I am the king of football

Chapter 224: The Overlord Returns
In this game, several big players of the team did not play. Vidic, Ferdinand, Scholes and Giggs all sat anxiously on the bench.

For a moment, Van Persie wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that he was no longer the captain of the Gunners on the field like he was last season, and his status in the Red Devils was not as important as that of the Gunners.

In fact, if he opened his mouth and shouted, the older players on the field and their past achievements would still make other players listen to him.

But the problem was that Van Persie became emotional as soon as he thought about the past. He definitely had feelings for Arsenal, after all, that was the club he had stayed in for so long. Now his emotions suddenly surged up and he opened his mouth to shout but no words came out.

"Don't panic! There's still plenty of time, get ready to tee off!"

Fortunately, there was another person on the field who was qualified to shout out and would be followed by the team. Qin Hu had already taken the ball from De Gea and ran towards the midfield kick-off point.

Along the way, he was in the mood to pat Butner on the shoulder as he was walking back and gave him a firm look, which touched Butner, who was also a new player.

As for the other team members, after seeing Qin Hu's superb performance in one game after another, they had already recognized him in their hearts.

In addition, after the last round of the league, several veteran players continued to push Qin Hu to the center of the team's topic, which also revealed a trend - Manchester United's Knights of the Round Table admired Qin Hu very much.

Faced with the new team leader who is likely to replace the veterans who are destined to leave the team in recent seasons, no one will question Qin Hu.

"Okay," Qin Hu said as he waved his hand and ran to the kick-off point. Along the way, the Manchester United players responded to him one after another. With his encouragement, it seems that the Red Devils recovered from the blow of falling behind by two goals very quickly.

Everyone watching the game naturally saw the changes in Manchester United. After being beaten by Ferguson, the eyes of Manchester United's defense line changed. Now, with Qin Hu waving his arms and cheering all the way, the pride of the Red Devils as a wealthy team was ignited again.

When both teams returned to their respective positions, the ball was quickly kicked out again. This time, although Manchester United was two goals behind, their style of play was completely different from after conceding the first goal.

Almost as soon as Qin Hu and Van Persie passed the ball to the midfield and ran forward, Fletcher, who got the ball, started to pass it forward.

Rooney and Shinji Kagawa quickly moved apart on the left and right sides, one relying on their physical strength and the other relying on their speed, which made it quite difficult for Braga's midfield to defend.

And that’s not all, Qin Hu and Van Persie also deliberately moved back and for a while formed a five-man ball control formation with their teammates in the frontcourt.

As the ball was quickly passed around, the stronger overall strength of Manchester United's stars was revealed.

Their constant passing of the ball made it difficult for the defending Braga players to keep up. Even if two or three of them pressed one player, the opponent would eventually get the ball away, which was very uncomfortable.

However, since Braga did not use almost all its players to defend at the beginning of the game, the Red Devils did not see any chance to directly threaten the opponent's goal in the short term, and they could only wait for a change.

Fortunately, people didn't have to wait too long. Five minutes later, the change came.

"In the 26th minute of the game, Rooney took the ball on the left and tried to break through. He had just left Amorim behind with his physical advantage and continued forward, about to meet Alan~"

"Boom!"

The next second, Alan, who was trying to pass the ball, gave Rooney a fierce collision, and Rooney and Alan fell to the ground at the same time.

"Foul! An obvious foul! Wait, the referee didn't blow the whistle. Shinji Kagawa took the ball and continued forward. The Braga defenders were stunned for a moment. This is a chance!"

The sharp-eyed Zhan Jun instantly realized that Manchester United's opportunity had come. After receiving the ball, Shinji Kagawa almost didn't pause for a second before he directly lifted the ball into the large space behind the opponent's defense line.

When people saw a figure wearing the No. 19 jersey striding into the penalty area between the two central defenders, cheers were heard in the sky above Old Trafford. "Boom!"

"Oh!"

"Qin Hu! A headbutt!!!"

Beto was completely defenseless, like a human-shaped beast. The pressure from Qin Hu, who jumped high in front of him, was so strong that the ball flew past him and into the goal like a cannonball. There was only despair in his eyes.

"It's in! It's in! Beautiful! Taking advantage of the attacking opportunity, Manchester United keenly grasped the opportunity to score! Qin Hu used a header to help the team pull one back!"

"Qin! Qin! Qin!"

The Red Devils fans in the stands began to cheer loudly. The sound of their voices, which had just started, reached a climax at this moment, and Qin Hu's name echoed throughout the stadium.

"It's like a demon slayer from heaven, a real Tai Sui God on earth! Qin Hu's header pressure is always at its maximum, which is very consistent with his nickname of Overlord. I think every player who needs to defend against his header will feel extremely desperate."

Zhan Jun's classic quote was performed again. Looking at the replay of Qin Hu's header on the big screen, everyone had to admit that this goal was truly extremely domineering.

On the field, Braga's players were still arguing with the referee. After hearing the whistle for the goal, Qin Hu and his teammates who rushed over were celebrating in front of the corner area.

Simply calling on teammates to cheer up is definitely not as inspiring as scoring a goal directly. At this moment, Manchester United's morale, which had been as weak as a frost-bitten eggplant after conceding two consecutive goals, began to recover rapidly.

When the players of the two teams stood on the court again, the momentum comparison between the two sides had changed again.

The Braga players, who had been overwhelmed by the great joy of leading by two goals and felt that they had it all together, have calmed down. When they looked at the murderous Manchester United players in front of them, fear was once again in their eyes.

"Shhh!!!"

The whistle sounded again and the game started again. Braga, who had control of the ball, maintained a 4231 formation and shrank back. They began to waste time by constantly controlling the ball in the midfield.

Slowly, five to ten minutes passed, and everyone could see that Braga was getting scared. After realizing that Manchester United's offensive threat was no weaker than theirs, Braga adjusted its stance.

They are here to ask for points, not to beat Manchester United. That would be too magical and too difficult to achieve.

Therefore, the rest of the first half of the game became a drill for Manchester United to break through the multi-level bus. Every time they took the ball back from the opponent, they tried to pass the ball to the teammates in front.

During this process, Qin Hu made two super long shots from outside the penalty area. One hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, and the other hit the right post of Braga amid the exclamations of the whole audience. Beto almost got injured and held it down under the feet of Van Persie who came in to make a supplementary shot.

As for Rooney, Van Persie and others, they also got several chances to shoot in succession, but due to the opponent's timid defense and the average quality of their shots, they were all blocked by Beto's high catches.

When the half-time whistle sounded, the number of shots between the two sides had become a huge disparity of 11-2, but unfortunately Manchester United still failed to equalize the score.

1-2, with the score of this game, the two teams entered the halftime break.
