Chapter 65 Become the World's Top Player

Having performed well in three consecutive games and helping the team win, Zhou Yi has rapidly risen in popularity among Dortmund fans.

Now Zhou Yi has a headache because he will be blocked at the entrance of the training base for at least half an hour after training every day to meet the fans' requirements for autographs and group photos.

Unlike those players who drove to training, Zhou Yi was also the closest player, so more people came to him.

At noon on Tuesday, Zhou Yi was picked up by his agent Schulze after training, and they were going to be interviewed.

"Are you using a taxi to pick me up?" Zhou Yi asked when he saw Schulze.

"Of course, I haven't bought a car yet." Schulze greeted Zhou Yi to get into the car. "I think I'm going to buy a car soon though."

In the headquarters building of Ruhr News, Zhou Yi accepted an exclusive interview.

The person who interviewed Zhou Yi was Mathias Daisy, a reporter from Ruhr News who was in charge of Dortmund news. Zhou Yi is no stranger to him, because Dai Shi is a reporter who interviews with the team, and he is familiar with many Dortmund players and officials.

Of course, Dai Shi is more familiar with Zhouyi.

So in fact, this is an interview that everyone knows well.

However, considering that this is Zhou Yi's first media interview after all, Dai Shi still did some homework. He even went to Klopp specifically, because Klopp said at the press conference of the last game It was he who discovered the Book of Changes himself.

Dai Shi was interested in this, so he went to Klopp to find out about the situation.

At the same time, he also went to interview Zhou Yi's two head coaches in the Dortmund youth team in advance, and learned about Zhou Yi's situation in the youth team from them.

So this time, the "Ruhr News" is not just as simple as wanting to publish an exclusive interview with Zhouyi.

They're going to do a feature on this recent supernova!

Rarely has a youngster been able to produce such consistently brilliant performances from the start of his first-team debut.

Even Shaheen, the core of the current first team, has experienced a period of confusion after representing Dortmund's first team in the league early. He was also loaned to Feyenoord and almost never returned.

But Zhou Yi is different from him. When he came on the bench, it can be said that he was rushing to the shelves, but he performed well.

Then Shaheen was injured, and he drove the ducks to the shelf again and got on the starting lineup, still performing well.

He exceeded everyone's expectations time and time again.

For this reason, Ruhr News, an influential media in the Ruhr area, especially in Dortmund, believes that Zhou Yi's performance deserves a special issue.

After the two of them sat down, Zhou Yi was still doing very well. Seeing that his body was a little stiff and too formal, Dai Shi said that it would be fine to just chat.

Hearing what Dai Shi said, Zhou Yi collapsed on the sofa.

Schulze coughed beside him, and Zhou Yi sat up again.

Dai Shi quickly smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to sit up, we will let you sit up when we need to take pictures. Now you can do whatever you feel comfortable with."

Hearing what Dai Shi said, Zhou Yi half-lyed on the sofa again unceremoniously.

This is indeed much more comfortable.

It's not easy for Schulze to remind Zhou Yi anymore.

Only by him.

Then Zhou Yi started chatting with Dai Shi in this comfortable posture.

They chatted from Zhou Yi's middle school days until he came to Dortmund.

This experience is almost completely unknown to Dai Shi, and it is also what interests him the most. At the beginning, he heard Klopp talk about such a reality show, but Klopp didn't know what was going on.

After listening to Zhou Yi's narration, Dai Shi discovered that Zhou Yi's experience was far more legendary than he had imagined at the beginning - he was definitely not just a substitute for the first time, he completed a goal and an assist as simple as...

And a year ago, he hadn't even touched professional football!

It's just such a kid who became a monk halfway, but he made an unimaginable leap.

He is very happy now that he got such an exclusive interview. This is all big news!

What could be more miraculous than a middle school student player becoming a genius who scored goals and assisted in the Bundesliga in just one year?

"You said that you rejected the invitations from Barcelona and Arsenal in the end, but chose Dortmund. What is the reason?" Dai Shi was particularly interested in Zhou Yi's draft and asked in detail.

"Dortmund pays more attention to me, even the head coach of the first team came here." Zhou Yi said. "And I chose Dortmund because Mr. Klopp is a head coach who attaches great importance to young people and is willing to give young people opportunities."

Zhou Yi didn't forget to flatter the head coach by the way.

"In comparison, the sincerity of Barcelona and Arsenal in this regard is not very sufficient."

After listening to what Zhou Yi said, Dai Shi had a new question: "I have a doubt. Most people would think that with your reputation and ability at the time, why did you raise such a big question to the big clubs like Barcelona and Arsenal? How much to ask for? Shouldn't you be lucky if they are willing to find you?"

"I think this idea is wrong." Zhou Yi said bluntly. "Since they took the initiative to come to me, it means that my potential has been recognized by them. Then why can't I make my own request? Whether the other party is willing to accept it is one thing, and whether I mention it is another. Things. Besides, I don't think my request is too much. I was seventeen years old at the time..."

Zhou Yi told Dai Shi again what he had explained to his teammates.

After hearing this, Dai Shi was amazed at how clear Zhou Yi's plans for his future were at such a young age.

"I've seen a lot of talented young people, but when they were your age, I'm afraid they were still a little confused about their future, not knowing what to do or what they could do..." he said with emotion.

"Actually, I also had times when I was confused." Zhou Yi scratched his head. "I didn't know whether I should continue my studies or play football. Later, my friends convinced me and helped me strengthen my belief."

"Well, since you have a very clear plan for your future, may I ask what your ultimate goal is?"

"Become the top player in the world."

Zhou Yi blurted out, and then he asked, "Are you a little crazy?"

Dai Shi shook his head and smiled: "No, no, every teenager who plays football wants to be the best in the world."

After the interview, Zhou Yi and Schulze left, and someone came to ask Dai Shi: "Hey, Matthias, what kind of person is Zhou Yi?"

"He is an interesting person..." Dai Shi said with a smile.

※※※

"Zhou Yi, do you really want to be the world's top player?" On the way back, Schulze asked Zhou Yi.

"Of course, who doesn't want to?" Zhou Yi asked Schulze back.

"But if you want to be the best, you have to pay a price beyond ordinary people." Schulze frowned.

"Then you can't give up being the best because of this, right? If I can, why not?" Zhou Yi continued to ask. "Or do you think I can't, Tino?"

Schulze waved his hand quickly: "No, I believe you, Zhou Yi. I was just thinking... If you become one of the best players in the world, what about me..."

Zhou Yi laughed: "You? Of course you are the agent of the best player in the world!"

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Schulze frowned and smiled: "Yes, the agent of the best player in the world!"

During the training on Wednesday morning, Captain Kyle saw Zhou Yi and reminded him not to forget the "events" in the afternoon.

Zhou Yi was very curious: "Captain, what kind of event is it? Tell me..."

Kyle just shook his head and said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes, soon, it will not be a few hours."

Seeing Kyle like this, Zhou Yi always felt that it must be something bad.

Otherwise, why didn't the captain say it?

But what could be wrong?

No matter how Zhou Yi thought about it, he couldn't think of it.

Seeming to see Zhou Yi's worry, Kyle patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's definitely not a bad thing. It's just that it will be a little bit... hard."

After the training, Kyle found him again in the locker room and said to him, "You don't need to come to the training in the afternoon, Zhou Yi, you go directly to Westfalen at three o'clock."

"Going to Westphalia?" Zhou Yi recalled that Kyle told himself that it would be a little hard work in the morning, and he blurted out, "Isn't it because you want to clean up the stadium?"

"What are you thinking?" Kyle smiled. "No, you'll know when you go anyway."

"The stadium is so big, where exactly should I go?" Zhou Yi asked again.

"There's a bar at the stadium, you know that?" Kyle asked.

Zhou Yi nodded: "I know." Mark's parents were still there to buy themselves a glass of beer.

"Just go there directly, and you'll know when you go!" Kyle was still mysterious.

In the end, Zhou Yi could only leave the training base with his mind full of question marks and doubts.

After eating homemade spaghetti at noon, Zhou Yi chose to take a nap for an hour.

In fact, he didn't have the habit of taking a nap at first, but since he got the golden finger, he started taking a nap. Because in this way, he can spend an extra hour training in the virtual world every day.

After the afternoon nap, Zhou Yi simply combed his hair and set off.

A taxi was hailed and he was taken to the Westfalenstadion.

The taxi driver was very happy when he found out that he was pulling Zhou Yi, who was very popular recently. He also heard that Zhou Yi's destination was Westphalia. He exclaimed, "Could it be you this year?"

Zhou Yi was at a loss: "What is me this year?"

"Uh, don't you know, Zhou Yi?"

"Know what?" Zhou Yi was even more surprised.

"Oh..." The taxi driver also responded. "After all, you just came to Dortmund. It's normal to not know some things. In fact, this is the tradition of the club during Christmas every year."

"Tradition?"

"Yes. Every December, the club will pick a day for first-team players to go to the home bar to serve as bartenders for us and sign autographs for us. But not all first-team players will participate, and usually a few will be selected. I didn't expect to have you this year...but it's normal to think about it, your recent performance is so popular..." In Zhou Yi's eyes, the taxi driver who was a Dortmund fan suddenly became a brother from Beijing, opening his mouth Without stopping, I gave Zhou Yi a popularization of Dortmund's Christmas traditions.

And when Zhou Yi came outside the Westfalenstadion, he was also taken aback. There were so many fans outside the stadium that he thought there was a game today.

"So many people?!" Zhou Yi asked in surprise in the taxi.

"Recently, the team's performance is good, so there are more fans here. It's okay." The taxi driver said in a tone of "I haven't seen any scenes before."

Only then did Zhou Yi understand what captain Kyle meant by "a little bit of hard work".

Looking at the people in front of them suddenly, there are about two or three thousand people.

Being a waiter for so many people, and signing autographs... It's definitely not as simple as "a little hard work"!
