Chapter Seventy-Seven: The First Sound of Heavy Artillery

Everton's defense is solid, especially against Zhang Tiehan, they don't give Zhang Tiehan a 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 attack is quite threatening.

Even if Everton's results in the Premier League are poor, they still have a flashy squad that last season saw Everton draw with Arsenal in the first half of the league and win the Merseyside derby to finish fourth in the Premier League just before Christmas.

This shows the magnificence of Everton's line-up.

The forward line composed of Rooney and Radzinski in the front court is also the number of Premier League teams, Rooney is still young and a little immature, but his impact in the front court, few players can compare, and with Radzinski's calmness, the two frequently create threats.

Finally, in the 37th minute, relying on a counter-attack in the middle line, Everton broke the deadlock after successfully breaking the ball.

It was Wayne Rooney who scored.

"Everton take the lead! They were the first to break the deadlock away from home with England prodigy Wayne Rooney, the Everton youngster who just turned 18 and is at the heart of England's new generation of talent. ”

"Rooney! Rooney! Beautiful goal! ”

"At the age of eighteen, he has become a world-class player, in the summer, Manchester United asked for 20 million pounds to buy this youngster, Moyes did not let go, he is right, such a unique talent, absolutely world-class!"

A cheer!

In the stadium's media seats, many reporters clenched their fists and cheered excitedly.

Wayne Rooney, a new generation of England talent, his influence in England has already caught up with David Beckham, he is only 18 years old, and it shows Rooney's prospects, no one will deny Rooney's future.

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

There were only 3,000 Everton fans in attendance, but their cheers were heard throughout the stadium, and as they cheered, Wayne Rooney and his team-mates hugged each other in celebration.

At the same time, many reporters in the media table also chanted.

In addition to the local reporters in Wigan, including a few Manchester County reporters, the rest of the reporters who came to cover the news were almost all in support of Everton, although Wigan Athletic was at home, but Everton were a Premier League powerhouse, with some influence in England and even in Europe, and they had young English talent Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney is doing well, and reporters can make a big splash after the game --

"England's talented goalscorer has scored again!"

"Wayne Rooney scored twice at JJB Stadium and he led Everton to a sweep of Wigan Athletic!"

"England's talented goalscorer Wayne Rooney stepped up after the 'nouveau riche' defeat at Chelsea, and he scored a hat-trick to help the Premier League side save face......

Wait a minute.

As for Wigan Athletic...... A small team in Manchester, who cares so much, they don't have Wayne Rooney, they just have some players from the lower leagues.

Zhang Tiehan is naturally included.

Wigan Athletic's Zhang is almost 19 years old, and the information shows that he is more than 180 days older than Rooney. We see that Wayne Rooney has already made his mark in the Premier League and joined the England squad more than half a year ago, while Zhang is still struggling in the first division. ”

"Maybe many people don't know the way, Zhang also has a good background, he is the result of Manchester United's academy......"

It's a pity that his performance at Manchester United was too poor, and he was sold to Wigan Athletic by Manchester United. Although he has performed well before, the recent slump has proved that kind of performance is only temporary. ”

"Maybe Mr. Ferguson saw this and put him up for sale......"

These are the words from Cedric, the Sky Sports TV commentator in charge of broadcasting the match live.

After Rooney's goal, Cedric said Everton, Wigan Athletic, Rooney, Zhang Tiehan, Sky Sports commentators are not very neutral, England's commentators are rarely really neutral, they are commentators at the same time, they are also a real fan.

Cedric was born in London and is a Chelsea fan.

He and Alfi are colleagues, but the relationship between the two is not very good because of work, Alfi once praised Zhang Tiehan, and in that game, Zhang Tiehan scored a hat-trick against Chelsea.

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

Unlike Cedric, other journalists and fans who supported Everton have long forgotten about Zhang Tiehan, Rooney's goal is the most important thing, and they have given Rooney all kinds of praise.

How about Zhang Tiehan, they don't pay attention anymore.

In this series of praise and criticism, cheers and downs, the game restarted, and Everton took the lead, which is not good for Wigan Athletic, although this is a home game, but Wigan Athletic's overall strength is weaker than Everton, whether it is the individual ability of the players, or the ability to cooperate with the team, Wigan Athletic is at a disadvantage.

Many people feel that Wigan Athletic has little hope of winning.

Zhang Tiehan doesn't think so, he's trying to find opportunities up front, as before, and he keeps attacking Everton's defence and putting pressure on Everton's defence.

His body is his greatest capital!

Although Everton's defense was very tight, Zhang Tiehan's repeated attacks still put them under a lot of pressure, and they had to divide two people to defend, so that the defense against others was not so tight.

Many people think that Zhang Tiehan doesn't know how to cooperate with the team, in fact, Zhang Tiehan is just a little out of line with the team in the running position, he has always been a midfielder, and then played as a striker for a month, the former is a defensive position, the latter is at the front of the team, he rarely needs to pass and receive the ball with his teammates to promote the offensive training opportunities, so he rarely does this in the game.

But in fact, Zhang Tiehan's tactical awareness is not bad, after all, Manchester United's academy is absolutely first-class in the world in this regard.

At least he knew what he was supposed to do on the field.

Zhang Tiehan's continuous forward insertion brought a lot of pressure to Everton's defense, and they divided their manpower to mark Zhang Tiehan, and the pressure on other Wigan Athletic attacking players was much less.

At the same time, Everton spared no effort to deploy defense in the penalty area, preventing Zhang Tiehan from getting a chance to head the goal.

Anyone who knows a little about football can see Wigan Athletic's attacking style of play.

Zhang Tiehan is only a midfielder, but when attacking, he stands in the box with Roberts, he is very far forward, the position is level with Ellington, and other Wigan Athletic players pass the ball into the box when they have the opportunity.

It seems like a simple attacking routine, but it is very dangerous for Everton's defense.

Zhang Tiehan, Roberts, and Ellington, the three of them made a mess of the Everton penalty area, but fortunately, their defense was solid, so they did not concede the ball in a short time.

In the forty-third minute of the game, it was another attack by Wigan Athletic.

Ridell and Makalocchi made a one-two on the side, brought the ball to the penalty area, two players stepped forward to intercept, and the other Everton defenders stayed in the penalty area, ready to prevent the opponent from hoisting into the penalty area.

But this time, when Will and Stubbs were ready, Zhang Tiehan was nowhere to be seen, and there was only one striker in the entire Everton penalty area, Neil Roberts.

There are no more opponents......

Neil Roberts, 30, spent most of his 10-year football career in League Two.

Such a striker who will not be taken into account by Everton stars in his playing year, and now that he is going downhill, how can it be worth the full attention of several Everton defenders?

Will and Stubbs looked left and right, but still didn't find Zhang Tiehan.

"Riddle with the ball, let's see there's only one Wigan Athletic player in the box, what about Zhang?" Cedric asked what was on everyone's minds.

What about Zhang Tiehan?

"Raise your hand to ask for the ball!" Mick Williams shouted.

Zhang Tiehan was standing outside the big penalty area, more than five meters away from the penalty line, and because the Everton defense was very far behind, this position was unguarded.

"What is he going to do? He wants to pass the ball in place of Riddle? Cedric wondered.

This sentence is a bit of a.

No. 13 Zhang Tiehan passed the ball instead of Riddle...... If you don't know Wigan Athletic, you probably don't think it's anything when you hear this, but those who know both sides of the game know that Ridell is the core of Wigan Athletic and the best footwork in the team.

Zhang Tiehan?

The gap between the two in terms of passing can be described as the gap between the two stars.

If this is AC Milan, then Ridell is equivalent to a generation of art master Andrea Pirlo, and Zhang Tiehan is equivalent to Gattuso who can't run to death.

Does the latter really pass the ball......

Cedric said flatly, but after speaking, he reacted and laughed directly, some fans who watched the Sky Sports live broadcast didn't know why, but there were still many fans who laughed with Cedric.

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

Gravison, who was carefully defending Riddle, jumped up the moment Riddle kicked out, trying to prevent Riddle from picking the ball into the box, as the opposition had done before.

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

What about football?

Graveson turned his head to see that the ball did not fly towards the penalty area, but rolled sideways to the other side.

Ridell really passed the ball to Zhang Tiehan!

"What is he going to do?" A lot of people asked questions, but no one answered, and they were all focused on the game and what was going to happen next.

"Could it be...... Zhang wants to shoot! A Wigan reporter exclaimed.

The other reporters watched the game and didn't react, but they couldn't help but feel disdain...... That position, a direct shot? It's crazy to want to score goals.

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

Although there was no one in front of him, Zhang Tiehan didn't have any intention of stopping the ball at all, his right foot had been raised, and just when the football was about to roll in front of him, the right leg slammed over!

"Bump!" A muffled sound was clearly audible.

Like a cannonball, the ball paused on the grass for a moment, then soared into the air and whistled towards the goal, grazing past an Everton player who was so frightened that he clutched his head.

The camera of the big screen stops at this moment!

The ball rushed to the right corner of the goal, and Everton goalkeeper Simonson stood on the left side of the goal with his hands spread out with his mouth wide open, his face full of panic.

"Huh!" Soccer ball swooped headlong into the net.

Goalkeeper Simonsen reacted and made a symbolic move to the right, but the ball flew over the goal line by the time he made his move......
