Chapter 206: "Uncle" Grosskloitz
The next day, Zhou Yi went out with his schoolbag, and Cortana happened to go out to school with Hannah, and the three of them met at the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing this, Hannah asked Zhou Yi: "I'll watch you play in front of the TV, Zhou Yi!"
"Didn't you say that the chances of appearing are very small, Hannah?" Zhou Yi shook his head.
"It's fun to see you on the bench, too! I know a big star too!" Hannah was excited.
"Hey, it's still far from being a star......" Zhou Yi was modest in his mouth, but he was quite happy in his heart, everyone likes to be praised and touted.
Cortana saw through Zhou Yi's careful thoughts on the side: "My heart is secretly refreshing, right?"
Zhou Yi hurriedly put on a straight face: "What's the matter, I'm very sober!"
"Huh. Cortana smiled and stopped talking.

Coming to the training ground, after Zhou Yi completed today's training with the team, the whole team took a bus to the airport, planning to take a plane to the away game.
On the bus, Grosskreutz asked Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, are you carrying such a small bag?"
"yes. We're just going to stay for a day and play a game. Zhou Yi said.
"No matter what, there should be a small suitcase. Decorate skin care products, facial cleansers, and a few books...... Do you read books? If you don't read, you can install a computer...... Clothes, clothes are the most important thing. I have to bring several sets of clothes......" Grosskreutz began to teach Zhou Yi a lesson. "You're a public figure now, you're going to be in front of the fans and in the media's footage, you have to be careful about what you wear, don't wear it casually, or you'll be laughed at by the media. Didn't you just get shut out of the training base by security because you were dressed like a fan?"
"What if you are stopped outside the stadium by the away security guards because you are dressed like a fan, and you are not allowed to enter the stadium at all?
"But don't think it's a good thing, when your personal image is damaged, your sponsor may reconsider the endorsement contract with you. At that time, it will not only be the media evaluation that will be lost, but also real money!"
Zhou Yi was dumbfounded - he really didn't care much about dressing, and the concept of dressing still stayed in his thoughts when he was a student: what to wear, what to wear comfortably, he didn't care about the style and brand of clothes, and he didn't care about the price, he felt that clothes were just a piece of cloth, as long as they could cover his body and keep warm.
But now Grosslereutz seems to have opened the door to a new world for him. Let him know how important it is for the players to dress up. He used to watch those news only as if it was the players themselves stinky and beautiful and love to dress up, but he didn't expect that there was another person's personal image that still had so many "roles".
Just when Zhou Yi had already begun to seriously consider whether he would go back to buy a few new clothes, and then look for Hannah for reference...... He heard Grosskreutz say again: "Of course, I'm talking a little far, now you don't have to think about it so much, what image do you need to look at the water cooler?
Big Cross spread his hands, shook his head and sighed.
"Uncle!" Zhou Yi opened his mouth and blurted out in his native language.
"What did you say?" Grosskreutz didn't understand.
"Ah, this is an honorific title, in our dialect of northern China, 'uncle' means elder, and it is used to express respect for a person. I'm here to thank you for explaining so much for me, Kevin. Zhou Yi talked nonsense seriously.
But how could Grosskreutz hear Zhou Yi's nonsense? He didn't understand Chinese, so he could only speculate from Zhou Yi's expression whether Zhou Yi was joking or if he was serious. From Zhou Yi's righteous and awe-inspiring expression, he naturally believed what Zhou Yi said.
"How did you pronounce that word, Zhou Yi?" Glockreutz was particularly interested in this word full of respect after Zhou Yi said this.
"Uncle. Zhou Yi reread it again, and put the accent on the word "big", almost as if he was gritting his teeth to pronounce it.
"With pinch?" repeated Grosskreutz.
"No, no, it's uncle!"
"Big pinch?"
"Uncle!"
"Da Ye?"
"It's close, but pay attention to the pronunciation of the accent above the first word 'big', and this sound should be stressed. Like this, 'Great' Master!" Zhou Yi asked Grosskreutz to look at his mouth.
"Great! ”
"Eh, it's almost this time!"
In this way, Zhou Yi said "uncle" to Grosskreutz over and over again, and he was addicted to it.
Grosskreutz finally learned, and then on the bus, he got up from his seat and excitedly announced to his teammates: "Guys, I have a new nickname!"
Everyone was attracted by him and turned their heads to look at him.
"From now on, don't call me 'Grand Cross' anymore, please call me ......'Grandma'!
Zhou Yi, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and rested his head on the back of the front seat, not letting others see his silent laughing expression......
He can already imagine the scene when everyone sees Grosskreutz "scolding" him as "uncle" in the future, and the picture is so beautiful......

It was the first time for Zhou Yi to travel away from home with the first team, but after experiencing it himself, he felt that it was no different from when he was training in Austria and Switzerland before the season.
Moreover, Chinese people are used to living in a collective life since childhood, so it is not difficult for Zhou Yi to adapt to such a semi-collective life.
In his pre-match accommodation, he was shared with the team's striker Lucas Barrios.
Because of the contact with the training camp for more than a month, Zhou Yi and Barrios are not completely strangers, but they are not close friends, of course, this is not Zhou Yi's problem, but Barrios's, because Barrios is a Paraguayan, speaks Spanish, and does not understand the language of his new teammates, so he has less contact with people.
Until now, Barrios had only spoken some simple German, which made him not very close to his new team-mates, which may be one of the reasons why he has not scored in seven consecutive games.
But this is nothing for Zhou Yi.
After entering the room with Barrios, Zhou Yi said in German: "It is said that I snore when I sleep, although I have never heard it, but they all say so in the same room as me, so you don't mind me snoring, right?"
Barrios saw that Zhou Yi said a lot, but he didn't understand much, he looked confused.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi directly simulated the sound of snoring, and also made a sleeping action.
As soon as Barrios saw this, he understood, shook his head in a sudden realization and said, "No, I don't mind. ”
Zhou Yi nodded happily: "That's good, that's good." If you don't rest well, it won't be good if it affects your condition, but you're our main striker!"
This sentence is relatively simple, Barrios understands it, and when he hears the word "workhorse", his face is not very good-looking.
Zhou Yi also realized that he was wrong - even if he couldn't pay attention to the predicament that Barrios was facing now, he would hear about it from many channels. The "main" striker, who has not scored in seven consecutive games, feels like a sarcasm no matter how it sounds.
So he quickly apologized: "Uh, I'm sorry. ”
Barrios waved his hand: "It's okay, Zhou Yi." You don't have to apologize. ”
Zhou Yi scratched his head, he still wanted to say something, not answering would make the scene a little embarrassing, but he didn't know what to say, it was best not to discuss this kind of topic in depth......
So he used the excuse of going out to find his teammates and slipped out.
After going out, he let out a sigh - he could feel that as soon as his "main force" exited, the temperature in the room dropped by two degrees in an instant. Barrios was surrounded by a black cloud of negative energy. It's so depressing to be in that environment......
But it's not Barrios' fault, whoever gets to his position will probably be tormented and crazy by the huge pressure.
In the summer, as the team's most famous striker recruitment, he spent 4.2 million euros on the club, which is a big deal for Dortmund, which is not in a very good financial situation.
The €4.2 million transfer fee is Dortmund's transfer bid for this summer, and this "honor" is shared by Barrios and the main centre-back Hummels.
And the transfer fees of others are basically not worth mentioning. Also a striker, Langaloe came to Dortmund for only a million euros.
Over the summer, Borussia Dortmund have spent money on just three transfer deals. The others are either promoted by the reserve team and the youth team, such as Zhou Yi and Gotze. Either that's a free transfer, like Grosskreutz. Either they exchanged their own players for the other team, such as Sven Bender, who exchanged Rukavina and Munich 1860 for nothing.
Since almost going bankrupt, Dortmund has pursued a fiscal policy of frugality, investing as little as possible in buying people.
Therefore, Barrios's 4.2 million euros is not a matter at all on Bayern Munich's side, but it is already the most expensive transfer expenditure this summer at Dortmund.
With such an expensive transfer fee, he has not scored in seven consecutive rounds...... Even if the team results are good, Barrios will be under a lot of pressure, not to mention that the team's results are not good now, and Barrios will have to take the blame for the team's poor results.
Although he sympathizes with Barrios, Zhou Yi can't help with this kind of thing, and it's embarrassing to stay in the house, so it's better to be out of sight and out of mind......
