Chapter 10 Advent

When Green Snowing took Wang Tiezhu to the first-team dressing room, the players of the first-team team had already gone to training, because Leeds United is now a team in the English Championship League, the second division of England, and now there are basically no internationals in England or football powerhouses in the team, only the internationals of the outdated football "small countries", which allows Leeds United to maintain the integrity of the team when playing in international competitions on the European continent.

"Pong!"

Green Snowing patted on the door of a cabinet, turned his head and said to Wang Tiezhu with a smile: "Shaq, you will use this cabinet in the future." Also, do you have a preferred jersey number? ”

Thinking of the No. 5 jersey he wore when he played in China, Wang Tiezhu smiled: "Mr. Green, I prefer No. 5." ”

Green Snowing touched his nose awkwardly and smiled wryly: "Uh, Shaq, this number belongs to Andy...... Andy O'Brien! ”

Andy O'Brien is an Irish centre-back who is 32 years old and has played 27 games for Ireland and has little chance of being named in the Irish national team at the moment, but he is still a man he can trust at the back for Leeds United.

But how does Wang Tiezhu know this, he has not paid attention to the first team of Leeds United at all, except for the two Jonny Howson and Ben Parker that David Soma just told him, no one else really knows anyone.

But Wang Tiezhu doesn't care much, he is not a star, and if the number he likes is chosen away, then choose another one: "Oh, if someone uses it, forget it, just give me a number." ”

Seeing that Wang Tiezhu's surname was easy-going and easy to speak, and he didn't have the arrogance of a so-called genius player at all, Green Snowing nodded and smiled: "Okay, Shaq, this cabinet is cabinet No. 29, so why don't you just choose No. 29?" ”

"No problem!"

Wang Tiezhu shrugged his shoulders and smiled easily, he was not very paranoid about the jersey number, after all, he grew up in a materialistic country, and he had never played real professional football, so he really didn't think much of these things that were a little superstitious.

"Shaq, you should wear your training uniform for today's training, and tomorrow we will produce a jersey with your name and number printed on it."

"Thank you!"

Wang Tiezhu hesitated, he originally wanted to print the pinyin of his Chinese name on his jersey, but on second thought, it seemed too disrespectful to Zach Thompson, and if he had other relatives, it would not be good to see it.

Green Snowing went to the next room to get training clothes, and Wang Tiezhu quickly changed into clothes and shoes, and followed Green Snowing to the training ground of the first team.

The first team is all professionals, basically everyone has their own families, and many of them even have children, so the start of training is a little later than that of the youth team, and the players have to be given some time to deal with the household chores, and these professional players are just starting to do physical activity there at the moment.

Wang Tiezhu saw his first professional football coach here, Simon Grayson, who had short hair without any shape and a calm face and looked very cold, the first feeling of this meritorious coach to Wang Tiezhu was that it was difficult to get along, but he didn't know that Simon Grayson was actually a relatively easy-going person, but he was in a bad mood due to Leeds United's recent very poor record.

"Simon!"

In the distance, Green Snowing raised his voice and shouted, and Simon Grayson turned his head to see that it was his assistant who had arrived with Zach Thompson from the youth team, and then he squeezed out some smiles on his face and walked towards them.

Green Snowing said to Wang Tiezhu: "Shaq, don't be afraid of Simon, this guy is very good, but the team's results have been recently...... Hehe, he's in a bad mood! ”

Wang Tiezhu nodded and didn't speak, but he felt a little sympathy for Simon Grayson, the head coach, who was forced by the club's finances to find a midfielder in the youth team, which is definitely worthy of sympathy!

"Hi Zach, I'm Simon Grayson, welcome to the first team, lad, I hope you're ready for a new challenge!"

"Yes, Mr. Simon, I'm ready!"

Simon Grayson was in a heavy mood, and his tone of voice naturally became more serious unconsciously, and Wang Tiezhu responded to his head coach very seriously, and Green Snowing on the side saw that the atmosphere seemed to be a little heavy, and hurriedly laughed: "Simon, do you know? Zach already has a nickname, 'Shaq', which was given to him by his teammates on the youth team! Hey, Shaq, that's the bloodthirsty guy in the sea! ”

Hey!?

Simon Grayson showed a surprised expression, he once knew what it means to be a professional player when he won a nickname from his teammates, at least it was an affirmation of the player's ability, to put it mildly, his teammates had fully trusted the player, and even a nickname could already tell a lot about a player's style and surname, such as Birdie, Lone Wolf, Panther, Owner, Beast, Lion King, etc.

It's just that Simon Grayson doesn't think of the tall and thin boy in front of him, and he can't connect him with "Shaq", you must know that it is a fierce beast that will go crazy when it smells blood in the sea, and it can be said that it is the overlord of the ocean, and the little guy in front of him who always has a smile on his face...... How can it be called "Shaq"?

"Hehe, okay, Shaq, I'll call you that from now on! Welcome! And also...... In the future, call me boss or boss, don't call me sir. ”

After Simon Grayson was stunned, he finally had a smile on his face, and now Leeds United's problem is the lack of hardness and effective defense in the midfield, and Zach Thompson in front of him No matter what his appearance is, at least this "Shaq" nickname is already very murderous, which is very in line with Simon Grayson's expectations, which also determines Simon Grayson's first impression of Wang Tiezhu...... Not bad!

Green Snowing smiled and patted Wang Tiezhu's back: "Shaq, and me, don't always call me Mr. Green in the future, it will be too rusty, just call my name Green." ”

"Okay, Green."

Wang Tiezhu smiled and nodded to Green Snowing, and Simon Grayson on the side smiled: "Okay, let's go, go say hello to your new teammates, and then train with them." Shaq, you're fine, you're not too nervous to sleep because you're going to be in the first team, are you? Haha, I'll tell you the truth, when I knew I could play for the first team, I really had no sleep all night, and when I reported to the first team the next day, I still had two dark circles under my eyes, and most of the old teammates at that time talked to me for the first time and asked me if I was overindulged, hahahaha......"

Listening to Simon Grayson's self-blowing scandal, Wang Tiezhu had a sense of intimacy, he knew that he should have initially integrated into this new collective, as for his fate next, it depends on his own performance.

Simon Grayson and Green Snowing led Wang Tiezhu to the players' sideboards, clapped their hands and shouted, "Okay, boys, stop for a moment." I'm going to introduce you to a new companion, Zach Thompson, a young man who just came from the other side of Thorpe's Arch, you can call him Shaq, that's his nickname, and his position on the pitch is a defensive midfielder! Okay, let's all get to know each other. And, Jonny, I gave him to you, he's your little brother! ”

Listening to Simon Grayson said that Wang Tiezhu played in the position of the back midfield, the players of the first team let down their guard against him, a young hairy boy, and played in the back of the back, which is obviously not in line with the current Leeds United tactics, it seems that he should be a new attempt by a head coach, there is no threat to everyone in the team, after all, it is not an overnight thing to change the team's tactics, and now the league has started, and it is very risky to make adjustments.

The captain of the first team, Jonny Hausen, is only 23 years old this year, but he has already become the leader of Leeds United, because he is not only talented and capable, but also a player cultivated by Leeds United themselves, he has been playing for Leeds United's first team since he was 18 years old, and it is now in his sixth year, and because of his fierce style of play and strong fighting, he finally became the new banner of the "Young Guard" last year.

Jonny Howson had a sense of closeness when he heard that Wang Tiezhu came from the first team, of course he didn't know that Wang Tiezhu had only come to Leeds Academy for more than half a year, but Jonny Howson subconsciously decided that Wang Tiezhu was another descendant, this young man with a very good surname has the stubbornness of the English, and he stubbornly believes that only players from Leeds Academy will dedicate their lives to the team like him and Ben Parker. It's just that there seem to be only two such people in the Leeds team at the moment, and now that there is another Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen feels that the sky above him is bluer.

As the core of the team's midfield, Jonny Hausen is very clear about his team's problems, the reason why the team's results are so bad is mainly because of the lack of hardness and defensive ability in the midfield, he is the only one among the midfielders who is tougher, but his defensive ability is not very strong, and then he will be even busier if he leaves the offense and focuses on defense, and the taste of being alone is really uncomfortable, so for the arrival of Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen is quite happy, Although he doesn't yet know what the little brother is capable of, the presence of such a man is enough to show that the boss has already started to solve the problem, and even if the little guy can't bear the burden, a new defensive midfielder will definitely be introduced by the winter transfer time.

"Hey Shaq, I'm Jonny Hausen, call me Jonny in the future, or call me Boss! Hahaha, Shaq, we're partners in the future, come, I'll introduce you to your teammates! ”

Jonny Hausen pulled Wang Tiezhu and introduced him one by one, there are now twenty-three people in the first team, Wang Tiezhu can't remember it for a while, but he is all smiling and nodding to people, everyone is also quite friendly to him, after all, this kid is the team's two ball bullies Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker's little brother.
