Chapter 152 Winter transfer market
For the upcoming FA Cup, Everton attaches great importance to it, which is completely different from the League Cup that was abandoned some time ago.

The FA Cup, which began in 1872, is the earliest cup in human history. It can be said that it is the pride of every Englishman.The FA Cup is considered by English football to be the most important domestic cup, because the FA Cup is a FA Cup that all nine-tier league teams, including professional and non-professional clubs, can participate in.

In addition to a wider range of participating teams, the FA also gave valuable UEFA Cup qualifications to the annual FA Cup champion team, which is fatal to those teams that are not competitive in the league but aim at Europe.It just so happens that Everton is such a team.

Because there are too many teams participating in the FA Cup, the Premier League teams as seed teams have a privilege. They have a bye in the first two rounds and only need to start the game from the third round.Since the opponent Tamworth in this round is only a mid-lower team in the English League Two, their strength is really limited, and they are drawn to Everton's home court, so Moyes plans to rotate the lineup on a large scale, let the substitute players play to maintain their condition, and at the same time sharpen the second-tier team that was promoted last time. The FA Cup game can also be regarded as a reward for them.

Because there is no match task for the FA Cup, so today's training session, Lin Yi and other main players exist as sparring partners.

"Lin, slow down, slow down, the opponent's offensive players are not so fast."

"Damn it, Rodwell, I said that the player you imitated doesn't have that much strength, is it really okay for you to bully the teammates of the second team like this?"

Assistant coach David yelled at the training ground angrily.

"Phil, come here."

Moyes in the distance yelled away Neville who was still on the field, and at the same time David stopped the game and announced a break.

Ji Dong's younger brother Barkley came over and said flatteringly: "Boss, have you heard that we cleared out 7 marginal players during this winter break, but only signed 2 players. Do you think the club is too stingy?"

Ji Dong did not answer Barkley, but as he said, the Everton club set a difficult task for the team. After the suspension, the club did not lower the task standard.I thought that the opening of the winter transfer window would bring some surprises to the team, but I didn't expect it to still be this lineup.

Think about Manchester United in the news, Manchester City are all supplementing in the winter, especially Manchester United, in addition to the Japanese Okazaki Shinji, they also bought Van der Sar's successor De Gea from Atletico Madrid, and it is said that they are still chasing Phil Jones and Ashley Young.This is why everyone wants to go to a wealthy family, and why the championship is monopolized by the wealthy.

People go to high places, and Lin Yi is very fortunate that his career is going well. Both Evergrande and Manchester United are ambitious giants, which saves Lin Yi from many detours. He is like standing on the shoulders of giants.

When Neville returned to the training ground, he brought two new teammates over.A strong black man and a young white player had strange faces, at least Ji Dong had never seen them before.

"Guys, we have two new partners, come here."

After everyone came over, Neville first motioned for the big black man with a mustache to introduce himself.

"Hi everyone, my name is Boya, the main central defender of the Nigerian national team. I am 31 years old this year. I just transferred from Fenerbahçe in Turkey. Please take care of me."

Although this guy speaks a bit arrogantly, he is a typical African player with a flamboyant personality. Such players are usually thorny, but he can become the main central defender of the Nigerian national team. It seems that he still has strength.But Everton does not lack central defenders. On the contrary, players in this position have shown good form this season. Is it too capricious for the club to sign in like this?

After thinking about Ji Dong carefully, he understood what was going on. It seemed that the club planned to sell the good central defenders for money after the end of this season. This Yabo was here as a spare tire in advance.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Eric Dier. I'm from England. I was born in Warrington. I'm 18 years old. I'm a central defender and a right back. I was a member of the Everton club before. I was loaned to Sporting Lisbon and now I'm returning to my home team after the loan period ends."

This young player who was 2 years younger than himself looked a little shy, which reminded Lin Yi of the Ross Barkley he saw when he first came to the club.However, this kid's current thin body definitely doesn't allow him to mix in the Premier League. It is estimated that the second-tier team is his temporary affiliation.

Wait, where is this kid from?Warrington?How many Warringtons are there in England?It seems that you have to ask carefully later.

After the introduction of the two, Neville handed over the task of introducing the team players to Peng Pengtou.As a result, Peng Pengtou played a prank when introducing Ji Dong.

"This guy is Lin from China. It's nothing important. Just treat him as the team's equipment keeper, because he is basically the last one to pack the equipment."

Lin Yi has black hair, I obviously practiced extra training to the end, when did I become an equipment manager.

"Jokes aside, this is the core of our midfield. At present, our offensive system mainly revolves around Lin, so if we don't know what to do if we get the ball on the field in the future, as long as he is by his side and give him the ball."

Everyone nodded in agreement after seeing what Puffy said, coupled with the news he had read before, the thoughtful Yabo classified Lin Yi into the group who could only curry favor and not offend.And Eric Dill looked at Ji Dong with a fanciful face. You must know that Ji Dong has already been named the strongest player under the age of 20 by The Times.

After everyone was introduced, Neville began to perform the duties of the captain. "Tim, you take Dill to choose a cabinet."

Tim is the captain of the second-team team who performed some time ago, and now he is a first-team player.The implication of Neville letting Tim take him away is that Moyes sent Dill to the second team.

After Tim left with a confused Dill, Neville explained the "tradition" to Yabo. Unexpectedly, the Nigerians knew this a long time ago. It seems that he was well prepared.

Interestingly, Yabo's first challenge turned out to be an arm wrestling. Everyone in Everton looked at this poor guy like an idiot. Could it be that he really hasn't seen Lin Yi's cage match or the breaking news?Is he stupid!

However, when Ji Dong was elected by the stars to meet the challenge, it only took less than 3 seconds, and before Ji Dong used his full strength, Yabo gave up.Holding the grass, this old boy did it on purpose, he just wanted to use this to curry favor with the team's number one star.Of course, only Ji Dong can feel this, and everyone else will think that he is just stupid.

Yabo's second challenge was to be more accurate than footwork, but this time he asked for a call to challenge captain Phil Neville.There is no doubt that he lost again, although Yabo lost without a trace, but after the first challenge, Ji Dong knew that Boya deliberately let the water go,

Yabo is deliberately begging to lose, the purpose is to please the two most important figures in the team.Since I lost, I have to invite the whole team to go to the nightclub for a drink and hehehe, so this time I will please the whole team by the way.

Damn it, whoever says that African players have no brains in the future, Ji Dong will definitely beat him to death, this kid has used himself as a gun without saying a word, and you can't say anything, after all, he is also trying to actively integrate into the group, right?

Since the FA Cup match is the day after tomorrow, he can go to nightclubs at night.In order to match everyone's time, Ji Dong didn't practice extra today. When Ji Dong walked near the parking lot, he saw Eric Dill whom he had seen in the morning. Coincidentally, Ji Dong also wanted to meet him.

"Hey Eric, how are you going to get home?"

Seeing that it was Lin Yi, the idol of the first team, Eric was a little excited, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to say hello to him.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm going to take a taxi back."

"Just call me Lin. Get in the car and I'll see you off. By the way, where do you live?"

Hearing that the idol said that he would take him home, Eric had little stars in his eyes, and his expression was incredible.

"Really? Thank you so much. I live in the 4th block of Formby, and the club arranged for me to stay at a fan's house."

British clubs have a tradition of hosting non-local second-tier players in the homes of trusted fans. This can strengthen communication with fans, and secondly, it can better cultivate player loyalty and of course save money.

"Lucky for you, it's only 3 blocks from my apartment. Well, you can give me a ride every day from now on, but you'll be late at night, no problem!"

"Oh God, really? I'm so lucky, no problem, of course no problem."

"Then what are you waiting for, get in the car and go home!"

In the car, the two gradually got acquainted and started chatting.

"Eric, you said your home is in Warrington, is that the Warrington near here?"

"That's right, it's Warrington, 70 kilometers away from here. It's a very nice town. If you have the opportunity, please come to my house as a guest. My mother's bacon is the best."

"Okay, thank you for your invitation, I will definitely go if I have the chance. By the way, do you know that your hometown will establish a team?"

"The team, I don't know very well, but doesn't Warrington have several clubs? And I'm still a member of one of them."

"No, it's different, I mean a professional club!"

"Really? That would be awesome. We've been waiting for this news for years, and it's finally going to happen. Do you know when? What's the name?"

Eric, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly became excited and asked anxiously.

"The establishment time should be around this time, and the name has not yet been decided. The investor of this club is my boss when I was in the Chinese club, so I knew about it earlier. I heard that the new stadium is about to start, so this time you go back and you can see it is different."

"No wonder my father said that there will be a surprise when I go back. This is really great. Warrington will finally have a team of his own. This is a great start."

"Don't you reject foreign capital teams?"

"No, why do you do that? No matter who pays, as long as the club takes root in Warrington, it belongs to the belief of all Warrington people. Jesus is not British, but who cares about that. Believe me, as long as this club really becomes a professional team, it will be the pride of the whole Warrington.

Lin, you know what, after hearing you say that, now I want to know all about the new team, it's amazing. "

"You will have a chance, but let's keep it a little bit of a mystery for now. Tell me about you, how are you now, can you get used to it when you return to Everton?"

Ji Dong found that when he asked this question, Eric was obviously tired.

"To tell you the truth, I think I may not be suitable for professional football. I was not particularly good in Everton's echelon, so I was loaned to Sporting Lisbon to play in the youth team. The club hopes that I can get exercise.

But I was returned by Sporting Lisbon one year later. I don’t know what will happen in the future. For now, I am still not very competitive in the second-tier team. I guess if I can’t represent the first-team this season, it is very likely that I will be resold to the British Championship or even lower leagues next season. "

……

Today's meeting place is the Red Forest Nightclub, and Yabo can see that he is very good at playing. Although it is the first time to come to the Red Forest, the essence of the old driver is undoubtedly exposed.In order to please Ji Dong, he called three beautiful Asian beauties to Ji Dong alone.

In order not to embarrass Yabo, Ji Dong accepted it with a smile, and then gave the three beauties 1000 pounds each and sent them to Pinar, God bless the South African waist tomorrow.After drinking the milk, seeing that everyone was starting to move around, Ji Dong took Ross Buckley and hurried away from this ecstasy place. Ji Dong didn't think he was Liu Xiahui, and he didn't know if he would be captured after a long time.

Seeing Ji Dong and Buckley driving away, the paparazzi hiding across the street stomped their feet angrily, and the most valuable fucking news was ruined again.

When he returned to the apartment, Lin Yi looked at his watch, guessing that China should also wake up, so Lin Yi called Cai Zhenguo, the head of the Football Association.

"Leader, I found a captain!"

……

　This is a legendary captain, all book friends, come and recommend to support this captain!
