Chapter 77 Letting No One Eat Well!

"Have you heard, Dongzi?" Assistant coach Xu Yang found Hao Dong, eager to deliver a gossip to him. "Dortmund also sent someone to find Zhou Yi!"

"Ah? Through us?" Hao Dong was surprised, he didn't receive any news.

"No...they came directly to the hotel to find Zhou Yi!"

"Then how do they talk, they don't understand the language?"

"It is said that the scout seems to be... able to speak Chinese."

"Hey, it's interesting..." Hao Dong pondered. Dortmund, the scout of a German football club can speak Chinese... Is this purely coincidental, or is it intentional? If it is the latter, it means that Dortmund really attaches great importance to Zhou Yi.

"How did it turn out?" he asked.

"What else? It is said that Zhou Yi used the same trick to block him back." Xu Yang felt a little regretful when he mentioned this. "What do you think is in Zhou Yi's mind? Regardless of the first team, you must first be able to play in Europe to be eligible to consider more. Now that he has put forward higher goals as a request in advance, who can Accept? He is not a genius like Messi..."

Regarding this issue, Hao Dong had already discussed with Xu Tao yesterday, but Xu Yang was not present at that time. Hao Dong smiled and comforted Xu Yang: "Oh, it's good for people to have their own ideas, so don't worry about that, you're not his father."

"My age is almost enough to be his grandfather... I just can't bear to see such a good youngster miss the opportunity to study abroad because he is too ambitious. You know, it is not easy for us Chinese players to go abroad to play football .Zhou Yi has a good condition. He doesn't have a club now, so he doesn't need the approval of a domestic club to study abroad, which is one less threshold... I didn't expect him to set a higher threshold for himself! Hey!"

Hao Dong shook his head: "I don't think it may be higher. Compared with those domestic clubs that ask for sky-high prices, they are still very conscientious. It is true that young players want to obtain more beneficial protection of their rights and interests. In the past, these jobs have Handed it over to the agent, Zhou Yi didn't have an agent, so he had to play by himself, I think it's good for him to be neither humble nor overbearing in the face of European clubs."

"Yes, I also hate the kind of soft bones that want to kneel down and hug his thighs immediately when I see a European club, but... Alas! I am worried that his talent will be wasted!"

Hao Dong was also very moved when he saw his mentor look so anxious for a child. He always has enthusiasm and a pure heart for youth football work, which is why he invited his mentor to come out to partner with him.

"Don't worry, Xu Zhi. I still have some personal relationships. If it doesn't work, I'm willing to help that child." Hao Dong said.

"You are really sending the Buddha to the west."

"Aren't we the same, we all love talents?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After Tim Kiester returned to his hotel room, the first thing he did was to call Klopp.

"Tim, have you met the kid?" As soon as the phone was connected, Klopp's straightforward question rang out.

"See, but I have a piece of feedback for you, Jurgen."

"Need me to record it?"

"No, it's simple. Here's the thing..."

On the phone, Kester told Klopp all the content of his exchange with Zhou Yi this evening.

"You mean...he asked us to promise his first-team playing opportunities?" Klopp asked after listening.

"Yes. And before us, there were clubs looking for him. But he also made this request, and it sounds like they didn't agree."

"Which one?"

"Arsenal."

Klopp on the other end of the phone chuckled.

"How did you answer him?"

"I said I can't be the master of this matter,

I promised to reply to him at noon tomorrow, and he also promised me that he would not accept invitations from other clubs until then. "

"Well, Tim, I want you to tell him when you go to him tomorrow at noon, just say I'm going to interview him in person tomorrow night."

Hearing Klopp say this, Tim Kiester was stunned. He originally thought it was just a matter of making a phone call, okay, Klopp said on the phone, and he would just take a message to Zhou Yi.

Who would have thought that Klopp would come in person!

"Aren't you leading the training?"

"So I won't be free until after training in the afternoon," Klopp said.

"This... Jurgen, is it worth it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, we'll talk about it after we meet."

After hesitating for a day, Alan Powell decided to pass on Zhou Yi's request to Arsenal's youth training director Liam Brady.

Why hesitate for a day?

Because he felt that Zhou Yi was making trouble for no reason at all, and submitting such a condition would only make him scolded by his boss.

Brady also fell into a brief silence after hearing Alan Powell relay Zhou Yi's request on the phone.

Powell didn't say anything, but waited for his boss to answer with his mobile phone.

"Special genius clause...he even knows about this..." Brady's tone was as if Zhou Yi shouldn't know about it. "Our club finds talents from all over the world every year and brings them to the Emirates Stadium. The special talent clause is for those players who can play first-team games when they come up. This will definitely not apply to him. You can express to him that Arsenal Club is willing to loan him to the best satellite club, and specify his number of appearances and time requirements in the loan contract to ensure that he gets the best exercise, but the special talent clause is a matter Just stop talking."

After receiving instructions from his boss, Aaron Powell nodded: "Okay, I know what to say. But... what if he insists on his own opinion?"

Powell asked a lot, because he thought of Zhou Yi who was sitting face to face with him but was extremely calm and difficult. He didn't look like a seventeen-year-old child at all...

"This cannot be compromised. We have given our utmost sincerity. If he is unwilling to accept it, that's the only way to go." Brady said.

In the process of Arsenal's global search for young talents, there will always be some situations that have to be given up. As the team's youth training director, Brady has seen it a lot. There is nothing to regret. It is normal. When you choose me, I also choose you. Only when both parties reach a consensus can this matter be successful.

Although Brady had some regrets in his heart, this regret did not affect his decision-making. He just felt incredible about Zhou Yi's unrealistic persistence-this kind of stupid persistence would make him lose opportunities, but for Arsenal Said there was nothing to lose.

In Brady's mind, he felt that it was a good thing for Arsenal to give Zhou Yi a chance. Bargaining is not something that Zhou Yi's children at this stage should do.

The next day, after Zhou Yi finished his training, he followed the bus back to the hotel, but instead of going back to the room with everyone, he was called away by Hao Dong.

Everyone looked at the backs of Zhou Yi and Hao Dong, some were envious and others were jealous.

"Which one is it this time?"

"It's all crazy, why only find Zhou Yi, I'm not bad at playing!"

"Let's guess whether Zhou Yi will refuse or agree this time..."

While everyone was discussing, no one noticed Tim Kiester sitting in the corner of the lobby, looking uneasy.

In fact, Kist had come a long time ago, but he never had the chance to find Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi followed their coach away after the game.

Even a fool can guess it, there must be another colleague looking for it.

Just don't know who it is this time...

He guessed nervously.

But it didn't take long, maybe less than ten minutes, when he saw Zhou Yi come out of the elevator again, and looked around.

He knew he was looking for him because they had made an appointment before, so he got up and walked towards Zhou Yi.

"I see you followed your coach just now..."

"It's still Arsenal." Zhou Yi said. "This time they offered a better loan deal, but... they still didn't let go of the first team. So we are completely out of the game." He spread his hands.

"That's really..." Kist couldn't continue, because he didn't know whether to comfort Zhou Yi at this time or to be happy that he still had a chance.

Zhou Yi also felt Kester's embarrassment, so he smiled and said, "You want to say this is really good news?"

Kester scratched his head in embarrassment: "Let's not talk about this, I came to you this time to tell you the latest news. That's it, after the request you made... the club still attaches great importance to it, so the first-line The head coach of the team, Mr. Klopp, will fly over to have an interview with you, just tonight."

Zhou Yi was also surprised when he heard Kester's words.

Jurgen Klopp is the latest Borussia Dortmund manager to take over, and as a fan he naturally knows it.

But I didn't expect Klopp, the head coach of the first team, to come to Barcelona specially for him...

This really surprised him.

After finishing the training in the afternoon, Zhou Yi was finally not called to his room by Hao Dong as soon as he arrived at the hotel. Everyone was relieved—finally no one was looking for Zhou Yi for the time being, otherwise they would see other clubs looking for Zhou Yi every day. Not a taste...

But just halfway through the meal, two people appeared outside the restaurant, one of them was wearing a peaked cap, and the other raised his hand to wave to the restaurant.

Zhou Yi got up after seeing it: "Ah, someone is looking for it, so leave me alone tonight!"

After speaking, he greeted them out.

Zhou Yi's sudden departure also made the other teammates very curious, and they cast curious glances at the two people at the restaurant door.

Zhou Yi walked to the door and said a few words to the two of them, then shook hands with the man in the peaked cap, and the three of them left the restaurant and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Isn't that Klopp?"

Someone wondered: "Who is Klopp?"

"Don't you watch football? Dortmund's new coach this year, Jurgen Klopp!"

"Which person?"

"The one with the hat!"

"I rely on!!!!"

There was a frying pan in the restaurant.

The head coach of Dortmund's first team has come to find Zhou Yi in person!

What's happening here!

This is more shocking than a scout looking for Zhou Yi!

Sun Pan was also stunned. He didn't expect Dortmund to move the head coach of the first team directly.

"Damn it, the head coach will come to look for every meal, can you still make people have a good meal?" He complained.

In the noisy environment, Liang Qiqi looked at the rice grains all over the table sprayed by himself, and wanted to cry but had no tears.

Just now, as soon as he put the paella into his mouth, he heard that Dortmund coach Klopp personally went to Barcelona to find Zhou Yi. He was so surprised that he choked a few grains of rice into his trachea, and then he coughed violently. He sprayed out all the food in his mouth, forming such a mess now.

Can you still make people eat well? !

He is the one who most wants to say this...
