Chapter 32: Youth of Vitality

Zhou Yi is a very action-oriented person, and he does whatever he wants. He dialed Shuerce in the car with the car Bluetooth phone. After explaining the matter clearly, Shuerce was also happy to meet Yan Min. Although he didn't know what Yan Min was, since he was able to join Dortmund and was recommended by Zhou Yi, it means that Yan Min is not a mediocre person.

Shurtze himself has always been very interested in developing the Chinese market, but he only has Zhou Yi on hand now. Although Zhou Yi is the most influential star in China, Zhou Yi is alone and can't kill all the opportunities in the Chinese market, right?

So he really needs more Chinese players to be represented by him.

At this time, Zhou Yi recommended Yan Min, who had just joined the team, and Shurtze was very happy.

At noon, he met Yan Min at the agreed restaurant.

After some greetings and politeness, the two of them quickly got to the point.

Zhou Yi was having a meal next to him and listened, but did not express his opinion - this is Yan Min's choice of agent and Shulce's choice of players. It is their affairs with each other and it has nothing to do with him. He is responsible for introducing the two people together, and he cannot control the rest. After all, he has to make his own decisions and what others say is responsible. If Yan Min listens to his advice, considers his relationship with Shulce, and agrees to let Shulce become an agent, but in the end he actually gets along, what should he do? Whose responsibility is?

Moreover, everyone’s needs are different. Yan Min himself knows the needs of them, and it is unsuccessful for others to interrupt.

As for language communication issues, Zhou Yi was not worried. Shuerce also put in some hard work in order to open up the Chinese market - he specially went to the class to learn Chinese, and asked Zhou Yi to work part-time oral training subjects to conduct oral and listening training with him. Although he was not very skilled in reading and writing, there was no problem with listening and speaking.

Zhou Yi listened next to him. Yan Min was a person with his own opinions, but his requirements were actually not too high. At least, it was not high compared to himself at the beginning.

He has little requirements for personal brand operation, development and maintenance, and only requires that he cannot do things that damage his personal image.

This requirement is very simple for Schultze to satisfy.

After only half a meal, the two sides reached an agreement after fully understanding each other's demands - Yan Min was willing to let Shurce be his agent.

After reaching an agreement, Shurtze took out the prepared contract from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Yan Min, and asked him to see it. If he had no objection, he could sign it.

Yan Min took it over and looked at it, and raised his head in surprise - because the contract was actually written in Chinese.

"Prepare in advance, afraid that English is difficult to understand." Schultze smiled.

Yan Min read it and handed it to Zhou Yi again, wanting Zhou Yi to help him see it. This was the first time he took the initiative to ask Zhou Yi for help during the negotiations today.

Zhou Yi did not refuse—when others didn’t ask him to help, he would not take the initiative to help, and he would not refuse when he asked for help. He took it and took it over and saw it, Zhou Yi returned the contract to Yan Min, and then told him: "No problem, Tino can trust this."

Next, both parties signed the contract, which was considered to have completed the signing.

From this moment on, Shulce officially became Yan Min's agent.

Zhou Yi raised his wine glass and said to the two of you: "Come on, have a drink, for this cooperation."

The three wine glasses collided gently, making a crisp sound.

Although he has an agent, the most important role of the agent will not be reflected immediately in a new player who has never represented Dortmund in the game. At present, Schultze mainly helps Yan Min find a place to live - he can't always stay in a hotel. In addition, he arranges a German teacher for him so that Yan Min can learn some German as soon as possible so that he can communicate with his teammates and coaches.

Although football is a common language, if the language is not clear, it will still affect the player's life to a large extent. If life is not done well, it will also affect the performance on the final court. After all, players are also people and they must live like normal people.

Shulce cannot bring Yan Min any new contract now, nor can he find a sponsorship for him. All he can do is just some small things in life services.

Not all agents do this, and some agents charge extra fees for doing this. But if the agent gets along well with the players, they will also provide this kind of service to the players for free.

For Yan Min, what is more important than life is to quickly integrate into the new team, not only into the locker room, but also into the team's tactical system.

In fact, Yan Min was still quite fast in the locker room. On the one hand, he was a compatriot of Zhou Yi, and everyone was willing to give this compatriot of Zhou Yi to kindly treat him.

On the other hand, Yan Min came to Dortmund because he fully demonstrated his ability in the game against Dortmund. He was the most threatening player in Chongming in that game. He made Dortmund players feel embarrassed. Although they are all members of the Dortmund youth team and second-tier team, they are all elites in the youth team. Otherwise, Klopp would not have been transferred to the first team for training...

Football is a world where strength is important. If you have strength, you can win respect. If you don’t have strength, even if others respect you on the surface, they actually don’t agree with it in their hearts.

Yan Min happened to prove his ability in the right way at a suitable opportunity, won the favor of Dortmund Club, and naturally won the respect of his new teammates.

However, Yan Min knew very well that he could not conquer the coach with his performance in this warm-up match and allow him to get a stable chance at Dortmund. Now let alone a stable chance, it is hard to say whether he has a chance to play.

He also knew that he and Zhou Yi were both Chinese and could not bring him any benefits - Zhou Yi could not decide the head coach's opinion, right? He could not arrange Yan Min to appear directly, right?

So everything depends on Yan Min himself. He must train and study harder than in Shanghai and face more fierce competition.

From the first day he came to the Dortmund club, he devoted 200% of his training - not 20%, but 200%.

This was naturally seen by Dortmund's coaches.

When the coaching team communicates privately, they will mention the young Chinese who just arrived.

And it not only attracted the attention of the coaches, but even his teammates were surprised by the mental state Yan Min showed during training.

Yan Min was very, very serious when training, and he would constantly use his voice to express some content, although it was all in Chinese.

Everyone didn't understand, so they asked Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi answered his teammates' doubts with a strange expression: "He was shouting 'OK', 'Yes', 'No problem'... and so on."

"That's all?" The teammates didn't believe it.

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "Are you authoritative in understanding what the Chinese say, or am I authoritative?"

The teammates who were puzzled before quickly said that Zhou Yi was an authority, but they were even more surprised by the significance of Yan Min doing this. This seemed a bit stupid and could not help him train better. Why did he do this?

Zhou Yi shrugged: "How can I know? Maybe this is a way for others to motivate themselves? Don't worry, anyway, you can't understand what he is calling..."

But within a few days, everyone could hear Yan Min shouting out the German version of "Okay", "Yes!" and "No problem"...

Zhou Yi thought that this kid learned German quite quickly. And seeing how dare he pronounce, he probably mastered his oral language very quickly. Those who learn language know that it is the most important thing to dare to say it. When Chinese people were students, they learned a lot of mute English because many Chinese students did not dare to say it, for fear of making mistakes, for being weird pronunciations, and for being laughed at.

However, Zhou Yi didn't see any of these "fears" in Yan Min.

I'm afraid he is not only not afraid of being laughed at by mistake in pronunciation, but he is also not afraid of anything else?

For example, football...

"Yan Min, you don't have to answer me so loudly..." Assistant coach Buvac said to Yan Min.

"Yes! No problem, coach!" Yan Min immediately responded to him with super loud and enthusiastic German.

Bouvac heard a burst of laughter from his colleagues behind him.

Look at the Chinese boy in front of him again. He didn't seem to understand what the other coaches were laughing at, and continued to look at Buvac with a serious look on his face.

Buvac had no choice but to wave his hand: "Go and train..."

"Yes, coach!" Yan Min responded with great vitality and then turned around and ran away.

Returning to his colleagues, Buvac complained: "Did that kid be a soldier before? When I watch a movie, when I join the soldier, I need to answer every word from the officer loudly..."

"Gerlico, you can't have watched Chinese movies, right? So you've watched all the films in Hollywood. What you said about American soldiers, maybe the Chinese soldiers don't do that?" someone in the coach joked.

"But Yan Min is really a freak. I think Chinese people are like Zhou Yi..."

"Hi, don't Germans also have many different personalities? So Chinese people have both Zhou Yi and Yan Min, and it's no big deal..."

"I don't care about his personality, and I've seen people who are more weird than him. I only care about how he plays football. As long as he has the strength, it's nothing more weird..."

"That's right. This kid is really fast..."

"Actually, if you want to say that the speed is fast, he is not as good as Aubameyang. Aubameyang's starting speed is really fast. But this kid is running at high speed, and I personally think he is more flexible than Aubameyang..."

The members of the coaching staff commented on Yan Min.

Yan Min knew nothing about the coach's evaluation of him, and he was training wholeheartedly.
