Although he received his first contract in his career, Francisco Costinha made him adapt to the team's tactics and the style of the Portuguese league, and in the first game of the new season, the main goalkeeper of the University of Coimbra was José Costa, who wore the No. 71 shirt.

The Portuguese League Cup is made up of all the teams from the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese League A that season, and the first round of the competition is a single-leg knockout round by drawing lots for the 19 teams of the Portuguese League (except for the Portuguese Super League reserves), which takes place one week before the start of the Portuguese League.

If the University of Coimbra has no ambitions for the League Cup, it is not necessarily, at least not in the first round.

The first round of the tournament was against Gil Vicente, who had been relegated from the Portuguese Super League last season, at the opponent's home stadium, the Stadio Barcelos.

The University of Coimbra and Gil Vicente battled fiercely for 120 minutes, but neither side achieved anything, and finally in the penalty shoot-out, Gil Vicente had the last laugh 5-4.

Costinha regretted that, at least he didn't bring on a man before extra time, and Costa's performance in the penalty shoot-out made up his mind to straighten the spot.

A week later, at the start of the first round of the Portuguese league, Coimbra visited the José Arcangelo stadium, wearing the number 97 shirt, and started his first professional football match as the main goalkeeper.

Zhang Zhetian's debut was surprisingly satisfying, keeping the goal clean in the first half, and making several threatening saves to give his team a 1-0 lead in the first half.

But shortly after the start of the second half, the University of Coimbra's very different performance from the first half gave a glimpse of the potential of its away bugs in the future.

The home team Ollennes were seventh in the Portuguese league last season, with a good home record, conceding only four games, and the University of Coimbra played in the Portuguese league for the first time, and there were clear signs of not adapting to the soil, after leading in the first half, they did not want to make progress in the second half, playing defensive football to hold on to the one-goal lead.

Unwilling to lose their opening home game to a relegated side, Olyanes launched a second-half onslaught and equalised in the 52nd minute by Colombian teenager Jörg Prado.

This conceded goal, to be honest, has little to do with Zhang Zhetian, it is completely pitted by pig teammates.

Ollennes' constant pressing in the front court caused mistakes in the Universitatea Coimbra defense, and the ill-prepared Zhang Zhetian had to accept the cruel reality of conceding a goal on his debut when he encountered his teammate's cheating situation for the first time.

Although he conceded the goal, Costinha saw it very clearly, this is simply the pot of the back line, he is just worried that the young Zhang Zhetian will be frustrated after losing the goal, which will affect the subsequent games.

But Zhang Zhetian, who has a big heart, was only annoyed for a few minutes, and then he was fully absorbed and concentrated on the game.

Fortunately, his teammates were lucky enough to score a goal, the University of Coimbra had a thrilling start to the new season, and Costinha also strengthened his position as the main force of the palm.

In the last ten minutes and stoppage time, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Zhetian continued to save the dangerous ball in front of the goal, the three points of the University of Coimbra would not have been reached, and in the post-match rating, Zhang Zhetian was voted the best player of the game, and the fans of the University of Coimbra for the first time turned their attention to the hero who kept the three points.

In the next two Portuguese league games, the University of Coimbra suffered two consecutive defeats home and away, with a score of 1-0.

But Costinha withstood the pressure and let Zhang Zhetian continue to start, he knew very well that the responsibility for the team's loss had nothing to do with Zhang Zhetian, and the two goals conceded were not Zhang Zhetian's fault.

In the fourth round of the league, the home team against Portimonense, the top team of the three-game winning streak, is the battle of the name of the leader, facing the away team that averages more than 2 goals per game, the passive University of Coimbra can draw the opponent without conceding a goal, and the second time to win the best of the game Zhang Zhetian is indispensable.

In the eyes of more than 20,000 home fans, Portimonens, who was attacking throughout the game, could not break through the big palms of the No. 97 Chinese goalkeeper no matter how fierce the offensive was, especially the away team's penalty kick before the end, which was slapped out by Zhang Zhetian.

At the end of the game, the fans stood up and gave a warm applause to the handsome man who was trying to keep the door open, and from that match, the fans of the University of Coimbra began to get to know this small but extraordinary Chinese teenager seriously.

It is also from the clean sheet in this game that Zhang Zhetian's performance is getting better and better, although the University of Coimbra has become the away bug of the Portuguese League, but the strong home record allows the University of Coimbra to occupy the third place in the league, and Zhang Zhetian has helped the team reach the quarterfinals without conceding a goal in three consecutive games in the Portuguese Cup, and failed to go further in the cup because Zhang Zhetian accumulated yellow cards and was suspended in the previous league home game against Oryannes.

The rules for red and yellow cards in the Portuguese league are to accumulate five yellow cards and be suspended for one match, which can be a league or cup match. How did Zhang Zhetian, as a goalkeeper, get five yellow cards?

Fans of the University of Coimbra will tell you that the patron saint of the University of Coimbra is half flame and half iceberg.

Because when Zhang Zhetian faced the shot, he was calm and outrageous, and when his teammates scored goals and the team won, he was excited and sometimes took off his jersey, as if he had scored a goal.

In the second round of the league at home to Olyannis, teammate Neil Prange scored the second goal in the 89th minute to kill the game, and the bloody palm Zhetian actually ran in front of him and took off his shirt and threw it at him, and then, the referee helplessly took out the topaz card.

Costinha, who was on the sidelines, covered his face speechlessly, but the fans in the stands of the stadium let out a good-natured laugh.

"If it weren't for the suspension, we wouldn't have stopped in the quarterfinals." After losing away to Estoril in the Portuguese Super League in the Portuguese Cup, Costinha was unconvinced and told reporters.

After all, two of the three opponents eliminated in the process of reaching the quarterfinals were Portuguese Super League teams, and Estoril was no better than those two teams.

And in that game, if it wasn't for a missed penalty, if it wasn't for a mistake at the back of the team, if it wasn't for the goalkeeper Costa who made a rash attack, of course, all the fans of the University of Coimbra would have decided that they would have won this game if their patron saint had been in charge.

But their patron saint was tempted by the big foreign teams.

"Palm, Manchester City and Arsenal are the most interested in you." Mark Ter Stegen sat next to Zhang Zhetian and said.

In the stands of Da Mota Stadium, Zhang Zhetian and his good friends chatted while watching the game.

"Who will you choose?"
