Champion’s Heart

On the second day of the competition, Zhou Yi rested at home and did not go to training. Players who participated in the game can rest at home instead of participating in training.

But in fact, he wanted to go at first, but when he got up, he felt a little tired and his body was weak.

He knew that this was the aftereffect of participating in the game yesterday. After all, he hadn't participated in an official game for five months. During this period, he kept the game state through intra-team games and warm-up games. After playing a high-intensity game for half an hour, my body is still a bit overwhelmed.

But this also shows that his physical fitness has not yet reached the point where he can complete a game.

Zhou Yi thought of what physical coach Bartlett once said to him, that rest is also part of physical training, so he decided to stay at home and take a good rest.

But he was quickly disrupted by a phone call to rest at home.

The call was from Kevin Grosskreutz: Hey, kid, you have no plans for today, right?

Uh, there shouldn't be any, what's the matter, sir?

That's right, I want to treat you to a meal. Gross Kreutz said on the phone.

Zhou Yi was very strange: Why did you invite me to dinner for no reason?

You are my teammate, isn't it strange that I treat you to dinner? Gross Kreutz asked.

It's not surprising. It's not surprising that someone invited me to dinner. Zhou Yi said quickly.

Well, where do you live? I'll pick you up later.

I live next to the training base, you can just pick me up outside the training base. Zhou Yi said.

Okay, that's fine. See you in half an hour!

After speaking, Gross Kreutz hung up the phone.

Zhou Yi was actually very surprised why Gross Kreuz suddenly wanted to invite him to dinner. It was not a day or two for them to be teammates. This was the first time he had received an invitation from Gross Kreuz.

After tidying up briefly, Zhou Yi took the time to go out.

When he just arrived outside the training base, Gross Kreutz's car also arrived.

He rolled down the window and gestured to Zhou Yi to get in the car.

Zhou Yi went around to the other side and got into the car. It turned out that there was still a person sitting in the back seat. A strange middle-aged man.

As soon as the man saw Zhou Yi, he took the initiative to extend his hand: Hi, Zhou Yi. I heard from Kevin that you are his good friend in the team. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Constantine Leo Rios. is Kevin's agent and financial advisor.

The other party introduced himself.

Zhou Yi shook hands with the other party in a daze: Hello, Mr. Riorios. It's the first time I met you. Nice to meet you.

It was a pleasure meeting you too. I actually asked Kevin to help me get you a date. I watched you play at Sinsheim yesterday and I was extremely impressed with your performance. When I heard Kevin say that you don’t have an agent yet, I wanted to introduce myself to you, haha!” Riorios laughed.

Zhou Yi also smiled.

He finally understood why Gross Kreutz invited himself to dinner. It turned out that he was helping his agent to match up!

Gross Kreutz, who was driving, also chimed in: Konstantin is a very good agent. I trust him a lot. You see, I even hand over the money I earn to him to help me manage it.

During the conversation. Gross Kreutz drove to where they were eating, and the three sat in a private room. Continue to discuss.

During the dinner, Constantine Riorios was basically talking about his abilities, advantages, experience and connections, and promised Zhou Yi that if Zhou Yi chose him as his agent. He will definitely triple Zhou Yi's income in a short period of time.

In addition to the basic salary and bonus income and advertising endorsement fees, the money he earns can also achieve rapid appreciation through some financial management methods.

Riorios described a very wonderful prospect for Zhou Yi: ...When you are twenty, Zhou Yi, you will become a young rich man worth tens of millions! There will be no shortage of beauties around you , You can buy as many luxury cars as you like, as long as it fits in your villa garage, haha!

He laughed, and Gross Kreutz also smiled and said: If you can't let it go, you can put it in my house, and I will keep it for you, Zhou Yi!

Zhou Yi laughed along with them, as if he was very tempted by the future described by Rio Rios.

This made Riorios always think there was something to be done, so he tried his best to lobby Zhou Yi from various angles, such as his best financial management.

He gave Zhou Yi many examples and told him the importance of players' financial management.

...Look, Zhou Yi. Professional players, like models, eat youthful food. And careers are always full of various uncertain factors, such as injuries that will make your state decline, transfers It may also make you out of the mainstream view... No matter how much you earn now, it does not mean that you will have so much money when you retire. The living expenses of the players are also very large, and they all need to manage money.”

So now financial management has been paid more and more attention by players. Because they all know that they can make so much money now, it doesn't mean they can do it in the future. Plan ahead and lay a good foundation for life after retirement. This is very important.

But you have to be careful, Zhou Yi. Although I hope to be your manager, I still want to remind you, don't trust the words of those who claim to be experts. When they see you become famous, they will swarm you like flies. Kissing your ass, saying that you are a financial expert, financial expert, insurance expert, have inside connections in the bank... all want to manage your property. But in fact they just want to steal your money, you must always be careful, find A professional and reliable financial agent is more important than anything else. After all, you don’t want the money you earn from training and competitions to be taken away by those liars, thieves and shameless people, right?”

Zhou Yi nodded: That's right, Mr. Riorios.

Gross Kreutz said beside him: But I can assure you, Zhou Yi. Constantine is definitely a trustworthy financial expert. If he cheats you, you can find me, and I will pay you back, haha!

Riorios waved his hands again and again: No, I won't be that stupid. The most important thing in being a player agent is not ability, but reputation. If the reputation is bad, it will spread in this circle, No player will be willing to use an agent with such a lack of credit, and I won't be able to stay in this business.

I believe in Mr. Riorios' character. Zhou Yi said.

The three of them laughed, and the atmosphere couldn't be more harmonious.

But no matter how harmonious the atmosphere at the dinner table was, Zhou Yi just didn't agree to let Rio Rios be his manager.

The reason he gave also left Riorios and Gross Kreutz speechless.

I don't think I can give you an answer on such an important matter, Mr. Riorios. I have to think it over carefully. I think it will be good for both of us, don't you?

No problem, no problem, no problem at all! Riorios waved his hand, not minding. This kind of thing should really be seriously considered, but you can't make a hasty decision. After all, this is a major matter that concerns your... future future!

After the meal, Zhou Yi said goodbye to the two. Gross Kreutz also offered to send Zhou Yi back, but Zhou Yi said that he happened to be going to a nearby supermarket to buy something, so there was no need to send it.

So the two of them bid farewell to him.

But not long after they left, Zhou Yi received another call from a teammate.

Nevin Subotic.

He asked Zhou Yi on the phone if he had any plans for the evening, and after Zhou Yi said no, he said happily: That's great, Zhou Yi, my manager Steve would like to treat you to dinner!

Zhou Yi said in his heart: I knew it!

Zhou Yi didn't object to seeing his teammate's manager, and it would be settled with two meals a day, that's great.

So he agreed.

After a simple purchase in the supermarket, Zhou Yi returned home, took a shower, and then went out to the banquet.

In a stylish restaurant, Zhou Yi met Subotic's agent, Steve Kelly, a middle-aged man who also seemed to have a stylish look.

But what Kelly said is similar to what Rio Rios said, except that there is not as much money management as Rio Rios said.

Listening to Kelly's high-spirited talk, Zhou Yi always agreed with a smile, and occasionally asked some questions about the doubts in his heart, and then asked Kelly to use his professional expertise to conduct a science popularization on himself.

After one meal, Zhou Yi learned a lot, and Zhou Yi was quite happy.

But in the end, he still didn't say that he would choose Kelly, but replied to him with the same words. Said to seriously consider.

Kelly naturally expressed his understanding and approval.

In this way, Zhou Yi returned home after two meals.

At the same time, Mario Gotze at home received a call from his agent Volker Struth: Mario, you and Zhou Yi have both played in the Youth A team, right? (To be continued.) Enable new URL
