Jakirović delighted the English after the new celebration: This no longer looks like a coincidence

Sergej Jakirović's Hull City has started their Premier League season strongly, winning their first two matches. After defeating Manchester United 2:0 at the opening match, they secured another 1:0 victory against Coventry City on Saturday, earning six points without conceding any goals. The win came in the 82nd minute through a quick counterattack by Mohamed Belloumi and Liam Millar. Despite Coventry having more possession and creating more dangerous chances, Hull demonstrated strong defense and discipline. BBC Sport highlighted Jakirović's ability to build a well-organized team filled with fighting spirit, praising defenders like Nobel Mendy, John Egan, and Semi Ajayi, along with goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis, who became the first new Premier League goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in both opening games since David Raya in the 2021/22 season. The Guardian noted that Hull's recent victory might not have been a coincidence, emphasizing their ability to capitalize on opportunities. The Independent described Hull's start as a 'dream start,' noting their ability to win without dominating possession. The Sun recalled former player Joe Cole's harsh prediction that Hull might struggle,

Frank Lampard's Coventry side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Hull City, with the visitors managing more possession but failing to break down the hosts' resilient defense. The result left Lampard frustrated, particularly over his team’s lack of quality and pace in attack. He criticized their slow tempo and admitted they struggled against a backline of five, which made it difficult to create chances. "We didn’t have the quality," he told BBC Sport. "You need to get that through hard work. We played too slowly. It’s tough playing against a defense with five players. When you cross, they’ve got enough players who can clear it," he added. Lampard also pointed to a missed opportunity after a corner, which led to Hull scoring via a counterattack. "You can talk about experience, but everything comes down to moments on the pitch. That goal came after our corner. You have to stop that at any cost. Those details are decisive," he concluded. Hull, under manager Sergei Jakirović, continued its impressive start to the season, securing a 1-0 victory over Coventry. The win brought them to six points from two games, with no goals conceded. The match was a far cry from their previous dominant performance against Manchester United, where they had controlled the game. This time, Hull faced a tougher challenge, with Coventry showing more aggression and control in the first half. However, Jakirović praised his team’s resilience and tactical discipline. "They tried to create more space on our right side. We made some changes at halftime and had several good counterattacks. We needed better decisions," he said. He also acknowledged Coventry’s willingness to take risks, noting that they had been physically challenged and had left space behind their defense. "We used that well," he added. Jakirović emphasized that his squad has shown maturity and composure, qualities that will be crucial in the Premier League. He highlighted the importance of patience and waiting for opportunities, especially in tight matches. "We’re still learning how to adapt to this level. It’s a step up. There’s a mental aspect for the players, and I want that to happen as quickly as possible," he explained. He also praised young player Lucas Gourna-Douath, who had some difficulties during the match but showed promise. "He had some issues in certain moments, but he played well. He’s a good young player, and we can develop him further. This is a great experience for him," Jakirović said. The victory over Coventry marked another successful chapter in Jakirović’s tenure at Hull, following their stunning 2-0 win against Manchester United. The club, which had previously struggled in the Championship, now looks poised for success in the Premier League. Analysts from British media such as The Guardian and The Independent have noted the remarkable turnaround, calling it a "flying start" and highlighting the contrast with expectations before the season began. "It’s not just about individual quality, it’s about how quickly mistakes are punished," wrote The Guardian. "Hull has shown they can compete at this level, even in difficult circumstances." Despite the positive momentum, Jakirović remains cautious. He acknowledges that the Premier League is a demanding environment, and the team must continue improving. "We have plenty of room for growth," he said. "Our progress will come game by game. This is a new experience for us, and for me. We’ll try to fix some things and maybe play even better." His focus remains on ensuring the team stays in the league, a goal that was once considered unlikely given their financial constraints and lack of local support. Meanwhile, the broader context of the Premier League season continues to unfold. Other top teams, including Manchester City and Arsenal, remain in contention for the title, while lower-tier clubs face the challenge of survival. For Hull, the early successes suggest they could become a dark horse in the race for survival, or even promotion. As the season progresses, the true test of their ability to maintain form will be revealed. But for now, the message is clear: Hull City, under Sergei Jakirović, is proving that they belong in the Premier League.

Jakirović opened the Premier League with a great start, and then rebelled because of the departure of an important player

Sergej Jakirović, hrvatski trener kluba Hull City, imao je uspješan početak sezone u Premier ligi, s dvije pobjede u prvih dva kola, uključujući značajan rezultat protiv Manchester Uniteda. Međutim, situacija se promijenila nakon što je 26-godišnji branič Ryan Giles, koji je bio ključan za uspjeh kluba, mogao napustiti klub. Prema informacijama talkSPORT-a, Hull City i Burnley su već dogovorili posudu Gilesa, što bi značilo da će branič otići nakon samo dva kola. Jakirović je jasno izrazio svoju frustraciju nad ovom situacijom, navodeći da mu je takva odluka smiješna. Giles je došao u Hull 2024. godine, najprije na posudbi iz Lutona, a kasnije je transfer trajno realiziran. Tijekom prošle sezone bio je jedan od ključnih igrača u pohodu kluba u Premier ligu.
