Everton's first-round Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur will kick off on 18 August. Although this is only a conversation between mid-table teams, it has also attracted attention from the outside world due to a number of factors.

First of all, the managers of both sides.

The 45-year-old Hoddle and the 40-year-old Moyes are both young managers in the Premier League. Hoddle has already been the head coach of the England national team, while David Moyes has only been in the top flight for a short time, but he has already shown his ability to lead the team after taking over midway through last season.

Both teams will be looking to make it to Europe in the new season, so direct conversations between them will also have a big impact on the final standings of the season.

In addition, each team has a recent hot newcomer.

Everton's 17-year-old supertalent Wayne Rooney has yet to prove himself in the Premier League, but he has long been hailed by the media as England's next golden boy. Wayne Rooney helped Everton reach the FA Youth Cup final last season, scoring eight goals in eight games and being impressively efficient. He scored an exaggerated 99 goals in a season during his secondary school years, a record that has not been broken by the Liverpool Secondary School Football League. In this league, although it is doubtful whether he can get a chance to play, he is definitely a big attraction of this game.

Tottenham's Chen Xi, who is under 18 years old, became popular overnight after the last League Cup qualifying match. His resume is not as rich and brilliant as Rooney's. However, his transition from a football quarterback to a football wingback is legendary. But in the same way, it is still doubtful whether Chen Xi can play in this game.

Finally, there is another highlight that Chinese fans are more concerned about. That's the Chinese players from Tottenham and Everton.

Everton signed two Chinese internationals, Li Gang and Li Weifeng, while Tottenham Hotspur signed Chen Xi, a Chinese British, and are also making a final effort to sign Qu Bo.

Such a collision between two teams with a strong connection to Chinese football can naturally attract the attention of Chinese fans.

Of course, the question now is whether these players will be able to play.

Li Weifeng has been training in the reserve team since joining Everton, and Li Gang is relatively the most promising one. On the Tottenham side, Qu Bo's labor certificate has not yet passed, and he will definitely not be able to play, and it is unknown whether Chen Xi's amazing performance in the last game can impress Hoddle.

However, before the game, some media photographed Chen Xi wearing a blue vest symbolizing the main force in training, so it is speculated that Chen Xi is very likely to appear in this game.

In addition to these highlights, the injuries of players from both teams are also the focus of attention.

Both teams have a number of veterans in their thirties, who are more susceptible to injuries.

Everton captain Duncan Ferguson, a former Scottish international, will miss the game through injury. After returning to Everton, Duncan Ferguson's goal percentage has been low. But the tall, smart, air-keeping and ball-handling centre-forward is very important to Everton at a tactical level!

In addition to Duncan Ferguson, Everton's forward line is also injured, along with Moore, teenager Nick Chadwick and new defender Arbon. However, the impact of their team's main lineup is not great.

For Tottenham, Rice Ferdinand is back from injury, but Hoddle may not be able to send him on due to the protection of the veteran. Midfield veteran Poyet has been confirmed for the season with a serious injury. Another veteran midfielder, Anderton, is also still recovering from injury, and the two main players in the backline, Ziggy and Ledley King, are still missing.

From this point of view, the impact of Tottenham's injury is a little more serious.

While the outside world was doing various pre-match analyses of the game, Tottenham, who had just returned to London for two days of rest, had to set off again for Liverpool in the northwest of England.

Liverpool is one of the five boroughs of Metropolis-on-Mersey, once the UK's manufacturing centre and the UK's second largest trading port. But the most popular thing here is obviously football, in addition to the famous Red Army Liverpool, Everton, known as the "Toffees", is also the football representative of the city.

Of course, in addition to football, there is also music. Liverpool is home to the once-popular Beatles, and all four members of the band grew up in the city.

Chen Xi, who had practiced English songs hard in order to pick up girls before the crossing, was also a veritable "Beatles fan". In fact, when he sings Beatles songs, he can be very lethal to girls.

Coming to the hometown of his idol for the first time, Chen Xi felt that it was a different flavor compared to the metropolis of London.

Of course, he knew very well that he was not here for sightseeing. Unsurprisingly, he will start today, make his Premier League debut, and show himself for the first time in front of discerning England fans, which is not a mistake for him!

Everton's home stadium is the 40,000-capacity Goodison Park Stadium, which is not as good as Anfield, the home of rivals Liverpool. But it's also a modern football stadium.

Chen Xi, who was doing pre-game adaptation training here, imagined that he would compete here, and the blood in his body involuntarily boiled.

Although Tottenham's White Hart Lane stadium is no worse than Goodison Park, Chen Xi has not played at White Hart Lane so far. In the last game, the home stadium of the FC Encamp team was similar to a school stadium, so it can be said that Goodison Park Stadium is the first big stage that Chen Xi will appear on after crossing!

Most Premier League stadiums are professional stadiums, that is, there is no separation between the stadium and the spectator area, which is conducive to zero-distance interaction between players and fans. This is also an important reason why the atmosphere in the Premier League has always been hot. Goodison Park is just such a professional football stadium.

It's an away game, but Chen Xi can still imagine how enthusiastic he will be when he scores a goal. Although the boos must have overshadowed the cheers, Chen Xi didn't mind. All he cares about is that these voices are generated by his performance!

Since it's hard to enjoy the cheers of the Tottenham fans on the road, let me enjoy the boos of the away fans today! Before leaving Goodison Park at the end of the adaptation training, Chen Xi thought confidently!
