Chapter 56 We are not weak!

Although the opponent is only Derby County, the last place in the league, the victory in this game is crucial to Wigan Athletics. They had three consecutive draws and the team's situation was very unfavorable.

The negative impact of the results is also related to the team's daily training atmosphere and performance in the game. If you can win a game, the situation will be reversed. There will be no more low atmosphere in the training, and everyone will become active again.

At the same time, Wigan fans are also full of confidence in the team.

After the game, many fans were interviewed by reporters and expressed their confidence in the team's future and confidence in the team's performance this season.

"We're a small team, but Javier never let us down!"

"I booked a season ticket and would go to every home court. I like home games. The atmosphere was exciting and the team would play very well every time."

"I also hope to see the team advance to the Premier League in my lifetime, and now the team has given me hope," said an old Wigan fan.

Fans’ support is beneficial to the club.

At the same time, the external media no longer had any worries about Wigan Athletics comments. A victory broke the embarrassment of three consecutive games, not only regaining confidence, but also allowed the outside media to see Wigan Athletics' strong strength.

Even if Derby County is a weak team, it is very unusual to be able to beat the opponent three goals away from home.

Several players who performed well in the game also received a lot of praise, such as Ellington, Macaroc, Ridell, and Zhang Tiehan.

There are many reports about Zhang Tiehan, but most media have adopted a wait-and-see attitude. They do not say bad things about Zhang Tiehan, but they do not praise him. They just said that he scored a goal in the game. This goal is the first goal, and that's all.

The media also cares about face.

They can be sure of things and things that attract fans' attention will be reported. But it is hard to imagine that Zhang Tiehan plays as a forward. Even if he scores a goal in this game, no media dares to assert that he can succeed in the forward position.

In a game, there are too few data and too few things to explain.

As Manchester Morning Post said, "This young man has potential, but whether he can adapt to a new position depends on his future performance. Let's wait and see."

Manchester Morning Post will wait and see, and other media will also wait and see.

At the same time, the normal training of Wigan Athletics is still underway. Although they have just experienced a league game, the team has no time to take a holiday recently. This is all because of the League Cup interspersion during the schedule. The game with Chelsea will be held in the middle of the week. Four days later, they will go to London to Stamford Bridge Stadium.

It was four days later, but just won a round of league games, and the players were in a very good mood.

The same goes for Zhang Tiehan.

In previous training, Zhang Tiehan felt that he could perform well in the center position, but that was a training after all, not a real game. He couldn't guarantee how he performed in regular games. He was even a little nervous when playing against Derby County. He would think about what the fans and the media would think, especially when he was not good at it.

This mentality made him nervous. Now that the game is over, he breathes a sigh of relief. When he thinks about it, he feels that the tension is not necessary at all.

Jewell thinks he is suitable for center and he adapts himself, so why are hesitating?

So during this day's training, Zhang Tiehan felt very relaxed. He felt that he had gradually adapted to the new position. However, during training, occasionally Jewell would let Zhang Tiehan return to his original position to participate in defense. After all, offense is important, defense is equally important.

No one dislikes such a player, and Jewell, who can play forward and defensive midfielder, can play like this, and this can ensure the diversity of the team's tactics.

For example, when the team leads and needs to defend the goal stably, Zhang Tiehan has the characteristics of surprising defensive ability. They don’t even have to substitute people, just let Zhang Tiehan retreat to the backcourt, and the defense becomes much more stable.

This is the advantage.

There are very few players with this advantage, and it is often difficult for all unimaginable players on the stadium to make a difference. After all, it is already difficult for a player to do well on one hand, and it is even more difficult to take into account both aspects.

Zhang Tiehan is one of them.

"I admire you more and more now." Assistant coach Stebron during training smiled at Jewell, "When Zhang came to the team, I thought you were crazy. He was a young player listed by Manchester United. Think about it, how many more can he have in a few years? Eighteen years old... This kind of young man Manchester United's strategy has always been on loan."

Jewell felt happy when he heard this. Everyone likes others to praise him. Even if it is a compliment, "I didn't expect him to be so outstanding. At that time, I just thought that he should strengthen the defense in the backcourt."

"Anyway, you're doing it right. By Christmas, Nelson shouldn't be pointing fingers at the transfer." Stebrunn said.

After hearing this, Javier nodded.

In terms of transfers, Javier has enough rights, but Nelson often expresses some opinions. After all, Javier likes any player, and Nelson is responsible for the transfer work.

Last summer, the transfer between Ellington and Macarocci was the starting point for Jewell's success in Wigan Athletics. Ellington and Macarocci, coupled with Dell, the original core of the team, swept the League Two.

Now there is another example of Zhang Tiehan's success this time. In terms of transfers, Jewell can do everything he can.

...

The normal training lasted for one day, and the next day, Javier began to conduct targeted tactical training for the game against Chelsea.

Compared with Wigan Athletics, Chelsea is like a mountain. It is too difficult to cross this mountain by normal means. If you want to cross it, or even if you want to have the capital to cross it, you must be prepared.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct targeted training a few days before the game.

Every player in the team was very serious, and no one was lazy in training. Everyone was working hard and fighting. This made the training atmosphere surprisingly good, but in the same way, the atmosphere in the team was no longer as relaxed as yesterday, but instead became a little solemn.

The same goes for Zhang Tiehan.

Thinking of going to London in two days to fight against the powerful Chelsea, he will feel excited and pressure. Yes, pressure, facing that kind of powerful opponent, he will face tens of thousands of fans on the other side. In the atmosphere of tsunami, fighting against a strong opponent will have to bear a lot of pressure.

This is just pre-match training, but seriousness is undoubtedly necessary.

Like Zhang Tiehan, other Wigan Athletics players also felt solemnity and pressure. They thought they wanted to play against Chelsea, but they felt that they were under great pressure.

Everyone is like this, and the overall atmosphere of the players can be imagined.

At the same time, the number of mistakes in training is increasing.

"Ian, you pass it accurately. I can't catch up with such a long pass!"

"Sorry, Andy, I was offside just now."

"Pay more attention to passing the ball and don't dribble too much, as it will increase the mistake!" Assistant coach Stbrunn on the sideline shouted at the stadium to remind everyone.

Javier looked at the training and felt a little heavy, but there was a smile on his face, "They all worked very hard, I'm very relieved." He said.

"Yes, Paul!" Stebron agreed.

"I'm going to play against Chelsea soon, Andel, are you nervous?" Javier asked Stebron.

"Nervous? You said me?" Stbrown shrugged and pointed at the stadium and joked, "Do you think I have time to be nervous?"

"Haha, I'm so sorry."

Javier smiled and apologized. Stebron did not have time to worry. He was busier than the players training on the field. He ran back and forth all morning, reminding everyone of the mistakes in training, and he needed to remind the players of targeted guidance, how to run, how to pass and catch the ball, when to shoot, etc.

This is the responsibility of an assistant coach.

The two partners have a tacit understanding. Jewell is responsible for planning the overall situation, but the details of the training are left to Steblon, so Steblon is very busy, and Jewell, as the head coach, is very leisurely.

When Jewell saw the tension in the training atmosphere in the team, he was a little happy. He would not be unhappy if he was not like this.

The players are nervous because they have to face Chelsea.

If they are not nervous at all, it means they don’t care about the game, and then Javier will be unhappy. Without a coach, he will like players who admit defeat when facing strong opponents. Everyone is nervous, which means everyone cares about the game.

Although Jewell had said before, the victory or defeat of the game was irrelevant, the game was a game of victory or defeat, and any player involved did not care about the victory or defeat.

If you participate in the competition, you want to win!

Whether it is Zhang Tiehan, other players, or even those old players who are about to go, they all want to beat Chelsea and create miracles. Only those who focus on the game will be nervous. Everyone is nervous means that everyone focuses on the game.

This is the best!

So what if you face the powerful Chelsea?

Javier wanted to win, but in order to make the team perform at a level, he told the players that the outcome was not important, but most of the teams were adults. They would not think that the outcome was not important just because of the coach. They had their own criteria for judging.

They want to win! They really want to win!

Facing an opponent that is stronger than yourself, what else is more exciting than defeating your opponent?

Chelsea, very strong.

But we are not weak either!
