Chapter 132 A new starting point
On August 16, Leicester City ushered in their first Premier League match.
The King Power Stadium was already packed with seats, and countless fans cheered as if it was a festival.
Their team can finally compete on the Premier League stage.
Think about it, it's like being an ally.
In the stands, an older fan criticized the young people around him.
"Tommy, please stay calm and don't get so excited."
"Grandpa, their team can finally play in the Premier League. Isn't he excited?"
"In the future, they can play in the Premier League every week, and they can play in the Europa League. They will definitely play in the Champions League in the future."
"Haha, I feel happy just thinking about it!"
The fans cheered and the Leicester City players were also very excited.
In the locker room, everyone was chatting and gearing up in anticipation of tomorrow's game.
Drinkwater patted his chest and told everyone: "They won that game! Their first win in the Premier League is guaranteed!"
James next to him asked: "Why?"
"I'm stupid!" De Laet glanced at James, "They just beat them in a friendly match a while ago. Of course they won that game."
Drinkwater laughed loudly: "That's right! It's just a defeat in Leg East, no problem!"
Morgan frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Schmeichel, the vice-captain next to him, stopped him and whispered.
"Let everyone be excited and excited. Confidence is more important than anything else in the first game of the Premier League."
Morgan nodded: "They can definitely win the East Leg."
"Did you hear that? The captain has spoken, hahahaha! We must win, we must win!" Drinkwater looked at several offensive players, "They are responsible for defense, we are responsible for scoring goals, and try to score more of them."
Vardy: "No problem!"
Mahrez answered him with an arrogant look.
Xia Xing didn't shut up.
"xia?xia?"
"Um?"
"What am I thinking?"
"Oh, it's okay. It's my first time playing in the Premier League, so I'm a little distracted."
"Haha, I'm distracted right now. Just don't be distracted during the competition."
Xia Xing smiled and waved his fist, expressing his confidence in winning the game.
In fact, he was not distracted just now, but the system suddenly sent a notification sound.
【You have a new task, please check it!】
[Task 11: 1. Defeat Everton in the first game of the Premier League; 2. There are goals or assists in this game. 】
[Task time: before the end of this game.]
[Task Reward: Andy Vandermede Card, Grade A.]
A temporary mission, A-level.
A-level Andy van der Meyde is a famous talented star in the Netherlands, but due to injuries, he was unable to fulfill his talent.
He debuted at the core price, can he be a world-famous supernova during the Ajax period? In the 2002-03 season, Ajax reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Van der Meyde's star power was comparable to Van der Vaart, and surpassed his teammate Swaider.
A star player. That summer, he chose to join Inter Milan and made the worst decision of his career. In the black hole of star players, he completely lost his form on the bench and chose to join Everton. But it was not because of that.
Due to injuries, he only played 20 league games in four seasons with Everton, before retiring dimly at the age of 31.
Even so, he still left a deep impression on countless fans. It is a pity that he was not given that A-level positioning.
Before he was about to miss Everton's Premier League game, the system sent a task to the former Everton star, which was just right.
And the task is not difficult, win the game, score goals and assists.
It's not easy either.
I want to know if the wrong leg can help Everton.
As fifth in the league this season, Everton is quite strong.
After Moyes was poached by Manchester United, many fans predicted that Everton would sink.
But unexpectedly, new coach Roberto Martinez saved the team.
In just one season as the Everton coach, the team's profit reached a record 28.2 million pounds, and its turnover also increased to 125 million pounds, an increase of 39% over the previous season. The club's brand has been improved.
raised dramatically.
The biggest reason for this economic benefit is, of course, the excellent results.
Under the leadership of Martin Weiss, Everton had an impressive record during the season, breaking many of the club's long-standing historical records, and previously ranked fifth in the Premier League. This allowed the club to directly share 86 million pounds in television broadcasts, and other
Related advertising revenue has also surged significantly.
That season, they continued to recruit players, spending 35 million euros to buy Dukaku Kaku, keeping the veteran midfielder Barry on loan from Manchester City for 0 transfer fee, signing the East Cameroon veteran Eto'o freely, and paying 4.8 million euros to buy the attacker from the east wing.
Besic, and young striker Atsu was loaned from Chelsea...
A wave of very targeted transfer operations shows that Everton has great ambitions for the new season.
They not only look forward to good results in the Premier League, but also hope to make a breakthrough in the Europa League.
In the live broadcast room, the commentator was carefully introducing Everton's starting lineup.
“In that game, Martin Weiss still continued his passionate attacking style.
"The 4-3-3 lineup,
"Goalkeeper Howard,
"The back four of Baynes, Distin, Jagielka and Stones,
"The midfield three of Pienaar, Barry and McCarthy,
"The front three is Naismith, Lukaku and McGeady.
“The bench is full of players like Miralas, Eto’o, Kemano, Besic, Atsu and other players.
"Since Martin Weiss took over the team this season,
“Everton just played a wonderful wave of attacking football.
“I have never failed to compete with many wealthy families.
"Especially if it can beat the giant Manchester United coached by the former coach.
"Let alone let Martin Weiss achieve the illusion of being worshiped by fans.
"Although they were in average form in the friendly matches before the start of the season, they have now adjusted.
"Especially with the return of Lukaku, Everton's offensive power has increased dramatically.
“I believe they will be able to perform as well as they did during the season in that game.
"Compared to Everton tomorrow, Leicester City's lineup will look much plainer.
"Is it still the 4-4-2 formation used in the Championship this season?
"Goalkeeper Schmeichel,
"Four defenders from left to right: De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson,
"The four midfielders are from left to right, Cambiaso, Drinkwater, Mahrez,
"The two forwards are Vardy and Ulloa.
"On the bench are Albrighton, James, Conoket, Schlupp, Hammond and other players.
“The introduction of Ulloa for 7.5 million was Leicester City’s biggest move that summer, and the subsequent additional costs were just over 10 million.
“And he is just a forward at the Championship level.
"Euro 2.5 million right-back Simpson has entered the starting lineup.
"Is Leicester City really in a pinch?
"If they could draw Everton at home in that game, it would be the biggest success..."
