5 Career First Stop
There is no shortage of talented players in world football, but there are not many who can finally turn talent into strength and get a coffee position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, talent alone is not enough, character and spirit determine whether a genius can go to the last step.
Look at Ravel Morrison, who was once regarded by Sir Alex Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils, as the best successor to Paul Paul Scholes, despite his talent, his character flaws and weak spirit make him a modern-day version of "Wounded Zhongyong".
Looking at his 'former team-mate' Pogba, who is the same age, has returned to Old Trafford for a record price, in addition to his development into an indispensable core at Juventus, his first appearance at the European Championship in France this summer proved that the high value is justified.
Genius is a "failure" case that the coaches of the current England team teach young players a lesson when they disobey them, and Pogba's success is not only Antonio Conte's value for him, but also his own character and mental strength.
If young players want to get a stable opportunity to play in the highly competitive first team, they must either take advantage of the team's heavy injuries to seize the opportunity to take the position, such as "youngster" Jian Luigi Buffon, "San Cassie" Igor Casillas, Zhetian's senior brother "Little Lion" Mark Ter Stegen, 99 genius Gian Luigi Donnarumma, etc., or you are the head coach's descendant, and the relationship is like a son.
Zhang Zhetian is neither, the first team of the University of Coimbra currently has two goalkeepers, both of whom are local players born in the 90s, among which Joao Gomez, who wears the No. 1 jersey that symbolizes the main goalkeeper, is his own youth training, tall, and Zhang Zhetian is the same year, but it is more than 8 months older.
Wearing the number 1 shirt is more of a symbol and Francisco Costinha will not risk putting him right, unless Gomez has the talent and quality of Real Madrid's Igor Casillas or Parma's Gianluigi Buffon. But it is clear that José Costa, who arrived at the University of Coimbra on a free transfer from Braga B on 1 July, is more of the main goalkeeper for the new season.
The 22-year-old, who previously played for Benfica B and Braga B, has only played in the Portuguese Serie A, but his experience will help Universidad Coimbra, who have just been relegated from the Portuguese Premiership.
The University of Coimbra played two pre-season friendlies on 9 and 16 July, with Costa playing both games and the team finishing well 1-0 and 1-1 respectively.
However, Costinha was not satisfied, Costa conceded an early goal in the second game, although he only conceded one goal, but the former Portugal international, who is accustomed to seeing world-class goalkeepers, has always found it difficult to recognize Costa's quality, and it is really difficult to reassure the team's door to be handed over to him.
In fact, before giving Zhang Zhetian a chance, the scouts of the University of Coimbra recommended the 27-year-old Ricardo Ribeiro, the backup goalkeeper of the Portuguese Super League Bilaneses.
If Costinha hadn't touched the wheel and given him a chance to play, maybe he would have brought in Ribeiro, at least on a resume basis, more reassuring than the two goalkeepers in the team.
But he is also very glad to have given Zhang Zhetian a chance, otherwise, the University of Coimbra would not still have a glimmer of hope for surpassing until now.
The opponent in the last game of the preseason was the Ferenc team, which had just been promoted to the Portuguese Super League, and Zhang Zhetian played the whole game, and the result of the game was 0-0, but the process of the game was ups and downs.
The fact that he did not concede a goal was not so much due to the solid defense of the University of Coimbra as it was to put on a one-man show.
Don't look at Ferrense as a promoted horse in the Portuguese Super League, but after recruitment, the strength is not comparable to the relegated University of Coimbra. There were 27 shots on goal and 19 shots on target, including 15 in the penalty area, and 8 were very threatening shots, all of which were rejected by Zhang Zhetian one by one.
"I've found a treasure, and I deserve to be Ter Stegen's junior brother!" Costina's eyes lit up and she trembled with excitement.
Although he is also a rookie coach, he has seen too many door gods in his years of playing career, and he naturally has a vision for people. Costinha knows very well that those 8 shots, even if Costa knocks the drug, hits the chicken, and makes half of the saves, half of them will be conceded.
Are you not afraid that the form and performance of young players will be inconsistent, and they will perform like a goalkeeper in one game and return to their original form in the next game?
But Costinha was willing to gamble because of Krampus' letter of recommendation, as he was the younger brother of Barça No. 1 Marc Andrés Ter Stegen.
Ter Stegen took the opportunity to squeeze off the team's main goalkeeper on his first appearance at Borussia Mönchengladbach, and with his consistent performances, he became the Colt's No. 1 goalkeeper ever since.
You must know that the little lion king was not yet 19 years old when he first appeared, and the senior brother is so powerful, will the junior brother be worse?
Although I don't know why other teams didn't fancy Zhang, Costinha made up his mind to sign Zhangzhetian as soon as possible, Portugal has no restrictions on non-EU players, as long as they are at least 18 years old, they can represent the first team, which is one of the reasons why Costinha is willing to sign Zhangzhetian.
Although he has not been in charge of the team for a long time, after summer training and friendly matches, Costinha is well aware of what the team's shortcomings are.
Weak attacking power, no way, the relegated University of Coimbra is difficult to attract powerful strikers, three friendly matches, the second game against Dondra is still an own goal sent by the opponent, University of Coimbra University is not without creating opportunities to score, but the team's forward strength is limited, can't eat the cake.
Therefore, Costinha's tone of the team's tactical play this season is very pragmatic and defensive, and he is also mentally prepared not to be able to overtake in the first season.
Zhang Zhetian, who played for the professional team for the first time, was very excited, although it was only a friendly match, he knew that whether he could stay or not depends on his performance in this friendly match.
When Zhang Zhetian excitedly signed his name on the first professional contract in his life, he knew that his childhood dream was finally coming true.
I don't know if it was the neglect of the University of Coimbra, or the lack of attention to Zhang Zhetian, who is a Chinese, in the liquidated damages on the contract, the amount filled in was actually 2 million euros.
"Mark, a team wants me, haha, I've signed a contract, and I'm a professional player now!"
"Which team is so unlucky to want you?"
"Get out!"
"What jersey are you wearing?"
"Number 97."
