Chapter 0131, the first game of the Premier League
In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, the two commentators of the day are Premier League legends.
Alan Shearer and Carragher.
It's not an exaggeration to say they're Premier League legends.
Alan Shearer is a Premier League legend and England national team legend, Premier League champion, Premier League Golden Boot, and top scorer in the European Cup...... Numerous honors, coupled with his hard-working style and straightforward and sincere character, have made him an idol for many fans.
Carragher is also an England legend, having captained Liverpool as vice-captain and the second-most-capped star in the Champions League, UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, League Cup...... The 11 golden trophies are his glory.
After retiring, both were invited to become commentators and commentators on Sky TV.
Alan Shearer is calm and analytical, while Carragher is sharp and passionate.
The duo is Sky TV's signature.
The two had just commented on two games a day earlier.
Newcastle lost 2-0 to defending champions Manchester City and Liverpool won 2-1 at home to Southampton.
Seeing Liverpool win, Carragher was in a good mood and was excited all day today.
But Alan Shearer wasn't in a good mood.
Because Newcastle and Southampton, who lost, were both places where Alan Shearer fought.
He started his career at Southampton and had a stellar career at Newcastle.
He has a deep affection for both teams.
Seeing that Carragher was in a good mood, Alan Shearer didn't say anything, but he was not in a good mood.
And when he heard Carragher say that "they can draw at home to Everton in this game, even if it is the biggest success...... Alan Shiler couldn't help it.
"Man, you're too dismissive of Leicester City, aren't you?"
"What? What do you mean, do you have a good impression of this team? ”
'How can I not have a crush on a team that has gone to the Premier League and won the FA Cup on the FA stage?'
"Okay, I'll admit you're right, but they're there. You can't always hope for a group of players who have been abandoned by other small teams, how strong the Premier League fighting power can be, right? This is not the Championship. ”
"Other small teams? I listen to what you mean, as if you're dissing someone. ”
"That's right, it's Manchester United! They're a small team in my mind! ”
"Well, I don't care about the grudge between you, I'm more interested in Leicester City in this game anyway."
"So you're rooting for Leicester City?"
"You seem to be guiding me, huh? I'm not going to do it. I don't support it, but I'm looking forward to Leicester's performance as a new Premier League team, and I'm looking forward to a lot of Leicester's players. ”
"For example?"
"For example, the combination of the strong Ulloa and the fast Mavaldi, as well as the wings of Mahrez and Xia, are very interesting."
'Well, I don't want to spoil you right now, but a team at the level of the Championship like Leicester, I think they have to prove that they deserve to play in the Premier League first.'
In the face of a team composed of many Manchester United veterans, Carragher has always spoken sharply and unkindly.
At this time, the players of both sides have entered, the referee's whistle blows, and the game begins!
As soon as the game started, Everton launched a single-handed onslaught!
Veteran Barry controlled the ball steadily in the middle, giving Pinar and McCarthy successive transitions!
Suddenly a diagonal pass!
McGiddy catches the ball on the right flank!
In the face of Delaette's grab, Megdie, who had an excellent pass, decisively knocked it cross!
Lukaku in the middle squeezes Koncheski away and shoots with his feet!
The ball slides out of the goal!
It's just a little bit off!
Right from the start, Everton played a dangerous attack.
Schmeichel tosses the ball to right-back Simpson and Simpson plays a short ball forward.
Unlike Moore's style of rushing forward when he receives the ball, Simpson is more solid defensively.
Mahrez, who received the ball, accelerated with the ball!
Pienal and Baines stepped forward to defend the ball.
Mahrez had no room to move forward and opted for a cross-knock.
Cambiaso, in the middle, receives the ball and passes forward to Jamie Vardy.
Everton defence was solid, the distance was reasonable, and Jamie Vardy didn't have much room to sprint.
He passed to Ulloa, who forced his foot to volley from the top of the box.
The ball was tackled by defender John Stones.
Everton's attack again.
This time the ball went to the left.
Pienal receives the ball and accelerates, and Mahrez returns to defense!
Knock it horizontally to Barry, and Barry pushes diagonally!
Pinar catches the ball again!
Mahrez was thrown off!
Simpson stepped up, but this time Pienal didn't seek any more cooperation.
Direct diagonal 45-degree cross!
Find Romelu Lukaku!
Lukaku crashed into Koncheski again!
"Header!
"The ball goes straight to the far corner!
Schmeichel jumped up and punched the ball out!
"It's hanging!
"In the first five minutes, Everton created two dangerous attacks!
"Although we haven't scored yet, Everton's quality advantage is obvious!
"As a new Premier League player, Leicester City are still far from it!
'It's going to be hard for them to keep the draw in this game.
"Although I am also less interested in Everton,
"But I'm still optimistic that they will win this game easily.
"I predict at least 3-0 in this game!"
Carragher's voice was sharp, and many fans in front of the TV were scolding him.
The main thing is that both sides of this game are indifferent to him, and even very unhappy.
Needless to say, Everton and Liverpool have a naked hatred of the same city, and they naturally don't like the former Liverpool veterans.
The Leicester fans were originally unimpressed, but Carragher blindly belittled their team, which caused Leicester City fans to scold.
Compared to Carragher, Alain Hiller next to him is much more likable.
'Everton's two attacks just now were really good and Romelu Lukaku showed the quality of a top striker.
"They deserved to be fifth in the Premier League last season, so they have a lot of quality.
"But just now Leicester City's passing and defense are also very solid, and there are a lot of bright spots."
Alan Shearer's words were not polite.
Although Leicester City was attacked twice by Everton just now, they did not give the opponent an absolute chance.
On the first attempt, Lukaku had lost his angle and forced his feet to no avail.
The second header, which was also a chance for Pinar to continue forward, chose to cross at an angle of 45 degrees.
While Romelu Lukaku's headers were of high quality, Leicester's defending in the box was no short either.
For the first game of the Premier League, Leicester City first defended solidly.
For example, in the attack just now, except for the two strikers, only Mahrez was involved in the attack.
Even Xia defended in midfield.
Pearson kept shouting at his team from the sidelines.
Gesture down to keep reminding.
Be steady!
Be more stable!
Today our opponents are very strong!
Make sure you don't concede a goal first, and then think about the attack!
