Chapter 42

No matter how reluctant Schneider was, he had to accept the fate of being substituted.

It's just that he didn't give Mark a high-five, but walked off the court directly from Mark.

Of course, Mark didn't bother to give Schneider a high-five. When Schneider's feet just stepped off the court, he couldn't wait to rush onto the court.

When he ran to the field, he saw Zhou Yi raised his hand and waited for him, so he ran over to complete the high five with Zhou Yi.

"What's the mission?" Zhou Yi asked Mark while clapping hands.

"The coach asked me to be behind Kinchek. If I have a chance, I will go forward and shoot, and if I don't have a chance, I will help out." Mark said briefly, and Zhou Yi nodded to show that he understood.

"Okay, then you go. You know how to kick, don't you?"

He didn't tell Mark that this was an opportunity to completely put Schneider on the bench, because now is not the time to think about it, and winning this derby is the most important thing. Compared with the victory of the game, personal grievances are nothing.

If it wasn't for Schneider who is really a king of wasting opportunities, Zhou Yi would still be happy to pass the ball to Schneider.

It's not like he hasn't done this in previous games.

But unfortunately, Schneider never seems to appreciate it...

Mark nodded and ran to his place.

※※※

Mark's appearance did not attract the attention of Schalke 04, but after Schneider left the field, many viewers felt that the victory of the game was even more assured.

After all, Schneider is a well-known striker in U17 and U19. His end will undoubtedly reduce the quality of Dortmund's offense.

If Goetze and Kinchek are stared down, even if Zhou Yi can pass the ball, he will not be able to find the target of the pass!

Dortmund's attack will be no threat at all.

On the contrary, Mark's mother was very excited, and kept waving to Mark from the stands: "Mark Mark!! Come on! Come on!! Mark!!"

※※※

Mark hasn't played side by side with Zhou Yi in a game for a long time.

Whether it is a game within the team or some warm-up matches, there has never been one.

But when he stood on the court again and saw Zhou Yi, he didn't feel any strangeness at all.

He is very familiar with Zhou Yi's passing style and how Zhou Yi will play, so he also knows how to move. And he also firmly believes that Zhou Yi must be very familiar with his own way of playing football and knows how to pass.

Some people describe a tacit understanding and say that a look is enough, but Mark thinks that he and Zhou Yi don't even need a look.

Just run.

Mark soon found out that Schalke 04 lacked attention to himself, and his defense was mere formality.

This is your chance.

Next, we'll see if Zhou Yi can see it.

In fact, Zhou Yi also noticed Schalke 04's defensive attitude towards Mark.

This was exactly what he wanted to see.

Soon, the opportunity will come.

And this time the opportunity is too good - Schalke 04's defensive players are all focused on Goetze and Kinchek, even Zhou Yi is also facing defensive pressure, only Mark is in an open space , but no one to guard against!

They really didn't pay attention to Mark who just played...

Such an obvious vacancy, if I don't take advantage of it, I will be too sorry for Schalke 04.

Just at this time, Goce, who was facing the opponent's strict defense, was unable to break through, so he transferred the football and passed it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi didn't wait to catch the ball on the spot, but headed towards the football.

After Goetze passed the ball, he changed to cut inward, as if he was going to hit the wall with Zhou Yi. His move attracted the attention of Le Schalke's 04 defense.

Zhou Yi didn't look at Gotze's running position, but turned his eyes to the other side, and set his sights on Mark.

He noticed that Mark retracted to the recovery, hiding himself better, and the gap was still there.

So good at spotting gaps and making use of gaps... It's really the Mark I'm familiar with.

Although his playing style has changed and he has practiced physical confrontation hard for more than a month, his keen grasp of space and record is still there. That's his instinct!

After seeing Mark's situation clearly, Zhou Yi's gaze returned to football.

At this time, the football immediately rolled to his feet.

Zhou Yi didn't choose to stop the ball, but kicked the football to his left front with his right foot!

A ground ball on the turf, the football rolled past the feet of a Schalke 04 defender.

In fact, he was very close to him, but because he was running towards Goetze, facing the football that passed him by, he was powerless due to inertia, and could only watch the football roll towards him diagonally behind... free!

At the moment when Zhou Yi passed the ball, Mark who was hiding behind suddenly exerted his strength and rushed out!

This more than a month of strength training has brought an unexpected benefit to Mark, which is to increase his explosive power and make him start faster than before.

Maybe it's only one tenth of a second faster, but just this one tenth of a second can make him react faster than others and reach the designated position!

※※※

In fact, before Zhou Yi passed the ball, everyone thought that he would pass the football to Gotze. After all, in the previous games, he and Gotze cooperated the most. Less balls.

He and Gotze are the golden partners of Dortmund U19.

So everyone's eyes are on Gotze.

But when Gotze entered the penalty area, the football did not fly over.

Everyone watched Zhou Yi pass the football to the other side...

Who's on the other side?

They turned their eyes and found a man wearing Dortmund's No. 25 jersey in an unmarked space!

"It's Mark!" exclaimed Mrs. Wagner excitedly.

No one thought that Mark received the ball in that position, and there was no Schalke 04 defensive player around him. Now he faces the Schalke 04 goalkeeper directly, and he has plenty of time to adjust his shot!

But Mark didn't adjust for too long. After he stopped the football with his left foot, he shot with his right foot!

The football sprinted forward against the turf.

Although Schalke 04's goalkeeper Arthur quickly fell to the ground to save, it was still a step too late.

For the goalkeeper, the down-to-the-ground save is the most time-consuming.

Mark was very smart not to choose to volley the upper corner vigorously, which increased the difficulty of Arthur's save.

Arthur misses the football, it rolls past his hand and into the goal!

The ball went in!

The ball went in! ! !

It wasn't until the football rolled into the goal that Mark reacted-I scored?

The first shot after entering the field actually resulted in a goal? !

At this time, he wanted to find Zhou Yi who was assisting him, but just as he turned around, he saw Zhou Yi rushing towards him.

"Beautiful, Mark!! You are the nemesis of Schalke 04! Haha!"

In the last match against Schalke 04 U17, Mark scored twice and helped Dortmund U17 defeat their rivals in the Ruhr area. It is not bad for Zhou Yi to say that...

Goetze ran into the goal while Zhou Yi and Mark were hugging, grabbed the football, and then ran over and patted Mark on the shoulder: "Good job, Mark! Now we are only one goal away from them! Come on, let's go!"

He hasn't forgotten his goal - to win this Ruhr Derby, even if it's away!

Mark also understands what is the most important thing now. He did not wantonly celebrate the goal, but ran to the middle circle with Gotze.

The other teammates just patted him on the shoulder and touched his head, but didn't intend to hug him.

Everyone is very clear that time is running out now, and if you can buy a little more time, you will have more hope of winning.

※※※

When Mark scored a goal, Mark's parents jumped out of their seats, and his mother, Mrs. Wagner, was especially excited.

"Mark! My son! Well done! You are my pride!!!"

She couldn't care less about being exposed in front of a huge crowd of Schalke fans, all she wants to do now is cheer for her son.

Is there a better U19 debut than scoring a goal not long after playing? !

No!

It was already the best U19 debut Mrs Wagner could have imagined.

Cortana also stood up from her seat and applauded her brother.

In her opinion, scoring goals is a good thing.

※※※

When Mark scored, Yebara jumped from his seat and hugged the assistant coach next to him.

Now they are only one goal away!

At this time, Yebara didn't think about whether such a Mark enjoyed Zhou Yi's nanny assists again.

In the derby, he can't think so much, winning is more important than anything else.

The Dortmund U19 players on the bench all jumped up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted, happy for Dortmund to get back a goal.

Only Schneider sat on the bench, watching all this in amazement.

I didn't score a goal after working so hard on the field, and that kid scored a goal when he came on the field?

Would God be so kind to him!

※※※

Dortmund's goal made the Schalke 04 fans very depressed.

Neuer was silent.

He can't complain about anyone for this ball. The goalkeeper Arthur is fine, and the defender who chases back is fine.

It wasn't an obvious opening, but the other party caught it.

It's not that I didn't perform well on my side, but that the other party performed too well...

Draxler lowered his voice and exclaimed beside Yang Muge: "That No. 25... is that the guy who scored two goals in the game against us?"

Yang Muge nodded: "That's him."

"Damn it, Dortmund replaced him... Now we're in trouble..." Draxler was naturally very impressed with Mark, especially the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yi, which left Draxler deeply imprinted. The conceded goal just now is a replica of that game, almost exactly the same!

Zhou Yi sent the football to the space, and the 25th quickly found the space, and with almost no one marking him, he scored the football...

In the Ruhr Derby between the U17s, Schalke 04 lost to these two people.

According to Draxler, who didn't know what happened after Mark was promoted to Dortmund U19, Mark is the secret weapon of Dortmund U19. Now Dortmund has sent him up. He and Zhou Yi only need to reproduce that game The tacit cooperation is enough for the Schalke 04U19 defense line to drink a pot!

Obviously, Schalke 04U19, neither the head coach nor the players, knows this.

Draxler frowned on the sidelines, bit his lower lip, and worried about his team's fate.
