Although they were only against Derby County, who were at the bottom of the league, a win was crucial for Wigan Athletic, who had drawn three games in a row and were in a very unfavourable situation.

The negative impact of the results is also related to the atmosphere of the team's weekday training and the performance of the game, if you can win one game, the situation will be reversed, and there will be no more that low atmosphere in training, and everyone will be active again.

At the same time, Wigan fans have a lot of confidence in the team.

After the game, many fans interviewed reporters expressed their confidence in the team's future and the team's achievements this season.

"We're a small team, but Jeville never let us down!"

'I booked a season ticket and I go to see every home game, I love the games at home, it's an exciting atmosphere and the team plays well every time.

'I also hope to see the team promoted to the Premier League in my lifetime and now the team gives me hope.' Said an elderly Wigan fan.

The support of the fans is good for the club.

At the same time, the outside media's comments on Wigan Athletic were no longer worried, and a victory broke the embarrassment of three consecutive games, which not only regained confidence, but also let the outside media see Wigan Athletic's strong strength.

Even if Derby County is a weak team, it is very unusual to be able to beat the opponent by three goals in an away game.

Several players who performed well in the game also received a lot of praise, such as Ellington, such as Makalocchi, such as Riddle, and Zhang Tiehan.

There are a lot of reports about Zhang Tiehan, but most of the media take a wait-and-see attitude, they don't say bad things about Zhang Tiehan, but they don't praise him, they just say that in the game, he scored a goal, and this goal is the first goal is very important, that's all.

The media also cares about face.

What they can affirm, if there is something that attracts the attention of fans, they will report it, but Zhang Tiehan plays as a striker, it is really hard to imagine, even if he scores a goal in this game, but just like this, no media dares to assert that he can succeed in the striker position.

In a game, there is too little data, and there is too little to say.

As the Manchester Morning Post put it, "This young man has potential, but whether he can adapt to his new position depends on his performance in the future." We'll see. ”

The Manchester Morning Post will wait and see, as will the rest of the media.

Wigan Athletic, meanwhile, are still training normally, and although they have just had a league game, they have not had time off lately, all because of the Carabao Cup in the middle of the fixtures, with Chelsea taking place in midweek and heading to London for Stamford Bridge four days later.

It was four days later, but the players were still in a really good mood after winning the first round of the league.

Zhang Tiehan is the same.

In the previous training, Zhang Tiehan felt that he could perform well in the position of center forward, but after all, it was training, not a real game, and he didn't dare to guarantee how well he would perform in regular games, and he was even a little nervous when playing against Derby County, he would think about what the fans thought and what the media thought, especially when he didn't perform well.

That made him nervous, and now that the game was over, he was relieved, and in retrospect he felt that there was no need for that kind of nervousness.

Jewell thinks he's fit to play centre-forward, he's adapting himself, so what's hesitating about?

So in this day's training, Zhang Tiehan felt very relaxed, he felt that he was gradually adapting to the new position, but in training, occasionally Jewell would let Zhang Tiehan return to his original position to participate in defense, after all, offense is important, defense is equally important.

Being able to play as a striker and a defensive midfielder is something that no one doesn't like, and Jevier is no different, which ensures tactical versatility in the squad.

For example, when the team is ahead and needs to defend solidly to defend the goal, Zhang Tiehan's characteristics of surprising defensive ability are shown, and they don't even have to make substitutions, just let Zhang Tiehan retreat to the backcourt, and the defense is much more stable.

That's the advantage.

There are very few players with this kind of advantage, and it is often difficult for the jack-of-all-trades players on the pitch to make a difference, after all, it is already difficult for a player to do well in one aspect, and it is even more difficult to do both.

Zhang Tiehan is one of them.

"I admire you more and more now." During training, assistant coach Strumon smiled at Jewell, "When Zhang came to the team, I thought you were crazy, it was a young player who was listed by Manchester United, think about it, how many can there be in a few years?" Eighteen years old...... This young Manchester United's strategy has always been on loan. ”

Jewell listened to the joy in his heart, everyone likes others to praise themselves, even if it is a compliment, "I didn't expect him to be so good, I just felt that I should strengthen the defense at the back." ”

"Anyway, you're doing the right thing, and when it's Christmas, Nelson shouldn't be dictating to transfers anymore." St. Blanc Road.

Jewell nodded.

In terms of transfers, Jewell has enough rights, but Nelson also often expresses some opinions, after all, Jerville has a fancy to any player, and it is Nelson who is responsible for the transfer.

Last summer, the transfers of Ellington and Makalocchi were the starting point for Jewell's success at Wigan Athletic. Ellington and Macarocchi, plus Riddle, who was originally at the heart of the team, made up an attacking line that swept League Two.

Now there is another example of Zhang Tiehan's success this time, and in terms of transfer, Jewell can fully do what he says.

……

After a day of normal training, Jewell began to work on the tactics of the game against Chelsea the next day.

Compared to Wigan Athletic, Chelsea is like a big mountain, it is too difficult to cross this mountain in the normal way, and if you want to cross it, or even have the capital to cross it, you have to be prepared.

Therefore, it is necessary to do targeted training a few days before the game.

The whole team, every player is very serious, no one has a slack mood for training, everyone is working hard, they are fighting, which makes the atmosphere of training surprisingly good, but in the same way, the atmosphere in the team is not as relaxed as yesterday, but more dignified.

Zhang Tiehan is the same.

Thinking about going to London in two days and playing against the mighty Chelsea, he will feel the excitement and the pressure, yes, the pressure, against that kind of strong opponent, against tens of thousands of fans, in a tsunami-like atmosphere, against a strong opponent, it will be very stressful.

It's just pre-match training, but seriousness is undoubtedly necessary.

Like Zhang Tiehan, the other Wigan Athletic players are feeling the weight and pressure, and they all feel a lot of pressure when they want to play against Chelsea.

Everyone is like that, and the overall atmosphere of the players can be imagined.

At the same time, mistakes in training are on the rise.

"Ian, you pass accurately, I can't catch up with such a long pass!"

"Sorry, Andy, I was offside just now."

"Pay more attention to passing, don't dribble too much, that will increase the number of mistakes!" Assistant coach St. Brown shouted at the pitch to warn the crowd.

Jewell looked at the training, his heart was a little heavy, but there was a slight smile on his face, "They all worked hard, I am very happy." He said so.

"Yes, Paul!" Strumn agreed.

'Coming up against Chelsea, Ander, are you nervous?' Jewell asked Sturbrown.

"Nervous? You say me? Strum shrugged, pointed to the pitch and joked, "Do you think I'm strained for time?" ”

"Ha Luha, I'm so embarrassed."

Jewell smiled and apologized, Strum really didn't have time to be nervous, he was busier than the players on the field, running back and forth all morning, reminding everyone of the mistakes in training, and until the players gave targeted guidance, how to run, how to pass and receive, when to shoot, etc., all of which needed to be reminded by him.

This is the responsibility of an assistant coach.

The two partners have a very tacit understanding, Jewell is responsible for the overall planning, but the details of the training are handed over to Stellans, so Sternbrown is very busy, and Jeville, as the head coach, is very idle.

Jewell saw the tension in the training atmosphere in the team, but he was a little happy, not like this he would be unhappy.

The players were nervous because they had to face Chelsea.

If they are not nervous at all, it means that they don't care about the game, then Jewell will be unhappy, no coach likes players who admit defeat against strong opponents, everyone is nervous, it means that everyone cares about the game.

Although Jewell himself said before that the game does not matter, the game is a game of victory and defeat, and who is involved in it does not care about the victory or defeat.

Participate in the contest and you want to win!

Whether it's Zhang Tiehan, or other players, or even those old players who are about to go on, they all want to win against Chelsea, they all want to create miracles. Only those who pay attention to the game will be nervous, and everyone is nervous means that everyone is focused on the game.

That's the best!

What about the mighty Chelsea?

Jewell wanted to win, but in order to show the level of the team, he told the players that it didn't matter if they won or lost, but most of the players in the team were adults, and they didn't think that winning or losing didn't matter because of the coach's words, they had their own criteria.

They want to win! Really want to win!

What could be more exciting than beating an opponent who is stronger than you?

Chelsea, very strong.

But we are not weak either!
