Chapter 9 The new "Shaq"!

Wang Tiezhu will never forget the day of September 3, 2011. The weather was pretty good on this day, with a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the temperature of more than ten degrees is very suitable for a football game. Today is the match day for Leeds United Under-18 youth team at home and Wigan Athletic Youth Team.

Before training in the morning, after Chris Sally announced the team's starting lineup and substitute list in the locker room, the players looked at their coach in surprise, with doubts in their eyes. Even the captain of the youth team, Connor Quarter, directly raised his own question: "Boss, did you get the wrong starting lineup? How could there be no Shaq's name?"

Wang Tiezhu has recently become a pillar-like figure in the youth team. Although he is not the captain or the most conspicuous person, he has won an important position in the locker room with his performance on the court. Everyone in this team knows how big the difference is between him and him. As long as Wang Tiezhu is there, when they play on the court, they don’t need to worry that their opponents can directly pose a threat to their team. The forwards can charge forward with confidence, and the defenders can also think about how they should cut off the opponent’s midfield and pass the forwards.

The fierce trembling of Wang Tiezhu with his opponent on the court also made Wang Tiezhu's nickname "Shaq" louder and louder. The average card-taking rate of one yellow card per game seemed as glorious as the medal on him.

Chris Sally smiled and shook his head, looked at Wang Tiezhu and said, "Young guys, I didn't get the wrong list, because...hehe, let's congratulate Zach...well, Shaq! From today on, he will be a member of our first team!"

"Oh heh————”

"call out----"

“Oh—oh—oh—oh—oh—”

There were whistles, laughter and...cheeks in the locker room!

Nathan Toonel screamed and hugged Wang Tiezhu's neck and laughed: "Hey, man! I really didn't expect you to become the first guy among us to go to the first team! Ahha, but you should thank me. If I didn't tackle your legs, you wouldn't be able to change your career and play defensive midfielder, so you wouldn't have the chance to play football in the first team!"

Reeves Toonel also shouted excitedly: "Shake, after going to the first team, you must give those old guys some colors to let them know the strength of our youth team!"

David Soma looked at Wang Tiezhu with a smile on his face. He has become more and more optimistic about this young man nicknamed "Shaq". From him, he can almost see all the excellent qualities of a professional player, tenacity, resilience, hardship, talent, and most importantly... good luck!

"Shake!"

David Soma and a group of boys joked with Wang Tiezhu. When Chris scolded him to change his clothes, he called him over with a smile, patted the seat beside him and said, "Shake, sit down, let's talk a few words."

After waving his hands to his teammates, Wang Tiezhu sat down with a smile: "David, is there anything wrong?"

David Soma smiled and said, "Shake, congratulations on going to the first team soon."

"Thanks!"

David Soma nodded with a smile: "Zach, do you know about our team's first team...?"

"No!" Wang Tiezhu smiled and shook his head: "In fact, I can't even call the names of the first team people except you. Even if the first team encounters difficulties this year, I will only know through my girlfriend."

After hearing Wang Tiezhu's answer, David Soma was stunned. He didn't expect that the young players in the youth team would not care about the situation of the first team, but thinking about this kid who had only been here for half a year, he was relieved.

"Well, let's put it this way, there are two kids in the first team that must not be offended. One is midfielder Jonny Hausen and the other is left-back Ben Parker. They are the core figures of the team and the direct players trained by our team themselves. Although both of them are only twenty-three years old, they have been in the team for ten or eight years, so... you must have a good relationship with them after you go to the first team, otherwise there will be no chance for you to gain a foothold in the first team."

Well!

Wang Tiezhu was shocked when he heard this. Why did he even have such a factional dispute when he arrived in England and Leeds United?

Are these Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker the same ball tycoon as Li Qiming in China?

It seems... there are worlds where there are people!

It seemed that Wang Tiezhu's concern was seen, David Soma patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Shake, don't worry, I just said that you want you to get along well with them. In fact, they are pretty good, especially players like you who have played from the youth team and have very strong strength. They will definitely accept you."

"Haha...hehe..."

Wang Tiezhu could only answer David Soma's words with a silly smile.

"Smack!"

Chris Sally clapped his face and shouted, "Okay OK! You lazy guys, those who have changed their clothes, will all get onto the training ground for me! Shaq, stay! Everyone else is hurry up! Hurry up!"

Chris Sally was quite fierce at this time. If he had another whip, it would be no different from the cruel supervisor in ancient times. However, the players all knew that this old guy was a good guy, and he just had strict requirements on everyone.

When the players walked out of the locker room one after another, there were only Wang Tiezhu and Chris Sally, Wang Tiezhu thought his coach had something to say to him, but suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a fierce look in the door. However, the man smiled like a flower at this time, and raised his hand to say hello to someone as soon as he entered the door.

"Hi Chris! Hi Zach!"

Chris Sully glanced at him and said to Wang Tiezhu: "Shake, come here, let me introduce you to this damn guy is Green Snouting, the assistant coach of the first team, who is here to pick you up."

Assistant coach of the first team?

"Hello, Mr. Green!"

"Ha, Zach, you're good too!"

Wang Tiezhu politely shook hands with Green Snouting. After looking at each other, the two shook each other's hands hard and nodded.

Wang Tiezhu has a good impression of Green Snouting. He can feel that this man has a strict temperament, which is very similar to Chris Sally. Such a coach should be easy to get along with, at least for a player like Wang Tiezhu who is commonplace in training.

Green Snouting also has a good impression of Wang Tiezhu. The young man looks a little thin but very strong. He doesn't look like a player who is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms. He looks quite flexible. He looks very energetic with short hair, but it seems that he lacks the ferocity of a defensive player. I really don't know what this kid will look like on the court?

Chris Sally said, "Green, I've handed over to you, but you have to remember it for me. If you and Simon don't use Shaq well, I will definitely get him back then!"

Green Snouting laughed and said, "Old guy, don't worry, Simon and I will definitely love this little guy very much. Okay, Zach, it's time to leave. Now pack your belongings and go to the first team with me!"

"Okay, Mr. Green!"

Wang Tiezhu agreed and took two travel bags from his cabinet and carried them on his back. These were all his things. When he came to Leeds from Liverpool, he also carried these two travel bags. After taking a look at the white youth team jersey, Wang Tiezhu closed the cabinet door.

"Okay, Chris, I'll take Zach away now!"

"Head, I'm leaving!"

"kindness!"

Chris Sally nodded, looked at Wang Tiezhu who was walking in front of him, and went up and hugged hard: "Shake, good luck! And... don't embarrass me!"

Wang Tiezhu grinned and gave a thumbs up, his fingertips were directed at him, then waved his hand with Chris Sully and walked out of the locker room, following Green Snouting to the small building used by the first team.

Thorpe Arch training base is not big. It is only three or four hundred meters away from the youth team to the first team. The training grounds are only a few dozen meters apart. The two areas are only symbolically blocked with a one-meter-high fence, but this fence is like a natural barrier that crosses every young player. After all, people like Wang Tiezhu who have the opportunity to cross over are only a few. When Wang Tiezhu and Green Snouting passed through a small wooden door, he was full of ambitions at this moment, just like many predecessors. He believed that he would definitely succeed in the first team and he finally became a professional player playing football in England. This was something he had never dreamed of when playing football in China.

It seemed that Wang Tiezhu was a little nervous. Green Snouting smiled and said, "Zach, I have always forgotten to ask why Chris called you 'Shake'? Is there any reason I don't know about it?"

Wang Tiezhu laughed and said, "Actually it's nothing. Shaq is just my nickname. Everyone said that when I was on the court, I was a little fierce, uh, cruel, so I gave me such a nickname. As a result, everyone got used to calling me. In the end, even Chris, Nell, Rudy and others shouted like this."

Green Snouting nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Shake, are you talking about the big guy in the sea?"

Wang Tiezhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's that!"

Shaq?

Shaq!

Hahahahaha...

Green Snouting can probably guess what "Shake" means. This should mean that when Wang Tiezhu plays on the court, he can hit his opponent with a brutal brutality like a shark smelling blood in the sea!?

He smiled and patted Wang Tiezhu on the shoulder. Green Snouting encouraged: "Shake, I hope that when you come to the first team, you can complete more steals for our team on the court and tear all your opponents apart!"
Chapter completed!
