In the official Everton fan souvenir shop at Goodison Park, a group of tourists from China surrounded the cashier, while the cashier in the middle looked at these disappointed tourists from afar , don't know how to explain.

"How could it be out of stock?"

"Such a big store, open the door to do business, and we only said it was out of stock after we came!?"

"Do you still want to do business?"

...

These Chinese tourists chattered around the cashier to discuss explanations.

"My friends, what's going on?" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came over.

"Manager, you came just in time, help me quickly." The female cashier saw the manager coming, and immediately cast a look at him for help.

Immediately after the manager came, the drool from those Chinese tourists was transferred from the cashier to the manager.

"How could it be out of stock?"

"Such a big store, open the door to do business, and we only said it was out of stock after we came!?"

"Do you still want to do business?"

...

Under the bombardment of their saliva, the manager frowned, and after more than ten minutes, he finally figured out what was going on.

Being able to be the manager of Everton's official fans' souvenir shop, he naturally has his own way. He first pressed his hand majestically to make everyone around him stop talking, and then said slowly:

"Everyone, because Xia Ze's jerseys are so popular this month, we have already printed three batches, but unfortunately they are all sold out. After the stock was out yesterday, we immediately reprinted it, but it will take two days to put it on the shelves. Please forgive."

It turns out that after helping Everton defeat Manchester United, Xia Ze has continued to perform well, leading Everton to five consecutive league victories, and climbed to seventh place in the standings, only 3 points away from the European seat .

So he became the new darling of Everton fans, and his jersey was out of stock several times and had to be reprinted urgently.

And these tourists from China,

I also know that Xia Ze has made a name for himself in the Premier League, some want to buy one for himself, some ask his friends to buy it for himself, and some even plan to buy it back and resell it to earn a fortune.

It's a pity that Xia Ze's jerseys were out of stock that day, so they were raging and almost flooded Goodison Park.

After the manager explained, he thought that these Chinese tourists would understand, but he didn't expect that they didn't seem to understand English, and they still used blunt Chinese and English mixed with saliva to fly to the manager's face:

"How could it be out of stock?"

"Such a big store, open the door to do business, and we only said it was out of stock after we came!?"

"Do you still want to do business?"

...

The manager was completely speechless.

Xia Ze's performance in this month has completely conquered the British media and Everton fans. Cheer.

After this period of outstanding performance in the game, he not only confirmed the core position of the attack in Everton, but also became the new darling in the eyes of Toffee fans.

...

On March 26, in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Everton will challenge Aston Villa away. After more than a month, Xia Ze will appear in the FA Cup again.

It was the FA Cup match against Manchester United a month ago that allowed him to change his previous unfavorable situation and gain a foothold in the Premier League.

And it was also from the game at Old Trafford that Xia Ze found a way to deal with the high-intensity pressing of the Premier League, and began to shine in the league, leading the team to 5 consecutive victories in the league.

And today, he will once again challenge his opponent away in the FA Cup, but this time it is Aston Villa, who is deeply mired in the relegation zone.

But the same thing is that Xia Ze was not included in the starting list by Martinez, but sat on the bench.

Everton is at a critical moment for the league to hit the European seats. After Xia Ze recovered from his injury this season, he has been playing games and has not rested.

In order for the core of the team to have better physical reserves in the key battle in April, Martinez put him on the bench to prepare for the weekend game.

Although Xia Ze had a strong fighting spirit, Martinez did not agree to his offer.

Because the Spanish coach believes that it is enough to challenge Aston Villa, which is deep in the relegation zone, with a semi-main lineup.

Villa is currently in dire straits in the league, and it is too late to protect themselves. How can they have the energy to use the main lineup to smash the FA Cup with Everton? The coaches of both sides have adopted the rotation lineup very tacitly, all for the weekend league.

Aston Villa is located in Birmingham in central England, more than 150 kilometers away from Liverpool. The team did not choose to drive their own bus, but took the train.

Xia Ze looked at the passing scenery outside the window, an hour's journey passed quickly, and Birmingham, the second largest city in Britain, appeared in his vision.

In fact, the scale of Birmingham is larger than that of Liverpool, and there seem to be more high-rise buildings, with a stronger atmosphere of a big city.

Of course, it is still not as good as Guangzhou, after all, the population is not at the same level.

The train stopped slowly on the platform. Although it was almost March, the wind was still blowing in the UK, but the days when the sun came out were more frequent than before.

Xia Ze stepped out of the carriage, and the cold wind brought by the passing train got into his collar, making him shiver.

Although it has been two months since he came to the UK, and the temperature is gradually warming up, Xia Ze still shiver subconsciously when he is blown by the cold wind outside.

However, in order to show his adaptability to this country, Xia Zeqiang puffed up his chest and walked forward without fear.

It's just that Gibson, an out-and-out Englishman beside him, hunched his body and walked forward against the wind.

This immediately made Xia Ze lose the confidence to fight against the cold wind, and quickly retracted his neck into his collar to restore his nature.

After boarding the bus prepared by Aston Villa for the team, Xia Ze saw the appearance of the Villa Park Stadium ten minutes later.

With a brick-red exterior wall and a white roof structure, this boxy building stands beside the road.

There are already various vehicles parked in the parking lot outside the stadium. Fans wearing traditional maroon Villa jerseys or wearing scarves are talking and laughing outside the stadium, as if it is an ordinary match day.

But today is Wednesday, a weekday. These diehard fans of Aston Villa may have become accustomed to this kind of life. They may close their shops for half a day when the team has a game, or ask the boss for leave. If you meet the owner who is also a Villa fan, why not just watch the game together. c
