Chapter 18: Everton

On the last day before the summer transfer window closes, Manchester United have officially announced the transfer of England talent Wayne Rooney for a fee of £2,600w. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The news was like dropping an atomic bomb in European football, and everyone was speechless with the shock.

You know, although Rooney performed well, he is only over 18 years old, and many stars are still nursing in the academy at this age, and Rooney is already worth 2600w pounds, what a crazy world!

According to the exchange rate of the British pound and the euro, this transfer fee is more than 4000w euros, which can be in the top 10 in the world football transfer fee rankings!

Just when this news was fermenting in the whole European football world, Manchester United's official website also announced the news that Jamie Vardy, a member of Manchester United's Under-18 team, joined Everton on loan for two seasons.

Jamie Vardy is well aware that he is a nobody in England and that no one cares where an Academy player goes, which is also good, and although he has always wanted to be a big star, he is not ready for it.

The loan contract, which doesn't actually have much to do with him, was signed between Manchester United and Everton, and Vardy's salary will be paid by Everton during his time at Everton.

Vardy actually had a surprise on loan at Everton, although he didn't care which club he played for, even if it was the Championship, he was just as happy, but he never imagined that he would be loaned to Everton by Manchester United.

Although Moyes's team was relegated last season, Vardy, who has memories of his previous life, knows very well that Everton this season is really a shattered glass, and at the end of the season, Everton actually surpassed the city rival Liverpool to rank fourth in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League qualification!

Can you ask for more from such an Everton team?

After saying goodbye to his Under-18 coaches and team-mates, to Langley and to the Smiths, Vardy embarked on a new journey.

......

Thanks to Manchester United's negotiators, Vardy moved into a house that Everton had rented for him near the club's training base, and the emphasis was on free, saving him at least £500 a month.

Of course, this can't be a mansion, just a bungalow with a small courtyard, but fortunately, the surrounding environment is good and very suitable for living.

About 2 kilometres away from the Bellefeld training base, Vardy can train on his bike in the morning, which is low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

As he lay in bed at night, Vardy fell asleep and recalled many memories of Everton from his past life.

It was true that he ignored some things before, you know, Li Gang, an excellent representative of Huaxia in his previous life, was playing for Everton.

In addition, there are several well-known players in his teammates, such as Australian star Tim Cahill, who later played for the Shanghai team, and likes to use boxing against corner flagsticks after scoring goals;

There is also Gravison, the bald guy who later played for Real Madrid and was used as a sapper, this guy has a fierce face, and if he hadn't played professional football, he would probably have been a pirate.

Of course, there is no one more familiar than Everton manager David Moyes, who later infiltrated Manchester United, but after a bad season, he was disgraced.

Anyway, now this Everton is definitely the big dark horse in the Premier League this season, and I can't get on this ride!

However, at the beginning of the season, Everton's results were not good, and they were beaten out in the first round at home against the powerful Arsenal!

Fortunately, in the second round of the league that ended yesterday, they won away at Crystal Palace to stop the decline and did not struggle in the relegation zone at the beginning.

So, don't know when you'll be able to play?

Vardy has already done that Moyes currently prefers to play in a 442 line-up, with two striker positions in front, unless Moyes will remove a striker and add a defender against the supergiants, the rest of the time is two strikers.

Everton now have five strikers in their squad, with veterans Duncan Ferguson and Marcus Bent in the first two league games in the starting line-up, while McFadden and Kevin Campbell are on the bench, while youngster Chadwick is not even in the squad.

Among these five forwards, Duncan Ferguson and Kevin Campbell are high school forwards, and they will play a bridgehead tactical role in Moyes's tactics, Moyes does not rely on their scoring ability, so Duncan Ferguson's starting position is very solid, but the veteran is 33 years old this year, and his condition is difficult to guarantee;

Marcus Bent is an all-round striker, with speed, breakthrough and ability to grab points, but although he is balanced in all aspects, he has not reached a very high level, otherwise he would not have stayed at Everton.

As for McFadden and Chadwick, the two are the same as Vardy, who are speedy forwards and don't have more game experience than Vardy.

What Vardy didn't really know was that David Moyes, who had handpicked him, had already put his playing order ahead of the two youngsters.

The next morning he pedaled his bike to the training ground, and as he drove past him, Vardy knew it was his team-mates at Everton who were driving them.

Well, it's not a matter of riding a bicycle all the time, maybe you can find a teammate to pick you up every day, and when you have the money to buy a car, you don't have to worry so much.

As for the driver's license, on the first day of turning 17, Vardy had already signed up, and now the driver's license has long been in hand.

When he arrived at the club, Vardy did not suffer the embarrassment of being turned away by the goalkeeper who did not know the newcomer, because the assistant coach was already waiting here and took Vardy all the way to Moyes's office.

This is the first time Vardy has seen Moyes, and he may be a little curious, but in his previous life, he looked at this old face so many times that Vardy was about to throw up.

"Welcome to Everton, lad, I know you're great and I hope your first professional season will leave you with great memories, just like Wayne Rooney!"

I don't know if it was because the victory over Crystal Palace made Moyes feel good, chatted with Vardy very kindly, and also mentioned Rooney, whom he didn't want to mention.

"I hope so, sir!" Vardy is very well-behaved, and he doesn't want Moyes' first impression to be flamboyant.

Moyes smiled and nodded, and said: "Maybe you won't play soon, but you also have to train hard, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, I think you should understand this!" ”

The first meeting with David Moyes did not particularly impress Vardy, but Vardy did not underestimate the middle-aged man because of this, and he could not lead Everton to the Champions League without two strikes.
