Grassroots Glory

Vol 2 Chapter 1: New teammates and old acquaintances

   "Xiaocheng, it's really my son! Hahaha, I know you can do it!"

  Zhou Tiancheng and his father sat next to each other, and Zhou Zhenyong rarely praised his son in person.

   "General, OK. But this is just the beginning. Your son is a big target."

Zhou Zhenyong squinted with a smile: "Yeah! Okay, I'm waiting to watch, the Bundesliga, the Champions League... Even if the World Cup, you can win a few championships. But you are a milestone at this step, it is worth remembering. Think about it? Change a car? The group has several new models on the market immediately, Audi A6L or Mercedes? Your father is also generous. We pay for it ourselves, I have this ability now, you can speak."

Zhou Zhenyong originally thought that this sugar-coated shell would surprise Zhou Tiancheng. As a result, Zhou Tiancheng also looked at him contemptuously and said, "Hey, Mr. Zhou, you are really dedicated. Pulling the business to my head? I even count If you want to change a car, you don’t need your money. When I sign a professional contract and pay my annual salary, I will buy one myself."

Zhou Zhenyong's eyes are more appreciated: "Yes, self-reliance, plenty of food and clothing. Promising, when I did not say. But when you talked about professional contracts, I think the top priority is to find a reliable agent. In the future, you are only responsible for playing good football. , All the endorsements, contracts, and off-site packaging publicity let him handle it for you. Otherwise, you will be exhausted."

  Zhou Tiancheng certainly understands what his dad said, but the increase to the first team itself is a sudden incident, how could he have seriously considered it.

Zhou Zhenyong smiled, since he took the initiative to mention this matter, he must have been prepared: "A friend of my supervisor is just a football agent. If you agree, I let him ask him if he is interested in cooperating and fighting for Finalize as soon as possible and let him help you talk to Schalke about the first professional contract."

   Of course Zhou Tiancheng nodded, a good thing sent to the door, unless he is stupid in his mind, how can I push it out again.

   "Hey! When you were born, fortune-telling said that you have nobles to help you at all critical moments in your life. It seems really true that you seem to have good luck wherever you go." Zhou Zhenyong laughed and laughed.

  ……

The time passed very quickly, and it was more than ten days in a flash. In a blink of an eye, the first team concentrated on the day. Zhou Tiancheng also received a special notice from Slomka the first day. He came to Gelsenkirchen early the next day. Ernst Kuzola Avenue, here is the training base for the first team, and it is also the old home garden garden of the club before the completion of the Feltings Arena, next to the headquarters of the Schalke club.

   When Zhou Tiancheng walked in here, he was ashamed at first glance!

  Is this really the Schalke first team daily training ground that all echelon players aspire to?

   There is no compulsion at all!

   The facilities of the training ground are a little old-fashioned, and the surrounding guardrails obviously have obvious rust marks. Obviously, it is unknown how many years old the antiques are. If it wasn’t for the Schalke logo everywhere, Zhou Tiancheng really suspected that he had entered the wrong door.

   However, the quality of the turf in the training ground is not bad, and it is probably used every day, so it is often renovated and maintained. But the overall look and feel of the training ground is really a lot worse than the U19 training ground.

   Zhou Tiancheng smiled bitterly, no wonder. After all, Schalke is not a super first-class local tycoon, and he maintains a large-scale sale of players every year. It is estimated that some of the money is invested in youth training.

  Zhou Tiancheng was obviously early. There were only a few people in the training field. Slomka was chatting with two players who had arrived earlier. When Zhou Tiancheng was seen, he walked towards him. The two players froze for a moment and followed.

   "Zhou, it seems that Norbert is right, you are indeed a hardworking person."

   Zhou Tiancheng smiled politely, glancing at the two people who came behind him intentionally or unintentionally.

  Similarly, the two people who were shorter than Zhou Tiancheng by half a head looked at Zhou Tiancheng and were even more curious. Zhou Tiancheng's height and skin color make it difficult for him to go anywhere and want to attract attention.

Considering that Zhou Tiancheng was here for the first time, Slomka said: "You can take a break and get familiar with it. Of course, if you want, just chat with them. They are similar to you, they are both teams. The new player just signed, but this Heike Westman has just participated in the European Cup, and he just said that he also received some training in the Schalke youth camp when he was young."

Zhou Tiancheng immediately reached out and clasped his hands, saying that he was very impressed with his performance in the European Cup. This is a near-strategy to narrow the relationship. No matter where it is, even the rigorous and pragmatic Germans, like to hear Praise, especially like to listen to others praise their ability, human nature.

  Westman's eyes flashed with joy, and he actually did not play many times in the European Cup, but this young man can pay attention to himself and prove that he still has a sense of existence, he is very happy. Suddenly the impression of Zhou Tiancheng was much better.

   took a long time to shake hands with Westerman. The man next to him was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhou Tiancheng let Westman off at the right time and took the initiative to reach out to him. The man quickly introduced himself: "Ivan Rakitic, from Croatia, transferred from Basel, Switzerland."

   "Zhou Tiancheng ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Chinese. Raised from Schalke U19."

   Rakitic made a move in his hand, and subconsciously sighed: "Wow! Are Chinese players so strong now?"

   Zhou Tiancheng's face suddenly stiffened, Rakitic may also realize that he was wrong, he quickly covered his mouth, and actively apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm not malicious, but...some accidents."

   "You will get used to it slowly." Zhou Tiancheng replied, not soft or hard.

  Zhou Tiancheng has no common language with Rakitic for the time being, but talks more with Westman. The two walked and talked inside the camp.

   It didn’t take long for the base to become more and more lively, and there were more and more first-team players returning. Zhou Tiancheng suddenly heard a tentative shout coming from behind: "Zhou?"

   Looking back, Zhou Tiancheng found a familiar old friend a dozen meters away from him. He immediately cried in surprise: "Benedict!"

  Hevedes hurried over, the two came in a hug after a long time reunion, Hevedes patted Zhou Tiancheng fiercely, appeared here to him, surprise but not surprised.

   "I know that you belong here sooner or later, but your little classmate doesn't seem to have such good luck."

  Zhou Tiancheng smiled in his heart, and more than one person had described Jiang Hao as long as he had answered. "Are you saying Jiang Hao? He will come."

  Hevedes expressed doubts: "I tell you the truth, don't be angry. I think his performance will be greatly reduced without you."

   Two tall men around one meter and nine are very happy to talk together, especially Zhou Tiancheng is a strange face in the base, which attracted the eyes of the people around him intentionally or unintentionally...

  PS: Saturday, one more.

   is not far from the shelves, and after the shelves, there will be two more breaks every day.
