After experiencing an absurd night without impression, Zhang Tiehan felt inexplicably. He regretted drinking too much yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered nothing. Beth really attacked him? Thinking of this possibility, he felt that the egg hurts... He is a man, a strong man, a fierce man, and was actually reversed by a petite girl!

But no matter what, life has to continue.

After leaving Beth's house, Zhang Tiehan went home directly. After two days of life doing nothing, he devoted himself to training again.

This holiday, Lola has been in Manchester because of work. He is alone in Wigan and doesn't know what to do. Fortunately, he has the key to the training ground, and Old Hosen has a good relationship with him, so he can still enter the training ground to train.

Training, training, training...

In order to perform better, to realize your dreams as soon as possible and become a famous big star, you need to work hard.

Two days later, the holiday ended, and his teammates also came to the training ground, and Javier began to arrange tactical training again.

The league gap during this period is very important for Wigan Athletics. Jewell believes that he can adjust the physical fitness of some players, perform some tactics that he had thought of before, and allow players to adapt to new tactics. After all, it is not long to use new tactics. Not only Zhang Tiehan, but others are also a little uncomfortable, otherwise the game will become much easier.

In this regard, Jewell has considerable confidence.

Confidence comes from the strength of the team, and more importantly, Zhang Tiehan's strength.

Zhang Tiehan has shown his dominance in the frontcourt. If he is now at his specific position, he is not a real free man. He does not have that much freedom, and the free man is just an imagination, or rather, it is the future goal that Jewell sets him.

In fact, freeman is harder to kick than fixed positions.

Think about it, the "free man" seems to be very free, but it is not in tactics, and the requirements for running, passing and receiving are stricter. In modern football, the tactical requirements are becoming more and more rigorous. There are eleven players in the field, and each of them has a fixed game and tactical task. If there is an extra free man, how can this free man integrate into a intensive and complex tactical system?

Perhaps, fifty years ago, there were players who could play the 'freedom' well.

Modern football tactics are much more complicated than fifty years ago. Even the players with the best consciousness in the world can never really adapt to the position of a free man. What's more, Zhang Tiehan, who already lacks in overall situation and consciousness.

That's why Jewell let other players give up their positions when they meet Zhang Tiehan.

This will affect the competition status of others. After all, their running position is not very problematic. If you suddenly want to give up your position for Zhang Tiehan, your competition status will definitely be affected, and sometimes you will be at a loss.

The team's use of new tactics is far from being mature, and can only be said to be able to use it just now.

As everyone adapts to tactics more, Jewell believes that the power of the new tactics will increase a lot, especially seeing the team's recent state, he knows that the team is slowly adapting, and this adaptation process may continue until the end of the season, but the team's performance will also get better and better.

He believed that as long as the opponent could not defend Zhang Tiehan, the game would be easier to play.

This is also why Jewell believes in the new tactics.

Zhang Tiehan is the center of tactics. If Zhang Tiehan performs well, the team will perform well. If he does not perform well, the cooperation of the other ten members of the team can also exert some power. This is much stronger than the team's offense that has always had problems before.

...

Three days later, the team received new news about the League Cup draw.

The League Cup has reached the semi-finals, with only four teams remaining, namely Arsenal, Bolton, Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletics.

There are three Premier League teams in the four teams, but media comments say that Wigan Athletics is not the weakest team. The one among the four teams should be Bolton. They are the promoted teams in the Premier League last season. They have great hopes of relegation in the Premier League this season. If you want to say that the results are not very good, they rank 14th in the Premier League standings.

Compared with the previous one, Wigan Athletics is considered stronger than Bolton due to its outstanding performance in the League One and its strength in the League Cup.

The strongest team among them is naturally Arsenal.

The strong Arsenal, there is no need to explain... They have not lost the team in the league so far, and combined with their results at the end of last season, they have achieved unbeaten in the league for 39 rounds.

This result is indeed quite terrifying in the Premier League in the top league.

Fortunately, Wigan Athletics did not meet Arsenal in the semi-finals, and they met the "weakest" Bolton.

After learning this news, the whole team was very happy. The opponent was Bolton, so they had the opportunity to defeat their opponents and go to Cardiff Millennium Stadium to participate in the League Cup final. This was absolutely unimaginable in the past, especially those players who have been playing in the English Second Division. They had the opportunity to enter the Century Stadium to play the finals and compete with the English giants for the championship.

"Just like dreaming..." Old Roberts said.

Ridell was also a little dazed, and he was very happy whenever he thought of the team's results.

He devoted his football career to Wigan Athletics. As a player with considerable strength, he did not choose to leave the team, but stayed with the team to work hard for the team's upgrade. Now the team's performance is very good, which is not only an honor, but also an achievement of his life dream.

This means a lot to Ridell.

He is the happiest person on the team. He also worked hard in training and urged others to cheer together. "We are going to go to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff," he said.

As for Bolton who was blocking the road, many people automatically ignored it.

They have defeated Fulham, Chelsea, Everton, and Aston Villa, why can't they defeat the 'weaker' Bolton?

Javier sighed a long sigh, too.

He had been worried about meeting Arsenal before, and that would even consider giving up the League Cup... Even though they had reached the semi-finals, Arsenal was too strong, so powerful that Wigan Athletic could only look up to. Wigan Athletic had a good performance in the League One. They achieved unbeaten records in the League One, but there were a lot of draws, while Arsenal achieved unbeaten records in the Premier League, and depending on the situation, they would even win the Premier League championship ahead of schedule.

The two undefeated achievements are simply not the same.

After a day of training, Jewell brought the players together and said to everyone, "Before the season started, we were a new team, and few people were optimistic about us, but now, we were doing perfectly on the semi-schedule, yes, perfect, I want to use this word to describe our results."

Everyone laughed.

They are also very satisfied with the team's performance. They are a newly promoted team and have finished fourth in the league in half and entered the semi-finals of the League Cup. What else are they not satisfied with?

"But……"

Javier changed his voice, "We can't be careless because of this. In the league, we have to strive for every victory. I hope we can compete in the Premier League next season. At that time, everyone will be the team's promotion heroes, and every Wigan fan will remember your name..."

"Also, in the League Cup, we have reached the semifinals, and I don't think anyone will retreat at this time, so we have to strive to enter the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!"

"The opponent is Bolton..."

"But don't read those media comments, we can't celebrate the victory until we win!"

Javier disbanded the team after he finished speaking, but everyone remembered these words.

They were surprised.

From the beginning of the season to the present, Javier has never said the team's goals. Now what he really said, despite his mental preparation, they still feel some pressure.

Two goals: to enter the finals of the League Cup, and to strive for upgrades in the league.

The former wants to beat Bolton, and the goal is very close, because in a week, they will fight Bolton.

According to the rules of the League Cup, the semi-finals are the most special duel, because this game is played at home and away games, and the home and away game is calculated using the home and away game. The final score needs to be calculated together. That is to say, they need to play two games and defeat their opponents.

The latter is to maintain the league rankings.

According to the English League One upgrade system, the league champion and runner-up will automatically be upgraded to the Premier League next season, and the third to fifth place will have to play in the playoffs and decide the last Premier League place.

If you want to ensure your promotion to the Premier League, it is naturally the best to enter the top two leagues.

It may be good to have pressure. During the next day of training, everyone became very serious. Even Brekin, who has always liked to cheat and cheat, completed each training task as required.

Javier was quite satisfied with this.

In fact, he also has his own considerations. He has set the team's goals for a long time, but he has never said it, just because he is afraid that the players will be under pressure. With a relaxed mentality without a goal, he may be in better shape. But now the team's performance is very good, and he is worried that the players will relax because of this.

Telling your goals is also a motivation to strive for everyone.
