Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 404
Just as the World Cup was in full swing, Dortmund announced another news on its official website that Bulgarian attacker Rangeilov left the team, and his next home was Bulgaria's domestic giant CSKA Sofia.

At this time, Dortmund's pre-season training also officially started.

Qi Ce drove his miniature golf back to the parking lot of the training base. Just as he got out of the car, he saw two people. One of them was tall and dressed in casual clothes, and the other was older and dressed in a suit.

Qi Ce remembered that when he first came to Germany, he was wearing casual clothes, while Zhou Feng beside him was wearing a suit.

Is it a new aid?
At this time, the two also noticed Qi Ce.

The tall young man came over, and Qi Ce saw his appearance clearly.

It's Lewandowski!
Lewandowski, with short hair and good features, ran here with a smile, speaking not-so-fluent German: "Hi! Are you Zize from Dortmund? Hello, I'm Robert, I often watch you on TV kick the ball!"

Zize also laughed. Now Lewandowski is considered a well-known rising star in Europe, but in Zize's impression, this tall and handsome man is one of the best strikers in the world, a superstar at the Golden Globe level. Superstar!
And now, the superstar trots over with a look of admiration, saying "I often watch you play football on TV!" in his unproficient German. This feeling is really amazing.

"Hello, Robert, I've heard about you for a long time, welcome to Dortmund."

Lewandowski was also very happy, reaching out his hand and shaking Zize: "I have longed for the Bundesliga since I was a child, and today is the day my dream comes true. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm glad too, Robert."

After nodding with Lewandowski's agent, Zize took the two of them to the training base: "I think you should go to that place. There is an office and a place for physical examination."

"okay, thank you!"

After saying goodbye to Lewandowski, Zitzer came to the training ground, and several first-team players have returned to report.

Qi Dan still resumed training early. He and Bender were the first first-team members to arrive at the training base. Of course, Klopp had also arrived.

"Welcome back, Ice Cube, how was the holiday?"

"not bad."

"By the way, you can choose a new number in the new season. Although if you don't want to change, I will also give them advice, but..." Klopp tilted his head and thought for a while: "I still suggest you change a number Better."

"What are the options now?"

"No. 7, after Tinga left the team, it is now vacant. If there are 11 and 9, it is still Nelson's number. But if you want it, I will pay attention. Nelson is probably leaving the team."

Qi Ce thought for a while and said, "Then give me number 7. Marco likes number 11, why don't you keep it for him?"

Klopp laughed: "No problem, this number will definitely bring you more luck."

The choice of number is also very important. Usually a player’s number represents his status. For example, in the United States, Zize is No. 9, which is the number that the main center forward usually likes. Zize doesn’t have too many numbers. Requirements, but always like some representative numbers.

7 is a good choice.

Among the biggest teams in the world, the legendary status of No. 7 is not even much worse than the common core number No. 10. For example, Raul of Real Madrid. The body of the superstar Cristiano Ronaldo gives Real Madrid No. 7 a better inheritance, and before Raul, there are Emilio Butragueno, one of the five eagles of Real Madrid, Spanish legend Juan Juanito and other legendary figures.

On the other hand, so is Manchester United.

That is the number worn by George Best and Bryan Robertson, and Cantona, the king of Manchester United, also wears the No. [-] jersey. The latecomers include Beckham, Ronaldinho and other superstars.

In addition, superstars such as Shevchenko, Figo, and Irving are all No. [-]. Dortmund does not have any particularly legendary No. [-] players.

But isn't the legend created by himself!
A number is just a number, and the player wearing this number is what gives the number its meaning.

In the afternoon of that day, the news about Zize's number change was immediately put on the top of the homepage and social media by Dortmund. Zize also announced on his personal social media that his jersey number for next season has changed to No. 7.

This may seem like a very common announcement, but the club is not idle.

They are stepping up the printing of Zize's new number jerseys, and they have stepped up to put Zize's new number jerseys on the shelves in major fan stores. Policy-led large-scale advertising.

Of course, the number is still P, because Qi Ce has just returned to the team and has not had time to take pictures of the jerseys for the new season. After all, several "models" in the team are not there.

Even during the World Cup, this news has attracted the attention of many German and Chinese fans.

In the largest pedestrian street in Shanghai, the Kappa store on the first floor of a commercial building on Nanjing East Road, the turnover of this day reached the peak state in recent years. Originally, Kappa was not a particularly famous brand in China. Very few jerseys are sold.

However, after Qi Ce joined, Kappa gradually began to gain a little popularity in China, and today it has reached its peak, which is even more than when Qi Ce joined.

This is also the magic of numbers!

No. 23 is the number that Zize has worn more times. It has been worn in East Asia and Dortmund, and it was No. 24 in Sparta. It was No. 31 in Mainz for a while, and it was No. 9 in the second season.

But not as eye-catching as today's No. 7.

On the same day, there were long queues in Dortmund's major fan stores. Now that online e-commerce is not very developed, most fans still have to buy jerseys through offline physical stores.

On the day the news was announced, according to statistics from the sales channels, Zize’s No. 24 jersey sold 37 pieces within [-] hours. Now all major stores have urgently reported that they are out of stock. Deposit, make an appointment to pick up the goods within a week.

The sales situation in China is also very gratifying.

In fact, Watzke has always been very strange that since Zize joined, Dortmund's peripheral products, mainly jerseys, have not sold very well in China.

Later, after research, it was found that jerseys worth more than 60 euros were sold in China for [-] to [-] yuan. Next, Kappa agreed to Watzke's price strategy and launched a lower-priced version in the Chinese market.

Coupled with increased publicity efforts, this time the sales volume has finally been raised by more than one level.

From the bottom of his heart, Watzke is still not satisfied with the supplier Kappa.

At present, there is still one year left in the sponsorship contract between Kappa and Dortmund. If Kappa’s offer cannot be increased this year, Watzke also plans to find a new jersey sponsor for the team. Now Dortmund is the Bundesliga champion. Superman Balloon Star, looking for a new sponsor, can knock one.

And now there are many sports brands staring at Zize and Dortmund. Watzke has already received business cards from many units. Nike and Adidas will naturally not let Dortmund go. In addition, There are also New Balance, Puma and other brands eyeing up.

The existence of a superstar in the team gave Watzke more confidence in the negotiation. While looking at today's financial statements, Watzke showed an elusive smile on his mouth.
