Chapter 32: A Youthful Youth

Zhou Yi is a very actionable person, he does what he says, he dialed Schulze with the car Bluetooth phone in the car, and after explaining the matter clearly, Schulze is also very happy to see Yan Min - although he doesn't know what kind of person Yan Min is at all, but since he can join Dortmund and be recommended by Zhou Yi, it shows that Yan Min is not a mediocre person.

Schulze himself has always been very interested in exploring the Chinese market, but he now only has Zhou Yi at hand, although Zhou Yi is the most influential star in China, but Zhou Yi alone has no skills, and he can't kill all the opportunities in the Chinese market, right?

So he really needs more Chinese players to be represented by him.

At this time, Zhou Yi recommended Yan Min, who had just joined the team, for him, and Schulze was very happy.

At noon, he met Yan Min in the agreed restaurant.

After some greetings, the two quickly got to the point.

Zhou Yi was eating next to him, listening, but he didn't express his opinion - this is Yan Min's selection of agents, and Schultzer's selection of players, it is a matter between them, and it has nothing to do with him, he is responsible for introducing the two of them together, and he can't take care of the rest. After all, you have to make your own decisions, and you are responsible for what others say. What if Yan Min listened to his own persuasion, considered his relationship with Schulze, and agreed to let Schulze become an agent, but in the end, he found that he was not doing well at all when he actually got along, then what should he do?

And everyone's needs are different, Yan Min's needs are clear to him, and it is unacceptable for others to interfere indiscriminately.

As for language communication, Zhou Yi is not worried. In order to open up the Chinese market, Schulze also made a lot of hard work - he went to the class to learn Chinese, and also asked Zhou Yi to work part-time as a speaking training object to conduct oral and listening training with him. Although I am not very proficient in reading and writing, I have no problem listening and speaking.

Zhou Yi listened beside him, Yan Min is a person with his own opinions, but his requirements are actually not too high, at least compared to himself at the beginning, they are not too high.

He does not have many requirements for the operation, development and maintenance of his personal brand, only that he cannot do anything that is detrimental to his personal image.

For Schulze, this requirement was also simple to meet.

It only took half a meal, and after fully understanding each other's demands, the two sides reached an agreement - Yan Min was willing to let Schulze be his agent.

After reaching an agreement, Schulze took out the prepared contract from the briefcase he was carrying with him and handed it to Yan Min for him to see, and if there was no opinion, he could sign it.

Yan Min took it and looked up, looking up in some surprise - because the contract was actually written in Chinese.

"I prepared it in advance, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to understand English. Schulze laughed.

Yan Min read it and handed it to Zhou Yi again, wanting Zhou Yi to help him take a look, this was the first time he took the initiative to ask Zhou Yi for help in today's negotiations.

Zhou Yi didn't shirk - when others didn't let him help, he wouldn't take the initiative to help, and when he asked him to help, he wouldn't refuse - he took it and read it, Zhou Yi returned the contract to Yan Min, and then told him: "There's no problem, Tino is trustworthy in this regard." ”

Next, both parties sign the contract, which is considered to be the completion of the signing.

From this moment on, Schulze officially became Yan Min's agent.

Zhou Yi raised his glass and said to the two: "Come on, have a drink, for this cooperation." ”

The three glasses collided gently together, making a crisp sound.

Although there is an agent, the most important role of the agent is not immediately reflected in a rookie player who has never played for Borussia Dortmund yet. At present, Schulzer mainly helps Yan Min find a place to live - he can't always stay in a hotel, and the other is to arrange a German teacher for him, so that Yan Min can learn some German as soon as possible, so that he can communicate with his teammates and coaches.

Although football is a universal language, if the language is not understood, it will still affect the life of the players to a large extent, and if the life is not done well, it will also affect the final performance on the field. After all, players are also human beings, and they have to live like normal people.

Schulze can't get Yan Min any new contract right now, and it's impossible to find him a sponsorship. All he can do is serve the little things.

Not all brokers do this kind of thing, and some do it for an additional fee. But if the agent gets along well with the player, they will do this service for the player for free.

For Yan Min, it is more important than life for him to quickly integrate into the new team, not only into the dressing room, but also into the team's tactical system.

In fact, Yan Min integrated into the locker room quite quickly, on the one hand, because he was Zhou Yi's compatriot, and everyone was willing to be friendly to this Zhou Yi's compatriot.

On the other hand, Yan Min came to Dortmund because he fully showed his ability in the game against Dortmund, he was the most dangerous player in Chongming in that game, and he made the Dortmund players feel embarrassed, although they are all members of the Dortmund youth team and the second team, but they are all the elite of the youth team, otherwise it would not be possible to be transferred to the first team by Klopp to train......

Football is a world that pays attention to strength, you can win respect if you have strength, you don't have strength, even if others respect you on the surface, in fact, they don't think so.

Yan Min proved himself in the right way at the right opportunity, winning the favor of Borussia Dortmund and naturally the respect of his new team-mates.

However, Yan Min knew very well in his heart that he could not win over the coach with his performance in this warm-up game and let him get a stable chance to play in Dortmund - let alone a stable chance to play now, it is difficult to say whether there is a chance to play or not.

He also knew that being Chinese with Zhou Yi could not bring him any benefit - Zhou Yi could not still decide the head coach's opinion, right?

Therefore, everything depends on Yan Min himself, he must train and study harder than in Shanghai, and face more fierce competition.

From his first day at Borussia Dortmund, he was 200 per cent in training – not 20 per cent, but 200 per cent.

Naturally, this was also seen by the coaches at Dortmund.

When the coaching staff communicates privately, they will mention the young Chinese who has just arrived.

And not only did it attract the attention of the coaches, but even his teammates were surprised by the mental state that Yan Min showed during training.

Yan Min was very, very serious in his training, and he would constantly use his voice to express something, even though it was all in Chinese.

Everyone didn't understand, so they asked Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi answered his teammates' doubts with a strange face: "He is shouting 'okay', 'yes', 'no problem'...... Etcetera. ”

"That's all?" the teammates didn't believe.

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "In terms of understanding what the Chinese say, are you an authority, or am I an authority?"

The teammates who were very puzzled before hurriedly said that Zhou Yi was an authority, but they were also even more curious about the meaning of Yan Min's doing this, which seemed a little silly, and it couldn't help him train better, why did he do this?

Zhou Yi shrugged: "Where do I know, maybe this is a way for people to motivate themselves? You don't care, anyway, you can't understand what he's shouting......"

But within a few days, everyone could hear Yan Min shouting "Okay" and "Yes!" and "No problem" in German on the training ground......

Zhou Yi thought to himself, this kid learned German quite quickly. And seeing that he dares to pronounce so much, it is estimated that his spoken language should be mastered quickly. Those who learn the language know that dare to say that it is the most important, and Chinese learned a lot of dumb English when they were students, because many Chinese students dare not speak, afraid of making mistakes, afraid of strange pronunciation, afraid of being laughed at.

But these "fears" were on Yan Min, and Zhou Yi didn't see any of them.

I'm afraid that not only is he not afraid of being laughed at for mispronunciation, but he is not even afraid of anything else, right?

For example, football......

"Yan Min, you don't have to answer me so loudly......" Assistant Coach Bwach said to Yan Min.

"Yes, no problem, Coach!" Yan Min immediately responded to him in a super loud enthusiasm in German.

Bwach heard a burst of laughter from his colleagues behind him.

Looking at the Chinese kid in front of him, he didn't seem to understand what the other coaches were laughing at, and continued to look at Bvacs with a serious face.

Bwach was at a loss for him, so he could only wave his hand: "Let's go training......"

"Yes, Coach!" Yan Min responded with another energetic response, and then turned and ran away.

Back among his colleagues, Bwach complained: "Did that kid use to be a soldier? I watched movies where a soldier had to answer every word of the officer aloud......

"Zhelico, you can't have seen Chinese movies, right? So what you watch is made in Hollywood, and the things you are talking about are American GIs, maybe the Chinese soldiers don't do that?" one of the coaches teased.

"But this Yan Min is really a freak. I thought Chinese were like Zhou Yi......"

"Hey, don't Germans also have many different personalities? So Chinese there are both Zhou Yi and Yan Min, and it's not a big deal......

"I don't care what his personality is, and it's not like I've never seen anyone stranger than him. I only care about how well he plays, as long as he has the strength, it's nothing to ......have a weird personality."

"That's right. This kid is really fast......"

"Actually, if you want to talk about speed, he is not as good as Aubameyang, Aubameyang's start speed is really fast. But this kid has a fast cadence when running at high speeds, and I personally think it's more agile than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang......"

The members of the coaching staff commented on Yan Min.

And Yan Min didn't know anything about the coach's evaluation of him, he was training wholeheartedly.
