Boxing Day.

A holiday in the Commonwealth countries, which refers to the day after Christmas. It is a holiday in the UK.

It is a tradition to hold Premier League games on Boxing Day.

Everton's Boxing Day opponent this year is Bolton Wanderers.

Bolton are currently ranked 14th in the Premier League. They are a team that has no pressure to avoid relegation, but has no ability to climb up. This kind of team with no desires and desires is sometimes the most dangerous.

Head coach Gary Megson was sad when he saw Everton, because Chelsea actually approached Bolton before renting Tang Zhenglong to Everton, but Gary Megson flatly refused.

The reason is also very simple, because the team has no shortage of people on the front line.

The two main forwards, one is the French bad boy Anelka, and the other is the Senegal forward Diouf, are both very efficient forwards, so Gary Megson refused to rent Tang Zhenglong.

Now it seems that Gary Megson wanted to slap himself, and he was stupid.

But this kind of thing will be rotten in the stomach no matter what, and Gary Megson also wants to lead the team to defeat Everton to prove that Everton is nothing more than that.

Bolton's biggest star is undoubtedly Frenchman Anelka.

The French bad boy belongs to the type who hangs out among wealthy families.

He has joined Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Liverpool.

If it weren't for his bad temper and a vampire agent, the Frenchman would never come to Bolton to play football.

But gold always shines. At Bolton, Anelka once again became a goal machine, and it is said that Chelsea has been eyeing him.

Arriving at Goodison Park, Anelka really didn't control his words. He teased Tang Zhenglong as a player who relies on luck to play football.

"Sometimes as a striker you feel the wind is smooth, and then you will score a lot of goals, and that's okay."

"Many forwards will be popular for a few months, and then there will be no place for them in football. I think sometimes the media makes too much fuss."

Anelka made fun of Tang Zhenglong, and by the way, Everton also mocked him.

In fact, Anelka's attitude also represents the mentality of many Bolton players. Last season, we were still at a similar level. Why are you superior to others now?

Bolton players are just unhappy.

In the player tunnel, there was basically no communication between the two sides. Everton ignored their opponents, as did Bolton.

Anelka glanced at Tang Zhenglong, this was the player who made him the most angry.

"Tang, do you want to compete with me in scoring? We will compete against each other in this game. You can do whatever you want."

Tang Zhenglong turned his head and glanced at Anelka, then shook his finger.

"We are not players at the same level. I am a shooter at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney. You..."

As he spoke, Tang Zhenglong patted Yakubu beside him.

"I suggest you compete with him if you want to compete."

Anelka was dumbfounded.

Yakubu!!

A guy who can't score five goals in half a season, you compare me with him? This is humiliating.

"OK."

Anelka glanced at Yakubu and said, "Have you ever joined Real Madrid?"

Before Yakubu could answer, Tang Zhenglong said with a smile: "Does joining Real Madrid mean anything? Besides, I remember you only stayed at Real Madrid for one year."

Anelka showed a smirk on his lips.

"Wait until you are able to join Real Madrid before you say this to me again."

Tang Zhenglong patted Yakubu and said, "I tell you, you have to play football well and don't be like some people. From Real Madrid to Bolton, the gap is too big, it's like a free fall."

puff!

Anelka was furious, and the disdain on Tang Zhenglong's face made him extremely unhappy.

Game start.

Bolton's strength is still very good, especially the combined offensive ability of Anelka and Diouf is guaranteed.

In the second game of the Christmas schedule, neither side was in the best condition, and the game was very stalemate.

The first half ended 0-0.

In the 70th minute of the second half, it was 0-0.

At 85 minutes, it was still 0-0.

Everton fans can understand their team. The team just played a shocking 4-3 reversal at Old Trafford two days ago. The players are not tough and will definitely be tired.

Fans sang songs to encourage their teams.

On the other hand, Manchester United already leads Sunderland 4-0 away from home.

Moyes was a little anxious. Of course a draw was acceptable, but Manchester United was chasing too closely.

If Everton draws, the original 4-point advantage in the standings will turn into 2 points in an instant.

In the 88th minute of the game, something unexpected happened. Bolton scored first.

Anelka received a cross from his teammate from the wing and headed the ball into the goal.

1 to 0.

"Damn it, I didn't expect not to get a single point."

After scoring the goal, Anelka was very arrogant. He made a "shut up" gesture to the home fans, which completely angered the Everton fans.

Neville and Jagielka rushed forward and asked Anelka to stop provoking.

"Hey, why are you provoking our fans? Show some respect."

Anelka smiled contemptuously.

"Respect? I only respect the strong. The weak are not entitled to respect."

"grass."

This is the first time Everton players have been so popular this season. Can't they just score a goal and call themselves strong?

Anelka bypassed the Everton players and came straight to Tang Zhenglong.

"I'll take the three points, Lu Snake."

Tang Zhenglong smiled and said: "Are you mentally retarded? A football match lasts for 90 minutes, and it's only 88 minutes now. Is the game over?"

Anelka was dumbfounded.

This guy still dares to call himself a fool. I want to see who is the fool later.

"It seems that you are really only good at your mouth, haha."

The game continued, and soon the 90th minute was reached. The fourth official held up a sign and called for 2 minutes of stoppage time. There was not much time left for Everton.

At this moment, Everton received a free kick in the frontcourt.

Tang Zhenglong could not take the free kick 30 meters away from the goal, because even if the ball path was corrected, the shooting power was not enough.

Tang Zhenglong's idea is to push the free kick a little further, that would be great.

Just when the Bolton players thought Arteta was going to shoot, he suddenly pushed the ball to Tang Zhenglong in front of the penalty area.

Tang Zhenglong took the ball with his back and immediately made a realistic dive.

The referee took a look and gave a free kick in front of the penalty area.

"I didn't touch him."

"Yes, you touched me."

Bolton defender Ivan Campo himself was confused by Tang Zhenglong's realistic acting.

"Is it possible that I really met him?"

Tang Zhenglong held the ball in his arms, and the free kick at this distance could be corrected with the ball path.
Chapter completed!
