Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 21 Before the Great War
Jian Ming is a European resident reporter for the sports section of a website in Huaguo. Last year, with the launch of the live broadcast of the five major domestic leagues, he could have finished work and returned to China in the second half of last year. Later, the Guoan teenager Zhang Xizhe transferred to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. Jian Jie stayed in Wolfsburg with the interview team of the website.

It has been more than two months, except for the grand joining ceremony that made many domestic media carnival, and then there is nothing else. Among them, the name of the Chinese teenager was not seen in the roster of the nine rounds of the Bundesliga, except for a few in Kyoto. The big media can occasionally produce some tidbits about Zhang Xizhe's life training, while other media can only rely on imagination to compile and distribute articles.

A few days ago, the bored Jian Jie received a call from the domestic editor-in-chief, informing him that there was a popular Chinese player in the second division, and he could try to pay attention to see if it was worth reporting.

Proficient in English, German, French and Spanish, I tried to search for Zhang Mai's information on the Internet and British sports websites, and was immediately taken aback by the large amount of information pouring out:
"Ten consecutive victories", "six consecutive victories", "wonderful contracts", "elimination of Premier League teams", "grievances with Everton", "planners were killed in the end" and so on filled the screen, Still the freshest and hottest.

By the way, when did Chinese players become so popular in the UK!
Looking at Zhang Mai's personal information again, the Chinese in England, 16 years old, a madman in the second division, has an offensive efficiency of 20 goal in less than 1 minutes.

Only ZTM can be called a teenager!
Jian Yan hurriedly checked the schedule of the Tranmere team represented by Zhang Mai, and happened to see that the FA 1/4 final between Tranmere and Everton will be played tomorrow, a game called "Battle of Revenge" by the British media The game is also a leapfrog battle for the League Two team to challenge the Premier League team.

So what are you waiting for, Jian Jian quickly booked tickets online, packed a few clothes and flew to Liverpool.

……

Although Everton chairman Ken Wright was very annoyed that Waldron did not do things cleanly, he even hated Zhang Mai, the Chinese kid who started the trend of "laughing at Everton all over the UK".

In the eyes of Mr. Chairman, the level of League Two is [-] light-years away from Everton, so it is possible to teach this restless Huaguo a good lesson in the less important cup game.

In order not to tell the truth about "bullying the small with the big", the chairman also personally arranged for three young players from Finch Farm who were selected for England's U17 youth training to play, and planned to tell the ignorant people all over the UK with facts: Why did Everton abandon China? Country boy.

The three teenagers that Chairman Ken Wright placed high hopes on were Davis, Kenny and Benny Bennetjime, one black and two white, one in the front, one in the middle and one in the back.

Davis replaced No. 14 Naismith as an attacking midfielder; Bennetjime replaced No. 10 Lukaku as a striker; Kenny replaced No. 18 veteran Barry as a central defender.

"Bennajime, you should cooperate with me more. If the opportunity is not good, let me come and teach that yellow-skinned monkey a lesson! Kenny tightened up the defense at the back, and we must keep Tranmere clean!"

The complacent Davis ordered the two as if he was the boss.

"Ok."

Kenny was a little apprehensive. He really didn't have the confidence to see Zhang Mai to death. Two months ago, Zhang Mai could abuse himself with a blank slate. Now, after being honed in the League Two, he still doesn't know what kind of devil he has become.

"Play your own midfield well, and the front line is less of a BB!"

Bennett Jimmy, like Morgan Feeney, has long been displeased with Davis's arrogance, so he responded hard.

Davis, who was unconscious, was about to have an attack, and was persuaded away by the worried Kenny.

Unwilling, Davis ran to the locker room of the first team again, and was about to speak boldly in front of the first-line bosses, when Everton's Zhengyin winger Miralas threw over two pairs of stinky shoes.

"Boy, wash them well, or I will make you cry the whole time tomorrow!"

On the morning of the 7th, after Martinez announced the roster for the afternoon game in the team, he found Davis's face was ugly.

"Tom Davis, if you are unwell, you can still adjust the roster now."

Martinez doesn't want to take the responsibility of hurting Everton's future.

"No, Mr. Martinez, I'm fine, I'm just a little excited."

Davis was on the verge of tears.

Miralas the son of a bitch, if I knew you didn't even make the big list, why should I wash the stinky shoes all afternoon!

……

Tranmere's big roster is much simpler. For small families, one set of people will rule the world.

Only after Edwards finished reading Everton's playing list, Zhang Mai's original frown relaxed.

"Coach Edwards, Everton's Martinez focuses on offense and light defense. He rests all the main attackers and replaces a few substitutes and youth players. This is our opportunity!"

Zhang Mai didn't know the chairman of Everton's fancy, but he saw the opportunity for victory.

"That's right, you also came out of the Everton youth training camp, so come up with an idea."

Coach Edwards suddenly realized.

Zhang Mai immediately called Holness (captain), Powell, Stockton and Donaseen together.

"Everton's offensive axis has become three youth players. I am more familiar with them. The central defender Kenny will be dealt with by me; Donasien has to switch back to the central defender position and is responsible for marking Bennett Jimmy. You two have similar personalities and technical characteristics, and you can fight happily in the audience;”

Zhang Mai arranged a new lineup for his teammates.

"Powell is dedicated to Davis in the midfield. Davis is not worthy of his name and has a high spirit. He rarely cooperates with first-team players, so it is good to stick to his position and prevent him from breaking through; Stockton pays attention to talking to me at any time. Swapping positions, I beat Kenny, the England U17 centre-back, and the goals would come naturally."

After some discussion and discussion, everyone began to practice a new formation on the field, preparing to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Jian Jie arrived at Liverpool last night. He went straight to Tranmere Club early in the morning. After explaining his purpose to the Tranmere reception staff, he was brought to the chairman Parios.

Palios also negotiated several youth training cooperation projects during his trip to Huaguo, so he was very concerned about people and things from Huaguo. When he learned that Jianming's purpose was to interview Zhang Mai, he personally accompanied him there. On the way, he also complained that the Chinese media were too blind and had forgotten about Zhang Mai, the shining oriental pearl in Tranmere.

Jian Jie, who has been stationed in Europe for many years, felt for the first time that Chinese media people were valued, and learned about Zhang Mai's brilliant achievements from the eloquent Parrios.

When he actually saw Zhang Mai, all he could ask concisely were some short life trifles from the parents.

Zhang Mai felt very cordial to the compatriots who came from afar, and the atmosphere of the interview was relaxed and friendly.

The questions asked by reporters from Huaguo are generally gentle and flat, and rarely involve the sensitive or sharp topics of the interviewees.

But Jianming still put forward Zhang Mai's views on the away game in the afternoon.

"Strive for victory with all your strength, no personal grievances, no differences in team levels, just football, leave football to football!"

Zhang Mai answered firmly.
