Chapter Thirty-Six: Training Maniacs
At the end of the holiday, the players all returned to Wigan and started their normal club life, Zhang Tiehan came back two days early, and he had been training on his own for two days.
The rest of the team didn't work as hard as they did, they all came on the morning of the meeting.
After the assembly, everyone began to train normally, the training requirements of this day were very strict, and Jewell intended to see everyone's physical condition to judge whether anyone had put their holidays on women. It's just a private statement, and most of the team is complaining anyway.
Zhang Tiehan didn't, he didn't have a girlfriend at all, he still helped his father during the holidays, and he was not idle at all, so it was impossible for him to have physical problems.
Jewell praised the players whose physical fitness had not declined, while Brekin, Phelan, Jove Holyfield and several others were reprimanded by Jewell, whose physical fitness had obviously declined, and their condition was not very good, and they all looked incapable of standing on the court.
"A few of you, double your physical training from tomorrow!"
One sentence made several people complain.
The intensity of the training in the team is not high, but it is also in the upper reaches of the League One, and most of them have to drag their tired bodies away at the end of each day. Training doubled, and they all had to go home at night and fall asleep.
None of this has anything to do with Zhang Tiehan, he just follows his own training rules.
At the end of a day's training, he also practiced alone on the court, and Uncle Huo Sen, who was responsible for managing the court, was already very familiar with him, because every morning, Zhang Tiehan had to disturb Huo Sen's sleep, and at night he was the last player to go home, fortunately Huo Sen lived at the gate of the court, otherwise he would definitely be very annoyed.
In the morning, Zhang Tiehan put the window of Huo Sen's small building again and shouted, "Uncle Huo Sen, it's half past six, open the court quickly!" ”
After a long while, Huo Sen dragged his body out of the door, and said helplessly, "Zhang, you always come so early, I used to get up at seven o'clock......
"Hey, hey." Zhang Tiehan smiled embarrassedly.
Huo Sen thought about it, took out one from the keychain, and handed it to Zhang Tiehan, "This is the spare key to the stadium, from tonight, as long as you come to training, open and lock the door yourself." ”
Zhang Tiehan was stunned for a moment, solemnly took the key and said, "Uncle Xie Huosen." ”
"Thanks for what." Huo Sen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Tiehan, "If you do this every day, I will be too idle, I can even sleep until twelve o'clock at night, and my work can be done from the afternoon." ”
Horsen was right, he was in charge of the pitch and he was also in charge of some of the pitch cleaning, so he could have waited until the training session was over.
However, Zhang Tiehan is still very grateful, after all, this saves him a lot of trouble.
"Don't tell anyone that it's not in line with the club's rules." Huo Sen reminded him at the end.
With the accommodation of the stadium management Huo Sen, Zhang Tiehan's training is even harder, he gets up early every morning to train, and stays to practice at night, as long as it is not a normal training time, it is easy to hear the sound of 'touch' and 'touch' when he comes to the court.
This kind of training should be at least three hours a day.
Cahill Beronte's training plan for Zhang Tiehan is two hours a day, but Zhang Tiehan feels that the training time is more and the ability increases faster, so he has been training non-stop, in fact, in addition to training, he doesn't know what to do, in the club, life is only training and games.
It's nothing like this for one day, it's nothing like this for two days, and it's amazing all the time.
At the beginning, there were teammates who were enthusiastic and practiced with Zhang Tiehan, but after a few days, no one did it, because they couldn't hold on at all, and the ordinary training was very tiring, and it was really boring and boring to practice again, and it wasn't training with the team, and it couldn't improve much.
They don't need to practice shooting like Zhang Tiehan, and they can't do that kind of training at all.
This kind of training life is very fulfilling, Zhang Tiehan feels that his footwork is improving day by day, especially his shooting skills, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rapid growth, he can easily blast the ball into a fixed range from 20 meters away, which is already very remarkable.
Very quickly everyone in the team got used to it.
They put Zhang Tiehan in the 'different class', and even Bregin often used one sentence to describe Zhang Tiehan, "That's a madman!" You can't compare to a madman! ”
Zhang Tiehan just smiled indifferently when he heard this.
In training life, Wigan Athletic welcomed a new opponent, Watford. This team belongs to the middle of the League One team, whether it is strong or not, it is not weak, and Wigan Athletic still has a great win rate at home.
Zhang Tiehan is desperate to participate in the competition.
He still remembered Alexia's haughty face, the woman who looked down on him, thought he was just a player with no future, and he wanted to prove himself on the field.
It's a pity that he got a red card in the last round and was banned for this game.
Luckily, the FA didn't impose any additional penalty on him, and he was just banned for one game, but not being able to play a game was frustrating enough.
"Zhang, no matter who you are, you can't participate in all the competitions." Ridell comforted Zhang Tiehan like this.
Ridell is right, Zhang Tiehan is also very clear, but in fact, what he is worried about is his own strength, he wants to go to the game to prove it, this is to get the recognition of the fans, but why not prove it to himself? He needs to prove it and give himself more confidence, especially since he has just been banned from the red card and wants to find the right balance between defending and fouling and he wants to try his shots.
But this time it can't be.
On the day of the game, Zhang Tiehan didn't go to the JJB stadium, just trained in the training ground, he couldn't play the game, and he had no way to win or lose, since he didn't have the ability to decide, he simply didn't watch it, he just hoped that the team could win.
In the end, the team won 1-0 at home to Wolford thanks to a goal from full-back Matt Jackson.
With this victory, Wigan Athletic returned to fourth place in the League One table, which is quite good, and more media eyes are on Wigan Athletic, they are surprised by Wigan Athletic's performance, a promoted horse is so strong, is it really going to compete for promotion places in League One?
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked this question.
Jeville said calmly, "I and my players are happy to win the game. To be fourth in the table is an honour for us. It's too early for us to fight for promotion places, the league is just getting started and all we need to do is try to win every game. ”
The only goal of the game came from full-back Matt Jackson, but the man who had the best performance of the game was undoubtedly midfield centrepiece Riddle.
More journalists noticed Riddle.
Before Riddle was only a League Two player, he performed quite well and was only a League Two player, but in League One, he is still very good, and he is the core of this Wigan Athletic team, constantly passing the ball in the game, and bringing the whole Wigan Athletic attack to life.
He played a big part in the game.
'He's been a great player, he's always been a key player in the team and in my team Ridell is irreplaceable and his performance is about the performance of the whole team. For Ridell, Jewell had no stingy words of praise.
Ridell's performance deserves these praises.
After the game, the whole team returned to the training ground, where they could disband, and just after getting off the bus, Brejin saw Zhang Tiehan, and said, "Andy has become a big star, Zhang, you don't know how many reporters interviewed Riedell just now, including a reporter from Manchester Sport, I really wanted him to interview me, but he only asked Andy ......"
There was some grief in his words.
Zhang Tiehan heard it, because he was also very complaining, Ridell was already a little famous, after a game, the fame is getting bigger and bigger, and now the big media have begun to interview him, and he is still training hard, striving for a good performance, but it is only in the process of hard work, even if it is a game, it is difficult for his performance to catch up with Riddle.
The main reason is that he is a defensive player...... Just like Bregin, no matter how good his performance is, it is difficult to attract attention, unless one day, the England national team takes a fancy to him, then he can only become famous directly, otherwise he can only take his time.
"If you have time to envy Andy, why don't you train with me." Zhang Tiehan smiled and hooked Brekin's shoulder.
"Ahem......" Brygin was startled, his face was a little exaggerated, "I'd rather not be famous and not train like this, then I will definitely lose my life." ”
Zhang Tiehan had nothing to say.
