I am the king of football

Chapter 313: Bai Baihe is in the spotlight

After Qin Hu's goal, the suspense of the game was completely killed.

It is not easy for West Ham United, which has already ingrained defensive tactics into their bones, to adjust in a short period of time. Although their coach changed the formation to 433 in the final moments, the strong inertia still prevented them from launching any threatening attacks.

Maguire, who came on as a substitute and partnered with Phil Jones, performed well. Having been the main central defender for Hull City in the first half of the season, he was quite experienced and directly judged the direction of the opponent's attack several times and moved in advance to intercept the ball.

In the physical confrontation, Maguire, who has a big head and a sturdy body, was fearless. He directly carried and pressed the West Ham United striker who was dribbling the ball, causing him to lose the ball in embarrassment.

In just less than twenty minutes, the young man's performance impressed Ferguson, and the team's huge expenditure in the winter window seemed to be well spent.

Finally, as the referee blew the whistle to end the game in the third minute of injury time, the FA Cup third round play-offs finally came to an end.

Manchester United eliminated their opponent at home and beat West Ham United 1-0 to advance to the next round. Compared with other teams that had to decide the outcome in one game, Manchester United, who played one more game, finally no longer had to face the troublesome Hammers.

Although this game seemed difficult to win, the overall goal was achieved. Manchester United's main players who were rested were able to recover a lot of physical strength in this game.

Qin Hu, who came on as a substitute, did not have to exert too much effort. Instead, this goal allowed him to maintain his touch. He will most likely continue to go all out in the next away game against Bai Baihe.

After the game, the entire Manchester United team solemnly shook hands with their opponents, West Ham United players.

In the two rounds of matches, West Ham United showed their strength. Being in the Championship, they made Manchester United, now the top team in the Premier League, unable to do anything to them. This in itself is a success.

"Qin, can we exchange jerseys?"

"Qin, my two children are both your fans, can we take a photo together~"

"Qin, your attack is too sharp!"

Soon, Qin Hu, who played a key role in both rounds, was surrounded by several Hammers players, all of whom wanted to exchange jerseys with Qin Hu.

In the end, Qin Hu chose to exchange with the player who was holding a photo of his two children, and signed autographs for everyone who gathered around him.

Unexpectedly, after playing for Manchester United for half a season, Qin Hu has already developed into an idol in the Championship. It can only be said that football really does not distinguish between age, but only strength.

Afterwards, Qin Hu, shirtless and showing off his muscular body, gave a brief interview in front of the camera, and the duel was completely over.

After some media reported the result of the game and the news that Qin Hu continued to score goals the next day, new hot spots soon covered this duel.

That’s right, after just defeating Liverpool in the league, there was no time to rest, and another Big6 team - Bai Baihe's Tottenham Hotspur was about to enter the battlefield.

This time, although Manchester United is now first in the league, quite a number of media are not optimistic about them.

It is extremely exhausting to face two strong opponents after another, not to mention there is an FA Cup match in between. Commentators from all walks of life believe that the Red Devils' form will inevitably be affected.

In contrast, Tottenham won again in the last round of the league and have been unbeaten for six consecutive league rounds. In the past six rounds, they have won five and tied one, earning 16 points. They also made a big move in the league table and came to third place in the league.

Such a hot state is inseparable from the performance of Bai Baihe's new twin stars Harry Kane and Gareth Bale. They can be said to have carried the banner of Tottenham's offense this season and made all opponents regretful.

Now, the fiery Bai Baihe met the seemingly tired Red Devils, and after a slight compromise between them, reports began to emerge.

"Sitting in White Hart Lane, Bai Baihe is ready to take on the challenge!"

"Can they beat Manchester United? Tottenham are in great form!" "Bai Baihe vs. Red Devils, Hull City twin stars reunite!"

……

No matter what the outside world reports, Manchester United's training ground remains calm. Compared with the speculations and estimates of those professionals, Ferguson is the one who knows the status of his players best.

The rotation against the Hammers allowed the team's main players to get enough rest, and now most of them have recovered at least 70%, which is completely sufficient.

After all, it is impossible for anyone who has just finished a game with Liverpool to be unaffected. The two games were only six days apart, so it is impossible for them to be fully recovered directly.

"Run, don't be lazy! Our opponents won't not score a goal on the court just because you're tired!"

Ferguson kept calling out to his players on the training ground, his eyes full of strength. The match against Bai Baihe was also a game that Manchester United must win on the road to the championship, and he would not allow anyone to let down.

Time passed by minute by minute, one day, two days, three days, and soon it was the day before the game.

Early that morning, Qin Hu received a call from Kane. The two old teammates asked each other questions and chatted about the candidates on the phone and reached a consensus that the winner would treat the winner to lunch.

"I'm waiting for you and Maguire in London. I've already booked the restaurant in advance~"

"Hmph, Harry, I'll take care of the bills, and you just sit back and relax."

"Then let's wait and see!"

"Let's wait and see~"

After saying goodbye to Kane, Qin Hu started the last day of training. He and Maguire talked and laughed about the agreement with Kane, and both of them were full of enthusiasm for preparation.

That afternoon, after the final training session, head coach Ferguson stood in front of all the players.

"Understood game, the starting lineup is as follows."

Holding the tactical board, Ferguson said with a serious expression: "Qin and Robin will form the double striker team."

It was a 442 formation again, with Manchester United's two forwards starting together again. Van Persie performed well as soon as he returned after missing a period of time due to injury, which made Ferguson fully trust him again.

"Left midfielder Rooney, right midfielder Valencia, midfielders Carrick and Cleverley."

Luke Shaw also continued to get the chance to start. Although he did not appear on the front line, the intention of arranging him in the left front position was very obvious. When necessary, Manchester United would change to three forwards as he made his move.

"Four defenders, Rafael, Ferdinand, Phil Jones, Evra, goalkeeper De Gea."

Phil Jones, who performed well, replaced Evans in the starting lineup. The other three defenders are still experienced veterans. The main focus is still on stability, and De Gea is the ironclad goalkeeper.

As for Maguire, he has been included in the team's roster and is on standby at any time. If he wants to get a starting position in Manchester United, he still has a long way to go.
