Chapter 58 Shaheen's Replacement
During the training the next day, even Barrios came to find Zhou Yi: "Witch, wizard. Do you have time tonight?"
"I'm not available. Lucas. But if you want to introduce your agent to me, then you won't need it." Zhou Yi smiled and rejected Barrios.
"Ah? Why?" Barrios hadn't reacted yet.
"Because I already have an agent." Zhou Yi said.
"So fast?" Barrios was surprised. "Didn't you meet them yesterday?"
"Yes, Lucas. I'm such a straightforward person! Sorry, you're late, it's your agent who's late."
Barrios had no choice but to congratulate Zhou Yi.
Then people kept coming to Zhou Yi, and they obviously came to be lobbyists for their agents. But Zhou Yi used the same reason to defeat them.
Everyone was surprised at first, and then they congratulated each other.
No matter what, if Zhou Yi finds an agent, he can concentrate on playing football. If an agent is concerned about things other than football, he will worry about it.
After the training in the afternoon, Zhou Yi once again signed a number of fans outside the training base. Finally, he saw Shurce waiting on the roadside.
"I'm so happy to see you, Mr. Shulce." Zhou Yi took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party.
Schultzer shook his head: "You should call me Tino, my friends call me that. Sir, it sounds too formal."
Zhou Yi agreed: "That's right. When I was a child, my mother always called me nickname, but if she called me daming, I would know that I would be beaten."
"Haha!" Shultze laughed.
"So, let's find a place to eat?" Zhou Yi suggested on his own initiative.
"Okay. I also brought the contract. Look, if there is no problem, you can sign the contract."
"Okay. Want to see?"
In the restaurant, after dinner, Zhou Yi put Shulce's contract on the dining table and looked at it.
In fact, he couldn't quite understand it, so he read it roughly. He mainly looked at the commission Shultze received from him, and now the ratio was the same as what he knew, so he didn't need to read the following. He combined the contract text: "No problem."
"You finished reading it so soon?" Shulce was a little surprised. He spent the whole day working on the contract text today.
"Actually, I haven't finished watching it, but I believe you. Tino. There's nothing good about it." Zhou Yi said.
"But that's the case"
"Tino, if I could see the contract myself, why would I have an agent? So I will leave everything to you when I see the contract in the future."
"Uh" Shulce found that Zhou Yi's words were so reasonable that he was speechless.
"So sign." Zhou Yi took out Montblanc's pen from his pocket, which was the "meritorious" pen that signed the youth team contract and professional contract for him.
"You still carry a pen with you?" Shultze was surprised.
"I just knew I would definitely sign a contract today." Zhou Yi said. He unscrewed the cap and signed his own name on the contract, as if he was signing a contract in a hotel.
After Zhou Yi signed, Shurtze also took out a pen to sign his name on the contract.
In this way, Tino Schultze officially became Zhou Yi's legal agent.
The first thing Shurtze, who became Zhou Yi's agent, proposed was that he hoped that Zhou Yi would authorize him to negotiate a new contract with the club.
"Your previous professional contract was signed for eight years, and you were too determined, Zhou Yi. A talented player like you is already eighteen years old, and signing an eight-year contract is not good for you. Although we are not saying that you must transfer to Dortmund. But a four-to-six-year contract is reasonable, and an eight-year contract is too long."
"I know. Tino. But at that time I thought I could definitely play it out, and if I played it out, I could change the contract. Could it be that the club would not change it for me?"
"Generally speaking, it will not be replaced, but you have to consider all possibilities before signing. What if your relationship with the club deteriorates during this period? What is the negotiation before signing the contract? On the one hand, it is to strive for the greatest benefit for yourself, and on the other hand, it is to avoid leaving such safety hazards in the contract."
Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly when Shulce said: "Well, Tino, you are professional, just do it. And I will concentrate on playing well so that you can be more confident when talking to the club."
"That's it, we will be the best partner!" Shulzer clapped his hands.
"So come on. Cheers for the best partner!" Zhou Yi raised the cup containing juice.
Shultze picked up his wine glass: "Cheers!"
Volk Struss received feedback from Gotze that night that Zhou Yi had found the agent.
"Have he decided who it was?" Struth was surprised. When he heard Zhou Yi say he had to consider it, he thought he would have to think for a week. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi made a decision in just one day! "Did he say who it is?"
"I didn't say that."
"Well, okay, thank you, Mario."
"It's okay, Volk. I'm sorry I didn't help."
"After all, it depends on his personal wishes." Struce said, "Although I feel a little regretful to miss him, there is nothing I can do. Let's do it."
Struth just gave up the idea of becoming a Zhouyi agent.
But he would never have thought of this time. It won't take long before he would see Zhou Yi's name again in the company's email.
When Zhou Yi was still dealing with the choice among his agents, Klopp had to face a very serious problem.
After Shahin arrived in Dortmund, it was found that his right toe bone was fractured in a longitudinal shape, which was shoveled by Hoffenheim player Maksuel. But the good news is that the phalanx did not displace, so he didn't need to rest for a long time. But in this way, he would have to rest for at least three weeks.
The final matches of the first half of the Bundesliga have basically been during this period.
What results can be achieved in the final half of the Dortmund League depends on the performance in the past three weeks.
Who will replace Shahin during the period when he was absent due to injury?
Now Klopp has a ready-made candidate, that is Zhou Yi, who performed well in the last game.
But he was a little worried.
After all, the appearance of the substitute and appearance are two completely different feelings, and there are also different requirements for the players.
Moreover, it is hard to say how long Zhou Yi's physical fitness can last after appearing.
There is another problem. He can still play a surprise role when he comes on as a substitute. However, after his outstanding performance in the last game, his opponent will definitely increase his guard against him. If both sides have excellent physical fitness, his advantage may not be obvious.
So, do you still want to let him appear?
Klopp told his question to assistant coach Buvac.
After hearing this, Buvac was surprised: "I thought you believed that boy unconditionally, Jurgen. So you would also consider so much?"
“Isn’t this normal?”
"But I think you're overthinking, Jurgen," said Bouvage. "First, Zhou Yi has only played for more than twenty minutes on the bench. This time is not enough for opponents to pay too much attention to him. People will think that this kid's performance is lucky, after all, he is a substitute. Secondly, are you planning to let Zhou Yi sit on the bench and let him play if we can't open the situation?"
Klopp nodded.
"Then why do we have to put our team in a bad situation? Why don't we let Zhou Yi appear at the beginning and create a situation that is beneficial to us?"
Klopp looked at Buvac and suddenly thought of something: "Gerliko, when did you become a supporter of Zhou Yi?"
Buvac smiled: "He impressed me in his performance in the last game. Everyone said that Shahin is a genius, but Shahin did not play so stunningly in his first appearance in the league. It is said that Gotze is a genius we have cultivated every thirty years, but you remember what Gotze is like when he debuted in the league for the first time, right?"
Klopp nodded: "Anyway, you are a fan of Zhou Yi now, right?"
Buvac smiled embarrassedly: "That's right, I'm a fan of Zhou Yi!"
Klopp made a "shhh" gesture: "Then don't tell him, so that the boy will not be proud."
Before the 15th round of the league with Nuremberg, Klopp announced the 18-man roster.
Zhou Yi was selected without any suspense.
Even being selected for the roster is no longer something Zhou Yi should consider. What he should consider now is whether he will appear as a substitute in this game.
Even when he called his father to inform him about this, his father Zhou Jianliang asked "?"
"I don't know, Dad, Klopp's habit is announced before the game begins." Zhou Yi said.
"But Shahin is injured"
"Well, Dad, Shahin is injured and I have no direct contact."
"Okay, but you will definitely play in this game!" Zhou Jianliang said at the end. "Anyway, I have been standing in front of the TV since the beginning of the game. I can see you no matter when you appear!"
"Then I'll try to let you wait a little less, Dad."
"Well, I'm so filial!" (To be continued.)
