Chapter 234 Rest Day

After the award ceremony, Dortmund players celebrated inside the stadium.

Klopp was chased by his players and doused with beer.

But Zhou Yi was not much better. When he was concentrating on dealing with Klopp, he was also attacked by his teammates.

In the end, there was a big melee, and no one could escape the fate of taking a beer bath.

But everyone is happy.

Although this is not the first time they have won the league championship, this season's league championship was not easy to come by.

After drawing with Bayern Munich in the away game, the Dortmund team gritted their teeth and chased hard, never daring to fall behind. In the end, they not only persisted in completing this arduous marathon, but also completed a reversal and overtaking at the last moment.

This was an easier championship than the previous two seasons, which made them even more impressed.

After the celebration on the court, the club officials did not arrange other celebrations because the season is not over and they have a more important game waiting.

So the next step is just for the players to get together and continue celebrating.

Klopp did not go, but just warned his players not to have too much fun. They don't have to come to training tomorrow, but they will resume normal training the day after tomorrow. They have to prepare for the next UEFA Champions League final.

The Champions League final is indeed more intimidating. That night, Dortmund's players did not celebrate wildly. At 11:30 p.m., basically all the players left the game and went home.

The same goes for Zhouyi.

The next day, Zhou Yi didn't have to go to the Brakel training base to train, but he was not idle either.

Early in the morning, he received several calls from Chinese reporters. They conducted phone interviews with him and asked him some questions about his thoughts on winning the championship. Some also asked him about his outlook for the Champions League final.

Then Zhou Yi and his agent Schulze made an appointment for lunch outside.

Zhou Yi led the team to win the Bundesliga championship for three consecutive years and won the assists title for three consecutive years. Such performance will certainly increase his commercial value.

Schulze brought some brands' intentions to sponsor him, and also asked Zhou Yi about his future plans.

Bundesliga champion for three consecutive seasons,

The Bundesliga has almost won all the championships it can win, and the Champions League has also reached the final this season.

If he loses in the final, it means that he has encountered a bottleneck in Dortmund and needs to find a breakthrough elsewhere.

If he wins the championship in the final, it means that he has no pursuit in Dortmund. He has got all the championships he should win. Why is there any need to stay in Dortmund?

So now in Europe, many teams are watching Zhou Yi's movements.

Gotze has been poached by Bayern Munich in advance, and Zhou Yi's future is still unknown.

Schulze alone received four personal contacts.

And they are all well-known giants in Europe, but they are definitely not second-tier teams.

Regarding the question of where to go in the future, Schulze no longer dares to make his own decisions. Although many agents like to make this kind of decision for players, after all, buying and selling players to earn commissions and transfer fees is their favorite way to make money...

But the relationship between Schulze and Zhou Yi is not like this. In the beginning, Zhou Yi made the decision on important matters. Zhou Yi would choose to sign a contract with Schulze and make him his agent. Over the years, both parties have always abided by the original "gentleman's agreement" and the cooperation has been very pleasant.

Schulze would take the initiative to discuss this matter with Zhou Yi, and would never wait until Zhou Yi called him before he mentioned it.

Whether there is a transfer this summer, and if so, where to transfer, these issues must be decided by Zhou Yi. He, as an agent, does not dare to make a decision.

Now Zhouyi's development prospects are bright and the momentum is rapid. Even a fool can see that Zhouyi is already a rising future superstar in world football. Since Schulze finally became Zhouyi's agent, how could he lose this opportunity for some stupid reasons and let other agents take advantage?

So of course he had to serve Zhou Yi well.

Of course, as an agent, he still has something to say. He will tell Zhou Yi the pros and cons of each option, and then let Zhou Yi make the decision. Instead of just saying nothing and just listening to Zhou Yi, then his agent would be too insignificant and useless...

"Real Madrid, Barcelona...and Manchester United and Arsenal?" Zhou Yi looked at the list of teams that Schulze brought to him that were interested in him.

They are all well-known giants in various leagues.

"In terms of sincerity, we and they both have it, so which team do you think is suitable for you at the critical moment?" Schulze said.

But Zhou Yi did not continue reading, but put the list aside.

The names on the list are all very attractive and glittering.

"But I don't want to move this summer, Tino."

"Is it because of Gotze?" Schulze asked.

"Roughly the same……"

"I think Germany is a bit too small for you, Zhou Yi."

"Of course." Zhou Yi nodded. "I'm only 22 years old this year. It doesn't matter if I stay in Dortmund for one or two more years. If I can continue this performance, I don't believe that teams like them will not want me in one or two years." Zhou Yi clicked with his hand. List, "What I worry about is that after Gotze leaves, if I leave too, it will be a huge blow to Dortmund. I don't want to see that. Moreover, after losing Gotze, Dortmund will definitely not They will let me go. Even if those clubs offer sky-high prices, Dortmund will probably not let me go. If I are asked to come out and make trouble with the club, I won't be able to do it."

Schulze nodded when he heard this: "That's not your style, Zhou Yi."

"There is another very important reason - next summer is the World Cup. Before the World Cup, I need to be in a stable environment so that I can ensure continuous playing opportunities and maintain my form. There is no better place than Dortmund. . If I transfer now, the new place, new environment, and various adaptations will disrupt my original life. I don’t like this. To be on the safe side, and to have the best performance in the World Cup, I choose to stay in Dortmund.” Zhou Yi gave another reason that Schulze could not refute.

This reason is even stronger than the first one. Because the World Cup is very, very important to a Chinese player, even more important than the Champions League.

Although the Chinese team has not yet reached the World Cup finals, in Zhou Yi's mind, if he cannot even reach the World Cup finals, what is the point of working so hard for himself and his friends in Europe? So no matter what, I will definitely participate in the finals.

His sights were set on Brazil from the beginning.

If these two reasons are used, Schulze knows that there is no need to discuss the transfer today. Zhou Yi will continue to stay in Dortmund this summer.

But that doesn't mean that my trip is in vain.

Since the transfer is no longer discussed, should we discuss contract renewal?

Dortmund has always had an urgent need to renew Zhou Yi's contract.

Especially after hearing that Gotze was poached by Bayern Munich, their desire to renew Zhou Yi's contract became even stronger. They were afraid that Zhou Yi would also be poached by some giant...

"...Dortmund hopes to cancel liquidated damages in the new contract. To this end, they are willing to significantly raise standards in terms of bonuses and annual salaries..."

"How much has it improved?" Zhou Yi asked.

Schulze held out a finger.

Zhou Yi asked: "Another one million?"

Schulze shook his head quickly: "The annual salary is 10 million."

Zhou Yi took a breath of air. This number really scared him - when did Dortmund become so generous?

"To be precise, the club will give you eight million, and the other two million will be given by you and the club's joint sponsor Puma. That adds up to ten million." Schulze explained.

With such an explanation, Zhou Yi can somewhat understand it. If Dortmund club directly spends 10 million, he will not believe it even if Zhou Yi is killed.

As Puma's chief global spokesperson, Puma certainly hopes to keep Zhou Yi in Dortmund, because Dortmund is also a team sponsored by Puma. If Dortmund performs well, Puma will be profitable. If Zhou Yi leaves Dortmund and Dortmund's performance declines, it will not be good for Puma's brand image.

An annual salary of 10 million is a very attractive figure. Ten million euros, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan!

One hundred million yuan a year is an income that ordinary people may not be able to earn in dozens of lifetimes.

This number is more than three times Zhou Yi's current annual salary.

With this kind of income, ordinary people can immediately consider providing for retirement.

But Zhou Yi did not intend to accept this condition.

"The buyout clause is definitely impossible to give up." Zhou Yi said to Schulze straight to the point. "The specific buyout amount can be negotiated, but this clause must be there. Now I am quite happy to cooperate with Dortmund, but no one knows what the future will be like. There is always some preparation. It doesn't matter if the annual salary is 10 million , I don’t want an annual salary of 10 million, I want a buyout clause.”

"Okay." Schulze didn't object. Although he had a 5% commission on the player's salary, the higher the salary, the higher his commission income. The player's salary is directly related to his income.

But in the face of Zhou Yi's future, he did not care about his own interests. He knows that short-term benefits are not as good as long-term benefits.

As long as he can always be tied to Zhou Yi, what does it matter if he earns less commission? The Chinese market is so big, and he still wants to expand the market in China in the future. And Zhouyi is his golden key to enter the already developed Chinese market. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation.
