Champion’s Heart

Zhouyi, look! Mark called Zhouyi to his room and pointed to the computer screen to show him.

Zhou Yi saw a group photo of himself, Gotze and Mark holding the German Cup at a glance.

The official website reported us! Look at the title they used - Trident of the Youth A Team! How handsome! Mark said excitedly.

It's really handsome. Zhou Yi said looking at the screen.

On the plane returning to Dortmund from Berlin, a reporter from Dortmund's official website interviewed him and his teammates.

I didn't expect this report to be published so soon.

This is not the first time he has appeared on the Dortmund club's official website, but it is the first time he has appeared on the homepage of the official website.

The report introduced the Trident combination in the Dortmund U19 team.

It is believed that the reason why Dortmund was able to win the German Cup is due to the trident combination.

When Zhou Yi was reading the report, Mark kept making noises beside him, dancing with excitement.

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder: Calm down, Mark. This is just on our club website. What if you go on Kicker in the future?

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Mark was stunned. Looking at his expression, Zhou Yi knew that he must have started to fantasize about the scene where his photo appeared on Kicker.

Ah, fanciful child... how enviable!

Yang Mu singer holds the local newspaper Western News, which is a media that focuses on Schalke 04 news, and is the same as Ruhr News that specializes in reporting Dortmund club news.

In the corner of this newspaper, Yang Muge found news about Dortmund's U19 winning the Youth German Cup final.

With just a few words and a few lines, Western News expressed their position in this way-the success of the sworn enemy, and they are willing to set aside a little space to mention this matter, which is already very neutral and objective. As for the details Reporting, don't even think about it.

But Yang Muge didn't need Western News to report in detail, because he watched the whole process of the competition.

Zhou Yi's performance in the game impressed him very much. He found that since he came to Germany, every time he saw Zhou Yi, he felt that he was very different from the last time, and he made rapid progress.

Today's Zhou Yi is completely different from the student player who first joined the reality show team.

He really is a footballer who was born to play football, and in Germany, a place with a rich football culture, he is like a fish in water.

If he didn't choose to go to school, but to receive formal professional football training, maybe he is also a figure of He Ying's level.

But it doesn't matter, fortunately he came to Germany, fortunately he chose the path he should take.

Yang Muge was really happy for Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart.

Hi, Yang. Seeing Yang Muge dazed with a newspaper, Draxler took the initiative to greet him. Why do you want to buy a newspaper and read it?

Yang Muge pointed to the news of Dortmund's U19 championship to Draxler.

Ah... Dortmund... Damn it! The smile on Draxler's face disappeared. The day just passed was a day when Dortmund fans were happy, but Schalke 04 fans were unhappy.

Especially as a Schalke 04 youth team player, this feeling is even deeper.

The arch-rivals stole the show by winning the DFB-Pokal final.

I didn't watch that game, but let me guess, your friend must have had a blast at the game, right? Draxler asked.

Yang Muge nodded: Well, two assists helped Dortmund win Freiburg 2-0.

The two goals are related to him... Draxler suddenly said to Yang Muge with a serious expression, Yang, we have to redouble our efforts. I have a bad feeling, maybe your friend , he will appear in the first team earlier than us... in the first team!

Dortmund U19 won the Youth German Cup, but this did not have much impact on the team itself.

Except after returning to Dortmund, Yebara gave the team two days off.

But Zhou Yi and Mark were not idle these two days. They went to the football field near Mark's house again. Zhou Yi passed the ball to Mark, and Mark came to shoot.

This not only practiced Zhou Yi's passing, but also practiced Mark's shooting.

Zhou Yi's passing is actually very good, but he is still not satisfied. Sometimes he still feels that he sees an empty space, but he can't pass the football, because passing the ball is too difficult, and passing the ball rashly will miss it. The ball, so he had no choice but to cross or pass the football back again, allowing the two sides to move again and find space again.

But in this way, the team's offensive rhythm was delayed.

Zhou Yi's goal is to improve his short pass to more than 90, and now his short pass is 65, which is a little higher than Gotze, who is 64.

Twenty-five points away from the minimum goal of ninety.

You must know that Zhou Yi just started his short pass, but he only had twenty-two points.

In fact, Zhou Yi's progress was very rapid, but he also felt that with the increase of the value, the difficulty became more and more difficult. He has been stuck at sixty-five points for almost a month.

Although the training in the virtual world has the ability to increase the training effect, in the final analysis, it still has to fall into the actual training. If you only train in the virtual world, and you don’t touch the ball when you leave the virtual world, and you still want to increase your ability, then Really dreaming.

So in the daily training of the team, Zhou Yi trains very seriously. In addition to physical training, he will also do some basic technical training in his spare time.

Especially after discovering the football field near Mark's house, as long as there is a chance, Zhou Yi and Mark will come here to train on the days when there is no game. He practices passing and Mark practices shooting. , he passes the ball to Mark, and Mark shoots the football towards the goal.

Later, after Gotze joined, it became a special training for fast passing and running.

The regrouped Borussia Dortmund U19s were asked by their head coach Yebala to quickly forget about their freshly won DFB-Pokal.

We still have the league title to contend for next, and immersing ourselves in the past results is meaningless for the future. So there will be no difference between today's training and usual training.

After Yebara finished speaking, he proved this to the players with practical actions-he called Zhou Yi, Mark and Gotze to play the game again.

Huh? Still playing? Isn't the German Cup finished? Zhou Yi was very surprised.

You think I'm preparing this for the German Cup final? No! You haven't won yet!

However, the three of them were not very depressed. After getting used to the game, they thought it was actually quite fun...

Yebara has strengthened his mind from the German Cup final. In the rest of the season, he will use the trident tactic as his main tactic.

Relying on the performance of the trident to hit the league championship.

In the face of Freiburg's fierce high-position pressing, the trident tactics can work well, why not place more hopes on them?

Just a week after the Youth German Cup final, Dortmund U19 ushered in their twenty-fifth round of the German U19 League Western Division.

In this game, Borussia Dortmund will face Hupeidal at home.

This team is currently ranked second to last in the league, and its strength is not strong.

But despite this, Yebara still played with all the main players, and there was no shortage of Tridents, all of whom started.

He just wants to use more games to hone the trident, and strive to polish the trident when the playoffs come.

The performance of the Trident did not disappoint Yebala. In this game, Dortmund defeated Hupeidal 5-0 at home. Among them, Goetze scored twice, Mark scored a goal, and Zhou Yi also completed two goals. assists.

As a result, Dortmund, ranked number one, is five points ahead of Leverkusen, who is ranked second, and qualified for the playoffs one round ahead of schedule.

And from them down, all teams can only look forward to fighting again in the coming year.

Another week later, in the final round of the Western League, Dortmund challenged Leverkusen, who is second in the league, away.

The main players are still playing, but this time Zhou Yi only played half of the game and was replaced.

It's not because of poor performance, but because Yebara has to save strength for the playoffs.

Gotze was also replaced shortly after the start of the second half. Trident left Mark on the field.

In the end, Dortmund U19 lost 1:3 away to Leverkusen U19. However, the outcome of this game is not important anymore. The Dortmund players who qualified for the playoffs in advance are obviously absent-minded on the court. They are now thinking about the playoffs, not the game in front of them.

Yebala didn't criticize the team either.

After all, as a young man, it is difficult to control his emotions. In this season, they have done very well, and this last irrelevant game is lost if they lose.

In this way, Dortmund U19 ended all their games in the U19 Western League this season. In the 26 rounds of the league, Dortmund U19 had 20 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses with 63 points, 91 goals scored and 3 conceded. Twelve goals, goal difference fifty-nine goals.

In addition to conceding four more goals than second-ranked Leverkusen, they are ranked first in other statistics.

And last season, the same team led by Yebala finished fourth in the Western League and didn't make it to the playoffs at all. In the twenty-six rounds of the league, sixteen games were won, four games were tied, and six games were lost. The performance is completely different from today.

Of course, compared with last season's Dortmund U19 this season, there are some more players, such as last season's U17 Western League top scorer Daniel Kinchek, Mario Gotze, Zhou Yi and Mark.

They are all important reasons why the team can have such a good performance.

Next, they will prepare for the semi-finals of the playoffs a week later.

And Dortmund's opponent in the semi-finals is very coincidentally Freiburg U19... 〖To be continued〗
