I am the king of football

Chapter 84 Professional Team
Taking into account the team's great consumption in facing Burnley and the next round of the league against Southampton, Bruce arranged another day off, so Qin Hu was able to quickly contact Mendes the next morning.

"Yeah, I saw it. I saw the announcement from your club. Your captain Keren is out for two and a half months due to injury. I'm so sorry Qin."

As Qin Hu's agent, Mendes is very professional. His team is always paying attention to the news of the players and teams under Mendes, but he did not expect Qin Hu to take the initiative to call him.

"With the team lacking a core midfielder, Hull City's position will definitely be affected during this period. Qin, do you want to leave here in the winter window? I already have several top league clubs interested in you."

"Uh, no, sir. I want to ask if you have a personal team to monitor and maintain your physical condition. I have no plans to transfer in the winter window. I feel good here."

Qin Hu was stunned when he heard what Mendes said. He had never thought about how Hull City, which was missing a core player due to Collen's injury, would spend the next period of time. Mendes' direct question to him about whether he wanted to withdraw during the winter window was quite direct.

"Haha, okay, that's good. Staying with him is also good for your image as a player. So you want to find a professional body maintenance team, right? I actually have one. Ronaldo's team was formed with my help."

"Ronaldo? Ronaldo's team? Isn't it too expensive..."

"Don't worry about that. Your physical condition is currently improving, so you won't need to use them very often. I'll talk to the team for you. I think they'd be happy to take some time out from time to time to do some testing and maintenance on your body."

"Thank you, sir. When the salary is due, just send it to me by email. I will pay it on time."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hu breathed a sigh of relief. For him, who had just officially entered his professional career for less than half a year, the team required for a top player was still too complicated. He could only slowly increase the team as the need arose in the future.

After hanging up the phone with Mendes in the morning, Qin Hu received a reply from Mendes in the afternoon. The professional team serving Ronaldo has agreed to conduct a comprehensive physical examination for Qin Hu every two months and give advice.

Qin Hu naturally thanked him repeatedly for this, and a major event came to an end.

The next day, the Hull City team returned to the training ground, but this time the morale of the team was quite low. No one was happy when the team's highly respected captain was about to be out for at least two months due to injury.

Bruce didn't have any good solution. He could only shout at everyone to cheer up before the training started. Collen's injury didn't mean he wouldn't play the game. The team still had a long way to go.

The professional players could not fail to understand this, and they continued training in sadness.

As the team's training returned to normal, Bruce and his team on the sidelines began to worry. Without Collen, the team's midfield was like losing its brain. In this situation, they were about to face Southampton, which was too worrying.

"Maybe we can only let Evans try again..."

"No, absolutely not. The game he played was a disaster. Southampton are not Burnley. They are crazier."

"Then who do you think we should use? Who else can play as a front midfielder in the team and perform well? Who else do you think we should use?"

"Me! You! Mr. Bruce, what do you think?" "..."

George and Hunter kept arguing next to Bruce's head, which made Bruce very confused. When Hunter suddenly brought the topic to himself, Bruce was speechless for a moment. He scratched his head and quickly glanced across the court.

"Kane, let Kane practice with the midfield group for a while. We will focus on training Evans in the next period of time. I hope that the last game will help him improve."

"Ok sir."

After constantly recalling the past and quickly flipping through the information of the players in his hands, Bruce came up with a suggestion that was somewhat feasible - let Kane, who has certain organizational skills, try the position of attacking midfielder.

This is not aimless. According to Kane's information, he often worked part-time as the team's midfield offensive organizer when he was in Tottenham's youth training. Various scouts evaluated him as a comprehensive number ten attacker. It is possible for him to occasionally play as a central midfielder.

However, in this arrangement, Bruce cannot copy the 442 formation that the team used to use. The position of the midfield organizer in that formation is too far back, which is a waste of Kane's equally good offensive ability.

After more than a dozen rounds of games, the team has already determined Qin Hu as the absolute offensive core, and the strategy of focusing on him to mobilize the momentum of young players such as Kane and Cooper to disperse the opponent's defensive focus and seek victory. Directly placing Kane at the back will add great pressure to Qin Hu.

So after a few days of training and running-in, Bruce and his team finally finalized a 4231 lineup.

The day before the match, Hull City played a training match at their own training ground, with Team A, wearing red jerseys, sending out all their main players.

Qin Hu took the lead, with Cavelli, Kane and Cooper behind him. Paul and Evans formed the double defensive midfielders, with four defenders including Dudjian, Maguire, Chester and Rosenior, and goalkeeper Gulas.

This is the new starting lineup of Hull City that Bruce arranged after Collen left. After the training match started, as Paul and Evans shared a large part of the midfield defense tasks, Kane, who was in the attacking midfielder position, only needed to pass the ball forward.

Relying on the high degree of tacit understanding with Qin Hu, Kane made two assists in just 60 minutes of training match, assisting Qin Hu to score a straight pass and a header.

In addition, after the team's massive attack, Kane quickly joined in to form a double striker with Qin Hu at Bruce's request. The two of them kept making short passes and directly created an excellent shooting opportunity for Kane. The young player lived up to expectations and scored the goal.

3-0, when the training match ended, Bruce and other members of the coaching team's eyes lit up. It was worth their painstaking efforts to teach Kane what a midfield organizer needs to do. Now it seems that this young player with a very good temper has done a quite good job.

"Very good, very good! Tomorrow's game shouldn't be too bad. The young players on our team are all really talented."

Bruce standing on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure of facing Southampton Saints was relieved a lot at this moment. After the training match, he began to wave to the players to follow him into the house.
