Chapter 81: "The Strength of the Feet"

Tuchel's bad luck didn't end there, because the next day a number of well-known European football media wrote articles against Borussia Dortmund, and Tuchel coach was also one of the figures under media criticism, Mendes finally made a move.

"The new European golden boy is not taken seriously at Borussia Dortmund, because Dortmund's manager Tuchel is fond of German Gomez. A poor relationship with head coach Thomas Tuchel could lead to an early transfer for the new European golden boy...... ' Lusa news agency in Portugal

"Despite being the best in the team in terms of goals and assists, the new European golden boy is only in the middle of the table for Dortmund's playing time, and the reason for this is that the new European golden boy is not a player that Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel likes...... Spanish newspaper As

"It is reported that Mendes, a famous European football agent, is very dissatisfied with the unfair treatment of his clients in Dortmund, because Dortmund did not give his clients enough playing time, and his clients are the new European golden boy - Pang ......" Manchester Evening News in the United Kingdom.

“……”

Although Mendes had long expected Mendes to make a move, when Watzke actually saw the news, he was still angry in his heart, because the news had a certain impact on Dortmund's image. Dortmund has always been a good place for young European talents, and now that these news are out, which young talent dares to join Dortmund, after all, the new European golden boy is currently unable to play the main force in Dortmund.

"Damn Mendes, I knew you wouldn't give up, but luckily I was prepared in advance, I won't let you smear Dortmund like this, let's see!" Watzke said viciously.

Just as many reporters were about to go to Dortmund to find out the real time, the German sports media Bild and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung spoke at the same time, and they took out the interview records of Dortmund FC CEO Watzke and sports director Zolke.

"Dortmund FC's sporting director Zorke said in an interview with this newspaper: Due to the outstanding performance of the new European golden boy this season, Dortmund FC intends to renew his contract with a salary increase next summer, and the team will also make every effort to keep the new European golden boy and strive to create the best playing environment for him......" Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

"Borussia Dortmund Club CEO Mr. Watzke said in an interview with the newspaper: The new European Golden Boy is the second European Golden Boy Award winner in the history of Dortmund Club, and it is not for sale of the team, and the team is ready to build a team with it as the core, and will not accept inquiries and inquiries from any club for the time being......" Bild newspaper

The successive statements of Dortmund's two powerful figures conveyed to the outside world the attitude of Dortmund Club towards the new European golden boy, and also temporarily cut off the minds of other clubs for fat men. However, this matter is destined to not be over, because there is a popular saying in Europe, there is no player that cannot be bought, only you are willing to spend money.

There was a storm outside, and although the fat man was the focus of media reports, the fat man's life was not affected. Since handing over the transfer to Mendes, the fat man has rarely answered questions about this aspect in interviews.

In the evening, the fat man received a call from his agent Mendes during his German lesson.

"Pang, are you resting?" Mendez asked.

"Nope!" The fat man replied calmly, "Jorge, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Pang, I launched the media to test the Dortmund club today, they still attach great importance to you, and your plan to transfer to Manchester United in the winter is still very difficult to implement." Mendes told the truth.

"It's because it's difficult, that's why I asked you to be my agent!" The fat man said, "Jorge, I'm sure you can do it!" ”

"Pang, I will definitely do my best, but I need your cooperation!" Mendes said.

"How do you need me to cooperate, just say!" The fat man replied.

'I need you to make some remarks about Borussia Dortmund, especially with manager Thomas Tuchel, at the right time, so I can play on the topic!' Mendes spoke his mind.

"No problem, but if I do this, will it affect my normal play, you know I need beautiful stats now to impress Manchester United......" The fat man voiced his doubts.

'It's not about complaining for no reason, it's about finding an opportunity to complain, and I think Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel will give you a chance, he doesn't like you so much......' Mendes said with a smile.

"Jorge, you know everything?" The fat man asked.

"Yes, I spent the whole day collecting your situation in Dortmund from all sides and found a lot of incredible things." Mendes replied, "I thought you were given special attention in Dortmund, but I didn't expect it to be the case at all, thinking that you can win the European Golden Boy Award in this situation, I am more optimistic about your future......"

"Jorge, thank you for the compliment!" The fat man smiled wryly, 'I'm just a little unlucky, I'm not the player that coach Tuchel likes......

"Pang, this kind of thing happens a lot, it's not a big deal, a big part of the reason for the transfer of players is because of the bad relationship with the head coach...... Mendes explained.

'Jorge, do you know who Tuchel wants to bring in before this season?' The fat man asked curiously.

"Of course, I know everything in the transfer market of Europe's top five leagues." Mendes said confidently, "The player Tuchel wants to bring in is the German international Gomez. Gomes did not perform well after moving to Fiorentina from Bayern Munich, but after being loaned to Besiktas in the Turkish Super League last season, he did well, scoring 28 goals in 41 competitive matches, winning the league golden boot and helping the team win the league title, and it is this player that Tuchel wants to bring in......

"If Gomez is in such good form, why didn't Dortmund bring him in?" The fat man was puzzled.

"There are three reasons: first, Gomez is 31 years old this year and is past his prime; The second is that Gomez wants to sign a long-term contract, as this may be his last professional contract; The third is that the salary he asks for is relatively high, and these three points are not in line with Dortmund's team building ideas, so Dortmund management gave up signing Gomez...... Mendes explained, "and you, young and talented, fit Dortmund's team building ideas, so they finally signed you ......"

'It's a shame I'm not Tuchel's player......' the fat man sighed.

"Yes, it's true that you're not, but it's not your fault! Borussia Dortmund's buying is about the future, while coach Tuchel is looking at the present, so in essence, Dortmund's sporting director Zorc and Tuchel have a huge difference in the concept of recruitment. Originally, Tuchel wanted to buy German international Gomez for 7 million euros, but Zorge spent 30 million euros to buy you, which shows how big the difference is; Of course, there are other reasons, such as the sale of people, the two also have differences, Tuchel wants to keep last year's main squad, but Zorke sold the likes of Mitaryan and Gundogan, because Zork does not want to renew the contract with these people with high salaries, and Dortmund is now a membership-based listed company, and profitability and financial balance are always the club's top priorities, so Tuchel and Zorge are almost irreconcilable contradictions due to their different positions...... Mendes said, "and you are a player that Zorke boughtIt's too hard to get Tuchel to like you......"

The fat man has to cooperate with Mendes's great powers, don't look at the fat man has joined Dortmund for almost half a year, and the fat man's understanding of the club is not as clear as Mendes.

"Thank you for the explanation, Jorge, I know what to do!" The fat man replied.

"Pong, although Tuchel doesn't like you, he may also change his mind slowly, because Borussia Dortmund CEO Watzke and sporting director Zolke have publicly expressed their support for you in the media, and the reason they support you is because you won the European Golden Boy Award, so Tuchel may be under pressure from the club to renew his ......relationship with you," Mendes cautioned.

'I'm not going to renew my relationship with Tuchel, we've been hostile since I joined Dortmund, and we're going to continue to be hostile until I leave Dortm......und,' said the fat man.

"Pang, you're right, you have to do it in order to complete your plan to move to Manchester United in the winter!" Mendez instructed.

The fat man hung up the phone, not at peace in his heart. The fat man thought about reconciling with Tuchel, but now it's not possible.

The fat man was still slowly digesting what Mendes had said, when the phone rang again, this time it was Dortmund sporting director Zorke.

"Hey, Pong, are you resting?" Zolke asked.

"Nope!" The fat man replied, "Mr. Zolke, it's so late, you call me, is there anything wrong?" The fat man asked.

"There's nothing special about it, I just want to tell you a piece of good news!" "Borussia Dortmund FC has decided to develop you as a core player in the team, and we hope that you can stay at Dortmund for a long time, and the club will do its best to create a good playing environment for you......"

"Thanks, I'll think about it!" The fat man said calmly.

'Pong, I know you have a conflict with Coach Tuchel and it was because of me that you didn't get justice in the team. I've tried to persuade Coach Tuchel to give you an equal chance, but he doesn't listen to me and I can't interfere with his work, so that's why we were in the situation we were in and now that the club has decided to establish you as a key player in the squad, I don't think you will be treated unfairly in the future......,' Zork explained.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Zolke!" The fat man thanked him.

"Pang, the current difficulties are all temporary, and I believe that you can overcome them. And I and the club's CEO, Mr. Watzke, will fully support you and we are confident that you will be successful in Dortmund......" Zork encouraged.

"I'll try." The fat man said.

"Pang, it's great that you can think like this, good luck!" Zolke hung up.

Putting down the phone, the fat man's heart was even more chaotic. Originally, because of the bad relationship with coach Tuchel, the fat man had made up his mind to leave Dortmund, but now Zolke's retention and the resolution of the contradiction have made the fat man's situation in Dortmund brighter again, which makes the fat man's heart a little entangled.

However, the fat man finally decides to live up to Zolke's kindness, because of Caroline's wishes. Originally, if Caroline hadn't happened, the fat man might have changed his mind, but now that Caroline's incident had happened, the fat man couldn't convince himself to turn back.

Although she had told Zhang Yuwei her thoughts before, after the German class, Zhang Yuwei still left with a resentful look, Zhang Yuwei actually did not want the fat man to leave in the winter, she preferred the fat man to stay in Dortmund for a season, so that she could have a lot of time to stay by the fat man's side.

After Zhang Yuwei left, the fat man took a shower and brushed his teeth to prepare for rest. I just lay down on the bed, but I didn't expect the phone to ring again, this time Rita, she also called the fat man tonight.

"Pang, are you resting?" Rita asked softly.

"No, there are too many calls tonight, and I haven't had time yet, I just got down in bed." The fat man replied.

"Did Anna call you tonight?" Rita asked suddenly.

"Nope." The fat man replied truthfully.

"That's good, you will turn off the phone after I call, otherwise I estimate that it will be difficult for you to rest early, and many reporters are now asking about your rest." Rita broke the news.

The fat man knew that Rita called tonight, probably because of something in the newspaper, after all, Mendes's action must have had an extraordinary impact on the European football world.

"Pang, did you authorize what Mr. Mendez said in the media?" Rita asked.

"It's not my mandate, but it's exactly what I want to say." The fat man told the truth.

"Pang, if a reporter asks you this question, you'd better not admit it, just say that your agent did it himself!" Rita reminded that "you and your agent should sing red face and you white face so that you don't face hostility from the club and the fans......"

"Thanks for the reminder, Rita, I remembered!" The fat man said gratefully.

"Pong, you played at Dortmund FC and really didn't get justice from the club and they owe you an apology. Now that both Mr. Watzke and Mr. Zolke are speaking in the media, will you accept their belated goodwill? Rita continued.

"Rita, do you think I should accept it?" The fat man asked rhetorically.

"I think so, because after all you have to stay at Dortmund for at least one season, in order to play better, you should"

Accept! Rita suggested.

"Rita, I might ......," the fat man told Rita the truth.

"Pang, what do you want to say?" Rita asked.

"Nothing! Rita rest early, if I have any ideas, I'll let you know in advance. The fat man finally held back.

Hung up the phone, and the fat man couldn't sleep anymore.

'Hey, Mendes, Dortmund Club, Zhang Yuwei and Rita, these relatives and friends around them, they don't want their brother to leave, they all hope that their brother can stay, but unfortunately my brother has made a promise to Caroline, so he has to tell them about it. The fat man was on the ceiling of the house.
