Big Phil is going to lose
ARE YOU GEO-KING? ... Tigers' confident
Brazilian
The Chelsea boss is looking to pick up his troops after
their 86-match unbeaten home record in the Premier League was
smashed by Liverpool on Sunday. But the Blues must travel to
Humberside to face a Hull outfit who incredibly are level with them
on points.
The Tigers have already beaten the other four London
sides in the Premier League — and a fifth capital scalp will propel
them up to second in the table. Geovanni said: “Scolari is a top
coach and I do not doubt he will be a success at Chelsea, but I
feel sorry for him because we are going to beat his team.
“Chelsea will be next after Arsenal. The Blues have a
tremendous squad but they just lost to Liverpool, which is a blow
for their morale, so let’s take advantage of it.
“Hull’s bright start to the season is not about luck
but rather about hard work. Big clubs should be wary, we are going
to continue to surprise them. “When I arrived at Hull everyone was
asking me how we could possibly stay up. Everyone said we were
clear favourites for relegation.
“The key for us has been our dressing room. The
atmosphere is sensational. We’re all friends. “Anywhere we go, even
when we went to Arsenal at the Emirates, we play with three up
front. But we also have many English players and when we have to
defend we all honour the club’s badge — the Tiger.
“Our squad is the example of how players and their
coach should work hand in hand. The sky is the limit for us and we
target European qualification.”
Playmaker Geovanni, 28, only joined the Tigers in the
summer from Manchester City but has already netted four goals in
seven games. The former Barcelona and Benfica schemer has
constantly been linked with a move back to a more glamorous
club.
But he insisted: “I am very happy with the way Hull
have been treating me since day one. Of course they are not a big
club, but people are great there. “Hull is a lovely city, very
tranquil. People are crazy about the team and support us to death,
both at home and away.”
