Hull City's pre-match press conference was held at the Curttingham training base the day before the game, and the opening game was a shock win over the defending champions, and the mysterious origin and excellent coaching ability of manager Niu Shuai became a source of gossip for British journalists. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So there were a lot of reporters from big newspapers and tabloids that day, although most of the reporters were small reporters, and there were few names.

The core question is that after signing 5 free agents, the well-staffed Tiger City will send the starters of the last game or rotate some players away from home.

You guess.

The reporters didn't dig up any valuable news at this press conference, and the whole process, Niu Shuai, who was paralyzed, played a Chinese specialty Tai Chi, which stunned these reporters, and even Bruce White of the Hull Daily Mail, a local newspaper that has always supported the local team, could not get the starting list for Hull City's next game with his internal connections.

Is this list important?

Of course, it's very important, I didn't see the opponent Swansea old coach Francisco Guidolin thinking about this for nothing.

And reporters want to dig up news and break the news through the first list, don't newspapers rely on these to attract attention? Hull City Huaxia coach Niu Shuai has a lot of material worth digging, but he can't dig anything except the results of his coaching certificate.

Well, let's dig up Zhu Zeming, a Chinese player who made a big mistake in the game and gave away a penalty because of cronyism, and as a result, apart from his status as an international student at Hull University and a member of the varsity football team, there is nothing to be expected.

This is still because they don't know that Zhu Zeming came to Hull City because of the goddess he has a crush on, otherwise he would be hyped up by unscrupulous reporters as a classic tragedy of Juliet and Romeo.

Although he made a mistake in the first game and gave away a penalty, in the eyes of professionals, Zhu Zeming's performance in this game is very positive.

Although it can be seen that the contact with football has not been for a long time, and it basically relies on excellent body and prediction ability, but to be able to clean up Leicester City's two aces, even if their form in this game is not good, it is a great achievement.

Especially in the game, if a few long passes equipped with navigation, if the two black winds had poor ability to eat cakes, Hull City would have won the game a long time ago, and they would not have been so passive in the second half.

Zhu Zeming still has his studies, so he takes the way of training, going back and forth between the school and the team's training base, but he knows that he is a football rookie and needs a lot of training to progress faster, so he often trains until late, and avoids some troubles.

Sitting on the team bus to Swansea at the moment, Zhu Zeming couldn't help but wonder if the goddess came with him, whether he had an umbrella in this rainy weather, and whether he had worn more clothes to prevent colds......

Mike Ferran and Darko Milovic sat together, he wanted this good friend of the bull to test the starting list of the game, Milovic coquettishly arranged his hair, said: "I don't know, if you want to know, ask him." ”

The corners of Phelan's mouth twitched slightly, do I dare to ask? The fate of offending the boss is not something that an old man like me can bear.

The players on the bus are all in the team's 18-man squad, but Niu Shuai has not announced to them who will start, so many people are guessing in their hearts.

The 18-man squad for Hull City is as follows:

Goalie:

No. 12 Dushan Kudschak

No. 16 Erdin Yakupovich

Fullback:

No. 3 Andrew Robertson

No. 5 Zhu Zeming

No. 6 Curtis Davis

Midfielder:

No. 8 Tom Huddlestone

No. 10 Robert Snograss

No. 13 Muhammad Sissoko

No. 14 Jack Livermore

No. 17 Bastian Schweinsteiger

No. 19 Abel Tarabut

No. 23 Mathieu Flamini

No. 25 Michael Essien

No. 27 Ahmed Ermuhamadi

Striker:

No. 9 Abel Hernandez

No. 18 Robson Kanu

No. 20 Adama Diomand

No. 33 Robin van Persie

The 5 new players are impressively listed, Phelan intuitively feels that there are at least a few newcomers in the starting list, after all, the striker position, the Dutchman who has won the Premier League Golden Boot for two times must occupy one, and the Welsh striker who shines in the European Cup may also occupy a position.

Although their fame and strength are not comparable to Diomande and Hernandez, after all, they are new to the team and lack tacit understanding, so it may not be good to rush into the game.

It's a pity that I don't know what the boss thinks in his heart, maybe I'll know when I get to the locker room.

In the drizzle, the Hull City bus arrived at the Liberty Stadium and, led by the coaching staff, the players went to the dressing room to change into training clothes and then went to the pitch to acclimatise.

In the Hull City locker room, Milovic looked at Niu Shuai in surprise: "Are you sure you do this?" ”

Niu Shuai nodded and said lightly: "The Premier League's away games have always been difficult to play, especially between the middle and lower teams, in order to get relegation points in advance, they will seize every opportunity to get points at home." You know I've always been strategically contemptuous of the enemy, but tactically I need to pay attention to the enemy......"

"Boss, you're a genius."

"It's not what I said, it's what the old man Taizu of my country said."

"Well, that's pretty good, too."

Niu Shuai glanced at him, and said angrily: "Put away your sycophancy, you are in your thirties, and you are not in shape yet." How was your training during this time, and how many minutes were you able to hold on? ”

Milovic restrained his smile and said solemnly: "To integrate the newcomers, these people are a bit old and injured, and it is more troublesome to deal with, if you want to arrange them to play, it will be 15 minutes at most." ”

"It's less than the last one, it's okay, this time it's an away game, 15 minutes is enough. Just improve it by the end of next week. ”

Milovic sighed slightly: "It's still not enough time, boss, you deal with most of the original people, and it will take a long time to start over." ”

"After next week, it's a two-week international break, and I'm going to keep most of the players and give me two weeks to practice and try to get to an hour of high-intensity running by the end of December."

Niu Shuai frowned slightly, and then said undoubtedly.

Milovic nodded, what the boss decides, as a good friend, will naturally go all out.

After Phelan and the others returned to the locker room, Niu Shuai announced the names of the players who started the game, and for a while, except for Niu Shuai and Milovic, everyone was stunned.

Hull City starters:

Goalkeeper: No. 16 Erdin Jakupovic

Midfielders: No. 3 Andrew Robertson, No. 13 Mohamed Sissoko, No. 17 Bastian Schweinsteiger, No. 23 Mathieu Flamini, No. 27 Ahmed Ermuhamadi
