Chapter 234: Day of Rest
After the award ceremony, the Dortmund players celebrated in the stadium. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jurgen Klopp was chased by the players and doused with beer.
However, Zhou Yi was not much better, and when he was concentrating on dealing with Klopp, he was also attacked by his teammates.
In the end, there was a big scuffle, and no one could escape the fate of taking a beer bath.
But everybody was happy.
This is not the first time they have won the league title, but this season's league title has not come easily.
After drawing away from Bayern Munich, the whole team gritted their teeth and chased hard, never daring to fall behind. In the end, they not only persevered in this hard-fought marathon, but also completed a reversal overtake at the last moment.
This is more impressive than the easy victory in the previous two seasons.
After the celebration at the stadium, the club did not arrange any other celebrations, because the season is not over and they have a bigger game waiting for them.
So the next thing is just for the players to get together and continue to celebrate.
Jurgen Klopp didn't go, just told his players not to play too much, they don't have to train tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow they will have to resume normal training and they will prepare for the next Champions League final.
The Champions League final was indeed more intimidating, and the Dortmund players didn't celebrate wildly that night. At half past eleven in the evening, almost all the players went home.
Zhou Yi is the same.
The next day, Zhou Yi didn't have to go to the Bracker training base to train, but he was not idle.
Early in the morning, he received several phone calls from Chinese journalists who interviewed him on the phone, asking some questions about his feelings about winning the championship and some asked him about his vision for the Champions League final.
Then Zhou Yi and his agent Schulze made an appointment for lunch outside.
Zhou Yi led the team to win the Bundesliga championship for three consecutive years and won the assist king for three consecutive years, and such a performance will certainly enhance his commercial value.
Schulze brought some brands who wanted to sponsor him, and the other was to ask Zhou Yi about his plans for the future.
The Bundesliga championship for three consecutive seasons, the Bundesliga has won almost all the championships, and the Champions League has reached the final this season.
If he loses in the final, it means that he has reached a bottleneck in Dortmund and needs to look elsewhere for a breakthrough.
If he wins the championship in the final, it means that he has no pursuit in Dortmund, and all the championships he should have won are in hand, so why is there any need to continue to stay in Dortmund?
So now in Europe, there are many teams staring at Zhou Yi's movements.
Gotze has been poached by Bayern Munich in advance, and Zhou Yi's future is still unknown.
Schulze alone received four private contacts.
And they are all well-known giants in Europe, but they are definitely not second-tier teams.
On the question of where to go in the future, Schulze did not dare to make his own decisions. While many agents like to make this decision for their players, their preferred way to make money is to buy and sell players for commissions and transfer fees......
But the relationship between Schulze and Zhou Yi is not like this, at the beginning, because Zhou Yi took the idea of important things, Zhou Yi would choose to sign a contract with Schulze and let him become his agent. Over the years, the two sides have always abided by the original "gentleman's agreement", and the cooperation is very pleasant.
This kind of transfer or not, Schulze will take the initiative to come to Zhou Yi to discuss, and will never wait for Zhou Yi to call him before he talks about it.
Whether to transfer this summer, if you want to transfer, where to transfer, these questions are up to Zhou Yi to decide, and he, the agent, does not dare to make a decision.
Now Zhou Yi's development prospects are very good, the momentum is rapid, and fools can see that Zhou Yi is already a rising future superstar in world football. Since Schulze finally became Zhou Yi's agent, how could he lose this opportunity for some very stupid reasons and let other agents take advantage of it?
So of course he has to serve Zhou Yi well.
Of course, as an agent, there are some things he still has to say, he will tell Zhou Yi the pros and cons of each option, and then let Zhou Yi make a decision. Instead of saying that he didn't do anything, just listen to Zhou Yi, then he, the agent, is too non-existent and too cowardly......
"Real Madrid, Barcelona...... And Manchester United and Arsenal?" Zhou Yi looked at the list of teams that Schulze brought to him that were interested in him.
They are all well-known giants in various leagues.
"In terms of sincerity, we have all of them, so which team do you think is right for you at the critical moment. Schulze said.
But Zhou Yi didn't continue to read it, but put the list aside.
The names on the list are all very attractive and glittering.
'But I don't want to move this summer, Tino. ”
"Is it because of Götze?" Schulze asked.
"Almost......"
"I think Germany is a little bit small for you, Zhou Yi. ”
"Of course. Zhou Yi nodded. "I'm only 22 years old, so it wouldn't be a problem if I stayed with Dortmund for another year or two. If I can continue to perform like this, I don't believe that in a year or two they won't be able to do this as a team. Zhou Yi tapped the list with his hand, "What I'm worried about is that after Götze leaves, if I also leave, the blow to Dortmund will be very huge, and I don't want to see that kind of scene." Moreover, after losing Gotze, Dortmund will definitely not let me go, even if those clubs offer sky-high prices, Dortmund should not let me go. If you want me to come out and fight with the club at that time, then I can't do it. ”
Hearing this, Shultzer also nodded: "That's not your style, Zhou Yi." ”
"There's another big reason – it's the World Cup next summer and I need to be in a stable environment before the World Cup so that I can make sure I can play consistently and stay in shape. There is no better place to do it than Dortmund. If I transfer now, a new place, a new environment, and all kinds of adaptations, it will disrupt my original life. I don't like that, just to be on the safe side, I chose to stay at Dortmund so that I can do my best at the World Cup. Zhou Yi gave another reason that Schulze couldn't argue.
This argument is even stronger than the first. Because the World Cup is very, very important for a Chinese player, and its importance is even greater than that of the Champions League.
Although the Chinese team has not yet reached the World Cup finals, in Zhou Yi's heart, if he can't even enter the World Cup finals, what is the point of himself and his friends working so hard in Europe? So no matter what, the finals will definitely participate.
His eyes were set on Brazil from the start.
With these two reasons to move out, Schulze knows that there is no need to discuss the transfer today, and Zhou Yi will remain at Dortmund this summer.
But that doesn't mean you're just going for nothing.
Since the transfer is not being discussed, is it necessary to discuss the renewal of the contract?
Borussia Dortmund has always had an urgent need to renew his contract with Zhou Yi.
Especially after hearing that Götze was poached by Bayern Munich, the desire for renewing Zhou Yi became even stronger, and they were afraid that Zhou Yi would also be poached by a giant......
“...... Borussia Dortmund want to be able to eliminate liquidated damages in their new contract. For this reason, they are willing to significantly increase the standard in terms of bonuses and annual salaries......"
"How much higher?" Zhou Yi asked.
Schulze held out a finger.
Zhou Yi asked, "Add another million?"
Schulze hurriedly shook his head: "The annual salary is ten million." ”
Zhou Yi took a breath of cold air, this number really scared him - when did Dortmund Club become so generous?
"To be exact, the club gives you eight million, and the other two million is given by you and the club's co-sponsor, Puma. It adds up to 10 million. Schulze explained.
With such an explanation, Zhou Yi can somewhat understand, if he wants Dortmund Club to directly take out 10 million, he doesn't believe it to kill Zhou Yi.
As Puma's global chief spokesperson, Puma certainly hopes to keep Zhou Yi in Dortmund, because Dortmund is also a team sponsored by Puma, and if Dortmund has good results, Puma will be profitable. If Zhou Yi leaves Dortmund and Dortmund's results decline all the way, it will not be good for Puma's brand image.
An annual salary of 10 million is a very tempting number, 10 million euros, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan!
100 million yuan a year, such an income is something that ordinary people may not be able to earn in dozens of lifetimes.
This figure is more than three times Zhou Yi's current annual salary.
Ordinary people have this income, and they can directly consider pension.
But Zhou Yi did not intend to accept this condition.
"The buyout clause is certainly impossible to waive. Zhou Yi said straight to Schulze. "The exact buyout amount is negotiable, but this clause must be there. I'm enjoying working with Borussia Dortmund at the moment, but no one knows what the future holds, so we always have to make some preparations. It doesn't matter if the annual salary is 10 million, I don't want an annual salary of 10 million, I want to buy out the terms. ”
"Good. Schulze did not object, although he has a 5% commission on the player's salary, so the higher the salary, the higher his commission income, and the player's salary is directly related to how much he earns.
But in front of Zhou Yi's future, he didn't care about his own interests. He knows that short-term benefits are not as good as long-term benefits.
As long as he can always be tied to Zhou Yi, what does it matter if he earns less commission? The Chinese market is so big, he still wants to go to China to open up the market in the future. And Zhou Yi is the golden key for him to enter the Chinese market.
