γChapter error, click here to reportγ
This meal was probably the most uncomfortable meal Park Joo-ho had ever had in his life. Because no one spoke to him, and no one answered what he said, it was as if he did not exist, except that the food on his plate was constantly dwindling.
Now he regretted it a little, and if I had gone home, I might have slept in bed by now. Can ...... now
In fact, since Park Joo-ho joined Dortmund, Lin Yi has said no more than ten words to him.
And in the case of new players joining, the captain's regular welcome speech and the passing of some matters.
I don't know if it's because Lin Yi has something to say first, or because other players in Dortmund don't like him, in short, everyone in the club has nothing to say to him, and he has been joining Dortmund for more than two months, and Park Joo-ho doesn't seem to be able to integrate at all.
To say that Lin Yi asked everyone to ignore him, it was indeed a bit too much, except for victory, Lin Yi was not so serious about anything.
But think about it from another angle, when Lin Yi and Park Joo Ho and Tuchel had conflicts on the field several times, Dortmund was almost the current group of players, at that time Lin Yi was not the captain of the team, but a newcomer that everyone cared about and loved, because of this, the Dort players themselves had a bad impression of Park Joo Ho. In addition, everyone also knows about the mentoring relationship between Park Joo Ho and Tuchel, and Park Joo Ho did not show a convincing performance. Therefore, a large number of people even feel that Park Joo-ho, who was born in a relegated team in the Bundesliga, should have relied on Tuchel's nepotism to come to Dort.
The meal ended in a polarizing atmosphere, Castro, who provided Lin Yi with an assist today, is a German international, and he is very happy with the captain, so he seems to have integrated well into the atmosphere of Dortmund.
As for Park Joo-ho's side, he felt like he was just a passer-by because there was no place to share a table in the restaurant.
After eating and drinking, everyone left, some went home, and some went out to enjoy the good time after the victory.
At present, Dortmund's points situation is good, at least much better than at the same time last season, and many people feel very satisfied.
No matter what others think, Lin Yi still feels a little inadequate. This season, other teams in the Bundesliga have generally been poached by giants in other leagues, and according to the normal level of strength, perhaps we should have the same record as Bayern.
Lin Yi couldn't help but think of their head coach again with boredom, if it weren't for this brain-dead incompetence......
Fortunately, as soon as he thought of this, Lin Yi had already returned home, and when he saw Eva leaning on the sofa and waiting for him to go home, Lin Yi was in a good mood, and picked up Eva, who was already sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, and Lin Yi took a shower and went back to the room to sleep.
Lin Yi generally doesn't do too much training on his current rest days, because his physical condition is very good, and from a scientific training point of view, proper rest is also more conducive to the improvement of his state.
Looking at the time on his phone, he just turned over and was about to sleep for a while, who would have thought that the phone would suddenly ring.
Lin Yi, who was startled, hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to prevent the noise from Eva, who had not woken up yet.
As a result, when he looked at the phone screen, Lin Yi was stunned again. Zidane? This guy called me again, what's the matter?
Thinking about it, Lin got out of bed and slipped into the living room, lying down on the sofa before answering the phone.
"What's wrong? What is it that is looking for me this time? Lin Yi asked with his eyes closed.
"It's still the same old thing, but this time it's decided. Benitez was supposed to be out of class next week or so, and I took over. After that's confirmed, don't I have to contact you again? Now everything is ready, you know the character of Galeries Lafayette, and the money has already arrived, as long as you nod, our side will start to contact Dortmund. β
"Nope. Zinedin, I really don't want to leave Dortmund. Even you went to Madrid after Juventus got results, didn't you? That kind of transfer doesn't mean that anyone will say anything, and my transfer is like a loser who has fled. β
"Lin. It's not the same anymore, and a lot of the time it looks like it's a business after business, whether it's the transfer of players or the operation of a team. In the past, you may be able to improve yourself first and then join a wealthy family, but now, entering a wealthy family is already the best way to improve yourself. When you come to Madrid, as long as you can win the Champions League once, whether it is worth or anything else, there will be a huge improvement. β
"But what if I can win the Champions League once at Dortmund? Isn't everything going to be different? β
Zidane was stunned, and for a moment he thought that Lin Yi was joking with himself.
It's no wonder that the Champions League has looked more and more like the personal belongings of the giants in recent years.
There are several giants that you can compete for, but to put it simply, these clubs are competing over and over again.
"You...... Is it serious? Zidane asked Lin Yi in disbelief.
"Of course I'm serious, I'm taking my point very seriously." Lin Yi wasn't joking in the first place.
"In that case, I'm still saying that no matter what offseason it is, I'm going to welcome you with open arms."
"Hopefully there will never be this day." Lin Yi laughed, but Zidane on the other side of the phone could only smile bitterly.
He naturally understood what Lin Yi meant, and when the two first met, he knew that although Lin Yi respected every veteran and retired player very much, he was also a die-hard fan of Barcelona, so his attitude towards Real Madrid was always wait-and-see.
"But if you want me to say, your chances in Dortmund are a little too few, don't you think?"
"Aha. You say this, we're saving strength for the second half, don't you see that? β
Although Lin Yi agreed with Zidane's statement in his heart, and also made up his mind to talk to the club's senior management about this matter, this is a confidential issue within the club after all, so some things cannot be said explicitly anyway.
"Then good luck until the moment before Dortmund actually play Real Madrid."
"Good luck too, Zinedin, and I hope you try not to run into us."
Don't look at Lin Yi's current situation, but this cruel remark is very imposing and has a very strong position.
Maybe it's time for me to talk to Michelle, I can't just go on like this.
Lin Yi stretched and found Zolke's phone in his mobile phone.
After Klopp's departure, the relationship between Lin Yi and Zolke does not seem to be as close as before. By the time Tuchel took over Dortmund, the two people who could have been called old friends seemed to have completely become superiors and subordinates.
But it's not a problem with their relationship, it's just that the bond between them has broken.
"Michelle. It's me, are you free today? I have something I want to talk to you about. Lin Yi's tone was very polite.
It's so polite that Zolke is a little uncomfortable, is this kid still blaming me for not saving Jurgen, or because of Tuchel.
"If you're free, I'm in the office right now, if you come to me during the day, we'll see you in the office, if it's afternoon, after I get off work, we can go out and have a drink, and we haven't had a drink in a while, right?"
"Then I'll go to you first during the day, after all, it's an important matter after all, and it's not suitable to discuss at the wine table. See you in one minute. β
After Lin Yi left a suspense like this, he hung up the phone directly, got up to change his clothes, and prepared to go out.
Lin Yi, who had a very clear sense of time, arrived at Zorke's office at ten o'clock in the morning.
In fact, he is no stranger to this office, and the new contract was signed here.
"Here we are. Sit down, what's the matter? Go ahead. Zolke handed Lin Yi a cup of coffee and went straight to the point.
Lin leaned back on the sofa, "Michelle, the reason why I came is actually very simple, I just want to ask what our club is aiming for this season. β
Zorke didn't expect Lin Yiyi to ask him such a serious question as soon as he came up, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have thought about this problem.
But after all, I am the manager and the team's athletic director, so I can't show my heart in this kind of problem.
"Last season we won the German Super Cup, the German Cup and the Europa League, which is a big game, and we have won the German Super Cup since the beginning of this season. However, the domestic German Cup will definitely not be the goal we strive for, so we still have to strive for a breakthrough in the league and the Champions League in the new season. Because of the Europa League participation system, let's not think about defending the title. β
"What is a breakthrough in the so-called breakthrough?" Lin Yi's expression today was also very serious, and he asked very seriously.
"In the league, we haven't won a title in a couple of seasons. For the team that has carved the name of the team on the salad plate, only winning the championship should be satisfied. As for the Champions League, it is true that it has not been won for some years, so the Champions League has always been the team's established goal, and we may not be able to do it in the eyes of some opponents, but I think the Champions League is a variable game, so we can't think about it so simply, we must fight to see. β
"Oh. That's right, it makes sense, but why don't I see such a trend and don't feel such thoughts now? β
Lin Yi's straightforwardness made Zolke feel a little difficult to deal with, because since Lin Yi joined, whether it was an absolute newcomer in the first season or a young captain who was appointed in the second season, he has always spoken softly.
Is it because another team has contacted him and he is ready to leave during the winter break? Or is there some other reason?
"Michelle, I know what you think. It was true that I was contacted by a team, but I really didn't want to leave Dortmund. β
"This season's game, if you take a closer look, you should be able to see that we can't beat any of the stronger opponents, can we? Such a performance cannot compete with Bayern Munich. As for the Champions League, if you want to play against a team like Barcelona or Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, that's not bad, because we can get out early and have the energy to deal with the teams in the bottom half of the Bundesliga, and I don't have a problem with that. And if I've always been aiming to beat the underdogs, I'm going to have a lot easier this season. β
Lin Yi said it so lightly, although every word he said was very heart-wrenching.
"This ......"
"In fact, Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola have contacted me no less than five times in the past two seasons, but I have always stayed at Dortmund. It's because I'm grateful to Borussia Dortmund for giving me a place when I came out of Ligue 1 and I could have no ball to play, but more because I think we're a team that wants to win and will work hard to win. However, after two seasons, the manager changed from Jurgen to Thomas Tuchel. I find that we don't seem to have this kind of pursuit now, and we can score points with weak teams? Giving points to a strong team? Isn't that what a midstream team does? Isn't Dortmund the strongest club in the Bundesliga other than Bayern? When did you become a mid-table team? Michelle. β
Zorke was just about to speak, when Lin Yi's mobile phone on the table in front of him suddenly rang.
But this time the call was not from a coach, nor from the club's hierarchy, but from the players.
Looking at Neymar displayed on the mobile phone screen, Zolk certainly wouldn't think that Neymar came to Dortmund to let Lin Yi entertain him, nor did he think that Neymar invited Lin Yi to go to some carnival party.
Lin Yi was actually stunned, he didn't know what Neymar was calling him for at this time.
Zorke finally pointed to Lin Yi's mobile phone, "Take it, it's okay." β
Lin Yi smiled at Zolke and picked up the phone.
"Lin, I don't think you have had any opportunities to play recently, so you might as well consider coming to us. Let me first state to you, this call was not made to you by myself, it was made by Leo and Andres and Luis. β
Lin was stunned for a moment, which Louis?
"Also, our chairman and manager are very interested in you, so I hope you can consider it. In terms of salary, I don't dare to give you any guarantees, but if you want to talk about opportunities, there must be a lot of them. Luiz's rotation system, you know, you're in such a good fit and there are a lot of opportunities. β
Although Lin Yi did not go out, Neymar's voice was not small, and Zorke's office was quite large, so it was very quiet at the moment, so Neymar's words Zorke could also hear it clearly.
No way?! These clubs don't get in touch with us, and they actually let people directly turn against our players, which is too much!
"This ...... Let's talk about it. If I'm interested, I'll let the agent get in touch with me. β
"Ah, don't wait, you head coach, I don't need to say it, you can't see it at your level? Don't look at how well he's playing now, when he meets Pep Guardiola, or meets a slightly stronger manager and team in the Champions League, he can only be played to death. Instead of wasting your youth with him, it is better to come to us to create a new era together! Don't you think it's exciting to think about? β
For Neymar who can't stop here, Lin Yi has nothing to stop it, after all, to a certain extent, Neymar is also for his own good.
"Brother, I have something to do here, I'll go back to you later, and I'll invite you to dinner when we have time." Hang up first. β
Lin Yi's words were actually just a polite remark to deal with Neymar, but in the ears of Zolke, who was a little suspicious, he heard an unusual meaning.
When I go back a little later, is it to discuss these details, and then meet and have dinner when I have time? So Lin is really tempted by Barcelona's invitation?
Zorke, who was just a little embarrassed by Lin Yi's questioning, suddenly panicked.
