Chapter 78 - Gentleman agreement
Zhou Yi sat in an ordinary restaurant, an ordinary corner, a table that can sit for four people and sat for three people.
him, Tim Kist, and Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp put the cap on the fourth position, as if to occupy a seat for someone.
“I’m sorry to call you out of the place to eat, so I personally invite you to have a meal. Well, I’m actually hungry. I came directly from Bracker. I didn’t even eat dinner. Now I can Hungry!”
After listening to Kist’s translation, Zhou Yicai laughed. He felt that Klopp was not an interesting person like he did in his phenomenon.
But Klopp was not very satisfied with Zhou Yi’s response: “Zhou, I suggest you start learning German from now on. There are a lot of things that are not true through translation. It’s not as good as I said a saucy, but you I didn’t laugh at the time. After listening to the translation, I laughed and turned my playful words into cold jokes.”
Kist added to Zhou Yi after translating this sentence: “Don’t care, Jurgen is such a person, you have to get used to his style of speaking.”
“Tim, don’t add words at will, it will make me worry that Zhou cannot understand what I mean.” Klopp seemed to hear something, he reminded Keyster.
“I don’t have, Jurgen, I just told him that this is your style.” Keyster retorted.
Zhou Yi listened to their conversation in German and was really confused.
This German sounded like he had a sputum in his mouth anytime and anywhere and wanted to spit it out…
It seems that the first step in learning German is to get a sputum in your mouth.
After arguing with Kist, Klopp looked at Zhou Yi again: “I am not a nonsense person, I am used to seeing things straight. So, Chou, you said to Kist that you want to get Dortmund’s first team Promise. But to be honest, I am very disappointed with your statement.”
After listening to the translation, Zhou Yi also understood that he felt his requirements were too high? Was it interesting to fly over from Dortmund just to vomit yourself and know that the sky is thick?
“Because my arrangement for you is more than just playing the first team match.”
Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he heard this sentence.
“You will be a very important member of Dortmund’s future.”
Zhou Yi thought he had heard it wrong, and he asked Keist: “He really said that?”
“Of course…” Kist didn’t expect Klopp’s evaluation of Zhou Yi to be so high, his expression was astonished.
“I can’t promise now when you can play in the first team. But what I can promise you is that as long as you play well in the youth team and have excellent performance, you will definitely be promoted to the first team. No matter you How old are you at 19 years old and I will let you play in the Bundesliga at the age of 19, and you will be 18 at the age of 18 to play in the Bundesliga…I think you should also know that you like to give young Player opportunities are not just Wenger, but also me.”
Klopp was very proud and confident when he said that.
Zhou Yi was completely shocked by Klopp’s words. He didn’t expect a first-team head coach of the Bundesliga giant to be able to say such words.
Such a promise… If he is not kidding, it is really attractive…
“Of course, we can write this thing into the contract, because this cannot be clearly defined, and the law does not support such a clause. Therefore, you can only choose to believe me, my personal charm and commitment.”
Klopp looked at Zhou Yi and looked straight, his eyes flickering.
“I have a question.” Zhou Yi was finally able to speak.
“please say.”
“First of all, I’m glad you value me so much, but I also wonder why you value me so. I don’t quite understand, your sentence’I am an important member of Dortmund’s future’ is to make me happy or serious, if it is Seriously, what is the reason?”
After listening to Kist’s translation, Klopp smiled: “You’re not a problem. But indeed, I need to explain it to you, instead of painting you a beautiful future with a nice picture. And then deceive you into our youth training camp. It doesn’t matter. If you can hit it in a few years, the club will earn it. If you don’t hit it, then we won’t have any loss…”
After making a joke, Klopp asked Zhou Yi: “Guess how I knew you?”
“A match with the Dortmund youth team?”
“Yes, but I don’t know what you know through scouts after the game. I know there are some clubs that are interested in you, and even some clubs have found you, but I bet there are no head coaches in those clubs. I really watched your performance in the game, except me.”
Zhou Yi was indeed surprised-Klopp, who he didn’t expect, actually watched his game on the spot. But why did a head coach of the first team suddenly come to the training ground of the youth team?
“And since then, you have been clear about your performance in every game. Thanks to Tim for his hard work.” He pointed to Keyster. “He is responsible for tracking you and not observing two games. For Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan and Inter Milan. I know every performance of every game. Tim is A very good scout, he judges the player’s vision is very outstanding, he strongly recommended that I sign you as soon as possible… I show you a showdown, Zhou. Why do I have to fly over? Because I’m afraid you run away .. I know we have many competitors. I want to sign you first so that I can sleep well.”
Zhou Yile, the head coach is too straightforward.
But he also got a new understanding of Klopp, the name I had only heard in the news.
As Kist said, such a frank style may be Klopp’s personal charm.
Think again of what he just said: “You can only believe in my personal charm and commitment”……
Zhou Yi feels that since this coach has watched all his games, he certainly knows himself very well. At the same time, I also promised myself an important position in the first team, as well as the sincerity of flying from Germany to persuade me to join…
What other reason did he not agree?
Are you really waiting for Barcelona?
How can it be. Zhou Yi knew that it was just a joke for everyone, and he knew exactly what he thought. He is not waiting for Barcelona.
He was just waiting for a club that really valued him and knew him.
Now, such a club is in front of him.
Zhou Yi is also a simple person, so he nodded and said: “Since you are so straight, Mr. Coach, then I am straight. Well, I will promise you to sign a contract with Dortmund!”
After listening to Kist’s translation, Klopp was stunned: “He agreed?”
“It should be agreed…”
“Why… so easy to agree?” Klopp muttered in a low voice.
“Isn’t this what you want?”
“It is said that there is always a sense of unreality… Forget it, believe him! Since people believe us.” Klopp finished, smiling towards Zhou Yi, and extended his hand to him: “So say that I will wait for you at Bracker, week.”
“Isn’t it Dortmund?” Zhou Yi was strange.
“Bracker is Dortmund’s training base.” Keyster explained.
“Oh, good! Good!” Zhou Yi nodded again and again.
“Very well, we have reached an agreement, and my visit to Barcelona is worth it. But unfortunately, we have no way to sign any contract, because before you successfully come to Dortmund, we both have a lot of work to do. Klopp said. “So now we can only be considered a gentleman’s agreement.”
Zhou Yi said with a smile: “So we will be even. I believe in your personal commitment from the coach, and you also believe in my personal commitment.”
Hearing Zhou Yi saying this, Klopp happily slapped and smiled happily: “Yes! That’s right! Trust each other! This is the basis of interpersonal communication!”
Just like this, Zhou Yi’s decision to join Dortmund was finalized in an ordinary Catalan restaurant.
There are no tall and staggered tall scenes, it looks casual, very formal and formal, and it has nothing to do with it.
Several years later, if people start writing biographies for Zhou Yi from here, they can only say that this is really a way to fit Klopp and Zhou Yi’s temperament…

Because the place to eat is next to the hotel, after eating, Klopp and Kist sent Zhou Yi back to the hotel.
Then they turned to the airport.
“Juergen, can you say that we can believe him? In case, I mean, in the event that he will perform well the day after tomorrow, what if Barcelona also takes a fancy to him?”
On the way to the airport, Kist said his doubts.
As a scout, he has contacted a lot of players and their parents, so he has seen more of the players and their families.
He is very clear that in the face of economic interests, promises are all farts. Too many children will give up the agreement that has been reached with Dortmund because other clubs have provided more generous conditions.
Not to mention that Barcelona is indeed more attractive than Dortmund.
Klopp picked up the cap of the cap: “So what should we do? We have no way, now we can only choose to believe that child, believe in his personality charm and commitment.”

Zhou Yi just walked into the hotel lobby without progress, they were stopped by Sun Pan, and out of the three fixed partners Sun Pan, Guo Nu and Yang Muge, there were some other teammates.
They are obviously waiting for Zhou Yi.
Seeing Zhou Yi, he went up.
“How is it? How is it? How about the talk?”
Everyone asked in a hurry.
Zhou Yi thought that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and replied: “Well, I chose Dortmund.”
“Wow!” There was a burst of exclamation in the hall.
“They… They agreed to your requests?”
Everyone looked at Zhou Yi inexplicably.
The first team promised that, with Zhou Yi’s strength and qualifications, his request was simply a fantasy, how could Dortmund agree?
Zhou Yi nodded: “Promised.”
Teammates are silent~www.mtlnovel.com~ When Zhou Yi insists on his principles, they think that Zhou Yi will eventually face a bloodshed in the face of cruel reality, and then have to bow his head to concede and reduce the requirements. And maybe no one would ask for lower requirements at that time.
But to their surprise, Zhou Yi did not change his request after rejecting Arsenal twice, and stubbornly waited for a team that could meet his requirements… Then he really made him wait!
In the face of long-cherished ideals, should we stick to ourselves or compromise?
One step back is whether the sea is wide or the sky is given again and again, until there is no confidence.
Stick to the bottom line to see if the coffin does not shed tears, or keep it up and see the moon?
Many people are lost in contemplation.
“Congratulations, Zhou Yi. I didn’t expect you to be the first one of us to go out.” Yang Muge felt happy for Zhou Yi from the heart.
“You will also find someone soon!” Zhou Yi said.
“I don’t want to play that much. Let’s talk about the game before me.” Yang Muge shook his head with a smile. He seems to be accustomed to such things as no one cares about it.
“Don’t, your boy is really good luck, you have to treat you!” Sun Pan muttered, without concealing his envy and jealousy.
Guo Nu also looked at Zhou Yi enviously, although he didn’t speak, his eyes had already explained everything.
A Zhou Yi, I don’t know how many people will sleep well tonight.
Fortunately, there will be no game tomorrow, otherwise the state of the team may be affected.
