51 Preparation

"Our team has really become a shelter. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info" Mike Ferran shook his head and smiled wryly when he learned about the large number of new players that were coming.

On August 21, Newcastle, which has won two consecutive victories in the English Championship, officially announced that Serbian center Aleksandar Mitrovic transferred to Hull City in the form of a player exchange, and the exchange of players is Uruguayan striker Abel Hernandez, who has just broken his fast at the free field, and at the same time, four players have been introduced from Hull City: 8 million pounds of local central defender Harry Maguire, 5 million pounds of Egypt international Ahmed Ermuhammadi, £5 million Scotland international Robert Snodgrass and £8 million Adama Diomande.

Including Mohamed Diameh, who was brought in very early, the Magpies have bought almost half of Hull's first team.

Just a few deals with Newcastle, Hull City got up to 30.5 million pounds in transfer income, such a large amount of money, all spent on recruitment, although free agents have no transfer fees, but there are wages, and some loan players also have to pay loan fees and wages.

Hull City officials also announced on this day that in addition to Mitrovic, Diego Alves, Davide Thornton, and Joel Campbell joined on loan, of which Alves and Thornton are both 500,000 pounds on loan, and Hull City will bear the salaries of the two. And Campbell is rent-free, and even the salary is covered by Arsenal.

Due to Alves' arrival, Hull City have loaned Dusan Kuczczak, who is out of play, to Millwall in League One.

Although the transfer deal between Hull City and Newcastle only caused a lot of shock locally compared to the transfer news of the big teams, Hull City fans were extremely excited, because the new players introduced were all world-famous players, and almost ignored the fact that many people were on loan and only played one season in Hull City.

Don't look at the loan of some players is rent-to-buy, after the season, no one knows whether Hull City can buy it out, and few people know that in fact, Niu Shuai's contract is only one season.

What no one knows is that even more amazing things are happening as the summer transfer window is about to close.

……

On August 23, it was the second round of the English League Cup, Hull City's opponent was Exeter City in League Two, the team drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup at the beginning of this year.

Exeter City's home stadium is St James' Park, uh, yes, you read that right, the name is the same name as Newcastle's home stadium, but the capacity of the stadium is not comparable to the Magpies' lair, the largest can only accommodate 8,830 people, less than 9,000 people.

In this game, the coach let Phelan take command and let him live a managerial addiction, but only let him bring a few first-team players and substitutes, Andrew Robson and Curtis Davis, including Zhu Zeming, and the new signings all stayed at the Curtinham training base, on the grounds that they wanted to hone in on the newcomers and prepare for the next game against strong rivals Manchester United.

Despite a number of first-team players, Hull City were able to win 3-1 at home to Exeter City, conceding in the 24th minute of the first half before being equalised by Tom Huddlestone two minutes later. It wasn't until the 80th minute of the second half that Jack Livermore and Sean Maloney scored two goals in quick succession to win the game.

With such a crippled squad winning the first win of his managerial career, Phellan's excitement can be imagined, and Hull City made it to the third round of the League Cup, where they can take a gamble in the Premier League.

"It's been a bad couple of days and maybe it's going to rain heavily on the day of the game." Wearing a raincoat, Darko Milovic looked at the players training in the rain on the field and said to Niu Shuai.

"Heavy rain." Niu Shuai said softly.

"The heavy rains missed in those years

The love that was missed in those years

Once wanted to conquer the world

It wasn't until the end of the day that I looked back and found out

Every bit of the world is yours

The heavy rains that were missed in those years

The love that was missed in those years

I wanted to tell you I hadn't forgotten

The sky was full of stars that night

Conventions in parallel space-time

I will hold you tightly when we meet again

Hold you tightly

……”

Looking at the gloomy sky at a 45-degree angle, the rain was falling tricklingly, Niu Shuai's eyes were intertwined with complicated looks, and a beautiful figure flashed in his mind from time to time.

Sighing slightly, Niu Shuai said: "How is the team's run-in?" ”

The team came to 11 newcomers at once, most of them concentrated in the midfield, so Hull City had to run in the new lineup, fortunately, most of the newcomers have played in the Premier League and adapted quickly, but because there is no systematic training in the summer training, Niu Shuai's training focuses on physical fitness, and the run-in of skills and tactics depends on training matches to polish.

The studious Ferran is very interested in Niu Shuai's tactics, and he will bring pen and paper every time he trains, looking like a good student who studies hard every day, Niu Shuai said that it doesn't matter, everyone's tactical style and tactical theory are different, if his own good play is so easy to be stolen, his Niu Shuai's name will be written upside down, uh, Shuai Niu, this name seems to be good.

……

Football matches are played rain or shine, and the game can only be stopped if the weather is severe enough to endanger personal safety.

On rainy days, the referee can decide to stop the game as long as the ball remains on the grass and the ball does not roll but floats.

In order to adapt to the rainy day, this week's physical training was carried out at the training base, and the tactical training and training match went to Kingston Communication Stadium.

In heavy rain, it is difficult to play the team's own tactics, so the common tactics on rainy days are simple plays, even XJBD.

In the third round of the Premier League, the weekend morning game was the highlight of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at 12:30 noon on Saturday, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides shook hands, Tottenham failed to achieve the first win in the last 7 league games between the two sides, and the three meetings between Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp all ended in draws, without a win.

Then at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Chelsea and Arsenal won by three goals, and defending champions Leicester City also beat Swan Lake at home, and finally won their first win of the season in the third round with Arsenal.

Then, the two-game winning streak of promoted Maher City and the Red Devils, who have also won two in a row and have a lot of momentum in the revival of the giants, are about to start the battle at the Kingston Communications Stadium at half past five in the afternoon.
