Chapter 3 I'm Really a Player(1/2)
Zhou Yi rented a house and went out alone the next day to get to know the surrounding environment.
Although the town of Krapur is not big, although the sparrow is small and has all the facilities that should be available, there are all banks, police stations, post offices, hospitals, supermarkets, taverns and restaurants... all available.
Most importantly, Zhou Yi found an open park with three football fields near the house he rented.
The football field is natural turf and is open to the public for free 24 hours a day.
Zhou Yi went up and ran. It felt that although it was free, the turf was still well maintained. Although it was not as good as the turf in the Dortmund training base, it was enough for him.
With such a football field, there will be a place to practice after Zhou Yi.
After getting familiar with the surrounding situation, it was on July 2nd.
This day was the day when Dortmund's first team gathered at Bracker Training Base.
Zhou Yi was wearing a sportswear, a backpack, and a baseball cap from the Tymond club. Cortana, who was also going out to school, sarcastically said: "You wear this outfit to train? Are you not afraid of being blocked by the security guard as a fan?"
"How is that possible?" Zhou Yi said, "I am famous. Will the security guard know me? Only people like you who don't watch football will think so."
Cortana curled her lips: "Then I wish you good luck, a big star."
"Thank you auspicious words." Zhou Yi turned to her and smiled at her.

From the place where Zhou Yi lives to the training base, if you take the bus, it will be about two stops away.
But Zhou Yi decided to run, which was also an opportunity to exercise his physical fitness. Zhou Yi didn't want to waste it easily.
His biggest problem now is his physical fitness. Zhou Yi cannot meet the low-end requirement of just being able to play 90 minutes of games.
Standing on the court for 90 minutes can be considered as playing the whole game, but what's the point?
Zhou Yi is very clear that his football style needs to be running non-stop, and only in this way can he show efficiency. If he can only run the half-time game on the court and be powerless for the remaining forty-five minutes, then for him, he will not be considered as physically qualified.
The physical fitness coach may just start from the most basic physical fitness needs and think he is already OK.
But Zhouyi must have higher requirements in order to make progress.
Zhou Yi knew this very clearly.
Zhou Yi, carrying a bag, kept changing speed on the sidewalk and running towards the training base.
When he was approaching the training base, he found that there were many cars on the roadside. Some people kept passing him and sprinting towards the gate of the training base. These people were either holding cameras or star posters, wearing Dortmund players' jerseys.
Zhou Yi looked at them and this scene was something he had never seen before when he played for the youth team.
He also experienced a training camp when he was in the youth team and a winter break.
But the gate of the youth team is much deserted, and the most frequent travels are the cars of parents who send their children to participate in training. There is no media or fans.
There are three gates in the Bracker training base, of which the north gate has not been opened for a long time, while the east gate and the west gate are used by the first team and the youth team respectively. Everyone walks their own ways and does not interfere with each other.
Before leaving, Zhou Yi received a call from Mark. During the call, Mark reminded him not to go to the West Gate as usual, which was the gate for youth team players to enter and exit.
Zhou Yi was very grateful to Mark for calling him to tell him this because he really planned to go to Ximen before...
Finally there was no joke.
When we were about to reach the east gate of the training base, there were already a lot of people on the sidewalk. It was so blocked that Zhou Yi was difficult to leave, let alone run away.
He had to squeeze forward while saying "Give it a minute".
On the road beside him, cars drove by one after another, slowed down slightly at the gate, and then entered the training base.
And the fans will cheer.
"Insider! Insider!!"
"Matz! Welcome back! Dortmund is your home!"
"Kuba! Come on this season too!"
So Zhou Yi knew that those cars were all first-team stars, that is, his future teammates.
Regarding these teammates of his, although Zhou Yi has trained with them in the virtual world for several days in advance, he is still looking forward to meeting them in reality.
After all, the teammates in the virtual world only have numbers and appearances, and have no personality. They are real robots.
At the same time, this scene also made Zhou Yi look forward to it. It won’t be long before his name would appear amid the cheers of these people.
By then...
"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! I want to give birth to you!!"
It's so wonderful!
Zhou Yi fantasized that he finally squeezed to the gate, and a car was about to come in. The gate opened and the car drove in, and Zhou Yi was also planning to walk in.
But at this moment, he was stopped by the security guard at the door: "Hi, hey!"
Zhou Yi raised his head blankly and looked at the other person.
"Fans are not allowed to enter," the middle-aged security guard said to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was still in a daze.
After seeing Zhou Yi's face and expression, the other party frowned and turned to the security booth for help: "Does anyone of you speak Japanese, Korean or... other Asian?"
The two partners in the security booth spread their hands: "What's wrong?"
"There is an Asian fan who wants to break into the training base, but he doesn't understand what I said..." said the middle-aged security guard pointing to Zhou Yi.
At this moment, Zhou Yi finally reacted and said to the security guard: "No, sir, I am not a fan, I am a player."
The middle-aged security guard laughed when he heard Zhou Yi's defense: "You can speak German? That's easy to do. I know that you fans can think of any way to enter the training base, but pretending to be players... is really creative, although it's very stupid."
Zhou Yi's mind came to what Cortana said to herself before going out, "You are not afraid of being blocked by the security guard as a fan"...
This crow's mouth!
"I'm really a player!" Zhou Yi hurriedly explained. "I came here to report for training."
The middle-aged security guard laughed: "If you are a player, I am Klopp!"
At this moment, the fans behind him shouted: "Mario--!"
As soon as Zhou Yi turned his head, a car drove past him.
"That's Mario Gotze, I know him! Hey! Mario--!" he shouted at the car.
The security guard smiled and said nothing: "How fresh, everyone here knows Mario. Are they all players?" He pointed at the fans.
※※※
Gotze, who was sitting in the car, suddenly turned his head outside: "I seem to hear someone calling me..."
"There were indeed many people calling you, Mario, just now." said the driving father.
"No, not that, it's a somewhat familiar voice..." Gotze frowned.
"Don't think about that, Mario. This is your second time to come to the first team. This time I will stay in the first team. By the way, there is another person in the youth team who will be transferred to the first team with you, right?"
"Well, Zhou Yi." Gece said.
"Yes, you two need to help each other."
"Don't worry, dad."
※※※
Zhou Yi didn't know how to prove his real player to this security guard. He couldn't take out any certificate like he took out his student ID during a reality show. Dortmund players would not have a player certificate.
The first-team security guard obviously didn't understand the youth team either.
When the security guard saw where Zhou Yi was, he looked at his Eastern Kong Kong and suddenly felt that this person was very pitiful. He must have traveled all the way from his country to Germany just to take a look at the players of his beloved team. The security guard himself is also a Dortmund fan, so he naturally understands the fans' mentality.
So he softened his breath and said to Zhou Yi: "I understand you too, young man. But this is my job. If you can't go in, you can't go in. Okay... whose signature do you want? I can ask for one for you, but don't think about going in anymore... Today is not an open day."
Zhou Yi was so "understanding" that he was really crying.
The stalemate between Zhou Yi and the security guard also attracted the attention of some fans and media. Everyone looked at curiously and immediately understood what was going on.
There is a fan who doesn't understand the rules and wants to break into the training base... Should he say he is bold or stupid?
Some media pointed the camera and camera lens at Zhou Yi. On the first day of Dortmund's first team registration, such a thing happened, which was an interesting little episode...
At this moment, an Audi off-road vehicle parked at the gate and waited for the gate to open.
"Big Cross! Big Cross! Welcome home, Big Cross!!"
The fans onlookers shouted excitedly.
The people in the car waved to them and noticed the situation on Zhou Yi's side. He leaned out and asked, "What's going on?"
When the security guard saw him, his attitude was different. He smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "This child must say that he is a Dortmund player and wants to go in..."
"I'm really a player!" Zhou Yi turned around and said to this slightly tough future teammate, "And I know you, Kevin, Kevin Groskreuz."
Groskreutz, who was in the car, grinned and said to the security guard: "He is right, he is indeed a player."
Now it was the security guard's turn to be surprised, and Zhou Yi was also a little surprised - Groskreuz knew about him?
"Get in the car, boy!" Groskreuz shook his head and said to Zhou Yi.
