Chapter 221 New Team Doctor

Dortmund fans sincerely hoped that Zhou Yi could stay with the team. So when the news spread, every time Zhou Yi signed autographs for the fans, they would express their heartfelt gratitude to him.

Including "Old Man" Bruno.

"I'm really happy you can stay in Dortmund, Zhou Yi!" Bruno gave Zhou Yi a hug when he saw him.

"I never said I was leaving Dortmund, Old Man." Being hugged by Bruno felt like being embraced by a bear—a true bear hug.

"But we were worried about that. We all know about Dortmund's situation. In previous years, the club was short on money, which made them used to living frugally. I'm not one of those idiotic fans who only demand players to unconditionally dedicate themselves to the team without expecting anything in return. If the club can't meet the players' reasonable financial demands, it's normal for players to move around," Bruno said.

"I've seen a lot of that kind of movement. At first, I would get angry about players leaving, thinking they were betraying us. But later, I let it go. You can't expect a player to give his body and youth, but only receive a salary that doesn't match his contributions. But back then, we really didn't have any money, we owed so much debt. If we didn't pay it back, the club would go bankrupt. So there's nothing to complain about, we just went through the tough times with the club. Now it seems like we're almost through it."

Bruno smiled as he said, "almost through it."

"So I want to thank you specifically, Zhou Yi. For you, it might be a calm and rational decision after considering many factors, but for us ordinary fans, no matter what your considerations are, we're all happy that you finally decided to stay."

Old Man's sincerity moved Zhou Yi a bit, and he rubbed his nose. "I also want to thank you for your understanding, Old Man. As a thank you, I'll work hard to help the team win the championship. Aren't the media questioning our chances of successfully defending the league title?"

Hearing Zhou Yi say that, Bruno laughed heartily, "Then I'll start looking forward to this season!"

"Stay tuned!"

In the third round of the league after announcing that Zhou Yi and the club had successfully renewed his contract, Zhou Yi helped the team easily defeat Nuremberg 2-0 in the home game against Nuremberg with a goal and an assist.

The local media in Dortmund said this was the best contract renewal gift Zhou Yi had given to Dortmund fans.

Throughout the game, Zhou Yi received the most and loudest cheers, and no one could compare to him.

After the game, some commented that after this contract renewal, Zhou Yi's prestige in Dortmund might be second only to the team's head coach, Klopp.

That was no exaggeration.

After the game against Nuremberg, Zhou Yi had a day off.

After the end of this day off, he returned to the team for training.

In the locker room, people always gathered in groups of three or five to chat with good friends. Professional players are also ordinary people, and the topics they talk about aren't necessarily high-end. And... they are particularly interested in gossip.

As soon as Zhou Yi entered the locker room, Mark approached him. "Have you heard, Zhou Yi!"

"Heard what?" Zhou Yi was confused.

"I heard that our team doctor group is getting a new member!"

"What does that have to do with us?" Zhou Yi spread his hands, feeling inexplicable. He hoped that he would never have anything to do with the team doctor group in his life. The physiotherapy room was not a lovely place. Who would want to go there if they didn't have to?

"I heard that this new person is a great beauty!" Mark said excitedly, his nostrils flared, and his breathing became noticeably heavier. "Just imagine, a beautiful woman giving you a massage and physiotherapy, my God... Why don't I have a groin injury?"

Zhou Yi quickly supported Mark. "Don't go weak in the knees, Mark."

"Oh, when I think about it like that, it seems like getting injured has become a lovely thing..." Mark said dreamily.

"Don't talk nonsense, even if she's an absolute beauty, I don't want to go to that place." Zhou Yi had been sensitive to the topic of injuries ever since he pulled a muscle last season. He even thought that a professional player's biggest enemy wasn't opponents, but injuries. If you get injured, no matter how talented you are, it's useless.

"Haha, don't be nervous, Zhou Yi. I'm just kidding, of course I don't want to get injured either, but having a beauty around makes training more motivated, doesn't it?" Mark laughed.

"You're a typical hormone-driven idiot," Zhou Yi said, pointing at Mark.

"Tch, as if you don't care at all."

"Why would I care? It has nothing to do with me," Zhou Yi shrugged.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was really not interested, Gotze happened to push the door in, so Mark ran excitedly to share this big news with Gotze.

Watching Mark's excitement from behind, Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly.

This kid must be lovesick, right?

Speaking of which, he should be lovesick... He's almost twenty years old, his career is somewhat successful, but he doesn't have a girlfriend yet. In Germany, where even **** is legal, that's really too strange...

In fact, it wasn't just Mark who was so excited. The other players were also very happy when they heard that the team had hired a beautiful new physiotherapist. Everyone was young, and who didn't like beautiful women?

After changing clothes in the locker room, everyone couldn't wait to get to the training ground—perhaps this was the most active they had ever been in going to the training ground. Because they knew that if the coaching staff and team doctor group had new members, they would definitely introduce them to everyone.

So everyone was excited and wanted to see just how beautiful this legendary beauty was...

Zhou Yi was also speechless. What's the use of having a beautiful team doctor? Would you pretend to be sick just to meet the beautiful team doctor? This isn't a health care doctor in a Japanese anime...

After the players had gathered on the field and waited for a while, the coaching staff came first, and then Dr. Braun also appeared.

He walked over from a distance, accompanied by a long-haired woman. Because of the distance, it was hard to see clearly, and it was hard to know if her face was really beautiful, but just looking at it like that, at least her figure was good.

Someone whistled.

"Just looking at her figure, you can tell she's definitely beautiful!" Mark said.

"Superficial!" Zhou Yi snorted. "It's not like I haven't seen people who look like they should be arrested from behind, but you want to retreat when you see their face!"

The two walked straight over, closer and closer.

Everyone could see the woman's face clearly: that high nose bridge, those lively eyes, those sexy lips... She was indeed a beauty!

The whistling and cheering grew louder and louder.

Klopp next to him didn't stop them, but smiled at these young lads.

He knew that this was a normal reaction for young people when they saw a beautiful woman. If they saw a beautiful woman in front of them and didn't react at all, then there would be a problem.

But while everyone was cheering and happy, two people in the team were stunned.

After a long time, Zhou Yi nudged Mark next to him, "Mark, you have to hold on, don't do anything impulsive to this woman, a single slip can cause eternal regret..."

Mark shook off his arm, "Am I crazy? That's my sister!"

"You know she's your sister!" Zhou Yi looked at him. "This is the beauty you were talking about?"

"Why isn't my sister a beauty?" Mark retorted to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was speechless.

Objectively speaking, setting aside all prejudices, Kotana Wagner was indeed... a beauty.

But who the hell would have thought that Kotana would come back to work at the Dortmund club?

Didn't she hate athletes the most? Wasn't she very disdainful of players?

"Let me introduce you, Kotana Wagner. A top student in sports medicine, she's here at our club for an internship. She's a local from Dortmund," Klopp introduced Kotana to the players simply.

Kotana greeted the players, whose eyes were filled with hearts, with a faint smile, "Hello everyone, I hope we can get along well."

Grosskreutz shouted, "She's just an intern? Doesn't that mean she'll be leaving soon?"

"If she performs well during her internship, we'll also sign a contract with Kotana," Klopp said. "Don't get any ideas, Kevin. You have a girlfriend."

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Yi noticed that Kotana also had a faint smile in the laughter, her expression unchanged.

He still didn't understand how Kotana came to work in Dortmund...

He stared at Kotana, but Kotana didn't seem to see him at all, her eyes were like water, her expression unchanged.

This was really ghostly...

That was all Zhou Yi could think about now.

Mark was also completely confused at this moment. He never thought that his sister would come to intern at the Dortmund club!

He stared blankly at his sister, as if he was meeting her for the first time in twenty years...
