"Crazy Wigan Athletic!"

After the game, the Wigan newspaper used such a headline to describe the game, Wigan Athletic scored six goals in the second half, and the game was quite crazy, and in the second half, Jewell replaced three main players, and the team still pressed Bradford to play again, and the game was completely under Wigan Athletic's control.

The win was inspiring and deepened the recognition of the new tactics.

In the tactical training, he required each player to complete a specific training task, and the team was conducting tactical training for several days in a row, and other training was put aside.

It made the players feel relaxed.

Tactical training is mainly brain-draining, each player has to remember what he has to do, and the training ground is not a real confrontation, but just a tactical simulation, so that everyone knows what to do in what situation.

Other training sessions have been slowed down a bit.

Jewell is still worried about the physical problems of the players, after all, the schedule of the English League One is too terrifying, and now it is a dense schedule, and the players' physical problems are likely to have some problems.

The team has also begun to impose a mandatory diet for the players.

Jewell demanded that everyone must have two meals a day in the club restaurant, and after the disbandment in the evening, they were not allowed to eat irritating food, and drinking, clubbing, and visiting nightclubs were expressly prohibited, which made Brepin and others complain.

Riddell breathed a sigh of relief.

After his recent training, he was too idle, and he practiced with Zhang Tiehan for a few days, and the life of not going to nightclubs was very painful for him.

It's just that the thoughts of the two are not in Jewell's consideration.

Jewell is only concerned about the physical condition of the players, and if he does not restrict his diet and continue to train at the same intensity, it is difficult for him to imagine how many players will remain in the team's main squad after Christmas.

……

The league has entered a tense and intensive stage, and Zhang Tiehan seems to have entered his own crazy stage.

In the game against Sunderland, Zhang Tiehan played an ultimate killer in the first half, scoring three goals in a row to defeat Sunderland's fighting spirit.

At half-time, forty-five minutes, he scored a hat-trick!

The first ball was a corner kick from Riddle, and under the defense of the opposing player, he squeezed and jumped up to head the ball to score the ball.

The second ball was a kick on the counter-attack.

The third ball came from his left foot, and the opposing goalkeeper picked up the ball and took it off, but Zhang Tiehan ran to the right position and stabbed the ball with his left foot to score.

Three goals, a long shot, a header, a stop-up shot, three different ways!

In just one and a half courts, Zhang Tiehan penetrated the Sunderland gate three times, and although there was also the credit of the opponent, Zhang Tiehan's personal ability was fully displayed, and the shooting skills at his feet amazed the opposing manager and players.

"Wigan Athletic's efficient killer - Zhang!"

After the game, the media commented on Zhang Tiehan, "... Zhang is so good, he is equipped with the most advanced weapons all over his body, and when he is on the football field, the Sunderland players simply cannot defend effectively, it is simply not an equal contest. ”

"Zhang has scored six goals in three games and he seems to be responding to those who have questioned him with his performance."

"We must admit that he succeeded! He is brilliant and impeccable! ”

As the report said, Zhang Tiehan scored six goals in three rounds, and those media who questioned him could only deal with it in silence.

It's just that to the disappointment of some media, Zhang Tiehan, who usually makes some news after a good performance, didn't say anything after the game.

He gave an interview, just a few formal words about the game, and even praised his opponent Sunderland...... Although everyone knows the Tao, it is completely against the will.

It's not at all like his style.

……

When the team returned to Wigan, Zhang Tiehan said hello to his teammates and went straight back to the apartment.

He was a little sore, numb and weak all over.

At halfway through the game, he was already tired, and he thought it was a normal reaction at the time, but in the second half he couldn't run anymore, let alone play anything.

The sky outside had just darkened, Zhang Tiehan lay down and fell asleep, and when he woke up again, the sky was already a little bright.

When he opened his eyes and looked out the window, he sat up coldly.

"It's half past seven......"

Glancing at the time, Zhang Tiehan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Thinking back to yesterday's game, and the feeling of being sore now, Zhang Tiehan of course knows what this is for, since coming to Wigan Athletic, he has hardly missed any games, and he is training weekdays, in September and October, but now the weather is getting colder, and his body can't support it at all.

He needed a break.

"It looks like I won't be able to participate in the next game." Zhang Tiehan said secretly.

Wigan Athletic's next game against Reading is the second meeting between the two teams, and the important thing is that the next game is just three days away, and with his physical condition, he will have to rest for a week to recover.

After getting up from bed and having breakfast, Zhang Tiehan went to the club, and then talked to Jewell about his physical condition.

"Mr. Jewell, I think I need to go to the team doctor for a check-up."

Jewell was very helpless when he heard it, he had been thinking about the team's tactics, as well as the game and other issues, but he also noticed that many people in the team had physical problems, and he took corresponding precautions.

But the schedule is too dense......

The problem will appear sooner or later, but Jewell didn't expect that the first problem would be Zhang Tiehan, but if you think about it carefully, Zhang Tiehan started every game, and he had to play the whole game for most of the game.

"Okay, Zhang, you don't have to participate in the next game, let's do more recovery training next." Jewell asked.

Zhang Tiehan nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, the result given by the team doctor was that he was too tired, and he had to rest for at least a week to recover, and even gave advice not to do strenuous exercise recently.

Zhang Tiehan was a little unwilling.

He didn't understand how something could be wrong with his body......

In his memory, his body is very strong, especially in terms of endurance and physical fitness, and more importantly, his body has the inheritance of ancient power, but this inheritance seems to have no auxiliary effect at all, and he was directly defeated by continuous games.

"It shows that I'm still human." Zhang Tiehan comforted himself.

……

Without Zhang Tiehan, Wigan Athletic's offensive ability is completely inferior to a notch, the team continued to use the previous tactics and the Reading team, fortunately it was a home game, and the Reading team was not a strong team, and finally with the goal of substitute midfielder Charlette, the team still won against the Reading team.

But this is not the time to relax.

Wigan Athletic will have another big game to play, that is, the quarter-finals of the League Cup, and the whole team will travel to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa away.

Before the game, Jewell asked everyone to relax and play the game.

Reaching the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup is quite good, but Jewell is more worried about the physical condition of the players, and now it is December, the most injury-prone and fitness problem month of the season, and he has to think about this, after all, the league is the most important thing for the team.

As long as you can survive Christmas safely, then the games of the teams on the off-duty schedule will be much easier, and it is very likely that they will fight for a promotion place in the league.

In any case, promotion to the Premier League is the most important thing.

What he didn't expect was that the team played quite smoothly on the road, scoring two goals in the first half alone, while opponents Aston Villa lacked some luck, with two consecutive shots hitting the post, and a couple of dangerous attacks, all held by Wigan Athletic.

"It looks like Lady Luck is on our side." At half-time, assistant coach Stan Brown sighed.

Jewell just smiled, but he was excited.

No one wants to lose!

It's the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, and if they can win this game and they can reach the semi-finals, it will be a lot of good for the team and they can even go for the title.

"In the second half, we have to keep trying!"

Back in the dressing room, Jewell immediately changed his attitude, before the game he felt that the victory did not matter, and even thought of giving up the Carabao Cup, but now that half-time has passed, the team has a two-goal lead, as long as they play well in the second half, they can win.

Victory is just around the corner, how can you not fight for it!

'They are very penetrating and I ask you to be mindful of your formation when you defend, and at the same time drop back a little bit and try to be as close to goal as possible so that it will be difficult for them to make dangerous passes.

"Also." Jewell looked at Zhang Tiehan, "Zhang, you play in the second half, but remember, your task is not to score, but to defend!" ”

Zhang Tiehan did not start the game, he has been sitting on the bench.

His body has not fully recovered, considering his importance to the team, Jewell will not kill the chickens and eggs, let Zhang Tiehan start the team is stronger, but it delays his physical recovery, and even injuries, which is absolutely fatal to the team.

But if you only play half the game, you should still be fine.

Zhang Tiehan also felt that there was no problem, he had been resting for more than a week, and his body had a lot of energy, although it may be a little difficult to play the whole game, but he was able to persevere in the half game.

In the second half, Wigan Athletic put on a stubborn posture.

They have rarely done this lately, even against Chelsea, against strong teams such as Everton, they didn't go completely to defend when they were ahead, but now they have chosen to defend to the end.

However, in the eyes of most people, with two goals in hand, there is nothing wrong with choosing to defend, and defending the team is a victory.

Wigan Athletic put on such a gesture, and the second half of the game can be imagined.

Even if Aston Villa are a Premier League powerhouse, even if they have many well-known players, they still have a hard time breaking through Wigan Athletic's door, and it was not until the 85th minute that Aston Villa, who attacked for a half, barely managed to recover a goal, which was also the last goal of the game.

Wigan Athletic came close to the Carabao Cup semi-finals with a hard-fought win away at Aston Villa.

It's mid-December since the Aston Villa game, and there is a 22-day league game against Crewe just before Christmas.

Recently they can breathe a sigh of relief.
