Chapter 15 Starting
Although it was a warm-up match, the coaching staff still attached great importance to this game. So according to the official youth team competition, head coach Ecker announced the starting lineup for tomorrow's game the day before the game.
When he pronounced Zhou Yi's name, his teammates looked at Zhou Yi one after another, but no one was too surprised to make any abnormal noise.
Because Zhou Yi's ability has been seen by all his teammates in his usual training, such a player is indeed capable of starting in this team.
In addition, after the previous experience of fighting between the two sides, the Dortmund U17 youth team accepted Zhou Yi very quickly.
However, Zhou Yi himself was a little surprised that he could start in the game so quickly.
Although he also wants to play the game, he also feels that he will not start too quickly. He is still very clear about his shortcomings, so he works hard in physical training.
Of course, he would be happy if he could play the game as soon as possible.
But... he glanced at Mark with some concern.
He is the starter, what about Mark? If Mark still misses the game, Zhou Yi will not be happy.
He turned his head to look at Mark, but saw Mark give him a secret thumbs up.
well.
Zhou Yi sighed in his heart.
Mark is such a good person, I hope the good people will be rewarded...
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard head coach Ecker read: "Mark Wagner."
Mark was obviously startled, and he reflexively said, "Ah?" and didn't understand why the head coach suddenly called his name. He thought that his little interaction with Zhou Yi was seen by the head coach and wanted to criticize him by name.
But the other teammates reacted differently, and a commotion broke out in the crowd - Mark Wagner, the youth team's ten thousand-year substitute, was actually on the starting lineup!
Although it was just a warm-up match, it was still shocking enough for those who knew Mark.
However, Zhou Yi was very happy. It was really a good person who would be rewarded!
He also turned around and gave Mark a thumbs up, and at the same time used his mouth to remind Mark who was still stunned: You are starting!
Mark finally reacted and he shouted excitedly: "Ye!"
This caused laughter from teammates.
"Okay, OK." Ecker pressed his palm down, "It's just a warm-up match, don't be so excited."
The teammates laughed louder.
Mark calmed down and scratched his head embarrassedly, but his inner excitement was still reflected on his face and could not be suppressed.

After finishing training, Mark couldn't wait to announce to his father that he would start in tomorrow's game.
Old Wagner was also very happy: "Is that so good?! That's great, we'll all see your game tomorrow, Mark!"
"Hehe!" Mark scratched his head and smirked.
When he got home, Old Wagner yelled loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Wife! Wife! Our Mark starts!"
Mrs. Wagner, who was busy in the kitchen, heard this, rushed out of the kitchen like a whirlwind, and then hugged Mark: "Oh! My good son! I know! I know you can do it!"
The three of them hugged each other in front of Zhou Yi and celebrated.
It's just a starter in a friendly match...
Looking at this scene, Zhou Yi couldn't help but think, if their son wins the starter in the Bundesliga in the future, how should they celebrate?
Have a grand carnival party?
Mrs. Wagra, who was celebrating, then found that Zhou Yi was watching, and remembered that there was Zhou Yi, so she asked Mark: "Is it just you the starter?"
Mark naturally understood what his mother was asking and replied: "Of course Zhou Yi also started!"
Mrs. Wagner cheered and rushed to Zhou Yi: "This is a day worth celebrating!"
So Zhou Yi was also involved in the celebration of this family...

During the special training in the evening, Mark suddenly asked Zhou Yi nervously: "Do we want to do targeted special training?"
Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "How do you plan to do targeted special training in the game? There is no Düsseldorf U17 in this game at all, okay?"
"Uh...whether the Dusseldorf first team?" Mark didn't give up.
"There is no, they are not even in the second division."
Mark sighed.
Zhou Yi was surprised: "There is nothing to care about, right? Mark? This is just a warm-up match, and the opponent is very weak."
"You are right, Zhou Yi. If it were the past, I wouldn't take this game to heart. Anyway, it's difficult for me to play in the official game, so it doesn't matter if the warm-up game is concerned. The coach asked me to play on the court, just to let the main players rest." Unexpectedly, Mark rarely said seriously. "I know my positioning, I have no hope for my future... To be honest, I didn't report any hope. My sister said that I'm not suitable to play football, and I'm not convinced, but sometimes, I have to admit in my heart that maybe she's right."
Seeing that Mark actually said this, Zhou Yi wanted to comfort him and say something like "You have your advantages too."
But before he could speak, he heard Mark continue, "But this time it's different. I don't know why the head coach put me on the starting lineup. In the past, even in the warm-up match, I was a substitute. But I think this should be my chance. I want to seize this opportunity, I want to win the real starting lineup. Zhou Yi, I too..."
Speaking of this, Mark paused, and seemed to have a lot of courage and said, "I want to go to the first team too!"
Zhou Yi looked at Mark, who was so serious that he felt sweaty on his forehead, as if he remembered his teammates he met on the reality show. Where are they now? Are they still working hard for their dreams?
"mark."
"ah?"
"You can definitely go to the first team!" Zhou Yi said. "What do you think of a hat trick tomorrow?"
The first half made Mark happy, but the second half was surprised: "Hat, hat trick? Can I?"
"Have you forgotten our 'special training'? What is 'special training' used for? Is it just used to pretend to be cool? If it is useless, what is 'special training'?" Zhou Yi felt that Mark was good at everything, but he was a little lacking in confidence. Of course, this is understandable. It is probably strange that a person who has been a substitute in the team for so many years must have sufficient confidence in himself?
After all, there are not many people like Sakuragi Hanamichi.
When he heard Zhou Yi mention "special training", Mark indeed felt confident.
Yes, special training!
I have made progress, too!

In the world of FIFAOL3 at night, Zhou Yi discovered that he had another opponent who could compete, which happened to be the Düsseldorf U17 Youth Team.
Teams that cannot be found in live football, and the blessings that perfectly reflect reality by this system, Zhou Yi can finally fight with this team in advance and touch their bottom.
To be honest, although Zhou Yi comforted Mark that Dusseldorf was a very weak team, he actually didn't know whether this team was weak or not.
So as soon as Zhou Yi entered the system, he couldn't wait to have a game with the U17 youth team in Düsseldorf.
He used the starting lineup announced by head coach Ecker today to deal with the team, and finally beat the opponent 8:0.
The opponent's strength is indeed much worse than that of Dortmund's youth team.
Zhou Yi himself completed four assists and one goal in the game. In the post-match rating, his score was second only to Mark Wagner, who scored a hat-trick. He did what he said, even if he was in a virtual world, he had to let the opponent complete a hat-trick.
That night, Zhou Yi and the U17 Youth Team of Dusseldorf played eight games, and he studied everyone on the other side.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to a team with such weak strength is that Zhou Yi doesn't want to have anything to do, he wants to ensure that everything is foolproof.
As Mark said, this game was an opportunity. Although he didn't know the real purpose of the coaching staff to arrange for him to start in this warm-up match, he could feel that it was impossible to let him play for no reason. If he performed well, the coaching staff would definitely have no reason not to let him continue to play.
Zhou Yi does not plan to stay in U17 for too long, so he must seize every chance of the game.
Klopp promised to let him play in the first team, but whether he can do so depends on whether he is competing or not.

The next day, because it was a match day and home game, the team did not arrange any training. Players could go to Brakel training base two hours before the game. The youth team's games are usually arranged in the training bases of their respective clubs, and tickets are not sold to the public, nor are they only broadcast live.
Mark was still a little nervous, but Zhou Yi became much calmer.
Mark was wondering why Zhou Yi was so calm.
Zhou Yi's words left Mark speechless.
"I have played with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Arsenal... The youth teams of those giant teams have played. What else is there to be nervous about playing against the Dusseldorf youth team?"
Mark had nothing to say.
Judging from the experience of the game, Zhou Yi may not have played as many games as he did, but in terms of the size of his experience, Zhou Yi is definitely better than him, Dortmund's native bun.
At least Mark has never competed with Barcelona and Real Madrid's youth teams.
And he heard from Zhou Yi that when they returned to Barcelona, they defeated Lamacia Youth Team!
That's very remarkable.
Any young player who plays football knows the strength of the Lamacia youth team very well.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi is indeed qualified to be not nervous.
But Zhou Yi is not nervous, which does not mean that Mark can be nervous.
He will still be nervous.
Seeing that he was so nervous that he was a little absent-minded, Zhou Yi had to comfort him: "Don't worry, Mark. You will definitely complete a hat trick in this game today. Because I dreamed that you won three yuan alone when I was sleeping."
"Is your Meng Ling, Zhou Yi?" Mark was still worried.
"It can be called a 'God' prophecy'!" Zhou Yi praised himself.
"Okay, I believe you..."
In fact, Zhou Yi can tell Mark directly about Dusseldorf's weaknesses, but then he can't explain why he knows such a team he has never seen before?
The excuses such as "senior fans" and "familiar FM players" can be used once or twice, but they cannot be used every time.
