I am the king of football

Chapter 260 Big Head's Growth

In this game, Manchester United captain Vidic started again. He helped the team win the captain's rock-paper-scissors game and finally chose the right to kick off.

So Qin Hu came to the kick-off point with the ball in his arms.

"Manchester United used a semi-rotation lineup in this game."

Watching the scene on the field, Zhan Jun quickly reported Manchester United's starting lineup.

"Qin Hu and Hernandez will be the double strikers, Nani and Welbeck will be the left and right midfielders, Cleverley and Carrick will be the double midfielders, and the back four will be Butner, Vidic, Evans, Rafael, and De Gea will be the goalkeeper."

This starting lineup is definitely not weak. Although Van Persie and Rooney are both sitting on the bench, Qin Hu alone is enough to give any opponent a hard time.

Carrick, who has been playing better and better this season and was not favored in the beginning but now has become the team's midfield pillar, also started the game, which means Manchester United will not have problems with ball delivery.

Except for Butner who is a rotation starter on the defense line, the other players are also at the main level.

“Sh ...

Just after Zhan Jun introduced Manchester United's starting lineup, the referee on the field blew the whistle to start the game.

"Shu~"

After passing the ball to his midfield teammates, Qin Hu, wearing a red jersey, rushed in the opposite direction towards the team where he had played for a whole season.

During this process, Qin Hu saw Cooper, Collen, Maguire who was ready on the defensive line, and Gulas who was standing in front of the goal and grinning at him.

"Hull City's starting lineup for this game was 4132, with Crouch and Graham, the team's new signings this season, as the two forwards, and Cooper and Sabo as the left and right midfielders respectively."

As soon as the game started, Hull City pressed forward quickly. They had no intention of parking the bus at Old Trafford. Queenslander Rangers and Galatasaray had already served as lessons. They would not be able to take away any points by playing the turtle here.

"The defensive midfielder is Huddlestone, and the back four is Velikovic, Maguire, Coulson and Chester. This is a very young back line with great impact in defense. As for the goalkeeper, it is still the familiar Tiger City goalkeeper Gulas."

On the court, after Zhan Jun announced the starting lineups of both teams, the midfield and frontcourt of the two teams had completely merged together, and the ball possession began to transfer continuously.

"Manchester United passed the ball very quickly, but Hull City also put a lot of pressure on them. The Tigers were in a very different state in this game, which was very different from their previous performance in the league."

This was naturally attributed to the reunion with Qin Hu. Just as Qin Hu wanted to show himself in the game, the old players of Tiger City did not want to be looked down upon by the soul and banner of the team last season. Everyone started the game with great enthusiasm.

In the tenth minute of the game, the Red Devils finally seized a gap in Hull City's defense. Carrick dribbled past Collen and then passed the ball to Hernandez on the right before Huddlestone came over.

"Little Pea got the ball behind the full-back. He moved very smartly and got himself a chance to kick the ball. He quickly kicked the ball into the middle!"

"Shu~"

The ball flew through the air, and Qin Hu, who was sprinting forward in the middle, arrived as expected. He jumped high and headed the ball, then threatened the opponent's goal. This is a plot that Manchester United fans are very familiar with.

However, this time it was different. There was a figure wearing a yellow visiting team jersey who hit the ball almost at the same time as Qin Hu, causing the ball to lose balance and go off the target. "Maguire! The young player Maguire and Qin Hu headed the ball together. As a standing center back, his talent is still visible to the naked eye even after coming to the Premier League!"

As Gulas rushed out of the small penalty area and grabbed the ball, the three parties landed and looked at each other.

"Qin, I will defend you!"

"Qin, it's not that easy to break through the gate I'm guarding!"

Both Maguire and Gulas looked at Qin Hu with sparkling eyes. They were rivals when they met again, and it would not work to let him go. If they wanted to score a goal, they had to show their true abilities.

Soon, as the game continued, Maguire proved with his beautiful headers and positioning again and again that it was no accident that he defended Qin Hu. The young defender was in such a hot state in this game.

In addition, Hull City goalkeeper Gulas was in great form. He blocked several shots after Qin Hu finally got rid of Maguire. The most thrilling one was Qin Hu's sudden shot in the penalty area that fell to the bottom left corner of the goal.

At that time, everyone thought that this shot would definitely result in a goal, but unfortunately it was touched by Gulas' fingertips and rolled out of the baseline.

"Wonderful! Hull City's defense was extremely good. Although the number of shots on goal for both sides had reached eight to one, the score was still 0-0. Maguire and Gulas' hot form maintained the situation."

Zhan Jun was also very excited to watch. This was good defense, completely different from frequent malicious fouls. Some of Qin Hu's ability to break through and seize opportunities were still visible to the naked eye, but they did not work under the double blockade.

"I have a bold suggestion. Manchester United is looking for a suitable defender in Europe. Maguire is a good fit. He is less than 20 years old and can be trained as the team's future defensive backbone!"

When Zhan Jun said this, Ferguson on the sidelines did not take his eyes off the young defender who was bigger than an ordinary person.

Qin Hu's positioning and aerial ball abilities on the court are both top-notch. The defenders defending him will lose their positions if they are not careful, but Maguire's judgment is very accurate and he almost never misses a step.

As for the high balls, the defender successfully wrestled with Qin Hu in the air during several of Qin Hu's headers, which directly resulted in the ball not threatening the goal. This already explains a lot.

"Write down his name~"

Waving his hand to let the assistant coach beside him come over, Ferguson said this sentence with interest, and what Zhan Jun said was really right. Ferguson took a fancy to the grown-up Big Head Maguire.

The final score of the first half remained at 0-0. When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, there was applause from the stands of Old Trafford.

Although Hull City's attack did not threaten Manchester United's goal, their defense, especially the performances of Maguire and Gulas, still won the respect of Manchester United fans.

However, it must be emphasized that the reason why they were so gentlemanly was still because of Qin Hu.

After all, there were many teams that tied with Manchester United at halftime at Old Trafford, and not every Red Devils fan was free to give applause.
