Not long after Mark scored a hat trick, he was replaced by Hank by Ecker.

In this game, he started and completed a hat-trick. Mark's performance was unexpected to many people.

Head coach Ecker gave Mark a hug and patted him on the head intimately.

The Wagners rushed to the edge of the stands and shouted to the court: "Mark! Good! Mark! You are so awesome! We are all proud of you!"

Mark, who heard his parents' shouts, looked up and found them, and also saw his sister beside his parents. He waved happily to them and raised three fingers.

"Sister! Have you seen it! Three balls! Hat trick! Mine! My hat trick!"

He shouted to his sister proudly and proudly.

Seeing his younger brother so excited, Cortana could only smile.

Then she moved her eyes away from her younger brother and turned to Zhou Yi on the court.

Who caused all this?

Of course it is the person in my eyes.

He gave Mark three assists in the game, helping Mark score three goals.

Who made my younger brother so confident?

That is Zhou Yi.

Since this person moved into his home, he has been influencing his younger brother all the time, from all aspects.

My younger brother was simply obedient to his words.

This is how we are today.

but……

Cortana thought of the smile on her younger brother's face again, and felt that she would not be bothering Zhou Yi this time.

In fact, before Mark was replaced, the Dortmund youth team began to make large-scale substitutions.

After Mark was replaced, the substitution continued.

Because it is a warm-up match, there is no limit on the number of substitutions.

At the 65 minutes of the game, Dortmund youth team even replaced the goalkeeper.

But Zhou Yi is still on the court.

This game was originally intended to test whether Zhou Yi's physical fitness could adapt to the game, so it was naturally impossible to replace him early.

It can still be seen that as time goes by, Zhou Yi's control over the midfield has declined.

This decline is caused by his physical decline.

Zhou Yi’s playing style relies very much on physical strength, so physical strength is his foundation.

Ecker looked at his watch and the 73rd minute of the game.

Think about it, Zhou Yi contributed six assists in these 73 minutes, and there were two other goals, although he did not directly assist, but he also instigated them.

Although it only takes seventy-three minutes of game time, this efficiency may be far better than that of an average player who plays for 90 minutes.

Thinking of this, Ecker decided to replace Zhou Yi.

Considering the actual situation before Zhou Yi, it is already very good to be able to play for more than 70 minutes in the starting lineup.

The results obtained in this test were very satisfied with Ecker. He believed that Zhou Yi had met the conditions for playing games. There are still several warm-up matches in the future, and Zhou Yi will continue to be trained and tested.

I believe that if this continues, it will not be too far away from Zhou Yi playing the whole game.

At the same time, the team's tactics also need to make some adjustments to Zhou Yi's characteristics. Today, Zhou Yi was completely allowed to lead the game. Other players still lacked the active cooperation with Zhou Yi. Only Mark did the best in this regard, so he also scored three goals.

This point should be emphasized in the following daily training.

This will allow Zhou Yi to run less distance, give him more rest opportunities, and naturally extend his game time.

When Zhou Yi was replaced, the Wagners stood up and applauded and cheered him.

Not only them, but other spectators watching the football in the stands stood up and applauded Zhou Yi.

Someone whistled excitedly.

They didn't know Zhou Yi before, they only knew that a Chinese player had come to the youth team, but they had never watched him play games. They didn't know the game he played with the Dortmund youth team before.

Unexpectedly, when I saw it today, I was shocked!

Zhou Yi's performance in the game not only impressed Ecker, but also impressed the audience in the stands.

Anyone who knows a little about penalty kicks can see how good Zhou Yi performed in this game.

When Zhou Yi ended, it is no exaggeration to send such applause.

When this kind of applause sounded, Zhou Yi was very surprised because he had no parents to come to the scene to cheer him on, so he actually didn't expect anyone in the stands to cheer him.

He never asked for a grass, but he didn't expect that when he ended up, he got a forest.

He was a little moved when he realized that he quickly waved to the crowd in the stands.

Zhou Yi waved to them, and their applause became even more intense, and someone gave him a thumbs up.

This is just a warm-up match...

As a fan, he already knows that Dortmund fans are known for their hard-core loyalty and enthusiasm.

Now, although he only played a warm-up match for the Dortmund youth team, he has fully realized what Dortmund fans are!

This passion is as beautiful as a first love.

When Zhou Yi returned to the bench, his teammates slapped him one by one, which was perfect for his debut with the Dortmund youth team.

Although there is no goal, there is nothing to regret in the face of such a performance.

Mark was the most excited. He not only slapped Zhou Yi with his high fives, but also directly pulled Zhou Yi into his arms and gave him a big hug.

In this game, he scored a hat trick, and Zhou Yi performed more outstandingly. Both of them performed well, so he couldn't feel better.

He is also full of confidence and longing for his own future.

After Zhou Yi was over, the warm-up match was actually equivalent to the end.

Both sides had no intention of continuing the game.

In the end, Dortmund youth team defeated the Dusseldorf youth team 8-0, ending their first warm-up match in 2009.

The family added Zhou Yi and sat in the car driven by Old Wagner. Mrs. Wagner excitedly announced that in order to celebrate Zhou Yi and Mark's outstanding performance in the game, she would not eat dinner at home tonight and switch to a restaurant.

After saying that, she also specifically reminded her daughter: "You are not allowed to run away halfway!"

Cortana smiled and looked at Zhou Yi and said, "How could that be, Mom? Who did you think of me? Today is a happy day for my brother, why should I run away?"

"It's good that you know. I was disappointed when you were late today!" Mrs. Wagner snorted.

After spending more than a month with Mark's family, Zhou Yi has adapted to their family atmosphere. To some extent, he even feels intimate.

Because, in addition to being a little more, Mark's mother is really like her mother in terms of strength.

Old Wagner is like his silent version of his father.

In addition, Zhou Yi also discovered that most of the time, if anyone can deal with Cortana, it is probably Mrs. Wagner.

But what happened to this woman when she said this?

Provocation?

Do you think that if you assist her brother in completing a hat trick, will her brother take the path of professional football?

In a fight back, Zhou Yi stared at Cortana's lips intently.

Of course, it is a bit impolite to do this, but Zhou Yi believes that when dealing with Cortana, he will die miserably if he is polite.

※※※

Old Wagner drove his car straight to the restaurant.

Zhou Yi is not unfamiliar with this restaurant, because it is a frequent visit by Mark's family. After staying at Mark's house for more than a month, Zhou Yi followed them three times.

It's considered a designated dining location for Mark's family.

The restaurant is not big, with only five tables inside, but the business is good and the taste is good.

On the way here, Mrs. Wagner booked a seat by phone, otherwise she would not be able to eat when she arrived.

The restaurant owner and Wagner's family have become old acquaintances. When they saw the Wagner's family arrive, they greeted him enthusiastically: "Old Wagner, what's the good thing today? Look at you all so happy!"

Mrs. Wagner was waiting for the boss to ask this question, and she immediately raised her chest and replied proudly and loudly: "My son completed the hat trick today!"

The restaurant owner was startled and then overjoyed: "This is a good thing worth celebrating! I'll give you a bottle of wine!"
