I am the king of football

Chapter 367 An Insignificant Story
Qin Hu's goal broke the deadlock on the field and also broke the defense that Hull City had painstakingly built up in this game. When Bruce saw the fans at his home stadium cheering Qin Hu without hesitation, he knew they had lost.

It is very difficult for a team that has been determined to maintain a draw from the beginning to sound the clarion call for a counterattack in a short period of time after falling behind. This not only requires the head coach to make timely adjustments, but also requires the team to have a spirit of never admitting defeat.

Unfortunately, the current adjusted Tigers team no longer has the spirit of the past. Bruce immediately wanted to turn around and adjust the tactics, but when he looked up, he found that after the adjustments after the winter transfer window, he did not have many players with strong impact.

When the game resumed, Hull City did not even change to a full attacking formation. They simply moved several midfielders forward to try a counterattack after the kick-off, and then after being hit by a fierce attack from Manchester United after they intercepted the ball, they completely stopped.

It is true that the team has escaped the relegation zone, but with at least 20 points left to play for in the league, the goal difference is also something the team must consider when they realize they may not be able to win the game.

So, seventy-five minutes into the game, Hull City, who were one goal behind, once again turned into a defensive bus formation, which left their opponent Manchester United a little confused.

After 80 minutes of the game, when Ferguson found that the opponent did not even have a counterattack, he turned around and made a substitution. Van Persie came on as a substitute for Qin Hu. The former Hull City player thus completed his journey back to his old club's home ground.

When he took the initiative to bow to the four stands in thanks after hugging Van Persie, the Kingston Communications Stadium was once again filled with thunderous applause. Both the Manchester United fans who came from afar and the Hull City fans at the scene shouted the same name.

“Qin~~~~~~!!!”

Hull City's field control also stretched out his voice again after almost a whole season, shouting out the name that he had shouted at the top of his lungs countless times last season.

"This is Hull City fans' farewell to Qin Hu. From now on, their team's style of play will completely bid farewell to the wildness of last season when they had Qin Hu and Kane as the two forwards. Tiger City has officially entered the era of defensive relegation."

This is reality and people have to learn to accept it.

In the remaining time of the game, although the newly-appeared Van Persie was in good shape, he ultimately failed to score a goal in the face of an opponent whose defense was determined to maintain a one-goal loss.

1-0, Manchester United won the league game away from home. They successfully continued their winning streak in the league and still maintained a -point gap with Manchester City, who were still trying hard to get closer to them.

As the league enters the final seven rounds, Manchester United is getting closer and closer to winning the championship ahead of schedule. However, before that, they will have to face the challenge of their city rivals Manchester City at home in the next round of the league. This battle is likely to become a key battle in this season's Premier League championship battle.

After taking the initiative to hug the few remaining old teammates in Hull City, Qin Hu and Manchester United left the Kingston Communications Stadium. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he sat on the Red Devils' bus and watched the familiar streets disappearing away.

This is Hull City's City Park. There is a baseball field inside. There is the most famous bakery there. Their cheese is perfect for eating with milk in the morning. And here is the end point of the parade after Hull City won the Championship trophy last season...

He hadn't seen everything since he left this city last year. The scene at this moment was so similar to when he drove Lin Lan away.

The river of time flows into the sea, the old place remains but the old people are no longer there.

"Love you, Qin!" When the bus drove away from the last street of Hull City, a lovely children's graffiti appeared in front of Qin Hu. It was a childish work of art. On it was a player wearing an orange No. 9 jersey. He was holding his hands high with his arms open, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

Judging from the handwriting on the painting, it was obviously drawn by a young fan for this reunion. The author is not seen at the moment and should be leaving the Kingston Communications Stadium with his parents.

"Wait a mininute."

After stopping the bus, Qin Hu took out a Manchester United jersey and signed it. He folded the jersey solemnly and placed it under the graffiti. He also carved the words "Thank you for your love - to the author of the graffiti" on the stone next to it.

After doing all this, Qin Hu got on the bus again and left the city with his new team.

That night, when a little boy was discussing the game with his parents while walking towards his carefully created graffiti, the surprise suddenly came.

This is an insignificant story among the countless football stories that have happened in the world. Perhaps it is not worth mentioning among so many interesting anecdotes about football stars, but it has definitely planted a seed in the heart of this little fan.

After returning to Manchester, the Red Devils had no time to be happy about this well-deserved victory. In the new week they were back to playing two games a week, and the first one they faced was the FA Cup match against Blackburn.

This match is related to whether Manchester United can reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It is a match that the team must handle with caution if they want to flourish. However, their opponents are indeed not strong, and as long as the team's form does not decline significantly, it will not be a problem to win.

The second game is more crucial. It is the battle with the city rivals Manchester City mentioned earlier. This is a league showdown involving six points. Once this game is won, Manchester United's lead over the opponent will reach a desperate level.

Therefore, from the very beginning of preparation, Ferguson set the training intensity according to the match against Manchester City at its peak, and all the players were complaining on the court.

But this kind of training is obviously very effective. In the FA Cup quarter-finals in the middle of the new week, Manchester United's second team, which had undergone a large rotation, defeated the opponent cleanly with a score of 3-0. The Red Devils successfully advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals.

In the FA Cup system where each round is decided by one game, the Red Devils only have one game left before the final, and they don’t know who their opponent will be yet.

Then, immediately afterwards, Manchester United entered the most rigorous preparation mode. Facing their city rivals who had taken away the championship last season, there was no need to explain the reasons. Victory was what they had to win. This was a bloody shame and also a battle to once again declare who was the boss of Manchester.

"This is a game we will definitely win this season, no doubt about it. Manchester City will only get beaten badly if they come here, I say that."

Two days before the game, Ferguson had already started firing at the media.
