Chapter 466: Lin Yi's Wish
The three of them are discussing the attitude of the club here, and the attitude of the players is actually being discussed on the club side.
Tuchel's dressing room looks to be spiraling out of hand, and his relationship with the big names is frighteningly strained.
Coaches are important to clubs, but in many cases, there are some players whose opinions should never be ignored.
Zorke expressed his views to Watzke, and then stood silent, waiting for the president's instructions.
Watzk wasn't as nervous as his buddy looked, and he tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, thinking.
"I've seen the last games and Thomas's tactics are really a bit problematic. But to say that he was just laid off like that, I think it's a bit too hasty, right? Suddenly this sentence came out of nowhere.
"That's a question. That's right, but on the tactical issue, he has been reminded several times, and he just hasn't changed. ”
"In addition to tactics, he is also a little stubborn in his attitude towards Lin Yi, you should have conveyed my meaning to him, right?"
"Of course! It didn't take more than five minutes for you to finish talking to me, and I relayed it to him. 'Zork clearly doesn't want to take the blame for Tuchel.
"From what you know about Lin, he shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to stab people in the back, right?"
"Of course not, after more than two years of getting along, who of us doesn't know what he looks like?" Zolke's answer remained decisive.
"So his current behaviour suggests that the contradictions between him and Tuchel may have reached an irreconcilable point."
"Actually, I don't think the two of them have reconciled because Tuchel hasn't talked to Lin much in the past."
Zolke was telling the truth in everything he said, but as he spoke, he found that Tuchel seemed to have been pushed into a very disadvantageous position.
'So Tuchel is already very unqualified as a manager and refuses to talk to the captain? That's not going to work. ”
After saying this, Watzke took out the team's points table and technical statistics, and looked at them very carefully one by one.
"If they really don't get along to this extent......" Watzke said as he watched, but halfway through it was no more. This rather suspenseful statement obviously whetted Zorke's appetite, and he stared and waited for the explanation.
"Then we have to make a choice." After waiting for a long time, he found that Zorke was still looking at his Watzke.
Zorge knew that the president was not asking for his own opinion at this time, but giving himself an instruction.
"Now the two sides of the contradiction can be seen as Lin and Thomas, probably like this." Watzke said, picking up the phone.
"I think it would be better to bring Lin over and learn more about the details with him."
As he spoke, Watzke dialed Lin Yi's phone.
Lin Yi, who hadn't finished eating here, heard the phone ringing, took out his mobile phone, and shook it at everyone before answering the phone.
Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are seasoned but are also slightly nervous right now.
They've been playing for a long time, but as a player, they really haven't done anything to change the manager.
Everyone was holding their breath, but Lin Yi was able to connect Watzke's phone with great ease.
"Hello, Mr. President, is there anything you want me to do?" Still greeting each other steadily.
"Oh! That's right, Lin, I want to ask if you're free, see you in the evening, have a meal with Michelle or something. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yi's face already showed a little smile, "Okay." What time is it? ”
Watzke didn't hesitate, and directly made an appointment with Lin Yi about the time and place, said that he would meet later, and then hung up the phone.
"How's it going?" Although Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were not directly involved in the matter, they are now more nervous about the outcome than Lin Yi, firstly because they are worried about their friends, and secondly, who as a professional footballer does not want to make a difference?
"If you ask me to go to dinner, by the way, we should have to talk about it, but I feel that the overall problem should not be big, and it is basically done."
Although both of them knew that Lin Yi didn't talk big or empty, they still felt a little confused and confident when they looked at Lin Yi.
"Chatting and talking at the dinner table, that's our Chinese's habit, since they are willing to follow my habit, it will definitely not be a slap to give a sweet date to eat, right?" Now in this case, there is no such thing as a bowl of horizontal ends, one is lost, and such a strategy must be implemented to the end. ”
The two of them listened to Lin Yi's analysis here, and they also felt that there was some truth, so Lin Yi stood up and put on his coat.
"You clean up Eva after eating, otherwise no one will want to come to my house for dinner in the future."
"It's okay to come, but Lin Yi and I eat the dishes made by Lin Yi, and you eat the dishes I cooked, so it's okay."
Lin Yi laughed, and after kissing Eva, he turned around and went out of the house to a banquet that might affect his career.
"Why don't I think you're worried?" Aubameyang's wife sat next to Eva, and seeing that Eva was still intently teasing the child, without the slightest concern about her future, she couldn't help but ask.
"What do I have to worry about? It's just a question of whether or not you can play at Borussia Dortmund, and it doesn't have a direct impact on him or me. Besides, he's annoying enough now, and if I'm still very worried, won't it add pressure to him? Anyway, the big deal is a transfer, a player like him, will he still be afraid that he won't find a place to play? ”
For Eva's calmness, or it can be said that she is heartless, everyone agrees, and a player like Lin Yi really has nothing to worry about.
Although Lin Yi was calm and light on the surface, he was also nervous in his heart, and he couldn't help but rub his hand on his pants as he drove the car.
He has been living in Dortmund for two years, so Lin Yi is very familiar with this place, and soon came to the agreed place.
Ten minutes earlier than the time agreed by the three of them, Lin Yi, who had parked the car, put his hands in his pockets and walked around.
"Hey! Is it Lin? As soon as he walked to the street, Lin Yi suddenly heard a low exclamation.
Lin Yi reacted at this time, maybe he should pay attention to his whereabouts, after all, he is also a celebrity in Dortmund now.
Without waiting for Lin Yi to look back, a family of three had already come over behind him, obviously he should have come out for dinner after work.
The couple were fairly young, and their child probably looked to be as old as fourteen or fifteen years old, with freckles on his cheeks.
"Can I take a picture with you?" The kid looked at Lin Yi, in fact, Lin Yi was not much older than others.
"Absolutely." Lin Yi, who looked left and right and found that he was not being noticed, put on his hat and said.
It was also the same boy who took a photo with Lin Yi, and after the group photo, he looked at Lin Yi, "Come on, if Tuchel can get out of class, your grades will definitely be better." ”
Lin Yi smiled, as a Chinese, "family ugliness should not be publicized" is also a thought he has always had, so he did not dwell too much on this topic, but thanked the fans for their support.
After such a small episode, it was also the appointed time, and Lin Yi, who entered the restaurant on time, happened to meet the two at the door.
"I didn't expect that I just said I wanted to have a drink together in the morning, and I would have a chance in the afternoon." After Lin Yi greeted Watzke, he smiled at Zolke first.
The three of them entered the box, ordered some food casually, and then sat down.
Watzke sat across from Lin Yi, and it seemed that there was a sense of negotiation in it, but Lin Yi behaved very calmly.
"Lin. Michelle has already relayed to me what you said, and I feel the need to talk to you about it first. ”
After an awkward silence, Watzke was the first to speak.
Lin Yi, who had been studying his knife and fork since he sat down, finally raised his head, "I understand what you mean, so didn't I come to talk to you?" ”
"I haven't watched all of this season's games, but after you've reflected your opinion, I've looked at the scores and technical statistics. I think that while highlights may be deceiving, technical statistics are not. ”
"I agree with you that technical statistics are often a real indication of a team's weaknesses." Lin nodded.
"After reading it, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, and we need to worry about it."
"Of course. If it weren't for the pinch, I wouldn't have come out with much trouble. But this season I think we have opportunities in a lot of ways, so I don't want to waste precious time, so that's why I brought this up to you and Michelle. ”
Watzke nodded, and the waiter knocked on the door, ready to deliver food.
Everyone closed their mouths in tacit agreement, and then began to discuss cars and luxury goods.
Just as the waiter was putting things on the table, Lin Yi's phone on the table suddenly rang.
Lin Yi is actually not a person who likes to call very much, and after having social software, he prefers to send some messages.
But recently, my phone call has almost become a hotline, why is it that people call every day.
Although Watzke didn't see it, Zolke, who was sitting on Lin Yi's left, swept the caller's name at a glance.
Luis Enrique?!
It's Neymar in the morning, Enrique in the afternoon, is this Barcelona coming to us to mine in a group?!
Lin Yi gestured and picked up the phone, "Hey?" Luis, what's the matter? ”
"Absolutely! Neymar called you this morning, didn't he? What do you think about what he said? ”
The sound of Lin Yi's mobile phone earpiece has always been turned up quite well, so Enrique's words Zorke really listened.
No way! Are you really here to mine? One of the team's attacking cores in the morning and the head coach in the afternoon? Tomorrow Bartomeu?
"I'm sorry, Luis, I don't have any thoughts of leaving Dortmund yet, if there is one, I will take the initiative to contact you."
Lin Yi's words were also very direct, and Dortmund, the two senior executives opposite him, finally understood why Lin Yi dared to argue with Tuchel, who was the head coach. Obviously, there are a lot of ways out.
Enrique naturally felt very regretful, and simply talked to Lin Yi for a few other words, and then hung up the phone.
At this time, the waiter had just finished serving the food, and exited as soon as the box door was closed.
Lin put the machine down and looked up at Watzke, apparently waiting for their president to continue looking for a topic.
Watzke was actually a little embarrassed by that phone call, pondered for a while, and finally asked his own question.
"During this time, many clubs have contacted you, huh?"
"This is not a lot, after all, in our new contract, the amount of liquidated damages is not low, and not everyone can get it. I've been in touch with a lot fewer than I did in the offseason, and so far there are only five. ”
"Oh? Which five? Watzke subconsciously asked, and after asking, he wanted to slap himself.
"Manchester City, Paris, Bayern, Real Madrid. And what you just heard, Barcelona. Lin Yi said methodically.
"However, it is estimated that if it is really ready to operate, Manchester United should also be inserted, after all, it is uncomfortable not to lift."
The two of them didn't have time to care about Lin Yi's humor, so they could only ask, "Then what are your plans?" ”
Lin Yi was stunned by this question, and then smiled lightly, "If I had other plans, we wouldn't be sitting here and chatting now, would we?" I can leave in the off-season. ”
As soon as he said this, let alone Zolke, even Watzke was already stunned.
"Believe it or not, I always hope that my future will always be in Dortmund."
"There are two reasons for this. First of all, because I didn't want to leave as a loser, I joined Borussia Dortmund, until I became captain and now I haven't brought any real glory to the club. A Europa League, I don't think it's enough. Secondly, I really think the city, this club is very good, and I think many years from now, when you think of Borussia Dortmund, you think of me and Marco and Pierre's generation, just like Barcelona dynasty after dynasty, I want to improve with this team, go up together, and create something incredible history. ”
Lin Yi's tone was still very calm, as if he was talking about going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and coming back to make a table of dinner.
But both Zorke and Watzke were shocked by Lin Yi's words.
In the years since Watzke took over Dortmund, Lin Yi was the first to say such things to him.
Even Klopp, who has always been wild, made a promise to himself at the beginning was just to try to help the team out of the current predicament.
"Some people may think that my idea is a fool's dream, and there is no way to overthrow the La Liga duo and Bayern Munich by relying on our club, but how do you know without trying? No club is grounded from the start. The beginning of the Galactic Battleship and the Dream Three Dynasty was also a failure. But there is only one difference between them and us, and that is that they are desperately striving for victory, and we are not. It's as simple as that. ”
Watzke and Zorke listened to Lin Yi speak very calmly, and a flame suddenly ignited in their hearts.
Borussia Dortmund also have an illustrious past, with the club at its lowest point when Waczke and Zorge took over.
At one point, Watzke thought he was doing a good job and brought the bottom team back on track. Make a club that is heavily in debt even its balance of payments. He was also complacent and complacent about this.
It wasn't until today that the Chinese captain, who didn't seem to have Dortmund blood, said something he woke up to.
What I can do and what I have to do is far from enough.
