Chapter 11: This Boy......

On the best training ground at Thorpe Arch Training Base, 24 players of the Leeds United first team are training under the leadership of physical coaches Matt Pierce and Alex Davies, the style and level of the English Championship and the English Premier League are different, they are more focused on relying on physical strength and impact to beat the opponent, after all, the players with high tactical literacy have basically been picked by the super team, they don't take the physical route, and the team can't play that kind of cumbersome and complicated tactics.

Wang Tiezhu ran with the team, and he was not inferior to Keoh Andrew and Robert Snodgrass, the best physical players in the Leeds United team, and the three of them quickly ran ahead of the others.

This is Wang Tiezhu's first training session after coming to the first team, and Simon Grayson and his assistant Green Snowing attach great importance to it, and they need to get to know the young man as soon as possible, so that they can make the most of his use in the future.

"Hey, Simon, I think Shaq's fitness is pretty good!"

"Yes! Looks good, little one...... There should be some future, but it still depends on his performance on the field. ”

Green Snowing and Simon Grayson have both discovered that Wang Tiezhu, who is only eighteen, is really strong in terms of physical fitness, and now they basically don't worry about Wang Tiezhu's physical condition, and a player who can run like this will definitely not be too bad in other aspects of his body.

The two coaches naturally don't know that if Wang Tiezhu hadn't used "black feet" to reduce the surname of the injured genus from 12 to 2, the original Zach Thompson would have been a "glass man" at all, although his physical condition is really quite good, with 15 explosiveness, 15 flexibility, 15 balance, 17 bounce, 15 physique, 16 speed, 15 endurance and 17 strength, but he is still a "glass man" who may not be able to play a few games on the court and will be injured.

However, now that Wang Tiezhu is no longer troubled by injury tendencies, his body can really only be described by words like strong and beast, and this body will also become the capital that Wang Tiezhu relies on to make a name for himself on the green field.

During this time, Wang Tiezhu also found a problem, that is, although he was more playful in training, he felt that he had also improved a lot in terms of technology, but his technical value in the "black foot" system was never very high, which also made him feel very contradictory, could it be said that he had no room for improvement after having this system?

If that's the case, how do you get skill points that increase caste value?

It's been a long time, and Wang Tiezhu hasn't found a way to get skill points, but he believes that with Zach Thompson's perfect body, choosing the position of back midfielder is still very promising.

After the physical training, Simon Grayson and Green Snowing began to practice tactics with the team, and Wang Tiezhu, because he had just been promoted from the youth team, after seeing his excellent physical performance, they also wanted to see how the little guy was doing in terms of tactical literacy.

For a footballer, it's not just that you have the body and the skills to play well, tactical literacy is also a very important factor, especially for a midfielder.

Once the squad was split into two teams, the Leeds United players began to practice, but it was not an in-house training match, it was just a simple tactical exercise, with manager Simon Grayson blowing the whistle every now and then giving the players an explanation on how to pass the ball and how to move the other players.

Wang's job is quite simple, he is placed in front of Ben Parker, Andrew O'Brien, Darren O'Brien, Darren O'Di, and Paul Connolly, and his job is to block the attack of the main midfielders led by Jonny Hausen.

After about 20 minutes of training, Simon Grayson and Green Snotting understood that this little guy nicknamed "Shaq" really had a shark-like ferocious aura on the court, although the cooperation with the back line was not in place, but it was extremely brave in one-on-one grappling, whether it was Jonny Howson, who had good ball skills, or experienced Michael Brown, or the extremely fast left midfielder Aidan White, as long as he was entangled by Wang Tiezhu, there was no other way than passing, Because this kid has only one move at all, he comes up with his body to collide with you reasonably, and then uses a good speed to keep up, when your body is a little unbalanced, he will poke the ball out, although Wang Tiezhu can't control the direction of the ball after the ball is broken, but he can hinder or even disintegrate the opponent's attack, which is already the completion of the task.

Wang Tiezhu's shortcomings have also been exposed, when he helps organize his own attack, he often has a bad grasp of the timing and route of passing, although he is an offensive player, but his skills are really too rough compared to these people in the first team.

However, Simon Grayson is quite satisfied, what he needs now is such a back who can grab, fight, and be tough enough, as for the lack of experience in the game and the rough technique, it can be trained slowly!

In order to test Wang Tiezhu, Simon Grayson specially asked Jonny Howson and others to try to break through him, and even asked other players to help play two-by-one, and then look at Wang Tiezhu's reaction, and Wang Tiezhu really did not disappoint them, according to his understanding of the back, once he found that he had no way to stop the opponent's attack alone, he would immediately withdraw to a closer place to the back line, and his teammates to intercept the opponent, instead of doing it alone, when Wang Tiezhu retreated, His pace was on display, and he was able to drop back to his own back line almost in the blink of an eye, and then his good header ability came into play, and he was able to switch positions with the centre-backs to mark the opposition strikers.

By the end of the morning's practice, Wang's performance had already won the satisfaction of Simon Grayson and the attention of the first-team players.

Jonny Hausen walked up with an excited smile and slapped Wang Tiezhu with his fist: "Hey, Shaq, you are really cruel!" I didn't expect you kid to be so beautiful, and Michael, Aidan and I couldn't break through you! Work hard and you'll succeed, and then we'll go and fight those super teams together! ”

Ben Parker also came over and hugged Wang Tiezhu's neck: "Hey, Shaq, I really can't believe that our youth team has such a great guy as you, I haven't seen you before, when did you come to the team?" ”

Ben Parker is only 23 years old, but he has been with Leeds United for 10 years, but he has spent most of that decade in the youth team, with two more seasons on loan, and only last season did he establish himself in the first team and become a solid first-team left-back.

Jonny Hausen also said curiously: "Yes, Shaq, I've been on the team for eight years, when did you join?" ”

Wang Tiezhu said with some embarrassment: "That...... In fact...... Well, I actually only moved from the Everton Academy in January this year. ”

"Wouldn't it? Everton's youth system is excellent, why didn't they keep you? ”

"Holy! No way? What kind of vision does Everton have, they don't want a talented midfielder like you? ”

Speaking of this problem, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but grin: "Actually, just three months ago, I was a striker, but I changed to a new position." ”

Yes!?

Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker opened their mouths in surprise, looking at Wang Tiezhu like a monster, a person who plays as a striker is so good only three months after turning into a midfielder, this is ...... That's against the sky, isn't it?

"Tell me, Shaq, tell us what's going on! There's definitely a story in there! ”

Ben Parker didn't have the composure of the game at all at this time, just like a girl who likes to gossip, waiting for Wang Tiezhu to tell them stories with a monkey face.

Wang Tiezhu didn't hide it, anyway, the cause and effect of his transformation to play in the back waist was known in the youth team, and he immediately said that he was injured unexpectedly, and said that he didn't want to be kicked anymore, so he changed to a defensive player, of course, he would not leave Chris Sullie's insight into the fact that he had already mobilized him to play defensive player, but no one expected that he would really do a good job in the back position, and he was lucky to be promoted to the first team.

Such a legendary story, Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker were fascinated by it, and when Wang Tiezhu finished telling himself, he found that there were a few teammates standing behind him, all of whom were full of incredulity.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, who would have believed that such a bizarre thing would happen, a striker was injured once, and then transformed into a midfielder, and in three months, he actually played from the youth team to the first team, and looking at his previous performance, it was really very potential, this kind of thing is too!

When Wang Tiezhu told the story to his new teammates, Simon Grayson took his coaching staff to pick up the training equipment and left the training ground with a smile on his face, and Green Snowing couldn't hide his excitement and nagged in his ear: "Simon, this little guy is awesome!" Chris, that guy didn't read that wrong this time, this kid is really a back-back genius! We've found a treasure this time! Hahaha! ”

Simon Grayson laughed: "Green, Shaq still has a lot to learn, but I also admit that this kid is a material worthy of our full development, an eighteen-year-old midfielder can perform like this, as long as we can give him the opportunity to play, I can't imagine what will become of him when he matures in two or three seasons!" ”

"Hah, so in the next game we play at home against Millwall, Shaq has a chance?"

Simon Grayson looked down and thought as he walked, hesitated for a moment and said, "Still no, our team's tactics have been practiced for a long time, and if you suddenly put Shaq in it, there will be problems." Besides, we promised Chris that we would use Shaq sparingly, so we can't be too eager! But ......"

Simon Grayson laughed slyly: "We can still put him on the bench, and if we have the advantage to secure the victory, then let him come on the pitch and feel the atmosphere of the game, so that it will not only work out Shaq, but also not let Chris find fault." ”

"Alas, Simon, what a cunning fellow! Hahahaha......"
