Chapter 188: Swan Lake

(Welcome to join the exchange group of midfield masters and friends: 532028645)

After Xia Ze started extra training on Tuesday, he would stay in the club for an extra hour every day after training.

And Wang Xiaolin seemed to be concentrating on studying cooking skills, and didn't come to pick up Xia Ze, so Xia Ze had to go home alone.

A few days have passed, and soon it will be Saturday again. Everton will face Swansea City, known as Swan Lake, at home.

Swansea City has an excellent league record this season, ranking fifth so far, and has a chance to compete for a place in the Champions League. Everton is currently only ranked 11th, and there is a gap of more than 10 points between Swansea City.

In the past week of training, Martinez has already determined the starting list for the match against Swansea City, and Xia Ze will be the midfielder.

This is a reward for his outstanding performance in the Manchester United game, and Pienaar, who was squeezed into the bench by him, has nothing to say. After all, Xia Ze's potential and ability are better than him.

On Saturday afternoon, Wang Xiaolin and her classmates came to Goodison Park Stadium together. Because of Xia Ze's relationship, their tickets were easily settled, and their seats were just behind the bench.

At this time, there was a lot of people outside the Goodison Park Stadium. This stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, is one of the oldest stadiums in England. It has a history of more than 120 years and can be said to be a legend in the football world.

And there's one thing about it that's different, not that it's the world's first purpose-built football stadium, but it's about its lawn.

The lawn of the Goodison Park stadium is placed on a huge slate, and the cross-section of the protruding stone slab is densely engraved with the names of countless people. Only the names of traditional senior fans are eligible to be engraved on the cross-section of the lawn.

For example, a fan family rents a certain box in the stadium stand for generations, and a certain fan has to reserve a certain position in the stand for every game...

Like a hall of fame, Goodison Park records the history of their loyal fans.

On the periphery of the stadium, Everton fans in blue jerseys were talking loudly. Wang Xiaolin and her classmates didn't put on jerseys outside their bloated clothes for the sake of their appearance, but wore them inside their coats.

Wang Xiaolin is naturally wearing the No. 20 jersey with her boyfriend's name on it.

And several of her classmates have different jersey numbers because they are already loyal to Everton. Some are No. 4 Gibson, some are Captain Baines, and some are Miralas...

In short, on the outside of the stadium, every Everton player's jersey can be seen.

But among such fans, you can still see many people wearing the brand new No. 20 jersey, which is Xia Ze's jersey number.

It is also because of Xia Ze's outstanding performance in the last game against Manchester United, which conquered these Toffee fans and made his jersey sales soar this week.

Seeing so many people wearing her boyfriend's No. 20 jersey, Wang Xiaolin is also quite proud.

In the locker room, Martinez explained to everyone the tactics that had already been rehearsed, and all the players were also listening to and organizing their equipment.

The warm-up is over, and there are still 10 minutes until the kick-off time. Xia Ze is sitting in his seat, but the feeling in his heart is a little hard to express.

This is not the first time he has started for the team at Goodison Park, but it is the first time he has dealt with this game with such a relaxed mood.

Because of the poor state of the first game, when he started the second game at home, the pressure was heavy, and the weather was cloudy and rainy.

Now that he had already got rid of his inner demons last week, the weather today is also beautiful, the sun is shining brightly, the temperature is not warm, but it is not bitterly cold, which is of great benefit to his performance.

The most important thing is that teammates have the knowledge and trust in their own strength, then he can take over the game as a controller.

At any time, he wants to be the one who decides the outcome of the game. He may not be able to do this with his current strength, but he must give himself confidence.

In this game, Martinez arranged him as the core of the frontcourt attack, Barry was responsible for sorting out the midfield and backcourt, and he was responsible for the frontcourt series attack and passing key balls.

The opponent he faced in this game also made him quite admirable. One and a half years ago, he was still admiring the players of Swansea City, but one and a half years later, he faced such an opponent again.

The same as last time, Swansea City is definitely not the one to mess with. They can beat Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester United to rank fifth in the league, and they are also chasing Arsenal, who is fourth, which shows their strength. .

Moreover, the opponent's away record ranks second in the Premier League, which also makes the team quite afraid.

Walking into the player tunnel, Xia Ze saw several players who had met a year and a half ago. The players in Swansea City were very impressed with Xia Ze at that time. Drup's signing of Xia Ze was only a deal finalized by Maritimo earlier, and Xia Ze just missed Swansea City.

Now that Xia Ze has made a name for himself in the last game, he is also well-known in the Premier League. Of course, these Swansea City players remember him, and they came over to say hello to him.

This move not only surprised Everton's teammates, but even Xia Ze himself was slightly surprised.

It's just that he played a good half-time goal, and he has already become famous in the Premier League? If this performance is maintained, what will happen next?

Of course, this is just his own imagination, and no one knows that under Xia Ze's resolute gaze is such an idea.

Following behind the captain Bynes, Xia Ze appeared in Goodison Park, and the 40,000 jerseys on the field cheered in unison, cheering for the next fierce game.

Xia Ze stepped on the turf, looking at the cheering Everton fans in the stands, he was also very excited.

If the last game was a game for him to prove himself, then this game is an important game to establish his core position in Everton.

When the host at the scene introduced the starting lineup, he read the name of every Everton player, and there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

When Xia Ze's name was pronounced, the host's voice was deliberately higher than before, and the ending sound was very long.

The cheers from the fans at the scene were even louder. It seemed that Toffee fans liked this Chinese player who had just joined the team.

Hearing the cheers from tens of thousands of home fans, Xia Ze felt his blood rushing.

Standing in the center of the court with his head held high, Xia Ze looked around, waiting for the opponent to kick off.

In this match, he met Swan Lake again, but can he become famous like last time?
