I am the king of football

Chapter 38 Different offensive and defensive forces
The rain kept falling and the atmosphere in the Hull City dressing room was not harmonious. Coach Bruce was saying something excitedly. Although the players in front of him raised their heads, their messy hairstyles and wet jerseys made them still look a little dejected.

"Okay, change your clothes first and forget about the first half, but we can't let the 0-1 score at home last until the end of the game."

Seeing the look on his disciples' faces, Bruce suddenly lost his temper after scolding them. It's not that these young men didn't fight hard on the field in the first half, but the accumulation of various unfavorable factors made the team suffer the bitter consequence of falling behind in the end.

Bruce didn't say anything else. In the few short minutes, the team members quickly wiped their hair with towels and changed into clean clothes.

"Coach, the field is really bad. I don't think we can continue playing like this in the second half."

After everyone was settled, Corey, the core of the team's midfield, spoke first. Hull City has never been a one-man show, and Bruce welcomes the players to put forward their own suggestions.

“I know we really have to make adjustments in the second half.”

Bruce nodded and pulled over the tactical board next to him. On it was the formation he had rearranged while the players were busy.

"In the second half we changed to a 433 formation, with Qin continuing to play as centre forward, Fryat moving to the right winger position, and Kaveli moving to the left winger position."

Bruce quickly announced his adjustments and then made new tactical requirements to the players after the formation change.

"Next, we will no longer try to control the ball for a long time. We will seize the opportunity and make long passes. The two wingers will try to cross the ball from the bottom. As for Qin, make full use of your heading ability!"

Bruce made decisive adjustments. A heavy rain disrupted all his pre-match arrangements. Now it was time to change his thinking and try to change the game.

"Understand coach!"

The team members naturally answered in unison, saying that it was their duty as crew members to obey the captain's orders.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Just as Bruce arranged some more details, the door of the team's locker room was knocked. Captain Coren stood up, glanced at all the players and made a final mobilization.

"Brothers, this is our home, we must not allow anyone to do whatever they want here!!!"

"Roar!!!"

"Tiger City will win!"

"Must win!"

They walked out of the locker room with high spirits, temporarily forgetting the irritating weather. After the half-time adjustment, the morale of the Hull City team began to improve.

"Okay, the two teams are back on the field. In the first half, Crystal Palace leads Hull City 1-0 away from home. Let's see how Hull City will respond in the second half."

As the two teams took their positions on the field, Kono also perked up. During the half-time break, he discussed with the audience in the live broadcast room how Hull City would play in the second half. Now they could see the changes in Bruce.

"Shhh!!!"

The whistle sounded and the Crystal Palace team, who had the right to kick off, took the lead in kicking off. The ball was quickly passed to their own center midfielder by Zaha, and a group of Eagles midfielders began to try to control the ball.

0-0 and 1-0 are definitely a world of difference for a team that plays defensive counterattacks. This is the happiest moment for Crystal Palace.

"Qin Hu started to press forward. Oh~, Hull City changed their formation to 433. In addition to Qin Hu, there were two other players who rushed into the Crystal Palace midfield with him."

"Oh!"

Qin Hu had a physical contact with the opponent's tall and strong midfielder Bai Ya. The opponent's huge strength almost made him stumble and lose the ball. Bai Ya could only pass the ball away in a panic.

However, Crystal Palace was destined to not be able to control the ball steadily and tease Hull City. As Cavelli and Fryatt quickly broke into their half, the ball could hardly flow freely under their feet.

"Crystal Palace had to push forward. The ball was given to Zaha, who was alone in control of the ball just past the midfield line. This was difficult to handle. He tried to push forward and pass, but was intercepted! Collen's kick was fierce and accurate!"

At this moment, the offensive and defensive situation was different. All the benefits of the heavy rain in the first half for Crystal Palace turned into Hull City's advantages. Crystal Palace, who wanted to control the ball and consume the opponent, was dragged down by it. "He did not continue to try to pass the ball. After the ball was intercepted, he directly sent the ball forward. Cavili on the left of Tiger City got the ball. Qin Hu was quickly inserted in the middle and rushed forward. Cavili was trying to go to the bottom!"

"Shu~"

Even though the Crystal Palace full-back rushed up at the first moment, he was unable to stop Cavelli's pass after aiming at the target. Although the winger's pass was not so accurate, it was enough.

"Qin Hu has already reached the front of the penalty area. He jumped high in the middle and headed the ball into the goal!"

"Oh!"

It was a very powerful header. If it weren't for the defensive player pulling on the side and the slippery rain on the ball, it would have been a perfect header.

"DUANG!"

"Oh, what a pity, the ball hit the upper right corner of the goal and bounced out of the bottom line. Qin Hu was disturbed and missed this opportunity..."

Countless Hull City fans who had made loud and long noises in preparation for celebration let out huge sighs. At this moment, the game had just reached the 50th minute. If the team could equalize the score with this attack, it would be the perfect script.

"Roar!!! Don't look down, get excited! We have plenty of opportunities!"

Just when the Hull City players on the field were feeling frustrated because this beautiful attack failed to equalize the score, Qin Hu's loud voice rang out. He waved his hands and shouted loudly to infect his teammates.

"understand!"

Colen, who got behind Qin Hu in the midfield, laughed. They launched such an attack right at the beginning of the second half, and they did have plenty of chances.

Seeing the performance of Qin Hu and their captain, the other players of Tiger City naturally had no reason to continue to be dejected. There was still a long time to play, and this was just an appetizer.

As the Crystal Palace goalkeeper threw the ball away, the game started again.

As time passed, Hull City's changes were very obvious, so obvious that Crystal Palace soon felt uncomfortable. Their tactical play was based on Hull City's ball possession tactics, and now the opponent played more simply than themselves, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

In the 65th minute of the game, Hull City's quick attack and quick passing style won the team a corner kick opportunity. As a group of header experts rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area and pushed and shoved the opponents, the atmosphere on the field became very hot.

"Stay focused and defend! Just defend them! Keep a close eye on their No. 99."

The Crystal Palace goalkeeper kept telling his defenders to keep a close eye on Qin Hu. As the person who had faced Qin Hu's header before, he knew very well that if the angle of the ball was a little more accurate, he would have absolutely no power to fight back, just like this ball now...

"Shit!"

The ball was sent out the next second, and Hull City's Oriental Giant Tiger jumped high again. The two defenders hanging on him still couldn't stop him. The ball was hit hard by Qin Hu and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.

The Crystal Palace goalkeeper, who was still imagining things in the previous second, had to face reality in the next second. He even suspected that the No. 99 player deliberately headed in the same direction to prove his heading ability.

"It's in!!! Brothers, it's in! Qin Hu! Chinese player Qin Hu! It's Qin Hu again! He stepped up once again and scored the equalizer, an impeccable header in the absolute blind spot!"

An excited Kono roared in the live broadcast room, and countless fans in the room were as excited as he was.

At Hull City's home ground, Kingston Communications Stadium, the field controller also called out Qin Hu's name through a huge loudspeaker.

"Qin————————Hu, GOAL!!!!!!"

"boom!!!"

This long, loud roar, like the roar of a sports car, instantly ignited the entire stadium.
