Zhang Tiehan stepped onto the JJB sports field.

Looking around from the very center, the stadium is a square with a steel cantilevered roof, and the spectator seats can accommodate 25,000 fans, which is also a very good stadium. But compared to Old Trafford, there is too much difference.

Zhang Tiehan found that he was not nervous at all, having experienced the atmosphere of Old Trafford, and the atmosphere here was really a bit of a trivial.

He's very calm.

Calmly walking to his position, calmly communicating with his teammates, everything is like playing an ordinary training match, but this is not a training match, he knows that he needs to work hard.

You have to work hard!

The contradiction with C-Ronaldo made him more aware of the importance of strength, if he is an international star, it will not be himself who needs to endure, he is very unwilling.

"Zhang Tiehan, you have to work hard!" Looking at the fans around him, he said to himself.

The game restarted, and Zhang Tiehan kept running according to the team's formation, trying to adapt and integrate into the game.

There were 7,000 fans at the scene, which was not a lot, but it still filled a quarter of the stadium, and the Manchester United fans who came with the team were arranged in the north stand.

Zhang Tiehan, who just appeared, few fans know him.

Among Manchester United fans, many people have seen Zhang Tiehan, and only a few of them can call Zhang Tiehan's name, they only know that it is a tongue-twisting surname.

Not to mention the Wigan fans!

A lot of Wigan Athletic fans, who are also supporters of Manchester United, love Manchester United, after all, Manchester United are the best team in Greater Manchester. The strange thing for them was that they had never seen this young player who had just come on the pitch, this player with an oriental face, it really seemed like he had appeared out of thin air.

"I haven't heard any transfer news from Manchester United recently?"

"I don't know, but it would be nice to be able to join Manchester United."

'It could be someone from Manchester United's youth team, Manchester United has a lot of talent in the youth team and they don't need any news to join Manchester United.

Some have already guessed, but most Wigan Athletic fans don't care about Manchester United, they know Manchester United, they know Manchester United stars, but they still support Wigan Athletic.

In the Wigan Athletic coach's box, some people are also paying attention to Zhang Tiehan, who has just appeared, that is, the team's head coach Jewell.

Jewell has managed Bradford and Sheffield Wednesday, with Wigan Athletic being his third team in charge. In the eighties, when Jevier was a player, he played for Wigan Athletic, he had a lot of affection for it and he did well.

In just two seasons, Jevier led Wigan Athletic to the First Division.

Looking at the figure who had just come on the field, Jewell thought for a while before he suddenly realized, "He is a player of Manchester United's youth team, a good defender." ”

He recognized Zhang Tiehan.

As the former head coach of the second division and now the first division team, Jewell does not care much about the Super League teams, but is very interested in their second echelon, because the players of the Super League team are not at all what his team can afford, and the second tier of the giants often has some outstanding young people.

Last year, he wanted to go on loan to Eagles, who did not want to play in the second division.

This year is no different.

If you want to make a difference in the first division, you have to increase the strength of your team.

Jewell has been trying to bring in a few quality young players to add depth to the team's bench, or to develop his own stars, which he has always wanted to do because the team's funds do not allow him to buy any more good players, so he can only buy a few young players, or sign players on free transfer.

That's why he's used to watching young players who aren't famous.

In Jewell's thinking, the game on the field is also going on. It was already the second half, and with Van Nistelrooy's powerful shot from inside the box, United temporarily took a one-goal lead.

For Manchester United, the hegemon of England, playing against a team like Wigan Athletic and winning by only one goal is clearly not in the position of Manchester United.

Every Manchester United player is not reconciled.

Similarly, Wigan Athletic players are not reconciled.

Every player is working hard, and the game on the field is much hotter. As Wigan Athletic's attack was cut off, the football was passed forward by central defender Silvestre and handed to Zhang Tiehan, who then passed to Roy Keane and wanted to plug in, but seeing Roy Keane slowly moving forward with the ball, he stopped and stepped back.

This is the tactical requirement of the coaches when the team is training.

Zhang Tiehan and Keane form a double back, Manchester United's formation is 4231, in addition to Vanney in front, there are three forwards on the side of the midfield, Keane inserted then he must pay attention to the position appropriate backwards.

It's been like this several times in a row.

Zhang Tiehan has always wanted to plug in, but when he saw Keane stepping forward, he had to retreat, which was a formation requirement, otherwise he could only repeat the position of his teammates when he stepped forward, affecting Manchester United's offensive formation.

After these days of training, Zhang Tiehan has understood the work he has to do.

The position is the same as that of captain Roy Keane, who is a midfielder, and due to personal strength, whenever he plays, his partner has to come forward more to make up for his own lack of attacking ability.

All he has to do is try to defend.

To maintain their position, at any time behind the opponent's possible counterattack position, in the defensive running range should be near the front end of the penalty area, using constant running, constant interference, in order to deal with the opponent's attack, constantly bring trouble to the opponent.

That's what he does.

It's easy to say, it's not so easy to do, Zhang Tiehan has been trying to adapt, he knows that as long as he can do this job well, he will be a qualified substitute.

Qualified Substitute ...... Doesn't sound great.

However, the qualified substitutes of the Manchester United team can be compared to the main players of the general Super League players, from a youth team player, directly promoted to this level, the range to cross is very large, and it is naturally very difficult to do it, Zhang Tiehan feels that it will take a long time to adapt to this position.

He was still a little unwilling.

Because he thinks he has the ability to attack, if he only defends, the skill of 'seeing through' can only be used in one-on-one defense, and if the opponent passes the ball early, he has no way at all, so it is difficult for him to perform.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

At first, some people were curious about this new Oriental, but now few people pay attention to him, because this new player is not at all good, just running and running, not knowing what Lu Dao is doing, and occasionally getting the ball is directly passed to his teammates.

But what they didn't notice was that so did Manchester United captain Roy Keane.

The position of the back is inconspicuous, unless you have the ability to become the leader of the whole team, become a world-class star, can perform well in the attack, can become the core of the team, and control the offensive rhythm of the whole team, otherwise the back waist is actually the blue collar on the field.

A blue-collar worker, the work is very important, but it is not conspicuous.

Few blue-collar workers can become stars, and fans care more about the players who score goals, and more about the fast and skilled full-backs. Defensive players, unless they are very good guys, others are just foils.

Contrary to what the fans think, it is the players on the field at Wigan Athletic.

In their opinion, the newcomer was very difficult to deal with, his constant running forced them to pass the ball back and forth, but the pass was also dangerous, it was likely to be blocked, and they sent the ball to the opponent's feet more than once.

When Zhang Tiehan grabbed the ball in the past, some players wanted to pass him with their skills.

The results speak for themselves.

If you want to get past Zhang Tiehan one-on-one, it is really difficult, even if you don't have to 'see through', Zhang Tiehan will let him taste the taste of falling to the ground, it doesn't matter if his position is a small rule, it is more important than anything to prevent the opponent from breaking through the attack.

"Rude, difficult!" That's what Wigan Athletic players have to say.

Zhang Tiehan was not reconciled, he wanted to attack, he always felt that he had the best to score, and he was not just defending here, so he tried to step forward, but when he saw his teammates stepping forward, he could only retreat.

He didn't want to make a bad impression on old man Ferguson because of this.

Finally, in the twenty-first minute of the second half, Zhang Tiehan had a chance, Manchester United's attack was too fast, Roy Keane did not step forward, but took a few steps back to stabilize Manchester United's formation.

Zhang Tiehan and Keane glanced at each other and ran to the frontcourt.

He kept an eye on the ball and walked to the edge of the opposition penalty area in search of an opportunity. Football is on the wing, full-back Ryan Giggs's skills are too good, although he is almost 30 years old and still in the doldrums, but Giggs's technical strength is still gorgeous, and most importantly, his speed is so fast that the Wigan Athletic players can't guard him at all.

After reaching the baseline, Ryan Giggs was intercepted, he smashed the ball back, brought it back, found open space, and hoisted the ball into the box.

The attack was too fast, Wigan Athletic's defence was not yet solid, and there were few people in the box.

As soon as Giggs got up, Zhang Tiehan ran to the right, his speed was not fast, but he ran to the position as soon as the football fell.

Soccer balls fall from the sky!

Zhang Tiehan awkwardly squeezed the opposing player, jumped up and shook his head!

The football was hit, but unfortunately it flew out of the bottom line, but the Wigan Athletic fans in the audience still sweated hard, this ball is too dangerous.

"What a pity!" Zhang Tiehan shook his head and walked towards the backcourt.

This was the only good opportunity I found in 20 minutes, but unfortunately I still didn't score, and my heading skills were really poor.

Roy Keane ran over, put his hand on Zhang Tiehan's shoulder, and said, "Zhang, you did a good job just now, I didn't expect you to grab that point." ”

"That's luck." Zhang Tiehan replied.

"It seems that you have good luck today, I'm a little tired, you can plug in more and look for opportunities in a while, but you also have to pay attention to defense." Keane said.

The corners of Zhang Tiehan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "No problem, captain!" ”

"Come on!" Keane gave a thumbs up.

He can see that the young man's desire to attack, as a midfielder, should actually be more defensive, but it is just a warm-up game, and it doesn't matter if you try.
