I am the king of football

Chapter 66 Elegant Tulip

After breaking the winning streak, the entire Hull City team was completely free of burden. Although the feeling of playing with everyone's expectations was very honorable, it did put too much pressure on the players.

When the day's holiday ended and the team resumed training on the field, Hull City's performance did not decline but improved, and everyone was in a relaxed and happy state.

Bruce is naturally very satisfied with this state. The club's main goal this season is to be promoted to the Premier League. Therefore, as early as the beginning of August, it strategically gave up the League Cup and maintained the rhythm of a single game per week. Now it seems that the rhythm is maintained well.

Five days later, Hull City, in top form, easily defeated Birmingham, their opponent in the new round of the league, at home.

The opponent ranked 14th in the league did not bring them much pressure at all. Thanks to goals from Fryat and Colen, the team took a two-goal lead early in the first half.

Qin Hu did not score any goals in this game, but he was the assister for Colen's long-range shot in the 38th minute. At that time, he broke through two defensive players with a series of beautiful pull-ups and then passed the ball to Colen who was making a run.

In the second half of the game, although Birmingham adjusted its tactics in time and started a massive attack, Hull City's defense did not give them many opportunities.

It was not until the last stage of injury time that Birmingham scored a face-saving goal with a header from a corner kick.

2-1, Hull City successfully won the twelfth round of the league and broke the team's winning streak record.

When it came to the one-day holiday after the game, Qin Hu finally received his new talent card. He lay down on the bed early that day and called out the system interface.

"Shooting in the penalty area, organizing through the middle, and powerful free kicks."

What surprised Qin Hu was that the three golden ball cards given by the system this time were completely different from the rough summary of the previous four cards. The introductions of the three cards were more detailed, and there was a faint red light on the edges of the cards.

When his consciousness touched a card, a new prompt sounded from the system.

"Congratulations to the host for mastering four talent cards. The card system has entered the second stage..."

Soon, a piece of information naturally appeared in Qin Hu's mind. If the first four cards were the novice period, he should have entered the veteran period now.

According to the new information provided by the system, after selecting the fifth card, he must bring all existing talent cards to the star level before he can unlock the next card.

And for the first time, he learned the upper limit of the number of talent cards the system could give him - 10. If he fails to win the Golden Globe after reaching this number, the card system will no longer provide any help. As for the rewards for winning the Golden Globe, they have not been made public.

Obviously, nothing can be endless. Otherwise, according to Qin Hu's rapid progress in mastering the talent cards, within a few years, his number of talents would be too numerous to count.

When human power is limited, if too many messy things emerge in one person, Qin Hu's development may not be able to focus his energy and attention on enhancing the talents that suit his characteristics. After knowing the new requirements of the system, Qin Hu was quite serious when choosing this fifth talent.

Shooting in the restricted area, as the name suggests, is a talent that enhances one's ability to score after breaking into the restricted area. In fact, after the War God inheritance entered the star level, Qin Hu now has a feeling of defeating ten people with one force. However, not all opportunities are suitable for powerful shots. There are always some opportunities that he cannot grasp and can only waste.

If he chose this talent, his shooting ability inside and outside the penalty area would be fully improved. Thinking of this, Qin Hu directly put shooting in the penalty area at a very high priority level.

Then his attention turned to central organization and powerful free kicks. After further analysis, it became clear what these two cards could bring to him. One was the organizational ability after returning as a center forward, and the other was the powerful free kick that complemented his inherited talent as a God of War.

The first thing Qin Hu ruled out was organizing the team in the middle. He had been trained as a center forward since he was a child, and apart from being a fulcrum for distributing the ball to his teammates, he had never been asked to pull back to organize the team's offense. After arriving in Hull City, no one had ever asked him to do so.

As a pure striker, he is more interested in seeing the opponent's goal at first sight and finding a way to quickly hit the ball into the goal through simple and effective cooperation with his teammates.

As modern football no longer requires all-rounders, Qin Hu does not think it is necessary for him to choose this talent card.

So the final choice was to shoot in the penalty area and take a powerful free kick. After thinking for a moment, Qin Hu came to a conclusion.

As I said, free kicks are often the icing on the cake in a game. Even a free kick master like Mihajlovic has only scored a free kick hat trick once in his career, while shooting in the penalty area has completely enhanced Qin Hu's goal-scoring ability.

"Shh!"

Without any hesitation, Qin Hu chose the penalty area shooting talent card with a red border. As the card with the golden ball printed on it slowly turned around, a man who always loved to grin and exuded the elegance of a tulip appeared in front of him.

The king of the small penalty area - Van Nistelrooy, a man who is enough to scare the opposing fans when he brings the ball into the penalty area, a man who is crowned the king of the most dangerous area on the court because of his superb shooting skills.

Seeing Van Nistelrooy, Qin Hu was also excited. The talent card seemed to be able to customize different top talents for the host according to the characteristics of the host. The 1.88-meter-tall Dutch center Van Nistelrooy was definitely the best template for Qin Hu to learn penalty area shooting.

As Qin Hu closed his eyes, memories and images of the goals scored by this top Dutch center forward flooded into his mind. For a moment, Qin Hu seemed to have become the man who was omnipotent in the penalty area.

Any angle, any gap, any time, as long as there is a chance to threaten the goal, this man can always send the ball into the goal, regardless of the form or method, scoring goals is the kingly way!
The man who once pointed at Ronaldinho, who just debuted and loved to show off his footwork, and yelled "This is not a circus!" has only one belief in his heart - score! Goal! Goal!
"Whoo~"

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the King of the Small Forbidden Zone card talent. Talent progress - entry level (40%). Please upgrade the existing card talent to the ball star level as soon as possible to unlock the next card talent."

Today's update is here! I'm on a business trip, so I should be able to update twice today. If I'm busy in the next two days, I'll try to make sure there's at least one update tomorrow~ (PS: This chapter completes the system settings, hahaha, and it can be considered as filling a hole. Please forgive me. After all, I had a flash of inspiration when I started writing this book, so I'm sure I'll slowly fill in the unreasonable parts later~)
