Chapter 26 Go to U19!

Zhou Yi and Mark became the objects of the Dortmund players.

Only then did Hansel understand why Zhou Yi asked him to pass the ball vigorously, because he didn't want to catch the ball at all!

He'd set out to leak the football to Mark from the start.

But what makes Hansel weird is that...

"How do you know that Mark will definitely run into the space behind you?" When running back after celebrating the goal, Hansel approached Zhou Yi and asked the question in his heart.

"Because Mark believes that I will definitely send the ball into the space." Zhou Yi replied. "Whatever the method."

Facing Zhou Yi's answer, Hansel didn't know what to say for a while.

He turned to look at Mark.

When Mark kept scoring goals, everyone would discuss why he suddenly performed well and scored goals in private behind his back.

Because many of Mark's goals were basically assisted by Zhou Yi, some people have speculated whether this is because Mark and Zhou Yi have a good relationship.

Zhou Yi is now living in Mark's house. The two come to training together and return home together, almost inseparable. People who don't know think they are stirring up the foundation.

At that time, some people felt that Mark had played a good game when he offered to let Zhou Yi live in his house.

But after watching the two goals in this game, I am afraid no one will hold the previous views, right?

Zhou Yi did assist Mark a lot, but there were many balls that only Mark could catch!

How many of those sour Marks who scored goals by wooing Zhou Yi can trust Zhou Yi unconditionally to the point of Mark?

Before Zhou Yi leaked the football to Mark, Mark ran many times for nothing and wasted a lot of energy.

Most people probably stop doing it after two or three trips, right?

But Mark will, always will.

People can score so many goals, what is there to be jealous of?

After Mark took the lead again for Dortmund,

Dortmund's morale was boosted and they regained the initiative on the court.

Schalke 04 was obviously hit hard, especially Petrarch who was in charge of marking Zhou Yi.

After Mark scored a goal, he didn't seem to know how to defend Zhou Yi. His movements in the game became more and more rough, and Zhou Yi was violated by him again and again.

This drew boos and shouts of dissatisfaction with him from the Dortmund fans in the stands.

Fortunately, extreme fans rarely come to youth team games, otherwise the scolding will only become more fierce.

And Dortmund's bench and coaches were also dissatisfied with Petrak's foul.

Players on both sides almost clashed.

In the end, Petrarch who received a yellow card was replaced, and Zhou Yi was also replaced by Ecker for the purpose of protection.

But although Petrarch was replaced, it was not Yang Muge who was replaced.

In fact, Yang Muge never got the chance to play.

Neither side scored a goal afterwards, and the Dortmund U17 youth team defeated the Schalke 04U17 youth team 2:1 in this 17-year-old Ruhr Derby.

With this victory, Dortmund U17 rose from fifth to third in the U17 West League.

But in fact, this has nothing to do with Zhou Yi and Mark.

At the end of the game, Zhou Yi originally planned to go to find Yang Muge, but Yang Muge waved at him: "The coach is not happy after losing the game, I definitely can't stay in Dortmund alone, I have to go back with the team. Let's meet again next time, Zhou Yi."

Zhou Yi was a little regretful: "I couldn't let you play..."

"It's okay." Yang Muge smiled, not caring whether he appeared or not. "It's still a long time, I still have a chance."

"Well, next time, next time we meet again, you must be on the court!"

"Don't worry, I will."

The two bid farewell, and Zhou Yi watched Yang Muge leave the Brakel training base with the lost Schalke 04 players.

As for himself, he and Mark were called to the sidelines in front of Lars Rickon, the director of youth training at the same time.

"I don't think I need to introduce this one, do I?" Eckel said angrily. He really couldn't get angry when the other party wanted to come and win her love...

"Rickon!" Mark looked very excited, but he was not excited because of Rickon's current status, but because in his mind, Rickon was the superhero in the eyes of his Dortmund kid.

It was Rickon's calm shot after coming off the bench in the Champions League final that helped Dortmund win the only Champions League trophy in history. Although Rickon's later career was unsatisfactory, a Champions League trophy is enough for him to be regarded as a hero and idol for a lifetime by the children of this city.

"Okay, put away your fan face." Eckel couldn't see Mark being so unpromising, "Now is not the time to sign an autograph."

Mark also realized that he was too excited just now, so he smiled embarrassedly.

Rickon waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, Sasha. If he wants my autograph, I can give him ten copies."

Then he smiled and said to the two children: "Boys, congratulations on your wonderful performance in the Rue Derby. I am here to tell you that starting tomorrow, you will no longer have to train with U17, but will change to U19 .”

Both of them were taken aback when they heard the news, but Mark's reaction was more exaggerated than Zhou Yi's.

Turning his head around, Zhou Yi saw Mark's stunned expression, and quickly pinched his arm. The painful Mark gasped: "What are you doing!"

"Now you know it's not a dream." Zhou Yi said.

"Thank you!" Mark rolled his eyes.

"You're welcome, Mark. Friends should help each other." Zhou Yi said solemnly.

"Do you need me to verify it for you?" Mark reached out to pinch Zhou Yi's waist, but Zhou Yi nimbly dodged it.

"No! I'm not worried at all that this is a dream!"

Rickon watched with great interest as the two darlings put the matter of going to U19 behind them and began to fight.

The U17 head coach Ecker, who was still standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer, and coughed hard: "Mr. Supervisor is watching you!"

Only then did the two stop their hands, and once again stood honestly in front of Rickon.

Seeing this, Rickon spread his hands: "I have nothing to say, and I look forward to seeing you at the U19. But now, go and enjoy the victory!"

He points to the Dortmund U17s celebrating behind them.

Zhou Yi and Mark looked at each other, said goodbye to Rickon and Eckel, turned and ran back to the team.

"Hey, Mark, if U19 makes you so excited, what will you do when you go to the first team?" Zhou Yi bumped Mark with his arm.

"You don't care! I'm still excited!" Mark bumped back.

Watching them bumping back and forth, Rickon laughed.

He can understand why the first team coach Klopp attaches so much importance to young players.

Because there's endless energy and...possibility in them.

Only such young people can reinvigorate the already terminally ill "Bumblebee" and create more possibilities in the Bundesliga.

After the game, the players were picked up by their parents and family members, and they were going to celebrate the Ruhr Derby with their family and friends.

In the parking lot, Zhou Yi and Mark also met the latter's parents and sister.

"We're going to have a good time!" declared Mrs. Wagner excitedly.

But Mark has new news for them.

"Well, Zhou Yi and I were promoted to U19..."

The smile on Mom's face froze, she didn't seem to expect it at all.

Next, tears welled up in her eyes, she hugged her son directly, and murmured, "God...Mark, you did it, you did it..."

Mark's father, Old Wagner, came up and patted his wife on the shoulder. Mrs. Wagner let go of her son, and his father came up to hug him instead: "Congratulations, son."

Cortana was also a little surprised beside her.

She didn't expect that her younger brother's ass on the U17 bench was almost callused, but he was promoted from U17 to U19 with only two goals in one official game!

Isn't this upgrade too fast?

When old Wagner let go of Mark, Mark stood in front of Cortana.

"Sister, I know you never wanted me to become a professional player. But now, I will prove it to you step by step, and I hope to get your congratulations one day!" Mark said solemnly.

Cortana smiled. "I'll congratulate you now too, Mark."

"No, what I want is your sincere congratulations, sister. I love you very much, but in football, I have my own persistence."

"Then you have to think clearly, Mark. At the age of seventeen, you will face competitors older than you. It is not that easy to become a professional player." Cortana said.

"I know." Mark nodded and said seriously: "Zhou Yi has already told me about this. He said that pursuing dreams is the easiest thing to do. If I really want to realize my dreams, Then really give it your all! I will give it my all! Just like I went from U17 to U19, I will go from U19 to the first team!"

Hearing that these words came from Zhou Yi, Cortana looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.

"Uh, my mother used this to motivate me..." Zhou Yi scratched his head, not daring to take credit from his mother.

"Anyway, Zhou Yi. I must thank you." Mrs. Wagner turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Mark can behave like this because of you. It is you who restored his confidence..."

Zhou Yi quickly waved his hand: "Don't say that, Mrs. Wagner, you take care of my life in every possible way, I should thank you! Besides...Mark and I are good friends, good friends should help each other!"

"Anyway... I'm so glad that Mark can meet such a good friend as you. Today, we must have a good celebration!" Mrs. Wagner said happily.

※※※

This evening, the Wagner family and Zhou Yi enjoyed a big meal in the restaurant together and enjoyed it a lot. As a celebration of their successful promotion to U19.

At the same time, it also means that when they are promoted to U19, such wonderful days may be far away from them.

As Mark himself recognized.

If you want to use U19 as a springboard and get promoted to the first team, you must go all out.

And going all out is very hard work.
