King of the Zone

As for Cheng Hai's shooting skills, as the opponents who met for the first time, Lotter's players didn't know this.

Judging from the performance in the first few minutes, they all thought that Cheng Hai was really a fringe person like his jersey number 99. Even if the Dortmund players took the ball, they would not pass it to him.

They were really paralyzed by the few minutes of cooperation between Cheng Hai and his teammates.

Therefore, just when Lott's players thought that Nuri Shaheen, who was holding the ball outside the right corner of the penalty area, would pass the ball to Lewandowski who had rushed into the right rib of the penalty area or Shinji Kagawa near the baseline, Shaheen turned his ankle and sent the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.

There, there is a gap in the blockbuster.

The closest Lot player is still on the penalty spot, facing the right side to defend Lewandowski, and facing away from the left side of the penalty area.

However, Cheng Hai, who was walking outside the penalty area and seemed harmless to humans and animals, suddenly activated the moment before Shaheen passed the ball.

Although Cheng Hai and Shaheen are not real teammates yet, even though they haven’t practiced any cooperative tactics together, Shaheen’s vision and determination as Dortmund’s main attacking midfielder, as well as Cheng Hai’s 17-point off-ball running position and 15-point grabbing ability, inadvertently created this wonderful cooperation.

When Cheng Hai rushed to the left side of the penalty area, Shaheen's wonderful pass was just in place. Cheng Hai didn't need to make any adjustments. He swung his right leg while running and volleyed the ball to the near corner.

When Cheng Hai was about to shoot, the Lott defender who ran over from the penalty spot also made a flying tackle, trying to stop his shot.

Unfortunately, he turned around and ran over from the penalty spot, a step late.

When Cheng Hai's shot had been completed, his flying shovel was in place.

The ball passed just in front of his toes, and flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal at an extremely fast speed against the turf.

Cheng Hai's 19-point physique brings great shooting power, and the ball is extremely fast.

Although the goalkeeper rushed from the right to the left when Nuri Shaheen passed the ball to Cheng Hai, he still failed to save the shot.

The ball passed past the fingers of the goalkeeper Lott, who was pounced sideways, and slid into the lower left corner against the left goal post.

Just five minutes after Lewandowski's 48th-minute goal, Dortmund scored again to make it 5-2.

And the goal this time was also a player who had just come off the bench in the second half: No. 99 Cheng Hai.

After scoring the goal, Cheng Hai rushed to the sidelines excitedly, shouting with his arms straight.

As a result, he was standing just below the stands where hundreds of Dortmund away fans were.

They didn't care about Cheng Hai's skin color or hair. They only saw Cheng Hai scored a goal for Dortmund and reversed the score.

Therefore, seeing Cheng Hai running over, the fans excitedly punched and shouted at Cheng Hai, or applauded and screamed, cheering for his goal.

A few others called out the name on the back of his jersey.

Looking at the Dortmund fans in the stands applauding and cheering for him, Cheng Hai felt extremely satisfied.

In addition, teammates also gathered around to congratulate Cheng Hai on his first goal in the Dortmund friendly match.

With Cheng Hai's performance in training during this period of time, and the goals scored in this friendly match, everyone has realized that there is a high probability that Cheng Hai will pass the trial training, sign a contract with Dortmund, and become an official teammate with them.

If you don't believe it, you can look at Klopp who is nodding and applauding on the sidelines.

Although Cheng Hai's physical fitness is a big problem, Cheng Hai's superb shooting skills can completely make up for this shortcoming.

Even if Cheng Hai is only given two or three 10 minutes of substitute time in a game, he may still score a goal.

This is simply a super substitute similar to Solskjaer.

It would be a crime not to sign.

Therefore, with the birth of Cheng Hai's first goal in the friendly match, the Dortmund players accepted him even more without barriers.

This made Cheng Hai very happy.

What made him even happier was that the scoring system rewarded him with 5000 experience points this time, which is simply too generous.

If he scores another goal, plus winning the game at the end and receiving a 1 winning reward, he can be promoted to another level based on this friendly match.

Thinking of this, Cheng Hai, who had played a few minutes of high-intensity games and was a little tired, was suddenly full of strength.

However, Cheng Hai's idea of ​​scoring another goal did not come true in the end.

Although his teammates are constantly trying to pass him the ball, let him complete the shot.But after scoring a goal, Lott's marking of Cheng Hai was quite strict.

Cheng Hai, who was playing such a high-intensity game for the first time, was a little uncomfortable no matter whether he was running or passing and receiving the ball.

Physical energy consumption is also very large.

In the end, as Klopp imagined, even though his physical fitness has improved with the help of his physical fitness coach during this period, Cheng Hai still looked like he was about to have thigh cramps after only 20 minutes of playing, and he couldn't even take a walk.

Such Cheng Hai, even if he has 17 points in off-ball movement, is useless at all, because he can't run!
Even when running, the speed is not enough to get rid of the opponent's defense.

Instead, other Dortmund players showed the true strength of the Bundesliga giants during this period. Captain Kyle used a long shot from outside the penalty area from the back row to help Dortmund expand the score to 62-3 in the 1nd minute.

Cheng Hai, on the other hand, played almost no role in this attack and was completely transparent.

No way, Klopp could only replace Cheng Hai with Bulgarian striker Langelov in the 67th minute.

Fortunately, at the end of the game, Klopp took the initiative to hug Cheng Hai and called Fu Hangyi over. Then, under Fu Hangyi's translation, he said something that surprised Cheng Hai: "Good performance! Go back tonight and get ready. I will come to the office with me tomorrow to sign a professional contract."

Cheng Hai was overjoyed, thanked Klopp, and went to the side with Fu Hangyi to celebrate.

Other teammates on the bench also congratulated Cheng Hai and welcomed him to join Dortmund.Only Langelof, Le Talay and others who are also forwards are a little unhappy.

Because adding a striker to the team will reduce their playing time and may even sell them.

Especially Langelof, who wears the No. 9 jersey, transferred from Cottbus to Dortmund for 100 million euros last season. He played 6 times and scored 0 goals. He has already caused dissatisfaction with the club and fans.

Now that Klopp is going to sign the trial new striker Cheng Hai, his fear of being sold is even stronger.

However, Langelof's future has nothing to do with Cheng Hai.

In the following time, Cheng Hai was immersed in the joy of signing with Dortmund, and he didn't even watch the game.

In the end, with 5 goals in the second half, Dortmund beat Lott 5-1 in the away game. They finally managed to catch up in the second half after conceding a goal in the first half, saving the face of a Bundesliga giant club.

After the game, Cheng Hai received another 1 experience reward for winning.However, the system did not award the best player of the game.

Obviously, in the system's judgment, Cheng Hai, who was replaced after only 22 minutes of the game, was not the best player in the game.

Even so, Cheng Hai was not disappointed.

After all, he scored goals and was approved by Klopp to sign.

This is the biggest gain of this game.

After returning to the station by car, the excited Fu Hangyi wanted to call back to the school to announce the good news, but was stopped by Cheng Hai.

It's not that Cheng Hai is more calm than Fu Hangyi who is a teacher, it's just that he has more confidence in his future than Fu Hangyi because he is responsible for a system hack.

At this time, Cheng Hai had almost calmed down from the excitement when he heard that Klopp was about to sign a contract with him, and began to consider the conditions of the contract.

Although it is good to sign with Dortmund, it is impossible to sign with others without a bottom line.

With a system plug-in, his future is not limited to Dortmund and the Bundesliga.

Therefore, in terms of the contract, it must not be restricted too much, and there must be room for smooth departure in the future, such as liquidated damages.

This determines that tomorrow's signing is not that Cheng Hai will agree to whatever the club says, and the signing may not go well. At this time, call back the call to announce the good news. If the signing fails tomorrow, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Therefore, Cheng Hai stopped Fu Hangyi.

Of course, the superficial reason is also very grand: "Teacher Fu, I think this matter, it is better to wait until tomorrow after the signing is successful and the dust settles, and then notify the school. Otherwise, if you call back and the school discloses it to the reporter, and if something unexpected happens on our side tomorrow, the school will lose face."

Fu Hangyi thought so, and held back the impulse in his heart.

After all, he is a teacher, and after holding back the ecstasy in his heart, Fu Hangyi also began to think about the points that must be paid attention to in this signing.

The two discussed for a while, and discussed some bottom line conditions, and then they need to argue with the club.

Of course, from Fu Hangyi's point of view, some of Cheng Hai's conditions were a bit outrageous, but he couldn't resist Cheng Hai's need for these conditions.

For example, the liquidated damages, Cheng Hai proposed, must be added, even if the salary is lower.

But Fu Hangyi felt that Cheng Hai, who was only 18 years old, didn't need to impose liquidated damages at all.Even if you don't leave Dortmund, it is definitely worth playing in Dortmund for three to five years.

You know, apart from Dong Fangzhuo, no Huaguo player has ever joined a Champions League club before!

In Fu Hangyi's opinion, it would be great to sign a contract with Dortmund, but Cheng Hai still wants to leave?And still thinking about other clubs helping him pay liquidated damages and leave?

Fu Hangyi felt that Cheng Hai was a little arrogant.

However, in essence, he was always just an interpreter sent by the school to assist Cheng Hai. Cheng Hai, who had reached the age of 18, had the right to decide his own affairs, and he could only make suggestions from the sidelines.

Since Cheng Hai didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.

The next morning, after Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi arrived at the training ground, they did not join the training.

After Klopp arranged today's training program, he took them to the club's office building and brought them into a small meeting room, where there were the club's general manager, athletic department director, lawyer, and a German Chinese translator waiting for them.

For young players like Cheng Hai, as long as the head coach approves, they can sign, and the general manager and others will not ask too much.

And the contract conditions are generally relatively simple.

They already knew the basic situation of Cheng Hai. They knew that he was an amateur college student from Huaguo. He was recommended by Emory for trial training, and his physical fitness was very poor.

In their thinking, Cheng Hai should be very happy and eager to get Klopp's approval and the opportunity to sign a contract with the Hornets.

They thought that as long as they took out the Chinese-German bilingual contract produced by the Chinese translator and the lawyer, and asked Cheng Hai to read it and sign it, it might take less than an hour to get it done.

Klopp thought so too.

He also thought it wouldn't take long to get it done, and then he wanted to take Cheng Hai to continue training!

Unexpectedly, this 18-year-old Huaguo amateur player did not play his cards according to the routine.

He and Fu Hangyi, the translator he had brought, carefully read word by word, discussing in a low voice from time to time, as if they disagreed with some clauses in the contract.

Klopp, the general manager and others immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing that Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi had been looking at the contract, not muttering, Klopp felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of the general manager and others.

The general manager and others looked at Klopp's eyes, and there was a trace of doubt in it: "Why does this young player you bring seem to have a lot of demands and don't want to sign?"

As for Klopp, he was probably thinking in his heart: "I can pass your trial training, and I can bring you to sign the contract. It's not bad, but I'm still picking and choosing?"

But in front of Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi, neither of them could speak out directly.

So, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, seeing Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi still discussing the contract, Klopp couldn't sit still, got up and left after saying hello, and went directly to the training ground.

After more than half an hour, Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi read the contract word by word, and discussed some of the terms.

Then, Cheng Hai raised objections to the 6-year contract period, no liquidated damages, the share of image spokespersons, and so on.

On the contrary, Cheng Hai did not raise any objections to the weekly salary of only 2000 euros, as if he was quite satisfied.

In fact, Cheng Hai was really satisfied.

According to the exchange rate of Euro to RMB at this time, 2000 Euros is approximately equal to 2 RMB.

When he came to Europe this time, his parents emptied their savings, and only took out 5 yuan to pay for his air ticket, board and lodging.

As long as you sign the contract, you can earn back this fee in less than a month.

Cheng Hai was already satisfied.

What's more, he knows his future and has a bright future, so there is no need to bargain with the club on weekly salary.

Of course, at this time, he is not qualified to ask for a price.

However, the liquidated damages clause, the contract period, etc., involve his future, so he must fight.

Therefore, he is completely fine with less salary.

For example, liquidated damages, without this clause, the club can ask for a lot of money from the giants who want to introduce him, and finally hinder Cheng Hai's transfer.

Even directly defining Cheng Hai as "not for sale" can lock Cheng Hai in Dortmund for three or four years.

And if there is a liquidated damages, the club that intends to introduce Cheng Hai can directly pay the liquidated damages to take him away.

For Cheng Hai, this is undoubtedly a very necessary clause.

Because he understands that with the help of system plug-ins, his progress will be very fast, which must be beyond the imagination of the Dortmund club management.

There is also the contract period, he does not want to sign for 6 years, at most 4 years is the limit.

The image endorsement fee is backed by the Huaguo market, and his image endorsement fee will soar to a very high level in less than a season.

I would rather have a lower salary and bonus. This must be fought for.

However, when Cheng Hai spoke out his request, the general manager of Dortmund and others looked like they had seen a ghost, saying that it was impossible.

For a young player who was an amateur player before and hadn't proven himself at all, it was impossible for them to give a liquidated damages clause, too low a contract period, and so on.

In their common sense, Cheng Hai is only 18 years old when he can pass the trial training. If the contract period is too short, Cheng Hai may have just emerged, and he will be bought by Bayern or other European giants before he can fully raise the price.

That is undoubtedly a very uneconomical thing.

Therefore, a longer contract period will help improve their control over Cheng Hai and their bargaining power.

On the contrary, it is the annual salary. They said that they can increase it a little, or even increase it by a certain percentage every year, but the liquidated damages clause and the contract period cannot be changed.

As for the image endorsement share, they think that Cheng Hai, a young player, should not be of too high value for the time being, and they can make a little concession to Cheng Hai.

The two sides have been arguing for a long time, but they still can't agree at all.

In the end, the head of the competitive department took the initiative to suspend the negotiation and asked Cheng Hai to go to training first.Anyway, the season hasn't started yet, and the trial training hasn't ended yet, so everyone can talk slowly.

Just like that, Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi left the office building and returned to the training ground.

On the way back to the training ground, Fu Hangyi felt a little resentful.

Even though it had been discussed the night before, it was obvious that Fu Hangyi still couldn't figure it out.

In his mind, it would be nice for an amateur college student from Huaguo to be able to sign with a Bundesliga giant like Dortmund. How can there be so many unqualified conditions?

Fu Hangyi was afraid that the suspension of this negotiation would become a permanent termination, that he would never be able to sign a contract, and would have to go back home in the end, which would be a pity.

Cheng Haikuan comforted Fu Hangyi and said: "Teacher Fu, don't be like this! Be happy! They just suspended the negotiation and did not refuse the negotiation. Believe me, as long as I continue to perform well in the next training and warm-up matches, Klopp will convince them and finally accept my terms."

Fu Hangyi rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know where your confidence comes from? You know, this is already one of the five major league clubs that has won the Champions League. I don't know what else you want? To put it nicely, you call it self-confidence. To put it bluntly, you call it arrogance."

Cheng Hai didn't explain too much, just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well! Just wait and see my performance in the next competition!"

Fu Hangyi shook his head, he had no choice but to accept the result.

Fortunately, he was not kicked out of the training base directly, Cheng Hai still has the possibility to continue to perform and conquer the club.
