Chapter 41 Opportunity

Gotze's goal helped Dortmund U19s get back a goal, which is very important for Dortmund. $f. $f

Because if they end up two goals behind in the first half, then the pressure will be high in the second half.

Being able to pull back a goal in the first half is a great boost to the morale of the team. At the same time, it also narrowed the point difference to the point of one goal, so Dortmund still has great hope in the second half.

After Goetze's goal, Dortmund's morale really rose, and they launched a fierce offensive towards Schalke 04's goal.

But until the end of the first half, Dortmund failed to score again. That's how the first half ended.

During the intermission, Yang Muge's teammates were also discussing the first half that just ended.

Because Dortmund scored a goal in the end, everyone was a little dissatisfied.

But thinking that this is their home court and they are one goal ahead, they are still confident that they can beat Dortmund at home.

The last time u17 challenged Dortmund u17 in an away game, they failed to win and returned home. Now they are pinning their hopes on u19, who are older than them.

In the locker room, coach Yebala criticized the performance of several players in the first half, including striker Schneider.

But it doesn't mean that he is not active enough, he is very active and hardworking, but if he is too active and hardworking, he will appear impatient.

Many times, he chose to shoot directly after he got the ball, but he didn't create any threat. In fact, he can be stable and hand over the football to Zhou Yi or Gotze to organize the offense.

He wanted to show off his personal abilities to the fullest, but in fact it backfired.

Schneider, who was criticized by the head coach, kept his head down and said nothing. What else could he say?

It is correct not to speak at this time.

But he, Schneider, is holding back his energy. He must score in the game against Schalke 04 to prove the head coach is wrong.

At the same time, he also wants to use his outstanding performance to leave the u19s as soon as possible and go to the first team.

Any player who comes to U19,

In fact, they have all reached the age at which they can sign professional contracts. In German football, it is stipulated that players can sign professional contracts when they reach the age of eighteen. Schneider has now signed a professional contract. But he still has to play in the U19s and cannot go to the first team.

If he can perform well in the U19s, there is hope that he will be transferred to the first team.

Now the head coach of Dortmund's first team is Jurgen Klopp, who is famous for making good use of young players, so every Dortmund youth team player has a vision of going to the first team in his heart.

Zhouyi has. Gotze has it, even Mark has it, so it's normal for Schneider to have it.

After the start of the second half, Schalke 04 recovered from the conceded goal in the final stage of the first half after some midfield challenges.

After all, this is their home field. They have a natural mental advantage over Dortmund's U19 boys.

Under their fierce attack, Dortmund's defense made a mistake, so Schalke 04 seized the opportunity to score another goal.

When they scored the goal, whether it was the fan phalanx formed by the parents of the players or the audience scattered in various areas around the stadium, there were huge cheers.

Neuer is particularly conspicuous in it, his tall figure coupled with his exaggerated celebrations will always make people look sideways.

Yang Muge couldn't help being attracted by him, he didn't have time to care about whether this conceded goal would hit his friend Zhou Yi.

In fact, Zhou Yi didn't suffer much.

In an away game in the Ruhr Derby, it is normal to concede a goal. It is not unthinkable to let the opponent lead by two goals.

After losing the ball, everyone else was holding their heads in annoyance, but Zhou Yi was thinking about how to counterattack.

In Zhouyi's view, Schneider's point is completely abolished.

When the football reaches his feet, it is basically the end of the offense. He will 100% give Schalke 04 possession with one shot. Zhou Yi really wanted to ask the other party if he was an undercover agent sent by Schalke 04 to hide in Dortmund for more than ten years.

After Schneider was abolished, the only useful person on the forward line was Daniel Kinchek.

However, as a center forward, Kinchek needs to be in front. His more role is not to score goals, but to be the fulcrum of the offense and serve as the ball for Gotze.

But after Gotze scored a goal, he was closely marked by the opponent. Whether it is to pass the football directly to Goetze by himself, or to pass the football to Goetze excessively through Kinchek, the effect is not good.

At this time Zhou Yi suddenly thought of his good friend Mark.

If Mark can play, it will definitely be an unexpected attack point for Schalke 04. but……

He glanced at Yebala. I don't know if the head coach has any objections to Mark. Mark has been in U19 for so long, and he hasn't played a minute in an official game.

In such an important Ruhr Derby, it is estimated that he will not let Mark play.

Yebara, who was off the court, also saw that Schneider's performance in the second half hadn't changed much, and his criticism of him during the halftime break was for nothing.

Now Schalke 04 just scored a goal, and the morale is booming. If something is not done, I'm afraid the situation will get worse.

But what does it take to make a change?

It is easy to change this idea, but the actual operation is another matter.

Yebara stared at Schneider, and suddenly a person came to mind.

He turned his head to look at Mark Wagner who was sitting on the bench.

That day I was still wondering whether to give this guy who has been working hard lately a chance.

So is now an opportunity?

I was worried that in such an important game as the Ruhr Derby, it would bring pressure to him and at the same time affect the team's performance.

But now it seems that there is another explanation for the fact that the team's performance is affected. What if his impact on the team's performance is positive?

Anyway, the team is now two goals behind, so the team's performance is nothing to worry about.

As for whether the player himself can bear the pressure... that's not what Yebara cares about. If he can't even bear the pressure, then don't even think about making any progress in football.

Thinking of this, Yebara got up and walked towards Mark Wagner who was staring intently at the court.

"Hey, Mark," he called.

Mark turned his head and looked at the head coach suspiciously.

"Go warm up." Yebara bowed her head.

Mark froze for a moment before reacting. He hurriedly got up and ran to the warm-up area, because of an accident, or maybe because of excitement, he staggered a bit when he ran. Almost fell.

Seeing Mark's appearance behind him, Yebara shook her head. Can she really trust this young man?

Mark was excited for a reason, because he thought of a great possibility, that is, he is very likely to be replaced!

Although he has been called to warm up during the game, he has experienced many times in this team, but there was never a time when the head coach came to ask him to warm up. And he was only asked to warm up alone.

In the past, it was the assistant coach who called a group of players to warm up.

As a person who has played football for more than ten years, if you still don’t know what this means, then the first ten years of football will be for nothing.

Is he really going to play in the Ruhr Derby?

The thought of this made Mark very excited.

"Look! It's Mark!" Mrs. Wagner pointed to Mark who was running to warm up in the stands, and said excitedly to her husband and daughter.

As I said before, because Dortmund fans and Schalke 04 fans hate their opponents, most of them will not choose to go to the opponent's stadium to watch the game.

But this is not absolute, most people, but not everyone.

Otherwise, in the Ruhr Derby in the Bundesliga, you will not see the opponent's fans at all.

But actually there are.

Mrs Wagner and her husband. And Cortana, one of the very few.

They may not go to other away games, but the Ruhr Derby, even if it is an away game, they must come.

Even if their son hasn't had a chance to play in U19, they don't know if his son will play in this game.

But as long as their son enters the squad for the competition, they will always have such a longing in their hearts, longing for their son to play in the competition.

Unexpectedly, now I really have the opportunity to play!

Cortana nearly fell as she watched her brother get up and run to the warm-up area. I couldn't help but rolled my eyes: "Idiot... How can I get out if I hurt my muscles?"

"No crow's mouth, Cortana!"

"Okay, Mom. Do it, Mom." Facing the serious mom. Cortana stuck out her tongue.

During Mark's warm-up time, Schalke 04 launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal with the momentum they had just scored.

During this period of time, Zhou Yi could only recover and defend. But defense is really not what he is good at. In many cases, he just gets stuck in the opponent's passing route, forcing the opponent to no longer pass the football to the target he originally wanted to pass the ball to, which is considered a success. If the opponent directly breaks through. Then he really has nothing to do.

In five minutes, Schalke 04 completed four shots, which shows how critical Dortmund is in front of the goal during this period.

Fortunately, Dortmund's u19 defense withstood the pressure at this time and did not concede a goal.

When central defender Lasse Sobiech kicked the football out of the sideline with a big kick, the fourth official stood on the sidelines and held up a sign signaling a substitution.

Dortmund U19 substitution, No. 18 off, No. 25 on.

Eighteen is Schneider's number.

The number behind Mark Wagner, who was standing on the sidelines waiting to appear, was twenty-five.

Zhou Yi turned his head and saw that he was about to change players on the sidelines, and then saw his friend Mark standing on the sidelines. He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and winked at Mark from a long distance away.

Schneider was surprised to see that he was going to be replaced, and by Mark.

Then he got angry and it's only been 60 minutes, how can I be replaced? ! And he was replaced by that idiot!

He couldn't accept this decision, pointing at himself and repeatedly asked the head coach off the court: "Me? Replace me?"

Yebala hooked him: "Yes, it's you, Schneider!"

Schneider was still reluctant to go down, and Zhou Yi pouted behind his back.

At this time Gotze spoke, and he said to Schneider: "Schneider, hurry up, we are two goals behind now, don't waste time!"

Schneider looked back and saw Gotze urging him to leave the game in a serious manner. He was very hurt. He dared to be upset with Mark and Zhou Yi, but he dared not be upset with Gotze. Gotze is now the most popular talent in the Dortmund club. Offending him is not a good thing .

Seeing Schneider standing still, Gotze simply ran up and pushed Schneider to the sideline.

Pushing and saying: "Come on, Schneider, do you want to make us lose!"

He didn't want to lose to Schalke 04 just like this. With half an hour left, two goals behind, and Schneider was delayed for a while, there was not much time left for Dortmund and himself!

Even if Schneider was reluctant, he could only go down at this time, and he had to explain to Gotze: "No, I didn't want...I just...don't push, I can walk by myself..."

Zhou Yi, who saw this scene behind him, held back his laughter until he was almost hurt.

He now feels that Getze's character of not caring what others think at all, saying what he wants to say, doing what he wants... really good! (To be continued.)
