d (Welcome to the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group: 532028645)

On the first day of training at Everton, Xia Ze saw the strength of Premier League players. They can gain a foothold in the Premier League not only because they have their own specialties, but also because they have a strong adaptability to the rhythm of the game.

The reason why the Premier League is considered the first league is not only the success of commercial promotion, but the rhythm of the game and the strength of each team are very similar.

In the past, there have been many scenes where the bottom team overthrew the leader. Although this can also be seen in other leagues, the chance of upset is definitely not as high as the Premier League.

This is not to say that the strong teams in the Premier League have no strength, but that the competitiveness and combat effectiveness of each team are amazing.

After several days of training, Xia Ze slowly adapted to the rhythm of training. If he was in the Portuguese Super League, he could have two or three seconds or more observation time when he was holding the ball in midfield, but now he only has one second or less time.

And this is just team training. If there is an official game, I believe the pace will be faster.

Although Xia Ze marveled at the strength of his teammates, in fact, their teammates were shocked by Xia Ze's skills and passing ability as a Chinese player.

Originally, they were a little puzzled by Xia Ze's choice of the No. 20 jersey. After they practiced together for a few days, they realized that Xia Ze's strength was indeed worthy of this jersey.

Everton will challenge Stoke City in an away game on the weekend. Stoke-on-Trent, where Stoke City is located, is about 100 kilometers away from Liverpool. Usually, when going out, they take the train. .

In this game, Xia Ze was selected into the team's starting list, which made him quite surprised and eager to try. Because it was Saturday, Wang Xiaolin also went to the away game with several classmates to cheer for Xia Ze.

This game will be Xia Ze's debut in the Premier League. After only one week in the team, he got the chance to start the game, which is enough to show that the coaching staff headed by Martinez attaches great importance to him.

The news that Xia Ze won the No. 20 jersey came out a few days ago, which made the Premier League pay attention to this new Everton aid.

Because Ai Huang performed well at Manchester United this season and often got the chance to play in rotation, which also made the media pay more attention to the power from China.

On February 7th, Saturday, the weather was a bit gloomy. Xia Ze followed the team and went to the away game together to challenge Stoke City.

Stoke City has the title of Sky City in the Premier League.

Although after Mark Hughes took over two years ago, the team worked hard to change the route of ground coordination.

However, their power in the air has not been weakened, and their average height is over 185. If you pick any one out, they are taller than Xia Ze.

This is a huge test for Xia Ze. Whether he can gain a foothold in the Premier League depends on whether he can withstand the attack of Stoke City's meat wall.

After more than an hour's journey, Xia Ze and the team appeared on the periphery of Stoke City's home court.

The red and white exterior wall of this stadium is not very grand, but it makes people look excited.

The Britannia Stadium was completed in 1997. It is a relatively new stadium in Europe. It can accommodate more than 28,000 people and all the facilities are relatively new.

On the periphery of the stadium, Stoke City fans wearing Stoke City's red and white striped shirts have gathered together, chatting and drinking.

Although February is still very cold and the weather today is a bit gloomy, some of these fans are shirtless and are not afraid of the cold wind at all.

Looking at the bustling scene outside the stadium, Xia Ze couldn't help feeling a little excited. Although the scene outside the stadium is also the same on the match day of the Portuguese Super League, there is another indescribable feeling here.

This is like a scene that I could only see on TV before, but now I am personally on the scene.

As the team entered the locker room, Xia Ze felt that it was different from the Dos Barreiros stadium where he was before.

Everything in this stadium is well organized, with white walls, clean and bright floors, spacious and bright bathrooms...

In the dressing room of the visiting team, all the equipment is ready, and there is no slight at all because Everton is a guest. This may also be one of the reasons why the Premier League can be welcomed all over the world.

Sitting in his seat, Xia Ze organized his equipment and went to the venue to warm up. There is still an hour before the game, but he can no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

There were red seats in the stands, and fans entered the stadium one after another. Although the stadium is not full, after half an hour, there will be more than 28,000 fans witnessing Xia Ze's premiere in the Premier League.

There is a separation zone of three to four meters between the grass and the stands. At this time, there are not many stadium security guards, and the fans sitting in the nearest stadium stand are watching the players on both sides warming up quite quietly behind the billboards. , although they only need one step, they can cross the billboard less than one meter and enter the venue.

Xia Ze looked at the surrounding fans. Although they were right in front of him, none of them disturbed the warm-up of the players on both sides. Even the Everton players, the Stoke City fans were very polite to them.

During the warm-up time of more than half an hour, the fans in the stands were gradually full. Xia Ze also found Wang Xiaolin. Together, cheer for yourself.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the 25th round of the 2014-15 Premier League season between Stoke City and Everton at home. I am Jimmy Redknapp. Colleague Gary Neville."

In a studio in the UK, a handsome middle-aged man appeared in front of the camera, behind him was a huge glass window, and outside was the whole view of the Britannia Stadium. The players of Everton and Stoke City had already Line up.

Beside him is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, former Manchester United captain Gary Neville.

"Gary, the starting lineup for this game is out. The Chinese player Xia Ze introduced by Everton in the winter will start the game. What do you expect from him?"

"We all know that Xia Ze, a player who almost joined Tottenham last summer, has also been recognized by Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Obviously he has strength."

Gary Neville analyzed, but his brows were slightly frowned: "It's just that he played in the Portuguese Super League before. The intensity of the game there is obviously not as good as the Premier League, and it is not as cold as England. If he can adapt in the Premier League, I believe he will be a good player."

"Indeed, this name is worth looking forward to, we can take a look together." After Redknapp finished speaking, the camera was given to the stadium. c
