Chapter 2 Adapting to the Full Moon
In the evening, when Zhou Yi entered the world of FIFAOL3, his first thing was to find Mark Wagner from his teammates.
It’s not because he can call Mark Wagner once against the Dortmund youth team, so he can remember the name of a substitute player who has not played on the bench for a minute.
The reason why he was able to recognize Mark Wagner was because since he decided to join Dortmund, he has been training with the Dortmund youth team in this virtual world. After training for almost a month, he naturally knew every player.
But this time he plans to get a good idea of Mark Wagner.
In the past, he always arranged the system by default, and the system by default was the main lineup of the Dortmund youth team. Mark Wagner was not seen in this lineup. Therefore, Zhou Yi only knew that there was such a person in the Dortmund youth team, but he didn't know what this person was like.
Now he plans to have a deeper understanding.
After finding Mark Wagner from his teammates, Zhou Yi opened Mark's attribute panel and learned about this person's ability by checking his attribute data.
From the attribute data, it can be seen that Mark makes sense to play as a substitute. His strength is indeed not outstanding in this team. As a forward, he cannot compete with Schneider.
However, Zhou Yi still noticed Mark's advantage, that is, his tactical awareness of up to seventy-seven and his position of seventy-five.
As a youth team player under the age of 18, this number is already very good. You should know that in the Dortmund youth team, many players who can reach seventy in a single item are considered geniuses.
Why are Mark’s two standout individual attributes? Why are they a substitute in the Dortmund youth team?
It's very simple, his other offensive attributes are really average.
As a forward, his shooting skills are only forty-four, which is too low. Zhou Yi's shooting skills are now fifty. You should know that he is a midfielder now and there is not much shooting training. Of course, Zhou Yi has golden fingers, and the training effect is generally improved faster.
But it can also be seen how bad Mark's shooting skills are.
A striker who has no good shooting will naturally not get too many opportunities to play.
Mark's shooting power is only forty, and he is not the kind of player who is good at shooting hard. He has 39 long shots, and his shooting power is not very good, so his long shot will naturally not be too good. The header is a little better, fifty-five, but unfortunately... Zhou Yi observed during the day today that Mark is not much taller than himself. He has such good header data, but his height is not good. If he can't keep up with the bounce and strength, no matter how good the header skills are, it will be useless.
Zhou Yi quickly looked at Mark's bounce and strength. He jumped forty-seven, quite average, forty-strong, and very average.
Well, this data determines that Mark cannot get any header in the strong central defender. He was knocked away when he entered the penalty area.
However, Mark's balance is pretty good. He is sixty and has a reaction of fifty-seven. He is versatile and has versatile and versatile. He is considered a flexible striker...
In terms of speed and acceleration, Mark is not at all advantage. He is not the kind of Cheetah who can't catch up with anyone when he runs the ball, nor is he the kind of sprinter who runs without a ball and runs like track and field athletes.
As a forward, he is useless except for being flexible and good at standing.
With such attributes... if I were the coach of Dortmund youth team, he would not have been allowed to play.
It's so miserable...
In the first two months, Zhou Yi traveled to several European countries along with the reality show. Whether in Spain, Germany, England, Italy... these countries have one thing in common, and there are a lot of people participating in football.
When the children were still seven or eight years old, they would be sent to the football club team near the community for training. They did not train full-time, but also had to take into account their studies. It can be said that football is just their extracurricular activity, and learning is their main business.
The vast majority of these children cannot be played out. During the training process, as they grow older, the gap between physical and talent will appear.
Children with average talent or physical development cannot keep up will be gradually eliminated, football becomes their hobby, and they will choose other development directions, such as going to school.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, those who can play out have already stood out from a very large base, but they still have to face fierce competition and elimination.
A talented player like Mario Gotze will be promoted to the reserve team, first team, and the world of professional football.
Young people with mediocre abilities and always find it difficult to meet the requirements of professional football, after they are unable to sign a professional contract with the club, they either try again with a weak club, or find another way out, not taking the path of professional football, going to take the college entrance examination or working.
It seems that these people are quite a pity.
After spending more than ten years of youth, my dreams will not be realized in the end.
But it is precisely because of the huge talent selection mechanism that these thousands of children have participated in this huge talent selection mechanism that these European countries have become strong in football.
These children are the soil and the cornerstone. Without them, the prosperity of professional football and the national team will be water without source, trees without roots, castles in the sky, and mirages.
In Zhou Yi's view, Mark Wagner will most likely become an ordinary cornerstone of German football and be paved on the road from German football to world championships.
And what about Zhou Yi himself?
He has to train hard to avoid making himself the cornerstone. It’s not that the cornerstone is bad, the cornerstone is very important, but Zhou Yi has higher pursuits.
If it was just to become a cornerstone, why did he travel all the way to Germany?
Wouldn't it be better to still play carefreely on the school court?
After learning about Mark Wagner's abilities, Zhou Yi retreated from the attribute panel. He had no idea. This was his teammate. He could not interfere with whether he became a cornerstone or a professional player.
He'd better take care of his own affairs first.
So in the virtual Bracker training base, Zhou Yi and his virtual teammates started training again.
※※※
Today is the day when Zhou Yi officially started training in the Dortmund youth team. Because he and his teammates and coaches were still speechless, Tim Kister accompanied him as Zhou Yi's translator.
In the morning, Tim Kister drove to the hotel where Zhouyi stayed and picked him up, and then went to the Brakel training base, about ten kilometers away from the hotel.
"How are you sleeping at night?" asked Kester, who was driving.
"It's okay." Zhou Yi said.
"Is the jet lag reversed? Bad rest will affect training performance. When the coach sees it, they will leave a bad first impression. The first impression is quite important..."
"Mr. Kester, you reminded me of my father..." Zhou Yi said helplessly.
Kester smiled. He was indeed a little nagging, unlike him who usually did.
Because today is the first day Zhou Yi participated in team training. As he said, the first impression is very important, so this training class is also very important.
As a player he urged Klopp to introduce, if Zhou Yi performs poorly, his vision and ability as a scout will be questioned.
He doesn't want this to happen.
"Well, I can't go into the players' locker room. I can only translate it on the sidelines in the training ground. In fact, it's mostly time to rely on your own understanding. Don't be too nervous or too stressed. Even if you perform poorly, considering the actual situation you just flew over, there will be no one who has any ideas..."
"Mr. Kester, I think you seem to be more nervous than me." Zhou Yi spread his hands. Kester's words were inconsistent. He told him to perform well before, but now he told him that he actually doesn't have to perform well. So is it okay to perform well or it doesn't matter?
Kester smiled again and asked Zhou Yi: "Aren't you nervous?"
"Don't be nervous." Zhou Yi's answer was firm and his tone was very affirmative, which made Kester want to roll his eyes - you said so well, how could you not be nervous? Children need face and refuse to admit their own misfortunes. Kester didn't expose it, and still couldn't let it go. All he thought about was the scene of Zhou Yi making frequent mistakes in the training ground because he couldn't understand the words of the coach and teammates in the training ground, which made the youth team coaches and players shook their heads.
Ah, damn, I swear to God that I have never been so nervous when I sent my child to school on the first day!
※※※
When he arrived outside the locker room, Kister did not let Zhou Yi go in immediately, but seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Mr. Kester, why don't you let me in?" Zhou Yi asked, pointing to the door of the locker room.
"Wait, wait a little longer..." Keest looked outside. "Wagner isn't here yet... This kid is late for training..."
He murmured quietly.
Zhou Yi heard that Kester was waiting for Wagner to bring his own into the locker room.
However, Zhou Yi did not think that without Wagner, he would not even be able to enter the locker room door. It is very good to have a friend who treats him enthusiastically in the team, but it does not mean that he has to rely on him in everything.
So Zhou Yi did not say hello to Kister, and directly pushed open the door, then shouted in German: "Hello!"
Then he went in and greeted his new teammates one by one, and after a round trip, he came to his position.
Kester looked at Zhou Yi's performance behind him and shook his head.
This kid is not like the Chinese people he knows...
However, this method can be used to integrate into the team, but the training is still practical.
Players still have to look at training...
Kester always had worries in his heart.
It is rare for Kester to worry about Zhou Yi so much. Perhaps it is because he has followed Zhou Yi for so long and has given high hopes for Zhou Yi that he does not want him to fail.
He hopes that in a year, Zhou Yi can successfully adapt to his training and life in Dortmund, and then gradually get on the right track.
However, when the training began, Kester, who was a Zhou Yi translator, was still shocked on the sidelines - he found that Zhou Yi had a thorough understanding of the head coach's training intentions!
There was no problem he was worried about during the training.
Zhou Yi seemed to have been training with this team for a long time. He cooperated with his teammates and naturally integrated into the team.
Even the head coach of the youth team, Sasha Ecker, was surprised.
At the age of 48, he has rich experience in coaching the youth team, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Zhou Yi.
Seeing Zhou Yi cooperating with his new teammates on the court in a tacit way, he couldn't help but ask Kester: "Is he really the one who joined our team?"
Keest spread his hands: "I'm also confused. It looks like he's a veteran who has been training on your team for at least a year."
Ecker shook his head: "It's so strange. I can only say that this kid's adaptability may be better than all of us imagined..."
Kester didn't say anything anymore. Zhou Yi was very happy to integrate into the team so quickly. The stone in his heart could finally be put down.
Although he still doesn't quite understand why Zhou Yi can integrate into the team so quickly, and why he performs easily in training, just like playing football in his backyard...
Of course, neither he nor Ecker would understand that Zhou Yi had trained with this team for countless days and nights before coming to Brakel. He actually knew this team very well. He knew the style and characteristics of each of his teammates, and he knew how to cooperate with them in training and games.
And this is probably one of the biggest functions of that system.
If Zhou Yi can appear in the FM game database in the future, then his adaptability will definitely be... twenty-six-thousand-high!
