A kick in the midfield department could be what the team needs, and could be delivered via a chinese international player that the fans forgot about. Li Tie has made a remarkable comeback after several setbacks in his quest for fitness.

Li Tie spoke about his struggle to the official everton website “The manager told me I still need a little bit more practice.

“He doesn’t want me to lose my confidence and he also said my chance may come any time."

At the moment, Li Tie is with the international squad in Germany and may start his first Chinese game in 2 years.

“I was delighted to be called by the manager of national team.  Playing for your country means a lot to me, not only the element of being proud but also for the fact your ability is recognised.
