Chapter 77 The first sound of heavy artillery

Everton's defense is very stable, especially Zhang Tiehan, who spared no effort. They did not give Zhang Tiehan any chance at all. Zhang Tiehan kept moving forward, but not to mention good opportunities, it was very difficult to connect the ball.

On the contrary, Everton's offense was quite threatening.

Even though Everton has poor performance in the Premier League, their lineup is still very gorgeous. Last season, Everton drew with this lineup with Arsenal in the first half of the league and won the Merseyside derby, ranking fourth in the Premier League before Christmas.

This shows the gorgeousness of Everton's lineup.

The frontcourt Rooney and Razinski are also a big hit in Premier League teams. Rooney is still young and looks a little immature, but his impact in the frontcourt is rarely comparable. In addition, with Razinski's calmness, the two of them frequently create threats.

Finally, in the 37th minute, Everton broke the deadlock after successfully intercepting the ball with a counterattack from the middle line.

Rooney scored the goal.

"Everton took the lead! They were the first to break the deadlock away. The goal was England's genius Wayne Rooney. This Everton young player was just eighteen years old. He is the best of England's new generation of talented players!"

"Rooney! Rooney! Beautiful goal!"

"At the age of 18, he has become a world-class player. In the summer, Manchester United sought to buy this young player for 20 million pounds, but Moyes did not give in. He is right. Such a unique genius is definitely world-class!"

A cheer!

In the media seats on the court, many reporters clenched their fists and cheered excitedly.

Wayne Rooney, a new generation of talented English star, has already caught up with David Beckham in England. He is only eighteen years old, which shows Rooney's prospects, and no one will deny Rooney's future.

The Everton fans who came to Wigan with the team were crazy!

There were only 3,000 Everton fans at the scene, but their shouts spread throughout the stadium. As they cheered, Rooney hugged and celebrated with his teammates.

At the same time, many reporters also shouted in the media seat.

In addition to Wigandi reporters, there are also a few Manchester County reporters. Almost all other reporters who come to interview support Everton. Although Wigan Athletics is at home, Everton is a powerful Premier League team and has some influence throughout England and even Europe. Moreover, they have the young English genius Rooney.

Rooney performed well, and reporters can report it after the game -

"The English genius scorer scored another goal!"

"Wayne Rooney scored twice at JJB Stadium, and he led Everton to sweep Wigan Athletics!"

"After the 'nova' Chelsea' defeat, England's genius scorer Rooney stood up. He scored a hat trick to help Premier League teams maintain their face..."

etc.

As for Wigan Athletics... a small Manchester County team, who cares about so many of them? They don't have Rooney, they only have some players who are hanging out in the low league.

Zhang Tiehan is naturally included.

"Zhang of Wigan Athletics is almost nineteen years old. According to the information, he is more than 180 days older than Rooney. We see that Rooney has made his mark in the Premier League and has joined the England team more than half a year ago, and Zhang is still struggling in the First Division."

"Maybe many people don't know that Zhang also has a good background. He is the result of Manchester United's youth training camp..."

"It's a pity that he performed too poorly at Manchester United and was listed and sold to Wigan Athletics by Manchester United. Although his performance was good before, the sluggishness in recent times has proved that such performance is only temporary."

"Maybe Mr. Ferguson saw this and listed him for sale..."

This is the words from Cedric, a commentator of Sky Sports TV station who is responsible for the live broadcast of the game.

After Rooney scored a goal, Cedric said Everton, Wigan Athletics, Rooney, Zhang Tiehan. The commentators of Sky Sports TV are not neutral. There are few commentators in England who are truly neutral. They are commentators and are also real fans.

Cedric was born in London and is a Chelsea fan.

He and Alfie are colleagues, but the relationship between them is not very good due to work reasons. Alfie once praised Zhang Tiehan. In that game, Zhang Tiehan scored a hat trick, and his opponent happened to be Chelsea.

If the two are combined, it is strange that Cedric can have a good impression of Zhang Tiehan.

Unlike Cedric, other journalists and fans who support Everton have long forgotten Zhang Tiehan. Rooney’s goal is the most important thing, and they gave various praises to Rooney.

How is Zhang Tiehan? They no longer pay attention to it.

In this series of praise and criticism, cheers and downs, the game started over and Everton took the lead, which was not good for Wigan Athletics. Although this is a home game, Wigan Athletics' overall strength is weaker than Everton. Whether it is the player's personal ability or team cooperation ability, Wigan Athletics is at a disadvantage.

Many people think it is difficult for Wigan Athletic to have hope of victory.

Zhang Tiehan doesn't think so. He is working hard to find opportunities in the frontcourt, and he keeps rushing to Everton's defense and put pressure on Everton's defense.

The body is his greatest capital!

Although Everton's defense was very tight, Zhang Tiehan's repeated attacks still put a lot of pressure on them. They had to separate two people to defend, so that their defense against others would be less tight.

Many people think that Zhang Tiehan does not understand team cooperation. In fact, Zhang Tiehan just has some connection with the team in running positions. He has always been a midfielder and then played for a month. The former is the defensive position and the latter is at the front of the team. He rarely has the training opportunities to pass and receive the ball with his teammates to cooperate in the offense, so he rarely does this in the game.

But in fact, Zhang Tiehan's tactical awareness is pretty good. After all, Manchester United's youth training camp is definitely world-class in this area--

At least he knew what he should do on the court.

Zhang Tiehan's continuous forwarding put a lot of pressure on Everton's defense. They distributed people to guard Zhang Tiehan, and the pressure on other Wigan Athletic offensive players was much less.

At the same time, Everton spared no effort to defend in the penalty area, preventing Zhang Tiehan from getting the chance to head the ball.

Anyone who knows some of the football can see the offensive style of Wigan Athletics.

Zhang Tiehan is just a midfielder, but when he was attacking, he stood in the penalty area with Roberts. He inserted very far ahead and was on the same position as Ellington. Other players from Wigan Athletics passed the ball into the penalty area if they had the chance.

It seems simple offensive routine, but it is very threatening to Everton's defense.

Zhang Tiehan, Roberts, and Ellington, three of them messed up Everton's penalty area. Fortunately, their defense was stable and they did not concede the ball in a short time.

The game ended in the 43rd minute, and another Wigan Athletics attack.

Ridell and Macaroc cooperated on the sidelines with two passes and one. They brought the ball to the front of the penalty area. Two players stepped forward to intercept. Other Everton defenders were guarding the penalty area and preparing to stop the opponent from hanging towards the penalty area. Usually, Zhang Tiehan had already inserted and was trying hard to squeeze the position with Everton players in the penalty area.

But this time, when Will and Stabbs were ready, Zhang Tiehan was not seen at all. In the entire Everton penalty area, there was only Neil Roberts, a striker.

No opponent anymore...

Neil Roberts, thirty years old, spent most of his ten-year football career in the English League Two.

Such a forward who will never be taken seriously by Everton stars in his play age, now that he is on a downward trend, how can he be worthy of the full response of several Everton defensive players?

Will and Stabs looked around and still couldn't find Zhang Tiehan.

"Ridale dribbles the ball, let's see that there is only one Wigan Athletic player in the penalty area, where is Zhang?" Cedric asked everyone's thoughts.

Where is Zhang Tiehan?

"Chang raised his hand and asked for the ball!" Mick Williams shouted.

Zhang Tiehan was standing outside the penalty area, and was more than five meters away from the penalty area line. Since Everton's defense line was very far behind, no one defended this position.

"What is he going to do? He wants to pass the ball instead of Ridell?" Cedric was puzzled.

This sentence is a bit contemptuous.

No. 13 Zhang Tiehan passed the ball instead of Riddle... If someone who doesn't understand Wigan Athletics would probably feel that it's nothing when he heard this, but people who know both sides of the game knew that Riddle was the core of Wigan Athletics and the best team's footwork.

Zhang Tiehan?

The difference between the two in passing can be described as the difference between the two stars.

If this is AC Milan, then Ridell is equivalent to a master of art Pirlo, and Zhang Tiehan is equivalent to Gattuso who is "unable to run".

Will the latter really pass the ball...

Cedric said casually, but after he finally realized that he made himself laugh. Some of the fans who watched Sky Sports live broadcast were unknown, but many fans still laughed with Cedric.

However, when Ridell saw Zhang Tiehan asking for the ball, he passed the ball without any hesitation.

Graveson, who was carefully defending Ridell, jumped up as soon as Ridell made his foot. He wanted to prevent Ridell from picking the ball into the penalty area. This was what the opponent had done before.

But when he jumped up, he realized that he had been cheated.

Where is football?

Gravesen turned his head and saw that the football did not fly to the penalty area, but rolled horizontally to the other side.

Ridell really passed the ball to Zhang Tiehan!

"What is he going to do?" Many people asked such questions, but no one answered them. They were all focusing on the game and what was going to happen next.

"Is... Zhang wants to shoot!" A Wigan reporter said in surprise.

Other reporters watched the game without any reaction, but they couldn't help but look down on... In that position, they shot directly? They really wanted to score a goal.

The football was very fast and rolled in front of Zhang Tiehan in a blink of an eye.

Although there was no defense in front of him, Zhang Tiehan had no intention of stopping the ball. His right foot had already raised. Just as the football was about to roll in front of him, his right leg swung over him!

"Touch!" A muffled sound was clearly heard.

The football stopped on the grass like a cannonball, suddenly soared into the sky and flew towards the goal. When passing by an Everton player, the player was so scared that he hugged his head.

The big screen lens stops at this moment!

The football rushed to the right corner of the goal, while Everton goalkeeper Simonson opened his mouth wide, stood on the left side of the goal and spread his hands, his face full of panic.

"Swish!" The football plunged into the goal net.
Chapter completed!
