Chapter 26 Car

The next day when Zhou Yi went to training, he finally understood why Großkreutz had told him to buy a car, and why he had wished him good luck...

As usual, he dressed neatly, carried the backpack he had brought from his home in China, and ran from his residence to the training ground.

At first, nothing seemed amiss.

Until he was about to reach the training base, someone spotted him.

"Zhou Yi! It's Zhou Yi!"

This shout exploded like a bolt from the blue above everyone's heads. The fans who had been eagerly waiting at the entrance of the training base all looked in the direction of the sound, and then locked their eyes on Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi didn't realize what was happening at first, and he slowed down reflexively.

This gave those fans the opportunity to rush up and surround him.

In an instant, Zhou Yi was in the thick of it.

"Zhou Yi! Give me an autograph!"

"Zhou Yi! I love you! I have to tell you in person!"

"Zhou Yi, can I take a photo with you?"

...

Countless fans surrounded Zhou Yi, each making various requests. Some even remembered Zhou Yi's nickname "Wizard" and insisted that Zhou Yi bless them...

Even though Zhou Yi had seen scenes of being surrounded by fans for autographs before, this time, he was still a little overwhelmed...

Because it was the first time he had been surrounded by so many people!

These people were like sharks that had smelled blood, rushing in from all directions of the ocean, ready to tear him to pieces...

Even though Zhou Yi had always liked to satisfy all the fans' requests, this time he felt a little weak in the knees.

Because he felt that if he had to satisfy everyone's autograph requests, it would be difficult even if he used both hands at the same time.

So for the first time, he had the idea of ​​fleeing from the crowd of fans...

While signing autographs for the fans crowded around him and fulfilling their requests, he struggled to squeeze forward.

But how could the fans let him run away so easily?

In the end, Zhou Yi spent nearly half an hour walking to the gate of the training base. Usually, even if fans asked him for autographs, it wouldn't take him more than three minutes to walk those ten meters.

Everyone was relatively restrained then.

Completely different from today's crazy situation...

With great difficulty, Zhou Yi shook off the fans and squeezed into the training base. Seeing the security guard watching the excitement from the side, he asked, "What's going on?"

"It must be because of your performance in the Ruhr derby the day before yesterday." After the security uncle finished speaking, he smiled and handed over a Zhou Yi's star card and a pen.

As soon as Zhou Yi saw this, he knew what the other party was going to do. He really didn't expect that after shaking off the fans, someone was still waiting for him here... He had no choice but to take the items and sign his name for the security uncle.

"Thank you. Ha! Go Zhou Yi! I'm your fan now!" The security uncle said happily, holding the Zhou Yi's autographed star card.

In the locker room, Großkreutz asked Zhou Yi, "How does it feel to be squeezed out of the crowd?"

Zhou Yi was slightly surprised: "How do you know?"

"When I drove by, no one paid any attention to me at all, they were all surrounding you. How could I not know? I'm heartbroken, all the limelight has been stolen by you!" Großkreutz said, wiping away non-existent tears.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at him.

"What do you think, was I right? You really need a car." Großkreutz said.

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "It's useless even if I have one, I don't have a driver's license, so I can't drive."

"You can buy a car for me, and I'll be your driver! And it's free!" Großkreutz said righteously.

But Zhou Yi really wanted to give him the middle finger, so he ignored Großkreutz.

However, he was indeed considering getting a driver's license in his heart.

※※※

After training, Zhou Yi did not refuse Großkreutz's kindness to drive him home this time. After all, if he walked out of the training base so openly, he might be surrounded by more fans outside, and he wouldn't be able to escape for an hour.

Because there were the most fans after training, and everyone would wait here for the players to come out and ask for autographs.

If there were a hundred fans when going to training, there might be two or three hundred fans waiting outside after training.

It's not that Zhou Yi didn't want to satisfy the fans' requests and started to act like a big shot. It was because after a day of high-intensity training set by Klopp, Zhou Yi was exhausted. He really didn't have the energy and spirit to spend time with the fans outside. It would be better to go home and rest.

Sitting in Großkreutz's car, when driving out of the training base, Zhou Yi hid in the back seat with privacy glass, watching the fans outside who were looking forward to it. They were completely ignoring Großkreutz.

"See, they don't even look at my car, these people are waiting for you! I'm afraid they came here specifically to block you after hearing what those people said in the morning." Großkreutz said to Zhou Yi while driving through the crowd.

Zhou Yi, who was shrinking in the back seat, stuck out his tongue when he heard this.

How scary!

Fortunately, I chose to hide in Großkreutz's car...

After arriving home, Zhou Yi put down his bag and picked up his mobile phone to call his agent Schulze to ask him about getting a driver's license.

"Ah, you really need to get a driver's license, Zhou Yi!" Schulze was very happy that Zhou Yi could have such an idea.

After all, as a star player, although walking to training seemed more approachable, it was too approachable, and it would also increase many dangers.

After all, after you have money, you may be targeted by some people with ulterior motives?

If you are always so "close to the masses", it will also make the agent Schulze very worried.

Football players who earn a lot of money are indeed likely to become the target of some criminals, and they and their families will face the risk of being kidnapped, extorted and defrauded.

Having a car won't be much safer, but it will be safer than it is now.

After Zhou Yi expressed his willingness to take a driver's license, the next thing was for Schulze to do. He had to arrange for Zhou Yi to learn how to drive.

The next day, Zhou Yi received a call from Schulze, telling him that the matters related to applying for a driving school had been completed, and the next thing was Zhou Yi's own business, but he would accompany him.

Then he told Zhou Yi everything he needed to learn to drive.

Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he heard this: "First aid course? Aren't I learning to drive? Why do I need to learn first aid?"

"Because in Germany, if there is a traffic accident and someone is injured, you have an obligation to get out of the car and take first aid measures. You know, in Germany, there is a law that stipulates that 'ignoring the responsibility to provide assistance' is illegal. So you must master some first aid knowledge... If you encounter someone in a car accident while driving in the future and they ask for help on the roadside, you must provide assistance. Of course, if damage is caused due to benevolent assistance, you can be exempted from liability."

Schulze explained.

"Uh... okay." Zhou Yi heard about such a regulation for the first time, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. It's okay in the city, but if it's in the suburbs and you encounter a car accident and crash into a tree, you might be dead by the time the ambulance arrives, so at this time, every driver has an obligation to get out of the car and provide first aid, and call the hospital.

In this way, Zhou Yi began his driving school studies.

There was also an episode here, that is, when Zhou Yi went to the first aid class for the first time, he was recognized by the students and teachers, so before the official class, Zhou Yi first satisfied everyone's autograph and photo requests before the classroom order returned to normal.

While Zhou Yi was learning to drive, the league continued.

Through the Ruhr derby against Schalke 04, both cores of Dortmund found their feeling and rhythm, and they were finally able to play the double-core tactics that Klopp was satisfied with.

In fact, the game against Schalke 04 was a good demonstration of the double-core tactics. The original design of the double-core was also to hope that when one core was marked to death and unable to exert its strength, the other core could lead the team to break through.

So in the game against Schalke 04, if there was no Zhou Yi after Sahin fell into the quagmire, Dortmund might have lost that game.

However, through that game, plus the game against Hannover, everyone also clearly understood how to play the double-core tactics specifically.

The next thing is very simple, continue to strengthen in daily training, so that everyone understands and is familiar with this tactic, and then show it in the game.

On March 6, Dortmund defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3:0 at home. In this game, both Zhou Yi and Sahin played well. Under the leadership of the double-core, Dortmund not only completely defeated their opponents in terms of score, but also completely suppressed Borussia Mönchengladbach in the game. The Dortmund fans at the scene were very happy to see it.

In this game, Sahin contributed an assist. Although Zhou Yi did not have an assist, the team completely defeated their opponents in terms of both the game and the score, which was inseparable from his threading the needle in the midfield.

After the game, the local media in Dortmund declared that Dortmund's double-core tactics had taken shape, and the next step was to continue to polish them. In the end, these two young people were likely to become the cornerstone of Dortmund's revival!

Everyone is looking forward to the future where Zhou Yi and Sahin, the double-core, will cooperate seamlessly in the Bundesliga, and even in the Champions League next season, to help the team move forward...
