The Premier League is usually the earliest start of the five major leagues, and Everton's first Premier League game is on August 11.

At home against Wigan Athletic.

Since August, the main players of the team have begun to return to the team one after another.

The number of people in the training base of Finch Farm has gradually increased.

Everton are not giants in the Premier League, but they don't need to worry about relegation, and they belong to the upper middle of the table.

When you play well, you can touch the tail of the giants, and if you don't play well, it is normal to be ten out.

David Moyes' team has a decent midfield and backfield, but it is the forward line that bothers him.

Four forwards, Victor Anichebe, Andrew Johnson, James Wolgan, Yakubu.

Except for Yakubu's level is a little higher, the rest can't meet Moyes's requirements at all, but there is no way, it is not so easy to buy a good striker in the Premier League now even if he has money.

For example, Rooney, cultivated by Everton, but Manchester United secretly sent Qiu Bo, and Xiaopang was clamoring to leave.

The Premier League is like this, the law of the jungle is the strong, without the slightest warmth.

In this regard, Moyes is helpless, if he leads the team to a bad result, then the club will not be so polite to him.

Despite the shortage of strikers on hand, Moyes is still not optimistic about Tang Zhenglong.

The reason is very simple, the Premier League is not the same as the Bundesliga, in the Bundesliga a player may still rely on dexterity to eat, but the Premier League?

Don't think about it without a strong physical confrontation.

How many top-notch players have been crushed in the Premier League, the most typical is Uruguayan sharpshooter Forlan.

Played so well in La Liga, but in the years at Manchester United, the water was a storm.

So after seeing Tang Zhenglong's physical confrontation, Moyes is convinced that this is just a deal from the club's hierarchy, which may have some benefits, but it is certainly not on the pitch.

Moyes divided his players into two groups, one that had just returned to the squad for a low-intensity session, and those who had been back for more than a week were starting to train at a normal intensity.

This is done to avoid injuries to the players.

In just a few days, Tang Zhenglong has become acquainted with several teammates, and the best relationship is goalkeeper Howard and Dutchman Van der Meyde.

Andy van der Meyde, like Tang Zhenglong, is a newcomer, and as a foreigner, he feels more close.

"Andy, pass the ball to me."

Van der Meyde sent a short ball and Tang Zhenglong smashed the ball into the goal.

"Tim, your save level is not good."

"Hahaha."

"you, such a close-range shot, Schmeichel came, and he just raised his hands in surrender."

"Hahaha."

At this moment, Howard made a look, "The boss is here." ”

Howard's boss is not David Moyes, but the boss on the pitch, the heart of the team's midfield, former Manchester United player Phil Neville.

He and Gary Neville, who plays for Manchester United, are two brothers.

Phil moved to Everton two years ago and quickly became the team's main midfielder.

"Phil." Howard offered to say hello.

Neville saw Tang Zhenglong and Van der Meyde.

"Hello."

"Hello, Phil."

After a few quick pleasantries, Neville moved on to another group and started jogging.

On August 4th, with a week to go before the start of the new season, Moyes reckons that the players are almost comfortable and it is time for the official group confrontation.

The team was divided into groups for a five-on-five confrontation, with David Moyes spreading several newcomers into several groups for separate observations.

First of all, Gravison of the second palace.

The Dane has played for Real Madrid, and his experience is the team's greatest asset, but his fitness has declined so quickly that it is no longer the same as Gravisen's back then.

That's the case with players who eat on their bodies, and Moyes understands that.

For example, Keane of Manchester United was like a dragon when he was young, but as he grew older, his temper was still so big, but his ability was long gone, and he was finally swept out of the house by the old man.

Moyes began to observe Van der Meyde again.

Van der Meyde debuted in the Dutch giants Ajax and was known as the Dutch wing, but at Inter Milan, Van der Meyde's growth was hindered and even regressed, and bringing him in was also a gamble.

If it succeeds, it will be earned, but Moyes feels it is still necessary to watch, but at the training ground, Van der Meyde did not show the level of winging.

The other is Tang Zhenglong.

Top scorer in the UEFA Cup, top scorer in the Asian Cup, Chelsea guys.

If you just look at these titles, then Tang Zhenglong is undoubtedly the most expected, but Moyes looked at Tang Zhenglong's training and his heart sank to the bottom.

Moyes called his assistant Alan Erwin over, "Alain, go and tell Tang Zhenglong to run, he may still be in the slow pace of the previous few days." ”

Erwin ran over and immediately ran back again.

"David, Tang Zhenglong said that he has full firepower."

……

Moyes has a black line on his forehead.

"Is he blind to me?"

"He's taking a walk."

Ervin Khan," but that's what he said. ”

"Okay, I'll say it myself."

Moyes walked quickly to Tang Zhenglong's side, "Don, you have to run, there is still a week before the league starts." ”

"Boss, I've been running a lot, it's my style of play."

"Don't tell me that's how you train in Cologne?"

"Nope."

Moyes thought to himself, "It's okay. ”

"I have a chair in Cologne."

……

Moyes had a foul word in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Don, you can't do this, it's the Premier League, not the Bundesliga, you have to run, like everybody."

Tang Zhenglong looked at Moyes and said: "Boss, don't the Bundesliga and the Premier League all kick the ball into the goal to count one point?" ”

"Could it be that the Premier League is based on running?"

"Of course not."

"That's it, I'm a striker, as long as I score every game, it doesn't matter how much I run."

Moyes was thundered.

Just you?

Goal after game?

"Don, if you don't run hard, how can you have a chance to score?"

"Boss, everyone says I'm Inzaghi, and I think you should design a style of play around me."

“……”

Moyes has a feeling that he has lived for a long time, the bad boy has not seen it, Rooney is a thorn, but compared to Tang Zhenglong, Rooney is a good baby.

Moyes felt that it was necessary to let Tang Zhenglong know that he was powerful.

"Don, tomorrow there will be an 11-on-11 intra-team match, I want to see your strength."

"No problem."

Moyes patted Tang Zhenglong on the shoulder and left.

"Alain, come here."

"What's the matter, David?"

"Find out Tang Zhenglong's game information for me, I'm very curious now, how did he score those goals."

"Okay, David."
