Chapter 695 Dortmund trip to China

What Zhou Tiancheng said was indeed true. He was really tired. He played with Dortmund all the way to the end this season. He was originally very strong. Then he played with the national team for a month without effective adjustment. It seems that he has been preparing for the game for eleven consecutive months.

This kind of intensity, even if Zhou Tiancheng is an iron man, he can't stand it. The reporters also smiled after hearing this, and all the media made some articles on this issue the next day.

Of course it wasn't aimed at Zhou Tiancheng. If another player said this, some negative opinions might come out: as a player, shouldn't it be an honor to represent the national team in such a big competition?What does it mean to be tired just after a game?
Of course, there is no problem with Zhou Tiancheng saying this, because the Chinese team can now stand at this height, and the views of new and old fans have been completely reversed, and it has the most direct relationship with Zhou Tiancheng.

So when he shouted that he was tired, most of the media immediately stood by his side and actively suggested to the Chinese Football Association:

"Before the start of the World Cup next year, I suggest that the Football Association stop calling Zhou Tiancheng, and let him maintain his condition in the club. He is a player who never complains, but he feels tired, which shows the problem. Just ask the Football Association Don't toss the players back and forth under the guise of adjusting the lineup, let Zhou Tiancheng adjust to full blood before the World Cup, we have already won half of the battle."

"Chou Tiancheng can't take it anymore! How to prepare for the World Cup? The Football Association should avoid Yao Ming's tragedy!"

Zhou Tiancheng stayed with Chu Yunling and Xiaofuxing. When Xiaofuxing was not crying, Chu Yunling's favorite thing to do was to read news about Zhou Tiancheng.Ever since Zhou Tiancheng became famous, he couldn't quit this addiction anymore.

"Ah Cheng, the media is helping you talk again. Now you are so good at just saying a word."

Zhou Tiancheng took it over and took a look, then smiled: "Isn't this the truth? There's nothing to say about the national team competition, but it's really tiring. Taking this group of people is much more tiring than taking Dortmund's guys."

Chu Yunling smiled: "How many players can't do what you are now, can I understand that you are pretending to be aggressive now? Besides, you are lying like a uncle like this, and you are not comfortable? Hey, this kid is just like you. You are very dear, why don't you come and hug me?"

Zhou Tiancheng took the child in his hands and sighed softly: "But the time is too short. It won't be long before the team has to concentrate again."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to China after representing the national team to participate in the Confederations Cup, the two took their children to rest in China for about ten days. Zhou Tiancheng is ready to return to Germany to prepare for the new season.

He had already booked the air tickets, but suddenly received a call from Klopp.

"Zhou, I have good news for you, you don't have to come back, just wait for us in China, all of us will come to China soon, for season training."

Zhou Tiancheng was really surprised: "You want to come to China? Haha, welcome, where are you going, BJ?"

Klopp replied: "Maybe not, the notification I received was Shanghai and Guangzhou."

Zhou Tiancheng smacked his lips: "Oh, that's such a pity. Just now I wanted to say entertain everyone... Well, the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square... We have a lot of delicious and interesting things here, but Shanghai and Guangzhou can't I don’t have a share, and I’m not familiar with it either.”

Klopp laughed on the other end of the phone: "Zhou, I hope you will still have the leisure time to treat guests."

"Hehe." Zhou Tiancheng laughed and hung up the phone. Of course he knew the significance of Dortmund. To a large extent, he valued his golden brand and wanted to come to China to make some money, right?

……

The Dortmund media are very concerned about the team's trip to China, which is the highlight of the pre-season training.

During Zhou Tiancheng's participation in the Confederations Cup on behalf of the Chinese team, Dortmund has already started to make moves in the summer transfer window.

The transfer that has been officially announced is the signing of Greek central defender Papastathopoulos from Werder Bremen. The transfer fee cost a total of 950 million euros.Faced with the asking price of the Lions from Bremen, the Dortmund media were surprised that Dortmund actually took it without frowning.

The media are used to Dortmund's attitude of making a living in small troubles, and even this has become the pride of the Dortmund media-they still defended the league and the Champions League with the incomplete lineup that everyone said was stretched. Is this lineup very weak?Being able to win the championship is king!

As for Dortmund's decision to win Papastathopoulos so decisively, everyone couldn't figure it out at first, but since Dortmund CEO Watzke faced the media and publicly announced that the team will go to China for summer training, the explanation instantly made sense up.

China!
More fans, more money!

What's more, it's Zhou Tiancheng's hometown, and the media finds it very tempting just thinking about it, and all they think about is tons of money being pressed into Dortmund's account.

No wonder he is so confident, as long as he arranges a few warm-up matches, Zhou Tiancheng will play a few games safely, not to mention other commercial activities, but the ticket income is very considerable, are you afraid that he will not make money?
The Dortmund media couldn't help but praise the shrewd team executives.With just this one move, it was definitely done very delicately, and this is where the real value of Zhou Tiancheng's off-court lies.

Dortmund fans couldn't help laughing: Schalke's idiots, what do they know?Haha, they deserve it to be like this.

……

This is the first time for Dortmund to come to China for summer training. They have never been in contact with this huge market, but Dortmund's top management is very confident. Their biggest hole card is Zhou Tiancheng.Because of his existence, the Chinese fan groups that the Premier League and La Liga giants have spent years cultivating collectively have a second home team.

After they released the news, Puma brand stores across China began to sell Dortmund jerseys. As Dortmund's official jersey sponsor, it is natural to seize such an opportunity.On a global scale, Puma's influence and layout have always been slightly inferior to the two giants, Nike and Adi. Of course, they naturally set their sights on China.Taking this opportunity to further seize the market of one-fifth of the world's population is the greatest victory.

According to Dortmund's official itinerary plan, the first stop will be Guangzhou, where they will attend a promotional video Puma officially asked the club to shoot for them, and have a warm-up match with the Chinese Super League champion team Guangzhou Evergrande.

As soon as the news came out, the heat started to rise before the team arrived. Whether it was the Dortmund jerseys in the Puma store or the tickets for the warm-up match, they were all sold out in the shortest possible time.
