Football: The national football team was expelled and rewarded with a long-range goal card Chapter 019

“Mr. Klopp, may I make a few small requests?”

“You’re not satisfied with such a good contract? Chinese kid, don’t push your luck!” Watzke yelled before Klopp could even speak.

Klopp, however, frowned and asked, “Is there anything you’re not happy with?”

“No, I’m very satisfied with this contract, but I want to add a few clauses!” Ye Chen said very seriously.

“Go on.”

“First, goal bonuses. If I reach 15 goals, 20 goals, or even 30 goals, what kind of reward will there be?”

“In addition, what kind of rewards will there be for winning the Golden Boot, or winning the Bundesliga title or the Champions League title?”

“Oh, and I also hope my salary can increase by ten percent every year!”

Watzke frowned, “Kid, do you know what you’re talking about? Do you think Dortmund can still contend for the title this year? Neither the Bundesliga title nor the Champions League title is something we can touch!”

Ye Chen, however, didn’t care. “The Champions League might not be possible this year, but there’s still a chance for the league title. After all, the league has only gone through six rounds, anything is possible!”

“Do you even understand football?” Watzke questioned.

Klopp, however, smiled, “Okay, then how much do you think is appropriate?”

“ 15 goals and assists combined, a 500, 000 bonus. 20 goals, 125, 000. 30 goals, 125, 000. 40 goals, 125, 000. 50 goals, 125, 000!”

“Are you sure you want to add so many clauses?”

“Of course. Anyway, if I don’t get them, you don’t need to pay. They’re just small rewards!”

“Anything else?”

“Winning the Champions League title, 1 million!”

“Winning the league title, 800, 000!”

“Annual salary increase of 10%!”

Klopp watched the young man speak eloquently, and for a moment, he regretted his generosity!

This guy was a complete little fox!

Of course, as he said, if Ye Chen didn’t perform well, these were just a bunch of words.

But if Ye Chen could really achieve such stats, then the money would be given willingly!

“Anything else?”

“Of course!” Ye Chen nodded, “Being selected for the Bundesliga Team of the Season, 300, 000. Being selected for the Champions League Team of the Season, 500, 000. Oh, and the Champions League Golden Boot, 500, 000. The European Golden Boy award can also be 500, 000!”

Watzke watched Ye Chen speak eloquently, not showing any anger, but rather suppressing a laugh.

He found this kid too cute!

He couldn’t possibly think these honors were so easy to get, right?

“How can the European Golden Boy be 500, 000? How about 5 million directly!” Watzke said cheerfully.

“You said it!” Ye Chen’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly said to Klopp, “Sir, you heard it too, those were Mr. Watzke’s exact words!”

Klopp shook his head, “ 5 million is out of the question, let’s write 1 million… but the European Golden Boy isn’t that easy to get!”

“No problem, just write it down!” Ye Chen replied calmly.

After half an hour of bargaining, a three-page contract finally appeared.

It must be said that Ye Chen was extremely confident in himself.

But the more confident he was, the happier Klopp became.

He liked confident players, and he also liked players with personality.

Of course, the前提 was that the player had enough ability.

Ye Chen’s annual salary was 1 million euros, but if he could complete all the additional clauses, his total income would directly exceed 5 million euros.

But could he complete all of them?

Unless he was God!

The three of them looked at Ye Chen as if watching a joke.

But Ye Chen didn’t care, because he was waiting to slap these people in the face!

…

As a professional club, Dortmund naturally held a press conference when signing players.

This time, Dortmund even specifically invited Chinese media stationed in Germany.

To be honest, Sports Weekly didn’t want to go at first.

But then they remembered that Dortmund’s general manager Watzke had personally called and said there would be an unexpected surprise, so they came.

Three in the afternoon.

Klopp brought Ye Chen to the press conference hall. There were only five or six reporters in the entire hall, one of whom had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and was a very beautiful young woman.

Ye Chen saw her at a glance and even smiled at her, but unfortunately… she didn’t seem to notice him!

“Welcome everyone to Dortmund!”

“Today’s press conference is mainly to introduce our new signing, a 17-year-old young player from China!”

The press officer smiled and addressed everyone when he saw that all the invited media had arrived.

But as soon as he said that, the audience immediately started discussing.

“Why is a 17-year-old holding a press conference?”

“Exactly, what kind of trick is Coach Klopp playing?”

“He looks a bit familiar…”

Several reporters immediately started chatting.

However, Li Xinran in the audience immediately recognized Ye Chen!

Isn’t this Ye Chen, who was expelled from the team by the Football Association and had his contract terminated by Manchester United?

Why would he appear in Dortmund?

What exactly happened in between?

Klopp smiled, stood up, and said, “Let me solemnly introduce to everyone, the talented striker we signed for Dortmund!”

Ye Chen stood up at this moment, and Klopp continued to introduce, “His name is Ye Chen, he is 17 years old this year, a former Manchester United youth player, Chinese nationality. He passed our Dortmund trial yesterday and signed a four-year professional contract with the first team!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted.

“Oh! He’s Manchester United’s second Beckham!”

“Was that mid-circle shot created by him? It was amazing!”

“Dortmund’s vision is too sharp, they signed him so quickly!”

“Wait, Mr. Klopp, are you sure it’s not Dortmund’s U 18 or reserve team? But the first team?”

Although there were only a few reporters, the scene immediately became lively.

Klopp nodded, “You heard correctly, and Dortmund has already registered Ye Chen as a player. He will also be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Mainz and will travel with the team to challenge Mainz away!”

Mainz was the team Klopp played for, and he was the one who single-handedly brought Mainz to the Bundesliga!

Now he had to get three points from his old club, otherwise, the gap with Bayern would widen!

As soon as these words came out, all the reporters were stunned.

“He’s going to play right after signing?”

“Does Mr. Klopp recognize his ability so much?”

“As far as I know, Chinese players are generally weaker. Is the reason you signed him because of the Chinese market behind him?”

Several reporters immediately started asking questions.

But Klopp pressed his hands down, “Not many people came today, you can ask one by one!”

“Please answer the third question first, did you sign him for the Chinese market?” A blonde, blue-eyed, full-figured female reporter stood up and asked. She was a reporter from the German Football Newspaper.

Klopp smiled and said to Li Xinran from Sports Weekly, “You should be the Chinese reporter we specially invited, right?”

“Yes, hello Mr. Klopp!” Li Xinran stood up and replied in fluent German.

When their conversation came out, the other reporters present showed expressions of sudden realization.

No wonder they signed Ye Chen, it was because of the Chinese market behind him…

Hmm, confirmed!

Several reporters had already thought of their headlines.

[Dortmund signs Chinese player for four years to open up the Chinese market!]

[Dortmund signs Chinese player? No! They are targeting the Chinese market!]

[Dortmund’s first step in expanding into the Far East market: signing a Chinese player!]

As for who the Chinese player was…

Did that matter?
