Non-mainstream goalkeeper

"Zhang! Here."

As soon as Zhang San reached the door, he heard someone calling his name.

Mendes was already waiting for him inside the door. After some politeness, the two sat down in the box.

"Zhang, I called you here today for three reasons.

"First, after the last game, several teams asked me for your offer, but I rejected them. I hope you can maintain your good form in the next game. If you can keep Barcelona scoreless, I guarantee that your value will increase by several million euros!"

"Second, several sports drinks and carbonated soda companies have come to consult you about endorsements, and among them, Pepsi and Coca-Cola have the highest contracts. Coca-Cola proposed a three-year contract, 1.2 million US dollars per year. Pepsi is 1.5 million US dollars for a four-year contract."

"Third, there are several car and sports brands....They all came to consult and waited and watched, so the price was not high, and I rejected them all."

"Among all the applications so far, the highest price is that Durex condoms under Reckitt Benckiser Group wants you to be the spokesperson, with a total price of 8 million US dollars and a 5-year contract....In the end, it's up to you to decide."

Listening to Mendes' introduction, Zhang San was a little entangled.

Seeing Zhang San's state, Mendes continued:"Zhang, if you have confidence in yourself, I suggest you don't rush to endorse. I have already communicated with the club president about Atletico Madrid. As long as you perform stably, you will always stay in the starting position."

Zhang San nodded:"Thank you, Mr. Mendes! I have no intention of transferring at the moment. The relevant endorsement is indeed a bit low, which is a bit ironic for me. I'd better wait until I participate in a few more games before talking about it."

"Okay! Now that we have finished talking about the main topic, let's talk about something off topic~" Mendes raised his glass,"Zhang! What do you think of Spanish football?"

"Not bad, I feel like it's already world-class." Zhang San couldn't figure out what Mendes meant.

"Haha, there is a place with a better football atmosphere than here!"

"U.K?"

"No, it's Portugal! Actually......"

After a conversation, Zhang San was confused and didn't understand what Mendes meant.

-------------------------------------

On the training ground, the players greeted Zhang San one after another. After the last match, everyone was convinced of Zhang San's performance.

"Zhang! Next time we play against MSN! Are you sure? Don't let too many goals go in~" Cork teased Zhang San in front of everyone.

"It’s just a small matter. I’m more afraid that you won’t be able to score a goal~" Zhang San joked

"Hahaha~ Let's make a bet!" Griezmann jumped out.

The three of them discussed that if Zhang San kept a clean sheet in the next game, Griezmann and Koke would have to run a marathon regardless of whether they could break through Barcelona's goal.

Otherwise, Zhang San would run.

While everyone was joking, Wang Wu came in from the small door with a box in his hand.

Since Zhang San couldn't drive yet, Wang Wu was currently acting as Zhang San's personal assistant and driver.

Zhang San reached out to take something out of the box, and boxes of"Rolex Green Submariner" with Zhang San's name on the packaging were placed in front of everyone.

""I'll give you a little something for your consideration~" Zhang San said to everyone. He spent all the money he won in the casino this time on gifts.

He was most afraid of friends' sudden concern. Everyone didn't understand why Zhang San gave gifts, but they were still very happy.

Even the club staff had gifts, but it was just another brand.

Through this incident, the club's recognition of Zhang San soared.

(Oblak: You can't afford it, right! wdnmd!)

Goalkeeper coach Pablo excitedly threw the data book in front of Simeone!

Zhang San, 25 years old.

191cm, 85kg, dominant right foot.

Top of the Spanish Second Division: Grabbing the ball La Liga: Clearing, passing, receiving the ball, injury resistance, body control, speed, foot strength, physical strength, coverage area (position), burst, free kick, physical confrontation, dribbling

La Liga top: hand throws, bounce, save, awareness

World class: save reaction

Simeone was shocked. He had grown so fast in just one year.

Especially in terms of ball control, hand throws, physical confrontation, etc., he had surpassed most goalkeepers in La Liga.

With the report in hand, Simeone made up his mind to keep Zhang San!

"Everyone! Divide into teams and prepare for the training match!"......

At this moment, in the Barcelona training ground, the whole team was conducting tactical drills.

Alves said to everyone:"Atletico Madrid has a new goalkeeper this year! In the last game, they shut out Sevilla and made 9 effective saves!"

"That's because they are too weak, giving the other side so many chances to shoot!" Pique said with disdain,"If Marc (Ter Stegen) goes, he will be much better than him!"

"That's it!" Bartra echoed,"We will win next time!"

Interestingly, when Messi heard about this, he was very interested and immediately told the assistant coach next to him to prepare the video of Zhang San's save last season.

Suarez and Neymar were also curious about this, and the three of them went to the media room to watch the video materials together......

In the training room, Zhang San is still tirelessly honing his muscles. For a long time, Zhang San has been working on muscle building and has gained 7 kg.

Feeling the strength in himself, Zhang San is more confident about the next game, confident that no defender can beat him.

September 11, press conference the day before Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona

"Coach Simeone, have you thought about how to deal with MSN's offensive line?" a reporter from Catalonia asked

"We respect every opponent and will not deliberately target any player!"

"The match against Barcelona is the first strong match in La Liga this season. Although your substitute goalkeeper Zhang San performed well, the opponent has the strongest offensive line in Europe after all. Will you still choose Zhang San to start?"The reporter of Barca is still sweet-mouthed but sharp-hearted.

"I have to correct you, Zhang San is currently our team's starting goalkeeper, now and in the future!" Simeone looked at the press box with a stern look.

"Do you think Zhang San's ability is enough to crush..."

Before the reporter could finish his words, he was interrupted,"Wait, you are not here to cause trouble? Are you a reporter or a dock worker?@#￥%……&*"Simeone started to swear.

The staff on the sidelines quickly pulled him away and the press conference was interrupted.

On the other side, Barcelona coach Enrique proudly said in an interview:"Atletico Madrid is very strong, but we are stronger. Even if we are away, we will play as if we are at home! As for goals, it depends on what kind of answers our players will give!"

Pique then posted an animated picture on social media: several people wearing Barcelona jerseys stood in front of the goal and shot wildly, and the goalkeeper was trembling in the corner. And attached the text: We are the European champions~~

Several Spanish teammates liked it, which caused quite a stir on social media.
