Champion’s Heart

On the second day after Zhou Yi and Dortmund renewed their contract, Puma also announced that they had reached an agreement with Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi officially signed with Puma and became Puma's global image spokesperson.

For Zhou Yi and Dortmund's contract renewal, Chinese domestic media fans are very happy, which means that Zhou Yi's status in Dortmund is higher and his role is more important.

Dortmund's contract extension shows the importance they attach to Zhou Yi, which greatly satisfies the vanity and self-esteem of Chinese fans.

But the next contract between Zhou Yi and Puma will not be able to satisfy the hopes, or vanity, that Chinese fans place on him.

In the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans, the two biggest brands in the sports world are Adidas and Nike. Except for these two, other brands are not as good as Liu.

So they naturally hope that Zhou Yi can sign with Adidas or Nike.

These two big brands have their own fixed fan groups in China, and they all hope that Zhou Yi can endorse their favorite brands.

But who would have thought that Zhou Yi finally chose Puma, who was considered not well-known in China.

Many people feel that Zhou Yi is simply a hidden gem.

It's not good to choose anything, but choose such a brand that doesn't even have many specialty stores.

This choice is purely for money, right?

There are many people who are popular.

Zhou Yi has become very famous, and whatever he does now will attract the attention of countless people, and naturally there will be various voices judging him.

So some people think that Zhou Yi is purely for money, only has money in his eyes, but ignores the protection of his own image value, which is a very failed choice.

Some people think that Zhou Yi must have listened to the slander of the German agent. What good things does the agent have? Isn't it all about making players money? They tried every means to trick players into signing those high-priced contracts and get a cut of them, but they didn't consider the player's long-term development at all.

Anyway, not many people can understand Zhouyi's choice.

It was as if two teams, Real Madrid and Leicester City, had invited Zhou Yi at the same time, but Zhou Yi finally chose Leicester City instead of Real Madrid. That naturally sparked heated discussions in domestic public opinion. Everyone would think that Zhou Yi must have lost his mind.

Of course, there are very few people who choose to believe in Zhou Yi.

I think every choice he makes must make sense.

It's just that these voices defending Zhouyi didn't make any waves.

However... These domestic discussions have no effect on the Zhouyi in Germany. He can live as he pleases, and he doesn't need to consider the reaction of the people of the country to everything he does, otherwise he will die of mental exhaustion.

After signing the contract with Puma, Zhou Yi has to participate in the shooting of Puma's first print advertisement for him non-stop.

The location is Dortmund. I found an indoor football field and set up a studio.

Zhou Yi was in front of the cameraman and lights. Showed off his footwork. As a player who can play in professional teams, although he is an amateur, his basic skills are not bad. At least the ball juggling is decent.

This shoot is a plane shoot, so there is no difficulty.

Just a few poses. Do a few moves and change some clothes.

Most of the time is spent on makeup and hair.

Zhou Yi had never used makeup before, nor had he done any special treatment to his hairstyle. So this shoot was a new experience for him.

Constantly changing hairstyles, constantly changing styles. It took nearly a day for Zhou Yi to complete all the shooting work. Then left with agent Schulze.

According to Puma's plan, before the start of the new season. These photos of him will appear in every Puma store around the world, as well as on outdoor billboards in some cities.

Of course, it would be nice if there were more Puma stores.

If it is replaced by the number of Nike stores, it will definitely make Chinese fans excited and incoherent.

However, if Zhou Yi really signs with Nike, then Chinese fans will see Zhou Yi's heroic demeanor in all domestic Nike stores, but it is not so easy to see him outside of China.

There is still a difference between a regional spokesperson and a global spokesperson.

The signing of the contract with CK_Jeans was not carried out immediately, because it would take some time to register a company first, anyway, it was absolutely impossible before the training camp started.

So the two parties agreed to wait until the company has finished, and then sign the contract.

However, even though he didn't sign a contract with CK, Zhou Yi still took time to take a set of photos for the CK_Jeans brand. Once the contract is signed, this set of photos will be available for use.

This is also because the time of professional players is not as random as that of entertainment stars. Their lives must be regular, and the team has strong constraints on players, and they can't come out to participate in commercial activities at any time.

Players have to train every day, there are games on weekends and mid-weeks, and they have to take part in commercial activities to take pictures and so on.

Now that Zhou Yi didn't train, let's hurry up and take the photos, otherwise, when he needs to use them, he will have to wait for Zhou Yi to be free to take pictures.

During the five days of rest, Zhou Yi was busy. He went out very early every day and came back very late, basically never resting.

Only on the last day, Zhou Yi told Schulze that no matter what activities there are, they cannot be arranged on this day.

Schulze expressed understanding: No problem, you really need to rest.

But Zhou Yi said: No, I'm not resting, I just made an appointment with someone.

Dating someone? Schulze's professional sensitivity came, and he immediately thought of a business-related date.

But Zhou Yi waved his hand: My friend, let's have a meal and chat together, it can be considered a vacation.

Oh, I wish you all a good time. By the way... male and female? Schulze laughed a bit meanly.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at him: Where do you want to go? Of course it's a man!

Hearing what he said, Schulze was obviously disappointed.

Zhou Yi, I think you should consider finding a girlfriend...

Zhou Yi quickly interrupted him: Okay, okay, it's enough for my parents to worry about this matter, so don't worry about it...

The next day, Zhou Yi met Yang Muge in a restaurant in downtown Dortmund.

The reason why the appointment was not in the Schalke area but in Dortmund is because Zhou Yi is already a well-known player, especially in the Ruhr area. He performed very well in the derby against Schalke 04 in the Ruhr area, which made the fans of Schalke 04 hate it. If he just went to the Schalke area to find Yang Muge, Zhou Yi was still worried that he would be beaten... …

So he chose to stay in Dortmund, euphemistically called a landlord, and invited Yang Muge to dinner.

When he was in the group, Sun Pan booed that even if he wasn't a landlord, Zhou Yi should still treat him.

Who made him sign several big contracts just now?

Just the contract with Puma will bring Zhou Yi two million euros a year in endorsement fees.

Among these little friends who went abroad together, Zhou Yi is now the most successful one. This success is not only reflected in his performance on the court, but also in his commercial operation value.

In terms of net worth alone, Zhou Yi is now the richest of the five friends.

So this time, Zhou Yi booked a table in a fairly high-end restaurant in Dortmund, just for him and Yang Muge.

As for how he knew about this restaurant... Of course, those managers invited him when he didn't have one.

Thanks to them, now Zhou Yi also knows that there are good restaurants in Dortmund.

Now you are richer than before, you should enjoy your life! Zhou Yi said to Yang Muge while sitting in a much more upscale restaurant.

Yang Muge smiled: Then when will you buy a luxury car?

Zhou Yi immediately put on a mournful expression: I haven't even learned a driver's license yet!

Yang Muge smiled even more happily: I didn't expect our geniuses to have things they don't know.

No, no. Zhou Yi defended himself. I really don't have time to study. You know what I'm doing this holiday.

Yang Muge nodded in agreement and admiration: It's really not easy. I even went home...

You haven't been idle at home, didn't you just go to training? Zhou Yi chuckled, he knew Yang Muge's modesty.

Others went home for vacation, but when he went home, he found his former echelon coach and gave him special training.

So the two of them also used their holidays to train, but they were in different places, and they went to the same goal by different routes.

Of course, I want to go to the first team as soon as possible, and then play against you in the league, Zhou Yi. Yang Muge said.

Zhou Yi picked up the glass full of juice and said to Yang Muge: Then work hard together, I hope we can meet each other in the Ruhr Derby! Cheers!

cheers!

The ideals of the two young people are like the rippling juice in the cup, exuding a strong fruity fragrance, which is extremely beautiful. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
