Champion’s Heart

v2 Chapter 70: Go to line 1

Mark stared blankly at the TV screen, and Pick picked up the football and passed it to Xavi. Xavi turned back and passed the ball to Iniesta. Iniesta took the ball next to the dumbfounded Sahin Passed, and then passed the football to Messi.

  

   Facing Dortmund center defender Subic, Messi broke through easily, entered the penalty area and shot!

  

  Weidenfeller made a save but failed to save Messi's shot.

  

  Football hit the net and Barcelona won the match by 2:0!

  

   Champions League Champions, completely say goodbye to Mark.

  

Mark slowly turned his head to look at the door, his dull eyes gradually became clear, and then he jumped from the ground, rushed to the door and yelled down: "Zhou Yi-what are you howling!!! My Champions League !!!My Champions League champion ah ah ah ah!!! You-lose!!!"

  

   "What other games are you playing, Mark! Packing things and going out quickly! We are going to Bracker!" Zhou Yi yelled downstairs.

  

   "Why? Isn't the season over? Now it's a holiday, what are you doing at the training base?" Mark wondered.

  

   "Go to sign a contract! Professional contract!" Zhou Yi shouted.

  

   went back to the busy Mrs. Wagner in the kitchen to hear Zhou Yi's words, and her hands froze.

  

   Soon, she heard a dense and messy footsteps coming from above her head.

  

  Mark appeared at the stairs, he grabbed the railing and leaned down, looking at Zhou Yi: "Are you kidding, Zhou Yi?"

  

   "Who's kidding? Mr. Ricken called to inform you, me and you, go to Bracker now and sign a professional contract!" Zhou Yixing shouted at Mark, strenuously.

  

   Mark froze for a moment, then turned around and ran back: "I'll change clothes!"

  

   Zhou Yi also ran upstairs with him, he also had to get things.

  

  ※※※

  

   Russ Ricky held his mobile phone and listened helplessly to the various shouts and footsteps from inside.

  

   "Hello, Zhou Yi?" he asked tentatively. "Are you still on the phone, Zhou Yi?"

  

   answered him with the vague voice of Mrs. Wagner: "I call your father back, Mark, and let him send you!"

  

   Then came various footsteps...

  

   Zhou Yi did not answer Ricken.

  

   Apparently, Zhou Yi seemed to forget that he was still talking to himself, so he ran away.

  

  He has also been a youth training supervisor for a year. He has been responsible for informing some players to sign professional contracts, but it is the first time he has been notified of such action...

  

   He smiled and shook his head, and then hung up the phone himself.

  

  Forget about the rest, wait until he comes to the training base...

  

  ※※※

  

  Mark's father was working in the company and suddenly received a call from his wife. After listening quietly to the phone, he hung up and went to the boss to ask for leave.

  

   "Uh, old Wagner, we haven't got off work yet..." The boss pointed to the clock on the wall to remind old Wagner.

  

  Old Wagner nodded: "I know, sir. But I have to go home."

  

   "The reason?" the boss asked.

  

   "My son wants to sign a professional contract with Dortmund Club, and I want to send them to the club."

  

   "Ah? Ah!" The boss froze for a moment after hearing the news, and then slapped. "Okay, I'm on leave! Go ahead! This is a very important thing!"

  

   "Thank you sir." Old Wagner turned and left the boss's office.

  

   came out of the company, old Wagner silently drove the car fast, and returned home at the fastest speed.

  

  When his car had just stopped at the door of the house, Zhou Yi, Mark, and Mrs. Wagner opened the door and came out, they were ready.

  

   "Get in the car, children." Mrs. Wagner pushed the two children into the car and sat in the co-pilot herself.

  

   "Unfortunately, the time is too sudden, too late to inform your sister." Sitting in the car, Mrs. Wagner still felt a little regret. "However, I will call her back to dinner, we must celebrate it at night!"

  

  Finally, she patted the car's center console and announced with great interest: "Start! Go to Bracker!"

  

   It felt like the person who wanted to sign a professional contract with Dortmund was not Mark, but she...

  

  ※※※

  

   On the way, Mark and Zhou Yi looked forward to a better life after signing a professional contract. They will no longer be a youth contract. In terms of income, they will be much better than they are now. They can be regarded as real professional players, relying on the salaries paid by the club to support themselves, without having to rely on their parents.

  

   In the speaking room, the car had reached the parking lot outside the Bracker training base. After seeing the old Wagner and Zhou Yi and Mark, the guard at the door raised the railing without saying anything and let it go.

  

   These people often send their children to parents who are trained by the club. The guards have long known that there is no need to check any documents.

  

   But the guard is also strange, isn’t the youth team already on vacation, what do these two kids come to the training base again?

  

   When the car was still in the parking lot, the rear door was opened by Mark. He could not wait to jump out of the car, followed by Zhou Yi. After they got out of the car, they wanted to run in, but was stopped by Mrs. Wagner.

  

   "Wait a minute, kids!"

  

   She came down from the co-pilot, walked quickly to the two eager teenagers, and then sorted out the clothes of the two.

  

   "Don't run, how ugly the gasping signing will be." She said to the two children. "Be calm, you guys are professional players!"

  

  Mark scratched his head embarrassedly, Zhou Yi just laughed.

  

   "Go." Looking at the two children, Mrs. Wagner said lovingly.

  

   The two turned around and walked to the Qingxunlou. At first, they could keep their pace, and they didn't go too fast. But in the back, it was difficult to restrain the inner joy and movements, the faster and faster, and finally I ran away.

  

  Mrs. Wagner looked at the backs of the two children running, but just shook her head with a smile, but did not stop.

  

  Because this is the nature of the child.

  

  ※※※

  

  Riken waited for Zhou Yi and Mark in his office to see them panting, and their cheeks were still flushed. Rike asked with a pretense surprise, "Wouldn't you just run from home?"

  

   "How is it possible, sir. We don't have that physical strength, we ran from the parking lot." Zhou Yi said.

  

  Riken smiled.

  

   "Okay, come on, you can look at the contract, you can ask any questions at any time." Rickon pushed the two children to the chair and sat down, with the contract text in front of them.

  

   Actually in general. Signing professional contracts should always be accompanied by an agent, even for youth players. Now players are more and more precocious, they can enter the first team when they are 17 or 18 years old, and even become the main force, so the agents have already extended their tentacles to the youth team, as long as they have talent For famous young players, agents will come to you.

  

  However, the speed at which Mark and Zhou Yi emerged is too short, so neither of them has an agent yet.

  

   The nature of the contract can only be seen by yourself.

  

   In fact, Zhou Yi couldn't understand the contract. The complicated legal terms made him suddenly think of the paragraphs in the political textbook that need to be memorized.

  

   Zhou Yi only cares about two points-contract length and salary, time and money.

  

   This is the only thing he can understand.

  

   And professional players' contract, to put it plainly, is actually the most important one.

  

   How long he plays in a team determines the player's next development. The more famous players are also reluctant to sign a contract with a small team for too long. However, this is not a problem for the youth team players, because they often have not achieved fame. At this time, they are often pursuing stability, rather than using the team as a springboard.

  

  Meanwhile, the club also treats the contract with different age limits. For those talented players, clubs often give a long-term contract, ten years and eight years, and five years and six years is normal.

  

   And for those youth players with average qualifications, clubs usually control the period of time relatively short, such as three years and four years. It can also be seen in three or four years whether an 18-year-old player can develop to the future. If the three seasons have passed, the player still has no good performance, and the progress tends to stop, it can indicate that the player has not met the requirements of his team, then the club will choose to expire the contract He sold him the previous year, or simply waited for the contract to expire and not renew it.

  

   Zhou Yi glanced at his contract period-eight years.

  

  He is eighteen years old this year and twenty-six years old after eight years. He is in the golden age of his career.

  

  From this age, we can see that Dortmund Club is still very optimistic about Zhou Yi’s future. Of course, there is a reason for their optimism, this is Zhou Yi's own performance won the optimism.

  

   has just arrived in the youth team for eight months, and has become the absolute core of the two youth teams, helping the Dortmund Youth A team to win two important matches. It is a talented player second only to Goetze.

  

   such a talent and performance, naturally worthy of the attention of the club.

  

  Zhou Yi has no opinion on the contract period of eight years, because he knows very well that the first professional contract in his life is not always fulfilled until the contract expires.

  

  As long as you are well insured, this contract will definitely be re-signed. At that time, whether it is salary or years will be revised.

  

   So now there is no need to worry about whether it is eight years or six years.

  

   The contract period is no problem, Zhou Yi looks at the remuneration next.

  

   As the first professional contract in life, the salary is often not too high.

  

   But this is not too high compared with those of the first-team stars, compared with an ordinary working-class people, the salary of professional players is still very impressive.

  

   differs from the English team's claim that the weekly salary is different. The Bundesliga teams all say the annual salary.

  

   So what is Zhou Yi's annual salary?

  

  The contract says 150,000 euros.

  

   150,000 euros!

  

   Converted into RMB, that is a bonus of 1.5 million!

  

   Zhou Yicai is eighteen years old, and he has already become a million-year-old!

  

   And this is more money, his parents may take a lifetime to earn in terms of their current income. Now it is only Zhou Yi's income for one year.

  

   This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yi must be a professional player.

  

  Not only for the dream of football in my heart, but also for the money.

  

   But... Zhou Yi, who is in a happy period, suddenly saw that the contract also marked a point, these 150,000 are... pre-tax annual salary!

  

   150,000 before tax, how much after tax?

  

   Zhou Yi raised his head and asked Ricken: "Sir, that... how is the German personal income tax collected?"

  

  Riken seemed to be prepared for a long time. When Zhou Yi asked, he handed him a piece of paper. Zhou Yi took a look and it was a table of German personal income tax rates.

  

  The above clearly shows the tax rates for different income classes in Germany.

  

  If the annual income is less than 7646 euros, no tax is required.

  

  The annual income is between 7,665 Euros and 12,700 Euros

   Yuan, the tax rate is 15%.

  

   The tax rate for annual income is between 24,740 Euros and 52,151 Euros, 24%.

  

   The tax rate for annual income of more than 52,151 euros is 45 percent.

  

   Zhou Yi made a comparison, and found that he had to pay 45 percent tax, and suddenly felt good heartache.

  

  After paying 150,000, only 80,000 Euros will be left...

  

  Ricken saw that Zhou Yi was still studying taxes, so he asked, "Yes, Zhou Yi, do you have a religious belief?"

  

   "No." Zhou Yi shook his head. "I am atheist."

  

   "Oh, then you escaped." Riken smiled.

  

   "Ah?" Zhou Yi did not understand.

  

"If you have a religious belief, you have to pay a church tax of 3% to 4% of your income. But if you have no religious belief, you don't have to pay this tax. Germany is a state of religion after all. This is a mandatory requirement. In addition, you have to pay about 11,000 euros of social insurance each year." Liken sees Zhou Yi who is very concerned about income, and explained in detail.

  

  He said this, Zhou Yi calculated, and found that his income was less, only 80,000 and only 70,000...

  

   Before, he still thought that the annual salary of 150,000 was quite high, but now he feels that there is not much at all!

  

  While Zhou Yi was still struggling with income, Mark next to him had decided to sign the contract.

  

   "You finished reading?" Zhou Yi asked strangely.

  

   "Well, there is nothing good looking, and it has always been my ideal to be a professional player in Dortmund." Mark laughed.

  

   Then Mark signed his name on the contract.

  

   And Zhou Yi saw that Mark had signed, there was nothing to say. This is the case anyway. He is not a professional broker. He is not good at bargaining with clubs. Anyway, it is the first contract in life. Although he is not particularly satisfied with his income, it is also Give Zhou Yi the impetus to continue to work hard-perform well, and then sign a big contract again!

  

   So Zhou Yi also wanted to sign.

  

  Riken handed over the pen, but Zhou Yi waved his hand and refused to drop it. He felt a Montblanc pen from his pocket, and Riken felt familiar.

  

   "This was given to you last time you signed the contract?" he asked.

  

   Zhou Yi nodded: "I specially used to sign the contract."

  

  Riken smiled.

  

  Zhou Yi unscrewed the pen cap and signed his name on the contract. From this moment, he officially became a professional player.

  

   achieved his original goal.

  

   But Zhou Yi is very clear.

  

   Becoming a professional player is just the beginning. If he can't play in the first team, even if he has a professional contract, it doesn't make sense.

  

  Germany stipulates that you can sign a professional contract at the age of 18, so this is just a routine, and does not mean that you can really play in the first team.

  

  Now he is not even a first-team player, let alone playing in the first team.

  

  ※※※

  

   After the signing of the two parties, Riken took out the camera and took a photo and a group photo for the two people as a memorial.

  

   Then nothing happened. The two wanted to say goodbye and went out to tell the good news to the Wagners who were waiting outside.

  

   But Ricken stopped Zhou Yi: "Chou Yi, please stay with me, I have something to say."

  

   Zhou Yi and Mark are very strange, Zhou Yi pointed to himself: "Is it only me?"

  

  Riken nodded.

  

   "Then I'm waiting for you outside." Mark quickly said to Zhou Yi, then said goodbye to Ricken and went out.

  

  He closed the door, and now only Ricken and Zhou Yi were left in the office.

  

   "Come, sit first." Rickon motioned for Zhou Yi to sit, so Zhou Yi sat on the sofa.

  

   and Rickon returned to his desk and sat at the corner of the desk while looking at the buttocks.

  

   "What are your plans for this holiday, Zhou Yi?" he asked.

  

   "Go home, sir." Zhou Yi replied.

  

   "Oh? Is the ticket booked?"

  

   "Is the club going to be reimbursed?" Zhou Yi's eyes flashed, thinking Ricken cared about his ticket for this matter.

  

  Riken didn't expect Zhou Yi to have such a big brain hole, he quickly waved his hand: "You think too much. I'm afraid you will lose some fees when you refund the ticket.

  

   "Refund? Why should I refund?" Zhou Yi is puzzled~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the case, Zhou Yi, you may not be able to go home for a holiday. "Riken said.

  

   Zhou's eyes widened in doubt.

  

   "I received a call from Klopp before. During the summer training, you will be transferred to the first team to train with the team."

  

   Zhou Yi opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Liken.

  

"And the first team's training start time is July 2nd, so...you have no time to go home, Zhou Yi. But I want to remind you that you are just following the first team training, it does not mean that you are the first team player Whether you can stay in the first team, everything depends on your performance during the training."

  

   "Just you and Goze. Go to the first team training for the entire U19." Riken added.

  

   Zhou Yi froze-there is no mark.

  

  Zhou Yi understands why he should be left alone to say this matter-this kind of thing is always awkward in the face of Mark.

  

   But Zhou Yi is in trouble now, how to face Mark in a while?

  

   He originally thought that Mark would rely on his outstanding performance during this period, if he wants to go to the first team, he will definitely go with him.

  

   did not expect them to separate.

  

   was able to be selected for the first team and went to training, it should be a very happy thing, but now Zhou Yi is suddenly not so happy.

  

  Mark worked so hard and wanted to go to the first team. His efforts over the past few months, he all looked at
