Champion’s Heart

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 the Brackel training base the next day, he didn't even go to the locker room. He ran directly and knocked on the door of coach Klopp's office.

When Klopp saw it was Zhou Yi, he smiled: Are you here for the Bayern Munich thing?

Well, I wanted to...

As soon as Zhou Yi opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Klopp with a wave of his hand: Bayern Munich Club just issued a statement on their official website. The statement admitted that they had had contact with your agent and that you had rejected them. .”

Klopp pointed to the computer on his desk, and then motioned for Zhou Yi to come over and take a look.

Zhou Yi came over to take a look and found that it was indeed the official website of Bayern Munich Club.

It's so simple. Zhou Yi said with emotion after taking a few glances.

You refuted the rumors so quickly and firmly, even if they don't want to admit it... Klopp laughed. I think they think that if the media stirs up the matter, the matter will ferment for a few more days. By 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 The rumors were refuted that night, and they were not even given twelve hours... Haha! Now they can no longer pretend to be dead, they must come out and say something...

I'm not stupid. Someone put a shit basin on my head. Do I have to wear it for a few more days? Zhou Yi shrugged. But the club really didn't suspect anything?

What do you doubt? Do you doubt that you are going to Bayern Munich? Klopp asked.

What else could it be?

How is that possible? Both Gotze and Lewandowski have their reasons for going to Bayern Munich. You go to Bayern Munich? Klopp stared at Zhou Yi and shook his head. I can't figure out why. You said you wanted to go. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​I believe, going to Bayern Munich? What are you trying to do? They have been rubbed on the ground by us in the past few years.

Couldn't it be for money? Do you know how much annual salary Bayern Munich plans to give me? Zhou Yi asked.

How much? Klopp was also curious.

It's said to be thirteen million.

Oh. Klopp raised his eyebrows, The highest salary in the Bundesliga. Are you tempted?

joke,

No matter how much money Bayern Munich pays, you can't go. This is a matter of principle! Zhou Yi hummed.

So you see, what do we have to be suspicious of and worried about? Klopp spread his hands and smiled at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi also laughed.

Actually, Bayern Munich should know in their heart that you won't go. But they still want to do it, just hoping to disgust us and cause us some trouble. Just like last season. Klopp said. In this case, we decided to find something for them to do.

Zhou Yi looked at Klopp, waiting for him to continue.

The club plans to sue Bayern Munich to FIFA to protest against them bypassing the club and contacting the players privately. This is what they admit... As mortal enemies, they are trying their best to cause trouble for the other party.

Hearing Klopp say this, Zhou Yi also laughed.

After all that needs to be said, Zhou Yi plans to go back to the locker room. He will definitely have to explain to his teammates in the locker room.

But just when he was about to say goodbye and leave, Klopp, who had already said goodbye to him, suddenly stopped him.

I'm very grateful that you came to explain this matter, Zhou Yi. Klopp said. I hope that we can always maintain such good communication and trust between us, whether we are still in the same team or not...

Zhou Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Klopp to say this suddenly. Then he asked doubtfully: Coach?

It's nothing, it just came out of nowhere. If one day you want to leave Dortmund, I hope you can tell me directly instead of me finding out after watching the news... Klopp shrugged, Just like last season. In that case, it was Zorc who came to me and I found out that Gotze had reached an agreement with Bayern Munich. That hurt me because I was his manager at the time... I'm not sure you would leave Dortmund. , just like I’m not sure I’ll leave Dortmund. I just hope we can keep in touch as well as we do now.”

Zhou Yi nodded and gave Klopp an affirmative answer: I will, coach. I promise you, if I want to leave, you will be the first people to know the news.

Klopp smiled at him and said nothing.

Zhou Yi also turned around and left again, and this time Klopp did not make a sound to retain him.

After Zhou Yi closed the office door, Klopp sat back in his chair and sighed.

※※※

Because he wasted some time in Klopp's office, Zhou Yi was the last person in the team to go to the locker room. As soon as he opened the door to 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 without hiding anything.

Fuck...they really dare! Everyone was filled with indignation.

Of course I was rejected by Zhou Yi. I really humiliated myself...

Everyone took advantage of the situation to laugh at their mortal enemy Bayern Munich.

However, some people looked at Zhou Yi worriedly: You won't really go to Bayern Munich, will you? I don't mean now, I know you rejected them, I mean who can say for sure what will happen in the future...

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head: No. If I want to leave Dortmund, I will definitely go to a team outside of Germany. I will never go to Bayern Munich in my life.

Good! Ambitious! Hummels gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up.

When Zhou Yi said If I want to leave Dortmund, no one in the locker room expressed any objection to this, and no one even noticed this sentence.

In fact, everyone knows that with Zhou Yi's current abilities and status, it is impossible for him to stay in Dortmund for the rest of his life. Dortmund is still a bit small for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi is a person who has the ability to become a world-class superstar, and he should go where only superstars go.

Now everyone in the team is no longer as sensitive to Zhou Yi's departure privately as in the early years. Everyone knows that this will happen sooner or later.

Besides, now in Dortmund, he has won all the championships he can win, so what's the point of staying? It is also impossible for Dortmund to offer him the highest salary contract in the Bundesliga like Bayern Munich.

We are all professional players, and we all know that pursuing a better professional environment and treatment is human nature, and there is nothing incomprehensible.

The situation of Gotze in Zhouyi is different from that of last season. If Gotze had not gone to Bayern Munich and was not exposed to transfer to his archrival when the competition with Bayern Munich for the league title was fierce, the backlash in the locker room might not have been so high.

And at that time, Dortmund had only won the league championship for two consecutive seasons and had not yet won the Champions League. Things are different now. Zhou Yi led everyone to win the Champions League and 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.

Through careful observation, Klopp and others on the coaching staff did not find any abnormal behavior from Dortmund's players. They confirmed that the team should not be affected by this incident.

All coaches are relieved.

The reason why Bayern Munich chose this time to poach Dortmund was, of course, to take this opportunity to disrupt Dortmund's normal preparations.

And Dortmund's best response is business as usual.

Then let the actual performance speak for itself on the pitch.

※※※

The Dortmund team is training hard to prepare for the weekend's game against Hoffenheim.

The war between the club's top brass has not stopped.

That night, local media reported in Dortmund that the Dortmund club had decided to file a lawsuit against Bayern Munich to FIFA, accusing them of violating FIFA regulations, bypassing the club, and directly engaging in non-player contracts with the club that were not due to expire in six months. of player contact.

The news was quickly picked up by other media and attracted attention and discussion.

FIFA does have such a regulation, but in fact, many people don't pay attention to this regulation. Because which club hasn’t had private contact with other people’s players?

The law does not punish the public. There are too many such things, and managers turn a blind eye.

This is the so-called unspoken rule.

But after all, this is an express provision written in the charter. If someone insists on making this more true, they can still speak out about it.

In terms of procedures 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.

The Dortmund club is doing this now for this purpose.

They didn't really want to sue FIFA, otherwise they wouldn't have let the news out in advance. This was actually a warning to Bayern Munich to keep the other side away from their players.

First, Zhou Yi refuted the rumors, and then Dortmund officials announced that they would sue FIFA.

Bayern Munich, which was completely in the wrong, had nothing to say. That night, Bayern Munich's sports director Sammer said in an interview with reporters: ...We have not contacted Dortmund players privately. That was a misunderstanding. We respect Dortmund and we will never do anything like that...

Although he didn't apologize directly, he still gave in.

So this poaching farce didn't even last for forty-eight hours before it came to an end...

...
