"Everyone, welcome to the Premier League live broadcast brought to you by Sky Sports. This game is Everton playing Swansea City at Goodison Park at home. I am Jimmy Redknapp and I will comment with you There's also Alan Shearer and Peter Schmeichel in this match."

Redknapp's rather handsome face appeared in front of the TV screen, and beside him were two rather burly men in suits, naturally two football legends Shearer and Schmeichel.

"Before this game, Swansea City ranked 5th in the league, while Everton ranked 11th in the league. There is a 10-point gap between the two sides in the standings. I wonder what the two think about the outcome of this game?" After Redknapp introduced his partner, he immediately began to talk about this game.

"In fact, although there is a gap between the two sides in rankings and points, we all know that Everton's strength at home cannot be underestimated. It's just that their offensive ability was limited in the first half of the season, so they failed to win the game repeatedly. And Swan West City can suddenly emerge in this season's league, and there is still hope of competing for a place in the Champions League, largely due to their midfield performance, so the most important thing in this game is to see which team can win Midfield control." Alan Shearer shrugged and analyzed thoroughly.

"Alan is right. Both sides in this game are very solid in terms of defense. Although Everton is ranked in the bottom half of the league, they have not conceded many goals in the league, and the same is true for Swansea City. So as long as If one side can control the ball in the midfield, it will definitely be able to face the opponent with an overwhelming advantage." Schmeichel also agreed with Shearer.

"Then which side do you think Everton or Swansea City can gain possession of the midfield today?" Redknapp smiled and guided the two.

"Today's midfield competition will be fierce, but I believe that Swansea City's offensive and defensive ends are more balanced, and Shelvey has played very well this season. I believe they can beat Everton away." Schmeichel took the lead in expressing himself the opinion of.

"I don't agree with Peter's statement. You must know that Everton just beat Manchester United last week, and they are still at Old Trafford. Their morale is now high. Chinese player Xia Ze seems to have adapted to the Premier League. Fulton sits at home and will definitely not give up the victory, I am optimistic about them." Alan Shearer immediately retorted.

"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's see who wins and who loses after 90 minutes." Redknapp immediately guided back to the game scene after the two expressed their opinions.

After the referee gave a long whistle, the game started and Swansea City kicked off first.

At the moment of kick-off, 40,000 fans in the entire Goodison Park Stadium made a roar like a tsunami.

Although not as crowded as Old Trafford, the cheers were even more enthusiastic.

This is also because Everton just defeated Manchester United a week ago, which made Everton fans more excited, while Manchester United fans were a little depressed at Old Trafford a week ago.

Under the cheers of the fans, Xia Ze lifted his spirits and immediately encouraged his teammates to press forward, launching a high-position press tactic against Swansea City.

Swansea City deserves to be known as the Premier League Barcelona team. Under the training of Laudrup for several years, the team's passing cooperation seems to have been very tacit and smooth, even under the crazy pressure of the Everton team. , is still not in a hurry.

Although Martinez is a Spaniard, Everton has paid more attention to short-pass coordination after he took over, but it is obviously not as proficient as Swansea City, and has even become a system.

Therefore, although Everton was able to grab the ball in the opening period, there was no way to penetrate the opponent's defense through short passes. There seems to be some leaning towards Swansea City.

Xia Ze looked at the Swansea City players in white in front of him who were constantly interspersed with running and passing, which made people dizzy and couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, in just one and a half years, this team has become more mature than before. If there were relatively large loopholes in their defense in the past, then after the introduction of Shelvey in Swansea City, the third line is very balanced.

Seeing the opponent continue to cooperate in front of him, he and his teammates are a little helpless, but Xia Ze is helpless.

After he broke the ball just now, he wanted to play a short pass with his teammates, but unexpectedly, the opponent broke it with just three or two passes.

Martinez also frowned while watching from the sidelines. Obviously, the current situation of the team is not very good.

"Look, Alan, now Swansea City's short pass penetration has slowly controlled the rhythm of the game. In a few minutes, the control of the midfield will fall to their feet." Schmeichel watched the game while Discuss with Shearer.

"Indeed, Everton's players are now following the rhythm of Swansea City, and they must change." Shearer looked at the screen, frowning slightly.

After 15 minutes of the game, Everton's midfield gradually lost momentum, and Swansea City's offense became more and more pressured. Gomi shot in front of the penalty area after getting the ball. Fortunately, he hit it right and let Howard hold him firmly in his arms.

After Howard got the ball, he was not anxious, but let the team spread out, and just sent the ball to Barry's feet, and Barry immediately passed the ball to Xia Ze.

Xia Ze took the ball with his back at the back of the center circle, and Swansea City's midfielder Shelvey leaned over. This tall player has played very well this season.

But Xia Ze didn't intend to take the ball with his back, but moved the ball to the side to avoid confrontation with the opponent's body. He is not very strong now, and he is not Shelvey's opponent at all if he fights his body.

When he turned around, he had already observed the situation beside him, and was preparing to play a short pass with Miralas on the wing, but Martinez's voice came from the sidelines:

"Don't make it so short, try to make it longer!"

Xia Ze was yelled at by Martinez, and immediately stopped his idea of ​​playing a short pass with Miralas, but moved the ball forward again, taking the opportunity to observe the situation on the field.

Seeing this, Miralas immediately moved forward to open up space for Xia Ze to pass the ball.

In less than a second, Xia Ze saw that there was space on the left, and sent a long pass with his right foot to the left.

A little forward on the left center line, left back Bynes happened to press up at this time. After receiving Xia Ze's transfer ball, there was a large space in front of him, so he immediately took the opportunity to press up.

Prior to this, Everton followed the rhythm of Swansea City and had been playing short passes to infiltrate. At this time, a sudden transfer made a gap on the left. c
