"Good evening, friends in front of the TV! Welcome to Sky TV's first round of the 02-03 Premier League season, where Everton host Tottenham Hotspur! I'm Paul Mortenson, and I'm excited to bring you today's commentary. 'Because the league was a day later than the other games and didn't clash with some of the big teams, Sky TV broadcast the game as well.

"Hello everyone, I'm your old friend Martin Taylor, and I'm excited to bring you the commentary of this game with Paul." Famous commentator Martin Taylor also appeared in front of the commentary table.

"This year is the 100th English league in which Everton has played, and for this reason, Everton invited 50 former stars, including Kandal, to Goodison Park to celebrate this monumental occasion with fans. Therefore, this game is a must-win for the Everton team! ”

"In today's game, each team has a superstar who will attract attention. The 16-year-old England's new England golden boy Wayne Rooney has been officially transferred to the first team this season, and has played many times in the previous warm-up games and performed well, but it is uncertain whether he will be able to play today. As for Tottenham, their Chinese rising star Edison Chen completed an incredible hat-trick of assists in half an hour in the UEFA Cup qualifiers, and Beckham, known as Tottenham, is also a concern for many fans whether he can play today. ”

……

While the two commentators were chattering about their pre-match analysis, the two teams were also making final preparations in the dressing room.

In the away team's locker room, Chen Xi was already fully dressed, just waiting for Hoddle to finally explain the tactics of this game.

Appearing in the away team's locker room for the first time, Chen Xi found that these facilities were very ordinary, and did not match this stadium with a very advanced appearance. In fact, Chen Xi didn't know that in most stadiums, the away team's locker room could not be compared to the home team's locker room.

Even in a top-class stadium like the Bernabeu, their home team's dressing room is luxurious, but the visitors' dressing room is certainly more spacious and bright.

"All right, gentlemen. Be quiet and listen to my last words! Hoddle clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

As soon as the coach spoke, Chen Xi and his teammates quieted down and focused on Hoddle.

"This is our first league game of the new season! Although the opponents are strong against Everton and this is their home turf, I think our goal should still be to get all three points! Our goal for the new season is to qualify for the Europa League, so we should try to win games against a team of Everton's calibre. Only by winning the games we deserve will we be able to get higher in the league and achieve our goal! So, our goal is ......" Hoddle stopped abruptly after an impassioned speech.

"Victory! Our goal is to win! Under the leadership of captain Redknapp, Chen Xi and his teammates shouted in unison!

Meanwhile, David Moyes is making the final touches in the visitors' dressing room.

"I think I've already laid out the tactics very clearly, so I'd like to say a few words about it. This season marks our 100th season in the English league. There are a lot of our seniors in the stands, a lot of players who have been part of the club's history, and they didn't come here to see us lose. Therefore, we have only one goal in this game, and that is to win! Win Tottenham and get our 100th season off to a good start! 'David Moyes has only retired from playing in recent seasons, so he and the players are both mentors and friends, so his speeches naturally resonate with the players.

"Get off to a good start!" Veteran Scottish Will, who took over the injured Duncan Ferguson as captain of the team today, cheered.

"Get off to a good start!" The other Everton players also shouted in unison, and one of the little fat men blushed even more. This little fat man is Wayne Rooney, who is not yet 17 years old.

Almost at the same moment, both teams rushed out of the locker room together.

Walking out of the locker room, Chen Xi saw Li Gang wearing the blue jersey of the home team, and there was only a eye contact between the two. After all, they are in charge of this game, and now is not the time for them to say hello.

And Rooney, who was also in the home team's camp, looked at Chen Xi, because this Chinese kid completely overshadowed him during this time.

Isn't it just a hat trick of assists when playing against the Andorra team, if Lao Tzu runs into them, it will be a hat trick of goals! Rooney, who had a straight surname, thought disdainfully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rumble~~~

As the players from both teams walked onto the pitch side by side, the stands at Goodison Park burst into cheers and, of course, boos for the visitors!

"Okay, the players of both teams are out, let's take a look at the starting lists of both teams!"

Everton line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Richard Wright

Defenders: Hibbert, Will, Stubbs, Naismith

Midfielders: Li Gang, Graveson, Pembrich

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Campbell, Radzinski

'David Moyes played in a 4-3-3 attacking formation and he clearly wanted to use it to break Tottenham in this game. China's Li Gang was in the starting line-up and was positioned on the right side of the three midfielders. In addition, the much-talked-about Wayne Rooney appeared in the starting lineup. Wayne Rooney, who turns 17 next month, becomes the second-youngest first-team player in Everton's history, behind Joe Royer (16 years, 288 days). He partnered with Campbell and Radzinski on the front line and was responsible for attacking the city! ”

Tottenham line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Keller

Defenders: Stephen Carr, Gardner, Richards, Tarico

Midfielders: Simon Davis, Redknapp, Flender, Edison Chan

Forwards: Sheringham, Iverson

'Hoddle is playing in a traditional 4-4-2 formation and it seems that he is still prepared to play the road side down. Up front, veteran Rice Ferdinand, who has returned from injury, did not start. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur rookie Edison Chan is also in the main line-up, but from the position he appears to be a left-sided midfielder, which is different from his position in the last game, can the young player be able to eat both wings? At the same time, was his performance in the last game an accident or a result of his strength? Let's look forward to it! ”

While the commentator was analyzing the main lineups of the two teams, Chen Xi and his teammates had already stepped on the turf of Goodison Park.

Chen Xi was doing the final warm-up activities at this time, although his current physical fitness was so strong that he was a little perverted, he was still not ready to give the injury and illness any chance to invade.

Glancing at the dense blue color in the stands, Chen Xi felt a little nervous in his heart. But soon, this nervousness was self-regulated by him into excitement.

This was Chen Xi's first league game for Tottenham, and it was also his first start for the team. In Chen Xi's view, his journey to conquer the Premier League officially began today!
