Chapter 12: Obtaining a Death in the Narrow

After training in the first team for a week, Wang Tiezhu has fully adapted to the rhythm of the first team's training life, and he doesn't care much about the fans and reporters who appear from time to time on the court.

When Wang Tiezhu first appeared in the first team training ground, he became very popular. Many people were curious about who this young boy was and where did he come from?

Even the local Leeds reporters didn't know, but in the end, there was a real veteran iron who gave the answer: the guy was named Zach Thompson, who was transferred from the youth team. He played as a forward and could also play as a forward.

Next, Wang Tiezhu appeared frequently in the journalists' writings, but his image was not very glorious. Many people were asking questions, what did Simon Grayson think? The team's problem was obviously that the defense was not good enough, but why did he transfer an offensive player from the youth team to the first team? There are four forwards in the first team, and two forwards who can play forward. Leeds United's 433 lineup has shown good attack power. If the team's midfield is not very strong, they would never have just scored 5 league goals. Is it necessary to strengthen the team's offense at this time? On the contrary, the team's defense is very problematic, and they were scored 7 goals in five games.

Amidst doubts, Leeds United welcomed their sixth round of England Champions League opponent Milvon at their home court, Elland Road Stadium.

After the training ended on the afternoon of September 9, head coach Simon Grayson did not announce tomorrow's game list. He likes to observe the players' status on the morning of the game day. One night is very long and can speak out many things that affect the players' status, especially those who have families or girlfriends.

When Simon Grayson announced his disbandment, Wang Tiezhu would pack up his things and go home to enjoy the dinner that Melissa prepared for him in advance. Today Melissa was going to the hospital for night shift, but the two of them had no chance to meet. However, Melissa rushed over from home in the morning, not only prepared breakfast for Wang Tiezhu, but also prepared dinner for him.

At this time, Simon Grayson suddenly shouted: "Shake, wait for you to come to my office later!"

The locker room suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the head coach and Wang Tiezhu again. Many people began to mutter in their hearts: This time... Shaq won't have a chance to appear, right?

Everyone thought about it and it was really possible. Since Wang Tiezhu came to the first team, he has definitely worked diligently in daily training, and he performed even more vigorously in formal team training matches. Through large-scale fast running and arrogant fighting methods, this kid has a huge role in protecting the back line. No one in Leeds United can be better than him in this regard. Perhaps Wang Tiezhu is still not in the eyes of the super team now, but these teams in the English Champions League play a bit of barbaric traditional English football, but players like Wang Tiezhu are more popular.

Wang Tiezhu was also stunned for a moment. He also thought that he might have a chance to play, but...will this be too fast?

"Okay, boss!"

Simon Grayson turned and left after receiving Wang Tiezhu's affirmative answer. Then Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker came over with a giggle.

"Shake, you guy is lucky! Haha, I think you will have a chance to go on stage with us this time!"

"Shake, go to the boss's place quickly, I'm still waiting to take you home!"

Jonny Hausen patted Wang Tiezhu on the shoulder intimately. His home was farther than where Wang Tiezhu lives now, and it just didn't happen to be a long way away. Recently, he has always carried Wang Tiezhu to Thorpe Arch Training Base. Wang Tiezhu himself has not bought a car. In the past, he lived in the dormitory of the youth team most of the time. At that time, Zach Thompson regarded his home as a sad place and did not want to come back here at all. After Wang Tiezhu returned to this house, he wanted to buy a car, but he had never passed the driver's license in China and could not drive. Zach Thompson left him a driver's license, but Wang Tiezhu couldn't use it for the time being.

It only took a week. Wang Tiezhu and captain Jonny Hausen have become good friends, and their relationship with Ben Parker has also heated up sharply. The three people from the Leeds youth training camp have become the direct members of Leeds United.

Wang Tiezhu laughed and said, "Okay, wait for me. If you have the chance to appear, I will treat you two to dinner!"

“OK!”

"That's all!"

Wang Tiezhu waved his hands and walked out of the locker room, and said goodbye to other teammates along the way. Everyone smiled at him, but Wang Tiezhu knew very well that if he really played the game, he would have to squeeze one out. No one on the football field dared to send one out more people on the court. Whoever squeezed him down at that time might be held grudge. At least Wang Tiezhu felt that if he was squeezed down, he would definitely be unhappy.

When Wang Tiezhu came to Simon Grayson's office, Leeds's head coach had already been waiting there, and Green Snouting was also there.

"Haha, Shaq, come and sit here, I have something to say to you!"

Seeing Wang Tiezhu coming, Simon Grayson smiled on his face. Since Wang Tiezhu arrived in the first team, Leeds coaches have more smiles. As they know more about Wang Tiezhu, the happier the coaches are. They all think that Wang Tiezhu is simply a gift given to Leeds by God, and this God should be Everton. A boy who had no future in playing forward suddenly exploded after changing his career and playing a midfielder. If Everton hadn't taken a look, Moyes' Scotch habit must have cultivated him and then sold him for a lot of money, but then there would be nothing Leeds would have happened.

Green Snouting smiled and turned around and helped Wang Tiezhu push away the chair: "Come on, Shaq, sit down."

"Thanks!"

After Wang Tiezhu sat down, Simon Grayson smiled and said, "Shake, I'm here to tell you that we will make the game against Milvoy tomorrow. I plan to arrange you to join the bench lineup. How about it, are you ready?"

It's true!

That's true!

If you are on the bench, it means you have a chance to play!

Wang Tiezhu was a little excited. Many years ago, he had already been hoping that he would be able to enter the professional football field one day. Unfortunately, in China, players who had no money like him, were unlikely to have a chance. It was just a coincidence that he was selected for the national youth team. Unexpectedly, this wish would have a chance to be realized in England, so Wang Tiezhu's luck is quite good.

“Hu———————————”

Wang Tiezhu took two deep breaths in a row to calm his excitement. Simon Grayson and Green Snouting did not laugh at him, but just looked at him quietly. They had seen many young players so nervous before such opportunities. They had all kinds of performances, and even jumped up excitedly on the spot. Wang Tiezhu's performance was already very calm.

"Boss, thank you for giving me such an opportunity. I'm ready!"

Simon Grayson looked at Wang Tiezhu seriously. After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, okay, Shaq, you really didn't disappoint me! How about it? Green? I've said it long ago. This kid has a tough nerve will like steel, just like those German guys! I'm not wrong, right?"

Green Snouting looked at the proud Simon Grayson and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, Simon, you are always right, this time it's the same! Shaq, you are really, why can't you be nervous? Even if you pretend to be a good person! Now, I owe Simon another big meal!"

Wang Tiezhu grabbed his short hair awkwardly. This matter really has nothing to do with him. Simon Grayson and Green Snouting laughed again.

After laughing, Simon Grayson said: "Shake, we will play at home tomorrow with Mirvo. Considering that the opponent's strength is not very strong, we will have a great opportunity to gain an advantage in the game. After we have confirmed the victory in the second half, I will send you to complete your debut. You must be prepared to warm up!"

"Boss, I understand!"

Simon Grayson nodded: "Well, before that, I have to tell you what happened after you played. Our team's lineup is 433. Once you make a game, we will adjust it to 41233. At that time, you will still play the midfielder position you are used to. Just play as you usually train. You will have Jonny and Michael in front of you to support you. You don't need to worry about the offense. It's best to be able to keep up and cooperate with them. If it really doesn't work, just leave it to both of them. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Wang Tiezhu nodded hard. This kind of work is exactly what he is best at. Besides, at this time, he saw the opportunity at hand. If he still didn't understand what to do, he would be a fool.

Simon Grayson's plan was quite good. He wanted to give Wang Tiezhu a chance to make his debut at Elland Road Stadium, but he didn't expect that the plan would never change quickly. In the game the next afternoon, the "Youth Guards" Leeds United actually encountered difficulties at its home court. Just 11 minutes into the game, Milvot suddenly launched a surprise attack from the middle after attracting their attention on the wing, and their shooter J. Simpson scored a low shot to break through the Leeds United goal.

This conceding once again exposed Leeds United's lack of strength and thickness in the middle defense. Simon Grayson sat in the position and locked his eyebrows: Maybe... maybe we really have reached a life-and-death juncture where we have to make changes!

After Leeds United, who was playing at home, was hit by a blow and immediately launched a crazy counterattack with the cheers of home fans. However, Mirvo cleverly shrank and defended to the death. At the same time, he occasionally sneaked up. After ten minutes of playing, Leeds United failed to pose any threat to his opponent, but his goal was almost broken by his opponent again. If it weren't for J Simpson's shot straight, if it weren't for goalkeeper Andy Ronegan's attention was very focused, Leeds United might have been led by his opponent two goals at home.

Amid the gratitude of the Leeds fans at Elland Road Stadium, the commentator complained: "What is Simon doing? Why has the team still not improved after two weeks of rest? Our defense still has obvious loopholes. If we continue to play like this, not only will we fail at home in this game, but the subsequent schedule is worth our worries."

A problem that a commentator can see, how could Simon Grayson, the head coach, not see it? At this time, he finally turned his head firmly and said to Green Snouting beside him: "Green, go and let Shaq warm up. His debut... must be ahead of schedule."
Chapter completed!
