Chapter Eleven This boy
Chapter 11 This kid...
On the best training ground at Thorpe Arch training base, the 24 players from the first team of Leeds United are training under the leadership of physical coaches Matt Pierce and Alex Davis. The styles of the English Champions League and the English Premier League are different. They focus more on defeating their opponents by physical strength and impact. After all, players with high tactical qualities have basically been selected by the super team. They can't do it without taking the physical route. The team can't play such cumbersome and complicated tactics at all.
Wang Tiezhu followed the team, but he was no less than the best physical Keo Andrew and Robert Snold Grass, who were in Leeds United, who were the best in physical fitness, and the three of them quickly ran in front of the others.
This is Wang Tiezhu's first training after coming to the first team. Simon Grayson and his assistant Green Snouting both attached great importance to it. They must understand the young man as soon as possible so that they can make the best use of him in the future.
"Hey, Simon, I think Shaq is in good physical condition!"
"Yeah! It looks really good. This little guy... should have some prospects, but it depends on his performance on the court."
Green Snouting and Simon Grayson both discovered that Wang Tiezhu, who was only 18 years old, was really strong in terms of physical fitness. Now they are basically no longer worried about Wang Tiezhu's physical condition. A player who can run like this will definitely not be too bad in other aspects of his physical fitness.
The two coaches naturally wouldn't know that if Wang Tiezhu had not used "black feet" to reduce the attributes of injury tendencies from 12 to 2, the original Zach Thompson was simply a "glass man". Although his physical condition is really excellent, with 15 explosive power, 15 flexibility, 15 balance ability, 17 rebounding power, 15 physique, 16 speed, 15 endurance and 17 strength, he is still a "glass man" who may be injured if he can't play a few games on the court.
However, now Wang Tiezhu is not troubled by the tendency to be injured, and his body can only be described as strong, wild beasts, and this body will also become the capital for Wang Tiezhu to become famous on the green field.
During this period, Wang Tiezhu also discovered a problem, that is, although he was more desperate in training and felt that he had improved a lot in terms of technology, his technical values in the "Black Feet" system were not very high, which also made him feel very conflicted. Could it be that he had no room for improvement after having this system?
If this is the case, how can we obtain skill points that can increase the attribute value?
After so long, Wang Tiezhu has not found a way to obtain skill points, but he believes that with Zach Thompson's perfect body, choosing the position of the lower back is still very promising.
After the physical training, Simon Grayson and Green Snouting began to practice tactics with the team. Wang Tiezhu just came up from the youth team, and after seeing his excellent physical performance, they also wanted to see how this little guy is in tactical literacy.
For a football player, you are not sure that you can play well if you have the physical and skilled body. Tactical literacy is also a very important factor, especially for a midfielder.
After dividing the team into two teams, Leeds United players began to practice, but this was not an in-team training game, it was just a simple tactical exercise. Head coach Simon Grayson would blew the whistle from time to time and then explain to the players, telling them how to pass the ball and how other players should run.
Wang Tiezhu's job is quite simple. He was arranged before Ben Parker, Andrew O'Brien, Darren O'Di, and Paul Connori, the main back line. His job is to block the attacks of the main midfielders led by Jonny Hausen.
After about twenty minutes of training, Simon Grayson and Green Snouting understood that this little guy nicknamed "Shake" did have a shark-like cruel aura on the court. Although he was not in good cooperation with the back line, he was extremely brave in one-on-one battles. Whether it was Jonny Hausen, who had good ball skills, Michael Brown, or the extremely fast left forward Aidan White, as long as he was entangled by Wang Tiezhu, there was no other way except passing the ball, because this kid had only one move, and he used his body to make a reasonable collision with you, and then followed up with a good speed. When your body was a little unbalanced, he would kick the ball out with one kick. Although Wang Tiezhu could not control the direction of the ball after the intercepted ball, he could hinder or even collapse the opponent's attack, which was already completed.
Wang Tiezhu's shortcomings were also exposed. When he helped organize his own offense, he often had poor grasp of the timing and route of passing. Although he was an offensive player, his skills were really too rough compared to those of the first team.
However, Simon Grayson was quite satisfied. What he needs now is such a midfielder who can grab, fight, and be tough enough. As for the lack of experience in the game and the rough skills, these problems can be trained slowly!
In order to test Wang Tiezhu, Simon Grayson specially asked Jonny Hausen and others to try to break through him in another way, and even asked other players to help play two and one, and then look at Wang Tiezhu's reaction. Wang Tiezhu really didn't disappoint them. According to his understanding of the midfielder, once he found that he could not block the opponent's attack alone, he would immediately retreat to the place closer to the back line and work with his teammates to intercept the opponent, instead of doing it alone. When Wang Tiezhu retreated, his speed was exerted, and he could almost retreat to his back line in a blink of an eye. Then his good heading ability was available, and he could also complete the task of replacing the center back and marking the opponent's forward well with the central defender.
When the morning training ended, Wang Tiezhu's performance had won the satisfaction of Simon Grayson and the attention of first-team players.
Jonny Hausen walked up with an excited smile and punched Wang Tiezhu with his fist: "Hey, Shaq, you are so cruel! I didn't expect that you kid would be so beautiful. Michael, Aidan, and I can't break through you! Work hard and you will succeed. Then we will fight those super teams together!"
Ben Parker also came over and hugged Wang Tiezhu's neck: "Hi, Shaq, I really didn't expect that our youth team would have such a great guy like you. I have never seen you before. When did you come to the team?"
Ben Parker is only twenty-three years old, but he has been with Leeds United for ten years. However, he spent most of these ten years in the youth team and was loaned out for two seasons. He only gained a foothold in the first team last season and was already a real main left-back.
Jonny Hausen also said curiously: "Yes, Shaq, I've been on the team for eight years. When did you join?"
Wang Tiezhu said embarrassedly: "That... Actually... Well, I actually transferred from the Everton Youth Training Camp in January this year."
"No way? Everton's youth training system is excellent. How come they didn't leave you?"
"Damn it! No? What's Everton's vision? They don't want any genius midfielder like you?"
Speaking of this question, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but grin: "Actually, I was still a striker three months ago, but I've changed to a new position."
ah!?
Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at Wang Tiezhu like a monster. A person who played for a striker was so powerful just three months after he became a midfielder. This... is so fucking against the will of heaven, right?
"Tell me, Shaq, tell us what's going on! There must be a story here!"
Ben Parker was no longer as calm as the game at this time. He was like a gossipy girl, waiting for Wang Tiezhu to tell them a story with a look of anxious expression.
Wang Tiezhu didn't hide it. Anyway, the youth team knew the causes and consequences of his transformation into playing as a midfielder. He immediately told him that he was injured unexpectedly and said that he didn't want to be kicked anymore, so he changed to play as a defensive player. Of course, he would not fall for Chris Sally's keen eyes to mobilize him to play as a defensive player. However, no one expected that he would do a good job in the midfielder position, and was lucky enough to be promoted to the first team.
Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker were fascinated by such a legendary story. After Wang Tiezhu finished talking about his story, he realized that there were several teammates standing behind him at some point, all of whom were full of incredible faces.
If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes or hearing it with your own ears, who would have believed that such a bizarre thing would have happened? A striker was injured and then turned to play as a midfielder. In three months, he actually played from the youth team to the first team. And looking at his previous performance, he had great potential. This kind of thing is too irritating!
When Wang Tiezhu told his new teammates, Simon Grayson took his coaching staff with a smile and left the training ground. Green Snouting couldn't hide his excitement and nagged in his ear: "Simon, this little guy is great! Chris, that guy is not wrong this time. This kid is really a midfielder genius! We have picked up the treasure this time! Hahaha!"
Simon Grayson laughed and said, "Green, Shaq still has a lot to learn, but I also admit that this kid is a material worth our full training. An eighteen-year-old midfielder can perform like this. As long as we can give him the chance to play, I can't imagine what he will become after two or three seasons!"
"Ha, so, Shaq has a chance in the next game between us and Mirvo in our home game?"
Simon Grayson lowered his head and thought while walking, hesitating for a while and said, "It's still not possible. Our team's tactics have been practicing for a long time. If you suddenly put Shaq in, there will be problems. Besides, we promised Chris and would use Shaq carefully, so we can't be too anxious! But..."
Simon Grayson smiled sly: "We can still put him on the bench list. If we have the advantage and ensure victory, let him come on the stage and feel the atmosphere of the game. This will not only train Shaq, but also not let Chris find fault."
Chapter completed!
