It is not easy to improve one's skills, and in the field of professional football, the scope of one's skills is too wide and covers too many things, most of which are developed by a player at a young age.

For example, the footwork of breaking through with the ball quickly is often a fast full-back must have this ability.

Others may not be slow, but if you want to break through in a fast dribble, you can't practice it overnight.

Zhang Tiehan didn't want to improve his personal skills in an all-round way, he only wanted to improve one aspect, that is, when receiving the ball, the ability to quickly stop the ball in a small area, change direction, etc., to leave space for himself to shoot, and the ability to directly complete a long-range shot.

The former can be done very well by most professional players, it is very complicated to say, it is just to catch the ball - stop - shoot, that's all, Zhang Tiehan can also complete it, but he is not very good at it, if the opponent can defend well, it is difficult for him to get rid of the opponent and leave space for himself to shoot.

As for the latter...... That's not something that ordinary players can do, it's very simple to catch the ball and keep shooting directly, but it's not easy to shoot directly from a distance, let alone shoot a threatening ball. Since it is a long-range shot, it is definitely not in the penalty area, outside the penalty area, when it is more than 20 meters away from the goal, it is obviously too high to shoot directly without stopping the ball and shoot a threatening ball.

Even the best players in the world are very difficult to do.

But Zhang Tiehan thinks he can do it.

He's a lot more powerful than the average player, and after a few months of training for long-range shots, his accuracy is very good, and all he needs to train is whether he can play the right way when he reacts on the fly.

It is not easy to improve in individual training, the team has to complete normal training, and it also has to conduct intensive leagues, so Zhang Tiehan does not have much time to train alone, and he often needs to practice.

That can only be found in Belonte.

Beronte has never played professional football, but his research on the theory of football skills is not bad, some people think that it is just on paper, several assistant coaches and youth team coaches of the team are not optimistic about Beronte, and Zhang Tiehan believes him.

Those things in Belonte, when used on ordinary players, are probably not of much use, but in terms of shooting training, he can bring a lot of benefits to himself, and his guidance is very helpful to himself.

On the same day, Zhang Tiehan put forward his own ideas to Belonte, and soon the next day, Belonte gave some suggestions.

"You need to find a teammate to train with, otherwise it won't improve a lot." Beront said this after the last.

Zhang Tiehan also knows.

He trains on his own, even with Belonte, which really doesn't have much effect, after all, Belonte is not a professional player, and he can't be a 'passing machine'.

So he approached Ridell and asked him to help train.

Ridell has always had a good relationship with him, but Ridell loves to go to nightclubs, and there is certainly not much time to help him train.

But lately, Ridell may have been very idle, and it is said that he met up with the barmaid Dali, and as a result, Ridel became very 'well-behaved' and hadn't been out at night for a long time.

……

"Hey, Andy, do you want to go out and play together tonight?" Bregin asked with a grin.

"No, I'm going to help Zhang train for two hours, and I think that will help me too." Ridell was tidying up his things.

"What?"

Bregin looked at Riedell with incredulous eyes, and he couldn't think of any old friend who would do that.

Extra practice? What's that? Isn't that a proper noun that belongs to Zhang Tiehan?

"Yes, you heard me right, Ian, it's not good to always go to nightclubs, you're a professional footballer, and don't you like that girl named Bernice?" She definitely doesn't like you going to nightclubs every day. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Brekin was unsure.

"Of course, no girl likes her boyfriend to go to a nightclub all day." Zhang Tiehan walked over and said.

"No, no!" Brejin reacted immediately and said, "It's none of your business, Andy, what I'm asking is, why would you agree to train with Zhang...... If it's normal for you, you'd definitely rather sleep at home! ”

Bregin's eyes suddenly flashed with 'gossip', and he asked, "Is it because of Dali?" ”

Ridell glanced at Brekin and walked away.

Zhang Tiehan said, "Ian, don't you know that in another week, it will be a game against Everton?" ”

"Of course I know, but what does it have to do with Andy going to train with you."

Zhang Tiehan smiled and said, "Dali said that if Wigan Athletic can win Everton and reach the final of the League Cup, she will agree to have a formal relationship with Andy." ”

"The woman?" Brygin couldn't believe it, "It's true? It can't be......"

"Really." Zhang Tiehan nodded.

"But it has nothing to do with your extra practice."

"You should learn to be helpful."

In any case, Zhang Tiehan persuaded Ridell to train with him, and Bregin, who had no one to accompany him to the nightclub, had no choice but to stay and train with them.

Zhang Tiehan was very happy, with Bregin, there would be someone to defend, and the three of them could even conduct very complex training

Zhang Tiehan was in charge of shooting, Bregin was in charge of defending, and Ridell was in charge of passing.

……

"Bump!"

Zhang Tiehan shot at the goal, smothered on the goalpost, but after a loud bang, the goalpost trembled slightly, and Brejin grinned - the ball was fortunately not pumped on him, otherwise the consequences would definitely not be good.

Zhang Tiehan stepped on the grass hard, and the corner kick was very powerful, and the surface of his feet hurt a little.

But...... It's cool!

The feeling of venting all your strength and shooting directly at the goal without stopping the ball is really cool.

He didn't think about controlling the strength, it was originally a long-range shot, the greater the force, the better, and the strength was his advantage, why should he control his advantage?

If you have more strength in the game, then the opposing goalkeeper will choose to see the right direction, and it is likely that he will not be able to save the ball.

If he can play like this in the game, his long-range shot will catch up with the threat of a header, so that he will have an additional means of scoring goals.

When the other party wants to defend against him, it will not be easy.

"Zhang, I finally know what the Tao is for, you always have to practice." Brejin looked at the trembling goalpost and said, "If I have this strength, I will practice every day." In the future, if anyone is unhappy, I will definitely pump the ball in his face. ”

"That must be exciting." Ridell answered.

Thinking of the appearance of the ball on people's faces, the three of them all laughed, but Bregin turned his mind and decided not to defend Zhang Tiehan seriously in training in the future...... If he is upset and comes to such a kick, it will be too late to cry.

……

After the match with Crystal Palace, there were many criticisms of Zhang Tiehan in the media.

Especially some media led by "Manchester Sport", they started from Zhang Tiehan's personal ability, analyzed his ability in detail, and what they said is also very reasonable, making it difficult to refute.

Why does Zhang Tiehan not score in three rounds, and his performance is worse than one game?

It's very simple, that's because the opponent has studied him thoroughly, as a striker, his goal means are too simple, most of the goals rely on headers, although the speed is fast, but now the teams in the English League, few are willing to play against Wigan Athletic, most of them are defensive counterattacks.

The opponent's main defense, even if Zhang Tiehan is fast, the advantage can't be shown, he is a center forward, not a fullback, and the speed is really not very useful.

Zhang Tiehan's goal means is single, as long as the opponent is targeted to defend, it will be difficult for him to perform.

It's very difficult for such a player to really be a good striker, because as long as the opponent understands him, he has no chance to play to his strength, and once he is really famous, more opponents will study him and find ways to stop him, and it will be even more difficult to score goals again.

In fact, they did have a point, and both Walsall and the Crystal Palace boss said in interviews after the game, "...... Sheffield United defended successfully against Zhang and that game inspired me so I asked my players to defend him. ”

Once a player becomes famous, there will always be such a thing, those really good world-class strikers, every game will be targeted by the opponent, and it is very difficult to perform.

But the media is still a little pessimistic about Zhang Tiehan's future comments, this is because Zhang Tiehan's skills are not good, and the means of scoring goals are also very simple, "His physical fitness is very good, but what he is good at is only headers and speed, as long as the opponent makes arrangements for these two aspects, it is difficult for him to have any performance." ”

'I think the game at Stamford Bridge will be the most glorious moment of his professional footballing career, it will be his best memory...... But just memories ......"

"He's only eighteen."

……

These media criticisms are in stark contrast to the previous hype, and Zhang Tiehan sees them in his eyes and remembers them in his heart.

In Zhang Tiehan's view, these media are not as good as Manchester Sport, which has always been 'dedicated' to belittle themselves, and the camp has never changed, and these media hype up when they perform well, and criticize them when they are mediocre, they are a group of clowns who tend to be inflammatory.

Just wait.

When Lao Tzu has practiced his long-range shooting skills, he will surprise you when the time comes!

Zhang Tiehan thought.

All he needs to do is train hard, develop his abilities and let the guys who say 'Stamford Bridge is a memory' know that that it will only be the beginning of his footballing life.

Training, training, training.

Immersed in training, ignoring other things, this is Zhang Tiehan's current situation, he has almost abandoned all his spare time, training, eating, and sleeping.

Others didn't know how Zhang Tiehan was doing, but the trio of Riddle, Bregin, and Beronte who had seen him train were amazed at the progress he saw with the naked eye.

They can all imagine what a sensation it will cause when Zhang Tiehan can really show the ability to 'shoot from a distance' in the game - it will be an absolute nightmare for the opponent.

Riddle smiled, "Ian, it looks like our game against Everton should be easy. ”

Bray Jinmu nodded, and then said, "Are you thinking about your Aunt Dali......"

"You mention 'aunt' again, I don't mind asking Zhang to aim the crosshair at your face." Ridell's eyes gleamed dangerously.
