Chapter 22: The Meat Grinder
Chapter XXII: The Meat Grinder
Wang Tiezhu's performance in training was really desperate, and every onlooker was shocked to watch, although Wang Tiezhu also knew that this kind of training was really not too big for his own improvement, but he still practiced so crazy for several days, not only to find a reason for his future take-off, but also because he found a little bit of the feeling when he played in China before from this kind of mechanical crazy training.
Harvey Sharman's monitoring of Wang Tiezhu's body is all-round, every time Wang Tiezhu trains, he will put several detection sensors on Wang Tiezhu's temples, wrists, heart, thighs and other positions, monitoring Wang Tiezhu's blood pressure, heartbeat, blood oxygen rate and other indicators at any time, a few days later, Wang Tiezhu's physical health completely conquered Harvey Sharman, he has never seen such a strong player, he has never heard of it.
When the seventh round of the English Championship was approaching, the 43-year-old doctor approached Simon Grayson and said with relief: "Simon, I have been engaged in sports medical work for ten years, but I have never seen a strong player like Shaq, I can't believe that his body is still a human body, he is simply a humanoid tyrannosaurus!" Hey, by the way, the humanoid Shaq! Hahahaha! ”
"Oh? Harvey, it seems that you also think the nickname Shaq is a good fit for him? ”
"Of course! Haha! We've got another gem in Leeds! Simon, you must train him! Give him more chances, he needs to play more games to gain experience. ”
Simon Grayson nodded with a smile on his face, he has also been paying close attention to Wang Tiezhu's training in the past few days, although he doesn't know what Wang Tiezhu's physical condition is, but judging from Wang Tiezhu's performance in training every day, he believes that at least the current training volume will not cause harm to Wang Tiezhu, but this training volume is already twice that of ordinary players, this kid ...... Maybe he's really a genius!
In fact, Simon Grayson has specially communicated with youth training director Chris Sully about how to use Wang Tiezhu, and after learning that Wang Tiezhu has almost no adaptation process to fully adapt to the doubling of the training volume, Chris Sully, who can be regarded as Wang Tiezhu's enlightenment mentor, is also dumbfounded, and he also has the same opinion as Harvey Shalman, Wang Tiezhu must get more opportunities to play and accumulate more game experience.
Simon Grayson also agreed with Chris Sully's suggestion, he has already made plans, even if he sacrifices Leeds United's record this season, he must give Wang Tiezhu more opportunities to play, because only a large number of games will make a young player mature quickly, and when Wang Tiezhu matures, the combat effectiveness of the "Young Guard" can really burst out.
Simon Grayson has not yet announced his squad for tomorrow's trip to Birmingham City after afternoon training on September 17, but he has called Wang Tiezhu to his office alone.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
When Wang Tiezhu appeared in front of Simon Grayson, he had a smile on his face, the head coach found him the day before the game, which should not be a bad thing, and considering his performance in training this week, I believe that he will definitely have the opportunity to play again in tomorrow's game.
Simon Grayson smiled and nodded: "Shaq, sit, I came to you to tell you about tomorrow's game, how about it?" You've been training hard lately, do you have any thoughts on tomorrow's game? ”
Wang Tiezhu grinned and said, "Hehe, I obey your arrangement!" ”
"Hahahaha, cunning boy!"
Simon Grayson had a sense of closeness to Wang Tiezhu, a kid trained in his own academy, and now he likes him more and more, and immediately laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, don't pretend there, you must want to play in your heart, right?" ”
"Hey...... Hey! ”
Wang Tiezhu was silent, and took out his signature smile to keep up with the changes, Simon Grayson smiled and shook his head slightly: "Alas, I also came from your age, so I can also understand what players of your age are thinking!" Shaq, I'll send you to play the starting lineup tomorrow! ”
"Ahh
Wang Tiezhu glared at him in surprise and grinned, he really didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to start so soon.
"But ......"
Simon Grayson said solemnly: "I have one requirement for you, and there is only one, you can think of it as a mission, a mission, or anything else, but you have to do it!" ”
"Boss, you say, I promise to complete the task!"
"Yes!" Simon Grayson nodded vigorously: "Your task in tomorrow's game is to erect a barrier in our midfield, I don't care what method you use, in short, you must completely disrupt the opponent's midfield, and you must not let them easily organize an effective attack!" To put it simply, I want you to be a midfield meat grinder, no matter whether Birmingham's attack chooses the air or the ground, this attack must be cut off in front of you, at least let their attack get stuck! Got it? ”
"Understood!"
"Can it be done?"
"Of course!"
Wang Tiezhu's self-confidence surprised Simon Grayson, this kid only played a professional game, but where did his confidence come from?
Wang Tiezhu's self-confidence is, of course, from ...... Blackfoot!
Wang Tiezhu, who has the "black foot" system, believes that as long as he can play in professional games, he can get a skill point in one game, and he can get more than 30 skill points or more in a season............ It's invincible!
It's funny to talk about Birmingham, who won the Carabao Cup last season but were part of three relegated teams in the English Premier League, while their chairman, Yeung Ka-shing, is a Chinese from Hong Kong.
After the relegation, the Birmingham team was originally regarded as the favorite to hit the English Premier League this season, but after the resignation of their manager McLeish, the new manager Chris Hughton is really average, and now he is only in the middle of the Champions League, and the pressure from fans and club management is that this team must win this home game against Leeds United, and even the odds offered by the bookmaker are that Birmingham have the advantage.
The "Young Guards" played so thrilling at home against Millwall in their last game, and even conceded a goal first, and now it is even more dangerous to meet a stronger Birmingham side away from home.
The only thing Birmingham are worried about is the fragile defence behind their formidable midfield, with three wins, one draw and two defeats in six games, scoring 10 goals is not a small number, but they have conceded 11 goals, which is enough to prove that the team's results have indeed been dragged down defensively.
On the afternoon of September 18, the day of the game, the local weather in Birmingham was still very good, the sky was clear and the temperature was 17 °, it was really suitable for a football match, Leeds United arrived in Birmingham at noon by bus, which was also the time for Leeds United to pinch it themselves, and now the "Young Guard" is in a state of thrift, and the stingy chairman Ken Bates did not think about arriving in the game city in advance to stay in the hotel to give the players a better rest for this ordinary league.
Fortunately, the Leeds United players are really used to this rhythm, they have been used to the hard work in recent years, the 600,000 pound cap salary system, saving everywhere, the "Young Guard" is waiting for the next outbreak.
However, Ken Bates's stinginess has also brought a little benefit to the team, head coach Simon Grayson can take the opportunity of the game to bring the whole team away, and the team's expenditure will not be much more, which can also increase the cohesion and unity of the team, and in response to this, Simon Grayson will not announce the game appearance list even if he has drawn up the game in advance, so as to motivate the players to have a positive attitude, as for the fact that he told Wang Tiezhu in advance that he would play the starter, it is just a special case, He believed that telling Wang Tiezhu the news early would help him adjust his mentality.
In the away team locker room at St Andrews Stadium, Simon Grayson announced his team's starting list, the starting lineup of forwards and defenders did not cause any surprises, and it was normal for midfielders Jonny Hausen and Michael Brown to start, but when Wang Tiezhu's name was read, there was still some small confusion in the locker room, and everyone's eyes were on Wang Tiezhu, no one could have imagined that Wang Tiezhu would take the starting position with a rocket.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Tiezhu just calmly checked the spikes of his sneakers, and then put the shoes on his feet, of course, his mood was not so calm as it appeared, but he was not nervous, he just felt a little excited, he had already made up his mind, all the skill points obtained this season were added to the defensive side, so that he could become a qualified midfielder next season.
When the players of Leeds United came out one after another to warm up, Wang Tiezhu was stunned when he saw the St Andrews stadium, and he suddenly had a familiar feeling, and the five-star red flags that could be seen everywhere in the stands were fluttering, which made him lose his mind for a moment, and even have a little bit of a cordial feeling.
"Shaq, what's wrong with you?"
Jonny Hausen patted Wang Tiezhu on the shoulder, as the captain of the team and Wang Tiezhu's friend, Jonny Hausen is still very concerned about Wang Tiezhu, especially this game is Wang Tiezhu's first start, if he does not perform well in this game, the points earned for him on the bench last time may all be deducted.
"Huh...... Hehe......"
Wang Tiezhu grinned and turned his head: "Jonny, do you believe it?" I have a feeling that I will definitely play really well in this game! Very, very good! ”
After leaving these words, Wang Tiezhu trotted to warm up, leaving a Jonny Hausen looking at his back with his mouth slightly wide open......
Yes!?
It's going to be great!?
And it's very, really good!?
This...... What the fuck is this!?
Jonny Hausen really can't understand what is the situation of this little brother from the Academy, he is only a first-time starter, and he is playing away from home, and he has also encountered Birmingham, an opponent who was a super team last season, how can this kid be so confident?
ps: Trouble brothers, it's okay to rush off the new book list next Monday? At that time, please help the brothers vote more, the list is successful, everyone has a holiday, and it will be doubled by 4 and more explosive!
Luckily?
