August 11th.

The Premier League begins.

Everton play Wigan Athletic for the first time.

Wigan Athletic narrowly escaped relegation last season, finishing 17th in the league with only 38 points, the same points as the relegated Sheffield United, but relying on goal difference.

The team's head coach this season is Englishman Chris Hetenings.

Football is like this, big-name coaches put their own stamp on the team, such as the later Pep Guardiola, no matter where he goes, it is technical flow football.

An unknown coach is like a dough, and the team is the mold.

Chris Hetenings came to Wigan Athletic, of course he couldn't change the team, only the team changed him.

It's very simple, he also wants to buy Ronaldinho, but ......

Forget it, daydreaming is still less.

However, this Wigan Athletic team has two strong attackers.

One is the former Liverpool star Emile Heskey, and the other is Antonio Valencia (later Manchester United's Valencia)

Chris says the minimum goal at Goodison Park is to get a point.

The two teams were friendly before the game.

Everton were sixth last season, Wigan Athletic were relegation teams, and the two sides were not rivals at all.

Tang Zhenglong shook hands with Husky.

Moyes also hugged Chris.

Just as the two sides were waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to kick off, there was a ding.

"Got a mission?"

Task: Collect ten jerseys (numbers from 1 to 10, the team is not limited, in addition to the team, it must be given voluntarily by the other party, and the robbery does not count)

Reward: Ball Path Correction (once per game)

Penalties: None

Tang Zhenglong was dying.

"What is Ball Lane Correction?"

"Ball correction means that no matter how outrageous your shot is, how airy it is, you can hit the woodwork."

Depend on!

That's amazing.

It's easy for a professional player to draw a heavy shot, but it's hard not to fly.

With this skill, you only need to exert force when shooting, and you don't need to worry about whether you are flying or not.

Tang Zhenglong understood, this is the same permanent skill as shooting on the right side of the penalty area.

"Cool, system, there will be more resident skills in the future."

"This system is very Buddhist, and the task depends on fate."

Burst!!!

The task was taken, and the game began.

Moyes thought about it and put Tang Zhenglong in the right winger position, while the striker was a combination of Cahill and Yakubu.

What Moyes didn't know was that Tang Zhenglong was only a threat in the penalty area, and Tang Zhenglong's speed was basically not used to break through.

As soon as the game began, Wigan Athletic was recoiled.

The Sky Sports commentator laughed: "Wigan Athletic shouldn't want to be so thrilling this season, they were relegated by one point last season." ”

Those who play in the Premier League and those who play in the Championship have a sea of income.

Many teams that have fallen into the Championship have never returned, mainly due to the deterioration of their finances.

Because there is no money, the grades are poor, and because of the poor grades, they can't make money, and eventually a vicious circle is formed.

On Everton's side, standing behind the two strikers is Spaniard Mikel Arteta.

Mikel Arteta has delicate footwork, good passing ability and can feed his own attacking team-mates.

Normally, Everton's midfielders do not have priority to fire, and David Moyes still wants to leave the right to fire to the two strikers.

Arteta is followed by Neville, Jagielka and Lee Carsley.

The trio have a tough style of play and a balanced attack and defence, and they provide the hardness of Everton's midfield.

Further back, the twin-tower centre-back duo of Jabbo and Lescott was more than enough to deal with the threat of high balls, flanking them at left-back Bynes and right-back Tony Hibbert.

In the first 15 minutes of the first half, both sides were probing, and Wigan Athletic's formation shrank sharply, but with 20 minutes played, Arteta seized the opportunity and picked up a cross into the box for Yakubu.

The Nigerian leaned on the opposing defender and volleyed with his left foot,

The ball flew off.

Goodison Park erupted in a roar.

"Everton's first goal of the new season was a little bit close."

Soon, Cahill also had a chance to shoot, but it flew straight away.

Chris Hetenings smiled at the corner of his mouth, this was actually specially arranged by him, and during the pre-match training, he told his players that they could give the opponent the right to fire first, but they must not be passed.

The reason why he dared to do this is because Chris estimates that the Everton striker is not the world's top striker.

Just imagine, if it is Eto'o, then Wigan Athletic will definitely not dare to give the opponent the right to fire.

For top strikers, the first touch is enough, such as Thierry Henry, Bergkamp.

Soon, Moyes saw it.

Assistant Alan Erwin walked over.

"The opponent is clearly putting us on the first foot."

Moyes smiled bitterly: "You can't blame the opponent, if we have an Inzaghi, then does the opponent dare to do this?" ”

Just as Moyes and Erwin sighed, Tang Zhenglong appeared out of nowhere.

"Boss, what do you want Inzaghi! I'm Inzaghi. ”

……

Moyes and Erwin have black lines in their heads.

"Don, it's the game, how did you get out of the sideline?"

"I'll drink some water."

……

"Don, do you play like this in Cologne?"

"No, it's not."

Moyes thought to himself, that's fine.

"I'm in Cologne up front, so the opposing defenders will talk to me, and if you ask me to play as a winger, I won't have a chance to chat."

……

Moyes couldn't believe his ears.

If you think about it, Chelsea signed the top scorer in the League Cup and gave it to Everton for free for half a year.

So Moyes didn't examine Tang Zhenglong in detail at all.

Right now......

"Don, you have to change, you have to follow the tactics, otherwise I'll replace you right away."

Tang Zhenglong looked very honest and nodded.

"Oh, then I'll go back."

'Alain, why do I think Chelsea are hurting us.'

"No, and you don't want our money."

"That's too." Moyes nodded, I really don't know what Mourinho has taken a fancy to Tang Zhenglong?

At the end of the first half, Everton and Wigan Athletic had shots to 7 to 1, but the score was 0-0.

Wigan Athletic's tactics were executed successfully.

"David had to figure out something in the second half, otherwise they wouldn't want to knock on Wigan Athletic's door."

The fans at Goodison Park were a little dissatisfied, but no one was booing yet, maybe the new season has just begun, and it will take time.

In the locker room, a fierce argument broke out between the players, and the focus of everyone's argument turned out to be Tang Zhenglong.

Gravison asked David Moyes to replace Tang Zhenglong and replace him on the grounds that Tang Zhenglong was not running at all on the pitch.
