Chapter 317: Don't make trouble
Although Zhou Yi has publicly refuted the rumors on social media, he still feels that this matter should be communicated with the head coach.
So when he arrived at Bracker's training base the next day, he didn't even go to the dressing room, he went straight to knock on the office door of manager Jurgen Klopp.
When Klopp saw that it was Zhou Yi, he smiled: "You are here for Bayern Munich, right?"
"Well, I want to ......"
Zhou Yi had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Klopp waving his hand: "Bayern Munich FC has just issued a statement on its official website, in which it admits that they have been in contact with your agent, and also admits that you have rejected them. ”
Klopp pointed to the computer on his desk, and then motioned for Zhou Yi to come and take a look.
Zhou Yi came up and saw that it was indeed the official website of Bayern Munich Club.
"It's so simple. Zhou Yi glanced at it a few times and said with emotion.
"You're so quick and firm to refute the rumors, they can't admit it if they want to......" Klopp laughed. "I think they think that if the media hypes it, this matter can ferment for a few more days, and then even if you refute the rumors, the impact will be formed, and maybe it will make the club and you suspicious of each other. Who would have thought that you would refute the rumors that night, and you didn't even give them twelve hours...... Haha! Now they can't play dead anymore, they have to come out and say something......"
"I'm not stupid, someone put a basin on my head, and I have to wear it for a few more days?" Zhou Yi shrugged. "But the club really didn't suspect it?"
"Suspect what? doubt that you are going to Bayern Munich?" Klopp asked rhetorically.
"What else could it be?"
"How is that possible? Gotze and Lewandowski have their reasons to go to Bayern Munich, you go to Bayern Munich?" Klopp stared at Zhou Yi and shook his head, "I can't figure out why." You say you're going to Real Madrid, you're going to Barcelona, and I believe it, going to Bayern Munich? ”
"Couldn't it be for money? Do you know how much Bayern Munich plans to give me an annual salary?" Zhou Yi asked.
"How much?" Klopp was curious.
"Thirteen million, supposedly. ”
"Yo. Klopp raised an eyebrow, "The highest salary in the Bundesliga." Are you tempted?"
"Just kidding, Bayern Munich can't go for any money, it's a matter of principle!" Zhou Yi snorted.
"So you see, what do we have to doubt and worry about?" Klopp smiled at Zhou Yi as he spread his hand.
Zhou Yi also smiled.
"Actually, Bayern Munich should know in their hearts that you won't go. But they still want to do it, just hoping to disgust us and make us some trouble. Just like last season. Klopp said. "In that case, we decided to find something for them to do. ”
Zhou Yi looked at Klopp, waiting for him to continue.
"The club intends to sue Bayern Munich with FIFA to protest that they have bypassed the club and made private contact with the players. This is what they admit by themselves...... As a mortal enemy, you have to desperately make trouble for the other party. ”
Hearing Klopp say this, Zhou Yi also laughed.
After all the things that need to be said are said, Zhou Yi also plans to go back to the locker room, and he will definitely have to explain to his teammates in the locker room.
But just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Klopp, who had already said goodbye to him, suddenly stopped him.
"Thank you for explaining this, Zhou Yi. Klopp said. "I hope that we can always maintain such a good relationship of communication and trust, whether we are still in the same team or not......"
Zhou Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Klopp to suddenly say this, and then he asked suspiciously: "Coach?"
"It's nothing, it's just a sudden feeling. If one day you want to leave Dortmund, I want you to be able to say it to me directly, not that I only know it by watching ......the news," Klopp shrugged, "just like last season, it was Zorche who came to me and I knew that Gotze had reached an agreement with Bayern Munich. That hurt me a lot, because I was his manager at the time...... I'm not sure if you're going to leave Dortmund, just as I'm not sure if I'm going to leave Dortmund. I just wish we could keep in touch as well as we do now. ”
Zhou Yi nodded and gave Klopp an affirmative answer: "I will, coach." I promise you that if I were to leave, you would be the first to know about it. ”
Klopp smiled at him and said nothing.
Zhou Yi also turned to leave again, and this time Klopp didn't say anything to keep him.
When Zhou Yi closed the office door, Klopp sat back in his chair and sighed.
※※※
Because of the delay in Klopp's office, Zhou Yi was already the last person in the team to go to the locker room, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the locker room, he was surrounded by his teammates.
"Zhou Yi, Bayern Munich is really looking for you?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Yi.
"Of course. Zhou Yi nodded and did not hide it.
"I'll ...... How dare they!" Everyone was indignant.
"As a result, of course, he was rejected by Zhou Yi, what a humiliation for himself......"
Everyone took advantage of the situation to laugh at their sworn enemies Bayern Munich.
However, some people looked at Zhou Yi worriedly: "You won't really go to Bayern Munich, right? I don't mean now, I know you rejected them, I mean who can say what will happen in the future......"
Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile: "No." If I'm going to leave Borussia Dortmund, I'm definitely going to a team outside of Germany. I'm never going to Bayern Munich in my life. ”
"Okay! ambitious!" Hummels gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up.
When Zhou Yi said "if I'm going to leave Dortmund", no one in the dressing room objected to it, and no one even noticed it.
In fact, everyone knows that with Zhou Yi's current ability and state, he will not be able to stay in Dortmund for the rest of his life. Dortmund is still a little small for Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi is a person who has the ability to become a world-class superstar, so he should go where superstars go.
Now everyone in the team is not as sensitive to Zhou Yi's departure as in the early years, and everyone knows that it will be sooner or later.
Besides, now at Dortmund, he has won all the trophies he can win, so what's the point of staying? Dortmund can't offer him the highest-paid contract in the Bundesliga like Bayern Munich did.
Everyone is a professional player, and we all know that the pursuit of a better professional environment and treatment is human nature, and there is nothing incomprehensible.
Zhou Yi's situation is different from last season's Götze, if Götze did not go to Bayern Munich, if he was not exposed to transfer to a sworn enemy when the competition for the league title with Bayern Munich was fierce, the rebound in the locker room may not be so high.
And at that time, Dortmund only won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, and had not yet won the Champions League. Now it's different, Zhou Yi has won the Champions League with everyone, as well as the league championship for three consecutive seasons. These players are satisfied and will not lose their fighting spirit.
After explaining to his teammates, Zhou Yi changed his clothes and went out to train with everyone.
Jurgen Klopp and the rest of the coaching staff looked closely and found nothing unusual about the Dortmund players, and they confirmed that the team should not be affected by the incident.
All the coaches were relieved.
The reason why Bayern Munich chose this time to dig into Dortmund's corner is, of course, to take this opportunity to disrupt Dortmund's normal preparations.
And Dortmund's best response is business as usual.
Then on the pitch with the actual performance to speak.
※※※
Borussia Dortmund's squad is training hard for the weekend's game against Hoffenheim.
And the war between the club's top management has not stopped.
In the evening, local Dortmund media reported that Dortmund FC had decided to file a complaint with FIFA against FC Bayern Munich, accusing them of violating FIFA rules by bypassing the club and directly contacting players who were not on contract and had six months to expire.
The news was quickly picked up by other media outlets and attracted attention and discussion.
FIFA does have such a rule, but in fact, many times people don't pay attention to this rule. Because who club hasn't had private contact with someone else's player?
The law does not blame the public, there are too many such things, and the managers also turn a blind eye.
This is the so-called unspoken rule.
But after all, this is a clear provision written in the charter, and if someone must be more truthful, they can still take it out and say it.
In terms of procedure and public opinion, it can be supported.
There are also many clubs who choose to use this rule to deter clubs who are interested in their players and make small moves in private.
That's what Dortmund FC is doing now.
They don't really want to sue FIFA, otherwise they wouldn't have let out the news in advance, which is actually a warning to Bayern Munich to keep their players away.
First, Zhou Yi refuted the rumors, and then Dortmund officially said that he wanted to sue FIFA.
Bayern Munich, who is completely at a loss here, is not easy to say anything, and that evening, Bayern Munich club's sports director Summerer said in an interview with reporters: "...... We didn't have private contact with the Dortmund players, it was a misunderstanding. We respect Dortmund and we would never do anything like that......"
Although there was no positive apology, it was considered soft.
So this farce of "digging the foot of the wall" didn't even last for forty-eight hours, and it came to an end......
