Vol 2 Chapter 8: Sign a youth training contract

  Zhou Tiancheng spent two days back to school to count his daily necessities, and with the help and coordination of the Schalke Club, he completed the relevant procedures for school registration.

From here, a player directly selected by Schalke 04 not only made Zhou Tiancheng known all over the school, but he did not expect that President Feng Te made a very humanized treatment of the issue of his school status. the way.

Originally, Zhou Tiancheng felt that he could not take care of the rest of his studies on the path of professional football. He had originally come to withdraw from the school, but Principal Feng Te gave him another way: continue to retain the student status, and recommend Zhou Tiancheng to train him. I can still take the time to study on my own. I only need to take the final exam of the school every semester, and I can complete my studies if I pass the grade.

President Feng Te gave him all the professional textbooks that Zhou Tian costs to learn and the contact information of the professors in various subjects, and said that he had greeted him. If there is anything he does not understand, the Zhou Tian CD can contact these professors. Make sure you know everything.

  Zhou Tiancheng immediately thanked him again and again, the school considered him so thoughtfully, which made him feel warm. Indeed, this way he can play football without any mistakes, without any regrets.

Principal Feng Te just shook his head and said with a smile: "I am also a Schalke fan, not to mention you are the first person since our school was founded. Talents are always worthy of special treatment. Zhou, remember, don’t relax and study, football is also With mental work, the more things you touch, the stronger your understanding and the more you can understand the true meaning of football."

   "I remember it, principal." Zhou Tiancheng nodded and remembered these words in his heart.

  After dealing with the matter of school registration, he made a special farewell to the school teammates. Zhou Tiancheng should also go to the Schalke club to sign the contract.

Youth Superintendent Runet delivered a draft contract document to Zhou Tiancheng and explained the key terms to him patiently: "Zhou, according to the club’s practice, this youth training contract will guarantee your arrival Twenty years old, that is, two years after you. If you can’t be transferred to the first team by then, the club will look for your next home and lend you out...Although the Bundesliga team has a U23 echelon, it is for the first team. The team’s wounded and abandoned players are prepared, so can you really stay in the club for a long time, and it is closely related to your performance in the U19 echelon, don’t let me down."

  Zhou Tiancheng focused on his head, and suddenly a two-point pressure rose in his heart.

  Lunette continued to point down, pointing to the salary column, Zhou Tiancheng looked at it, the number written in black and white was 3000 (monthly salary), and the unit behind was the euro.

   Why are there so few?

  Although Zhou Tiancheng is not expecting millions of millions of annual salary now, this is too far from the imagination? His first reaction was: Did the typist miss a few zeros? Or the youth training supervisor got it wrong and got a contract for a female football player?

  Lunette looked at Zhou Tiancheng's expression and laughed. Such a response was completely within his expectation. He deliberately asked: "Does it feel weird and think there are several zeros missing?"

   "Uh..." I was guessed face to face with my inner thoughts. Zhou Tiancheng didn't know how to react for a while. Nodding, it's too straightforward and gives a bad impression. He is not used to lying and shaking his head.

Runette didn’t wait for Zhou Tiancheng to answer, and continued to explain: “Ha ha! See clearly, it’s not a professional contract with millions of annual salary in front of you. It will be possible to wait until you reach the first team. You can only get an apprentice's salary. Why, is it very frustrating?"

   "No, sir, I will try to fight for a professional contract for myself." Zhou Tiancheng signed the contract immediately. He just puzzled just now.

   In 2007, the exchange rate of Euro to Renminbi was still 1:10. Zhou Tiancheng calculated the signing of this youth training contract, and he had a monthly income of 30,000 yuan, which is not a lot.

   formally signed a contract, which means that Zhou Tiancheng really became a member of the Schalke echelon, and Runet casually asked him how many jerseys he likes to wear. Zhou Tiancheng's easy-going expression doesn't matter, he has no lucky numbers.

   In fact, Zhou Tiancheng wanted to continue wearing his No. 5 jersey on the school team, but he knew that such a high number must be occupied.

   This matter Runette said he can think about it, not in a hurry. And he next asked a very important thing: "Chou, have you solved your residence?"

  Zhou Tiancheng was surprised for a while, and it suddenly reacted that this was a big deal. I used to live in a school dormitory before, and I ignored such an important thing!

  Ridiculous!

Runette replied: "Not considered? Well, now there are two options. One is that you can choose a residential house that has a cooperative relationship with the club. They will provide accommodation for young players. Of course, this one is a Schalke fan. . No need to think about the common language problem of getting along with each other, this is one of the ways we train fans. In fact, our dead enemy, Dortmund’s nasty locusts are also adopting this way. Of course, if you don’t want to, then You can only go out and find a house yourself."

   "Your kindness is my heart, let me go out to rent a house." Zhou Tiancheng answered this time unexpectedly quickly. He admits that what Runet said is really a big advantage, but living with someone else ~www.novelmtl.com~ always has a lot of inconveniences. Culture and living habits are different. It would be embarrassing not to get in touch with the host at that time. Although renting is also subject to many restrictions, at least you don’t need to get along with the landlord. You usually pay attention to it. Relatively speaking, it is relatively free.

Runette would naturally not comment on Zhou Tiancheng’s choices, but just care about it, and soon came back to the truth: "Zhou, you just came to the club, you certainly don’t know much about our youth training, you need to be faster. Integrate with us, so now I will take you to visit our youth training results, how?

   "You take me personally?" Zhou Tiancheng was a little surprised, the Schalke youth training brand is certainly loud, but the youth training supervisor seems to be quite idle!

   "Oh, I happen to be fine now. Let's go with you. No one knows this better than me."

   Zhou Tiancheng nodded, that's right.

   The two came to the club's youth honor room, just downstairs from Runette's office, which was also separate from the first team honor room. Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but slap. This is too wasteful.

   Even if the quality of Schalke’s youth training is very high, it is not necessary to use a house to stack these trophies...

   However, pushing the door and walking in, Zhou Tiancheng was immediately attracted.

In the small room of more than 100 square meters, the long table in the middle row is full of trophies placed in transparent boxes. There are dozens of seats. This covers Schalke echelons of all ages. Various honors, big and small.

   However, it is not these trophies that attracted Zhou Tiancheng, but the densely packed photos on the surrounding walls. Some shooting techniques are retro, even black-and-white photos. Obviously, they are very old, but Zhou Tiancheng can easily see him from a young age, and he is a famous superstar in world football!
