Although Zhou Yi has publicly denied the rumors on social media, he still feels that he should communicate with the head coach about this matter.

So the next day when he arrived at Brakel's training base, he ran to knock on the door of head coach Klopp's office without even going to the locker room.

When Klopp saw that it was Zhou Yi, he smiled: "You came for Bayern Munich, right?"

"Well, I want to..."

Zhou Yi just spoke when he was interrupted by Klopp's hand: "Bayern Munich Club just issued a statement on its official website, which admitted that they had contact with your agent and that you had rejected them."

Klopp pointed to the computer on his desk and signaled Zhou Yi to come and take a look.

Zhou Yi came up and saw that it was indeed the official website of Bayern Munich Club.

"It's so straightforward." Zhou Yi glanced a few times and sighed.

"You refute the rumors so quickly and firmly, they can't admit it..." Klopp smiled. "I think they think that the media will ferment this matter for a few more days. Even if your refuting the rumors will be formed, maybe it will make the club and you suspicious of each other. Unexpectedly, you refute the rumors that night and didn't even give them twelve hours... Haha! Now they can't pretend to be dead anymore, they have to come out and say something..."

"I'm not stupid. I'm buckled by someone's head. I'll wear it for a few more days?" Zhou Yi shrugged. "But the club really didn't doubt it?"

"What do you doubt? Do you doubt you are going to Bayern Munich?" Klopp asked back.

"What else can it be?"

"How is that possible? Gotze and Lewandowski have their reasons to go to Bayern Munich. Are you going to Bayern Munich?" Klopp stared at Zhou Yi and shook his head, "I can't figure out why. You said you were going to Real Madrid and Barcelona. I believe that going to Bayern Munich? What are you trying to do? They have been rubbing on the ground by us in recent years."

"Can't it be for the sake of money? Do you know how much annual salary Bayern Munich is planning to give me?" Zhou Yi asked.

"How many?" Klopp was also curious.

“It is said to be one thousand three million.”

"Yo." Klopp raised his eyebrows, "The highest salary in the Bundesliga. Are you tempted?"

"Just kidding, I can't go to Bayern Munich for how much money I give it. This is a matter of principle!" Zhou Yi hummed.

"So you see, what are we going to have to doubt or worry about?" Klopp spread his hands and smiled at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi also laughed.

"Actually, Bayern Munich should know in his heart that you won't go. But they still have to do this, just hope to disgust us and cause us some trouble. Just like last season," Klopp said. "Since that's the case, we have decided to find something for them."

Zhou Yi looked at Klopp and waited for him to continue talking.

"The club intends to sue Bayern Munich with FIFA, protesting that they bypass the club and contact the players privately. This is what they admit themselves... As a mortal enemy, they are trying their best to cause trouble for the other party."

When Zhou Yi heard Klopp say this, he laughed.

All the things that should be said are finished, and Zhou Yi is planning to go back to the locker room. He must explain to his teammates in the locker room.

But just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Klopp, who had already said goodbye to him, suddenly called him.

"I'm very grateful for explaining this matter specifically, Zhou Yi," said Klopp. "I hope we can always maintain such a good communication and trust relationship, whether we are still in the same team..."

Zhou Yi was stunned. Unexpectedly, Klopp would suddenly say this, and then he asked in confusion: "Coach?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel it. If one day you want to leave Dortmund, I hope you can tell me directly, not to read the news before I know..." Klopp shrugged, "Just like last season, Zorke came to me, I realized that Gotze had reached an agreement with Bayern Munich. That hurt me, after all, I was his head coach at that time... I'm not sure if you will leave Dortmund, just like I'm not sure if I will leave Dortmund. I just hope we can keep in touch as well as we are now."

Zhou Yi nodded and gave Klopp a positive answer: "I will, coach. I promise you that if I want to leave, you will be the first to know the news."

Klopp smiled at him without saying a word.

Zhou Yi also turned around and left again, this time Klopp did not speak out to try to keep him.

After Zhou Yi closed the office door, Klopp sat back on his chair and sighed.

※※※

Because he wasted some time in Klopp's office, Zhou Yi was already the last person in the team to go to the locker room. As soon as he pushed open the door of the locker room, he was surrounded by his teammates.

"Zhou Yi! Is Bayern Munich really looking for you?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi.

"Of course." Zhou Yi nodded, not hiding it.

"I'll go... they're so brave!" Everyone was filled with indignation.

"The result was naturally rejected by Zhou Yi. It's really a humiliation..."

Everyone took advantage of the situation to mock their mortal enemy Bayern Munich.

However, some people looked at Zhou Yi worriedly: "You won't really go to Bayern Munich, are you? I'm not saying that now, I know you rejected them, I'm saying who can tell the future exactly..."

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head: "No. If I want to leave Dortmund, I will definitely go to a team outside Germany. I will never go to Bayern Munich in my life."

"Okay! Be ambitious!" Hummels gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up.

When Zhou Yi said, "If I were to leave Dortmund", no one in the locker room expressed objection, and no one even noticed this sentence.

In fact, everyone knows that with Zhou Yi's current ability and state, he cannot stay in Dortmund for the rest of his life. Dortmund is still a little smaller for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi is a person who has the ability to become a world-class superstar, so he should go to the place where superstars go.

Now everyone in the team is not as sensitive as they were in the early years. Everyone knows that this is a matter of time.

Besides, now at Dortmund, he has won all the championships he can win, so what's the point of staying? Dortmund cannot give him the highest Bundesliga contract like Bayern Munich.

Everyone is a professional player and knows that pursuing a better professional environment and treatment is normal, and there is nothing that cannot be understood.

Zhou Yi is different from last season. If Gotze did not go to Bayern Munich, or was exposed to transfer to his mortal enemy when he was in a heated fight for the league championship with Bayern Munich, the rebound sentiment in the locker room would probably not be so high.

Moreover, at that time, Dortmund only won the league championship for two consecutive seasons and had not yet won the Champions League. Now it is different. Zhou Yi and everyone won the Champions League championship and the league championship for three consecutive seasons. These players are satisfied and will not lose their fighting spirit.

After explaining to his teammates, Zhou Yi changed his clothes and went out to train with everyone.

Klopp and the others in the coaching staff did not find any abnormal performances of the Dortmund players through careful observation. They confirmed that the team should not be affected by this matter.

All the coaches were relieved.

The reason why Bayern Munich chose to dig out Dortmund's corner at this time is of course because he wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt Dortmund's normal preparations.

And Dortmund's best response is that everything is as usual.

Then speak with actual performance on the court.

※※※

Dortmund team is training carefully to prepare for the weekend's game against Hoffenheim.

The war between the club's senior management did not stop.

Dortmund's local media reported that the Dortmund club had decided to sue Bayern Munich club to FIFA, accusing them of violating FIFA's regulations, bypassing the club, and directly contacting players who were not contracted and expired six months.

This news was quickly reprinted by other media and attracted attention and discussion.

FIFA does have such regulations, but in fact, many times people don’t take this regulation seriously. Because who club has not privately contacted other people’s players?

The law does not blame the masses. There are too many such things, and managers turn a blind eye.

This is the so-called unspoken rule.

But after all, this is a clear provision written in the charter. If someone must be more serious, he can still talk about it.

From a procedural and public opinion perspective, it can be supported.

There are also many clubs who choose to use this rule to deter clubs that are interested in their players and make small moves in private.

This is the purpose of Dortmund Club doing this now.

They don't really want to sue FIFA, otherwise they wouldn't have made any noise in advance. This is actually warning Bayern Munich to keep the opponent away from their players.

First, Zhou Yi refuted the rumor, and then Dortmund officially announced that he wanted to sue FIFA.

Bayern Munich, who is completely inappropriate here, is not easy to say anything. That night, the sports director of Bayern Munich Club, Summer, said in an interview with reporters: "...We did not have private contact with Dortmund's players, which is a misunderstanding. We respect Dortmund, and we will never do such a thing..."

Although there was no positive apology, it was considered as surrendering.
