A big contract with a weekly salary of 20,000 euros.

The second half of the match started quickly.

With the experience from the first half, Ye Chen's coordination with the team improved noticeably, and his movements became more agile.

Shinji Kagawa's strength lay in his ability to keenly observe his teammates' running directions and make accurate predictions.

However, trouble soon followed for Ye Chen. Due to his outstanding performance, he attracted the attention of the opposing defenders, making it more difficult for him to receive the ball.

Of course, this wouldn't stop Ye Chen.

The essence of off-the-ball movement is to find opportunities to receive passes and create threats.

Instead of running into the penalty area, Ye Chen roamed around its outskirts.

His playing style was completely different from Lewandowski's, but as for who was better... only goals could prove that!

At 35 minutes and 24 seconds, Perišić on the left side directly broke through Owomoyela and passed the ball back to Ye Chen in a cutback.

Ye Chen received the ball and charged into the penalty area, prompting Subotić to rush forward.

Facing Subotić, Ye Chen feigned a shot but instead cut inside. However, Subotić didn't fall for the trick and followed him closely.

At the next moment, Ye Chen used his toe to tap the ball back to Perišić, who had advanced into position.

Perišić then unleashed a powerful shot toward the near post.

The ball hit the net with a crisp sound.

Yellow Team 2 - 1 Red Team!

Perišić jumped onto Ye Chen excitedly, "Nice pass, little brother!"

"It was your shot that was impressive. That angle was so tight!"

After a brief celebration, the game resumed.

At 43 minutes and 38 seconds, Ye Chen received a pass from Shinji Kagawa and took a decisive shot without hesitation.

However, Hummels threw himself in front of the ball and blocked it, but the Yellow Team won a corner kick as a result.

Seeing his beautiful long-range shot get blocked, Ye Chen showed a bit of regret. But when he glanced at his [Long Shot 4/5] skill bar, his disappointment vanished instantly.

After four long shots, he had finally accumulated enough points!

Seeing Kagawa preparing to take the corner kick, Ye Chen raised his hand to request the ball.

Kagawa didn't hesitate, as this training match was meant to evaluate Ye Chen's ability.

"Bang!"

Kagawa passed the ball to Ye Chen, who turned and dribbled toward the top of the penalty arc.

The defenders inside the box quickly adjusted their positions, with Owomoyela charging toward Ye Chen.

But just as Owomoyela attempted a sliding tackle, Ye Chen nudged the ball a bit further outside the box.

At the same time, he skillfully maneuvered around the fallen Owomoyela!

The next second, under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Chen swung his leg and unleashed a powerful shot.

The ball streaked through the air like lightning, heading straight for the top left corner of the goal.

No matter how sharp Weidenfeller's reflexes were, he was still a split second too slow to react.

"Swish!"

The ball struck the net precisely in the top corner, producing a crisp, satisfying sound!

For a moment, all the players were stunned.

The next second, they rushed toward Ye Chen in celebration.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Klopp didn't hesitate any longer. He turned to the substitute bench and called out to Langerak, "Go and replace Ye!"

"Yes, boss!" Langerak immediately got up.

Beside him, Buvac chuckled, "Old friend, can't wait any longer, huh?"

"I'm going to find the manager. You take Ye to freshen up!" Klopp said firmly. He needed to act fast so that Ye Chen could be ready for the seventh league match!

"No problem!" Buvac's smile grew wider. At the same time, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Solskjaer, "Thanks, Leo. Wish you all the best at Molde!"

Solskjaer had voluntarily resigned from his position as Manchester United U18's head coach to return to his hometown and manage Molde FK.

"Beep beep!"

"Ye, come here!"

"What's up, boss?" Ye Chen jogged off the field and noticed Klopp was already gone.

"Of course, we're taking you to sign a contract. But first, go take a shower… Do you have a guardian or an agent? Should we call them over?" Buvac asked with a broad smile.

Ye Chen was momentarily stunned. Did this mean he had made it?

After all, this was Borussia Dortmund, a world-renowned club!

"Yes!"

Even though he had lived two lifetimes, Ye Chen couldn't help but cheer in excitement.

"Alright, go freshen up quickly. Don't keep Jürgen waiting!" Buvac said cheerfully.

"Thank you, Mr. Buvac!"

With that, Ye Chen dashed into the locker room.

...

Ten minutes later, in Klopp's office.

"Jürgen, offering such a high salary to a 17-year-old? That's a huge loss!" Watzke looked at Klopp in disbelief.

"Trust me, this kid is worth every penny!"

"But he's only 17! No matter how talented, he can't be worth that much!" Watzke insisted. "And don't forget, he's from China. China is a football wasteland!"

"I didn't call you here to question my decision, but to get the paperwork done quickly," Klopp frowned.

As a championship-winning coach, his words carried weight.

"But I think you should reconsider. Among our young players, only Götze receives this kind of treatment!"

"Trust me, he'll be even better than Götze!"

"Are you crazy? Are you talking about Mario Götze?"

Klopp furrowed his brows, "Believe me, just like you did when you invited me to join this club!"

Watzke took a deep breath, "Fine. I just hope he doesn't let you down!"

"He won't! Remember this Chinese proverb: 'A hero is not judged by his origins!'"

It was a line from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Klopp had always remembered it.

Knock knock knock...

As they spoke, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Buvac entered with Ye Chen.

Watzke immediately turned his attention to the young man, scrutinizing him carefully. Other than his good looks, there didn't seem to be anything special about him.

"Here, sit down!" Klopp stood up and gestured for Ye Chen to take a seat.

The four of them sat at the office desk, and Klopp asked, "Do you need to contact your agent or guardian? This is a major decision in your life."

"No need, I can handle it myself!"

"Alright, then take a look at the contract," Klopp handed it to Ye Chen. "If you have any concerns, feel free to raise them."

Ye Chen examined the printed contract and was immediately shocked by the salary.

A weekly wage of €20,000!

With the current exchange rate of 1:9, that was a whopping 180,000 yuan!

This… was unbelievable!

But instead of rushing, Ye Chen continued reading carefully.

The contract was for four years, with appearance fees of €3,000, goal bonuses of €5,000, assist bonuses of €2,000, and win bonuses of €3,000…

Dortmund truly lived up to its reputation as a top club. Just from this one match, he could earn tens of thousands of euros!

However, there was also a €50 million release clause in the contract!

Wow, they really had that much confidence in him?

Of course, if a club was willing to pay such a high fee for him, it wouldn't be a bad move to leave.

After all, even Shinji Kagawa, who won the Bundesliga MVP, had only transferred to Manchester United for around €25 million.

Still, there were a few things Ye Chen wanted to negotiate in this contract!
