Mark also felt a little unreal when he ran onto the field. But thanks to Zhou Yi's slap, it woke him up.
Now he is standing on the court, his heart is very sober.
Although Schalke 04 is playing against Dortmund during this time, it seems that I have no chance to perform. But this doesn't mean that he just made up the numbers and has no effect.
In fact, Mark has been observing and thinking since he came on the field, how to help the team.
Assistant coach Buvac said a lot to himself. In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: "We must maintain contact with the midfielder and the backcourt, we must actively run, we must be willing to sacrifice, and make room for others."
How to do it, he also said.
But Mark has his own ideas.
This feeling might not be strong off the court, but when he appeared on the court, it became more intense, as if it was about to burst out of his body, and he couldn't stop it.
It was a very familiar feeling.
He seems to know what to do when he goes on the court, and he doesn't need the assistant coach to tell him so much.
Because there are Zhou Yi and Gotze on this field now, and I have played with them. Although they did not cooperate with each other later, Zhou Yi and Gotze went to the first team, but the sense of tacit understanding has not disappeared. Instead, it settled down to the bottom of my heart.
Now, when I set foot on the court again and fight side by side with Zhou Yi and Gotze, the tacit understanding between comrades has resurfaced.
He knows how to complete the tasks assigned to him by the assistant coach, but in his own way.
※※※
Before Mark came on the field, Schalke 04's offensive has been very fierce, almost forming a siege.
Not only bombarded Dortmund's penalty area indiscriminately, but also pressed all Dortmund players with the ball in the midfield.
Zhou Yi is the top priority of their defense.
Because Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund's offense,
His choice when he has the ball determines the direction and quality of Dortmund's attack.
As long as Zhouyi can be contained, Dortmund's offense can be paralyzed in half.
And now Dortmund. There is only one core of Zhouyi. Unlike last season, it was dual-core, Zhou Yi was marked to death, and there was Shaheen.
So Zhou Yi was suppressed behind. It's hard to move on. More often he can only rely on long passes to deliver the football to the frontcourt. But the long pass is not a conventional way to organize an attack after all, and the success rate is not as high as the short pass.
Later after Barrios was injured. It made matters worse, because Dortmund's offense lacked a bridgehead in front, after the long pass went up. It's basically a one-off sale, and it's great if it works. But most of them are very difficult to succeed. The opponent's two Dortmund players surrounded the ball, and this attack came to an end.
So Zhou Yi can only pass back or cross more often, in addition to controlling the ball. In addition to trying not to give Schalke 04 the opportunity to seize one less player in Dortmund, part of it is because of helplessness-if the success rate is too low. It's nothing more than handing over the football to the opponent.
Seeing Mark preparing to play on the sidelines, Zhou Yi realized that this was a good opportunity to break the blockade of Schalke 04.
It's just that Schalke 04 doesn't seem to realize this. So they didn't put a lot of defense on Mark.
Zhou Yi hasn't communicated with Mark yet, so he doesn't know if Mark has noticed it too. But he believes in the tacit understanding between himself and Mark. Their tacit understanding is not just as simple as playing football together in the youth team. In life, they once lived under the same roof, trained together, lived together, and entertained together.
The tacit understanding cultivated in this way is better than that cultivated on the training ground.
While Schalke 04 continued to besiege Dortmund's goal, Zhou Yi turned his head and looked forward.
He found that Mark was the center, but he didn't go to the front.
Instead, it retreated.
Zhou Yi laughed. As expected, although Mark and himself haven't competed together for a long time, the tacit understanding is still there!
So when Schalke 04's attack was blocked by Hummels and passed the football to Zhou Yi, he turned around and passed the football forward to Mark without any hesitation.
Afterwards, he himself did not stop in place, but ran forward diagonally.
When Mark received the ball, there was no Schalke 04 player beside him, because no one could have imagined that Mark, as a center forward, would not be at the forefront, but retreated to the area where Shinji Kagawa should be. , Shinji Kagawa has already gone to the wing at this time, and now it looks like Mark is a midfielder!
"Mark Wagner! He got the ball! It was his first touch since he came on," said Marcel Leff.
※※※
Mark suddenly appeared in this position and received the ball, but it greatly exceeded the expectations of the Schalke 04 players. But they reacted quickly, and someone jumped on him.
"Herwedes!"
Schalke 04 defender Höwedes pounces on Mark.
Klopp on the sidelines stared nervously at Mark, and now he wished he could attach himself to Mark to help him deal with this situation—kick the football back to Zhou Yi!
Don't stick to the ball, don't don't know what to do, or you're screwed!
In everyone's eyes, Dortmund's weakness is this rookie who just played and didn't even understand the situation!
No one thought about why Mark dropped so deep to catch the ball, they just thought it was a coincidence. He just happened to run into this position.
The Schalke 04 fans could not wait to cheer, ready to witness the rookie was killed from behind by Hewedes that scene.
Once the ball is broken here, Schalke 04 can play a very threatening attack, because now is a critical moment for Dortmund to turn from defense to offense. It is impossible for Dortmund to react when the ball is lost at this time. Just like the ball that Schalke 04 conceded in the first half, Dortmund stole the ball due to lack of concentration during the transition from offense to defense.
Now, we're going to fight fire with fire!
Mark, who was under everyone's gaze, did not show the slightest confusion. After he received the ball, he turned around and passed the football out again!
He did not choose what Klopp thought was the safest way to pass the ball back to Zhou Yi. Instead, it was forwarded!
Who did he pass it on to?
"Gotze!"
Marcel Leff yelled.
The cheering Schalke 04 fans in the stands. In an instant, the cheers turned into... exclamations!
Now it's the turn of Dortmund fans on the ground and in front of the TV to cheer.
Because Gotze was not on the wing when he received the ball, but appeared in the middle, near the top of the free throw arc in the center of the penalty area!
He caught the ball in a center position!
It turned out that when everyone was focusing on Mark, Gotze suddenly cut in from the wing. He ran into the gap left after Hewedes pounced on him!
A big shift in the universe in one position!
※※※
Gotze, who received the ball at the top of the free throw arc, turned around and shot!
"Gotze—" Marcel Levra yelled in a drawn out voice.
Neuer made a save. Pounce on the football.
But the ball arced in a sharp arc in the air, well past him.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, but at the last moment it touched the goal post and flew out of the baseline!
"Oh!" Duan Xin uttered this regretful cry.
Gotze is equally sorry. He put his head in his hands and knelt on the ground. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Such a good opportunity, I didn't score it!
"Götze missed his chance to be a hero! If he could score, he would have overtaken the score! But now the two sides are still tied! Schalke 04 escaped! In the derby. Missing such an opportunity is too affecting Morale up! Maybe this ball will be the turning point of this game?"
※※※
"Ahhhhh!" in front of the coach's bench. Assistant coach Buvac uttered a cry of regret.
Although Klopp next to him didn't hug his head and yell, he was even more excited-he picked up the plastic water bottle on the ground, and then slammed it back hard.
bang. The bottle body deformed, the lid flew out, and the water inside splashed out and sprayed out.
※※※
Gotze missed the opportunity, naturally very annoyed. This can be seen from the fact that he knelt on the ground after shooting and put his head in his hands.
But when he got up from the ground, he turned around and saw Mark giving him a thumbs up: "Good job, Mario! It's only a little bit away from the goal!"
Zhou Yi ran up at some point and said to Mark: "Mark, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. How is this ball beautiful? If it is really beautiful, it will go in! Next time I will play!"
Looking at the teammates standing together, one encouraging himself and the other laughing at himself, Gotze suddenly had an illusion, as if he had returned to the U19 youth team. He and these two people in front of him are golden partners with tacit cooperation. The degree of tacit understanding will always be practiced after the team's training sessions.
In the end, the three of them together helped the team win all the championships a youth team at that level could achieve.
At that time, it seemed that no one could stop the three of them from quickly passing and cutting.
Later, he and Zhou Yi were transferred to the first team, while Mark stayed in the youth team, the trident was dismantled, and the cooperation of quick pass and cut was never played.
But just now, since Mark took the initiative to retreat, the three of them naturally had a chemical reaction, pushing them to make such a beautiful offensive cooperation.
The tacit understanding cultivated by training together at the beginning has not disappeared, but has become an instinct deep in my heart.
And this instinct, with Mark's appearance, was reactivated.
This made Gotze suddenly not so upset about the missed opportunities before, but full of confidence in the next game.
No goal this time, but as long as the three of us are together, we will definitely score!
So he fought back at Zhou Yi: "When you run up slowly, the chance is long gone, you should just pass the ball from behind!"
"Hey!" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes, "Is this the attitude that you need me to feed you cakes?"
"Hello cake?" Gotze was a little puzzled.
"I pass the ball to you and you score. Isn't it like I prepared the cake and fed it to your mouth, and you just need to open your mouth to eat the cake?" Zhou Yi shrugged.
This is said as if all the credit for the goal belongs to Zhou Yi, and even if Gotze scores the goal, he has no technical content and is not worth mentioning.
Obviously the goal scorer is the most beautiful, but now it is Zhou Yi who is the most important.
Gotze was too lazy to talk to Zhou Yi, who had no limits, and turned to put his arms around Mark's shoulder: "It was Mark who passed the ball to me just now, thank you."
Mark hurriedly intervened in the middle: "Okay, okay, everyone is great. Without any one of them, this cooperation will not be able to fight..."
