Champion’s Heart

The game resumed soon after Dortmund U19s put the football in the center circle.

For Dortmund U19s, time is running out, and they naturally hope that the game will start as soon as possible.

As for Schalke 04, when they led by two goals twice at home, they were pulled back by the opponent twice in a row. How could they swallow this breath?

They naturally want to regain the two-goal advantage and tell Dortmund whose territory this is.

After the start of the game, Dortmund, who had just scored a goal, launched a fierce offensive towards Schalke 04's goal.

Schalke 04 withstood Dortmund's attack, while still waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

As long as they can get the ball, they will not hesitate to launch a quick counterattack and try to catch Dortmund by surprise.

After Mark's ball, the competition for the game has become more intense. The rhythm of the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides has begun to speed up, and the scene is much better... Of course, it is also a bit chaotic.

When Dortmund took the ball to attack, it was intercepted by Schalke 04 when it hit the right. Schalke 04 quickly launched a quick counterattack.

The Dortmund players quickly returned to defense.

Seeing that Schalke 04 had the opportunity to attack, the Schalke 04 supporters in the stands and on the sidelines of the game all shouted excitedly.

Neuer seemed particularly excited, he raised his arms and shouted: Come on! Crush them!

※※※

When the Schalke 04 full-back took the ball and rushed up, most of the Dortmund players were returning to the defense, but Zhou Yi stood still.

This move fell into the eyes of others, and it was probably evidence that Zhou Yi did not actively return to defense and had a negative attitude towards the game.

But Zhou Yi has his own ideas.

Even if he withdraws to defend, it won't be of much use. Why don't he just stay here, maybe he can have a chance to counterattack?

Now in his mind, there is a floor plan of the stadium. In this floor plan, Zhou Yi can clearly see the positions of the players on both sides of the field at this moment. If he wants to break through with the ball himself, then Zhou Yi has nothing to do.

If he's going to pass the ball forward,

Zhou Yi had no choice.

But if he wants to pass the ball to the middle... Zhou Yi's current position is not far from that passing route.

He blocked the opponent's pass to the center.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't pass the pass, he just needs to run back.

As soon as the Schalke 04 player with the ball crossed the center line, he encountered a Dortmund player's interception, and the route to go forward along the sidewalk was blocked. So he cut in to the middle, and then moved the football sideways with one kick!

It's now!

Zhou Yi, who had been paying attention to him all the time, saw him turning to the middle, and immediately stepped forward, so when the opponent made a cross pass, he just intercepted the opponent's cross pass!

Ah!! Seeing this scene, Neuer, who was cheering, quickly put his hands on his head and yelled. Then he pointed at Zhou Yi and shouted: Force him! Force him! Don't let him pass the football!

※※※

Amidst the screams of the Schalke 04 fans, Zhou Yi took the ball forward and crossed the center line.

The midfielder of Schalke 04, who was preparing to receive a cross pass from his teammate in the middle circle, was the closest to Zhou Yi, so he quickly turned around and approached Zhou Yi.

Facing his interception, Zhou Yi swiped the football to the outside with the instep of his right foot, separating the opponent with his body.

But that didn't get him out of the defense. Another Schalke 04 midfielder on the wing also turned around and rushed towards Zhou Yi, intending to pinch Zhou Yi with his teammates, trap Zhou Yi, and then break his ball, or force Zhou Yi to make a pass error. Dortmund's counterattack hit this time.

At the same time, Goetze, who had failed to attack on the side, had not returned to the defense. He quickly moved to the center and made a cross exchange with Kinchek.

His movement successfully attracted the attention of the Schalke 04 defenders, and all eyes were on him.

But Zhou Yi didn't, he was secretly looking at Mark at the far end.

When he stole the ball just now, Mark was in an offside position, so he passed the football directly without just stealing the ball.

Instead, walk forward with the ball, while attracting the opponent's defensive attention, while giving teammates time to move.

Sure enough, seeing his move, Mark ran back with a stride.

At the same time, the two Schalke 04 players pressed Zhou Yi harder and harder.

Zhou Yi used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football to the side again, twisting his body, it seemed that he could only pass the ball to the side.

But there is no Dortmund player on the wing. Gotze, who was on the wing before, is now moving to the center.

Unless Zhou Yi passes the football to Kinchek in the rib.

But Kinchek's back is facing the attacking direction, and there is a Schalke 04 defender behind him. There is no obvious passing angle between him and Zhou Yi. It's not even easy to pass on to him.

From this point of view, Zhou Yi brought football to a dead end by himself.

Pass the ball! Dortmund players on the Dortmund bench couldn't help shouting. Don't bring it!

Schneider next to him snorted coldly in his heart, he was waiting to see Zhou Yi lose the ball.

Good job! Neuer, who was off the court, saw Zhou Yi being forced to the side by the Schalke 04U19 players, and excitedly waved his fists to applaud.

※※※

But just when the Schalke 04 fans in the stands thought their defense was successful, Zhou Yi suddenly swung his right foot, turned around and kicked the football!

The football did not fly to the side, nor was it passed to Kinchek, nor was it passed to Gotze who ran to the center.

Instead, it went higher and farther, and flew straight to the far end!

Or to be more specific, it flew to the front of the far end!

Mark, who had just retreated into place, turned around and rushed forward again. He chased after the football's landing point!

But this is not an obvious gap, because beside him, there are two Schalke 04 players in blue shirts on the left and right!

The original central defender was chasing back quickly, while the full-back retracted after Zhou Yi passed the ball and pushed towards Mark.

This is completely different from Mark's previous goals!

The aggressive full-back slammed directly into Mark, hoping to knock him down.

But Mark was not easily knocked to the ground by him. He resisted the opponent's impact, although his footsteps were a little staggering.

At the same time, he stretched his foot to stop the ball.

The ball passed by Zhou Yi was stopped by him with his left foot, and the distance was just right.

※※※

Yebara, who saw Mark stop the ball this time, stood up from his seat.

In his opinion, this is a crucial stop!

If Mark hadn't stopped the ball just now, then this counterattack would have been in vain-in fact, if this is the case, it is not too surprising. Not everyone can control the football well while colliding with the body, even those professional players, let alone people like Mark.

Seeing that Zhou Yi chose to pass such a high ball to Mark, and Mark hadn't gotten rid of the defense, Yebara actually didn't have any hope in his heart.

He is well aware of Mark's physical ability to fight.

But at the moment of his suspicion, the fighting spirit that Mark showed in his usual training and team games flashed in his mind...

There is such a little bit of luck in my heart-maybe, what if, maybe... he can do it?

As soon as this idea came to him, Mark withstood the impact of the opponent's full-back, and then stopped the football beautifully!

As soon as Yebara got excited, she stood up from her seat, then walked to the sidelines, staring nervously at the inside of the court.

He knew it wasn't over yet!

Because although Mark leaned against the opponent's full-back with his body, Schalke 04 still has a central defender!

At this time, the central defender of Schalke 04, who had already chased after him, rushed forward when he saw this, stepped forward with his left leg, and stretched towards the football, intending to stab it out.

Just when he was about to succeed, Mark, who was squeezed between the two, took the lead and hit the football!

When he was pushed away by two defenders of Schalke 04, he also shot the football towards the goal!

Mark shot between the two of them so quickly that the goalkeeper of Schalke 04 didn't react. His body tilted, and the football had already passed by him, and then... after hitting the goal line net!

Three minutes after Dortmund just scored, they scored again!

3: 3! Dortmund equalized the score!

※※※

Great goal!! It wasn't a Dortmund fan or Mark's parents who yelled this, but... Yebara standing on the sidelines!

He raised his arms and shouted, looking very excited!

Not just because the ball tied the game, but because of the things he saw throughout the ball, the really exciting stuff.

In Yebala's heart, Mark Wagner officially became a member of Dortmund's U19 from this moment on!

※※※

Mark threw himself on the ground and watched the football fly into the goal. He excitedly got up from the ground, then turned around and ran to Zhou Yi who was passing the ball to him.

Zhou Yi also ran towards him, and the two embraced again.

This ball is really beautiful, Mark! Zhou Yi said happily, patting his head. You did it! You didn't get knocked down by the defender! I knew you could do it, Mark! I didn't run when the ball went out, just waiting to celebrate the goal, ha!

Facing Zhou Yi's praise, Mark had nothing but to laugh. This more than a month of hard work...is finally not in vain!

This time Gotze didn't run to the goal to pick up the ball. There were more than 20 minutes left in the game. He didn't rush Mark. He also wanted to enjoy the joy of equalizing the score and let Mark have a good time. He knew exactly what this goal meant to Mark.

Although he has scored similar goals in team games, this is an official game after all, an official game with a higher confrontation intensity, and it is also a Ruhr Derby with higher confrontation intensity than the official game!

When the opponent's full-back rushed up, Gotze was really worried that Mark would be knocked into the air.

But Mark took it.

Well done, Mark! Gotze reached out and patted Mark on the shoulder. Twice scored!

※※※

Mark!! Mrs. Wagner yelled as the football rolled into the goal. Oh!! Mark!!

Her son scored two goals in a row within three minutes, and Mrs. Wagner didn't know what to say other than shouting her son's name.

Even old Wagner, who had always been taciturn, blushed and roared, Well done, son! Well done!

Cortana, who was standing next to her parents, listened to their wild roars, looked at her brother who was smiling happily, and fell into deep thought.

※※※

I'll just say it, I'll just say it... Drax pulled his head and muttered. That kid is Dortmund's secret weapon! He and Zhou Yi are Dortmund's secret weapon...

Neuer was silent.

What else could he complain about?

Although the goal was due to a pass error from the midfielder of his own team, after losing possession, every Schalke 04U19 player did their best. Before the No. 25 shot, they There are two Schalke 04 defenders close to him.

In this way, they have not been able to prevent the opponent from scoring.

What else can he say?

You can't blame God, can you?

PS, when I was playing football yesterday, I fell backwards after throwing the first ball, and I used my hands to support it reflexively, so the weight of nearly 90 kilograms was pressed on my left wrist that first touched the ground. At that time, I felt a sharp pain in my wrist.

I kept kicking for more than an hour, and every time my left hand touched the ground, I felt pain. Later, I didn't even dare to touch the ball with my left hand. I took off the glove and looked - my wrist was swollen.

So I went home early, applied cold compresses with ice cubes, and applied medicinal wine. After almost two hours, I didn't even dare to take a hot bath.

It doesn't look so swollen now, but I still dare not use force when I move my wrist.

I can barely type, but the speed is definitely not fast. So I wrote slowly, now even slower...

If you feel sorry for my swollen hands and insist on coding, please vote for me.
