Chapter 395 Newcomer New Season

The Premier League is generally the earliest start of the five major leagues. Everton's first Premier League game is on August 8.

Home game against Wigan Athletic.

Starting in August, the main players of the team began to return to the team one after another.

The number of people at Finch Farm Training Base gradually increased.

Everton is not considered a giant in the Premier League, but they don't need to worry about relegation. They belong to the upper mid-range team.

When you play well, you can touch the tail of the giants, but if you play badly, it is normal to be out of ten.

The team led by Moyes is pretty good in the midfield, but what bothers him is the forward line.

Four forwards, Victor Anichebe, Andrew Johnson, James Wogan, Yakubu.

Except for Yakubu's higher level, the rest can't meet Moyes' requirements at all, but there is no way. Now, good strikers in the Premier League are not so easy to buy even if they have money.

For example, Rooney was trained by Everton, but Manchester United gave him a sneak peek, and Fatty made a fuss about leaving.

The Premier League is like this, the weak eat the strong, without the slightest warmth.

In this regard, Moyes has nothing to do. If he leads the team with poor results, then the club cannot be so polite to him.

Despite the shortage of strikers on hand, Moyes is still not optimistic about Tang Zhenglong.

The reason is simple. The Premier League is different from the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga, a player can still rely on dexterity to make a living, but the Premier League?

Don't think about it without a strong physical confrontation.

How many top-notch players have had their dreams crushed in the Premier League, the most typical being the Uruguayan marksman Forlan.

He played so well in La Liga, but his years at Manchester United were abysmal.

So after seeing Tang Zhenglong's physical confrontation, Moyes was convinced that this was just a transaction from the club's top management. There might be some benefits, but it was definitely not on the court.

Moyes divided the players into two groups, those who had just returned to training at a lower intensity, while those who had been back for more than a week began training at a normal intensity.

This is done to avoid injury to the players.

In just a few days, Tang Zhenglong got acquainted with several teammates, and the best relationship was goalkeeper Howard and Dutchman Van der Meyer.

Andy van der Meyde, like Tang Zhenglong, is a newcomer. As a foreigner, he feels more familiar.

"Andy, pass me the ball."

Van der Meyde sent a short pass and Tang Zhenglong scored the goal.

"Tim, your saving skills are not good."

"Hahaha."

"Fuck you, such a close-range shot, Schmeichel came, and he just raised his hands and surrendered."

"Hahaha."

At this moment, Howard winked, "The boss is here."

The boss in Howard's mouth is not Moyes, but the boss on the court, the core of the team's midfield and backcourt, former Manchester United player Phil Neville.

He and Gary Neville, who played for Manchester United, are two brothers.

Phil moved to Everton two years ago and quickly became the team's main midfielder.

"Phil." Howard greeted proactively.

Neville saw Tang Zhenglong and Van der Meyde.

"Hello."

"Hi, Phil."

After a few simple greetings, Neville ran to another group and started jogging.

On August 8th, there is still a week before the start of the new season. Moyes estimates that the players have almost adapted, and it is time for a formal group confrontation.

The team was divided into several groups for five-on-five confrontation, and Moyes scattered several newcomers into several groups for separate observation.

The first is Gravesen who entered the palace for the second time.

The Dane has played for Real Madrid, and his experience is the team's greatest wealth, but his physical fitness has declined too quickly, and he is no longer the same as Gravesen back then.

This is the case for players who rely on their bodies for food, and Moyes understands this very well.

For example, Keane of Manchester United was like a dragon when he was young, but as he grew older, his temper was still so strong, but his ability was long gone, and he was finally kicked out by Sir Alex.

Moyes began to observe Van der Meyde again.

Van der Meyde made his debut in the Dutch giants Ajax, known as the Dutch Flying Wings, but in Inter Milan, Van der Meyde's growth encountered obstacles, and even regressed. The introduction of him was also a gamble.

If it succeeds, it will make money, but Moyes feels that it still needs to be observed, but on the training ground, Van der Meyde did not show the level of flying wings.

The other is Tang Zhenglong.

The top scorer in the UEFA Cup, the top scorer in the Asian Cup, Chelsea.

If you just look at these titles, then Tang Zhenglong is undoubtedly the most anticipated, but Moyes looked at Tang Zhenglong's training, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Moyes called his assistant Alan Irwin over, "Alan, go and tell Tang Zhenglong to run, he may still be in the slow pace of the previous few days."

Erwin ran over, then back again.

"David, Tang Zhenglong said he is fully fired."

……

Moyes had a black line on his forehead.

"Does he think I'm blind?"

"He was walking."

Erwin Khan, "But he really said so."

"Okay, I'll tell it myself."

Moyes walked quickly to Tang Zhenglong's side, "Tang, you have to run, the league starts in one week."

"Boss, I've run a lot, it's my style of play."

"Don't tell me, that's how you trained in Cologne?"

"Do not."

Moyes thought, "It's fine."

"I have a chair in Cologne."

……

Moyes had a foul word in his mind, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Don, you can't do this. This is the Premier League, not the Bundesliga. You have to run, just like everyone else."

Tang Zhenglong looked at Moyes and said, "Boss, don't the Bundesliga and the Premier League count as a point for kicking the ball into the goal?"

"Could it be that the Premier League counts points by running?"

"of course not."

"That's it. I'm a striker. As long as I score goals every game, it doesn't matter how much I run."

Moyes was stunned.

just you?

Still scoring goals?
"Don, if you don't run hard, how can you have a chance to score?"

"Boss, everyone says I am Inzaghi, I think you should design a style of play around me."

"..."

Moyes has a feeling that he has seen him for a long time. It's not that he has never seen a bad boy. Rooney is a thorn, but compared with Tang Zhenglong, Rooney is a good boy.

Moyes felt that it was necessary to let Tang Zhenglong know how powerful he was.

"Tang, there will be an 11-on-11 intra-team match tomorrow. I want to see your strength."

"no problem."

Moyes patted Tang Zhenglong on the shoulder and left.

"Alan, come here."

"What is it, David?"

"Find out Tang Zhenglong's game data for me. I'm very curious now, how he scored those goals."

"Okay, David."
