Chapter 249 Hull City (12100)

Chapter 249 Hull City (12100)

The bad news for Tottenham is that Bolton, who is at the bottom, also bottomed out and rebounded this round.

They defeated the pretender Phil Brown's Hull City in an away game, and once again surpassed the losing Tottenham to become the second-to-last.

The last-to-last position seems to have magic power. The bottom-to-last teams in the last two rounds have all won.

Bolton and Tottenham also entered a fierce competition in kicking each other to the bottom.

When Duncan saw the news, he thought of Bolton's head coach, Megson, who likes to open his mind.

Perhaps it was the club's support after losing to Manchester City in the last round that gave Megson confidence. In this round of the league, he actually defeated the sixth-placed Hull City.

Hull City, which lost, still ranked sixth.They missed a good chance to overtake.

If they win this round, they can overtake the losing Manchester United and rank fifth.

It's a pity that when Manchester United braked, they also rear-ended.

After the game, in the face of reporters' questions about the loss, Phil Brown still said seriously: "Because my players have already put their energy into the next round of the league against Manchester City. After all, that game is the championship. The contest with the championship, so our players ignored Bolton, a small club, which led to the loss."

Phil Brown said it seriously, not like a joke.

The reporters only felt that they had suffered internal injuries and could vomit blood when they opened their mouths.

Is Bolton a small club?

No matter how young you are, you have been in the top league for many years, okay?No matter how small it is, it's bigger than you, Hull City, which has only rushed to the top league for the first time in a century, right?

Of course, there are still questions from reporters.

"A duel between champions and champions?" Some reporters wondered.

"Last year's English Champions League champion, and last year's English Premier League champion." Phil Brown stretched out a finger and said solemnly: "The next round of competition will be a contest between last year's two league champions. The level is very high. Gao, you must not miss it."

The reporters vomited blood again.

You guy, do you take yourself too much as a root vegetable?

The champion of the British Championship is a little dust compared to the champion of the Premier League, right?

All the reporters complained in their stomachs.

"As far as I know, the English Championship seems to be a league lower than the Premier League, right? The level is much lower, and the difficulty is much lower." A real reporter said.

"Is the difficulty very low?" Phil Brown said with a strange expression, "Is it possible for a team to defend the Premier League title?"

The reporter who asked the question didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he nodded.

Defending the Premier League is difficult, but Ferguson has done it six times.

"But no team has ever defended the British Championship." Phil Brown spread his hands: "Does this mean that the British Championship is more difficult?"

Seckill, absolute seckill.

The reporters already felt that their blood tanks were all drained by Phil Brown today.

……

"This Phil Brown is quite interesting." Duncan looked at the newspaper, a little amused.

However, being able to bring a newly promoted horse to the sixth position in the league, whether it is Phil Brown or this team, cannot be underestimated.

The game against Hull City was intense.

Even a little tragic.

Hull City's tactics are typical English style of play.

Hull City, a team that has been hanging out at the bottom all year round, is promoted to the top at the first glance, and there is a kind of momentum that is not afraid of tigers when newborn calves are born.

Or reckless.

The defense is rough, mainly based on high speed and physical confrontation.

Offensive long pass, fast wing, coupled with high center forward header bombing.

This traditional English tactic seems to have a strong vitality at any time. No matter what the wind blows in the Premier League, whether it is Latin style, anti-reflux, or full-court pressing, the long-passing tactics of the Premier League, There always seems to be a market.

You can say that this tactic has no technical content, that is, the goalkeeper kicks his feet, the high center forward grabs the spot, and then the speed player grabs the second spot and shoots. It is simple and rude.

But he just works.

In other words, this kind of long pass tactic is a simple tactic that condenses the wisdom of the older generation of English footballers...

Well, it's that they're simple-minded and brawny.

Some teams that are good at possession of the ball, such as Arsenal, will be restrained by this style of play if they do not perform well.

The enchanting part of this style of play is that you know his style of play and its process, but sometimes a negligence can still easily be defeated by such an old routine.

The configuration required for this style of play is also very simple, high center forward, fast winger or winger.

So now this style of play is still common in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

In this tactic, players who are tall and good at heading will gain high tactical value.

This is why Moyes always licks his face and asks Duncan to buy Fellaini.

Fellaini's header bombing, in a weak team, is definitely at the level of nuclear weapons!

Manchester City's opponent in this game, Hull City, used such a tactic.

Phil Brown's self-confidence is supported by such crude tactics.

But such an unreasonable tactic is equally effective.

In this game, Duncan replaced the traditional British central defender Richards to replace the somewhat thin Joel Luka.

Manchester City suffered damage from the very beginning.

"Desperate Saburo" Heinze collided with the opponent hard when they were grabbing a ball.

The team doctor Manu Ginobili checked and identified a contracture injury of the lateral adductor muscle, which needs to be sent to the hospital for further examination.

Duncan could only be forced to make a substitution, and Sun Jihai came off the bench.

Then Sun Jihai became the target of Hull City's concentrated strategy.

Perhaps because of his thin body, Hull City took this point as a breakthrough point. In the end, Hull City's high center forward made the header and the right midfielder scored a goal.

The ball was very unreasonable. Only the goalkeeper, the center forward, and the right midfielder touched the ball, and they scored the ball.

Simple and brutal!

No matter what tactics.

After taking the lead, Manchester City aggressively besieged, while Hull City shrank into the penalty area.

Although Duncan's four-element formation and two-dragon out-of-water formation were blessed, all 11 opponents were in the penalty area and set up a bus.

Being able to sit in the sixth round of the league with this bus, the Hull City bus is still somewhat capable.

Perhaps it was a bit of luck, Shevchenko and David Silva's shots were rejected by the crossbar and goal post, and there were a total of 4 strikes in the game.

It was not until the end of the game that Fellaini, who came off the bench, scored a goal with a corner kick.

Manchester City drew 1:1 with Hull City.

Won the third draw of the season.

In other games played at the same time, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all defeated their opponents and scored three points, narrowing the point gap with Manchester City.

After this round of competition, Manchester City, who had played one game less, led by only 1 point. Liverpool and Chelsea had the same points, and Manchester United was 6 points behind Manchester City.

Arsenal lost again this round and have been 10 points behind by Manchester City.
