Halftime is to give the players time to rest so that they can better prepare for the next game; It is also to allow both sides to make some adjustments according to the half-time game, so as to grasp the initiative in the second half; It is also to let the audience relax for a while, otherwise it is not easy to watch the game for an hour and a half in a row.

Soon ten minutes passed and the fans were back in their places, waiting for the second half to begin.

Fans in the vicinity of their seats started talking about the game.

They were talking about the situation in the first half, talking about Rooney's goal, saying that this Tiehan goal, especially Zhang Tiehan's goal, that is what Wigan fans talk about, that goal is so beautiful, a shot from 25 meters away, that kind of world wave is not often seen.

"I didn't expect that Zhang would score such a goal!"

"I originally thought that Zhang Neng could break the goal drought and score a header is already good!"

"He's done a great job!"

Wigan fans talk excitedly.

However, for the Everton fans who came to Wigan with the team, no matter how beautiful Zhang Tiehan's goal is, they can only envy it, after all, it was the opponent's goal, and they prefer to talk about Everton and their talented striker Wayne Rooney.

"Rooney is a genius!"

'I said last year that Wayne Rooney would be the pride of Everton!'

"He's so good! I'm going to love him to death! ”

Fans of both teams are talking about goals, talking about their players, talking about the second half, the players of the two teams have different opinions, Wigan fans think that the team has an advantage, although the team did not have an advantage in the first half, the initiative of the attack is still in the hands of Everton, but Zhang Tiehan's goal gave them a boost, not to mention, the team defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, why can't they beat Everton at home?

Everton fans think Everton can win because of Wayne Rooney, but also because of the strength of the team.

Although Everton did not perform well in the league, the opponent was a League One team after all, and they also had an advantage in the first half, the opponent's No. 13 was very strong, and the opponent played very firmly, but the outcome of the game often depends on the strength of both sides, and the opponent is weak, so they naturally have a chance to win.

Everton also scored first in the first half, and the equaliser was probably just a dribble, and that didn't decide anything.

Most media reporters see it that way, too.

As the second half of the game was about to start, the TV screen switched to JJB Stadium, and Cedric's voice appeared on the TV again, "Let's go back to the scene, there are only three minutes left before the second half, and there are already players in the game." ”

"In the first half, the two teams played to a level of one, Everton opened the scoring by England's talented striker Wayne Rooney, but a few minutes later, Wigan Athletic's No.13 scored a world wave, and I have to say, that goal was very beautiful!"

Cedric rarely praised Zhang Tiehan.

"Everton still had the advantage, with 59 per cent possession in the first half, a total of 233 passes and 196 successful passes, which is much higher than Wigan Athletic's 110, and there is a big gap between the two teams in terms of overall quality and coordination."

'Wigan Athletic are at home but it's very difficult to beat Everton......

"In the first half, Wigan Athletic's goal also had some element of luck, after all, such a long-distance world wave is almost impossible to replicate."

Cedric commented on the two teams, as well as the goals of the two teams in the first half, if you don't consider Cedric's personal emotions, in fact, what he said has some truth, Wigan Athletic's overall performance is indeed not as good as Everton, and that goal, within the normal range, cannot be replicated.

Other media outlets have similar views, at least that's what most neutral media reporters see.

The media reporters who support Everton believe that Everton will win, as for Zhang Tiehan's world, it is a luck, nothing remarkable, Wigan Athletic can have the current situation, it is also a kind of luck.

Wigan's local media believe Wigan Athletic has an advantage.

For what?

They can also come up with a set of theories, such as home advantage, such as Zhang Tiehan is good at creating miracles, such as they beat Chelsea, and for example, there is no certainty in football games, and Everton will not fail if they are stronger?

Wait a minute.

Supporters of both teams have their own opinions, with Everton generally in favour of Wigan Athletic as a small team and Everton supporters spread across England.

……

In an atmosphere of enthusiastic discussion, the second half of the game began.

Everton manager David Moyes was no longer in the dugout, he walked to the sidelines and watched the game up close.

David Moyes shared the sentiment of the reporters and also believed that the long-range shot was luck, and his side were actually dominant in the first half, never looking at the complicated stats, but what he saw with both eyes proved that Everton had the advantage, both in attack and defence.

So at half-time, he asked the team to go to the game normally.

Everton also don't have any special tactics, except for the defensive arrangement against Zhang Tiehan, they are only 442 offensive and defensive formations, but with the overall advantage of strength, Moyes believes that the team has no reason to lose.

But Moyes doesn't know that Everton's defensive players don't see it that way......

In the dressing room, central defender Stubbs expressed his opinion, "Sir, that number 13 is difficult to defend, we should pay more attention, stabilize the defense, and don't let him easily get up in front of the penalty area, it's too dangerous!" ”

Moyes felt there was some truth to it, but he also thought that strengthening the defence would hinder the attack, and he didn't think the young man with an eastern face was much of a threat, "We are Everton, we have the advantage of all-round quality, as long as we play normally, we will definitely win. ”

This was supported by a number of Everton players, most of whom were front-pitchers.

For example, Wayne Rooney, as a striker goalscorer, naturally he doesn't want the team to focus on defense, so he won't have any chances, and he doesn't think Zhang Tiehan is much of a threat, his long-range shooting is good, but in football games, how many goals are scored by long-range shots?

At the same time, he doesn't think Zhang Tiehan is stronger than himself, Zhang Tiehan can be a threat to Everton, he can also be a threat to Wigan Athletic, Zhang Tiehan can score, and he, Wayne Rooney, can definitely score more goals.

That's what Rooney had in mind.

Wayne Rooney, Radzinski and Darren Ferguson share the same view, with Moyes unanimously supporting Moyes' judgment and it doesn't matter what the few Everton defenders who disagree with them because they can't argue with the manager's decision, and at the same time, they can't argue with so many team-mates.

As a result, after the start of the second half of the game, every time Zhang Tiehan stepped in to attack, he felt that the opponent's defense against him was a lot looser.

It's weird.

Zhang Tiehan originally thought that because of his goal in the first half, the opponent's defense against him would be tighter, but he didn't expect this to be the case, he could easily pass the ball to his teammates in front of the penalty area, and then he could choose to pass to his teammates or choose to shoot directly.

Whenever he was at the very front of the formation, even in the penalty area, he was able to receive a lob pass from a team-mate.

It's completely different from the first half.

Although every time he is in the penalty area, there are still two players to defend himself, but Zhang Tiehan still feels very relaxed, there are many opportunities, this feeling is quite good, he plays very casually, and then whenever Wigan Athletic attacks, Zhang Tiehan becomes the focus of the narrator's mouth-

"Zhang's header! The top is off ......"

"It's Zhang, he passes the ball to the wing, Makarocchi gets up! The ball is blocked off the touchline. ”

"One shot! It's Zhang again, but it's a pity that it hit the opposing player......"

Listening to Williams's commentary, it seems that Zhang Tiehan is going to score a goal in the next moment, and in fact, the game scene is indeed like this, in ten minutes, Zhang Tiehan completed three shots, if it wasn't for a lack of luck, he would probably have rewritten the score.

The Everton defenders were on the lookout, and every time the opposition attacked was a test for them, the team's attack was playing, but the defense was much looser, which made the opponent's number 13 often find opportunities.

The only consolation is that they did play well in attack.

In ten minutes, Rooney had two shots on goal, Radzinski had one, Darren Ferguson also had two shots on goal, and five shots on goal in ten minutes, this statistic was too gorgeous, and the two teams played against each other to make the audience enjoy watching.

However, neither side scored.

This situation made Moyes feel a lot more calm, he found that most of the opponent's shots were concentrated on the opponent's number 13, and even when the ball reached his own penalty area, the opposing striker saw that the opportunity was not good, and once passed the ball back to the young man with an eastern face.

In this way, it is enough to just keep an eye on that thirteenth.

David Moyes was glad that 'it was good that he had set up his defence before the game' and that played a key role, otherwise his side would have fallen behind.

It's just that what Moyes didn't expect was that his estimate of Zhang Tiehan was still much worse.

Zhang Tiehan only had three shots on goal, but two of them were very threatening, and now he is in the middle of the field.

When the team pushes forward the attack, Ridell, Makalocchi and others, will push the ball to the middle, and all he needs to do is go up and hit the shot; When he strikes on the fly-back, he's fast, and with sheer speed, it's easy for him to find chances, or even if the opposition defends well, his team-mates can hoist the ball into the box, and all he needs to do is head it in.

Combined, his single-handedly threat to the Everton goal topped the attack of all Everton players against Wigan Athletic.

At the same time, Zhang Tiehan also felt that his condition was getting better and better.

It's the first time he's experienced this kind of game feeling, the 'heavy weapon' on his feet, it's also the first time he's come to the fore, from the beginning of the game to now, he hasn't fully adapted to it, in such a confrontation battle, he feels more and more adapted, when other people's physical abilities start to decline, he is like a fish in water and excited to the extreme.

Zhang Tiehan can shoot from a distance, can head the ball, and is fast, such a comprehensive performance has made Everton's defenders overstretched, and they have to face a difficult choice every time-

Is the center of gravity in the box or outside the box?

For Everton's defenders, it's a matter of the eye, every time the ball rolls towards Zhang Tiehan, they have to make a choice, but if the focus is on the outside of the box, if the opponent doesn't shoot from distance, but gives it to his teammates, then there is some danger in the box.

Contrarily...... Of course.

……

At the 76th minute of the game, seeing the football roll to the penalty area, Zhang Tiehan, who was inserted in the back, waved his foot, and they were once again faced with a choice.

Then they saw that instead of shooting, they distributed the ball to the wing.

There is Makalocchi!

After a game, Wigan Athletic has a threat, Everton knows in their hearts, obviously Makalocchi is one of them, sure enough, Makalocchi received a pass from Zhang Tiehan and crossed directly on the side!

A high kick!

Following the trajectory of the football, the Everton players immediately judged that the football would bypass many people and land behind the penalty area.

There...... What about the other party's number 13?

When Makalocchi passed the ball out, Everton was a little panicked when they judged the landing point, because they didn't see Zhang Tiehan in front of the penalty area, and there was no nearby, which means that the guy was probably at the back point.

"Macarocchi crosses! It's a bit high, but it gets around a lot of Everton defenders, so let's take a look...... Sheet! Cedric's voice changed suddenly.

Then the eyes of the Everton players also swept to Zhang Tiehan, who rushed to the back point.

Even if the team's tactical focus is not defence, as the team's central defender, Stubbs has not forgotten his duty, he needs to keep an eye on the opposition's number 13, and this is his task in the game.

When he saw Zhang Tiehan, Stubbs turned around and rushed to the back point without hesitation, even if he couldn't touch the ball himself, he couldn't let the opponent touch it easily.

After turning around, Stubbs didn't even look at the ball, he jumped up directly, and at the same time he saw Zhang Tiehan appear in front of him.

That's in the air!

The two jumped at the same time and crashed into each other!

……

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

The hustle and bustle of JJB Stadium came to an abrupt end at this moment, and all eyes were fixed on the two people hanging in the air, and that scene would probably be remembered by many people deeply--

Stubbs, who is 1.91 meters tall, and Zhang Tiehan, who is slightly shorter than him, collided in the air, but Stubbs's head was only on Zhang Tiehan's chest.

In this picture, Stubbs seems to exist to reflect Zhang Tiehan's superiority.

Yes, high on top!

He jumped too high, so high that Stubbs could only look up, and at the same time the football came, Zhang Tiehan was hit by Stubbs a little unbalanced, but he still shook his head fiercely and mercilessly pushed the ball towards the Everton goal.

When Stubbs fell to the ground, Zhang Tiehan still maintained a head-shaking posture.

He spread his arms like an eagle!

The football also went straight to the goal, straight, it was a straight line...... Simonson did a good job and even saw the path of the ball, but where did he think that the ball would be so fast, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to fish, but he could only watch the ball pass through his fingertips.

Soccer ball, straight into the goal!

At the same time, Zhang Tiehan fell to the ground, his body was still a little unbalanced, and he only landed on one foot, but his right arm was already raised high, and his face was full of confidence.

Feet......

Stubbs was lying on the grass, clutching his forehead in pain.
