On his way to Otria's house, Götze encounters an uninvited guest.

He was approached by a middle-aged man in a suit in the middle of summer, his clothes were expensive, and he had the standard "trafficker" smile on his face.

"Mario, can you talk?"

Gotze raised his head and looked at the man in confusion: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man deepened the smile on his lips: "Volker Strus, a football agent who is not yet on the right track, but also the owner of one of the top 10 best-selling office supply companies in Germany. ”

Strus Götze had never heard of the name, and was confused about Strus's self-introduction, but out of politeness, he paused to listen to him.

"Hello, Mr. Strus, I've never seen you before, is there anything you can do......"

Strus smiled, "But my friend Dick and I have been watching you for a long time. ”

Götze didn't know what to say: "Huh?"

Strus looked at the wooden chair on the side of the road and said, "Mario, shall we go over there and talk slowly?"

This guy named Strus doesn't look like a liar...... Uh, although no scammer would make himself look like a scammer.

Götze took out his phone from his bag and looked at it, it was just half past six, and the time should still be in time. Surrounded by passers-by, it was unlikely that he would be kidnapped on the street, and Gotze didn't think much about it, so he followed Strus and sat down.

After the two sat down, Strus opened the game with a blunt one: "You may not know, but my friend Dick and I have watched a lot of your games on the youth team. We agree that you are gifted and that you need an agent who can plan well for your future. ”

Gotze touched his head, he still didn't have any thoughts about the agent for the time being: "You also said, I'm still in the youth team, I don't think I need an agent now." ”

Strus hooked his lips, which meant that the player he fancied had not yet been signed by anyone else: "Mario, don't jump to conclusions, I want to know what your plans for the future are?"

Gotze buried his head and thought about it: "Let's go to the first team as much as possible......"

Strus nodded, "And then, do you have any particular team you'd like to play for?"

Götze was a hesitant question, and he wanted to answer Bayern Munich, but he felt that it was not the real answer in his mind.

Seeing that Gotze had not spoken, Strus patted him on the shoulder: "I really want to plan your future for you, because I think according to your potential, you can even surpass Zidane." ”

Being praised so violently, Gotze shook his head embarrassedly: "I'm still far from Zidane. ”

"It's not that long in my eyes. Strus curled his eyes at Gotze, "Now you are far superior to your peers, even among children three or four years older than you, you are the absolute best." In case you don't know, my friend and I weren't the only ones who went to see Dort's youth team for you. ”

Gotze looked up at Strus curiously, apparently intrigued by him.

"I can tell you responsibly that the man who often sits on our top right is a scout from Bayern Munich, and next to him are scouts from Stuttgart and Bremen. Strus didn't pause as he spoke, "Even Schalke 04's scouts came, and he was ......"

Before Strus could finish speaking, Götze interrupted him by shaking his head violently: "No, I don't want to go to Schalke!"

"Haha, Mario, take it easy, no one will force you to go to Schalke. Strus smiled and blinked, "Bayern Munich is interested in recruiting you, why should we go to Schalke?"

The little vanity that was not easy to reveal in Gotze's heart was excavated by Strus, and the little one smiled, not uncomfortable with Strus's almost "we" call, and was obviously very useful for it.

"Does Bayern really want to poach me?"

Strus said earnestly: "At the age of 14, he is the absolute mainstay of the Under-18 team, with 32 goals and 38 assists in 34 games all season. Not to mention Bayern Munich, even Real Madrid or AC Milan, if they find you, they will definitely bring you to their team. ”

Sir, you're exaggerating...... Götze coughed uncomfortably, but he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: "The boss said that I can improve a little more." ”

"Yes!" Strus was in high spirits, "When I first saw you on the pitch, I saw the future Mr. Ballon d'Or! You still have a lot of potential that has not yet been discovered, but young players will always have a ruined future due to various accidents, or they will not be able to concentrate on football, and what our agents have to do is to clear the obstacles off the pitch for you - it doesn't matter how old you are or whether you have entered the first team." ”

"Eh......" Gotze was a little moved by Strus, "that sounds good." ”

Götze's dazzling appearance in the academy has long attracted the attention of many clubs in Germany, and in fact, many scouts have come to talk to Götze's family. His parents considered that after two or three years of life, the family had become familiar with the living environment in Dortmund, and it was not easy to settle down, and the opportunities were not particularly good, so there was no need to leave Dortmund. Therefore, they politely rejected the kindness of these clubs one by one, and did not tell him these things in order to let Gotze play with peace of mind.

So far, Gotze has not been tempted by too many outside parties, and it is precisely because he can calm down that his skills have improved by incredible leaps and bounds.

Strus had been secretly watching Götze's expression change, and he was bound to take down the young talent as he prepared to officially enter football.

From time to time, fans with colorful scarves pass by the roadside, and the scarves they hold are all made by the Strus company.

Strus wasn't technically a football fan, having been a businessman since he started his business from scratch at the age of 25. In the process of business, he has endured many hardships, but he persevered and opened up a new path for product innovation with his unique perspective.

His company's main product was originally office supplies, but as a forward-looking businessman, his company's business scope is no longer just office supplies.

This World Cup is coming to an end, and Strus has made a lot of money from it. He went to see two games and was amazed by the enthusiasm and spending power of the fans, and he saw the huge glamour of football in the infinite business opportunities hidden behind it.

After returning from the stadium, Strus began to check the relevant information about German football. He saw the "2+2 policy" proposed by the German Football Association at the beginning of the year, and then took a look at the column of "Oriental Wizard" that was hyped on the Internet, and finally completed every game of the German team in this World Cup.

Now it is only the beginning of the German Football Association's vigorous support for youth training, but there are already such gratifying results...... Strus feels that in the near future, a new generation of young talents in Germany will spring up in large numbers.

Coincidentally, at this time, his fan friend Dick Heber approached Strus and proposed that the two cooperate to set up a football agency, saying that he has a lot of connections in the football circle.

Strus agreed without hesitation.

The opportunity was in front of him, so why didn't he seize it?

One of the most critical aspects of Hebbel's network is the scouting resources, which is how they learned about Mario Gotze's name. When they went to watch the Dortmund youth team play in person, they couldn't contain their excitement because they saw several new stars with great development potential!

Strus said he would do it, and while he and Heber started the company, he also searched for information about the young players they had their eye. His plan is to wait until he feels confident that he will win the player, and then go out to negotiate with the other party himself.

Mario Gotze is the first target customer of his soon-to-be-founded company – he feels that Gotze has the most potential of all the young players, and given his family background, he is confident that he will be able to sign Gotze. He also discovered that Gotze had a good relationship with another young player they had their eye on, Marco Royce, and if they could win Gotze, they could also take the opportunity to communicate with Royce.

Seeing that Götze had already followed him to his thoughts, Strus was about to add more fire, but Götze's cell phone rang.

"Oh no! Boss, I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to the time, I'll be there soon!"

Strusgerze got up in a panic and hurriedly grabbed him: "Mario, what's wrong?"

Gotze forgot the time while chatting with Strus, and Yan Jing's phone call just now reminded him.

"I'm sorry, I made an appointment to watch the World Cup final. Gotze turned his head to look at Strus apologetically, "I have to go." ”

Strus saw that Götze was indeed in a hurry, and it was not like he was pretending to get rid of him, and he did not let the other party stay.

Before Gotze left, Strus took out a piece of paper with a delicate design and handed it over: "This is my business card, I'll contact you and your family tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow, goodbye, Mr. Strus. ”

Taking the paper and stuffing it into his trouser pocket, Götze nodded at Strus, turned around and ran away.
