Champion’s Heart

Chapter 41: The Debuted Genius

In the thirteenth round of the league, Borussia Dortmund played against Mainz at home.

In this game, Gotze entered the 18-man squad for the first time this season, while Zhou Yi continued to go to the South Stand.

Of course, before the game, Barrios also asked Zhou Yi if he could continue to score goals, and asked Zhou Yi to touch his head and say the answer.

So Zhou Yi told him that he would continue to score goals in the game.

But this time, Zhou Yi's magical witchcraft failed. Barrios did not score, and Dortmund did not win. At home, they played 0:0 with Mainz.

Barrios, who started the game, played the full 90 minutes, and until the last minute of the game, he was still looking for scoring opportunities.

But unfortunately, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, he could only return without success.

Barrios' frightening form seems to be interrupted by the national team game... this game he still played hard, but it can be seen that the long-distance travel has affected his state... not being able to score a goal It's a pity that Dortmund didn't win the game because of it, said Marcel Leif, who also showed Barrios in close-up on the TV screen, looking disappointed as he was exhausted.

Zhou Yi in the stands let out a sigh of relief—if Barrios scores again in the afternoon, I'm afraid he really has to form a religion. Well, what will be the name then?

Old altar sauerkraut beef noodle teaching? Don't put tomato sauce in the pot of meat? Zhou Yi is the most handsome teacher?

Thinking of names is a headache, but now Zhou Yi doesn't have to worry about names anymore.

But when he returned to the small town of Brakel, he was also disappointed by the disappearance of his mysterious power.

Because when he passed by the small shop where he bought the lottery ticket, he found that the lottery ticket he bought didn't win the prize...

Is this because I bought a lottery ticket and tried to use superpowers to make money, so my superpowers were cancelled? Or did they get together because of pure bad luck?

Zhou Yi thought about it, and decided to accept the setting of the super power was canceled because he tried to use the super power to make money for himself.

Then he let out a long sigh, crumpled up the lottery ticket and threw it into the trash can next to him, then walked away shaking his head.

Be greedy for a moment, regret for a lifetime. Say goodbye to Superman's life!

Although Barrios did not score.

But Dortmund's local media still has no shortage of hype.

After the game, Gotze became a local man of the hour in Dortmund.

Because he came off the bench against Mainz. In the 88th minute of the game, Gotze replaced Kuba and completed his first league appearance in his career.

Even if only for a few minutes. But in the eyes of many people, this is a milestone in Gotze's career. It may also be a milestone in Dortmund's history.

In the youth team period, Gotze was a genius that everyone had high hopes for. Dortmund fans even believed that Dortmund would become the core of the team in the next ten years.

He was once called up to the first team last season. But he has never been able to get the chance to play in the first team. Ended up going to U19.

Because of his outstanding performance in U19, at the beginning of the new season. He was transferred to the first team by Klopp, and Zhou Yi was also transferred to the first team with him.

Although both he and Gotze performed well in the youth team, everyone still has higher expectations for Gotze. Gotze is also more famous than Zhou Yi.

Because it has not been a year or two for Gotze to be exposed in the media, since he was very young. He got the attention of Dortmund fans and local media.

Everyone's expectations of him are naturally also because of his outstanding strength. In the German National Youth Team, he has already won the European Youth Championship. Then of course. Everyone will not only look forward to his success in Dortmund, but also in the German national team.

Such a player who will not only be the main core of Dortmund in the future, but also the main core of the German national team will naturally receive much more attention than Zhou Yi.

Gotze, who finally made his debut in the league, is also considered to have taken the most important step.

Seventeen years and five months old, Gotze is the ninth youngest player in Bundesliga history.

After making his first appearance, everyone expects him to play more frequently in the team, and at the same time, he can gain goals and assists as soon as possible to help the team win and... the championship!

After the game, both TV and radio programs were talking about Gotze. Expert fans gathered together to analyze Gotze's future in Dortmund and the national team. One thing everyone is sure of is that with Gotze's talent, he will definitely rank among the world's top stars.

As for Zhou Yilai, who was transferred to the first team at the same time as Gotze, no one mentioned it at all.

The deepest impression he has left on the general public is that he has scored Barrios goals in five consecutive rounds of league predictions, earning him the nickname Wizard...

※ ※ ※

Since Barrios didn't score a goal, the number of people who went to Zhou Yi for initiation outside the training base was much better than before, but it wasn't completely absent.

For example, Zhou Yi met such a person now.

'Daddy'? Zhou Yi looked at the smiling Bruno who appeared in front of him, and was surprised. Are you kidding me too?

Bruno put his hat on and said with a smile: I'm glad you called me that, Zhou Yi, you made me think I was still in the South Stand. Actually, I came to ask for your autograph, ha!

Looking for my autograph? Zhou Yi was very strange. If you want to sign, you can sign while watching the game in the South Stand...

Actually, I accompanied my granddaughter to see Dortmund training today, Bruno explained.

Ah, granddaughter... Zhou Yi was a little surprised. He and father had known each other not long ago, but this was the first time he heard him mention his family members. In the past, everyone in the South Stand would not talk about other topics except football and the Dortmund team. Until now, Zhou Yi only knew that Daddy was Bruno, but he didn't know his surname at all. Not only Daddy, but also other people, there are only some simple names, some may even sound like code names, and I don't know what work they do in daily life, what family and stories they have...

This is not the indifference of those people, but a deliberate isolation. Just like what Mark explained to Zhou Yi: when he was on the South Stand. Everyone's identity is unified as Dortmund's most die-hard fans. As for whether you are a lawyer or a student, a bum or a rich man in real life, that doesn't matter, no one cares. And no one will ask unless you bring it up yourself. Everyone will not refuse, but after a few simple chats, they will continue to talk about football and Dortmund.

In the South Stand. Only Dortmund and football are the most important, nothing else is important.

Yeah. Bruno in real life didn't have the momentum when he was maintaining order in the South Stand. Wearing a peaked cap, he looks more like a funny and kind old man, speaking slowly and in a low voice. Also not as fast and punchy as in the South Stand. She is a fan of Goetze. Isn't this just Goetze's appearance in the game? She was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night, and today I must bring her to find Goetze's autograph...

Do you want to sign? You can tell me. I'll go directly to Gotze to ask for it...

No. Bruno shook his head. In fact, she just wanted to ask Gotze for an autograph in person, so that she could introduce herself to Gotze.

After speaking, he pouted over there.

Zhou Yi looked along. Sure enough, there were many people around Gotze's car, many of them were young girls. They kept screaming and cheering. They were the most lively group of people outside the training base, and they were also the most eye-catching.

Then there must be the granddaughter of Daddy among them...

Gotze is what girls like, but I'm not very interested, so I came to you for an autograph. Bruno smiled. You are a child who went out of our South Stand, and I have to support you.

He winked at Zhou Yi.

No problem. Zhou Yi quickly took out the pen that he carried with him. For the convenience of signing, he always carried the pen with him.

Yo, you still carry your own pen? Bruno was a little surprised when he reached into his pocket when Zhou Yi took out a pen.

Hey, I learned this from the 'Grand Cross'. Zhou Yi was ashamed to call Gross Kreutz the nickname Master in front of outsiders. It is really karma to say that he gave Gross Kreutz the nickname Uncle to tease Gross Kreutz, but he was later given the nickname Wizard by Barrios... …

'Grand Cross', he also came out of our South Stand. I'm so happy that he can return to Dortmund this year.

Just as Zhou Yi finished signing Bruno, he saw a little brown-haired girl with freckles running over holding a star card: Grandpa!

Bruno lovingly squatted down and hugged the granddaughter who rushed forward: Have you got the autograph?

Yeah! The little girl nodded vigorously, and showed the star card to her grandfather, and it really had Gotze's signature on it.

Zhou Yi looked at this little girl who was a bit baby fat, then at Bruno, and said with some surprise: 'Daddy' is this your granddaughter?

Then Bruno got up, pointed to Zhou Yi and said to his granddaughter, Ava, this is the Zhou Yi I told you about. He is also a very good player.

Zhou Yi waved his hands again and again, showing humility.

The little girl looked up at Zhou Yi, and asked curiously, Is Mario as good as him?

Zhou Yi couldn't move his hand...

Ava! Bruno reprimanded in a low voice.

It's okay, 'Daddy'. Zhou Yi stopped Bruno, and smiled at the little girl: I'm as good as him!

Then why haven't I watched your game? Ava's big eyes flickered, and she looked like a doll when she was in doubt.

Cough. Zhou Yi coughed, Ava, you must have just become a Mario fan not long ago, right?

Ava was curious: How do you know?

Because if you had watched Mario play a long time ago, you would have seen me play. He and I are partners in the youth team! Zhou Yi said with his chest out.

What about the first team? Ava asked again.

Zhou Yi couldn't answer, and in the end he could only say dejectedly: I haven't played in the first team yet...

So Mario is better? the little girl said happily.

Bruno next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled again: Ava!

Zhou Yi waved his hands again and again: It's okay, 'Daddy'. Your granddaughter is quite cute, haha! He laughed again.

He also touched the top of the little girl's head, but Ava didn't move her head away.

Don't worry, Zhou Yi, we will definitely cheer for you in the South Stand on the day you play. Bruno said to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi thanked Father.

Let's go, Zhou Yi. Bruno was about to leave. Before leaving, he said to Zhou Yi, The next home game is the fifteenth round, right? We play Nuremberg at home. But to be honest, Zhou Yi. I don't want to be in the South Stand again. I saw you occupying my side!

Zhou Yi smiled.

Bruno laughed too.

The two waved goodbye.

Ava also waved to Zhou Yi when she left: Come on, big brother who hasn't played in the first team yet!

Zhou Yi squeezed out a smile and returned to her: Little sister, you just need to say 'Come on, big brother'! (To be continued.) Activate the new website
