I am the king of football

Chapter 206 Red and White Gemini

The result of defeating Newcastle United 2-1 was within everyone's expectations. After all, Manchester United has now made people see the former Premier League overlord again, so even the substitute lineup should not be underestimated.

After the game, unlike the domestic media which reported with regret that Qin Hu failed to score consecutive goals due to too little playing time, many foreign media did not make a fuss about Qin Hu's failure to score consecutive goals.

It is not easy for a striker to score a goal. Even young Ballon d'Or winners like Messi and Ronaldo cannot score in every game.

What's more, it was obvious that Ferguson wanted to let Qin Hu rest in this game. If Rooney and Van Persie hadn't performed so poorly, he might have sat on the bench and not appeared on the field at all.

Therefore, these media reporters focused on the performance of Rooney and Van Persie. Everyone could see the tension and pressure in the hearts of these two stars.

"I think my players will solve the problem of mentality, there is no doubt about that. We are Manchester United and there are many indicators that can be competed for. As long as we maintain a good state, there is no need to worry about the problem of appearances."

The team's coach Ferguson said the following in an interview after the game. The first half of his speech responded to the media's attention to Rooney and Van Persie, while the second half seemed to be directed to these two people.

Yes, compared to those teams that need to avoid relegation or can only fight on a single front due to insufficient bench depth, Manchester United can compete for many more championship indicators. Relatively speaking, the team does not have many candidates for four and a half genuine forwards.

The two tormented players finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ferguson's words after the game. Facts have proved that no matter how outstanding a star is, he may be at a loss under the pressure of possibly losing his position in the team.

As for Qin Hu, he was also blocked by reporters after the game and asked a lot of questions, although the MVP of this game was actually Anderson who performed well after getting the chance to start.

"Competition? I don't pay too much attention to this. I just follow the coach's orders and try my best to play well in every game. Rooney and Robin are both very good people. We usually get along well in the team."

Qin Hu swore that what he said was truly from the bottom of his heart, but after the game some little black fans still thought he was being Versailles, but he couldn't control that.

In short, after this League Cup match, it is obvious to all who will be the leader of Manchester United's front line in the short term, and no one will have any objection to Ferguson's decision to identify an 18-year-old young player as the core of the front line.

At the same time, in the Premier League, a team is experiencing a similar thing as Manchester United, that is Tottenham Hotspur, which has not lost a single game this season like Manchester United.

In the Championship last season, two young forwards appeared in the public eye. One is Qin Hu, who is now shining brightly in Manchester United, and the other is the talented Harry Kane, who is recognized as the core of England's forward line for the next ten years.

This young striker, who was believed by his previous coach to need two years of experience outside before returning, was directly recalled by the new coach Villas-Boas after Hull City successfully promoted to the Premier League last season. Tottenham fans are looking forward to him being able to burst out at the top level like Qin Hu to help the team.

However, Kane's adaptation to the pace of the Premier League is obviously slower than Qin Hu. After failing to score in three consecutive games as a substitute, he got the chance to start because the team's starting power forward Defoe was injured.

Then, with more playing time at last, he scored a goal and assisted in a 3-1 win over newly promoted Reading, before netting the winning goal at home against Queens Park Rangers.

When the team challenged the little-known Calis team in the League Cup, the young player scored twice.

Kane has scored goals and performed well in three consecutive official games, proving his strength. Although he is still young, he has the ability to occupy a place in the team's forward line.

Bai Baihe's new coach Villas-Boas also directly expressed his love for Kane in front of the media, and his words showed his intention to continue using this young player.

The reason why we have to talk so much is that in the sixth round of the league, Manchester United will officially welcome the challenge of Tottenham Hotspur at home. In the past, the red and white battle did not receive so much attention. After all, Bai Baihe's real enemy should be Arsenal, not Arsenal's enemy Manchester United.

But this time, because of Qin Hu and Kane's experience as teammates last season and the series of Championship records they created together, countless media have focused their cameras on the two of them early on.

Coupled with their outstanding performance since the start of this season and their similar age, it is not an exaggeration to call them the most watched twin stars in the Premier League today.

Regardless of what the Hull City fans who knew about the relationship between the two said, various reporters and media began to promote the issue of who is the stronger of the twins between Qin and Kane.

For a time, fans of Tottenham and Manchester United who supported their children began a heated discussion online, and both sides gradually became very angry.

Compared to the fans, the parties involved were quite calm.

"Qin, haha, working with him last season is one of my best memories. It's really comfortable to partner with him. You can trust him without reservation, because a player like him will not let you down."

First, Kane acted very intimately when asked about Qin Hu at the press conference, and he directly put his good personal relationship with Qin Hu on the table.

"But now we each have our own team, and I think we will all try our best to help our team win, there is no doubt about that."

No matter how you look at it, it wasn't a very aggressive statement, which disappointed the journalists and media who wanted to challenge him.

Afterwards they found Qin Hu again, trying to stir up his unyielding character and make him say some harsh words, but they were disappointed in the end.

"Kane? To be honest, I miss him. We hardly talk to each other when we play together. He can think of all my thoughts. I am looking forward to meeting him on the court."

"So Qin, some people think Kane and his team will beat you at Old Trafford, what do you think?"

"Uh? Hahaha, someone? It must be you!"

Qin Hu glanced at the reporter who asked the question with a smile, then coughed and stood up.

"We are all professional players. Even if we are good friends in private, we will definitely try our best on the court. I think he is the same as me in this regard. I am looking forward to playing against him. As for the outcome of the game, we will make a conclusion when the whistle blows at the end of the game."

Wow, no one expected that these two former teammates really had the words "mutual appreciation" written on their faces, and both of their speeches were flawless.

In the end, these media outlets unanimously decided to ignore the two people's speeches and forced the competition mode into action.

It turns out that some things will still happen even if I don’t want them to.

Chapter 2 is here! Thank you all for your support!!! Sometimes I wonder if the reason why Melo and Ronaldo's fans are so hostile to each other is because the media keep fanning the flames. The two of them rarely make comments directly related to each other, but there are some things that players cannot decide on their own. The media needs traffic, and fans need a place to vent their emotions. As a neutral fan, this kind of competition forced by public opinion is really a bit... What can I say? Just ignore it...
