After the training, Xia Ze spent two days with Wang Xiaolin, and finally opened and read the more than one hundred letters. They replied to most of the letters, only some were not very friendly. Both Xia Ze and Wang Xiaolin decided not to reply to them.

After processing the letters, the time came to Wednesday, April 22. Everton will go to an away game against West Bromwich Albion, this is the thirty-fourth round of the Premier League.

Before this make-up match, Everton played one game less and ranked sixth, five points behind fifth-placed Tottenham and seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

If they win this game, they will once again approach the top four positions, and the competition for the Champions League seats will become more intense.

Although Xia Ze didn't show much in the last game, Martinez still put him in the starting lineup.

For Everton now, Xia Ze really feels indispensable.

Barkley played well at Chelsea, and as his replacement, Xia Ze played equally well at Everton.

This is the most gratifying place for Everton fans. At least the team no longer laments the loss of a talent.

And the happiest is none other than the top management of Everton. Because they saw the team's financial report for the previous quarter, the numbers were much brighter than previous quarters.

Xia Ze's appearance gave the team a place in the jersey sales rankings.

According to statistics, Xia Ze's jersey sales rank third among Premier League players, only behind the two newly promoted Manchester United players, Di Maria and Falcao.

Manchester United's dominance and global influence in the Premier League is destined to be difficult for anyone to shake the position of their players.

But Xia Ze, as an Everton player, is only a player of a mid-range Premier League team, but he was able to rank third in the jersey sales list, which shows the huge Chinese market.

In addition to ranking third in jersey sales, there are also much more business cooperation and sponsorship from China than in the previous season. Moreover, there are still several commercial cooperations being discussed, and even the summer warm-up match is very likely to be held in China.

These commercial cooperations have brought Everton an additional income of tens of millions of pounds, and with Xia Ze's performance getting better and better, there will be an increasing trend in the future.

Everton chairman Kennett has made a decision long ago,

A talented player like Xia Ze must be firmly tied to the Everton ship, and no matter how much the other giants pay, they will not sell it.

The club's top management is already considering renewing Xia Ze's contract and raising his salary. If Martinez didn't think it was inappropriate to renew his contract with a salary increase so soon, so as not to change Xia Ze's mentality, Kennett would have contacted Tenonio a long time ago.

...

The game on Wednesday is an away game against West Bromwich Albion. The West Bromwich Albion Football Club is located in West Bromwich Albion City in central England. The home field is the Hawthorn Stadium, which can accommodate 26,500 spectators. This stadium capacity , Among the Premier League clubs, it should be considered relatively small.

Although the capacity of the Shanzhai Stadium is small, it is almost full. West Bromwich Albion's record is not outstanding, but they have a group of diehard fans, no matter what the team's record is, they always stand behind the team and support it.

This is the most admirable part of football fans. Whether it is the Premier League or other places, once you fall in love with a team, it is difficult to support other teams.

West Bromwich Albion is currently in the middle of the Premier League rankings, there is no worry about relegation, and it is impossible to compete for a European seat. It can be said that there is no desire and no desire.

Everton currently needs to compete for a place in the Champions League. Of course, they came to the Hawthorn Stadium hoping to take away three points.

But although West Bromwich Albion have no desires, their lineup is not weak. With the addition of home games, Everton will not be easy to play in this game.

West Bromwich Albion has former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster, midfielder Fletcher, and Berahino who has performed well this season. These players can cause enough trouble for Everton.

Xia Ze felt bursts of excitement at the thought of fighting against a midfielder like Fletcher. Although I have played tricks with famous generals, I will encounter them almost every weekend.

Not to mention the rich teams, even the middle and lower reaches of the team, there are also a few well-known generals in the team.

For example, Darren Fletcher in this field, Cambiasso of Leicester City, O'Shea and Brown of Sunderland, Charlie Adam of Stoke City, these are all well-known stars in world football.

Every time Xia Ze played against different stars, it seemed like he was dreaming.

And beating the teams where these stars belong is the biggest motivation for Xia Ze.

In this game against West Bromwich Albion, Everton has carried out several position rotations. After all, three days later, there is another league game to be played. Now every league game cannot be lost. The team must Make sure there is enough energy in each position.

Xia Ze, as a midfielder, played against Fletcher in this game. It was different from the match against Gerrard in the previous game. Fletcher's sense of defensive position and fighting were more aggressive.

In the past, Fletcher was the defensive barrier of Manchester United's midfielder, and he was known for his fierce defense.

Although after a strange disease, his physical fitness is far from what it used to be, but his experience and ability have still allowed West Bromwich Albion's defensive ability to a higher level.

And West Bromwich Albion's defenders are all big men over 1.9 meters. Even Lukaku, who is known as a little monster, can't take too much advantage of the opponent's tall defenders.

Coupled with the fact that goalkeeper Ben Foster is good at saving balls, it makes West Bromwich Albion's defense like an impenetrable wall.

The first half of the game was extremely difficult. Although Xia Ze helped Everton control the midfield, he kept knocking on the door of West Bromwich Albion. On the contrary, it was West Bromwich Albion's several counterattacks, and Berahino almost put Everton into despair.

After adjustments in the second half, Everton's offensive improved slightly, but it was still unable to score.

At the last moment, Xia Ze won a free kick from outside the penalty area. Bynes personally took the penalty. After refraction, the ball fortunately pierced through the gate guarded by Ben Foster. Everton narrowly beat West Bromwich Albion with one goal. .

This difficult game made Xia Ze realize that there are no underdogs in the Premier League. Even if the opponent has no desires, but if you want to take away three points at the opponent's home court, it will be forever if you don't put in twelve points. Impossible to win.

After winning this game, Everton's sixth position has become more stable, only four points away from the top four, and the last three rounds of the league are left. c
