I am the king of football

Chapter 27 Final preparations

As the host of Qin Hu's joining the team, George was very happy to take over the task given to him by Bruce. After communicating with Bruce, he officially started personal training with Qin Hu.

No matter how talented a youth player is, it always takes some time to adapt after being promoted to the first team, because the professional league and the U17 training nature are absolutely different.

Whether it is the Premier League or the Championship, the players are paid to shoulder the task of winning the team. Everyone is fighting hard on the court, and both the rhythm and the intensity of pressing will be doubled.

Naturally, there needs to be someone special to guide these young players from the youth training. If Bruce was not dissatisfied with Coulson and Cooper's physical fitness, they should actually come to George's place with Qin Hu to take classes.

George carefully arranged a training schedule for Qin Hu for the last week before the season. What he wanted to do was not to completely transform Qin Hu into a veteran player who could adapt to the Championship, but to make him realize what kind of league this is and adapt to it in advance.

"The income of a Premier League relegation team and a Championship promotion team can differ by 30 times in one year. Do you know what this means?"

George's eyes were full of passion as he earnestly explained the team's ambitions to Qin Hu, who didn't know much about the situation in the English league.

"It means that as long as we can successfully advance to the Super League, we can be reborn. Both the club's facilities and your wages will be greatly improved. We can also bring in real stars instead of scratching lottery tickets. We can compete for greater honors, the glory of the championship..."

Compared to the passionate George, Qin Hu was more of a listener. After choosing the third court fox talent last night, he had not had time to feel the changes in himself on the court. He was more eager to start training quickly so that he could master this talent as soon as possible.

As for the big pie that George painted, there is no need to guess, all the clubs in the Championship who are ambitious to get promoted to the Premier League will say this to stimulate their players, but in the end only three teams can be promoted every season.

As a player, Qin Hu's current understanding of professional football is to play every game well and be worthy of the salary paid by the club.

It is a little too early for him to compete for the highest league honors or even the Champions League honors. Maybe one day he will challenge them, but definitely not now.

"Okay, let's start training. This week we will mainly strengthen your ability to attack the goal under hard confrontation, as well as your thinking of correct off-ball movement on the court."

Seeing that his familiar rhetoric had little effect on Qin Hu, George immediately stopped wasting time and pulled out the tactical board. It must be said that when George was serious, he was still quite reliable with his bald hairstyle.

Then Qin Hu started to move, running against shots, running against headers, running around the post to receive the ball, and a series of various training methods began to greet him.

Especially in the item of running around the pile to catch the ball, he was required to think while running and then tell George his intentions and ideas about such a run.

This method of running and thinking constantly is very exhausting. Even though Qin Hu has plenty of energy, after a day's training, he no longer has the energy to practice more.

But he was in a good mood. Having learned from Inzaghi's fox talent, his positioning was very different from when he first joined the team. He also understood many of George's words very quickly.

From the theory of time and space exchange on the field to how to achieve a small-scale multi-player offense, Qin Hu verified the images in his mind again and again, which made George more and more satisfied with his answers after the run. In the cruel professional football, no one is willing to repeatedly teach dull players. Everyone is here to earn a salary, and if they can perform well, they will be replaced by the next one.

Qin Hu gave George the feeling that he was improving all the time. For some of the runs he was asked to do, he might not be able to explain them clearly the first time, but after describing them himself, he would be able to react quickly and use his own characteristics to run a better route.

This was actually a kind of reverse improvement for George. A week later, when he presented his own running board to Bruce again, Bruce, as the head coach, also gave him a big thumbs up.

In this way, Qin Hu made final preparations before the opening of the Championship League.

In seven days, the proficiency of the two mastered talents increased by 7% each, and the court fox increased by 14% to 36%. Although it is still far from complete mastery, Qin Hu's positioning on the court has gradually become more reasonable, and his progress is obvious to all.

With the arrival of a new week, the Championship League, which starts slightly earlier than the Premier League, has officially entered the countdown to its opening, and Hull City's recruitment work has also come to an end.

On the first day of the new week, a strong and capable figure appeared on the Hull City training ground. The team welcomed a new center forward - Jay Simpson.

This is a player who came from Arsenal's youth training. In 2006, at the age of 18, he appeared in the Gunners' first team roster and had the honor of winning the Emirates Cup with the team.

Unfortunately, like countless young players eliminated by giants, he gradually lost himself during the days when he was loaned out by the team. Although he had an outstanding performance of 13 goals and 5 assists for Queens Rangers last season, Wenger finally decided to give up on him.

On the field, Simpson is a center forward who fits the modern football tactics very well. With a height of 180cm, he is not weak in heading, and his ability as a fulcrum and running ability are also quite good. At least in Bruce's view, he can be trained as a core player in a Championship-level team.

Therefore, Bruce contacted the Gunners as soon as Simpson was put on the transfer window. In order to part ways amicably, Arsenal only asked for a transfer fee of 150 million euros and sold him to Hull City, on the condition that Simpson needed to receive a very considerable salary.

Hull City naturally had no objection. It was not easy to find such a suitable center forward in the transfer market at the critical moment when the team was striving for promotion to the Premier League. The club simply signed the 24-year-old striker.

Simpson looked like a slightly frivolous player when he came to the training ground. After he came to the team, he quickly became friends with some veterans of the team. From time to time, he discussed with some playboys where there were beautiful girls and bars in Hull City. He and Qin Hu and other young players were obviously not of the same kind.

Therefore, Qin Hu did not take the initiative to communicate with the other party. According to the coaching team's plan, the competitive relationship between the two is very obvious, and it will depend on their performance on the court.

However, Simpson's transfer was not the end of Hull City's summer transfer story. Just when everyone finished their physical training and returned to their normal preparation life, a figure that Qin Hu was no stranger to appeared on the court on the third day after Simpson's arrival.

The visitor was none other than Harry Kane, the talented English striker who had previously competed with Qin Hu in Tottenham U17 and ultimately lost.
