He s a sophomore. He said the yellow card was worth it.

On the evening of October 8, a high-energy scene was staged at the 2025 Chongqing City Football Super League (Chongqing Super League): Zhao Zhitian, the post-2000 college student goalkeeper of Wansheng Black Valley Team, abandoned the goal in the 99th minute of the game and scored with a header from a corner kick, helping the team draw 3-3 with Fuling Sinopharm Taiji Team. This goal not only made the commentator roar with excitement, but also made the Wenzhou University sophomore "famous overnight." After the game, Zhao Zhitian said frankly that this was the first time he had scored a key goal in an official game, and it was "worth it" to take off his clothes to celebrate and receive a yellow card, and attributed the credit to the coach's trust and team unity.

The goalkeeper abandoned the goal and charged, leading to a perfect tie in the 99th minute.

"Wow - wow - the goalkeeper scored! This is definitely the most exciting goal in this round of the Chongqing Super League!" On the evening of October 8, the commentary at the home court of the Fuling Sinopharm Taiji Team almost lifted the roof of the stadium. At the focus of the camera, Wansheng Black Valley goalkeeper Zhao Zhitian was kneeling on the grass, tightly surrounded by his teammates - just a few seconds ago, the 1.88-meter-tall post-00 generation had just used a powerful header to rewrite the score to 3-3.

The game entered the 9th minute of stoppage time in the second half, and the Wansheng team was still trailing 2-3. When his teammates won a corner kick in the frontcourt, Zhao Zhitian, who was supposed to be guarding the goal line, suddenly ran towards the penalty area. "The only thought in my mind at that time was: fight!" Zhao Zhitian, who was returning to Wenzhou from Chongqing on October 9, could not hide his excitement when recalling the scene at that time. "There is no difference between losing one goal and losing two goals. It is better to go up and give it a try." The moment the corner kick was taken, Zhao Zhitian squeezed away the defensive players, jumped high to meet the ball, and accurately touched the ball with his forehead, and the football hit the dead center of the goal. "I didn't react when I landed. It wasn't until my teammates rushed over to hug me that I could believe that I had actually scored!" He said with a smile. He was so excited at the time that he subconsciously took off his jersey and waved it. The yellow card the referee then took out made him feel "even more enthusiastic. This card is worth it!"

This absolutely equal goal made the game that was originally in despair completely boiling over. The fans at the scene held up their mobile phones to record the whole process. On social media, the topic "Chongqing Super League goalkeeper is absolutely tied" quickly fermented. Some Chongqing fans commented: "The ups and downs of this game are so exciting, more exciting than movies! This ball can be selected for this book." The best in the round."

Zhejiang Super League players "rushed to help across regions" and counterattacked after a disastrous defeat in the first game.

Few people know that this goalkeeper who created miracles in the Chongqing Super League is actually a "temporary help" wild card player. Zhao Zhitian is a sophomore at the School of Physical Education and Health of Wenzhou University. He usually plays in the Zhejiang Provincial Football Super League (Zhejiang Super League). This time he joined the Wansheng team because of an "invitation" from his teammates.

"The 'Bao Team' (big brother) in the team knew that I wanted to play more games and practice, so he asked me if I wanted to come to the Chongqing Super League to try." Zhao Zhitian said that this was his first time coming to Chongqing and his first time participating in an inter-provincial league. When he first came to the team, he also experienced a "disgrace" - in the first game, the team lost 0 to 4 to the Changshou team. "It was quite frustrating at the time, but the teammates didn't complain about each other. The coach even talked to me specifically and said, 'Just play, your ability is fine.'"

It was this team atmosphere that strengthened his determination to "play well in subsequent games." In order to balance studies and competitions, Zhao Zhitian specially adjusted his course schedule. He took leave in advance one week before the competition and flew from Wenzhou to Chongqing to practice together. "In normal training, I mainly practice goalkeeping, and I also practice backcourt defense for set pieces. I have never tried to rush to the frontcourt to attack." He said frankly that the winning goal on the evening of the 8th was half a "spurious idea" and half "the courage given by the coach." "At that time, I was staring at the corner kick opportunity and was thinking about how to tell the defender, 'I want to go up.' But the coaching staff waved directly at me and told me to rush up." Zhao Zhitian said that the coach's trust gave him the confidence, "When he ran into the penalty area, his teammates were very special He made room for me. This goal was scored because of everyone's hard work."

"The goal is the credit of the whole team, and we have to work harder in the next game."

Zhao Zhitian became the "Focus of the Chongqing Super League" overnight, but he was particularly sober. Facing fans' praise of "the best goal of the round," he repeatedly emphasized: "This is not my fault alone. Without my teammates to withstand the pressure in front and the coach's decisive decision-making, I would have no chance to rush to the frontcourt."

On the football field of Wenzhou University, Zhao Zhitian has always been an "all-round player" - he played as a forward in high school and entered college. Later, because the team needed to transform into a goalkeeper, "I want to do my best no matter which position I play." This equalizer was "the most meaningful goal" in his football career: "I have scored goals before, but it was when I was leading 9-0, and there was no pressure. This time is different. I equalized in a desperate situation. The sense of accomplishment is incomparable."

At the moment, Zhao Zhitian has returned to Wenzhou and resumed his studies and the Zhejiang Super League, but his experience in the Chongqing Super League has given him more expectations: "If the team still needs me later, as long as the time can be coordinated, I will definitely come back!" He also quietly set a small goal for himself: "Next time we encounter such a key goal, try not to get a yellow card - of course, if I can still score, I will recognize the yellow card! "

Wansheng Economic Development Zone Football Association staff also praised the post-00 generation: "Although he is young, he has a stable mentality and dares to fight. This goal not only saved the game, but also ignited the team's fighting spirit. We will continue to pay attention to him in the future and hope that he can shine in more games."
