Chapter 38 Busy

At the end of the first round of the league, the time was relatively relaxed. After returning to Schalke 04 Club, Heinxter, who was in a good mood, gave the players a day off and told them not to drink too much at night.

At the time of exhortation, Heinx was in a bad mood, because he thought that the players' dinner seemed to pay for it.

"Asamoa, I remember you..." Heinx said secretly.

Feeling the head coach's alternative eyes, Asamoa felt puzzled, but this feeling was immediately overwhelmed by the hotel life for a while... Food, beauty, wine, what a happy life.

Jack Don also followed his teammates to Happy. Since he came to this world, he has really not been to any special entertainment venues, which is also a kind of insight.

It turned out that Asamoa said it sounds good, but in fact, the food in this hotel is not bad. As long as you pay for the wine, you can find it everywhere, but beautiful women? Yes, there are many beautiful women. There are many beautiful women coming and going in the whole hall, but these beautiful women are not the 'chicken' sold on the street. They can only be seen.

Jack Don didn't care about this. After coming to the hotel, he began the food elimination activity. Most of the whole table of food was in his appetite. Other teammates saw Jack Don's appearance and thought that this meal was the treat by the stingy coach, so they all joined the ranks of eliminating food.

The whole day's game made most people feel tired and hungry, so after arriving at the hotel, they didn't drink much wine, but they ate a lot.

As a result, these stars in front of the reporters all evolved into hungry wolves and began to grab food--

This chicken leg is mine! Don't grab it!"

"Oh, NO, can you save some for me... I didn't eat a bite."

"Oh, my God, pay attention to your demeanor!"

......

Gance?

That thing is not satisfied. There is no doubt about the speed of destroying food for these strong men, including Don Jack. In an hour, more than a dozen people directly destroyed almost 50 people's worth of food.

You know, this hotel is very expensive.

At this time, I'm afraid Heinx will be worried about his wallet. Is his monthly salary enough to pay the bill? It's really a topic worth discussing.

After the dinner, several bad guys in the team went directly to the 'red light district' near the hotel. The nightlife here is very rich. Many people in Gelsenkirgyrxing came here to spend the night. However, Jack Don did not follow him, and his sister was still waiting for him. He was worried about letting Li Xueyi Personally at home.

Besides, he felt that he should share the joy of scoring with his sister.

The next morning, Don Jack got up a little late, because he didn't have to go to training today, and he had a lot of free time. After playing a set of boxing in the open space outside the door and having breakfast, he went out to get today's newspaper. Recently, he has been doing this. While reading the newspaper and seeing German words he didn't know, he questioned his sister, which was very helpful for his German improvement.

In terms of sports in Germany, there are two major newspapers - Kicker and Sports Pictures, which have a great influence on European football and are also the two sports newspapers with the highest circulation and best-selling in Germany.

Kicker is the most famous professional sports newspaper in Germany and even the world. This newspaper was founded in 1920 and has a glorious history of nearly 85 years. As a market entrant, Kicker has acquired and accumulated a large number of market resources with the help of professional and authoritative content reports and journals and newspapers with a history of more than 30 years. On the basis of nearly 90 years of brand building, it has attracted nearly 500,000 stable audiences, nearly 90,000 subscribers, and the Bundesliga special issue is one million. The book is called the indispensable "football bible" for football fans by Germany's "football emperor" Beckenbauer.

However, the price of this newspaper is also very expensive.

Monday's issue of Kicker is priced at 2 euros, and Thursday's issue of Kicker costs 1.5 euros, which is a high-priced newspaper in the German sports newspaper market. But even so, the circulation of Kicker is still very high, and the newspaper does not sell nearly 500,000 copies every day.

For Sports Pictures, which was founded in 1988, it does not have the market-first advantage of its competitor Kicker, but its group, Springer Group's strong financial resources, the linkage advantages between multiple operations and the group's huge brand influence make it difficult for competitors to match.

This is one of the important reasons for the rapid growth of Sports Pictures.

"Sports Pictures" began to give up the channel of publishing and selling at a lower-cost price to expand the circulation, reduce the unit cost, and attract more advertisements. After so many years of development, "Sports Pictures" is getting cheaper and cheaper. At present, its circulation is higher than "Kicker", retail The volume has reached 450,000 copies, with nearly 90,000 subscribers.

The newspaper that Don Jack subscribes to is an ordinary stack of Gelsenkirxing, that is, many daily newspapers are stacked together and sent to the mailbox outside the door every morning. This newspaper includes a total of nine short daily magazines, including Sports Pictures, Spiegel Daily, Gelsenkirxing Post and so on. Divide the newspaper.

Habitually, Don Jack turned directly to the sports page of the Gelsen-Kirxing Post.

The Gelsenkirxing Post, as soon as you look at the name, you can know that it is a unique newspaper in the Gelsenkirgen region. In fact, this newspaper is an absolute supporter of Schalke 04. Every day, most of the sports content of each issue is related to Schalke 04 Club. About the news about his own club, Don Jack is still very I like watching it.

"Schalke 04 away 0:1 victory over Frankfurt, young player Jack. Li staged a good show!"

As soon as he turned over the sports page, Jack Don saw the report about the game. More importantly, the protagonist seemed to be himself, which gave him a sense of achievement. He immediately asked Li Xue to help him read the information above.

"In yesterday's Bundesliga, Schalke 04 went to Frankfurt away and played a hard game at the Wald Stadium. The Schalke 04 players have been working hard, but luck does not seem to be on Schalke 04's side. But in the second half, the head coach Mr. Heinx was replaced by a rookie. This It was still his debut match, and it turned out to be Jack. Li's young player scored a goal for the team in the last minute of the game and won a strong victory!" Next to the intermittent report, there is also a large picture of Don Jack's shooting. There is a little ferocious and determination on his face. The heroic look looks at Don Jack himself... A little blushed.

"Brother, you are so handsome!" Li Xue is full of worship.

"Hey hey... Hey hey." He laughed twice, but Jack Tang felt that he should wear a headband next time. In that case, his hair would not cover his forehead, and he would definitely be more handsome. In the newspaper, so many people saw him. Of course, he would be more effective: "... Well, that's it."

At this time, Li Xue had begun to read other newspapers and look for other news about Jack Tang.

Obviously, there is still some impact on Don Jack's goal yesterday. After all, it is the final kill in the Bundesliga. As long as this game is mentioned, Don Jack will definitely be mentioned.

In addition to the Gelsenkirxing Post, the Spiegel Journal, Daily Sports, Football Morning Post, etc. all mentioned Schalke 04 and Don Jack's goal, while the report in the Football Morning Post is more distinctive. They are not aimed at the influence of the goal, but are unilateral. The comment on the goal itself---

"The new force of the Bundesliga beats the three defenders and staged a good show!"

In this report, the Football Morning Post mentioned that 'the new boy picked three defenders alone' and satirized that 'Frankfurt's defenders are too weak', "... They should not appear in the Bundesliga. The three defenders can't even defend a new player in the Bundesliga. They should go to the Bundesliga. But this can't hide what's called 'Don Jack. The light of Li's young general, this young player overthrewthed three defenders and grabbed the football and shot into the net. This performance also proved his personal ability.

However, the last sentence of the Football Morning Post will definitely make Heinx chagrined: "... It's a pity for such a genius to stay in Schalke 04, a promising club. I think Bayern Munich, Stuttgart or Dortmund and other Bundesliga giants should consider taking this boy away from Gelsenkirchen..."

............

After reading the media reports about himself, Jack Tang was in a good mood. That morning, he and Li Xue walked around together and became familiar with the environment.

Although Gelsenkirxing has been around for so long, Don Jack is really not familiar with other places except for his residence and the surrounding area of the club. The main reason is that he is usually not interested in wandering around. Now, he is interested in a good mood.

Walking on the street, the feeling of this day is completely different from usual.

Before, in the morning, Jack Don trotted from his residence to the club and met a lot of people along the way, but they were not familiar with each other. Jack Don never said hello to anyone else. Even the old man who could see the dog walking every day, they just nod to each other.

But now, when Don Jack took his sister for a casual walk, many passers-by saw that the two went straight forward to say hello---

"Jack, you did a great job yesterday!"

"Is this your girlfriend? It's so beautiful, Jack. You have to treat her well.

"Jack, come on! I'm your fan!"

......

Such greetings can often be heard from the mouths of passers-by, and even a few female fans ran over with red faces and asked Don Jack for an autograph, which gave Don Jack a great sense of satisfaction. He suddenly remembered what Asamoa said yesterday, 'There will be many female fans falling in love with you tomorrow...', my God, Will it be true?

"No, no, poor monks are a woman..." Looking at Li Xue next to him, Jack Tang felt guilty for thinking so about himself.

However, Li Xue stood on one side skillfully, but she didn't seem to complain at all. Instead, her eyes were full of worship of her brother and countless tenderness.

............

Since becoming Don Jack's agent, Maximilian has been much more idle, because he quit his job as a scouting club in Hamburg and began to study for a master's degree in economics. In his spare time, he also paid a little attention to Don Jack's football progress.

In Maximilian, although Don Jack's ability is outstanding, his foundation is not very good. Such a player must train in the first half of the youth team, and his ability can improve a lot. At that time, he may get a semi-professional contract for Don Jack to go to Schalke 04, so that he can really It is on the road to professional football.

At that time, I may have let Don Jack on loan to the Bundesliga for a season, and then if he performs well, he may return to the Bundesliga.

This is the normal trajectory of the development of most players.

Although he thinks so, Maximilian certainly hopes that Don Jack will be more successful, so in his spare time, he also pays attention to Schalke 04 Club.

Open the official website of Schalke 04 Club, Maximilian directly finds the youth team's column and watches their list of players. Every time he opens this column, he sees Don Jack. Maximilian has a sense of achievement in Li's name. He feels that he is really suitable to be an economist. He is very excited to see the names of his players.

His success also represents his own success, doesn't it?

But this time, Maximilian couldn't find Don Jack. Li's name. How is that possible?

Maximilian has been puzzled. He read it carefully from top to bottom, but still couldn't find Don Jack's name. 'Have you been fired, but I haven't received a message?'

Maximilian shook his head and clicked the mouse to return to the official homepage of the club. At this time, he saw the news headline on the club's home page - "Schalke 04 away 0:1 small victory over Frankfurt, young player Jack. Li staged a good show!" It was a transcript of the Gelsenkirxing Post.

"Jior Jack. Li?" At first, Maximilian felt that the name was very familiar, but there was a trace of disbelief in his heart, but a few seconds later he finally realized: "Jack... Entered the first team? My God!"

He suddenly stood up from his seat, patted the table and dialed the phone.

"Jack, are you in the first team? And he scored a goal yesterday?" Maximilian asked hurriedly.

On the other side, Don Jack was a little stunned when he received the phone call. He realized that it was Maximilian: "Well, I entered one yesterday." He has been talking about this issue all day, and now he is even a little irritable.

"God, you should have told me earlier!"

Maximilian was overjoyed. He said, 'Wait for the good news', then hung up the phone, sorted out the lower loading, and rushed straight to Gelsenkirxing.

............

I have to say that every Bundesliga club reacts very quickly.

In modern society, news and intelligence are very important. For football clubs, that is, the news of their opponents is very important. From the next morning, the clubs suddenly found that Schalke 04 had a new player, and their performance was very good, so they began to use All kinds of resources to investigate the newcomer's background, strength, etc.

Unfortunately, the news about Don Jack is at least.

Don Jack. Li, a Moroccan national, was transferred to the Schalke 04 youth team after being rejected during the trial training at the Hamburg Club. After two months of training, he was transferred to the first team. Yesterday's debut show was a good show... It's just a few pieces of information, but there is another one that is the most important thing, that is, the contract between this young boy and Schalke 04 is the lowest-level youth team apprenticeship contract, with a weekly salary of only 150 euros, and the liquidated damages are only 5,000 euros.

God! The pie fell from the sky!

It doesn't matter whether this young boy's goal in the last game is due to luck, but such a player who can be promoted to the first team by Schalke 04 and play as a substitute for the game can at least reach the level of a professional player in the Bundesliga. Does such a player only get a weekly salary of 150 euros? Are you a professional football player?

Even if you don't use it, it's a good choice to rent it out in the club!

For a moment, the transfer management of the Bundesliga club went crazy. They couldn't find Don Jack's phone number, but they could find the phone number of his agent Maximilian. After calling, they all said in a sincere tone, "Donor, this young boy is predestined to our club, and we are willing to Give him a high-priced contract and a large signing fee. Please consider giving him to us..."

As for the liquidated damages of 5,000 euros?

No one talks about this. Everyone knows that these people don't even have a fraction of the signature fee.

So, Maximilian was busy. On the way from home to Gelsenkirgyrgy, he kept calling. At first glance, he was a real business busy person. In fact, just a few hours ago, he was very idle.

However, in his busy schedule, Maximilian was also full of excitement. This was the first player he signed. Unexpectedly, his vision was true, but this guy simply became famous overnight!

Well, the next thing I need to do is to wait for the price. I believe that Schalke 04 Club will definitely offer a price that satisfies you.

Otherwise...

............

Maybe.

However, at this time, there was also a debate within Schalke 04, and head coach Heinx shouted, "Mr. Jepich! I think you must consider giving him a real professional contract as soon as possible!"

Steve, the head of the competition department. Jepic frowned, held his chin for consideration, and said, "But I'm not sure of his ability. What if it's just luck?" As the head of the competition department, Stie. Jepic thinks about more things, and signing a professional player and a youth team player are not a concept at all, which involves financial issues and needs to be reported to the president of the club.

"Be sure to do it as soon as possible! Do you know? The boy's liquidated damages are only 5,000 euros.

Raise this question, Stie. Jepić also has a headache. This is indeed a problem. 5,000 euros is a small number that can't be. If Schalke 04 comes out, I'm afraid that all clubs in the German third-tier professional league are willing to pay this money. "Okay, I'll contact his agent in a minute."

Steve. Jepitch didn't want to sign Jack Don. He just wanted to see if he could procrastinate and see Jack Don's performance.

After all, a game can't decide anything. It's good to become famous overnight, but only by sticking to the performance for a long time can you affirm a player's ability and come up with a contract treatment that is in line with your strength.
