Chapter 139 This Is Not a Dream

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Mark didn't actually have any time to warm up. It may be more symbolic for him to warm up. But Klopp still let Bovac pull him to explain to him in detail what he will do and how to do it after he comes on the field for a while.

Mainly because he has no confidence in Mark.

Zhou Yi also lived up to expectations, leading the whole team to switch to pass-and-control football, holding back Schalke 04 who had already sounded the horn of attack.

Let Buvac calmly explain the tactics to Mark on the sidelines.

After the explanation, Buvac gestured to Klopp, and Klopp raised his hand towards the pitch again.

Then Mark walked to the fourth official, ready to play.

Then, Zhou Yi received a pass from his teammate. Instead of passing the football to the next teammate, Zhou Yi kicked the football towards the stands with a big kick.

This was obviously to provide opportunities for the team to make substitutions, but his behavior of kicking the football into the stands still aroused the dissatisfaction of the Schalke 04 fans, who once again sent a huge boo to Zhou Yi.

Especially the Schalke 04 fans in the stands that Zhou Yi kicked towards, they pointed their finger at Zhou Yi, thinking that Zhou Yi was deliberately provoking.

Even after some noise reduction treatment, Li Cuiyun, who was sitting in front of the TV, could still clearly hear how loud the boos were. She was just sitting in front of the TV, separated from the TV screen and a long distance in time and space, but she felt that the booing made her heart beat a little too fast.

Not to mention that his son is now in the middle of the deep court, surrounded by boos.

Thinking of the environment her son was in, her beating heart ached a little.

At this moment, the TV broadcast happened to give Zhou Yi a close-up shot.

Amidst the ear-piercing boos, Zhou Yi remained calm and unmoved.

※※※

The ball boy of Schalke 04 saw that Zhou Yi kicked the football out of the boundary, so he quickly threw the football to the Schalke 04 player Rakitic who ran up to ask for the ball. Opportunities for people, while maintaining the superiority in numbers, they can regain possession of the ball.

But this time. The referee Hecker did not let Schalke 04 do this.

Although Rakitic has thrown the football to Raul.

But it was still blown back by Heckel, signaling them to wait for Dortmund to complete the substitution before sending out a throw-in.

Thus, Dortmund's one-less stage is over.

The fourth official held up the substitution sign and Barrios was substituted. Mark enters.

"Mark Wagner, a young player from Dortmund's second-tier team. He was trained by Dortmund's youth training camp and serves as a striker. He has won the U19 National League Championship and the U19 Youth German Cup. He has similarities with Gotze and Zhou Yi in the youth team. The experience of playing football together..." Marcel Leif introduced Mark very formulaically. These things are all information that can be found, and there is no need to spend any effort to investigate.

Although Mark has won these championships. However, in the Dortmund U19 team, he was not the protagonist, compared with his companions Zhou Yi and Gotze. It really needs to look ordinary and not so eye-catching.

Many people don't even know who he is until now.

But there is a corner of the Dortmund fan base that is getting excited.

"It's Mark! My son!" Mrs. Wagner jumped up excitedly. Her husband, the old Wagner, who is usually very silent, also seemed very excited at this time, shouting at the court: "Mark come on!"

"Daddy" Bruno led his "Black Gold" companions and shouted Mark's name in unison.

Unfortunately. This is an away game, Dortmund's supporters are limited, and not all of them are from the Black Gold Fans Association. There are too few people to make any big waves.

So their cheers couldn't reach Mark's ears at all.

The loudest booing from the Schalke 04 fans was the referee blowing back the throw-in to express their dissatisfaction.

In such an atmosphere, Mark stepped onto the stage of his first-team debut.

He was a little dazed, feeling as if the surroundings had become unreal. His running feet seemed to be stepping on light and soft cotton, one deep and the other shallow.

Am I dreaming?

Until this moment, Mark was not very sure that he would have a chance to play when he was selected for the first time... This treatment is better than his idol Zhou Yi, who was on the bench after being selected for the first time. I sat there for ninety minutes.

※※※

When Mark was about to go out, Cortana was a little surprised.

She really didn't expect that her younger brother would actually appear in this competition!

She thought of what Zhou Yi said to her before the game, and told her categorically that Mark would definitely play.

Now even Cortana had to be suspicious—could that Chinese kid really know some mysterious oriental witchcraft?

Otherwise, how could he accurately predict that his younger brother would appear?

After a few minutes, the surprise gradually subsided, but Cortana was a little worried about her younger brother.

In such an important game, such a crucial substitution, my younger brother must have carried the expectations and eyes of countless people without doing anything on the court. Can he withstand this heavy pressure?

As his own older sister, she couldn't be more clear about his character and temper. Sometimes my younger brother seems to be very confident, but in fact that kind of confidence is watery and not solid. A slight blow may make him lose all confidence and fall from the cloud to the bottom.

Such examples have happened many times in my brother's nineteen years of life.

That's why she felt that her brother was not suitable for playing professional football.

Because professional players have to bear a lot of pressure, pressure is commonplace for them. If you don't have a strong heart, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to achieve anything in this line of work. Not to mention that my younger brother's talent is not very good.

Now seeing her younger brother stepping deep and shallow after coming on stage, Cortana lowered her head, and she couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

During the warm-up, her younger brother performed poorly, and she still thought it was nothing, but now it's a competition, a real competition, if he doesn't perform well in the competition, everyone will label Mark a "loser" Label.

This is probably a huge blow to my younger brother's self-confidence.

In fact, it stands to reason that Cortana should hope that her brother's professional football dream fails, because that is in line with her judgment of her brother all the time. But when this time really came, as an older sister, Cortana couldn't bear to really see that scene come.

Because she knew too well how much hope and sweat her younger brother had put into this moment. If it fails...it would be too cruel for him.

Cortana raised her head again, pushed off her dark glasses, and looked at the court again.

Forget it, since he has already played, then be prepared to accept a cruel fate... I hope he won't be sad for too long...

At this moment, Cortana was surprised to see that kid Zhou Yi swung his arm, and then slapped Mark's... ass hard!

※※※

Mark was still distracted, but suddenly someone slapped his butt so hard that he almost jumped up covering his butt in fright.

He recovered, turned around and saw Zhou Yi's smiling face: "Welcome to play, Mark."

When Mark heard Zhou Yi say this, his eyes couldn't match his focus: "I have already represented the first team. This is the first time I have entered the squad... I am not dreaming, Zhou Yi?"

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder hard again, "Isn't this the dream you have been fighting for?"

Mark heard the words and came back to his senses.

Yes, wearing a Dortmund jersey and representing the first team in the Bundesliga, isn't this a dream I have always had?

Yes, this is not a dream, this is the reality I strive for!

Is the light of dreams into reality!

Thinking of this, Mark's eyes that were a little confused before became clear again.

Seeing the change in Mark's eyes, Zhou Yi smiled: "Remember what you should do, Mark?"

"Of course!" Mark nodded vigorously and replied confidently.

※※※

After Dortmund completed the substitution, the game continued.

The difference in numbers between the two sides has disappeared, but Schalke 04 is still in full swing.

After all, Barrios, the top scorer of last season, is off the field, and Dortmund is replaced by a kid who has never heard of it. The threat to Neuer's goal must plummet.

Now is a good time for everyone to work together and kill Dortmund!

Schalke 04 continued to attack, hoping to score as soon as possible.

They didn't pay much attention to Mark, who just came on the field. What's there to worry about this kid who is dumbfounded at first glance?

The Schalke 04 fans in the stands also laughed when they saw Mark being replaced.

Because they all recognized it, the Dortmund striker who was replaced was the idiot No. 45 who was kicked to the head by his teammates before the game.

They laughed at Dortmund for replacing such an idiot. It seems that Schalke 04 will win this game!
