At the end of the holiday, all the players returned to Wigan and began their normal club life. Zhang Tiehan came back two days early, and he had been training for two days by himself.

The rest of the team didn't work so hard, they just came the morning of the gathering.

After gathering, everyone started training normally. The training requirements for this day were very strict. Jewell intended to see everyone's physical condition to judge whether anyone puts the holidays on women. This is just a private statement. Anyway, most of the team complained.

Zhang Tiehan didn't have any. He had no girlfriend at all. He helped his father during the holidays. He was also busy and he was not idle at all. It was impossible for his health to have problems.

Jewell praised the players whose physical fitness has not declined, and Brekin, Philan, Jove Holyfield and others were scolded by Jewell. Their physical fitness has obviously declined and their condition is not very good. They all look unsatisfied when standing on the court.

"You guys, your physical training will double from tomorrow!"

A few people complained endlessly.

The training intensity of the team is not very high, but it is also upstream in the League One level. After every day's training, most people have to drag their tired bodies away. The training is doubled, and they all have to go home and fall asleep at night.

All of this has nothing to do with Zhang Tiehan, he just follows his own training rules.

After the training of the day, he practiced alone on the stadium. Uncle Hawson, who is in charge of managing the stadium, is already very familiar with him, because every morning, Zhang Tiehan has to disturb Hawson's sleep, and at night he is the last player to go home. Fortunately, Hawson lives at the entrance of the stadium, otherwise he would definitely be very angry.

In the morning, Zhang Tiehan shouted at the window of the small building in Hosen, "Uncle Hosen, it's already half past six, open the stadium!"

After a while, Huosen dragged his body out of the door and said helplessly, "Zhang, you always come so early. I used to get up at seven o'clock..."

"Hehe." Zhang Tiehan smiled embarrassedly.

Hosen thought about it, took out a handful from the keychain and handed it to Zhang Tiehan, "This is the spare key for the stadium. Starting from tonight, as long as you come to train, you can open the door and lock the door yourself."

Zhang Tiehan was stunned, solemnly took the key and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huosen."

"Thank you," Huosen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Tiehan. "If you do this every day, I will be too leisurely. I can even sleep until twelve o'clock in the evening, and I can do my job from the afternoon."

Hurson is right. He is responsible for managing the stadium and cleaning some stadiums. He can wait until the training is over before starting work.

However, Zhang Tiehan is still very grateful, after all, this saves a lot of trouble for himself.

"Don't tell others that this does not comply with the club's regulations." Hosen finally reminded.

With the flexibility of the stadium management, Zhang Tiehan's training is even more diligent. He gets up early every morning to train and stays for further practice at night. As long as it is not the normal training time, it is easy to hear the sound of "touching" and "touching". People who don't know will be very surprised. However, the club staff knew that it was Zhang Tiehan training and shooting.

Such training takes at least three hours a day.

Cahill Beronte sets a training plan for Zhang Tiehan for two hours a day, but Zhang Tiehan feels that training time is more and his ability increases faster, so he keeps training uninterrupted. In fact, he doesn't know what to do except training. In the club, life is only training and competition.

It’s nothing to do this for one day, and it’s amazing to keep doing this.

At first, there were teammates who were excited to practice with Zhang Tiehan, but after a few days, no one did this because they couldn't hold on at all. They were tiring for ordinary training, and it was really boring to practice again. Moreover, if they didn't train with the team, they couldn't improve much.

They don't need to train and shoot like Zhang Tiehan, and they can't complete such training volume at all.

This kind of training life is very fulfilling. Zhang Tiehan feels that his footwork is improving day by day, especially his shooting skills. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rapid increase. He can easily knock the ball to a fixed range while dribbling the ball twenty meters away. This is already very amazing.

Soon everyone on the team got used to it.

They attribute Zhang Tiehan to the ‘different kinds’, and even Brekin often uses one sentence to describe Zhang Tiehan, “That’s a madman! You can’t compare with a madman!”

Zhang Tiehan just smiled indifferently when he heard this.

In training, Wigan Athletics ushered in a new opponent, Watford. This team belongs to the mid-range team in the League One. It is not strong or weak, and Wigan Athletics has a high winning rate at home.

Zhang Tiehan is eager to participate in the competition.

He still remembers Alikshia's arrogant face. The woman looked down on him and thought he was just a player with no future. He wanted to prove himself on the court.

Unfortunately, he got a red card in the last round and was suspended in this game.

Fortunately, the FA did not add additional punishment to him. He was only suspended for one game, but it was depressing enough to not participate in a game.

"Zhang, no one can participate in all competitions." Lidell comforted Zhang Tiehan so much.

Lidell was right, and Zhang Tiehan was also very clear, but in fact, what he was worried about was his strength. He wanted to go to the court to prove it. This was to get the recognition of the fans, but wasn't it proved it to himself? He needed to prove it and give himself more confidence, especially since he was just suspended from the red card. He wanted to find a balance between defense and fouls, and also wanted to try his own shot.

But this is impossible.

On the day of the game, Zhang Tiehan did not go to JJB Stadium, but just trained in the training ground. He had no choice but to win or lose if he could not play. Since he had no ability to decide, he would simply stop watching it, just hope that the team could win.

In the end, the team defeated Walford 1-0 at home with a goal from full-back Matt Jackson.

With the victory of this game, Wigan Athletics returned to fourth place in the League One standings. This result was quite good. More media focused on Wigan Athletics. They were surprised by Wigan Athletics' performance. Is a newly promoted team really going to compete for the upgraded place in the League One?

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked this question.

Jewell said calmly, "I am happy to win the game. It is our honor to be ranked fourth in the standings. It is too early for us to fight for the promotion. Now the league is just beginning, and all we need to do is to strive for every victory."

In this game, the only goal came from full-back Matt Jackson, but the best performance in the game was undoubtedly the midfield core Ridell.

More journalists noticed Ridell.

Before, Ridell was just a UEFA League player, and his performance was very good, but in the UEFA League, he was still very outstanding. He was the core of this Wigan Athletics team. He kept passing the ball in the game, driving the entire Wigan Athletics offense.

He made a great contribution in the game.

"He is excellent and has always been the core player of the team. In my team, Ridell is irreplaceable. His performance is related to the performance of the entire team." Jewell had no stingy words of praise for Ridell.

Ridell's performance also deserves these praises.

After the game, the whole team returned to the training ground, where they could disband. As soon as they got off the car, Brekin saw Zhang Tiehan, he said, "Andy has become a big star, Zhang, you don't know, how many reporters interviewed Ridell just now, and I also saw a reporter from Manchester Sports. I really wanted him to interview me, but he only asked Andy..."

There was a little sadness in his words.

Zhang Tiehan could hear that because he was also very sad, Ridell was already a little famous. After one game after another, his fame became more and more popular. Now the big media have begun to interview him, and he is still working hard to train and strive for good performance, but he is just working hard. Even in the game, his performance is difficult to catch up with Ridell.

The more important reason is that he is a defensive player... Just like Brekin, no matter how good his performance is, it is difficult to attract attention. Unless one day the England national team takes a fancy to him, he will be able to become famous directly, otherwise he can only take his time.

"If you have time to envy Andy, why not train with me." Zhang Tiehan smiled and hooked Brekin's shoulder.

"Ahem..." Brekin was startled, his face was a little exaggerated, "I would rather not be famous than train like this, then I will definitely lose my life."
