Chapter 21: Goal from the bench

As for Cheng Hai's shooting skills, as the opponents who met for the first time, the players of Lott did not know this.

Judging from the performance in the first few minutes, they all thought that Cheng Hai was really like his No. 99 shirt number, completely marginal, and the Dortmund players would not pass it to him even if they took the ball.

They were really paralyzed by the cooperation of Cheng Hai and his teammates in the past few minutes.

Therefore, just when the Lott players thought that Nuri Shahin, who was holding the ball outside the right corner of the penalty area, would pass the ball to Lewandowski, who had rushed into the right rib of the penalty area, or Shinji Kagawa near the bottom line, Shahin turned his ankle and sent the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.

There, there is a gap for the blockbuster.

The nearest player from Lott was also on the penalty spot, and was facing the right side to defend Lewandowski, with his back to the direction of the left rib of the penalty area.

And Cheng Hai, who was walking outside the penalty area and looked harmless, suddenly started a moment before Shahin passed the ball, shook off the Lott defenders around him who were not focused on him, and rushed into the penalty area.

Although Cheng Hai and Shaheen are not really teammates yet, and although the two have not yet trained any coordination tactics together, Shahin's vision and determination as Dortmund's main striker, as well as Cheng Hai's 17-point off-ball movement and 15-point grabbing ability, inadvertently created this wonderful cooperation.

When Cheng Hai rushed to the left side of the penalty area, Shahin's clever pass was just in place, Cheng Hai didn't need to make adjustments, he picked up his right leg directly in the run, and volleyed the ball to the near corner.

When Cheng Hai was about to shoot, the Lott defender who ran from the penalty spot also came to a flying tackle to block his shot.

Unfortunately, he turned around at the penalty spot and ran a step too late.

When Cheng Hai's shot was completed, his flying tackle was in place.

The ball flew just in front of his toes and raced towards the bottom left corner of the goal at breakneck speed.

Cheng Hai's 19-point physique brings very good shooting power, and the ball speed is extremely fast.

Although the goalkeeper rushed from the right to the left when Nuri Shaheen passed the ball to Cheng Hai, he still couldn't save the shot in the end.

The ball grazed the fingers of the Lott goalkeeper and slid into the bottom left corner against the left post.

Just five minutes after Lewandowski's 48th-minute goal last time out, Dortmund scored again to make it 2-1.

And the goal this time was also a player who had just come on the bench in the second half: No. 99 Cheng Hai.

After scoring the goal, Cheng Hai rushed to the sidelines excitedly and shouted with his forearms.

As a result, he was standing just below the stands where hundreds of Borussia Dortmund fans were standing.

They didn't care about Cheng Hai's skin color and hair, they only saw Cheng Hai score for Dortmund and reversed the score.

Therefore, seeing Cheng Hai running over, the fans all shouted at Cheng Hai excitedly, or applauded and screamed, cheering for his goal.

A handful of people also shouted his name on the back of his jersey.

Looking at the Dort fans in the stands who applauded and cheered for him, Cheng Hai felt extremely satisfied.

In addition, teammates also gathered around to congratulate Cheng Hai on his first goal in the friendly match in Dortmund.

With Cheng Hai's performance in training during this period of time, as well as the goal in this friendly match, everyone has realized that Cheng Hai's trial is likely to pass, sign a contract with Dortmund, and become an official teammate with them.

If you don't believe me, you can look at Klopp who nodded and applauded on the sidelines.

Although Cheng Hai's physical fitness is a big problem, Cheng Hai's superb archery skills to the extreme can completely make up for this shortcoming.

Even if Cheng Hai is only given twenty or thirty minutes of substitute time in a game, he may be able to complete the goal.

It's a super-substitute like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It's a crime not to sign it.

Therefore, with the birth of Cheng Hai's first goal in the friendly match, the Dortmund players accepted him even more without barriers.

This made Cheng Hai feel very happy.

What made him even happier was that the goal system rewarded him with 5,000 points of experience, which was simply too generous.

If he scores one more goal, plus the final win of the game and gets a 10,000 winning reward, he can move up another level with this friendly match.

Thinking of this, Cheng Hai, who had played a high-intensity game for a few minutes and was a little tired, was suddenly full of strength again.

However, Cheng Hai's idea of scoring another goal did not come to fruition in the end.

Despite the constant attempts of his team-mates to pass him the ball and allow him to finish the shot. But after scoring a goal, Lot's marking of Cheng Hai was quite tight.

And Cheng Hai, who played such a high-intensity game for the first time, was a little uncomfortable with both running and passing.

The physical exertion is also very high.

In the end, as Klopp imagined, even though his physical fitness improved with the help of the physical trainer during this time, Cheng Hai still looked like he was about to cramp his thigh after only playing for 20 minutes, and he couldn't take a walk.

Such a Cheng Hai, even if he has 17 points without the ball, it is useless at all, because he can't run!

Even if you run, you can't get rid of the opponent's defense.

Instead, it was the other Dortmund players who showed the true quality of the Bundesliga giants during this time, with captain Kehl extending the score to 3-1 with a long-range shot from outside the box from behind in the 62nd minute.

And Cheng Hai, who almost didn't play any role in this attack, was completely transparent.

There was no way, Klopp could only replace Cheng Hai with Bulgarian striker Langelov in the 67th minute.

Fortunately, when he was on the field, Klopp took the initiative to hug Cheng Hai and beckoned Fu Hangyi over, and then said something that made Cheng Hai overjoyed under Fu Hangyi's translation: "Good performance!" Go back tonight and get ready, and come with me to the office tomorrow to sign a professional contract. ”

Cheng Hai was immediately overjoyed, thanked Klopp, and then went to the side with Fu Hangyi to celebrate.

Other teammates on the bench also congratulated Cheng Hai and welcomed him to Dortmund. Only fellow strikers Langalof, Le Tale and others were a little unpleasant.

Because, if the team adds a striker, it will reduce their playing time, and it is even possible to sell them.

In particular, Langelof, who wore the number 9 shirt, transferred from Ketbus to Dortmund for 1 million euros last season, made six appearances and scored 0 goals, which has already caused dissatisfaction among the club and fans, and he has heard the news that the club's management wants to sell him this summer.

Now as soon as Klopp heard that he was going to sign Cheng Hai, a new striker for trial, the fear that he would be sold was even stronger.

However, Langalof's future has nothing to do with Cheng Hai.

In the next time, Cheng Hai was immersed in the joy of signing Dortmund, and he didn't even watch the game.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Lot 5-1 away with five goals in the second half, and finally fought back in the second half after conceding a goal in the first half, saving the face of a Bundesliga giant.

After the game, Cheng Hai was rewarded with 10,000 experience for winning experience. However, the system does not reward the best player of the match.

Obviously, in the evaluation of the system, Cheng Hai, who was replaced after only 22 minutes of play, was not the best player in this game.

Despite this, Cheng Hai was not disappointed.

After all, he scored and was endorsed by Jurgen Klopp and is about to sign.

That's the biggest takeaway from this game.

After returning to the station by car, the excited Fu Hangyi wanted to call back to school to report the good news, but was stopped by Cheng Hai.

It's not that Cheng Hai is more calm than Fu Hangyi as a teacher, it's just that he has a system plug-in and is more confident in his future than Fu Hangyi.

At this time, Cheng Hai had almost calmed down from the excitement when he first heard that Klopp was going to sign with him, and began to think about the conditions of the signing.

Although it is good to be able to sign with Dortmund, you can't sign someone else without a bottom line.

With a system plug-in, his future is not only about Dortmund and the Bundesliga.

Therefore, in terms of contract, it must not be restricted too much, and there must be room for a smooth exit in the future, such as liquidated damages or something.

This determines that tomorrow's signing is not what the club will agree to Cheng Hai, and the signing may not be smooth.

Therefore, Cheng Hai stopped Fu Hangyi.

Of course, the apparent reason is also very grandiose: "Teacher Fu, I think it's better to wait until tomorrow when the contract is signed and the dust settles." Otherwise, if you call back and the school reveals it to the reporter, and there is any accident on our side tomorrow, the school will lose face. ”

Fu Hangyi thought about it, and he resisted the impulse in his heart.

After all, he was a teacher, and after holding back the ecstasy in his heart, Fu Hangyi also began to think about what he had to pay attention to in this signing.

The two discussed for a while and discussed some bottom-line conditions, and when the time came, they needed to argue with the club.

Of course, in Fu Hangyi's view, some of Cheng Hai's conditions are really a bit outrageous, but it is also difficult for Cheng Hai to bite to death and these conditions are necessary.

For example, Cheng Hai proposed that liquidated damages must be added, even if the salary is a little lower.

However, Fu Hangyi felt that Cheng Hai, who was only 18 years old, did not need to add liquidated damages. Even if you don't leave Dortmund, it's definitely worth playing at Dortmund for three or five years.

You must know that before, except for Dong Fangzhuo, no Chinese player has joined the Champions League club!

In Fu Hangyi's opinion, it would be good to sign a contract with Dortmund, but Cheng Hai still wants to leave? And thinking that other clubs will help him pay liquidated damages and leave?

Fu Hangyi felt that Cheng Hai was a little arrogant.

However, in essence, he has always been just a translator sent by the school to assist Cheng Hai, and Cheng Hai, who has reached the age of 18, has the right to decide his own affairs, and he can only suggest from the side.

Since Cheng Hai didn't listen, he couldn't do anything.

The next morning, after Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi arrived at the training ground, they did not join the training.

After Klopp arranged today's training program, he took them to the club's office building and led them into a small conference room, where the club's general manager and athletics director, lawyers, and a German Chinese interpreter were waiting for them.

For a young player like Cheng Hai, as long as the head coach approves it, he can sign a contract, and the general manager and others will not ask much.

And the contract conditions are generally relatively simple.

They already knew the basic situation of Cheng Hai, and knew that he was an amateur player of Huaguo University students, who was recommended by Emmori for a trial, and his physical fitness was very poor.

In their minds, Cheng Hai should be very happy and eager to get Klopp's recognition and the opportunity to sign a contract with the Hornets.

They thought that as long as they took out the Chinese-German bilingual contract that the Chinese translator and the lawyer had made together, and asked Cheng Hai to read it and sign it, it might not take more than an hour to get it done.

Klopp had thought so.

He thought it wouldn't take long to get it done, and then he wanted to take Cheng Hai to continue training!

Unexpectedly, this 18-year-old Chinese amateur player did not play according to the routine.

He actually read it seriously word by word with Fu Hangyi, the translator he brought with him, and discussed it in a low voice from time to time, as if he didn't agree with some of the terms in the contract.

Klopp and the general manager and the others immediately looked at each other.

Seeing that Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi had been looking at the contract, not muttering, Klopp was a little unhappy under the gaze of the general manager and others.

The general manager and others looked at Klopp's eyes with a hint of doubt: "Why does this young player you bring seem to ask for a lot and don't want to sign?" ”

And Klopp, probably thinking in his heart: "It's good that I can pass your trial and bring you to sign a contract, but I'm still picking?" ”

But in front of Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi, it was difficult for both parties to say it directly.

So, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, seeing that Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi were still discussing the contract, Klopp couldn't sit still first, got up and left after saying hello, and went directly to the training ground.

After more than half an hour, Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi read the contract word by word and discussed some of its terms.

Then, Cheng Hai raised objections to the 6-year contract period, no liquidated damages, and the share of image spokespersons.

On the contrary, Cheng Hai did not raise any objections to the weekly salary of only 2,000 euros, as if he was quite satisfied.

In fact, Cheng Hai is really satisfied.

At this time, the exchange rate of the euro against the yuan, 2,000 euros is equivalent to about 20,000 yuan.

When he came to Europe this time, his parents emptied their savings and only took out 50,000 yuan to pay for his air tickets and room and board.

As long as you sign a contract, you can earn this fee back in less than a month.

Cheng Hai is already satisfied.

What's more, he knows his future and has a great future, and there is no need to bargain with the club on the weekly salary.

Of course, at this time, he was not qualified to ask for a price.

It's just that the liquidated damages clause, the contract period, etc., involve his future, so he must fight.

Therefore, he has no problem at all with a little less salary.

For example, liquidated damages, without this clause, the club can ask for a sky-high price for the giants who want to introduce him, and finally hinder Cheng Hai's transfer.

Even directly defining Cheng Hai as "not for sale" can lock Cheng Hai in Dortmund for three or four years.

If there is a liquidated damages, the club that intends to lead the sea can directly take him away with liquidated damages.

For Cheng Hai, this is undoubtedly a very much-needed clause.

Because he understands that with the help of the system plug-in, he will improve very quickly, and it will definitely be beyond the imagination of the Dortmund club management.

There is also a contract period, and he doesn't want to sign for 6 years, at most 4 years.

The image endorsement is shared, backed by the Chinese market, and in less than a season, his image endorsement fee will soar to a very high level.

I would rather have a lower salary and bonuses, and this must be sought.

However, when Cheng Hai said his request, the general manager of Dortmund and others had a ghostly expression, and even said that it was impossible.

For a young player who has been an amateur player and has not proven himself at all, it is impossible for them to give a liquidated damages clause, too low a contract period, etc.

In their common sense, Cheng Hai is only 18 years old to pass the trial age, if the contract period is too low, I am afraid that Cheng Hai has just emerged, and before the price has been completely raised, he will be bought by Bayern or other European giants.

That's undoubtedly a very bad deal.

Therefore, a longer contract period is conducive to improving their control and bargaining power over Cheng Hai.

On the contrary, the annual salary, they said that it could be increased a little, or even a certain percentage every year, but the liquidated damages clause and the contract period could not be changed.

As for the share of image endorsements, they believe that Cheng Hai, a young player, should not have too high value for the time being, and they can make a little concession to Cheng Hai.

The two sides have been arguing back and forth for a long time, but they still can't talk about it at all.

In the end, the head of the athletic department took the initiative to suspend the negotiation and let Cheng Hai go to training first. Anyway, the season hasn't started yet, the trial hasn't ended yet, so you can talk slowly.

In this way, Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi left the office building and returned to the training ground.

On the way back to the training ground, Fu Hangyi was a little resentful.

Even though it had been discussed the night before, it was obvious that Fu Hangyi still couldn't figure it out.

In his mind, it would be good for a Chinese college student amateur player to sign with a Bundesliga giant like Borussia Dortmund, where are there so many conditions?

Fu Hangyi was afraid that the suspension of this negotiation would become a permanent termination, and he would never be able to sign the contract again, and he would have to go home in the end, which would be a pity.

Cheng Hai comforted Fu Hangyi and said, "Teacher Fu, don't be like this!" Be happy! They also only suspended the negotiations, and did not refuse to negotiate. Believe me, as long as I continue to do well in the next training and warm-up games, Klopp will convince them to accept my terms. ”

Fu Hangyi rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know where you got your confidence?" You know, this is already the top five league clubs that have won the Champions League, I don't know what else you want? To put it nicely, you call it self-confidence. If it doesn't sound good, you're called arrogant. ”

Cheng Hai didn't explain too much, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart!" You'll see how I do in the next races! ”

Fu Hangyi shook his head, and could only reluctantly accept this result.

Fortunately, he was not directly kicked out of the training base, and Cheng Hai still has the possibility of continuing to perform and conquer the club.
