Champion’s Heart

The next day, sitting in the car driven by his father, Mark excitedly looked forward to a happy life in U19.

I haven't talked to the u19s yet. Although our training ground is next to each other, it's like a river... Anyone who can go there has a high chance of becoming a professional player... Hey, Zhou Yi, what do you say Will we sign a professional contract when we go to the U19s?

Then without waiting for Zhou Yi to answer, Mark quickly went on to say: I am still on a youth contract...Zhou Yi, do you know that in Germany, you can sign a professional contract when you reach the age of 18, and I am almost 18 Years old……

It was only then that Zhou Yi remembered that he was almost eighteen years old...but it was definitely impossible for him to sign a professional contract when he was eighteen.

For this, he has a very clear understanding.

Are the u19 players easy to get along with? Will they be ranked according to seniority? Will they play big names?

Zhou Yi was thinking about his future, while Mark was nagging about his future.

Just nagging all the way.

His father drove quietly.

It really makes people wonder how such a taciturn father could have such a noisy son?

When he got out of the car, Mark was still talking non-stop, taking the time to say goodbye to his father.

Then the two walked straight towards the u17 locker room amidst Mark's nagging, and only halfway through did the two of them react.

Ah! It's so risky, it's almost embarrassing! Mark said.

It's okay, I really went wrong, so I told them that we came to say hello to everyone. Didn't Gotze do this before? Zhou Yi said, So I wondered if that silly boy went wrong at that time. Door.

No way? Mark was a little skeptical.

How is it impossible? Based on my observation of him that time, I think it is because of this! With his brain, it is very normal to do such a thing!

But he's not stupid. His father is a university teacher, and his academic performance is quite good...

That's a nerd, it doesn't mean smart. I don't do well in exams, but I'm smart! Zhou Yi boasted.

certainly,

For his self-boasting, the simple Mark naturally believed it.

The two walked towards the U19 dressing room while talking about their U19 teammates.

But when he walked to the door, Mark suddenly hesitated.

Why? Zhou Yi was surprised.

This... I'm a little nervous. Mark clutched his heart.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: Promise!

Aren't you nervous! Mark yelled.

What's there to be nervous about? Is it possible that the u19s will eat us? Or do you think they are unfriendly to us?

Uh, I don't know... Anyway, I just feel nervous...

Mark, you've been staying at home for too long. You should go out more. If you continue like this, you won't dare to contact strangers. Zhou Yi said helplessly.

Judging from his three-month contact with Mark, Mark is a standard otaku in China. When the team is not training, he would rather sleep in and play games at home than go out for a walk. So I have been in Dortmund for three months. Up to now, he doesn’t know what kind of city Dortmund is. His activities are concentrated in the training base and near Mark’s house. The city scenery of Dortmund he saw is all It is the scenery along the road from the small town of Brackle to Mark's house.

In fact, he is not much more familiar with the bar than Zhou Yi. If it wasn't for taking the homesick Zhou Yi to relax, he wouldn't go there a few times a year. Since you can't even drink alcohol, what do you do in a bar?

Pick up girls?

Mark can still speak eloquently in front of acquaintances, but when it comes to girls, he becomes dull.

Isn't this a standard otaku performance?

Who said that! Mark retorted.

I just said that.

It's not because I'm staying at home...

Then prove it to me. Zhou Yi annoyed Mark.

Hmph, proof is proof! Mark was encouraged by Zhou Yi, forgetting the nervousness and embarrassment, walked to the door of the locker room, and pulled the door open.

Then...he froze.

What's the matter? Zhou Yi urged him behind Mark, Give them hello. Didn't you say you're not afraid...uh.

He also froze. Because the u19 locker room is... empty!

We're late! It's over, Zhou Yi! We were late for U19 training on the first day!! The coach will definitely drive us back to U17! Mark yelled in despair.

Calm down! Zhou Yi really wanted to kick Mark's ass. Look at the locker room, it's as clean as if it's just been cleaned. If they're all here, how can it not be a mess?

Mark was also stunned when he heard this.

Then Zhou Yi asked: Is the training time the same for u19 and u17?

Uh... it seems... different, u17 is a little earlier... At this point, Mark reacted. He looked back at Zhou Yi in surprise: We... came early?

Of course. Zhou Yi went straight into the still empty locker room, We came according to the U17 training time, of course we came early. Well, Mark. The good news is that you don't have to worry about being kicked back to U17.

Is there any bad news? Mark, who heard Zhou Yi's subtext, was surprised. Come early what bad news can there be?

The bad news is that you and I, two idiots, will sit here stupidly, waiting for others to come, and then how are you going to explain to your new teammates that you have been waiting for them here for a long time? Zhou Yi began to imitate Following Mark's tone and voice, Sorry everyone, I misremembered the training time, so we've been waiting here until our asses are numb?

Uh... In fact, we have just arrived.

Zhou Yi began to change clothes: But anyway, we can't really sit on the chairs and wait for them stupidly. Come on, Mark, let's play with the ball first, there are only two of us here, it's really spacious! You have to see Whoever is upset, just take the ball and kick his cabinet! Did you see Schneider's name?

※※※

In fact, Zhou Yi and Mark didn't wait long. After they passed the ball in various ways for 20 minutes, the door of the locker room was opened again.

Mark couldn't care less about receiving Zhou Yi's pass, and turned to look at the door. Zhou Yi is the same.

So under the gaze of the two people... Mario Gotze walked in.

When Gotze came in and saw Zhou Yi and Mark looking at him in the locker room, he froze for a moment.

Then he frowned and said to the two, Ah, I'm sorry... I went the wrong way.

He said to Zhou Yi and Mark.

Mark was stunned and didn't speak, but Zhou Yi nodded seriously: When you go out, turn left and go straight, that's where you're going.

Thank you, thank you... Gotze thanked Zhou Yi, then turned and walked out of the locker room. As Zhou Yi said, he turned left and disappeared at the door.

Seeing Gotze go away like this, Mark was a little stunned: He...he really left?

Zhou Yi had an expression of I didn't expect it: Or else? Didn't you say that he is not stupid?

Uh...uh... Facing the hard truth, Mark had nothing to say.

Gotze was a super genius when he was in U17. The team's top star, from coach to teammates, treated him like a star. Mark has indeed rarely seen Gotze so stupid...

About twenty seconds later, Gotze reappeared at the door of the locker room, and he complained to Zhou Yi: There is the u17 locker room!

Hearing what Gotze said, neither Zhou Yi nor Mark could hold back, and hugged each other with laughter.

Don't you think he's stupid, Mark! Haha! Did he walk over there and find out!

I, I don't know...haha! Mark laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and he no longer maintained the glorious image of Getze in front of Zhou Yi.

Seeing these two people laughing together, Gotze also understood that he was tricked by Zhou Yi.

So he countered: Then you went wrong too!

Why did we go wrong? Zhou Yi asked Gotze with a smile.

This is the U19 locker room! Gotze said seriously.

Zhou Yi and Mark looked at each other, laughed again, and then Zhou Yi said: From today on, we are your teammates, Mario!

Gotze had a shocked expression on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.

Hey, what's your expression? Is it incredible that we come to u19? Zhou Yi asked unwillingly.

Uh, it's really incredible. Gotze said, Is this too fast? How long have you been in u17?

Less than three months. Zhou Yi said.

The expression on Gotze's face was even more shocked.

Zhou Yi said proudly: Relax, Mario. Even if you meet a super genius, you don't have to lose your composure.

Faced with such a shameless Zhou Yi, Gotze was quite speechless. Moreover, he was promoted from u17 to u19 in three months. Then he asked casually, How long have you been here?

It's almost half an hour... Mark covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking—how could he forget what he said before when he just arrived?

Gotze looked at the two people in surprise: You guys came so early?

However, he immediately realized that he had grasped Zhou Yi's trick, so he laughed: It seems that you are not too used to the u19 training schedule!

Zhou Yi glared at Mark: This is disappointing!

Then he said angrily: I'm sorry, we forgot to go to the u17 locker room first, and say hello to the original teammates first.

Why couldn't Gotze tell that Zhou Yi was talking about himself? So he retorted: I didn't remember the training time wrong that time.

I don't believe it! Zhou Yi snorted. You said you didn't remember it wrong, so you didn't remember it wrong?

Gotze spread his hands: I was still training with the first team before. If I remember the training time wrong, I should follow the training time of the first team.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say - he is indeed someone who has experienced the years of the first team... This invisible pretense is the most deadly.

Okay, you won... Zhou Yi bowed his head and admitted defeat. I have never been to the first team, so I have no confidence in pretending to be aggressive!

Hmph, sooner or later I'll go to the first team too!

In the end he said something reluctantly.

Ge Ce, who won the Zhouyi, smiled and said nothing, as if he had come here.

※※※

After Gotze, people came in one after another in the U19 locker room. They were all teammates of Zhou Yi and Mark in U19. As the only person familiar with Zhou Yi, Gotze took on the task of introducing Zhou Yi and Mark to everyone.

When he introduced Mark for the first time, he read out Mark's full name without hesitation, which made Mark quite excited-unexpectedly, the proud son of u17 remembered his name as a substitute for ten thousand years!

U19 is not surprised by the transfer of u17, everyone is used to it, and some people actually got here in the first place.

They were just more curious about Zhou Yi's identity. Because Dortmund's youth academy has been in the youth academy for so many years, it is the first time that a Chinese has appeared in their team.

China... What a distant word, just thinking about it will make them feel a sense of distance.

Some people wonder why Gotze met Zhou Yi.

Facing everyone's curiosity, Gotze explained: A few months ago, I played against Zhou Yi.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

But suddenly someone with good deeds asked: Then who won?

Gotze glanced at Zhou Yi and said, Of course I won!

This is not a surprising answer.

But Zhou Yi was not to be outdone and said: I completed two assists and one goal.

I scored two goals and one assist. Gotze, who was standing next to Zhou Yi, also said.

Zhou Yi glanced at Gotze: I'm the midfielder.

The subtext is I am the organizer, you have the nerve to compare the number of goals with me?

Me too, Gotze said with a smile.

The meaning behind it is Who said playmakers can't score a lot of goals?

I'm willing to help others. Zhou Yi spread his hands, shameless——I follow Lei Feng's good example, what's the matter?

I... Gotze had nothing to say, it was impossible for him to say I like to eat alone, right?

In fact, he planned to be helpful at the beginning of that game, but who told Schneider not to live up to it? Completely entangled by the small defender of the opponent...

But he can't talk about another teammate in front of this teammate, can he?

Seeing that Gotze was speechless and unable to answer, the teammates were all stunned. They turned their attention to the smiling and kind-looking Zhou Yi.

It was the first time for them to see... such a newcomer...

On the contrary, Mark saw that Zhou Yi had the upper hand in the confrontation with Gotze, and his eyes were full of smugness-it is indeed my idol of Mark Wagner. In front of Dortmund's number one genius Mario Gotze, his aura is not inferior at all !
