Chapter Ninety-Five: Recruitment

When there are no games for a while, my teammates will go to relax after training, especially the 'Dali Bar', which many people have loved since last time, with its friendly fans and beautiful girls.

It's a good place to spend time.

It's just that Zhang Tiehan is an exception, whenever he thinks about the last time he saw Beth there, he feels weird, and more importantly, he has to train himself.

With a new training program, his life is busy again.

Especially when he practiced, training alone often didn't have any effect, so he found Belonte again, but Beronte was not a good training partner, although he was young, he was not as good as Jewell, Jewell was still a football player when he was young, and Belonte was not good at sports at all.

So Zhang Tiehan could only use Belonte as a stake.

It's better to have a stake than nothing, and the advantage of having a stake is that he can simulate some movements, and he can also be a little guide, so that Belonte knows how to defend...... Although the latter thinks that it is completely useless to learn these on their own.

Fortunately, in daily training, Zhang Tiehan doesn't have to worry about this, and many teammates are willing to help him train.

"Don't turn around easily!" Brejin stood behind Zhang Tiehan, staring cautiously, he would not show mercy in the face of Zhang Tiehan, "It's not easy for you to get rid of me, Zhang, I'm the team's main central defender." ”

Brekin was smug.

Usually in the training ground, I want to abuse Zhang Tiehan, but I really can't find a chance, but now it's different, Zhang Tiehan is training to get rid of, he can grab the ball from Zhang Tiehan's feet again and again, every time he grabs the ball, Brejin feels comfortable, which is also one of the reasons why he is willing to help Zhang Tiehan do training.

Brekin's defense was pretty good.

Especially when Zhang Tiehan is not skilled in getting rid of it, he does a lot of actions very poorly, most of them rely on his body to make breakthroughs, and his ability to control the ball is poor, as long as Bregin's prediction is accurate, it is difficult for Zhang Tiehan to get rid of him.

Zhang Tiehan was not discouraged.

This is just the beginning, Jewell has already given detailed instructions, he has to pay attention to two parts of the escape training, one is his own ball control, and the other part is to really do the escape practice.

The former, Zhang Tiehan, has improved very quickly.

After obtaining the second Ancient Power Measure, the 'Elven Sacrificial Scepter', his soul condensation doubled, which was equal to the compatibility of his soul and body.

It's hard to understand the effect literally, but after so many days, he has learned the benefits, that is, the control of the whole body muscle strength has been greatly improved, and the grasp of the surrounding situation has been greatly improved, and the combination of the two makes it easy for him to improve the accuracy of his shooting, and at the same time, when training to control the ball, he finds that his ball control ability has also improved very quickly.

When the ball is at his feet, he has a feeling that he is very good at controlling the ball.

It seemed like he would kick the ball wherever he wanted, but when he used his strength, that kind of grasp was somewhat reduced, but it was much better than his previous ability to control the ball.

He believes that if he tries to adapt, his possession can easily improve quickly.

Zhang Tiehan has no pressure in this regard, his ball control ability has improved rapidly, not only because of the amount of ancient power, but also because of his own experience, so his improvement can still be seen.

He doesn't need to be too good, at least the ability to control the ball, then he won't be able to concede the ball so easily.

However, it will be difficult for him to really get rid of Breckin's defense, and Jewell's request is that he needs to use the ball guard to turn and flash out of space first.

Only then will he have a chance to get up and shoot.

His long-range shooting ability is good, but in fact, there are not many long-range shooting opportunities in the game, because once the opponent comes to defend, he doesn't even have room to get up at all, most of the time he relies on his teammates to pass the gap, or adjust the ball after receiving the ball, so that there is space to shoot, but when the opponent's defense is very tight, he will not have this opportunity.

He had to adapt to a tight defense.

At the same time of training, he also needs to combine getting rid of the ball with shooting, getting rid of the defender is not to dribble the ball forward, the next choice is generally to pass, or shoot, with Zhang Tiehan's position and ability, the chance to shoot is greater, so it is very important to get rid of the ball.

As an important scorer for the team, he has to be able to turn and shoot.

It sounds like just getting rid of the back and shooting a shot, but it's not easy to do, when someone comes to defend, your mind is focused on getting rid of it, you have to control the ball so that the opponent doesn't get it, and you have to pay attention to opening up the space and then shooting......

Can you really hit a quality long-range shot?

Zhang Tiehan has been training for two days, and he has not made much progress in this area, most of the time he has already gotten rid of it, but then he can only get up in a hurry.

'You have to make it a physical instinct to get rid of it and you have to keep your focus on the goal. Jewell said so.

For many people, especially those who are physically strong, they don't have to put much effort into getting rid of the defense, they rely on their bodies, they just need to make good moves, and the opponent will not have a chance to grab the ball, and then turn around and shoot directly, and the mind will naturally be used to shoot, as long as this can shoot high-quality balls.

Zhang Tiehan is still working in that direction.

However, it is true that he is getting better and better, and the whole team can see it, especially Bregin, Barnes and others who have trained with him, at the beginning, Zhang Tiehan couldn't even get rid of the basics, but as the days passed, his improvement was quite obvious, and he was already able to shoot after getting rid of it.

Although this kind of shot is not threatening many times, it is much stronger than at the beginning, at least it is not easy for them to grab the ball at the feet of Zhang Tiehan.

This obvious improvement made Zhang Tiehan very happy, and his motivation for training was even more full.

……

This winter, Jevier has to add some players to the team.

For him, the main lineup has basically stabilized, with Ellington and Zhang Tiehan in the front, Riddle, Macarocchi, Kennedy, Bullard and others in the midfield, and excellent defenders such as Brepin and Barnes in the backfield.

The main squad is strong, and the first half of the schedule proved that the main squad is still fine, as long as they play well, they can compete with the Premier League teams.

In comparison, the quality of the substitute players is much worse.

Considering the cold weather in England from January to March, there are likely to be a number of injuries and fitness issues in the squad, and he will have to add some bench depth to the squad and, defensively, find some players to play and solidify the backline.

First of all, Jewell signed two players on free transfer, Neuerson and Burano, the former is a full-back who has been mixed in League One and has a mediocre performance, and the latter is a defender who played for Middlesbrough two years ago, but due to his age, his form is not as good as before, and he can only transfer to the lower leagues on a free transfer.

Neuerson is mediocre enough to complement the depth of the bench in midfield.

Burano is 33 years old, but he has a lot of experience and Jevier is hoping that the arrival of the veteran will add some experience to the team's young players.

Up front, Jewell also extended Jove Holyfield on loan for half a season.

Jove Holyfield's average performance may have something to do with his lack of appearances, but in the few appearances, he still scored two goals, and Jewell is more interested in Holyfield's tactical importance, and his salary and rent are not high, it only costs less than 300,000 pounds to keep him in the team for an extra six months, which is still well worth it.

Holyfield was somewhat unhappy with his place in the team, but his performances returned to Birmingham and he had to be loaned out to the lower leagues.

Instead of going to other lower league teams, it is better to go to Wigan Athletic, at least Wigan Athletic is already familiar with it, and the results are good, so he agreed.

Jewell has made no other signings up front.

In fact, he not only did not bring in reinforcements, but also to prevent the team from being poached, half a schedule down, Wigan Athletic ranked fourth in the league, the results are quite good, the team that performs well will definitely be targeted by other teams, their frontcourt performance is good There are many players, Ridell, Ellington, Macarocchi, and of course, Zhang Tiehan.

In particular, Ellington, Zhang Tiehan and Riddle are three very hot players in the winter.

Three clubs have made bids for Ellington, with the highest price offered at £3.4 million, which is double the price when Ellington moved to Wigan Athletic.

There are seven clubs vying for Ridell.

Riddle's performance is undoubted, and the strength is undoubted, and people with some vision can know that Riddle's ability has fully reached the level of the Premier League's core midfielder, and the midfielder, especially the core midfielder, is the most scarce in England, and almost all English clubs lack core midfielders with superb skills, good overall view, and outstanding passing ability.

In the transfer market, Ridell's value has soared to £7 million.

This price is also due to the fact that he has only played for Wigan Athletic and has not proven himself in other teams or big competitions.

Zhang Tiehan also received a lot of attention.

With a half-fixture schedule, the third highest scorer in League One and a stellar performance in the Carabao Cup, many teams have shown interest in him.

However, there are too many forward-type players, there are too many talents, the third highest scorer in League One, which is nothing for many top league teams, and there are only four clubs that have really made a purchase.

Aston Villa and Chelsea were the most sincere, with the former offering a high price of £6 million and the latter offering half a million pounds more than Aston Villa.

Of course, everyone knows that Chelsea are wronged......

The price they offer is always the highest.

Even in terms of the price offered by Aston Villa, Zhang Tiehan's worth has soared fifteen times in half a year.

Zhang Tiehan also knows about this, his idea is very simple: he still wants to prepare for the championship at Wigan Athletic, here he is the main player, there is no need to worry about the chance to play, only a mere six million pounds, just want him to give up everything here?

What's more, the six million pounds were not given to him and were completely meaningless.

In the face of these two offers, Jewell also directly and firmly refused, compared to the team's hope of promotion to the Premier League, six million pounds is nothing.

If the team has no hope of being promoted to the Premier League, he will probably consider it, but if he can be promoted to the Premier League, the share of TV rights next season alone can be at least more than 20 million pounds, which is still from an economic point of view, if from the perspective of the team's strength, he is even more unlikely to sell Zhang Tiehan.

Not to mention Zhang Tiehan, he will not sell the main players of any team at all.

It's all about getting promoted to the Premier League.

At this time, the league is also approaching.

On January 10, the League One fixture will start again after a two-week hiatus, and Wigan Athletic's opponents are Millwall, for whom they will definitely be remembered as the only team to beat Wigan Athletic this season.

The game is approaching, and Zhang Tiehan is training harder.

Jewell didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to really apply his ability to get rid of it before the game against Millwall.

It's unrealistic.

But Zhang Tiehan didn't think so, he wanted to improve himself as much as possible, so that he could make himself stronger as soon as possible!
