Chapter 132 A New Beginning

On August 16, Leicester City welcomed their first Premier League match.

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

Their team can finally play on the Premier League stage.

Just think about it, it's like a dream.

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

"Tommy, stay calm and don't be so excited."

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

"In the future, we can play in the Premier League every week, and we can also play in the Europa League, and we will definitely play in the Champions League in the future."

"Haha, just thinking about it makes me happy!"

The fans cheered and the Leicester City players were also very excited.

In the locker room, everyone chatted and rubbed their hands in anticipation of today's game.

Drinkwater patted his chest and told everyone: "We won this game! The first Premier League victory is guaranteed!"

James next to him asked: "Why?"

"Are you stupid?" De Laet glanced at James, "We just beat them in a friendly match a while ago, so of course we will win this game."

Drinkwater laughed: "That's right! They are just defeated, no problem!"

Morgan frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, the vice-captain Schmeichel next to him stopped him and whispered.

"Let's get everyone excited, it's okay. For the first Premier League game, confidence is more important than anything else."

Morgan nodded: "We will definitely beat our opponents."

"Did you hear that? The captain has spoken, hahahaha! We must win!" Drinkwater looked at several offensive players, "We are responsible for defense, you are responsible for scoring goals, and try to score more goals against them."

Vardy: "No problem!"

Mahrez answered him with an arrogant look.

Xia Xing didn't say anything.

"Xia? Xia?"

"Hmm?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's okay. It's my first time playing in the Premier League. I'm a little distracted."

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

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

In fact, he was not distracted just now, but the system suddenly sounded a prompt.

[You have a new task, please check! ]

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

[Task time: before the end of this game. ]

[Task reward: Andy van der Meyde card, A level. ]

A temporary task, A level.

Andy van der Meyde, A level, is a famous Dutch talent, but due to injuries, he failed to realize his talent.

He debuted in the nuclear price. He was a world-famous supernova during the Ajax period. In the 2002-03 season, Ajax reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Van der Meyde's star was comparable to Van der Vaart, and surpassed teammates Sneijder, Ibrahimovic and other stars. That summer, he chose to join Inter Milan and made the most wrong decision in his career. Under the swallowing of the star black hole, he completely lost his form on the bench and finally chose to join Everton. However, due to injuries, he only played 20 league games in Everton's four seasons and finally retired at the age of 31.

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

Before the upcoming Premier League game against Everton, the system sent a task from a former Everton star, which was just right.

And this task is not difficult, win the game, then score goals and assists.

However, it is not easy.

You have to know that the opponent is Everton.

As the fifth in the league last season, Everton is quite strong.

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

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

After taking office as Everton coach, it took only one season to make the team's profit reach a record high of 28.2 million pounds, and the turnover also increased to 125 million pounds, an increase of 39% over the previous season, and the club's brand was greatly improved.

The biggest reason for such economic benefits is of course the outstanding results.

Under Martinez's leadership, Everton played an impressive record last season, breaking many long-standing historical records of the club and finally ranking fifth in the Premier League. This allowed the club to directly share 86 million pounds in television broadcasts, and other related advertising revenues also surged significantly.

This season, they continued to recruit players, spending 35 million euros to buy out Lukaku, keeping the midfield veteran Barry who was loaned from Manchester City for 0 transfer fee, signing Cameroon veteran Eto'o as a free agent, buying the wing attacker Besic for 4.8 million euros, and loaning the young striker Atsu from Chelsea...

A wave of very targeted transfer operations, it can be seen that Everton has great ambitions for the new season.

They not only look forward to good results in the Premier League, but also hope 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 still continues his passionate offensive style of play,

"4-3-3 lineup,

"Goalkeeper Howard,

"Four defenders Baines, Distin, Jagielka and Stones,

"Three midfielders Pienaar, Barry and McCarthy,

"Three forwards Naismith, Lukaku and McGeady.

“There are also players like Miralas, Eto’o, Keman, Besic, Atsu and others sitting on the bench.

"Since Martinez took over last season,

"Everton just played some wonderful attacking football.

“Not falling behind in the battles with many wealthy families,

"Especially to beat the giant Manchester United coached by the former coach.

"It also made Martinez the object of worship among fans.

“Although they were in average shape in the friendly matches before the start of the season, they have adjusted now.

“Especially the return of Lukaku has greatly increased Everton’s attacking power.

“I believe they will be able to play the same form as last season in this game.

“Compared to Everton today, Leicester City’s lineup looked much plainer.

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

"Goalkeeper Schmeichel,

"The four defenders from left to right are De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, and Danny Simpson.

"The four midfielders are Xiao, Cambiaso, Drinkwater and Mahrez from left to right.

“The two strikers are Vardy and Ulloa.

“On the bench sat Albrighton, James, Conoket, Schlupp, Hammond and other players.

"The introduction of Ulloa for 7.5 million is Leicester City's biggest move this summer, and the subsequent additional costs are just over 10 million.

“And he’s just a Championship-level striker.

"Euro 2.5 million right-back Simpson has entered the starting lineup.

"Leicester City are really strapped for money.

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