Although Xia Ze has only played two games in the Premier League, many media still compare him with Ai Huang, who played for Manchester United, and think that the performance of the two in the Premier League is very different.

Ai Huang has played well at Manchester United this season. Despite the team's poor record, he is still one of the few bright spots and is even considered the number one player in Chinese football.

The media originally had great expectations for Xia Ze, but at this time, his poor performance in two consecutive games made the British media quite disappointed with him, criticizing him one after another, putting Xia Ze under a lot of pressure.

In Liverpool, Xia Ze and Wang Xiaolin's home, the two are wrapped in quilts, watching a TV series on the sofa. Although there were bursts of laughter coming from the TV, Xia Ze's expression was depressed and he couldn't get any energy up.

"Ze, don't worry, it will get better. When the weather is fine, you will be able to show your strength." Wang Xiaolin comforted from the side.

"Hey... If you can't even beat this rainy and snowy day, then what am I going to say about helping the national team rise?" Xia Ze sighed softly, looking at the rainy sky outside the window, still frowning.

"Don't be discouraged, it's just two games. You will definitely perform well in the next game!" Wang Xiaolin leaned over to the host Xia Ze and whispered in his ear.

"Whether I can play in tomorrow's game is still a problem. The head coach put me on the bench." Xia Ze still frowned and said dejectedly.

Looking at Xia Ze's painful expression, Wang Xiaolin couldn't help but twitched in her heart, her brows were also slightly frowned, and she pressed her face to comfort her frustrated husband gently.

Tens of kilometers away in Manchester, a young man covered in famous brands was standing in front of the window of his luxury apartment, watching the rain and snow outside the window, talking on the phone, with a sinister smile on his chiseled face meaning.

"Dad, that kid Xia Ze played very badly in England recently. As long as I help the team beat them in the next game, then I will be the number one star in Chinese football!" The young man said in a confident and even arrogant voice Say.

"Well, behave well, I'm here to help you build momentum through the media, and I will definitely not give that kid a chance to stand up!" A thick middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I will. The coach of tomorrow's game has promised me to start the game. I will prove to the fans all over the world that I, Ai Huang, are the number one star in Chinese football!"

It turned out that the young man was Ai Huang.

At this moment, he gritted his teeth and looked out the window, remembering the scene of Xia Ze stealing the limelight at the Asian Cup half a month ago, he felt angry and hated.

"Don't worry, no matter what, Dad will help you get the No. 10 jersey of the national team. Our Ai family members are absolutely no worse than anyone else!" Ai Huang's father on the other end of the phone vowed, these words are magnificent, There is a great momentum to give up.

"Well, thank you dad." Ai Huang was overjoyed when he got his father's promise.

After hanging up the phone, Ai Huang turned around, took out a dart and threw it at the wall! There was a poster of a player on the wall, and a few darts were inserted into the poster at this time. The player was Xia Ze.

"Xia Ze, I will prove to you that I am number one in China!"

...

On Sunday, February 14th, the fifth round of the FA Cup will kick off, and 16 teams will fight each other to compete for the quarter-finals. Among them, the most eye-catching one is Manchester United's home game against Everton at Old Trafford.

The reason why this game is concerned is not only the influence of the two teams in the Premier League and even world football, but also because this game is related to the fate of a person.

Van Gaal, the helm of Manchester United in the post-Ferguson era, took charge of Manchester United after Moyes got out of class, but the performance of leading the team was not ideal after all. The league was only hovering in the fourth or fifth place. satisfactory.

In this season's competition, the League Cup was eliminated early, the Premier League has long since fallen behind, there is no hope of winning the championship, and even the Champions League seats are in jeopardy. But in just one and a half years, the Manchester United dynasty is in danger of collapsing.

The most criticized part of Van Gaal is that he spent a lot of money, but failed to establish a complete tactical system. Every game was played in a disorganized manner, and even some fans had already chanted to let Van Gaal get out of class.

For Van Gaal, this FA Cup game must be won.

A week ago, Xia Ze started for Everton for the first time, and his performance was poor. He also started the game in the middle of the week, and his performance was not satisfactory, which disappointed the fans who had great expectations for him.

In this game, Xia Ze was selected into the team's squad, but he was on the bench and went to Manchester with the team.

Liverpool is only more than 50 kilometers away from Manchester. After lunch, the team took the bus to Manchester. The weather is still gloomy today, and the sun has not been seen for a week.

Xia Ze sat on the bus with Gibson beside him. He frowned and looked at the scenery outside the window, full of thoughts.

"Darren, how long have you been playing for Manchester United?" Xia Ze looked back and asked Gibson beside him.

"Um... I joined Manchester United at the age of 17 and left three years ago, maybe eight years. Why do you ask this?" Gibson looked at Xia Ze and said with some doubts.

"What's it like playing at Old Trafford?" Xia Ze said with longing eyes.

He has dreamed of playing at Old Trafford since he was a child and he is now very close to that dream, albeit playing for Everton.

"Um...Old Trafford is the best stadium in Europe. It feels great to play there, if you are a home team player." Gibson looked ahead, and his thoughts seemed to go back to a few years ago when he played for Manchester United Time in the Premier League Champions League.

"What about being an away player?"

"For visiting team players, that may be the most uncomfortable home game in the world. Before we went to Old Trafford, we basically lost without a game." The captain Baines in front also joined the conversation.

"However, after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United's home game is not so scary. Today we are going to win!" Jagelka, who was sitting next to Baines, said confidently.

Xia Ze looked at the confident teammates around him, and he felt confident in victory. Although Manchester United is his favorite team, he is now playing for Everton, and it is his duty to help Everton win.

In fact, on this bus, several players have played for Manchester United, including Gibson and goalkeeper Howard. Captain Baines also had a "scandal" with Manchester United, and almost joined the Red Devils last summer. c
