  "account": "Hull City began their Premier League campaign with a perfect start, winning both of their opening two matches. Ollie McBurnie, a Scotland international striker, said the team's performance was not a bad start despite being labeled as the worst team in Premier League history. The Tigers secured a 1-0 victory against Coventry City, with Liam Millar scoring the winning goal in the 82nd minute. This win marked the first time since 2017 that a promoted side had won their opening two games in the Premier League. Hull's manager, Sergej Jakirovic, aimed for the team to avoid relegation, with a goal of finishing ninth in the table. Despite Coventry's strong season the previous year, finishing as champions, they struggled to find inspiration during their first two Premier League games, resulting in a 0-0 draw against Hull. The team's lack of confidence and the pressure to perform well may have hindered their performance.",
