After several incidents of missing out on talent due to contract issues, the management has become particularly concerned about the issue of contracts for young players!
What's wrong with spending some money if they are promising young talents?
Once a player transfers, the money they receive is calculated in multiples!
According to the statistics department's analysis, Andy's data is more than enough to establish him as a player in the top half of the 2.Bundesliga!
This means he's already capable of rotating in the squad for teams in the bottom half of the Bundesliga.
How can a player who is only 18 years old not be considered a genius?
Sports manager Zorc personally oversaw the operation, inviting Andy, his son, and Tom to his villa as guests.
His father, Foster Sr., was also present!
The first issue resolved during the meal was surprisingly the storefront that Comrade Lao An needed.
Old Foster has a 200-square-meter store next to the club's specialty store opposite Dortmund train station!
After discussion, it was rented to Comrade Lao An for 200,000 euros a year!
This price is about 40% lower than the market price!
Of course, behind this goodwill lies Andy's contract issue.
Andy, caught in the middle, didn't feel embarrassed at all!
His goal is to make it into the first team.
His dad is rich.
"The club is prepared to sign a new contract with you."
Zorc seized the opportunity and brought up the topic.
"Oh?Is it a contract with the first team?"
Andy pretended not to know anything and casually remarked.
".Hmm?It's probably in this direction."
Zorc was taken aback by Andy's directness and almost broke down.
I never imagined an 18-year-old could have such a keen sense of smell!
Tom, acting as the interim agent, immediately began finalizing the details with Zorc.
Firstly, the weekly wage will increase tenfold!
The price has increased from 500 euros to 5,000 euros, which works out to nearly 20,000 euros a month!
The contract term is 5 years!
However, the evaluation is conducted annually, and Andy's salary is recalculated once he fulfills the incentive terms.
In addition, performance bonuses and club bonuses have all been changed to basic rewards for first-team players.
No signing fee.
If Andy agrees, he can train with the first team.
After hearing this, Andy pretended to think about it.
It's a password!
Training together but unable to join, are you playing word games with me?
What's the difference between this and just having the name attached to a first-team squad?
Seeing Andy hesitate, Zorc was a little confused.
In the past, young players would be overjoyed when they heard about a pay rise.
Why did Andy frown instead?
"Mr.Zorc, I need a definite first-team spot."
Andy stated his demands.
Then Tom took out his notebook and started writing as he spoke:
"A 5-year contract won't do; it needs to be changed to a 3+2 format.Once Andy reaches the required number of appearances, the contract terms should be automatically upgraded!"
Zorc was about to speak when Tom interrupted him again:
"If possible, we'd like to include a penalty clause.You should be aware of Andy's current market prospects."
Silence is Zorc's tone tonight.
He was asked by both the master and student to say "emo".
It wasn't until after the dinner that a basic framework for the new contract was established.
In the following month, Andy and the team achieved a five-game winning streak in the league.
They've drawn their last two matches!
After 10 rounds of league matches, they have 7 wins and 3 draws, accumulating 24 points and remaining undefeated!
They firmly hold the top spot, leading second-placed Roddhausen and Lotte by 4 points!
Andy has been appointed as the team's second captain by head coach Hans!
The club and Tom have negotiated multiple times, but have been unable to reach an agreement due to the issue of the first-team roster.
It's not a problem with Dortmund's management, but rather that the head coach's team disagrees!
First of all, the team does not currently lack full-backs!
Secondly, everything has a first-come, first-served order!
Since taking over from Klopp in April, head coach Tuchel has been paying close attention to youth development.
Take American youngster Christian Pulisic as an example.
He has won the U17 team championship for the club and is practically guaranteed a spot on the first team roster.
Andy, a player who has only been here for two months, wants to be added directly?
What will others think?
Where is the authority of the head coach's team?
Finally, there's one more minor reason.
That means the second team's head coach, Hans, has ulterior motives!
He didn't want Andy to leave his team.
As the CEO's cousin, he aspires to achieve success in the field of football coaching.
Andy's appearance gave him tremendous confidence!
If Andy leaves, it will be a huge blow to him and the team!
so.
He was very reluctant for Andy to go to the first team!
On September 24th, after a month of preparation, [Old Dortmund Fried Noodles] officially opened for business!
Comrade Lao An generously hosted a banquet for Andy's teammates and their families.
When people were surprised that even the cheapest bowl of noodles cost 30 euros.
Bowls of noodles were brought out one by one!
The steaming noodles were distinct, glistening with a light sheen of oil, like golden threads imbued with life.
The rich and mellow color of the fried sauce, the diced meat inside with its alternating layers of lean and fatty meat, and the enticing aroma!
People carefully picked up a mouthful of noodles with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths.
The flavor of the fried sauce spread throughout my mouth!
Andy watched as his teammates' eyes widened, as if reacting instinctively to the delicious food.
Then, everyone's lips unconsciously curled up into satisfied smiles, as if they were exploring a whole new world of food!
"Is it delicious?"
"Howling Red!"
"marvelous!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Andy couldn't help but imagine.
If such a visually striking scene were recorded and given to domestic marketing accounts.
There will definitely be a lot of exaggerated slices!
Mr.An,This is the best noodles I've ever eaten in my life!
"My father is a Michelin taster.Can I pack one to take home for him to try?"
Comrade Lao An shook his head after hearing the translation.
"My noodles can't be taken away; you have to eat them here!"
Andy was afraid the other party wouldn't understand, so she conveyed her father's words tactfully.
To my surprise, the other party not only didn't mind, but also gave me a thumbs up!
"You are a true gourmet!I'll bring my father to eat here tomorrow!"
"By the way, I think this bowl of noodles should sell for 50 euros!"
Andy was completely numb.
He had expected his noodles to be popular, but he never imagined it would be this outrageous!
It's just a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, isn't it?
500 yuan a bowl, is it made of gold?
After everyone left, Comrade Old An did something even more outrageous.
A notice was created stating, "Limited to 100 bowls per day!"
"Dad, is this reasonable?"
Comrade Lao An calmly blew on the tea leaves in his cup.
"You can only find this kind of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) in the whole world here."
"I've been in business for so long, I know what my customers think."
"It's normal that you don't understand; everyone has their own area of expertise."
"When it comes to football, you're better than Dad."
"In business, you're not as good as me."
After saying that, he drank the tea in one gulp.
As Andy watched his father sway as he left, scalded by the hot water, he felt a pang of emotion.
A father who was strong-willed his whole life.
He always pretends to be relaxed when he leaves.
