"Ellington! He ran into space, he received the pass, there were no defenders...... Shot-"

Then there was the overwhelming cheers in the stadium and Williams' rocket-like voice, "Goooooooooooal!" The ball is in! ”

"Ellington scored the second goal for Wigan Athletic, 2-0!"

After scoring the goal, Ellington happily hugged Riddle, and did not forget to stick out his tongue at Zhang Tiehan with a smile, as if to say, 'You see you are so attention-grabbing, and I scored a goal'.

Zhang Tiehan understood.

He also smiled and looked like he was helping Ellington celebrate his goal, and then gave him a bear hug...... It was really a bear hug, and after the hug anyway, Ellington insisted on not hugging anyone else.

He looked at Zhang Tiehan's arm, and there were some shadows in his heart.

……

Wise stood on the sidelines, nervously watching the game.

When he saw Wigan Athletic finish the goal, he didn't get angry anymore and walked back to the dugout in silence.

He knew that there was no hope for this game.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that the player has no fighting spirit, and what is even more terrible is that in the absence of fighting spirit, there is no hope of victory at all, and he suddenly feels that he is wrong. Before the game, he was afraid that the players would be careless in the game, but he felt that under the tight defense, the opponent's No. 13 would not be too threatening.

He was wrong.

Miss by a mile!

After the game, he found that his players really want to limit this No. 13, and it takes a lot of energy, and it is possible to divide several players to defend, that is, it is impossible for his players to limit this No. 13 if they want to limit this No. 13.

They can't guard against each other, and the number 13 is not at the level of League One at all.

In this game, I didn't lose in carelessness, nor in fighting spirit, I lost completely in strength, if the other party didn't have No. 13, then what the result of the game was, it's really hard to say, but Wise is sure that his team will not be so passive.

In short, losing is losing in strength.

Their strength is inferior to others, they seem to have no fighting spirit, but in fact they have nothing to say about losing.

In any case, there is no chance in this game, although there is still a lot of time left, but the result is already clear, his team will not have a chance to turn the tables again, fortunately, this is the second meeting with Wigan Athletic, and he does not have to worry about encountering this difficult No. 13 next time.

In the next game, in order to prevent Millwall from temporarily counterattacking, Jewell replaced Ellington, who had just scored, and replaced Tony Tinning to strengthen the defense.

With Ding Ning in the backfield, Bregin and Jensen, the team's defense is much more stable, so that they are not afraid that the opponent will suddenly and quickly counterattack and have no time to defend.

Offensively, without Ellington, Zhang Tiehan needs to take on more pressure.

But fortunately, the team is two goals ahead, he only needs to impact the opponent's penalty area again and again, and create pressure on the opponent, the opponent can't let him play like this, he can only pay more energy on defense, and he can't find a counterattack opportunity for a while.

Little by little, time passed.

Not to mention Millwall manager Wise, even the Millwall players know that they definitely don't have a chance.

The more they kicked, the more they couldn't find their senses, and the situation was completely disadvantaged, they had no fighting spirit at all, and as a result, Zhang Tiehan knocked on Millwall's door again with a sudden long-range shot.

Three to zero, this is also the last score.

Just looking at the score, it may be surprising, after all, Millwall is not a soft persimmon, their performance in the league is getting better and better, all the way from the bottom four of the league to the ninth place in the league, their strength is not much worse than Wigan Athletic, how can Wigan Athletic win the game so cleanly?

But if you watch the whole game, everyone will think that Millwall only conceded three goals, which is not bad.

Especially in the latter stages of the second half, Millwall was in the game with no fighting spirit, and only Zhang Tiehan scored a goal, perhaps because Wigan Athletic strengthened their defense to replace Ellington.

Either way, Wigan Athletic won.

It was their eighth consecutive league win since their win over West Ham United on 28 November. Eight consecutive league wins, a gratifying result, and Wigan Athletic have secured fourth place in the league with eight consecutive wins, pulling down Ipswich Town in fifth place by eight points, and only one point behind Sunderland in third place.

Now in the league, the top of the table is Norwich, they are only five points more than Wigan Athletic, the second place West Bromwich Albion is only one point away, Wigan Athletic has consolidated the fourth position in the league, which is equivalent to stepping into the first group of the league title, this result is quite gratifying, many Wigan and Manchester media, after the game on Wigan Athletic's results expressed optimism.

But after the game, head coach Jewell was not overjoyed, not even affected by the eight consecutive league wins, saying, "We need to work harder because there are still a lot of problems in the team. ”

However, no one paid attention to Jewell's words, and they were more than happy to interview the players.

In contrast, Zhang Tiehan is much more arrogant!

When interviewed by a reporter, Zhang Tiehan was talking about the goal in the second half, and his expression was obviously to fight back against Ellington's expression when he scored, "You don't know how many chances there are after the most difficult road, if it weren't for my bad luck, maybe I would be able to be promoted to the second place in the scorer list." ”

Ellington's face darkened as he listened.

He was substituted in the second half and did not play in the last game. Listening to Zhang Tiehan chattering about the game just now, he regretted that he shouldn't have provoked this grudge guy if he knew that he shouldn't have provoked him.

At this time, a reporter came forward to interview, "Zhang, Wigan Athletic has won eight consecutive league games, do you have anything to say about this?" ”

"Of course!" Seeing Ellington's deflated appearance, Zhang Tiehan was in a good mood, and immediately replied, "Eight consecutive wins, that's just the beginning, we still have nine consecutive wins, ten consecutive wins......"

He pointed at the reporter, completely ignoring the latter's stunned gaze, "You have to remember! Remember! ”

When Zhang Tiehan said this, he pointed his finger at the camera and smiled, and the reporters around him tacitly took a wild shot at him very tacitly, noting Zhang Tiehan's arrogant appearance. As for what Zhang Tiehan said, they understood it as 'Wigan Athletic yearns to continue to win', and as for other meanings, they consciously ignored them.

But this picture could be used to stick it in tomorrow's newspaper.

……

Around Christmas, not much attention was paid to League One matches, and Wigan Athletic ranked fourth in the league, let alone a ranking that attracted attention, and in a very silent state, Wigan Athletic won eight consecutive league games.

When many media turned their perspectives, they were surprised to see that Wigan Athletic had achieved such good results.

In December and January, around Christmas, they broke out!

Eight wins in a row......

Even in League One, it is not easy to achieve a good result of eight consecutive wins, and among other League One teams, only Norwich, who are ranked first, have won nine consecutive games in the work schedule to secure their top spot in the league, and many fans were concerned about Norwich at the time.

Now Wigan Athletic are close to overtaking Norwich.

However, in terms of league points, the two teams are three places apart, but the points difference is only five points, and Wigan Athletic has a good chance to catch up with Norwich.

The media took notice.

In England, there is still a lot of attention to the English League. In fact, England is one of the few regions that attaches great importance to the second tier, and it is clear from one statistic that the second tier in England is only 30 per cent less than the Premier League, the first tier, with an average attendance.

Last season, the Premier League averaged 27,756 attendances compared to 19,882 in League One, and the Premier League's ability to attract neutral fans and tourists suggests that League One fans are not much less than Premier League fans.

The number of fans, on the one hand, represents the willingness of the media.

Their reports on football still have to be shown to fans, and there is a market for fans, so the English media has always attached great importance to League One.

When they saw Wigan Athletic on an eight-game winning streak, they rushed to cover some news.

Zhang Tiehan was quickly excavated.

This time he appeared in a special report in the Daily Telegraph, a major English newspaper, and although it only occupied a small corner of the page, it was already quite good, after all, very few players in League One can appear on the Daily Telegraph alone.

The Daily Telegraph presents some of Zhang's profiles, as well as some stats on his performances this season, which illustrate Zhang's talent.

"We are delighted to see another young talent in the Manchester United Academy, but unfortunately this talent has left Manchester United and belongs to Wigan Athletic. ”

That's the finishing touch.

With the influence of the Daily Telegraph, which has a daily circulation of more than 500,000 copies, coupled with the clicks on the official website, this report has been seen by many people, and then many people speculate about the meaning of the Daily Telegraph.

Is it sarcasm, is it sarcasm, is it sarcasm?

I don't know.

In short, the irony is full.

Everyone knows that the Daily Telegraph supports south London football and has never been very friendly to Manchester United, perhaps because they are a right-wing politically inclined newspaper, while the Guardian, whose full name is Manchester Guardian, has a left-wing political leaning, and the competition between the two newspapers is very fierce, with the result that the Daily Telegraph never says good news about Manchester football, and its coverage of Manchester United is even more one-sided.

In short, they are not very friendly to Manchester United.

Then this report is pure irony, since the 'golden generation' in 92, there have not been any too talented players in Manchester United's academy, and now the player that Manchester United academy can take, that is, Fletcher, he is difficult to play at Manchester United, let alone compared to Beckham, Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Neville brothers, Bad Cook and other Manchester United predecessors.

Zhang Tiehan has already shown a genius side in League One, but such a genius no longer belongs to Manchester United, and was still sold by Manchester United for 400,000 pounds.

Isn't that irony?
