I am the king of football

Chapter 51 Xin Bu Chuan

The sun was shining and the crowds were bustling at Kingston Communications Stadium.

As Hull City continued to win in the Championship, more and more fans began to flock to the stadium. In addition, new fans joined from time to time because of the team's outstanding performance in the league.

In this game, Tiger City's home attendance reached an astonishing 90%, which has tied the team's first home game after being promoted to the Premier League for the first time.

There is no other reason. The team's opponent Reading is really the strongest opponent Hull City has encountered this season. In the 05/06 season, Reading Club set a league points record of 106 points in the Championship, and that season was only six years ago.

At that time, Hull City was really not good enough in front of Reading and was defeated twice by the opponent. But now, the team's six consecutive victories have given the fans great confidence. The two teams, which have been ups and downs in the Premier League during this period, meet again. Hull City fans who have memories are looking forward to the team defeating the opponent and washing away the shame.

"Oh oh oh~, Hull City! Hull City! We are the invincible Hull City~"

"Ho~ho~ho~"

The singing continued, and the fans continued to imitate Tiger's voice to create the atmosphere.

On the pitch, Hull City, as the home team, also entered the pitch early to start warming up. The players seemed quite excited as they felt the support from the fans.

When Qin Hu kept banging the ball into the goal during his shooting warm-up, the atmosphere among the Tiger City fans reached its peak.

"Qin! Qin! Qin! The giant tiger from the East ~ Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator Zhan Jun. I will now provide you with the commentary for this match."

All of Kono and the platform's English Championship live broadcast rooms were ordered to shut down and rectify overnight due to copyright issues. CCTV then quickly announced a partnership with ESPN, which owns the copyright to the Premier League and the English Championship.

CCTV not only directly purchased the broadcasting rights for all Hull City games in the English Championship, but also brought in Zhan Jun, a commentator who has worked at ESPN for many years and is well-loved by fans.

All in all, now fans no longer need to watch the game through English voice-over commentary introduced by pirated websites everywhere on the Internet.

All you have to do is turn on the TV and tune to CCTV-5 on the night of the game. It can be foreseen that in the future, no matter which team Qin Hu is in, his games will be officially broadcast.

"As the old saying goes, tigers will come down from the mountains in the middle of July next year. In July this year, Tiger City welcomed a tiger cub. At that time, no one knew that the little tiger was actually a ferocious tiger."

While the two teams on the field finished their warm-ups and returned to the locker room for final adjustments, Zhan Jun started chatting with a smile in front of the camera. With his witty mannerisms, he always managed to bring some interesting quotes to the fans.

"Now, I think all the fans gathered in front of the TV waiting for this tiger that has already shown its might - Qin Hu! Now he has followed the team into the stadium~"

The camera cuts to the point where the entire stadium begins to cheer as the two teams enter, and tens of thousands of home fans begin waving flags and cheering for their teams.

Feeling the atmosphere on the scene, both the home team and the visiting team players began to get excited. As long as they can have a wonderful performance in the game, every player has the potential to become the protagonist of the game.

"Okay, with the captains of both teams finishing their game of rock-paper-scissors, both teams have determined who will have the ball. The home team Hull City will take the lead in kicking off. China's Qin Hu and former Gunners player Simpson are standing in front of the kick-off spot."

"Shhh!!!"

The whistle sounded the next moment, Qin Hu pushed the ball out and turned to run forward, while Simpson passed the ball to Colen in the midfield and pulled it to the right.

"The game officially kicked off. Hull City played with all their best players. They lined up in a 442 formation, with the team's top scorer Qin Hu and Simpson, who scored the only goal for the team after his comeback. The strong midfielder Coren was behind them delivering ammunition..."

At the beginning of the game, the entire Hull City team chose to control the ball, which gave Zhan Jun the opportunity to introduce the situation of the two teams. In addition to the three core forwards and midfielders on the Hull City side, Bruce also arranged the team's best players in other positions.

Their opponent, Reading, was no less impressive. "Reading lined up in a 4231--- formation, with striker Huth, who had scored goals in two consecutive games, starting the game, and behind him was current assist king Leigh Wood and two midfielders to provide him with ammunition. In addition, Reading was the team with the fewest goals conceded in the Championship at the start of this season, with their defense conceding only two goals in six league games."

As if to echo Zhan Jun's words, Hull City's first attack after controlling the ball on the field soon ended.

That was Simpson's attempt to break through the middle after receiving a pass from the midfield. He ignored Qin Huchao's pull for the ball on the left and was intercepted by Reading center back Griffin after he passed a midfielder.

The camera did not continue to focus on Hull City's offensive combination after losing the ball, because Griffin kicked the ball out immediately after intercepting it, and midfielder Legwood successfully unloaded the ball.

"Okay, this is Reading's chance to attack. Hull City has four players in the midfield for this match. We can foresee a fierce battle between the two sides in the midfield."

On the court, Collen rushed towards Legwood as soon as possible, but before he could get to where he was, the opponent's teammate had already rushed up from the side. After a simple two-pass, Reading's attack continued to go deeper.

Fortunately, another midfielder Paul reacted quickly. He strode forward and blocked Legwood again, giving Collen the opportunity to return to defense. Then, as all five midfielders of the Reading team came up, the area from Hull City's half to the center circle began to become the main battlefield for a fight between the two sides.

"Boom!"

"Oh!"

The players from both sides refused to give in to each other, and the constant physical contact produced muffled sounds. The fans from both sides also kept roaring in the stands trying to cheer for their own players.

After a long period of ball possession, Hull City finally regained the ball, during which time they did not allow Reading to get any chances to threaten the goal.

"Colen chose to pass the ball to the wing and did not try to penetrate from the middle. This is a good strategy. Caveri quickly dribbled the ball on the right. Oh~ Simpson raised his hand to ask for the ball again! Inverted triangle pass, it was given to him!"

This was definitely a good counterattack opportunity for Hull City. When Simpson got the ball, both Cavelli who continued to advance on the right and Qin Hu who had already moved to the left side of the top of the penalty area in front of him were good pass targets.

However, the forward had no choice but to rush forward with the ball and then meet Griffin who had previously intercepted his ball.

With his shoulders lowered, his eyes moving, he kept moving the ball under his feet and broke through to the left!
In Simpson's fantasy, his moves were both chic and efficient. Next, as long as he passed Griffin, he could break directly into the penalty area and try to shoot.

What Qin Hu? Stand aside!
"Oh!"

Unfortunately, reality slapped him hard in the face. Griffin, who was as still as a mountain, used a fierce kick to break the ball under his feet. Simpson, who was just immersed in beautiful fantasies, fell to the side like a dog eating shit.

"No foul, Griffin's move was very clean!"

"Shh~~~~"

The Reading fans in the stands also booed in a mocking manner. It was really beyond their ability that someone wanted to get past their proud defender, Legwood.

At this moment on the Internet, fans' discussions are also exploding.

"This Simpson really didn't pass the ball. Qin Hu has already run to the position~"

"This is a waste of opportunity, what a jerk."

"Xin Bu Chuan, really Xin Bu Chuan, do you really think Reading is on the same level as Petersburg?"

Fans' dissatisfaction with Simpson has erupted again.

Today's update is here! Thank you all for your support! The second update will be here later. I had something to do today, but I said I would update twice, so I must update twice!
