Chapter 422 Franchise Declaration
The next morning, the hall where Zhou Tiancheng joined the press conference was almost full. The Chinese reporters who came to the scene all sighed with smiles: "Wow, there are so many people!"

In the press hall of Dortmund club, there are at least hundreds of cameras as far as the eye can see, and sharp-eyed Chinese reporters also found that many reporters with logos such as BBC and Sky Sports on their chests are looking forward to the appearance of Zhou Tiancheng. Naturally happy, this is the most powerful proof of Zhou Tiancheng's current influence in European football.The influence of his joining this time has radiated to the entire European football.

In fact, there are reasons for this.Leaving aside how much substantial improvement this signing will bring to Dortmund, this is something to say later. Just talking about the final transaction price of this signing, which is 6000 million euros, it may be difficult to break this record this summer without accident.

While Zhou Tiancheng's transfer to Borussia Dortmund was making a fuss, La Liga also had big money: Barcelona just announced that they signed Chilean international Alexis Sanchez from Udinese for 3750 million euros. , followed by the announcement of the joining of Benfica left-back Coentrao, which is also a big deal of more than 3000 million euros.In addition, a number of European media also broke out that Manchester City intends to sign Aguero, and Atletico Madrid intends to sign Falcao, the former Aguero Golden Boot. impossible.

This means that Zhou Tiancheng is very likely to become the king of transfer bids in this summer window, the most valuable player in European football!
Not only the Chinese media, but journalists from most European countries would like such a gimmick, but the German media with attitudes and positions may not necessarily think so.

The Dortmund media naturally welcomed Zhou Tiancheng's joining with both hands, but when they came to their senses, they actually spent a full 6000 million euros in order to get Zhou Tiancheng.

Karen, a senior reporter of "Dortmund Youth", has such worries. Dortmund is not a rich team, and even experienced a bankruptcy crisis. It can be said that it is a team that almost died once. In the past ten years Karen has experienced Dortmund's peaks and troughs first-hand, so you can tell from his expression. There is uncontrollable excitement and anticipation, and worry is also obvious.

What is he worried about?Worrying about Dortmund's resolve isn't worth it.You know, in addition to the transfer fee of 6000 million euros paid to Schalke, Zhou Tiancheng's personal annual salary has also reached 1000 million euros after tax.It is a top salary in the current Dortmund team.The price spent on Zhou Tiancheng alone is enough for Dortmund to run the team smoothly for a season or two.

As a Dortmund loyalist, Karen felt that he had reason to expect more in return.

……

When Zhou Tiancheng appeared together with coach Klopp and sports director Zorc, all the reporters applauded at the same time and burst into exclamations, because Zhou Tiancheng was not wearing casual clothes when meeting the media, but a Dortmund jersey. He also deliberately turned around, and the reporters quickly took pictures of his new number in Dortmund, No. 10!
Being able to wear a jersey with this number has actually shown Dortmund's attitude.Shaheen wore the No. 8 jersey last season, while the No. 10 was worn by Ghanaian striker Mohamed Zidan.He went to Mainz this season, and this number, which symbolizes the brain of the midfielder, has finally found its rightful owner.

Of course, regardless of Zhou Tiancheng's past performance or his current salary, no one thinks that it is too much for him to directly serve as the core in Dortmund. After all, those trophies at Schalke are real. The performance here, look at it step by step.

Now Zhou Tiancheng is sitting here as a Dortmund player, so the reporters subconsciously feel that there are many questions to ask at this time.

"Zhou, we are very curious about what moved Dortmund to you, just because of the defending champion? Can you explain it?" It was a senior reporter from Bild who spoke.Many journalists were focused and equally curious.

Indeed, this transfer is abnormal from the inside to the outside. First of all, the turning point was too sudden, which caught all the reporters by surprise. The most important thing is that Zhou Tiancheng's current level has won all the honors that a Bundesliga team can get his hands on. , If you want to transfer, you should also go to La Liga or the super giants of the Premier League.After all, with the income environment and operating philosophy of the Bundesliga, apart from Bayern, none of them have long-term appeal to real stars.

Zhou Tiancheng replied with a smile: "Is it not enough to win the championship? I am a professional player, and the championship is of course the first driving force. Of course, there are other factors, but this is the press conference for me to join Dortmund. For the team For irrelevant topics, I have the right to choose to refuse."

Zhou Tiancheng's answer was not enough to convince the reporters, so another BBC reporter stood up and asked: "But this makes it difficult for us to understand. You are a player with the experience of winning the Bundesliga. Why don't you go to the Premier League? That's a paradise for stars. , as far as we know, Manchester City has always been interested in you."

Zhou Tiancheng shrugged and said, "I've never heard of this, and I don't comment much. The reason why I chose to stay is because my current Bundesliga career is not enough for me."

Zhou Tiancheng paused deliberately, and sure enough, he saw the puzzled look on the faces of the reporters, he coughed lightly, and then said: "Perhaps in your opinion, there is nothing for me to pursue here, but I still have I have a small goal. I have not surpassed Gerd Müller. He is the peak of the Bundesliga Golden Boot. I will not leave until I surpass him, because only after conquering the highest peak can I have the mood to continue to conquer other places .”

Zhou Tiancheng's words made many reporters on the scene stare wide-eyed.Although everyone knows that Zhou Tiancheng's ideas are different from ordinary people, but most reporters think that this is not ideal, but a little crazy and extreme.

Such a performance, in the entire history of the Bundesliga, as a striker can not be met, a midfielder actually wants to repeat it again?Do you really use the Bundesliga as your back garden?
Zhou Tiancheng added: "Of course, this is my personal goal. Now that I have come to Dortmund, the most important thing is to complete all the achievements I made in Schalke!"

Klopp added on the sidelines: "I take Zhou's word for it and that's what we're aiming for."

The reporters eagerly recorded the original words. Karen, the reporter of "Dortmund Youth", said to himself when he was taking notes: If it can be done, it will definitely be an investment in the history of Dortmund!
