That night, the agent Yan Beizhai found for Zuo Lin flew from Beijing to Shanghai and started to contact the club. Zuo Lin didn't quite understand what was going on and why there was another agent suddenly, but he was too lazy to care about it. He directly signed the agent contract prepared for him by Yan Beizhai. All the subsequent matters would naturally be handled by an agent.

When the club general manager saw this agent named Sang Shilin, he couldn't help but sigh again. The energy of the old man Yan Beizhai is really huge. Sang Shilin can be said to be one of the oldest professional agents in China. He opened a sports agency and has several domestic agents with great energy. In recent years, Sang Shilin has rarely come forward in person. It is because of Yan Beizhai's phone call that he can be said to be a big shot in the domestic sports industry. Yan Beizhai may not think it is a big deal to find a friend to help, but in the eyes of others, this is completely different.

Sang Shilin's face made the contract negotiation very simple. Sang Shilin has been struggling in this circle for many years and naturally knows the desire of Shenbao Club for a good goalkeeper. He has also roughly understood why Shenbao Club has such an eager signing intention from Zuo Lin.

Sang Shilin also knew that contracts that were eager for quick success and instant benefits might have serious sequelae. Zuo Lin, who was backed by Yan Beizhai, would not be short of money. He should not be too serious about money by just transforming from a farmer to a professional player. He set a very low annual salary for the club. Cheng Yi, the general manager of the club who had already prepared to be slaughtered, signed the contract happily, and at the same time promised to personally supervise the implementation of a series of additional clauses in the contract. Among these additional clauses, there are special holiday arrangements for Zuo Lin, the freedom of the players and daily treatment, and some related matters about training and competition...

Sang Shilin and his economic company may not be able to earn much money from this three-year contract. At least for now, Zuo Lin, who has not performed in any league, will not have portrait rights income, advertising and other income, but Sang Shilin still sees the taste of money from this contract.

Not many days before the league started, Zuo Lin was at ease with his teammates to train during this period. In fact, he had no other place to go. His home was occupied by several graduate students from Yu Pingzhang. They took over Zuo Lin's original work and monitored the two greenhouses very carefully. Each plant was photographed and sampled regularly, and the temperature and humidity changes in the small environment were monitored for 24 hours. The data was directly transmitted to the computer and became neat curves... To be honest, these graduate students' methods of taking care of greenhouses and their seriousness were much better than Zuo Lin.

There seems to be nothing to worry about when my grandfather Zuo Qiang is in charge. Under Mr. Yan's arrangement, the expert consultation will overturn the case, which was originally classified as a terminal illness. Although the surgery proposed by those experts combined with other physiotherapy methods is not expensive, for Mr. Yan, this is not a problem worth using even a brain cell.

Zuo Lin, who entered the first team for joint training, felt a strange look again. The main goalkeeper in the team looked at him with a dismay and hatred. The other teammates in the team could not say that they had any good feelings for this new teammate who had not been tested in practice. However, Zuo Lin's performance quickly conquered everyone.

During the past 10 days of training, Zuo Lin has been with everyone every day, even the physical training that the goalkeeper does not need. On the second day of Zuo Lin's training with the team, head coach Luo Xianjie asked Zuo Lin to change from the goalkeeper's position to the shooting team. Because he stood in front of the goal, no one could shoot a ball for an hour. It was normal that he could save 70% of the ball in extreme training, and he could naturally deal with Yu Ru for such a 3 to 4 seconds ball. During the team training, although Zuo Lin wanted to get serious, he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. He was like a lazy lion curled up in front of the goal, and ignored everything that happened. Only when the ball flew towards the goal, he moved, easily grabbed the ball, and threw it far away to his teammates in the frontcourt.

What made Zuo Lin happy was that the club agreed to him play the limit test every day. He was constantly familiar with the test and adjusted his movements to a simpler one. Two days before the league started, in the last limit test before the game, Zuo Lin had improved his score to 449 goals, with a success rate approaching 75%. This result made head coach Luo Xianjie finally make up his mind to start Zuo Lin in the league. He is not afraid of Zuo Lin's pressure due to abnormality. He feels that it doesn't matter if it is abnormal. Zuo Lin can play halfway, which is already a nightmare for all opponents.

When Zuo Lin first stepped onto the field of the game, both the fans, the media and the opponents knew nothing about this goalkeeper who was only 18 years old. However, everyone always knew a little about the situation of the Shenbao team. Because there was no good goalkeeper, Shenbao was between 4 and 6th place in the league every year, and hesitated for several years. The youth army of that year is now gradually growing and is now at the peak of his career. As a team that mainly discovers talents from the inside and maintains a high degree of stability and unity, this is a very difficult result. Once there is a good goalkeeper, the Shenbao team's performance will improve significantly.

Can this 18-year-old goalkeeper really bear the expectations of so many fans? Can this goalkeeper who has no league experience and has only a few days of registration as a professional player to relieve his teammates? After failing to introduce a goalkeeper and foreign aid, Shenbao Club finally gave up on himself or is there something unique about this guy named Zuo Lin? The insiders and laymen also looked at each other, not knowing how to judge. The commentator even just took it over and tried not to mention this person who did not have even a line of information in his hands.

Shen Bao's first opponent in the league was the third Qingdao team last year. Facing a rookie goalkeeper, it is naturally what Qingdao team is very accustomed to using frequent shots to test their level. However, what surprised everyone was that when facing these shots with not bad levels, Zuo Lin never even used both hands. Instead, he grabbed them with one hand and threw them to the defender closest to him. The relaxedness really made people wonder if the football flew into the small penalty area and suddenly shrank the number one.

The head coach of Qingdao team was wondering after watching for a few minutes. Why did Shen Bao, which has always pursued a balance between offense and defense, now pressing so deeply, and the forward and midfielder's return to defense are not so active. Are they really not worried about the goal? Or is this goalkeeper so powerful that they don't need to worry?

The fact is the latter. Although he has not yet integrated into the team well, the young goalkeeper has won the trust and even awe of the whole team these days. In these days, the arrogant first-team players have even begun to doubt their shooting skills. The shooting training data has lost its reference value as the coach adjusts the training method. In group confrontation, unless Zuo Lin's defender misses a super missed person and lets the opponent play, it is almost impossible to score a goal. Even if it is a single shot, Zuo Lin's ball was saved by Zuo Lin, or the goal that he thought was definitely scored was saved. In the official game, Shen Bao's team naturally cannot want to deliberately miss someone for Zuo Lin to play in group confrontation. In this case, as long as the defenders and Zuo Lin perform normally, the forward and midfielder can naturally save their energy slightly and do not have to go back and forth.

Shen Bao's strength is already very good, and the chemical cooperation brought by a good goalkeeper to the whole team is even more obvious. The slightly pressing formation pushed Qingdao team to the half and repeatedly ravaged. However, it was not until 30 minutes of the first half that Shen Bao team knocked on the opponent's door.

At this time, the deafening cheers woke Zuo Lin from his drowsiness.

Zuo Lin shook his head hard, as if to throw away the heavier and heavier sleepiness. He never thought that the game would be so boring. Indeed, compared with the limit of 15 minutes he was used to every day, or compared with the routine shooting training and confrontation training every day, this real game was too slow for him. During the confrontation training, everyone was not very careful in defense. No matter what, there were always several shots in 3 or 5 minutes. Now, there were not many chances of the ball flying to his half. Zuo Lin looked at the Qingdao goalkeeper. Although he was scored a goal, at least the guy looked very energetic, jumping around and yelling from time to time, regardless of whether the ball was in front of the goal or within his control.

Zuo Lin began to understand why he did this. If he didn't find something to do, and if he stood at the door and looked at the battle situation in front of him, he would immediately catch up. The goalkeeper's position is not a good position to watch the ball. Many goalkeepers just looked at everything that happened in front of him and gradually became an expert in football tactics. However, Zuo Lin didn't know so much about football at present, and his understanding of his position was limited to not letting the opponent score goals.

Finally, before the end of the first half, Qingdao team contributed another shot. A long-range shot with an average quality more than 2 meters away from the post was more than 2 meters away. Zuo Lin was too lazy to pick up the ball. Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half behind him.

The captain, the main central defender Tao Ye patted Zuo Lin's shoulder when he was off the court and asked considerately: "What do you think? Are you still adapting to the game atmosphere?" Tao Ye felt that Zuo Lin's mood has always been low, but his main energy was all in the middle of the field. Since there was no threat to the goal, he naturally didn't care about Zuo Lin's condition. Anyway, a newcomer always had various situations when entering the game, and always needed various adaptation processes.

Zuo Lin said embarrassedly: "It's nothing. I'm just bored. I touched the ball a few times in the past 45 minutes, and I was a little sleepy."

Tao Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. He raised his voice and shouted to his teammates who were walking towards the player passage in front: "Hey, Zuo Lin is almost asleep. Go to the locker room to make some coffee."

One side's attack made the opponent's goalkeeper doze off, and it was indeed a shame to say it. Teaching the expressions of the Qingdao team members around him. In fact, he said it to the other side. Taking advantage of all opportunities to attack the opponent in every possible way and gather oneself together is what he, the captain, is the best thing.

Head coach Luo Xianjie also heard Tao Ye's shout, turned around and smiled, put the small notebook he had recorded in his pocket, and walked towards the locker room.

This is the first time Zuo Lin has come into contact with the so-called locker room culture. Luo Xianjie doesn't like to say too much during the halftime break. He always sits Kung Fu in front of the game. He slightly emphasized the attack strategy of the second half and let everyone rest. Then, Luo Xianjie walked to Zuo Lin and asked, "Zuo Lin, I'm really dozing off."

Looking at Luo Xianjie's frowning, Zuo Lin thought the head coach was angry. He replied carefully: "...I used to be very nervous in training every day, and I had a ball every few days. I won't mention the 15-minute test. I went to the game all of a sudden, and the rhythm was too different, so I couldn't adjust it."

Thinking of Zuo Lin's extraordinary ability demonstrated through the 15-minute test, Luo Xianjie smiled self-deprecatingly, which probably means that if he was Zuo Lin, he would probably doze off in this kind of game. However, in front of Zuo Lin, the head coach cannot say that. If Zuo Lin becomes arrogant in the first game, it will be troublesome in the future. Luo Xianjie said: "The situation in the second half will be a little different, and the opponent will definitely strengthen the offensive. You just do whatever you want and keep your spirits better. You will react slowly when you are sleepy."

"Okay. Coach." Zuo Lin nodded and agreed.

However, Zuo Lin was disappointed. For some reason, Qingdao's offensive still did not improve in the second half. The number of attacks increased, but only two attacks were in front of the goal. In these two times, Zuo Lin waited for the ball with expectation, but saw Tao Ye swaying in front of him and the ball flew far high in the air...

"Master, please borrow this magazine to see." When the score was frozen at 3:0, Qingdao team gradually gave up resistance. Perhaps it was because of the lack of a good goalkeeper that Shen Bao's defense developed the habit of not allowing the ball to the goal. Although both sides began to slack off, it was still difficult for the ball to enter the penalty area. Zuo Lin had no choice but to see a photojournalist behind the billboard stuffing a copy of "Popular Photography" in his pocket of the photography vest. Zuo Lin, who was so bored, finally couldn't help but borrow a magazine to read it.

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and then handed it to the magazine in a bit incredible way. Then, there was a flash of lights around him. Perhaps this was not the first time these photographers pressed the shutter at Zuo Lin. When Zuo Lin came on the venue, they had taken a few photos, archived or were just a habit. However, for today's somewhat dull game, there was probably no more explanation than a goalkeeper who reads magazines on the court. This was simply a front page photo delivered to the door.

"Please don't make me too bored!" The huge title brought with it the rare photo on the court, which made Zuo Lin's media debut.
