Chapter 18 Everton
On the last day before the summer transfer window closed, Manchester United officially announced the transfer of England's talent Rooney, with a transfer fee of 2,600,000 pounds.
This news was like a bomb dropped in European football, and everyone was shocked by the news and couldn't speak.
You know, although Rooney performed well, he was only over 18 years old. Many stars were still sipping in the youth training camp at this age, and Rooney was worth 2,600 pounds. What a crazy world!
According to the exchange rate of pound and euro, the transfer fee exceeds 4,000 euros, and it can rank in the top ten in the world football transfer fee ranking!
Just as this news was fermenting throughout European football, Manchester United's official website also announced that Manchester United's U18-echelon member Jamie Valdy joined Everton on loan for two seasons.
Vardy knew very well that he was just an unknown person in England, and no one cared about where a player in the youth training echelon went. This was also great. Although he had always wanted to become a big star, he was not prepared for this.
The loan contract actually has nothing to do with him. It was signed by Manchester United and Everton. During Everton's playing time, Vardy's salary will be paid by Everton.
In fact, Vardy was surprised to be on loan to Everton. Although he didn't care which club he played for, even in the Championship, he was willing to accept it, but he never expected that he would be loaned to Everton by Manchester United.
Although Moyes's team was barely relegated last season, Vardy, who has memories of his past life, knew very well that Everton this season was really shattered. At the end of the season, Everton actually surpassed his arch rival Liverpool and ranked fourth in the Premier League, and qualified for the Champions League qualifier!
Can I have more requirements for such an Everton?
Farewell to U18's coach and teammates, farewell to Langley, farewell to Smiths and Vardy embarked on a new journey.
......
Thanks to negotiators from Manchester United club, Vardy moved into the house Everton rented for him near the club's training base, and the focus was on free, which saved Vardy at least £500 a month.
Of course, this cannot be a luxury house, it is just a bungalow with a small courtyard. Fortunately, the surrounding environment is good and it is very suitable for living.
It is about 2 kilometers away from Baylorfield Training Base. Vardy can train on bicycles in the morning, which is low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
While lying in bed at night, Vardy fell asleep unintentionally and recalled many memories of Everton in his previous life.
He did overlook some things before. You should know that Li Gang, the outstanding representative of Chinese studying abroad in his previous life, was playing for Everton.
In addition, teammates also have several familiar players, such as Australian star Tim Cahill, who was the one who later played for the Shanghai Stock Exchange team. He liked to use boxing to deal with corner flagpoles after scoring;
There is also the bald man Gravesen who later played for Real Madrid and was used as an engineer. This guy looked fierce. If he didn't play professional football, he would probably be a pirate.
Of course, the most familiar one is Everton coach Moyes. This guy later made an infiltrated Manchester United, but he was dismissed after a bad season.
In any case, Everton is definitely the big dark horse in the Premier League this season. If you can't do it well, you can still ride this ride!
However, at the beginning of this season, Everton's performance was not good. He was beaten to the powerful Arsenal at home in the first round!
Fortunately, in the second round of the league that ended yesterday, he defeated Crystal Palace away, stopped the decline, and did not struggle in the relegation zone from the beginning.
So, I don’t know when I will be able to play?
Vardy has already learned that Moyes currently prefers to play 442 lineup, with two forwards in front, unless he will remove a forward and add a defender against the super giant Moyes, and most of the rest are two forwards.
Now there are five forwards in Everton. In the first two rounds of the league, veterans Duncan Ferguson and Marcus Bente took the starting position, while McFadden and Kevin Campbell sat on the bench. As for young player Chadwick, they did not even enter the roster.
Among these five forwards, Duncan Ferguson and Kevin Campbell are high center types, and they will play a bridgehead tactic role in Moyes' tactics. Moyes does not rely on their scoring ability, so Duncan Ferguson's starting position is very reliable, but the veteran is 33 years old this year and it is difficult to guarantee its condition;
Marcus Bent is an all-round striker with speed, breakthroughs and ability to grab points. However, although his abilities in all aspects are balanced, he has not reached a very high level, otherwise he would not have been wasted in Everton.
As for McFadden and Chadwick, they are Vardy, who are speed strikers and do not have more experience in playing games than Vardy.
In fact, what Valdy didn't know was that Moyes, who had chosen him to join, had placed his appearance order before these two young players.
The next morning, he rode his bicycle to the training ground. On the way, luxury cars drove past him. Valdy knew that the people driving these luxury cars should be his teammates in Everton.
Well, riding a bicycle is not a big deal. Maybe you can find a teammate to pick me up and drop me off every day. When I have money to buy a car, I won’t have to worry about it.
As for the driver's license, Valdy had signed up on the first day of his 17-year-old age, and now he has obtained the driver's license.
When he arrived at the club, Vardy did not encounter the embarrassment of being turned away by the guard not knowing the newcomer, because there were assistant coaches waiting here and he took Vardy all the way to Moyes' office.
This was the first time Vardy saw Moyes. She might be a little curious, but in her previous life, she looked at this old face so many times that Vardy was about to vomit.
"Welcome to Everton, boy, I know you're great, and I hope your first professional season will leave you with great memories, just like Rooney!"
I don’t know if it was because of defeating Crystal Palace that Moyes was in a good mood. He chatted with Vardy very kindly, and also mentioned Rooney, who he was reluctant to mention.
"I hope so too, sir!" Vardy looked very well-behaved. He didn't want Moyes to be very ostentatious in his first impression.
Moyes smiled and nodded, and said, "Maybe you won't appear soon, but you also have to train carefully. The opportunity will always be left to those who are prepared. I think you should understand this!"
Chapter completed!
