Chapter 11: Choice

Will Zhou Yi become another so-called genius who seems to have a bright future and actually has dim stars for a long time?

Nike and Adidas can't explain clearly, but the risk is not small anyway.

Therefore, they are not so active in the conditions given to Zhou Yi, or they are not in line with Shurce's positioning of Zhou Yi.

Shulce's current positioning of Zhou Yi is directly a world-class midfield reserve. In the future, he will definitely become a world-class midfielder and even one of the top players in the world. And the knowledgeable brands such as Nike and Adidas are probably a potential general genius. The only plus point may be that Zhou Yi is a Chinese, with the support of the Chinese market behind him.

But considering the current image of Chinese football, the huge Chinese market may not provide much support to Zhou Yi.

In 2008, Adidas and Nike fought a lawsuit to compete for Zheng Zhi, the national team's number one star at the time.

But after that, they will definitely not do such stupid things again.

So for Zhou Yi and for a Chinese football player, can he really bring huge benefits to his respective brands? The two experienced giants should appear calm and reserved.

In this regard, Puma, a relatively weak brand, is more radical and enthusiastic.

Whether it is various hard digital indicators or various promotional strategies, the conditions they give are more impressed by Shurze and Zhou Yi than Nike and Adidas.

To say a very vulgar thing, these things reflect sincerity.

The price is not high, so how can you talk about sincerity?

Although Nike and Adidas enjoy a high reputation worldwide, they may not be able to beat Puma in the field of football.

Shurtze and Zhou Yi carefully analyzed the pros and cons of choosing the three companies.

In fact, it is the same as the player transfer choice, which team do you choose to go to for a wealthy club or a mid-range team?

Most people will choose wealthy families without hesitation, and most of the remaining people will choose wealthy families after hesitation.

There are very few people who really choose mid-season teams.

Unless there is no choice, no matter how many people call a wealthy family, they can resist it. Even though they know that there are many problems in going to the wealthy family, they may not be able to play the main force, and the pressure will be much greater than that in the mid-range team. None of these can be dispelled by the idea of ​​players going to the wealthy family.

Because it has something to do with vanity and money.

If you can go to a wealthy family, you will naturally be a wealthy player, even if you are a substitute, you will be a wealthy player.

There are also many opportunities for exposure in wealthy families, which will greatly increase their commercial value and gain more endorsement opportunities... Of course, those wealthy families that want to regain their player portrait rights are exceptions.

Therefore, the giants have an incomparable attraction to players, which is why when a club like Real Madrid buys Shahin, Shahin will say in the ******* to Dortmund fans that he cannot refuse the call of Real Madrid. Although playing football for Dortmund is his dream, it is obvious that the call of the giants is something more advanced than dreams.

This situation not only happens to Shahin, but also to many professional players, and even the motivation for their outstanding performance.

There is nothing wrong with this. Water flows to the lower part and people walk to the higher part.

So after this analysis, there is no suspense about which company Zhou Yi will choose in the end.

Puma.

Now all negotiations with Puma have ended, and it’s just a matter of signing the last sign.

※※※

Next, these three contracts Zhou Yi will sign.

The most important one is the contract extension with Dortmund and the sponsorship contract with Puma.

Shurtze reminded Zhou Yi that in addition to signing the contract, the driving school study that had been interrupted due to special training should also continue.

After all, the German driver's license exam is very strict, very difficult, and there is a limit on the number of times. After exceeding a certain number of times, you will not be allowed to take the exam.

Therefore, you must study well enough before the exam, otherwise if you fail once, you will waste an opportunity if you fail.

Zhou Yi originally wanted to agree, but he suddenly realized that the training camp for the new season would begin in a few days, and he might have to go to another place to train with the team, and at least one month later, he would not be able to learn to drive.

In this case, it would be meaningless even if you take time to learn to drive these days.

He knows why some professional players drive without a license, especially young players. When their money is enough to buy a good car, they may not have time to take the driver's license. So it is always itchy when they are unhappy when they buy the car. People with a slightly worse moral sense will drive without a license...

Zhou Yi does not plan to drive without a license, but he is not very urgent about the driver's license now. Compared with learning to drive, football itself is more important.

So he said to Shultze: "Let's leave the driving matter for the time being... I'm going to go to the training camp soon."

Shurtze also felt that Zhou Yi had too many things recently, so he should not increase his workload.

So he nodded: "That's fine, you've been very busy these days..."

"I know, Tino. I'm not ready for a rest anyway, ha!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhou Yi..."

"Well, why are we talking about these things? Isn't it all for money? Why do you work hard to make money?" Zhou Yi smiled happily.

Yes, if you have money, you will be happy even if you are tired.

※※※

After Zhou Yi had no problem with the contract, Schultze quickly negotiated with the Dortmund Club to sign the specific time.

The club hopes to finalize this matter before the team reports on July 6th.

So the signing time must be before this.

Finally, the two parties agreed to hold a signing ceremony on July 3rd.

This signing ceremony is much more grand than the first professional contract signed by Zhou Yi and the club.

At least there will be reporters on site.

On July 3, Zhou Yi, accompanied by his agent Shultze, appeared in the office of the club general manager Zorke.

Zorke was very happy that Zhou Yi was able to finally choose to renew his contract with the club. He told Zhou Yi that everyone had high hopes for him.

Zhou Yi had a smile on his face and did not look very excited. Perhaps he thought it was taken for granted.

After some simple conversations, the two sides came out of the office and came to the room that specially signed the contract, where about twenty reporters were waiting on the scene.

Half of them are Chinese journalists.

Then, facing the reporter, they sat down, picked up the pen, and signed their names on their respective contracts. Zhou Yi still used the Montblanc pen that Ricken gave him at the beginning.

In fact, since they appeared in front of everyone, the reporters pressed the shutter's fingers and never let go. The room was filled with uninterrupted shutter sounds, and the flash had already made the original lighting in the house look pale.

After the signature was completed, Zorke said in response to reporters that Zhou Yi’s contract renewal was a very important thing for the club.

"Dortmond is a team that is good at cultivating and using young players. I am very happy that Zhou Yi has continued this tradition. His outstanding performance last season proves that his future is extremely promising. We are very happy to be with him and continue to move forward." Zorke said with a smile, looking at Zhou Yi for a while and then looking at reporters.

It was Zhou Yi's turn to speak, and he said: "I am very happy to renew my contract with Dortmund. This is a very important thing for me. I hope to continue to perform well after renewing my contract."

It's pretty plain and has no bold words.

It's quite in line with Zhou Yi's personality. He is not the kind of person who is good at posting some exciting words in front of the media.

But what he does on the court is always exciting.

Finally, the two exchanged contracts and looked towards the camera with a smile, allowing the reporters to take this photo.
