Chapter 0130, New Beginnings

On 16 August, Leicester City played their first Premier League game.

The King Power Stadium was already full, and countless fans cheered as if it was a holiday.

Their teams are finally able to play on the Premier League stage.

Thinking about it is like a dream.

In the stands, an older fan criticizes the young people around him.

"Tommy, stay calm, don't get so excited."

"Grandpa, our team can finally play in the Premier League, can I not be excited."

'We'll be able to play in the Premier League every week, we'll be able to play in the Europa League, and we'll definitely be in the Champions League in the future.'

"Haha, it's fun to think about!"

The fans cheered and the Leicester players were excited.

In the locker room, everyone chatted and looked forward to today's game.

Drinkwater patted his chest and said, "We won this game!" The first win in the Premier League is secure! ”

James next to him asked, "Why?" ”

"You're stupid!" De la Ette glanced at James, "We just won a friendly match against them a while ago, and of course we won this one. ”

Drinkwater laughed: "That's right! It's just a defeat, no problem! ”

Morgan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to say something, but the vice-captain next to him, Schmeichel, stopped him and whispered.

"Just get everyone excited, it's okay. For the opening game of the Premier League, confidence is more important than anything else. ”

Morgan nodded: "We will definitely win the opponent." ”

"Did you hear that? The captain has spoken, hahahaha! Victory, victory! Drinkwater looked at several of the attacking players, "We're in charge of defending, you're in charge of scoring goals, trying to score as many of them as possible." ”

Vardy: "No problem! ”

Mahrez replied with haughty eyes.

Xia Xing didn't speak.

β€œxia? xia? ”

"Huh?"

"What are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's my first time playing in the Premier League, it's a bit distracted."

"Haha, it's okay to be distracted now, just don't get distracted during the game."

Xia Xing smiled and waved his fist, expressing his confidence in this match.

In fact, he wasn't distracted just now, but the system suddenly came with a prompt sound.

[You have a new mission, please check!] 】

[Task 11: 1, the first game of the Premier League, defeat Everton; 2. There are goals or assists in this game. 】

[Mission time: Before the end of this game.] 】

[Reward: Andy van der Meyde card, Rank A.] 】

A temporary mission, Class A.

Andy van der Meyde, who is in the A-level, is a well-known talent in the Netherlands, but due to injury, he has not been able to realize his talent.

He debuted at the nuclear price, and was a world-famous supernova during the Ajax period, and in the 02-03 season, Ajax reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Van der Meyde's star is comparable to Van der Vaart, and surpasses teammates Sneijder, Ibrahimovic and other stars. He chose to join Inter Milan that summer and made the worst decision of his career. Under the devouring of the black hole of the star, he completely lost his form on the cold bench and finally chose to join Everton. However, due to injury, he played just 20 league games in four seasons at Everton before retiring at the age of 31.

Even so, he still left a deep impression on countless fans, and this A-level positioning is really a pity for him.

Ahead of the upcoming Premier League game against Everton, the system sent a message to the former Everton star, and it was appropriate.

And it's not a difficult task, win, then score and assist.

However, it is not easy.

You know, the opponent is Everton.

As fifth in the league last season, Everton are in good shape.

After David Moyes was poached by Manchester United, many fans predicted that Everton would sink.

But unexpectedly, the new coach Roberto Martinez saved the team.

In just one season, it took only one season for the team to make a record profit of 28.2 million pounds, and the turnover also increased to 125 million pounds, an increase of 39% over last season, and the club's brand has been greatly improved.

The biggest reason for this economic benefit is, of course, the excellent results.

Under Martinez's leadership, Everton finished fifth in the Premier League last season, breaking many of the club's long-standing records. This resulted in a direct share of Β£86 million in the club's televised broadcasts, and there was a huge surge in other related advertising revenues.

This season, they continue to recruit, spending 35 million euros to buy out Romelu Lukaku, keeping Manchester City's veteran midfielder Barry on loan for a zero transfer fee, Cameroon veteran Samuel Eto'o on a free transfer, wide attacker Besic for 4.8 million euros, and young striker Atsu on loan from Chelsea......

A wave of very targeted transfer operations, it can be seen that Everton's ambitions for the new season are not small.

Not only are they looking forward to a good result in the Premier League, but they are also hoping to make a breakthrough in the Europa League.

In the live broadcast room, the commentator is carefully introducing Everton's starting lineup.

In this game, Martinez continued his passionate attacking style of play.

"A 4-3-3 lineup,

"Goalkeeper Howard,

"The four defenders, Baynes, Distin, Giorgia and Stones,

"The midfielders Pinard, Barry and McCarthy,

"The front three is Naismith, Romelu Lukaku and McGeedy.

"There were also players on the bench such as Milaras, Samuel Eto'o, Ke Slow, Besic, Atsu and others.

"Since Martinez came in last season,

"Everton played a wonderful wave of attacking football.

"Don't fall behind in the hands of many giants,

"Especially the giant Manchester United, which was coached by the former manager,

It has made Martinez the object of worship by fans.

"They were in average form in the friendly games before the start of the season, but now they have adjusted.

"Lukaku's return in particular has skyrocketed Everton's attacking power.

"I'm sure they'll be able to play in the form they were from last season.

"Leicester's squad is much more modest today than Everton.

"It's still the same 4-4-2 formation that we used in the Championship last season.

"Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel,

"Four defenders from left to right: Delaette, Koncheski, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson,

"Four midfielders from left to right, Cambiaso, Drinkwater, Mahrez,

'The two strikers are Jamie Vardy and Ulloa.

"On the bench were Albrighton, James, Konokate, Schlupp, Hammond and others.

"The introduction of Ulloa at 7.5 million is Leicester City's biggest move this summer, and the follow-up surcharges are just over 10 million.

"And he's just a Championship striker.

"€2.5 million right-back Simpson has been in the starting line-up,

"Leicester City are really struggling.

"They were able to draw at home to Everton in this game, which is the biggest success......
