I am the king of football

Chapter 76: The Magic of Allardyce

"West Ham United fell behind in the first half. Qin Hu and Kane assisted each other in scoring goals. It was such a beautiful scene~"

When the game restarted again, Zhan Jun in the commentary room relaxed. The Kaihu connection, as the fans' favorite forward connection, once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Hull City's momentum reached its peak at this moment. After West Ham United restarted the game, the players did not press forward frantically, but chose to relax and play the rest of the first half.

In contrast, West Ham United was full of tension. Allardyce was very afraid that Hull City would take advantage of this final stage to launch a crazy attack on his own team.

There was still room for recovery after falling behind 0-2, but if we were beaten 0-3 at halftime, the game would be truly hopeless.

Fortunately, Hull City relaxed first, which reduced the pressure on Allardyce and his players. The Hammers carefully controlled the ball in the final stage of the first half and lasted until the end of the first half.

"Shhh!!!"

"Okay, the first half is over. Hull City leads their opponent West Ham United 2-0 at home. They made several wonderful attacks in the first half, and the two superstars on the team's front line also scored goals."

The camera shifted from the court to Zhan Jun's face in the commentary room, and the fans' attention was reluctantly drawn back. Everyone enjoyed the first half.

Previously, various comments had already started to appear under the posts that slandered Qin Hu on various forums. Qin Hu used his hard power to directly slap the faces of all the voices that questioned him.

During the half-time break, both the Tiger City players and Bruce were optimistic about the game. Everyone spoke freely in the locker room without talking too much about tactics.

After thinking about it, Bruce didn't find any need to adjust his tactical arrangements.

The team played very well, both the core of the midfield organization, Corey, and the trident on the front line performed brilliantly. In addition to Qin Hu and Kane who scored goals, Cooper also entangled at least two defensive players on the right.

"We will continue to work hard in the second half. If we can keep leading, I will prioritize substituting some players to give them a rest."

"Understood, Boss!"

Unlike the Hull City team which was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, the angry voice of coach Allardyce was heard in the West Ham United's locker room. The power of his hair dryer was so great that the staff standing outside the door could not help but frown.

"XXX, in short, if you still play like wimps in the second half, none of the starting players in the next league game will have to play!"

"..."

He pulled the tactical board over and cursed. Despite his tactical thinking and arrangements, Allardyce drew a circle on the tactical board to represent Hull City's formation.

The Hammers players were a little surprised when they took a closer look. Due to the excellent performances of Qin Hu and Kane in the first half, they naturally thought that they would focus on these two difficult young men in the second half, but in fact, it was Hull City midfielder Coren who was heavily circled by Allardyce.

"He is the source of all Hull City's attacks. Keep a close eye on him and don't give him an easy chance to pass the ball. Do it at all costs!!! Do you hear me, Jack! Nobel! Keep a close eye on him!"

"Listen, I heard you coach!"

"Also, kick the ball forward and shoot. Their formation must be pressing forward. Look for opportunities. Baldock, Carew, you are forwards. Do you need me to teach you how to score goals?!!!" "No need for a coach!"

"Very good, everyone, cheer up! We are West Ham United. Whoever stands in our way, we will smash their heads with a hammer!!!"

"understand!"

Allardyce's tactical arrangements and mobilization, which ended almost with a roar, excited the Hammers players in front of him and made them raise their heads.

Being able to rank third in the league, they are not easy to deal with. Even a clay man has some temper. It would be a shame if they were defeated by the opponent without showing any of their own strength.

The short halftime break was over and the two teams walked out of the player tunnel again. I don’t know if it was an illusion or something, but the Hull City players could always feel a chill when passing by the West Ham United players, and Collen felt the worst.

When West Ham United kicked off the second half, the fans clearly felt the changes in the Hammers. They began to pass pressure forward, contrary to their hesitation in the first half.

"As a famous firefighting coach in England, Allardyce is really good. He used just one halftime break to cheer up the West Ham United team whose morale had hit rock bottom. It's amazing~"

As the game progressed, the pressure that West Ham United brought to Hull City became obvious. Tiger City, who were a little relaxed due to their two-goal lead, could only be suppressed for a while.

It was not until four minutes into the second half that Maguire narrowly intercepted Nolan's pass into the penalty area and regained possession of the ball. After the interception, he subconsciously passed the ball to Collen in the midfield.

"Colen finally got the ball. He turned around and prepared to launch the team's attack. Oh~, Collison and Noble rushed towards him early, and attacked him from both sides, and directly intercepted the ball!"

As a core player, Collen has both ball control and dribbling abilities, but the two followers that Allardyce arranged for him are both top-notch in midfield defense and interception, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Although Collison's subsequent pass to the frontcourt still did not create many good opportunities, it was obvious that Hull City's momentum had stagnated.

In the subsequent games, as Collen got the ball again and again and was harassed by two strong midfielders, Hull City's attack could not be organized.

Qin Hu and his two teammates who were waiting in the frontcourt failed to get the ball for more than ten minutes. The few times the ball was delivered to them were also very uncomfortable, and naturally they failed to convert it into a shot in the end.

On the contrary, on the West Ham United side, Baldock and Carew relied on their excellent experience to constantly roam in and out of the Hull City penalty area and quickly figured out the characteristics of the young defender Maguire - slow turning.

In the 64th minute of the game, Carew received a pass from Noble at the top of the penalty area after he intercepted the ball from Collen. He did not move forward with the ball immediately. Instead, when Paul was about to pounce on him, he pulled the ball to the right and passed it behind Maguire.

"Baldock came from behind and got there first! He started early and although he ran diagonally, he got the ball in front of Maguire and shot directly!"

Gulas never expected that Maguire would be stuck behind him as soon as he turned around, and facing Baldock's shot from a tricky angle, he was obviously powerless to save the ball.

"Goal! The Hammers scored a goal. This goal fully represents the situation of both teams on the field at the moment. West Ham United, who are two points behind, have found their best form!"
