The Premier League is at war.

Everton's first game against Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic had a thrilling relegation last season, ranked 17th in the league, and only scored 38 points, the same points as the relegated Sheffield United, but relying on the advantage of goal difference to escape relegation.

The team's head coach this season is British Chris Hetenings.

Football is like this. Big-name coaches put their own brand on the team. For example, Guardiola later, no matter where he goes, he is a technical football.

The unknown coach is like a dough, and the team is the mold.

Chris Hetenings came to Wigan Athletic, of course he can't change the team, only the team can change him.

The reason is very simple, he also wants to buy Ronaldinho, but...

Forget it, daydreams are still less done.

However, this Wigan Athletic has strengthened two powerful attackers.

One is the former Liverpool star, Emil Heskey, and the other is Antonio Valencia (later the Valencia of Manchester United)
Chris said that when he came to Goodison Park, the minimum goal was to score one point.

The two teams were friendly before the game.

Everton was sixth last season, Wigan Athletic is a relegation team, the two sides are not competitors at all.

Tang Zhenglong and Husky shook hands.

Moyes also gave Chris a hug.

Just as the two sides were waiting for the referee to whistle and kick off, there was a ding.

"A mission coming?"

Task: Collect ten jerseys (the numbers are from 1 to 10, the team is not limited, except for the team, it must be given by the other party voluntarily, and the snatching is not counted)
Reward: Ball Correction (once per game)
Punishment: none
Tang Zhenglong almost died of sweat.

"What is ball correction?"

"The ball path correction means that no matter how outrageous your shot is, how flying it is, it can hit the goal frame."

Depend on!
This is great.

It is easy for a professional player to draw a heavy cannon, but the hard part is not to miss it.

With this skill, you only need to exert force when shooting, and you don't need to worry about whether it will fly or not.

Tang Zhenglong understood that this is the same resident skill as shooting from the right side of the penalty area.

"Excellent, system, we will have more resident skills in the future."

"This system is very buddhist, and missions are based on fate."

puff! ! !
After accepting the task, the game began.

After much deliberation, Moyes still placed Tang Zhenglong at the right winger position, while the striker was a combination of Cahill and Yakubu.

What Moyes doesn't know is that Tang Zhenglong is only a threat in the penalty area, and Tang Zhenglong's speed is basically not used for breakthroughs.

After the game started, Wigan Athletic flinched.

The commentator of Sky Sports said with a smile: "Wigan Athletic should not want to be so thrilling this season. Last season, they were relegated by one point."

Those who play in the Premier League and the British Championship will have a huge difference in income.

Many teams that fell into the British Championship never came back, mainly due to financial deterioration.

Because they have no money, their grades are poor, and because of their poor grades, they can't make money, which eventually forms a vicious circle.

On Everton's side, standing behind the two forwards was Spaniard Mikel Arteta.

Arteta has delicate footwork, good passing ability, and can deliver shells to his striker teammates.

Under normal circumstances, Everton's midfielders do not have the priority to fire, and Moyes still hopes to leave the fire to the two forwards.

Behind Arteta are Neville, Jagielka and Lee Carsley.

This trio has a tough style of play and a balanced offense and defense. They provide the hardness of Everton's midfield.

Further back, the twin-tower central defender combination of Yabo and Lescott is enough to deal with the threat of high-altitude balls. Next to them is the left back Baines, and the right back is Tony Hibbert.

In the first 15 minutes of the first half, both sides were testing, and Wigan Athletic's formation shrunk very much. However, when the game progressed to 20 minutes, Arteta seized the opportunity and picked a pass into the penalty area to Yakubu.

The Nigerian leaned on the opponent's defender and volleyed with his left foot.
The ball went flying.

There was a bang at Goodison Park.

"Everton just missed the first goal of the new season."

Soon, Cahill also got a chance to shoot, but it flew directly again.

Chris Hertenings smiled. This was actually arranged by him specially. During the pre-match training, he told his players that he could give the opponent the right to fire the first shot, but he must not be passed.

The reason why he dared to do this was because Chris estimated that the Everton striker was not the top striker in the world.

Just imagine, if you are facing Eto'o, then Wigan Athletic must not dare to give the opponent the right to fire.

For top forwards, the first touch is enough, Henry, Bergkamp.

Soon, Moyes also saw it.

Assistant Alan Irwin came over.

"The opponent is obviously giving us the first kick."

Moyes smiled wryly: "This cannot be blamed on the opponent. If we have Inzaghi, would the opponent dare to do this?"

Just as Moyes and Erwin sighed, Tang Zhenglong appeared out of nowhere.

"Boss, what Inzaghi do you want! I am Inzaghi."

……

Black lines appeared on the foreheads of Moyes and Erwin.

"Don, it's a game now, why did you get out of the sideline?"

"I'll drink some water."

……

"Don, did you play like this in Cologne?"

"no."

Moyes thought that was fine.

"I was on the front line in Cologne, so the opposing defenders would talk to me. If you play me as a winger, I don't have a chance to chat."

……

Moyes couldn't believe his ears.

Think about it, Chelsea signed the top scorer in the UEFA Cup and gave Everton half a year for free. What kind of bicycle does this need?

So Moyes didn't examine Tang Zhenglong in detail at all.

just now……

"Don, you have to change, you have to follow the tactics, or I will replace you right away."

Tang Zhenglong nodded honestly.

"Oh, then I'm going back."

"Alan, why do I feel that Chelsea is harming us?"

"No, I don't want our money."

"That's true." Moyes nodded. I really don't know why Mourinho is interested in Tang Zhenglong.
At the end of the first half, Everton and Wigan Athletic had a 7-1 shot ratio, but the score was 0-0.

Wigan Athletic's tactical execution was very successful.

"David had to figure it out in the second half or they wouldn't be knocking on Wigan Athletic's door."

The fans at Goodison Park are a bit dissatisfied, but no one has booed yet, maybe the new season has just started, and it will take time.

In the locker room, a heated debate broke out among the players, and the focus of everyone's debate turned out to be Tang Zhenglong.

Gravesen asked Moyes to replace Tang Zhenglong and replace himself, because Tang Zhenglong didn't run at all on the pitch.
