After experiencing a ridiculous night with no impression, Zhang Tiehan's feeling was inexplicable, he regretted drinking too much yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered anything, Beth really did it to himself? The thought of this possibility made him feel that the eggs hurt...... He is a man, a strong man, a fierce man, and he was actually pushed back by a petite girl!

But no matter what, life goes on.

After leaving Beth's house, Zhang Tiehan went straight home, and after two days of idleness, he threw himself into training.

There is no need to return to Munich this holiday, Lola has been in Manchester because of work, he has no idea what to do in Wigan alone, but fortunately he has the key to the training ground, and the old Howson has a good relationship with him, he can still enter the training ground to train.

Training, training, training......

In order to have a better performance, in order to realize your dream as soon as possible, and become a famous star, you need to continue to work hard.

Two days later, the holiday was over, his teammates were also coming to the training ground, and Jewell began to arrange tactical training again.

During this period of league interval, Wigan Athletic is very important, Jewell thinks so, he can adjust the physical fitness of some players, can carry out some tactical training that has been thought of before, and can also let the players adapt to the new tactics, after all, the use of new tactics is not long, not only Zhang Tiehan, others are also a little uncomfortable, otherwise the game will become much easier.

In this regard, Jewell has considerable confidence.

Confidence comes from the strength of the team, and more importantly, the strength of Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan has shown his dominance in the front court, and if you want to say that his specific position is now, he is actually not a real free man, he does not have so much freedom, and a free man is just an imagination, or rather, it is the future goal that Jewell has set for him.

In fact, a libero is more difficult to play than a fixed position.

Think about the 'free man' seems to be very free, but not in the tactics, the requirements for running, passing and receiving the ball are stricter, in modern football, the requirements of tactics are becoming more and more rigorous, eleven players on the playing field, everyone has a fixed game and tactical tasks, then there is one more free man, how can this free man integrate into the dense and complex tactical system?

Perhaps, fifty years ago, there were players who could have played well as 'free agents'.

Modern football tactics are much more complex than they were fifty years ago, and even the most outstanding players in the world can not really adapt to the position of a free man, not to mention Zhang Tiehan, who is already lacking in overall vision and awareness.

That's why Jewell will let other players give up their positions when they meet Zhang Tiehan.

This will affect the state of other people's games, after all, their running position is not much of a problem, and if they suddenly have to give up their position to Zhang Tiehan, the game state will definitely be affected, and sometimes they will even be at a loss.

The team's use of new tactics is far from mature, it can only be said to be just ready to use.

As everyone becomes more accustomed to the tactics, Jewell believes that the power of the new tactics will increase a lot, especially after seeing the team's recent form, and he knows that the team is slowly adapting, and this adaptation process may continue until the end of the season, but the team's performance will get better and better.

He believes that as long as the opponent can't guard against Zhang Tiehan, then the game will be much easier.

This is also the reason why Jewell believes in the new tactics.

Zhang Tiehan is the center of the tactics, Zhang Tiehan performs well, the team performs well, if he performs badly, then the cooperation of the other ten people in the team can also play a little power, which is much stronger than the previous team's offensive problems.

……

Three days later, the team got an update on the Carabao Cup draw.

The League Cup has now reached the semi-final stage, and there are only four teams left, namely Arsenal, Bolton, Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletic.

There are three Premier League teams among the four teams, but judging by the media commentary, Wigan Athletic is not the weakest team, and the most fishy of the four teams should be Bolton, who were promoted to the Premier League last season, and have great hopes of relegation in the Premier League this season, and the results are not very good, they are ranked 14th in the Premier League standings.

Compared to before, Wigan Athletic is considered by the media to be stronger than Bolton due to their excellent performance in League One and their strength in the League Cup.

The strongest of them is naturally Arsenal.

Powerful Arsenal, no need to explain at all...... They have not lost in the league so far, and with their results at the end of last season, they are unbeaten in 39 league games.

This result is quite appalling in the Premier League, which is the top flight.

Fortunately, Wigan Athletic did not meet Arsenal in the semi-finals, they met the 'weakest' Bolton.

The whole team was very happy to hear the news, the opponent is Bolton, then they have a chance to win the opponent and go to the Cardiff Millennium Stadium to participate in the final of the League Cup, which was absolutely unthinkable before, especially those players who have been playing for Wigan Athletic, who have only played in the second division of the English before, but now have the opportunity to enter the final of the Century Stadium and compete with the English giants for the title.

"It's like a dream......," Roberts Sr. said.

Ridell was also in a bit of a trance, and whenever he thought about the team's results, he was happy.

He dedicated his football career to Wigan Athletic, as a player with considerable strength, he did not choose to leave the team, but stayed in the team to work hard for the promotion of the team, and now the team is doing well, which is not only an honor, but also equivalent to the completion of his life dream.

This means a lot to Riddle.

He's the happiest guy in the team, he's working hard in training and urging the others to cheer on, "We're going to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff," he said.

As for Bolton, who stopped on the road, it was automatically ignored by many people.

They have already beaten Fulham, Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa, so why can't they beat the 'weaker' Bolton?

Jewell let out a long breath as well.

He had been worried about running into Arsenal and in that case he would even consider abandoning the Carabao Cup...... Even though they have reached the semi-finals, Arsenal is too strong, so strong that Wigan Athletic can only look up, Wigan Athletic has a good record in League One, they are unbeaten in League One, but there are a lot of draws, and Arsenal is unbeaten in the Premier League, and will even win the Premier League title in advance.

The two undefeated records are not the same at all.

After a day of training, Jevier brought the players together and said, "Before the start of the season, we were a promoted team and few people looked forward to us, but now we are playing perfectly in the half-time, yes, perfect, I want to use that word to describe our results. ”

Everyone laughed.

They are also very satisfied with the team's results, a promoted horse, fourth in the league at the halfway point, the League Cup semi-finals, what is not satisfied?

"But ......"

Jewell's voice changed, "We can't be careless, in the league we have to fight for every win, I hope we can play in the Premier League next season, when everyone will be the promotion of the team, every Wigan fan will remember your name......"

'Also, in the Carabao Cup, we've reached the last four and I don't think anyone is going to back down at this point, so we're going to try to get to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!'

"The opponent is Bolton ......"

"But don't look at those media comments, we can't celebrate until we win the opponent!"

Jeville let the team disband after saying that, but everyone remembered the words.

They were surprised.

From the start of the season until now, Jevier has never said anything about the team's goals, and now that he really says it, despite the mental preparation, they are feeling some pressure.

Two goals: to reach the final of the League Cup, and the league to fight for promotion places.

The former will be close to winning against Bolton Wanderers, as they will play Bolton in a week's time.

According to the rules of the League Cup, the semi-finals are the most special matchups, because this game is played home and away, using a home-and-away scoring system, and the final score needs to be calculated by adding the two games together. In other words, they need to play two games and win against their opponents.

The latter is about maintaining the league standings.

According to the promotion system of League One, the league champion and runner-up will be automatically promoted to the Premier League next season, and the third to fifth places will play play-offs to determine the last Premier League place.

If you want to guarantee promotion to the Premier League, it is naturally best to finish in the top two of the league.

The pressure may also be good, and the next day of training, everyone became very serious, even Brekin, who has always liked to sneak and play tricks, completed every training task as required.

Jewell was quite happy with this.

In fact, he also has his own considerations, he has already set the team's goal, but he has never said it, because he is afraid that the players will be under pressure, and in the relaxed mentality without a goal, he may be in better shape to play the game, but now the team's results are very good, and he is worried that the players will relax because of this.

Saying the goal is also the motivation for everyone to struggle.

PS: I always see people leaving messages in the book review area about the problems of League One and the Championship, Xiao X explains here that the Championship was established in the 04/05 season to replace the League One, and in the 03/04 season, there is no Championship.
