Chapter 107 Brilliant Comeback
? ♂,
Mark's goal equalized the score for Dortmund. There were thunderous cheers in the stands, and the Dortmund players hugged each other to celebrate the goal.
Mark was surrounded, but he still found Zhou Yi in the crowd, hugged him and said thank you to him.
"Why are you so polite, Mark? You deserve this!" Zhou Yi smiled and patted his shoulder. "You ran the ball yourself."
Mark just laughed.
After a year of serious injury, he came back from injury and immediately scored a goal. This is the best comeback performance. This performance also gave him great confidence.
After Dortmund's celebration, Mark Wagner received a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate. When the referee showed him the yellow card, there was a burst of boos in the stands - Dortmund fans were so inhumane to the referee. Very dissatisfied. They thought they would be very excited if they put themselves in Mark's shoes and scored a goal for the first time after a year of serious injury. Can't the referee be more gentle and caring at this time?
But rules are rules, and if there are rules, of course they must be enforced.
Mark himself didn't care about the yellow card. Compared with scoring a goal, the price of a yellow card was too light.
And since he is a forward, he usually doesn't have many chances to get cards. Even if he gets a yellow card, it will not affect the subsequent games.

When the game restarted, Dortmund, who had just equalized the score, was greatly boosted in morale and launched a very fierce attack on Schalke 04's goal. This attack was greater than any before.
When Schalke 04 faced Dortmund's offensive, they could only shrink back to defend. At this time, they could not consider any counterattack at all. Even if Dortmund presses higher, no matter how many spaces there are behind Dortmund, it has nothing to do with Schalke 04. They don't even dare to think about it. Now their minds are filled with one thought, that is, they must not concede the ball again. Got it!
The offensive power brought by the boosted morale of Dortmund at home makes Schalke 04 very difficult to defend. After all, it is the winner of the league championship for two consecutive seasons. Once the firepower is full, it is not a vegetarian.
This period is also an extremely happy time for Dortmund fans. Their singing and cheering echo through the sky, ready to cheer for Dortmund's second goal at any time.
But Dortmund's second goal never came.
Schalke 04 is certainly in a sorry state,
But it also prevented Dortmund's attack. They tried their best, but finally did not let Dortmund, who was in high morale, gain another victory, and retained a trace of suspense for this game.
Schalke 04 is not without a chance to take all three points from the away game, and Dortmund's situation is not as bad as before the equalizer.
After ten minutes of continuous attack, no goals were scored, and Dortmund had to take a breath. They slowed down their attack.
Seeing the change in the game situation, Schalke's commentator breathed a sigh of relief: "Dortmund attacked too hard just now, but fortunately our team withstood the test!"
After Dortmund slowed down their attack, Schalke 04 began to try more offensive counterattacks. They finally had the opportunity to take advantage of the space left behind by Dortmund's attack.
Just when everyone thought that the game would return to its previous rhythm, something unexpected happened.
※※※
In the 79th minute, Dortmund once again got a chance to attack.
After Zhou Yi got the ball in the midfield, he did not choose to pass the football out, but took the ball himself.
His choice was beyond the expectations of the Schalke 04 players and Yang Muge.
Yang Muge, who was originally guarding him, didn't expect that Zhou Yi would actually choose to dribble the ball himself after a feint. He was swayed away by Zhou Yi.
However, Yang Muge did not give up on defense, but turned around and chased after him.
At the same time, other Schalke 04 players also flocked to Zhouyi. Zhou Yi is Dortmund's most critical core player. If he is contained, Dortmund's offense as a whole can be contained. This is a truth that everyone understands. No matter how tight and intensive his defense is, it seems to be correct.
But today it was wrong.
When they all swarmed towards Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi suddenly passed the football out. He passed it behind the rushing Schalke 04 player - there was a less obvious gap there. Because Schalke 04's defense is still quite intact as a whole. If someone rushes forward, others will follow and push the defense forward to create an offside or something.
But after all, people are not machines. Once programmed, they can be followed meticulously. There will always be some deviations. For example, in this case of offside, it is impossible to follow the same steps every time without any flaws.
This time, when Schalke 04's defenders pressed forward, there was a little disunity.
Japanese defender Atsuhito Uchida reacted a little too slowly, lagging behind. And Uchida Atsuto also realized this, so he accelerated forward and wanted to stay in line with his teammates.
But just as he rushed forward, the football left Zhou Yi's feet and rolled behind Schalke 04 center back Howiders.
Mark Wagner was there to catch the ball!
As soon as Hovides turned around, he saw Mark catching the ball, so he raised his arm to signal to the referee that the ball was offside. Uchida Atsuto, who rushed up, also raised his hand, pretending as if he was not behind at all. Now he is indeed He was no longer behind, but when Zhou Yi passed the ball, he was actually at the back.
The linesman saw clearly, turned a blind eye to the Schalke 04 player's raised arm, and ran forward with Mark.
The referee of this game, Brih, was still not sure. He turned to look at the linesman and saw that the linesman had no expression, so he ignored the Schalke 04 players and rushed forward.
"Not offside! This is a beautiful counter-offside!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly - is Mark going to score twice in his first game back from injury? !
After Mark caught the ball, he moved the football towards the penalty area. Deafening cheers rang out from the stands of the West**** Stadium, and the Dortmund fans were cheering for him.
Mrs. Wagner screamed excitedly, and her hand had already left a deep mark on her husband's arm...
While everyone was very excited, Mark, who was holding the ball, was extremely calm. He didn't think about scoring twice after his comeback. He only had one thought in his mind - this was an opportunity created by Zhou Yi. We must not let it go to waste on him!
Facing the attacking Schalke 04 goalkeeper Angnestal, Mark started to kick. It was not a powerful volley, nor a low ball push. His right foot was rounded and fell, but he lightly picked up the football. , the football drew a parabola in the air, flew over Onnestal's head, and then crashed into the goal behind him!
2:1!
"Mark Wagner!! Beautiful!! Beautiful spoon! Dortmund took the lead! They finally took the lead at their home court!! It's amazing! After a year of serious injury, the first game back was like this His condition is really amazing! It seems that Mark is not only recovering well physically, but also mentally. Looking at every detail of his actions in front of the goal, it is completely unbelievable that he has a year and a month. I haven’t played any more games!”
Marcel Leif said excitedly.
Mark's injury was once considered a loss for German football, but German football is always full of geniuses. Once a genius falls, more geniuses will emerge, and fallen geniuses will soon be replaced by others. Forget.
After a year of recuperation and recovery, except for the initial attention paid to Mark's recovery, he was gradually forgotten by people, and there was very little news about him in the media. In addition, Mark himself is not a high-profile person, so he has not appeared in the media for a long time. Except for a very small number of his die-hard fans, there are really not many people who can remember him.
Moreover, the injury he suffered was so serious that some people think that even after his comeback, he will only be further and further away from the genius he was originally called. This is also normal.
But I didn't expect that Mark, who returned from injury, scored twice!
This performance simply surprised many people who were not optimistic about his future career...
Based on these two goals, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mark Wagner has returned strongly.
※※※
Mark, who scored twice, was also very excited. When he kicked the whistle in front of the goal, he was quite calm. But after scoring the goal, he suddenly couldn't control his emotions. His hands were about to reach to the hem of his jersey and he had to take off his clothes.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi had already pounced on him and hugged him quickly: "Do you want to be the first person to be sent off for celebrating by taking off his clothes twice during the game, Mark?"
At Zhou Yi's reminder, Mark then remembered that he already had a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate. He quickly put down his clothes and hugged Zhou Yi: "Thank you, Zhou Yi! I don't want to be the laughing stock!"
"How could it be, Mark? Of course you won't be the laughing stock. In fact, you have surprised countless people now!" Zhou Yi smiled and patted his shoulder.
Yes, after experiencing such a serious injury and taking such a long break, he came back again and scored two goals in the first game. Even if Mark is not the first person to do this, it is still amazing!
This comeback is really brilliant. (To be continued.)
