I am the king of football

Chapter 95: One Rider and Juechen

Qin Hu's appearance this time was more significant than substantial. With the team already leading by two goals and time already entering injury time, Bruce's intention in doing so was naturally to announce this to the fans and the public.

Afterwards, after the game, Qin Hu and Bruce came to the interview area together.

Coach Bruce praised the young player's ability and leadership in many words, and the player himself told the media that he was very honored to be chosen as the team's second captain by his teammates and coaches.

The media that received the interview results naturally focused on reporting Qin Hu's deeds after the game. As the player who turned the tide with a hat trick against the Saints, Qin Hu's popularity was even greater than that of the team that defeated Millwall, who was at the bottom of the league.

The local fans of Hull City naturally agree that Qin Hu is the team's second captain. Many fans who have been to the stadium have seen Qin Hu's performance on the field, his bravery, his passion, his endless desire for victory, and the players' active following of him.

Qin Hu is a very suitable candidate for captain. Although he is young and has not been in the team for long, his outstanding performance and terrifying data are enough to make up for it all.

However, the news that Hull City had a new captain was not considered a big deal throughout Europe. Even with Qin Hu's previous reputation as a genius, it did not cause much waves.

However, fans in China were completely delighted. There are very few Chinese players who can become captains when studying abroad. Many teams prefer local players or at least EU players when choosing captains. It is very difficult for players from other continents to become captains.

Therefore, after the game, the picture of Qin Hu wearing the captain's armband and running into the stadium was printed on countless posters and circulated in the country. Everyone felt sincerely proud of Qin Hu.

While the inspirational deeds of young captain Qin Hu were still being promoted in China, everything in Hull City had returned to normal. After a round of rest, the team's main players had also recovered, and everyone was busy resuming their normal training volume under Bruce's arrangement.

In addition, there is another good news that is also the source of excitement for the entire Hull City team, that is, Southampton was not as lucky as Hull City in the next 20 rounds of the league after the game with Hull City.

Going away to face Doncaster Rovers, who were ranked third from the bottom in the league, the Saints, who had only rotated half of their team, failed to beat their opponent. After fighting hard for 0 minutes, the score was still 0-. Then they were defeated by their opponent in the third minute of the four minutes of injury time.

This is a very similar scene. Two consecutive games were defeated in the injury time, and Southampton's morale suffered a devastating blow. The gap between them and Hull City was directly widened by six points.

At this point, there is no suspense about who will be the champion of the first half of the league. Even if Hull City loses the next three games, the Saints will not be able to catch up. On the contrary, they are gradually being approached by West Ham United behind them, and even the second position seems a little shaky.

In this context, Hull City had an easy time. On December 2011, 12, they would travel to challenge Coventry City, which was also on the verge of relegation.

Facing the opponent's bus formation, Hull City, who fielded half of their main players, performed quite stably. Although they failed to break the opponent's goal in the first half, they had created many opportunities to threaten Coventry's goal, while the opponent had no ability to counterattack.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Qin Hu, who had been on the bench for two consecutive games, came on the field. As the team's best long-range shooter, Bruce gave him a simple task, which was to keep firing at Coventry's airtight goal. Qin Hu did not fail in his task. In the 75th minute of the game, he was cruising at the top of the penalty area and received the ball passed by Cavill after breaking through on the left and shot directly.

The ball flew over the Coventry goalkeeper's fingers like a cruise missile and went into the goal. 1-0, Hull City broke through the Coventry bus defense.

In the following time, Coventry was caught in a dilemma: either they pressed forward to try to equalize the score, in which case Hull City's midfield and frontcourt would seize the opportunity to frequently threaten the goal, or they would shrink back to defend and become a turtle without any strength to fight back, waiting for slow death.

The miracle did not happen to Coventry after all. In the end, thanks to Qin Hu's powerful shot when he came on as a substitute, Hull City won the game away from home and took all three points.

After the game, Qin Hu, who did not play the full game but came on as a substitute and scored the only goal of the game, was once again named MVP. Judging from his performance, this honor is certainly well deserved.

On the other hand, Southampton was still in a difficult situation. After returning to their home ground, they drew 2-2 with Blackpool and failed to get all three points again.

At this point, according to media reports, Southampton will be out of the chase for the top Hull City for quite some time. Their points have been overtaken by West Ham United behind them after three consecutive league games without a win, and both teams have 43 points.

Hull City, who have won all three games, have now accumulated 58 points, which can be said to be far ahead of the rest. With 106 rounds left in the league, it seems very likely that they will break Reading's record of points in a single season in the Championship.

Many football critics believe that as long as Hull City can maintain this state, they will create a series of records in the history of the Championship that are difficult for future generations to reach. In other words, Hull City this season is likely to become the strongest team in the history of the Championship.

However, after two rounds of league games against the bottom team in the league, Hull City's opponents in the remaining two rounds of the league in 2011 were very tough.

They will face Middlesbrough, who are currently in fourth place in the league, in the 22nd round of the league, and then they will face Leicester City, who are currently ranked sixth in the league, in this year's Christmas battle.

According to the data Bruce obtained, neither of these two teams is an easy opponent to beat, and the team will inevitably spend a lot of energy if they want to continue winning.

It is for this reason that after the brief joy of being left behind by the teams chasing them, the Hull City team plunged back into high-intensity training.

Having a lead of more than ten points over the team behind is certainly an obvious advantage, but it is nothing with more than twenty rounds left in the league. If we cannot maintain our form and get points from every opponent, a comeback is not impossible.

Today's update is here! Thank you all for your support! The battle with the Saints was so intense that I suddenly got stuck. I will update it today. Let me sort it out~ Qin Hu's level and strength are now completely at the level of a top star in the English Championship. When his talents are all at the star level, the Premier League will be his real stage to conquer the world!
