Zhang Tiehan stepped onto the JJB sports field.

Looking from the center to the surroundings, the entire stadium is a square with a steel cantilever roof. The auditorium can accommodate 25,000 fans. It is also a very good stadium. But compared to Old Trafford stadium, there is a lot of difference.

Zhang Tiehan found that he was not nervous at all. After experiencing the atmosphere of Old Trafford Stadium, the atmosphere here was really a bit small.

He was very calm.

Walking towards his position calmly and communicating with his teammates calmly, everything is like playing an ordinary training match, but this is not a training match, he knows that he needs to perform hard.

Must work hard to perform!

The conflict with C-Ronaldo made him more clear about the importance of strength. If he was an international big star, he would not be himself who needed to be tolerant, and he was very unwilling to accept it.

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

The game started again, and Zhang Tiehan continued to run according to the team's formation, trying hard to adapt and integrate into the game.

There were 7,000 fans at the scene, not many, but one-quarter of the stadium was still filled. Manchester United fans who came with the team were arranged in the North Stand. The fans of both sides had no grudges. Some popular fans were just shouting for the names of their favorite stars.

Few fans know Zhang Tiehan who just appeared.

Many of Manchester United fans have seen Zhang Tiehan. Only a few of them can call Zhang Tiehan's name. They only know that it is a twilight surname.

Not to mention Viagra fans!

Many Wigan Athletics fans are also supporters of Manchester United. They like Manchester United. After all, Manchester United is the best team in Greater Manchester County. What they strangely is that they have never seen this young player who has just appeared, a player with an oriental face, seem to have emerged out of thin air.

"I haven't heard of Manchester United's transfer news recently?"

"I don't know it, but it should be pretty good to join Manchester United."

"Maybe it's from the Manchester United Youth Team. The Manchester United Youth Team has a lot of geniuses. They don't need any news to join Manchester United."

Some people have guessed it, but most Wigan Athletic fans don't care about Manchester United. They know Manchester United and Manchester United's stars, but they still support Wigan Athletics.

In the Wigan Athletics coaching seat, someone was also paying attention to Zhang Tiehan who had just appeared, that is the team's head coach Javier.

Javier has coached Bradford and Sheep Wednesday, and Athletic Wigan was the third team he coached. In the 1980s, when Javier was a player, he played for Athletic Wigan. He had a lot of feelings for it and did a good job.

In just two seasons, Javier led Wigan Athletics to the First Division.

Looking at the figure who just appeared, Javier thought for a while before he suddenly realized, "He is a player of Manchester United youth team, a good midfielder."

He recognized Zhang Tiehan.

As the head coach of the former Class B and current Class A team, Jewell did not care much about Super League teams, but was very interested in their second tier, because the players of Super League teams are not affordable to his team, and the second tier of the giants are often some outstanding young people.

Last year, he wanted to loan Eagles from Manchester United youth team, but unfortunately Eagles himself did not want to play football in the second division.

The same is true this year.

If you want to make a difference in the first league, it is necessary to increase the team's strength.

Jewell has been trying to introduce several capable young players to increase the team's bench depth or develop his own stars. He has always wanted to do this because the team's funds do not allow him to buy excellent players, and he can only buy a few young players, or sign those free transfer players.

So he is used to observing young players who are not famous.

While Jewell was thinking, the game on the court was also going on. This was already the second half. With Van Nistroy's powerful shot in the penalty area, Manchester United temporarily led with one goal.

For England's overlord Manchester United, winning only one goal against a team like Wigan Athletic is obviously not in line with Manchester United's status.

Every Manchester United player is unwilling to give up.

Similarly, the Wigan Athletics players are not willing to give up.

Every player is working hard, and the game on the court is much more popular. As Wigan Athletics' offense is cut off, the football is passed forward by central defender Sylvester and handed it to Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan passes it to Roy Keane again. He wants to insert it, but when he sees Roy Keane dribbling the ball slowly forward, he stops and retreats a little.

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

Zhang Tiehan and Keane form a double midfielder, Manchester United's formation is 4231. In addition to Van Nicht being in front, there are three forwards on the side of the midfield. If Keane inserts, he must pay attention to the position and move backward appropriately.

This has been the case several times in a row.

Zhang Tiehan has always wanted to insert it, but when he saw Keane step forward, he had to retreat. This is the formation requirement. Otherwise, if he inserts himself, he can only repeat the position of his teammates, affecting Manchester United's offensive formation.

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

The position is the same as the captain Roy Keane, and he is a midfielder. Due to his personal strength, whenever he appears, his partner will come forward to attack more to make up for his own lack of offensive ability.

All he has to do is try to defend.

You must maintain your position and be at the back of the opponent's possible counterattack position at any time. The running range in defense should be near the front end of the penalty area. Use constant running and constant interference to deal with the opponent's attack and cause constant trouble to the opponent.

This is his job.

It's very simple to say, but not so easy to do. Zhang Tiehan has been working hard 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 very good.

However, Manchester United's qualified substitutes can be better than the main players of ordinary Super League players. It is very large to upgrade from a youth team player to this level, and it is naturally very difficult to achieve it. Zhang Tiehan feels that it will take a long time to adapt to this position.

He was still a little unwilling to accept it.

Because he feels that he has offensive ability and only defends, the skill of "see through" can only be used in one-on-one defense. If the opponent passes the ball early, he has no way of doing anything, so it is difficult for him to perform.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

At first, some people were curious about this new Oriental player, but few people have paid attention to him until now, because this new player is not at all outstanding, just running and running, and they don’t know what they are doing. When they get the ball occasionally, they will pass it directly to their teammates.

But in fact, what they didn't notice was that Manchester United captain Roy Keane was the same.

The position of the back midfielder is not conspicuous. Unless you have the ability to become the leader of the team, become a world-class star, be able to perform well in offense, become the core of the team, and control the offensive rhythm of the team, the back midfielder is actually the blue-collar worker on the court.

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

Few blue-collar workers can become stars. Fans care more about the players who score goals, and more about the wing forwards who are extremely fast and have excellent skills. Unless they are very outstanding guys, others are just foils.

The difference from the fans is the players on the field at Wigan Athletics.

In their opinion, the newly-played Oriental man was very difficult to deal with. His constant running forced them to pass the ball back and forth, but passing the ball was also dangerous and could be blocked. They sent the football to their opponents more than once because of this.

When Zhang Tiehan went to grab the ball, some players wanted to pass him with their skills.

The result is self-evident.

It is really difficult to get over Zhang Tiehan one-on-one. Even if you don’t have to ‘see through’, Zhang Tiehan will let him taste the feeling of falling to the ground. It doesn’t matter if his position is a small rule. It is more important than anything else to stop the opponent from breaking through and attacking.

"Rude, difficult!" This is what Wigan Athletics players commented.

Zhang Tiehan was not willing to do so. He wanted to attack. He always felt that he had a goal score, not just defending here. So he tried to step forward, but when he saw his teammates step forward, he could only retreat.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Old Man Ferguson because of this.

Finally, in the 21st minute of the second half, Zhang Tiehan had a chance. Manchester United's offensive speed was too fast. Roy Keane did not step forward, but instead took a few steps back to stabilize Manchester United's formation.

Zhang Tiehan and Keen looked at each other and ran to the frontcourt.

He paid attention to the position of the football and walked to the opponent's penalty area to look for opportunities. Football is on the wing road, and the wing forward Giggs's skills are so outstanding. Although he is nearly thirty years old and is still in a downturn, Giggs' technical strength is still very gorgeous. Most importantly, his speed is very fast and the players of Wigan Athletics cannot defend him at all.

After reaching the bottom line, Giggs was intercepted. He spiked the ball back and brought the ball back. After finding the gap, he hanged the ball into the penalty area with one kick.

The attack speed this time was too fast, and Wigan Athletic's defense line was not yet stable, and there were not many people in the penalty area.

The first time Giggs kicked, Zhang Tiehan ran to the right. His speed was not fast, but he ran to the position as soon as the football fell.

Football falls from the air!

Zhang Tiehan awkwardly squeezed the opponent's players and jumped up and shook his head!

The football was hit and turned, but unfortunately it flew out of the bottom line. However, the Wigan Athletics fans in the audience were still sweating hard. The ball was too dangerous.

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

This was the only good opportunity I found in twenty minutes, but unfortunately I didn't score. My heading skills were really bad.

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

"That's good luck." Zhang Tiehan replied.

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

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

"Come on!" Keane gave a thumbs up.
Chapter completed!
