I am the king of football

Chapter 67 Abnormal Watford

When people have become accustomed to Qin Hu's excellence, it becomes less easy to discover new changes in him.

The next day, when Qin Hu was training on the field, he kept sending the ball into the goal as usual, and the other players didn't notice anything different.

It was George, the team's assistant coach in charge of forward training, who discovered through data analysis and observation that although Qin Hu's hit rate was still very high today, his shooting method had changed.

If before, Qin Hu relied on his huge shooting power to shoot continuously no matter what position he was in, then today he began to try some technical shots.

Most of these shots took place within the penalty area and were from many tricky angles, which was quite different from Qin Hu's shooting habits that George had previously summarized.

"Hey, this kid is really creative and knows how to enrich his ways of breaking through the goal."

In the end, George attributed the change to Qin Hu's own initiative to seek change.

The coaching staff naturally strongly supported the players' active efforts to seek improvement. After the training that day, George handed Qin Hu a large amount of information and videos.

"Qin, here are some technical summaries and practice videos of shooting in the penalty area. I think it will help you enrich your scoring methods."

"Okay! Thank you, coach~"

Unlike the previous players who could learn the talent of the Foot of God by asking Kane and Coren, Hull City does not have a player like Van Nistelrooy who has a variety of shooting techniques in the penalty area.

Therefore, Qin Hu could only train by constantly verifying the memories brought to him by the talent card. Now George gave him a new way of verification, which would undoubtedly allow Qin Hu to integrate with the "King of the Small Penalty Zone" talent card as quickly and accurately as possible.

So in the following days, Qin Hu spent the day training hard to hone his practical skills, and at night he watched videos at home to analyze his own problems.

This feeling of feeling his own progress every day and showing it directly on the court really makes Qin Hu unable to stop.

In a blink of an eye, match day is here again. After defeating several teams ranked in the top half of the league in succession, the strength of Hull City's opponents finally began to weaken.

In the 21th round of the league, Hull City will face the challenging Watford team at home. The opponent is now ranked st in the league, yes, on the edge of the relegation zone of the Championship.

For a time, many media began to report in advance and predicted that Hull City would further increase their Championship winning streak record, and the media's comments on Watford, which had been in a slump since the start of this season, were merciless.

Fortunately, the Hull City players remained calm. Their head coach Bruce used a very serious attitude and high-intensity training to keep every player who was a little bit dizzy calm.

However, in the arrangement of the starting lineup and roster the day before the game, the team still showed the necessary planning when facing a weak team.

"Qin and Fryat are the two forwards, Adebola and Kupa are the two wingers, and the midfield combination of Colen and Evans."

A 442 formation was adopted, with the main players and substitutes being arranged alternately. Most of the starting players were good at long-range shots or had outstanding speed. It was obvious that the team was ready to break the bus.

On the defensive line, the combination of Maguire and Coulson also reappeared under this arrangement. Although the defensive stability is not enough, Coulson's long pass ability is needed for the team's quick offense. Now he is considered a regular choice for the team's defensive rotation.

After announcing the starting lineup, Bruce announced the players on the roster, and then looked up at his players. "I think you have seen a lot of opponents' lineups this season. I can only say that everyone should not take it lightly. Be extremely alert in tomorrow's game. Whether defending against the opponent's counterattack or attacking, you must be decisive!"

"Understood, Boss!"

As Bruce led the team to the top of the table, the players' name for him has been raised to BOSS, the most respectful title for head coach in the UK. No one dares to take the request of their BOSS lightly.

On the day of the match, the sky over Hull was cloudless and the weather was unusually not cloudy, which is quite rare in England where heavy autumn rains can come at any time.

At the Kingston Communications Stadium, the enthusiasm of the fans was very much in line with the weather. Although it was already October and the weather was getting colder, there were still many shirtless Hull City fans in the stands waving flags and banging drums passionately, creating an extremely warm atmosphere.

"Hull City, Hull City, we are the unstoppable Hull City~"

"Roar, roar, roar! The tiger is out of the cage~ Roar, roar, roar! Invincible~"

All kinds of celebratory slogans echoed over the stadium. A quarter of the season had passed, and the Hull City players had completely impressed their fans with their performance.

When the home team Hull City appeared on the field wearing orange jerseys, the enthusiastic atmosphere reached its peak, and more than 20,000 home fans showed their unparalleled love for their players.

Compared with them, Watford's fan section seemed quite deserted, because of the team's poor performance this season, there were very few fans who came from afar to support the visiting team.

However, the visiting team's warm-up performance on the field was not bad at all. I don't know what magic their coach used, but Watford's momentum in this game did not look like a team on the verge of relegation, and their warm-up session was also in full swing.

This contrast reached its peak when the two teams' lineups were announced.

"Wow, Watford played in a 433 formation in this game. They didn't play in a bus formation as predicted before the game."

Zhan Jun, who was the first to get the list in the commentary room, was also quite surprised. Normally, when a relegation team faces a top team in the league, they tend to focus on defense. Who would have thought that Watford would be so bold as to play against Hull City, which is currently dominating the league, away from home.

When the two teams stood on the field, the formation announced by Watford was officially verified, which made Zhan Jun sit up straight.

"It seems like Watford is very confident in this game. They should have their own new style of play."

"Shhh!!!"

Before anyone could analyze it any further, the game on the field had already begun. Watford, who chose the right to kick off, kicked the ball, and then the entire team began to press forward.

"Okay, the game officially begins. The visiting team Watford didn't even have much control of the ball. They passed the ball three times and twice before they crossed the half court!"

For a moment, the Hull City team, which had not been fully prepared at the start of the game, was a little panicked. Faced with the opponent's crazy all-out attack, the players chose to retreat immediately.
