Chapter 45: The Gap

The first training camp of the "Three Lions" in the Hodgson era attracted the attention of millions of people, not only fans in England who were watching this star-studded team, but also fans around the world.

In the more than four years that "Iron Coach" Capello has coached the England team, the progress of the England team is still obvious, compared with the results of the Eriksen and McLaren eras, there has been a lot of improvement, but they still have not been able to prove to the world that they are a strong team.

The stars of the England team have obviously not played their strength, the role has not been played to the maximum, and every England team has become synonymous with tragedy.

This is what the outside world is most concerned about!

As for the young players such as Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen among the players recruited by Hodgson, although the English media has also paid enough attention, it is not the main event.

On April 21, when Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen reported to St. George's Park, which had not yet been officially opened, the two of them were warmly welcomed by the fans, and some fans even asked them for autographs with England jerseys.

Autographing fans, this kind of thing is no stranger to Wang Tiezhu, he is already a well-known star in Leeds, and his and Melissa's lives have also begun to be exposed, at this time Wang Tiezhu and Melissa are not tired of being followed by flashing lights, Melissa also quit her job in the hospital and became a full-time wife in the reserve, and occasionally be interviewed to talk about some trivial things in Wang Tiezhu's life.

Wang Tiezhu because his driving skills are not good, he has to pick up Melissa every day, Wang Tiezhu can cook a good Chinese food, Wang Tiezhu is very yearning for China, Melissa and Wang Tiezhu's acquaintance, etc., all things have been reported as anecdotes, Leeds fans know that Melissa's grandparents and grandchildren are all Leeds fans through and through, and their support for Melissa and Wang Tiezhu is also more enthusiastic.

It's just that the reason why Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen can now be recognized by England fans is still due to the modern developed media, and the performance of the two of them in the past half a year has been reported by the media bit by bit, so now the fans are no strangers to these two young boys, and even the media praised the two young men fiercely, saying that they can become the pillars of the "Young Guard" at such a young age and lead the team to rush back to the Super League. This is enough to prove their quality, and in time, the young midfielders will most likely take over the burden from Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard and become the core of the new generation of midfield for the "Three Lions".

"Hey, Shaq, these fans know us! Haha, it seems that our performance this year has really attracted attention! ”

After signing autographs for the fans, Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen backpacked and walked to the St George's Park football training base, and the Leeds captain still looked very excited.

Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "Jonny, you haven't rested much in the past two days, aren't you too excited?" You've got dark circles under your eyes! ”

"Ahh Did you find out too? Not...... I was just...... Well, I'm just too excited. ”

"Jonny, you really need to adjust, otherwise if you don't perform well in training, you may not have a chance to play."

Yes?

Jonny Hausen looked at Wang Tiezhu with an indifferent face in amazement, he really didn't understand this little brother, he obviously grew up under his nose, but how could this kid be so calm about becoming an England international?

Fuck, this kid must have a big heart!

Wang Tiezhu's performance this season is indeed too good, from his immature debut to being able to strictly carry out every task assigned by the head coach, and with a high-quality long-range shot and excellent heading ability, he has pushed himself to the position of the top scorer in the Leeds team.

For Wang Tiezhu's performance, others can't help but praise him as a "genius", but as the most iron-clad Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker in the team, these two boys will only call him a "freak" and "pervert" when they talk about Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu, who has the "black foot" system, has made great progress in this season, he was only responsible for the team's defensive tasks at the beginning, but with the long-range shooting surname was added to 20 after he added the full value, relying on the left and right foot balance left by Zach Thompson, so he has the ability to bombard the opponent's goal with his left foot or right foot anytime and anywhere as long as he is within his own range, and this ability also makes Wang Tiezhu a long-range cannon that can move and fire at any time. Any opponent's goal can be threatened anytime and anywhere.

Simon Grayson also gave full play to Wang Tiezhu's ability, giving him the right to fire at will within the range, originally he was helpless, after all, Wang Tiezhu's passing awareness and ability are a little poor, it is better to let him have a chance to shoot from a distance, but he didn't expect the effect of such an adjustment to be surprising, so there is a "Young Guard" that crushes everything, and there is a "Shaq" with outstanding defensive ability and even more outstanding scoring ability, also has the experience of Wang Tiezhu being selected for the England national team training squad.

The St George's Park training base, which was built by the English FA with an investment of 15 million pounds, has not yet been officially put into use, and there are many facilities that are not yet complete, but Hodgson still chose here, he feels that since he has become the new manager of the "Three Lions", there should be a new start, and the newly formed team will of course use the new training base.

However, even if the construction of the St. George's Park training base has not yet been completed, it still completely opened the eyes of Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, two "country" children, and after entering the base and walking a few steps inside, they met Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

With a smile on his face, Lampard smiled at Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen: "Shaq and Jonny, welcome you two to this big family!" I'm Frank Lampard, the interim captain, well, because Leo is still recovering from an injury, so I'm going to be the captain for the time being, and that's Gerrard. ”

After the two boys shook hands with Lampard in flattery, Gerrard squinted and smiled and went up to hug the two of them: "Hey, Shaq and Jonny, you two boys are doing a good job in Leeds, but you have to work harder after coming here, otherwise you will be eliminated!" ”

"Alright, Steven, don't scare the two little ones, let's go, let's take them on a tour of St. George's Park."

Gerald laughed, "Yes, let's go and visit together!" Seriously, this base is amazing, we visited it after we arrived yesterday, and we old guys can't believe that a training base can be made like this, it's like being in a sci-fi world! ”

Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, under the leadership of the two veterans of the England team, first went to the bedroom arranged for them, and then they found that there was a five-star hotel built here, and all the players of the England team lived on the top floor.

The two boys also met Terry, Ashley Cole, Stuart Downing, Richards, Joe Hart, Barry, Hargreaves, Glenn Johnson and others who had already arrived at the top.

These stars also expressed their enthusiasm for the two young boys, after all, everyone will be comrades-in-arms who will win glory for the country together in the future, and even if Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen can't be selected for the 23-person squad this time, judging from the age of these two boys, they will definitely be able to do it in two or three years, wasn't this the case with "Little Tiger" Walcott?

Located in St George's Park, about 130 miles from Wembley in eastern Staffordshire, the base is home to state-of-the-art training facilities and medical resources, a recovery centre the size of a large hospital capable of handling surgical procedures, and five large indoor gymnasiums equipped with NASF technology, including the most famous 'altitude room', which means players can train 'on the plateau' without leaving their homes.

There are also 11 outdoor pitches, five with lighting and geothermal systems, a fully equipped indoor artificial turf field, and even a touch-screen TV, ice bath facilities in the players' dressing rooms, and even a training ground similar to that of Wembley Stadium, the home of England.

After a tour of Gerrard's electric car, Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen have been completely conquered by this "National Football Center", according to Lampard's commentary, this "National Football Center" has been put into use for 37 years from the idea to the construction of today, until the time is ripe, the English FA has turned this idea into reality, and even built such a dream training base that can no longer be described as advanced and luxurious. The English FA, which has invested hundreds of millions of pounds, will not only not lose money, but will also make money, because St George's Park will be built into a commercial center in the future, and it will also attract big clubs to stay here, and UEFA has already booked St George's Park.

After the visit, Wang Tiezhu was shocked and smiled bitterly in his heart, no wonder Chinese football has always been unable to support Adou, after all, from the concept, the idea has been too far behind, the Germans can use the ten-year plan to endure humiliation and burden to promote the rise of German football again, the English can also play a sign like St. George's Park, and Chinese football ...... How long can you survive in the midst of scolding?

After Wang Tiezhu got to Zach Thompson, he compared Chinese football with English football, and found that there is a big gap between the two whether it is the attitude towards football, or the professional surname of football, or even in training, rest, diet, etc., and now after seeing St. George's Park, Wang Tiezhu feels that this gap is simply too big to make up.
