Chapter 17 Confident Smile

When Hoffman scored, the parents of the Dortmund youth team players in the stands cheered, and the loudest cheers were naturally Hoffman's parents.

The Wagner family was also happy for Zhou Yi, because Zhou Yi assisted the ball. Moreover, as senior fans, the Wagners can also see how important Zhou Yi's role in this team is.

He is the core of the team's midfield.

This was the first time they had witnessed Zhou Yi playing football with their own eyes. At this time, they remembered what their son Mark told them at the dinner table after returning home, and they realized that Mark was not talking nonsense...

Cortana wasn't as excited as her parents were, and when they all jumped up and cheered, Cortana just clapped their hands, which counted as applause.

She didn't care about how Zhou Yi played. She came here to support her younger brother, and it wasn't her younger brother's goal, so what's there to be happy about?

※※※

Dortmund didn't celebrate for a long time. Everyone gathered around and congratulated Hoffman for the goal and Zhou Yi for the assist, and that was it.

After all, it is a warm-up match, and the opponent is not strong, so there is no need to celebrate ecstatically after scoring a goal.

On the way back to his own half, Zhou Yi reorganized the whole offensive process in his mind.

This goal proves that the experience he has accumulated in the world is effective.

In the eight matches against the Düsseldorf youth team, Zhou Yi discovered that there will always be some problems between the left center back and the left back in this team.

Compared with their right backs, their left backs have a good assist ability, so when attacking, the coach of the Dusseldorf youth team must have consciously asked their left backs to attack. In this way, there are hidden dangers on the left side, and their left center back is not strong enough to fill the position. This makes their left side become relatively empty once the left back gets an assist.

These things can't be seen just by looking at the player's data. You still have to play against them and analyze them through their game performance.

Every time the game is over in the virtual system, it doesn't end here. Zhou Yi also needs to analyze the game with Chu Ling, how is his performance, and how is the opponent's performance.

With the advantage of having a system assistant, if you are not very sure about the situation at the time, you can also ask Chu Ling to directly review the game at that time and turn it into a game video for him to watch.

Moreover, there are no dead angles in the video, he can observe from any angle he wants, as if there are cameras all around the players.

These post-match analyzes can also help Zhou Yi improve his ability to read the game.

He can be sure that in this game, the biggest weakness of the Düsseldorf youth team is the rib between their left center back and left back.

So Zhou Yi said to Mark who was by his side: "Mark, next time you can try to move between their left center back and left back and look for opportunities. I think it will be better than staying between the two center backs now." more opportunities.”

Mark was not surprised why Zhou Yi said that, but nodded: "OK."

After getting along with Zhou Yi day and night for more than a month, and after more than half a month of special training in the game, he has already understood that Zhou Yi's ability to read and analyze games is superb.

Besides, he himself has actually seen some signs, because Hoffman's goal was scored here.

※※※

When the game restarted, Mark really switched to the area between the opponent's left center back and left back.

And Zhou Yi also consciously passed more balls in this direction.

After he organized activities here many times, without him yelling, the players of the Dortmund youth team naturally regarded this side as their breakthrough point, full-backs, full-backs and forwards... everyone took turns attacking this side .

The Düsseldorf youth team was in a hurry and was very embarrassed to deal with it.

In the eleventh minute, Zhou Yi launched an attack here. He was supposed to cut inside, but suddenly passed the football out.

Mark moved flexibly, received Zhou Yi's pass without offside, turned around and broke into the penalty area, and then shot. The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.

2:0!

After scoring the goal, Mark froze for a moment, then ran towards Zhou Yi excitedly.

"Quick! Pinch me!" he said to Zhou Yi. "Let me see this is not a dream!"

Zhou Yi grabbed Mark's cheek with both hands and said to him, "Idiot! Of course this is not a dream!"

"Ahaha!" Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Mark hugged Zhou Yi happily. He was so hard that Zhou Yi was almost out of breath by him.

"If you don't let go... no one will assist you, Mark! You still have two balls!" Zhou Yi had to remind Mark.

Only then did Mark let him go, but there was still an uncontrollable smile on his face, and he didn't know how to put his hands, so he just danced with his hands.

In the stands, Mark's parents and his older sister jumped from their seats to cheer for their son and younger brother as Mark scored.

"Mark scored! He scored in the first game! This is a good sign!" Mrs. Wagner shouted excitedly.

Old Wagner was also very excited. He blushed, clapped his hands vigorously, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Good! Good! Great!"

Cortana was calmer than her parents, and after jumping up and raising her arms and shouting, she clapped instead.

After all, she still doesn't want her younger brother to really take the path of professional football.

But the younger brother scored a goal, which is always something to be happy about, and it would be too much to justify her indifference.

So despite some conflicts in her heart, Cortana applauded her brother.

But then she found that the entanglement in her heart was getting deeper and deeper.

Because her brother... scored again ten minutes later, scoring twice!

And Zhou Yi was the one who assisted his younger brother!

The score was 3:0, and Zhou Yi also completed a hat-trick of assists.

Cortana still applauded her brother, but she felt something was wrong...

Her younger brother has always been a substitute since he was able to play the main force in the team when he was a child. This is also an important reason why she persuaded herself to give up her dream of professional football-your talent is actually not suitable for playing professional football, your tone of voice is a waste of youth and time, it is better to plan early.

But now, his younger brother started the game and scored twice!

Even if she is not a hardcore fan, but in a country with such a rich football culture, how could she not understand football?

She is very clear about what it means to score twice.

※※※

Fortunately, my younger brother was not able to continue to score goals.

After taking the lead again and again, Zhou Yi was full of speed and rhythm. As the speed of this core operation slowed down, Dortmund's rhythm also slowed down. But this does not mean that the Düsseldorf youth team has a chance to take advantage of it-at the beginning, they did give themselves a chance to take advantage of it, but seeing Zhou Yi, who had slowed down, suddenly speed up, Dortmund counterattacked, After almost scoring a goal, the Düsseldorf youth team became much more honest.

Seeing Zhou Yi deliberately slowing down the pace, head coach Eckel nodded.

This is a smart way to keep a high tempo for a long time, although the game will look good, it will consume a lot of energy, and it will be difficult to recover later, and in the case of a three-goal lead, no matter what There is no reason to continue to maintain a fast pace.

Zhou Yi's approach shows that he already has experience in formal competitions. He knows how to control the rhythm of the team and how to save energy.

The Dortmund youth team ended the first half with a three-goal lead.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, he came up and back and forth again, first firmly controlling the ball at his feet, and then slowly looking for opportunities.

Under the continuous downfall, it is easy to create some gaps.

In the 50th minute, Dortmund scored another goal, 4:0!

This goal... was assisted by Zhou Yi!

Four assists, instigated all the team's goals, in addition to creating seven shot opportunities, but teammates did not seize. Under his command, the Dortmund youth team is only running in an orderly manner. Although there is also a reason for the poor strength of the Dusseldorf youth team, the importance of Zhou Yi to the Dortmund youth team is self-evident.

Seeing Zhou Yi's performance, a thought suddenly appeared in Eckel's mind—maybe, this Chinese boy will not stay under his command for too long...

Just three minutes after Borussia Dortmund's youth team scored their fourth goal.

Zhou Yi once again sent a beautiful direct pass in front of the penalty area. At the same time as he passed the ball, Mark also ran into the space, turned around to catch the ball and cut inside in one go, and then kicked and shot!

For the fifth time the football flew into the goal of the Düsseldorf youth team!

"I did it! Zhou Yi! I did it!!" After scoring the goal, Mark ran towards Zhou Yi and hugged him. "Thank you!"

"Don't thank me, you scored the goal yourself!" Zhou Yi patted him hard on the back, also happy for Mark.

※※※

"Hat-trick!!" Mrs. Wagner raised her arms and hugged her husband. "Mark he scored a hat trick!! Awesome!!"

And Cortana stood there blankly, neither cheering nor clapping.

hat trick?

Her ten-thousand-year substitute brother actually completed a hat-trick after starting? !

What's happening here?

Seeing the ecstatic expression on her brother's face after scoring a goal, Cortana could feel her brother's joy even tens of meters away.

She seemed to be able to see something churning deep in her brother's heart, permeating through every pore in his body, forming a soft halo around his body.

Look at the smile on his younger brother's face when he embraced Zhou Yi...

The smile hit Cortana and made her stupefied—how long had it been since she had seen her brother smile so confidently?
