As the head coach of Schalke 04's U18 team, Daniel has been worried sick lately.
Although the U18 team is currently fourth in the 3rd Division, it's important to note that as the reserve talent pool for the first team, his team hasn't supplied a single player to the first team for two consecutive seasons!
Many at the club are already clamoring for Daniel's dismissal.
This has made Daniel a bit anxious. After all, even though he's just a youth team coach, the salary from Schalke 04 isn't low.
If he leaves here, where he would go becomes an unknown.
At this moment, he is excitedly watching Su Bai on the field.
"Jess, why hasn't this guy been discovered by Dortmund? With a kick like that, there's no way Dortmund would let him go!"
Old Jess turned to look at the excited Daniel.
"I don't know either, maybe Dortmund just has too many talents!"
Old Jess naturally didn't know that Su Bai's performance at Dortmund had always been terribly poor. His system had just activated, so naturally, Dortmund didn't know they had missed out on such an extraordinary passer.
With the second goal, the match on the field came to a close.
However, the way everyone looked at Su Bai had changed.
From initial mockery to the current seriousness.
Su Bai's performance in just twenty minutes had already earned the recognition of these Schalke talents.
"Su! Great pass!"
Whit Benedict, the Schalke forward who scored, quickly came over with a smile and extended his hand.
For a forward, a midfielder like Su Bai is a dream come true.
Seeing Whit Benedict extend his hand, Su Bai also smiled and shook it.
"Look, the boss is anxious over there, probably wants to sign you up quickly!"
After speaking, Whit Benedict didn't forget to wink at Su Bai.
Not only Whit Benedict, but even Ben Casey, who had just coordinated well with Su Bai, came over.
"Su, those two passes of yours were really beautiful!"
Facing Su Bai's passes, Ben Casey didn't hold back his praise.
On the football field, it's always about strength.
Su Bai had long known this.
Compared to being ignored at Dortmund, the guys at Schalke seemed much more agreeable. At least, even just now, he didn't feel the overbearing attitude of the Dortmund youth team.
"Hi!"
"Su!"
"Come over here!"
Old Jess, standing on the sidelines, called out to Su Bai as the match ended.
"Su, see? I told you to give Schalke a try. Interested in signing with Schalke 04?"
Old Jess said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Bai felt a sense of relief.
After all, the task in the system was still there, and if he left Tank Country in disgrace, who knows when the task would be completed.
At least Schalke 04 is considered a Bundesliga giant. Although there's a gap compared to Dortmund, it's still acceptable.
Old Jess originally thought that Su Bai would be thrilled to hear about the signing, but unexpectedly, the guy remained calm!
This is Schalke 04!
Doesn't this guy feel even a little excited?
Daniel, standing nearby, was also a bit surprised to see Su Bai so calm!
You know, for a player of Su Bai's age, there are countless in Tank Country, and many would do anything to get into Schalke 04!
"Su, do you have an agent?"
Although Daniel was a bit puzzled, he didn't think too much. He just wanted to quickly sign Su Bai.
Such a good prospect, if he leaves this door, other teams would go crazy trying to sign him.
"No, sir!"
As a rookie, Su Bai couldn't possibly have an agent.
"Alright, Hank!!! Hank!!!"
Daniel turned and called for his assistant.
Hearing the head coach call him, a young man with blonde hair ran over!
"Take him to sign the contract!"
"Okay, boss, which type?"
At this point, Daniel was a bit uncertain.
After all, Su Bai had only made two passes, and in other aspects, he was really lacking. Signing a formal professional contract seemed a bit hasty.
Moreover, he didn't have the authority to sign a formal contract.
That required the approval of the club's manager, Janis.
He could decide on an apprentice contract, but!
If he signed an apprentice contract?
Then if someone else took a liking to Su Bai, it would be easy for them to snatch him away.
By then, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"I'll call Janis!"
Seeing Daniel in a dilemma, Old Jess smiled and took out his phone.
Old Jess's words made Daniel feel relieved. He knew the relationship between Old Jess and Janis.
These two old guys started as scouts together, but Janis was more flexible, and over the years, he managed to become a manager.
Stubborn Old Jess is still a scout.
Although his salary as a scout is much higher than others, his status is still just a scout.
Soon, Old Jess dialed the number.
It didn't take a few seconds for the call to connect!
"Hello? Old man, what made you interested in calling me? Did you spend your money on those old ladies again?"
Janis's first words made many people break out in a cold sweat!
Who would have thought that despite his white hair, Old Jess still had such a taste?
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"Damn it, when did I ever like those old ladies? I have something serious. I brought a good prospect here and want to sign him. Let me tell you about it!"
"I don't bother with youth team matters. If you want to sign, go to Daniel. He handles apprentice contracts!"
"I'm right next to Daniel now. It's not an apprentice contract; I want to sign a formal player contract!"
Old Jess's words clearly surprised Hamet on the other end.
In recent years, although Old Jess has been continuously finding suitable players for Schalke, to be honest, the rise of the internet has posed a great challenge to the work of traditional scouts!
With the developed network now, talented players worldwide aren't as mysterious as they used to be.
So, the era of scouts traveling the world discovering superstars has long ended.
Even if they find one or two, at most, they just make an appearance in the youth team and then disappear.
But it's rare to directly call for a formal contract like today.
This piqued Hamet's interest!
"Who is it that made Old Jess personally intervene, and still wants a formal contract?"
"He's a very rare talent, just trust me!"
Hearing Jess's certainty, Hamet laughed.
Formal player contracts come in many forms, high and low.
Thinking about Old Jess's stubborn nature, Hamet didn't want to argue further.
"Alright, alright! Your judgment is still sharp. Let Daniel bring him to sign, I'll make the arrangements!"
Hearing Hamet agree, Old Jess was also very happy.
After hanging up, Jess winked at Su Bai!
Daniel, standing nearby, also felt relieved.
"Alright, congratulations! Young man, soon you'll be a member of Schalke 04!"
Su Bai smiled and didn't say much.
He just wanted to quickly complete the task, wondering what the task reward would be.
