Zhou Yi sat in an ordinary restaurant, in an ordinary corner, and a table that could sit for four people.

He, Tim Kister, and Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp put the baseball cap in the fourth position, as if he was taking a single position for someone.

"I'm sorry to call you out of the place where you eat, so I personally invite you to have a meal. Well, I'm actually hungry. I came directly from Bracker and didn't even eat supper. Now I'm so hungry!"

After listening to Keest's translation, Zhou Yi laughed. He felt that Klopp was not like his phenomenon, but a very interesting person.

But Klopp was not very satisfied with Zhou Yi's reaction: "Zhou, I suggest you start learning German from now on. There are many things that are not true to be passed on by translation. It is better to say a joke just now, but you didn't laugh at that time. After listening to the translation, you made my jokes turn into a joke."

After translating this sentence, Keest added to Zhou Yi: "Don't care, Jurgen is such a person, you have to get used to his speaking style."

"Tim, don't add anything casually, it will make me worry that Zhou can't understand what I mean." Klopp seemed to have heard something, and he reminded Kester.

"I don't, Jurgen, I just told him that this is your style." Kester retorted.

Zhou Yi was really confused when he listened to them talking in German.

This German sounds like he has a mouthful of phlegm in his mouth anytime and anywhere and wants to spit it out...

It seems that the first step to learn German is to get a mouthful of phlegm in your mouth.

After arguing with Kester, Klopp looked at Zhou Yi again: "I'm not a person who likes to talk nonsense. I'm used to being straight to the point. Let's say that Zhou, you told Kester that you want to get the first team promise from Dortmund. But to be honest, I'm very disappointed with your statement."

After listening to the translation, Zhou Yi understood that he felt that his requirements were too high? Is it interesting to fly over from Dortmund just to complain that he was not aware of the world?

"Because my arrangement for you is not as simple as playing in a first-team game."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he heard this.

"You will be a very important member of Dortmund's future."

Zhou Yi thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked Kester: "What did he really say?"

"Of course..." Keest didn't expect that Klopp's evaluation of Zhou Yi was so high, and he looked surprised.

"I can't promise you when you can play in the first team now. But what I can promise you is that as long as you play well in the youth team and have excellent performance, you will definitely be promoted to the first team. No matter how old you are, if you perform well at the age of nineteen, I will let you play in the Bundesliga at the age of nineteen, and if you perform well at the age of eighteen, I will let you play in the Bundesliga at the age of eighteen... I think you should also know that it is not only Wenger who likes to give young players opportunities, but me."

Klopp was very proud and confident when he said this.

Zhou Yi was completely shocked by Klopp's words. He did not expect that a first-team coach of a Bundesliga giant could say such words.

Such a promise...if he wasn't joking, it would be really attractive...

"Of course, we can write this thing into the contract, because it cannot clearly limit liability, and the law does not support such terms. Therefore, you can only choose to believe in me, my personal charm and commitment."

Klopp looked at Zhou Yi and looked straight, his eyes not blinking.

"I have a problem." Zhou Yi was finally able to speak.

"Speaking."

"First of all, I'm glad you can value me so much, but I wonder why you value me so much. I don't quite understand whether your words, 'I'm an important member of Dortmund' are to make me happy or serious, if so, what's the reason?"

After listening to Keest's translation, Klopp smiled: "You are not a problem. But indeed, I need to explain it clearly for you, instead of using a nice painting to draw you a beautiful future, and then trick you into our youth training camp and ignore it. If you can play it in a few years, the club will make a profit. If you don't play it, then we will not lose much..."

After joking, Klopp asked Zhou Yi: "Guess how did I know you?"

"A match against Dortmund Youth Team?"

"Yes, but I didn't know you after the game through scouts. I know there are some clubs who are interested in you now, and there are even clubs who look for you, but I bet that none of the head coaches of those clubs have ever seen your performance on the field, except me."

Zhou Yi was indeed surprised - he didn't expect Klopp to watch his game on the spot. But why did a first-team head coach suddenly come to the youth team's training ground?

"And I know everything you have done in every game since then. Thanks to Tim's hard work." He pointed to Kister. "He is responsible for following you to observe not one or two games, against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan and Inter Milan, every performance in every game, I know. Tim is a very outstanding scout. He judges that the players have a very outstanding vision. He strongly recommends that I sign you as soon as possible... I'm showing up with you, Zhou. Why do I have to fly over? Because I'm afraid you will run away. I know we have a lot of competitors, and I want to sign you first so that I can sleep well."

Zhou Yi is so happy, the head coach is too straightforward.

However, he also gained a new understanding of Klopp, a name that he had only heard in the news before.

As Kester said, this kind of confession may be the personal charm of Klopp.

Thinking of what he said just now: "You can only believe in my personal charm and commitment"...

Zhou Yi felt that since this coach watched all his games, he must have a good understanding of himself. At the same time, he promised himself an important position in the first team and his sincerity to fly from Germany to persuade him to join...

What reason does he have to refuse?

Are you really waiting for Barcelona?

How is it possible? Zhou Yi knew that it was just a joke for everyone, and he knew exactly what he thought about in his heart. He was not waiting for Barcelona.

He was just waiting for a club that really valued him and got to know him.

Now, such a club is in front of him.

Zhou Yi was also a straightforward person, so he nodded and said, "Since you are so straightforward, I am also straightforward. OK, I will promise you to sign a contract with Dortmund!"

After listening to Keest's translation, Klopp was stunned: "Has he agreed?"

"That's what I said, I should agree..."

"Why is it so... easy to agree?" Klopp murmured in a low voice.

“Isn’t this what you hoped?”

"That's right, there's always a sense of unreality... Forget it, believe him! Since they believe us." After Klopp said that, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhou Yi: "Then let's just say that, I will wait for you in Bracker, Zhou."

"Isn't it Dortmund?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

"Bracker is a training base in Dortmund," explains Kester.

"Oh, okay! OK!" Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly.

"Very good, we have reached an agreement. It's worth it for me to come to Barcelona this time. But unfortunately, we can't sign any contract, because before you successfully come to Dortmund, both of us still have a lot of work to do," Klopp said. "So now we can only be considered a gentleman agreement."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "We will be even. I believe in coaching your personal promise, and you also believe in my personal promise."

Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Klopp slapped happily and smiled happily: "Yes! That's right! Trust each other! This is the basis for interactions between people!"

In this way, Zhou Yi's decision to join Dortmund was finalized in an ordinary Catalan restaurant.

The tall scene without drinking and chatting looks casual, and it doesn't have any connection with it.

A few years later, if people start writing biographies for Zhou Yi from here, they can only say that this is really a way that fits the temperaments of Klopp and Zhou Yi...

※※※

Because the place for dinner was next to the hotel, Klopp and Kester sent Zhou Yi back to the hotel after dinner.

Then they turned to the airport.

"Jurgen, do you think we can trust him? What if, I mean, if he performs well the day after tomorrow and Barcelona also falls in love with him?"

On the way to the airport, Keest expressed his questions.

As a scout, he has come into contact with many players and their parents, so he has seen a lot of rebellion against players and their families.

He knew very well that promises were just a big deal in the face of economic interests. Too many children would give up the agreement that had already reached with Dortmund because other clubs offered richer conditions.

Not to mention that Barcelona is indeed more attractive than Dortmund.

Klopp raised the brim of the baseball cap and said, "What should we do? We have no choice but to believe in that child, his personality charm and commitment."

※※※

Zhou Yi just walked into the hotel lobby and did not make any progress, but was stopped by Sun Pan and the others. In addition to Sun Pan, Guo Nu and Yang Muge, the three regular partners, there were some other teammates.

They are obviously waiting for Zhou Yi.

When I saw Zhou Yi, I surrounded him.

"How is it? How is it? How is it talking?"

Everyone asked in a verbal way.

Zhou Yi thought there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and replied, "Well, I chose Dortmund."

"Wow!" A burst of exclamations rang out in the hall.

"They...have they agreed to your requests?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi incredibly.

The first team promised that with Zhou Yi's strength and qualifications, his request was simply a fantasy. How could Dortmund agree?

Zhou Yi nodded: "I agree."

The teammates were silent.

When Zhou Yi adhered to his principles, they believed that Zhou Yi would eventually be tragic in the face of cruel reality, and then he had to bow his head and admit defeat and lower his requirements. Moreover, no one would ask for lowering the requirements at that time.

But what surprised them was that after rejecting Arsenal twice, Zhou Yi did not change his request, and stubbornly waited for the team that could meet his requirements to appear... and then he really asked him to wait!

In the face of long-awaited ideals, should we stick to ourselves or compromise and make concessions?

Should I take a step back, Is it a big sky or give in again and again until I lose confidence?

Should you stick to the bottom line, do you not see the coffin and cry, or do you keep the clouds clear and the moon bright?

Many people fell into deep thought.

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi. I didn't expect you to be the first of us to go out." Yang Muge was very happy for Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart.

"You will find someone soon!" Zhou Yi said.

"I don't want to play so many games before I talk about it." Yang Muge smiled and shook his head. He seemed to have become accustomed to things like no one cares about it.

"Damn, you guys are so lucky. If you don't have it, you have to treat him!" Sun Pan muttered, not hiding his envy, jealousy and hatred.

Guo Nu also looked at Zhou Yi enviously. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes had already explained everything.

I don’t know how many people will not be able to sleep well tonight.

Fortunately, there will be no game tomorrow, otherwise the whole team's condition will probably be affected.
