a day of reversal

If the performance in training just now only surprised everyone, then Zuo Lin, who was in front of the goal, showed his ability in his first goalkeeper's performance, was enough to make everyone fall into the glasses. Zuo Lin didn't know how many moves the goalkeeper had, nor did he know what the impact of the movement normative movements would have. He only knew that the goalkeeper's responsibility was not to let the opponent score the goal. Just make sure the net behind him was empty. Maybe that's what Zuo Lin thought.

The main striker of the Blue Team and the main striker of the Youth Team Pan Yishi was the first to attack Zuo Lin, the rookie goalkeeper. A long shot that was more than 20 meters away from the goal was strong, and the ball flew straight towards the upper left corner of the goal. Zuo Lin easily took the ball, but he didn't want to be a goalkeeper, but like a basketball player who received a long pass from his teammate in the backcourt under the opponent's rebound. Zuo Lin grabbed the ball with one hand, then pressed the ball in his arms, holding it with both hands... Then, Zuo Lin glanced at the Red Team forward Ye Xun who was walking leisurely in the opponent's half and threw the ball far away.

The half-hour group match was simply Zuo Lin's performance. Zuo Lin's performance was not only tested by the opponent's 11 people, but also had to add several defenders on his side. Under the suggestion of Coach Xue, the captain of the youth team, and now the main central defender of the Red side, Shen Chi, gave two tricky "owns" in this short 30-minute group confrontation. This forced Zuo Lin to make a difficult move like jumping sideways. And these 30 minutes made everyone fully understand that Zuo Lin is probably a genius type.

However, Coach Xue frowned. He understood very well that with Zuo Lin's extraordinary understanding and ability in sports, even with his superhuman physical fitness, he would become a nightmare for his opponent after a little training. However, Zuo Lin chose the goalkeeper position. Perhaps for Zuo Lin himself, if he recognizes Zuo Lin's choice, it would undoubtedly waste Zuo Lin's ability in other aspects. However, for a club like Shen Bao, which has been troubled by the goalkeeper problem for many years and even makes the club's senior executives have no effect in any way, the desire for a good goalkeeper is beyond everything. Moreover, Zuo Lin can play a role directly without having to wait until he is familiar with football and the tactical style and tactical system of the entire team.

Coach Xue glanced at the same thoughtful assistant coach. The two of them looked at each other and suddenly realized that everyone was thinking the same thing. Coach Xue shouted: "Zuo Lin, come here."

"You have a good rest tonight, and don't participate in the morning training with everyone tomorrow morning. I ask the doctor in the team to arrange for you to have a physical examination and then conduct a systematic test on you..." Coach Xue patted Zuo Lin on the shoulder, "You will be a good goalkeeper."

The assistant coach took Zuo Lin to the player's dormitory and quickly arranged the basic things. At the same time, Coach Xue was contacting the club management.

The next day, there was nothing special about Zuo Lin's physical examination. Although Zuo Lin's physical fitness was better than his peers in all aspects, these data did not arouse anyone's surprise. However, the subsequent tests were all eagerly waiting for the results.

The test was conducted in a test center renovated in a warehouse in a corner of the training base. It is installed here, which may be unique in Asia, a system specifically targeting the limits of the goalkeeper. In the empty column-free space, a goal is installed on one side, and the ground is covered with plastic turf with soft and hard and real turf. White fluorescent paint draws a small penalty area line and a penalty area line on the plastic turf. On the turf, in the space between the small penalty area line and the penalty area line, there are a total of 14 football metering machines, of which 8 are fixed and 6 are installed on the guide rails. These metering machines are manufactured by the world's first-class training equipment manufacturer. Using compressed air as power, controllable rubber friction plates are installed in the guide rails where the ball is shot, so that the shot ball can have ball speeds ranging from 20 to 120 kilometers and various simple rotation forms.

"Zuo Lin, this is a test set that our club made last year. The test time is 15 minutes and 900 seconds. Within these 900 seconds, these serving opportunities shot 600 balls from different positions at different speeds, which is one ball in 1.5 seconds. Of course, this is just the average, and the time interval is not very stable. This system is to allow the goalkeeper to have no time to consider when he sees the ball. He can only respond with the results of his usual training and rely on the actions that have become instinctive. At the same time, there is no training, and the intensity of any game can be compared with this system. Our club is now the first team leader.

The goalkeeper scored 227 saves, of which 152 were saved in the first 7 minutes. The youth team, that is, our team, the three goalkeepers scored 199, 192, and 177 respectively. Don’t be psychologically stressed, this set of things is used to torture people. Your performance yesterday has already made me very satisfied. Today, the team’s head coach and several leaders of the club will watch in the monitoring room. If you perform well, then starting tomorrow, you will not be a member of the youth team, but a member of the first team of Shenbao Football Club. Starting this season, you will participate in the league with the team."

Coach Xue, with a serious expression, said something to tell Zuo Lin not to be nervous, but every word he said undoubtedly put pressure on Zuo Lin. That was exactly what he wanted to do. Coach Xue felt that what he needed to see was Zuo Lin's performance under pressure. For people like Zuo Lin, this premature test ended in failure, does not prove that Zuo Lin is not good. The only thing that can be proved is that Zuo Lin is still young. But Coach Xue did not expect that the words he put pressure on did not play any role. Zuo Lin is not a person who yearns for professional football. At best, he is just a teenager who is very interested in football as a sport.

Although the gate of professional football has been opened to Zuo Lin, just as he can easily enter this door, he can come out at any time in the future without hesitation without any regrets. Zuo Lin is not completely ignorant of professional football. Newspapers, TV and magazines, and his experiences when working at the training base have long allowed him to understand what a world of luxury and richness of professional football is. However, all this is meaningless to a druid. What a druid needs is nature, and only some supplies to keep himself alive. They are not without desires, but what they ask for is really insignificant for this world.

Standing in front of the goal, Zuo Lin carefully stepped on the artificial turf under his feet. The soft and even elasticity of the rubber material made Zuo Lin a little uncomfortable, and what he didn't get used to was that there was no fragrance of grass seeds or soil in his nose. Zuo Lin took a deep breath, pulled off his gloves and gestured to the monitoring room through the thick tempered glass on one side that he could start at any time.

The cold lights hanging on the ceiling are turned on one after another, and a paleness is permeated throughout the space. The cameras installed in every corner that are not favored by the lights quietly turn on, and the red dots indicating the recording status are lit up at the same time.

With the long buzzer, the serving machine on the left shot the first ball with a bang, marking the official start of the test.

Zuo Lin understood from the beginning that it is not difficult to catch the ball in this kind of test, but throwing the ball away after catching it is a meaningless act that wastes time. All saves should be simply and clearly shot. However, he still underestimated that the limit of this limit test is only where the speed of a ball in 1.5 seconds, coupled with the various uncluttered ball paths, makes the goal range so wide. Not only should each move be simple and clear, but you must also maintain your center of gravity while maintaining the save success. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, you need to consider the next ball and the next ball.

After the initial rush of a minute, Zuo Lin had adjusted his center of gravity. Although only 15 of 40 balls were saved in the first minute, the situation was getting better. As Zuo Lin gradually entered the situation, the people in the monitoring room were becoming more and more surprised by Zuo Lin's performance. Zuo Lin's movements were not standard at all, but as his body instinct was moving, Zuo Lin, who was tall and long legs, used his feet more than any goalkeeper. Not only because it was easier to stretch his legs to block the balls in the lower 3 routes during running, but also because it was not lost in this way. Zuo Lin's hands were more powerful in the future. Through the reinforced glass, they could hear the constant banging sounds of slapping in the space.

Zuo Lin performed better and better, and the goal seemed to have become Zuo Lin's field. He moved back and forth incredibly fast, and his batting movements could still match the rhythm of the movement as much as possible. Although the ball still fell into the net from time to time and slipped into the track of the recycling football, it would definitely not cover up Zuo Lin's light in front of the goal.

Yes, Light! Zuo Lin, who had already focused all his attention on this test, seemed to have physical strength to squander. He could run, pedal, fly, and twist on the artificial turf without any care. He didn't care how extraordinary these actions were in the eyes of those professionals in the monitoring room.

Any goalkeeper, or even any ordinary athlete, will collapse not only by physical fitness, but also by ankles. However, Zuo Lin did not show any signs of collapse.

The numbers on the counter were constantly jumping. Finally, when the 900-second timer was finished, Zuo Lin delivered an astonishing result. He saved 421 of 600 goals. This result was almost 200 more than a first-team goalkeeper who performed poorly but could basically meet the requirements of the league. Such performance, not to mention the low-level domestic league, even if it was placed in the world, it was absolutely extraordinary.

Zuo Lin can perform like this, although he is quick to react and strong muscles and bones, but more importantly, his physical fitness can withstand such a super high-intensity 15-minute test, and can keep himself in the best state from scratch. Even as Zuo Lin becomes familiar with the test environment and methods, he feels a little better. Indeed, everyone who has undergone the test needs a familiar process, the difference is that their physical fitness has collapsed before they get familiar with it.

As soon as the 15-minute test ended, Zuo Lin's tense nerves suddenly loosened, and he suddenly lay down on the artificial turf. His chest was undulating, and his heavy breathing sound echoed in the empty space. It was so exciting, Zuo Lin thought to himself. He didn't care how much his performance exceeded that of someone else, and how much better than others. He was able to devote himself to this test, so he didn't have the time to care about other people's affairs. "Maybe he should come and play with this often," Zuo Lin thought to himself.

"Coach Xue, who is responsible for Zuo Lin's contract?" In the monitoring room, the club's general manager Cheng Yi asked. He didn't have to ask the head coach what he meant. What he now thought was to implement the matter of letting Zuo Lin join the team and enter the league as soon as possible.

"Zuo Lin was recommended by Mr. Yan. I agree to let Zuo Lin train with the team. As for the contract, it seems that it has not been signed yet. Mr. Yan asked his secretary to leave a contact information. I think you will ask me if you personally." Coach Xue naturally understood the general manager's current thoughts. If the contract issue is not implemented, it would be useless if Zuo Lin's performance is extreme.

"Well, I'll arrange this. Coach Xue, you arrange for the physiotherapy room to apply cold compresses to Zuo Lin's knees, ankles, shoulders, and wrists to eliminate test fatigue as soon as possible... The day after tomorrow, the first team will have to train with the first team on the day they return to the base. The league will start two weeks, and this time we can give all our old opponents a surprise."

The head coach Luo Xianjie, who was thinking about it, didn't know what he was thinking about, perhaps because of whether the newly joined strong goalkeeper would cause relationship problems in the team, or perhaps because of how to allocate the strength on the court after having such a goalkeeper... Luo Xianjie nodded after seeing the general manager's gaze, and said, "No problem, if there is such a goalkeeper, I will solve other problems."

Suddenly, Zuo Lin was originally a little optimistic about by Coach Xue and became a secret weapon for the club to compete in the new season, and his treatment for Zuo Lin became special. Naturally, Zuo Lin did not need to participate in the training of the youth team. After enjoying a specially arranged nutritional meal, Zuo Lin was asked to go back to the dormitory to rest and recover his physical fitness as soon as possible. Even though Zuo Lin didn't feel tired at all at this time. His mind was full of excitement and reverence just now, full of excitement and reverence. He was still secretly guessing when to ask Coach Xue to let him go to the test center to play again. Well, once is absolutely not enough. Before being able to save all the balls, the test center should be opened to him at any time.

After lying on the bed that was so soft that Zuo Lin was uncomfortable for a while, Zuo Lin turned over and ran to the utility room to drag out the pipes and other tools. Just like he had done every day in the past few months, watering and trimming the spare turf...
