Chapter 127: Professional Contract! (below)
Olaf Marshall told Ni Tu on the sidelines that the team was going to sign him, and the background was that Ni Tu had just scored a brace in the confrontation match.
Ni Tu explored on his own without too detailed guidance, and tried to adapt to the rhythm of the game on the German side under the unfavorable conditions that his body was not strong. And Ni Tu has a lot less troubles, and after the time is too relaxed, his performance has begun to improve significantly!
Originally, Marshall wanted to pick up Ni Tu again, but since Ni Tu's performance has begun to show a trend of improvement, he can't help but give up his previous thoughts.
At present, the job he has to do is to sign Ni Tu first, according to his assistant, Ni Tu has already made his own choice on his own, temporarily slowing down his studies and concentrating on football.
The team made the decision to sign him a month in advance.
With the first team's record not improving very well, and the manager busy with the most important promotion of the team, there is no time to care about the signing of an amateur player.
Since it's a second-tier team, it's up to the team and second-tier coach Olaf Marshall to do this inconsequential thing.
Earlier, when Marshall revealed his intention to sign Ni Tu to the club, it was not without doubts. Sign up with an amateur student, and it's strange if there is no doubt!
But Marshall has been trying to persuade the team to sign Ni Tu. Fortunately, Marshall is not an insignificant figure in the club, he is the main striker in the team's glory days, the team is famous, and has a very good relationship with the manager, and now serves as the head coach of the team's second-tier team, when he submitted the information he learned and the performance information of Ni Tu in training to the team, he received the attention that the club deserved, and some managers and scouts have evaluated and felt that there is value in signing Ni Tu.
At this time, the signing of a Chinese player is not yet focused on the practical economic benefits that his nationality can bring to the team, Kaiserslautern Football Club initially assessed him as "can be cultivated".
In the last evaluation before the signing, Marshall's evaluation of Ni Tu was that he could play for the club's first team and had the potential to become the main player of the ball, and the team's evaluation of him was a notch lower than Marshall's, the key is that the team doubted that Ni Tu's physique could adapt well to the professional league, after all, this young man was too thin.
Ni Tu stood in front of Marshall like this, and he still had the sweat on his body that he had time to wipe off after the exercise. The signing of the contract seemed to Ni Tu as a reward for his choice to concentrate on football, rather than a personal recognition of him. Of course, he will be happy, because at least he is no longer simply working hard for his dreams, and now his dreams are supported by reality, which is indeed a happy thing.
Marshall said to Ni Tu: "Although this sentence is a bit nonsense, it is not enough, it seems that I should still ask you, do you have an agent?" If you have an agent, you need it now. ”
"Sorry, coach, I don't have an agent............"
"Then you need to come yourself, if you feel that you can and don't need help, for you now, the first contract in your life is not a hassle." There was a hint of sarcasm in Marshall's words.
When he came to Marshall's office, Marshall simply said "please be seated", and the two sides began this very simple signing ceremony.
"You take a look at it first, the contract is very simple, fully considering your German level, and the club has asked someone to prepare a Chinese version of the comparison table for you." After speaking, Marshall paused, in order to leave enough time for Ni Tu to browse.
Ni Tu took a brief look at his contract, and some important information was that the club gave him a contract with a monthly salary of 2,000 euros, which was almost 4 times the amount of his odd jobs in a Chinese restaurant, which was not a high salary for the second-team players, and even some were low; The contract is for 3 years, which is decent, not long, and it seems that they still want to be on the safe side.
Ni Tu's first professional contract in his life was in front of him, but he didn't sign it right away.
Since the club offered to sign a contract with him, Ni Tu decided to tell Marshall some information in an honest manner, and he said to Marshall in a slightly more fluent German than before: "Mr. coach, I think I need to remind you that I was seriously injured when I was training in football in our country, do you need to do a medical examination?" ”
Marshall stared at Ni Tu and said after a long while, "Okay! ”……
Ni Tu came home and looked at Mrs. Flender Richie, who was preparing dinner, and Flender Richie, who had just returned home, and he felt the need to tell them the news: "Uncle Flender, I was interviewed by the coach today, and they want to sign a professional contract with me!" ”
When Flander Lixi heard this, he excitedly stood up and hugged Ni Tu, he was so happy that he seemed a little incoherent, "Ni Tu, really?" That's great, congratulations! You've lived up to expectations! Mrs. Flender Rich also came, and she behaved like her husband.
At dinner, Flender Richie had another reason to drink to celebrate, Ni Tu simply drank a little with him, and then did not continue to drink, in fact, maybe if he really practiced wine, the amount of alcohol would be very large.
"There's also going to be a medical process and I told Coach Marshall that he had a serious injury when he was back home.
Flender Richie did not stand on the club's position at this time, but spoke for Ni Tu: "Ni, you are so honest, if you don't say this kind of thing, it is difficult to verify, and the team will not care too much about your body at that time, sometimes people always have subjective judgments." “
He was worried about Ni Tu's signing process, and Ni Tu comforted Flender Lixi: "Actually, I have already checked it in China, and there is no problem, whether they check it or not is their business, whether I say it is my business or not, this is a matter of principle." ”
"You are more German than Germans, you are really old-fashioned......" Flender Lich was speechless for a while, but he still admired Ni Tu's style in his heart, "Work hard, I wish you a smooth career in the future!" Would you like another drink with me? ”
"No! Ha ha! ”……
On March 20, 2009, it was the spring equinox of the Chinese lunar calendar, because of Ni Tu's explanation, the team conducted a certain physical examination on him and found that there was no problem, and the two sides officially signed the contract documents.
Ni Tu's transfer to Kaiserslautern, in fact, the news of Kaiserslautern II did not attract attention. Since the club didn't take the signing too seriously, they seemed to have waited symbolically for a tofu-cube-sized piece of news on the club's website, even if it was the news of the team's new signings.
There was no group photo, no press conference, and Ni Tu's signing was not even an internal notice. But it was indeed the most significant stroke in Kaiserslautern's history since the mythical clinking of cups in '98, but they didn't realise the importance of this signing.
When they look back at this history, they don't know what kind of mood it is.
And for Ni Tu, his Kaiserslautern career began, and his career officially began after a long time ago! What greeted him was a green world of thousands of purples and reds, and a football life that coexisted with the trough!
