It is not easy to improve personal skills. In the field of professional football, personal skills are too wide and cover too much content. Most of these are developed by a player when he was young.

For example, the foot skills that quickly drive the ball and break through, the fast-speed wing forwards often have the ability to do this.

Others may not be slow, but they have to complete breakthroughs while quickly dribbling, which is not something that can be practiced overnight.

Zhang Tiehan did not think about improving his personal skills in an all-round way. He only wanted to improve on one hand, that is, when catching the ball, quickly stop the ball from a small range, change direction, etc., to leave space for himself in shooting space, and the ability to directly complete long shots with one kick.

The former is very good, and it is very complicated to say, but it is just a catch-stop-shooting. That's all, Zhang Tiehan can do it, but he is not very good at it. If the opponent can defend well, it will be difficult for him to get rid of the opponent and leave room for himself to kick and shoot.

As for the latter... that is not something that ordinary players can do. It is very simple to catch the ball and shoot directly. However, it is not easy to directly complete the long shot just by hitting the positive force, let alone shooting a threatening ball. Since it is a long shot, it is definitely not in the penalty area. Outside the penalty area, it is more than 20 meters away from the goal, and it is obviously too high to try to shoot the ball without stopping and shoot the threatening ball.

Even the world's top players are difficult to do.

But Zhang Tiehan believes that he can do it.

His strength is much greater than that of ordinary players. He has trained for several months to shoot long shots. His accuracy is very good. All he needs to train is whether he can play the right force when he reacts temporarily.

It is not easy to improve in personal training. The team needs to complete normal training and conduct intensive leagues. Therefore, Zhang Tiehan doesn’t have much time to train alone, so he often needs to practice more.

Then I can only look for Beronte.

Beronte has never played professional football, but his research on football technology theory is pretty good. Some people think it's just a piece of paper. Several assistant coaches and youth team coaches are not optimistic about Beronte, and Zhang Tiehan believes in him.

Those things in Beronte are probably not very useful when used on ordinary players, but they can bring a lot of benefits to themselves in shooting training, and his guidance is very helpful to them.

On the same day, Zhang Tiehan proposed his own ideas to Beronte, and soon the next day, Beronte gave some suggestions.

"You need to find a teammate to train together, otherwise the improvement will not be very big." Berronte said at the end.

Zhang Tiehan also knew it.

He trains himself, or even trains with Beronte, and it really doesn't work. After all, Beronte is not a professional player, so he can't be a "passing machine".

So he found Ridell and asked the other party to help with training.

Ridell has always had a good relationship with him, but Ridell likes to visit nightclubs and will definitely not have much time to help him train.

But recently, Ridell may be very leisurely. It is said that he met the bar female owner Dallie, but Ridell became very "behaved" and hadn't gone out for a long time to go out for a night.

...

"Hey, Andy, do you want to go out together tonight?" Brekin asked with a smile.

"No, I'm going to help Zhang train for two hours, and I think this will help me." Ridell was sorting out his stuff.

"What?"

Brekin looked at Ridell in disbelief, and he couldn't think of why his old friend would do this.

Extra training? What's that? Isn't that a proper noun belonging to Zhang Tiehan?

Ridell said solemnly, "Yes, you heard it right, Ian, it's not good to go to nightclubs. You are a professional player, and don't you like that girl named Bernis? She definitely doesn't like you who go to nightclubs every day."

"Is this true?" Brekin said uncertainly.

"Of course, no girl would like her boyfriend to go to nightclubs all day long." Zhang Tiehan walked over and said.

"No, no!" Brekin immediately reacted and said, "It has nothing to do with you, Andy, what I asked is why you promised to train with Zhang... If it were normal, you would definitely rather sleep at home!"

A 'gossip' color suddenly flashed in Brekin's eyes, and he asked, "Is it because of Darley?"

Ridell glanced at Brekin and walked away.

Zhang Tiehan said, "Ian, don't you know that the game against Everton will be in another week?"

"I know of course, but it has anything to do with Andy going to train with you."

Zhang Tiehan smiled and said, "Dalie said that if Wigan won Everton and reached the League Cup final, she would agree to formally date Andy."

"That woman?" Brekin couldn't believe it, "Is this true? It's impossible..."

"Really." Zhang Tiehan nodded.

"But it doesn't matter if you practice more."

“You should learn to be helpful.”

Anyway, Zhang Tiehan convinced Ridell to train with him. Brekin, who had no one to accompany him to the nightclub, had no choice but to stay and train with them.

Zhang Tiehan is very happy. With Brekin, there are people defending, and the three of them can even conduct very complicated training.

Zhang Tiehan is responsible for shooting, Brekin is responsible for defense, and Ridell is responsible for passing the ball.

...

"bump!"

Zhang Tiehan shot and stuck on the post. After a loud bang, the post trembled slightly, and Brekin grinned - Fortunately, the ball was not pulled on him, otherwise the consequences would not be very good.

Zhang Tiehan stepped on the grass with great force, and the corner kick was very strong and his feet were a little hurt.

But... it's very cool!

The feeling of venting all your strength on shooting and shooting directly without stopping the ball is really cool.

He never thought that controlling his strength was originally a long shot, and the greater the strength, the better, and strength was his advantage. Why should he control his own advantage?

If it were a game, it would be better to have more strength, so that the opponent's goalkeeper would choose to see the right direction and would probably not be able to save the ball.

If he could also play such a ball in the game, his long shot would catch up with the threat of heading, so he would have an extra method of scoring.

It will not be easy for the other party to defend him.

"Zhang, I finally know why you always need to practice more." Brekin looked at the trembling goal post and said in a daze. "If I have the strength, I will practice more every day. In the future, when anyone is unhappy in the game, I will definitely draw the ball on his face."

"That must be very exciting." Ridell also answered.

Thinking of the way the ball was drawn on the face, the three of them laughed, but Brekin turned his mind and decided not to defend Zhang Tiehan seriously in training in the future... If he made him unhappy and came to such a kick, it would be too late to cry.

...

After the game against Crystal Palace, many voices criticizing Zhang Tiehan appeared in the media.

Especially some media led by Manchester Sports News, they started from Zhang Tiehan's personal abilities and analyzed his abilities in detail. What they said was very reasonable and made it difficult to refute.

Why did Zhang Tiehan fail to score goals in three rounds and perform worse in one game?

It's very simple, because the opponent has studied him thoroughly. As a striker, his goal methods are too single, and most goals rely on headers. Although the speed is very fast, few teams in the League One are willing to play against Wigan Athletics, and most of them are defensive counterattacks.

The opponent is the main defense, and even if Zhang Tiehan is fast, he cannot show his advantages. He is a center forward, not a wing forward, and his fast speed is really not very effective.

Zhang Tiehan has a single goal method, and as long as the opponent defends in a targeted manner, it will be difficult for him to perform.

It is difficult for such a player to truly become an excellent striker, because as long as the opponent understands him, he will not have the opportunity to exert his strength. Once he truly gains fame, more opponents will study him and find ways to stop him. It will be even more difficult to score goals at that time.

In fact, what they said makes sense. Walsol and the head coach of Crystal Palace said in an interview after the game, "...Sheffield United's defense against Zhang was very successful. That game inspired me, so I asked my players to guard him."

Once a player becomes famous, he will always encounter such things. Those truly outstanding world-class forwards will be targeted by their opponents in every game, and it is very difficult to perform.

However, the media is still a bit pessimistic about Zhang Tiehan's future comments. This is because Zhang Tiehan's skills are not good and his goal methods are also very single. "He has excellent physical fitness, but he is good at heading and speed. As long as the opponent makes arrangements for these two aspects, it will be difficult for him to perform."

"I think the game at Stamford Bridge will be the most colorful moment in his professional football life, and that will be his most beautiful memory...but just memories..."

"He's only eighteen years old."

...

These criticisms of the media are in sharp contrast to the previous popular flattery, and Zhang Tiehan sees them all and remembers them in his heart.

In Zhang Tiehan's opinion, these media are not as good as Manchester Sports News, which has always been "committed to" belittle themselves, and their camp has never changed. When these media perform well, they praise and criticize them when they perform mediocrely. They are just a group of clowns who are competing for power.

Wait.

When I practice my long-range shooting skills, I will give you a surprise then!

Zhang Tiehan thought.

All he needs to do is train hard and practice his abilities well. Then let these guys who say that his "Stanford Bridge journey is a memory" know that that is just the beginning of his glorious football life.

Training training.

He devoted himself to training and ignored other things. This is Zhang Tiehan's current situation. He almost abandoned all his spare time activities, training, eating, and sleeping at three o'clock.

No one else knows how Zhang Tiehan has recently, but seeing Ridell, Brekin and Beronte who have trained, they are surprised by his obvious progress.

They can all imagine how much sensation it will cause when Zhang Tiehan can really show his ability to "shot a long shot" in the game - it will definitely be a nightmare for his opponent.

Ridell smiled, "Ian, it seems that our game against Everton will be very relaxed."

Brekin nodded mutely and then said, "You are thinking of your Aunt Dali..."

"If you mention 'aunt' again, I don't mind letting Zhang aim his sight at your face." A dangerous light flashed in Riddle's eyes.
