Chapter 320: Die-hard Chairman and Strong Team

Two teams entered, and the captains of both sides picked sides.

On the commentary bench, the big-mouthed Dunphy said: "Manchester United's lineup in this game is basically unchanged from the last game. LIL up front, Marcus Rashford as a single midfielder. Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba partnered in the back two. Defenders: Valencia, Bailly, Phil Jones, Blind. The goalkeeper position is still David De Gea. ”

Fat Bob said: "On the Hudders side, the starting goalkeeper is Losel. On the back line are Loew, Smith, Jorgensen, and Schindler. Double back Marlon and Kachunga. Three attacking midfielders, Van Lapala, Ince, Billing. Solitaire Muniyi. These players are nowhere near as famous as United's superstars. ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy began to talk about off-field gossip: "Well, for the old lieutenant Liu, there are two very important games in other games. According to the Sun grapevine, Liu's daughter will represent St Anfeld's College in Birmingham today in the West Midlands final of the All England Secondary School Olympiad. We all know that the old lieutenant regarded his daughter as his life. This match is no less important to him than the main game of the Premier League! Also, today is World Cup qualifying match day. The Chinese team challenged Qatar away from home. The old lieutenant is known to be a patriot. Although he did not qualify for the Chinese national team, I believe that he will be very concerned about the outcome of this game. ”

Liu Yun is now a superstar in the Premier League. It is reasonable for her daughter Liu Xiaoyan to be concerned by the paparazzi.

Speaking of the matter of the Chinese national team, Fat Bob exclaimed for Liu Yun and said: "I don't understand why the Chinese national team doesn't recruit old lieutenants." Is it just because he is forty-six years old? Oh my God, I've been a football commentator for twenty-five years. In my commentatorial career, I have only seen the old lieutenant and the Manchester City Suns two Chinese players who can play football! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy answered: "The Chinese national team does not recruit old lieutenants into the team, it's really because he is 46 years old!" Their association's new rules this year prohibit the national team from recruiting players over the age of 45. It is clear that this is a turtle belly made for the old lieutenant! In a sense, our old lieutenant is also a restricted-level player! ”

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins!

The Hudders did not blindly defend as underdogs after the opening. On the contrary, they went so far as to organize two beautiful attacks.

In the 3rd minute of the game, defender Kachunga cut off Matic's pass in the backfield. He distributed the ball to his team-mate Ince on the wing. Ince dribbles forward on the wing. Pogba stepped up and Ince decisively crossed the ball to Van Lapala in midfield.

Van Lapala organized an attack after receiving the ball in the midfield, and a straight ball was studied, directly looking for the single striker Muniyi. Muniyi struggled to get the ball when Bailly was close to him. He smashed the ball, dunked Bailly, and kicked off at the edge of the penalty area!

The ball flies straight to the top right corner of the goal. It was a long-range shot of extremely high quality. The power is great, and the angle is tricky. Thankfully, De Gea was in good form and he leaped high to lift the ball off the line.

Corner kick!

Just three minutes into the game, Hudders had a lovely shot and won a corner.

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "It seems that the Huddes team will not be tied up in this game. In just 3 minutes, they gave the giants Manchester United a dismount! ”

Hudders midfielder Van Lapala takes a corner. The ball goes straight to the back post.

Manchester United's back point actually leaked!

Hudders player Billing was ambushed at the back post and grabbed the first point!

Shoot with your feet! It was a powerful boccia ball that went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.

At the critical moment, it is De Gea who has made meritorious service again! A male lion pounced on the female lion and lay directly on the ground and pressed the ball!

De Gea yelled at Blind, "Blind, what did you just do?" How to stare at the back point? ”

Blind, knowing that he was wrong, shrugged his shoulders helplessly at De Gea.

The opening three of the Hudders were far from over.

In the 6th minute, the Hudders team made a comeback.

Their three attacking midfielders, Van Lapala, Ince and Billing, patiently fell to their feet at the edge of the United penalty area. Eventually, there was a hole in United's defence when Ince squeezed Muniyi in the box. Muniyi grabbed the ball before Valencia cleared the ball. A close shot!

Muniyi's shot was denied by Valencia's interference. The ball was released by the monkeys.

This shot shocked the Manchester United players in a cold sweat!

I have to say that Bailly, Blind, and Phil Jones in the Manchester United backline are a bit undermatched. They were a bit absent-minded in the first 6 minutes!

Valencia, as the captain, shouted to the trio: "Pay attention! Focus! ”

Hudders' first two shots gave a crowd of fans hope of a win over giants Manchester United. They shouted from the stands: "Come on, Daddy!" ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy explained: "The fans are shouting: Come on, Daddy. Yorkshire, where the Hudders team is based, is home to petite and adorable Daddy dogs. At the top of the Hudes crest is a golden Daddy. That's why Hudes fans love to call Hudders "Daddy". ”

Fat Bob humorously said, "Yes." With the end of last season, Newcastle United and Seagulls Brighton were promoted to the Premier League. The number of teams in the Premier League marked by birds this season has reached 7! 'Daddy' will join Leicester City as 'Fox' in defending the honour of the beast. Haha"

Hudders played well in the first 10 minutes of the game. It actually suppressed the mighty Manchester United.

In the grandstand box, a British gentleman in a suit and leather shoes watched the game with excitement on his face.

This person is Hoyle, the chairman and largest shareholder of the Hades Club.

This Chairman Hoyle is known as the "die-hard chairman". Hoyle is a native of West York, and since the age of 10, Hoyle has been watching Hudders games with his father. It can be said that Hoyle is a 40-year old fan of the Hudders team.

Hoyle's experience was very inspiring. His father was a cleaner. Hoyle worked in a restaurant after graduating from high school. At the age of 30, he was just a waiter in a restaurant. He later switched to selling greeting cards on the side of the road, eventually founding the famous British greeting card and gift shop "Card Factory". Finally, at the age of 45, he was worth 100 million pounds.

Nine years ago, this grassroots tycoon officially took a stake in the team he loved when he was a teenager. A year later, he became the team's chairman and largest shareholder.

Compared with the billions or tens of billions of wealthy bosses, Hoyle's worth is not high. He put 60 percent of his family fortune into the operation of the Hades team. Under the stewardship of his die-hard chairman, Hudders finally made it to the Championship and eventually to the Premier League.

Hoyle's nervousness on the sidelines in last season's Championship play-off final and his excited expression after winning are enough to show his love for this team.

In the current Premier League, where commercialization is spreading, multinational consortia have landed in England one after another. There aren't many teams controlled by homegrown owners. And the owner is still a fan of his own team, and it is even rarer.

Hoyle and his team are telling the world that football is not just about buying and selling, it's about feelings!

With Hoyle, a die-hard chairman, as an example, the Hudders players also regard the team's glory as their own life. Although Hudders' players are not big stars. However, they take every game seriously and dare to fight on the pitch. That's why they managed to finish 10th in the table.

It's going to be a tough game for Manchester United.
