Although Mark's unexpected defeat in the lineup surprised Zhou Yi and puzzled him, Zhou Yi was still very clear that this emotion could not affect his performance on the court.

After all, he also needs to use the game to win more attention. The u19 game is the ticket to the first team.

If you don’t perform well in u19, then what else can you talk about first-team?

So when the game started, Zhou Yi focused his attention on the game.

Essen u19 is indeed not a very strong opponent. Even without Zhou Yi, Dortmund's youth team can defeat his opponent.

But with the Zhou Yi, they may win more easily.

From the beginning of the game, after standing in the middle of the midfield, he frequently received passes from his teammates, and then he would divide the football.

After a week of training and team competitions, the teammates all saw Zhou Yi's ability. Although they couldn't explain why, Zhou Yi could quickly find the gap in the game and pass the football to the right person.

Yebala asked Zhou Yi to be the team's midfield hub, and no one in the team opposed this.

The same is true for Gotze, who was originally a midfielder.

After all, if you want to recognize Zhou Yi's abilities, Gece was the earliest person.

The arrival of Zhou Yi also changed Gece's position on the field.

He was originally a person in the middle, but now after he had Zhou Yi, he was put on the side by head coach Yebala.

Although Gotze's speed is not fast, his dribbling ability is excellent, so when he goes to the wing, he can fully utilize his advantages in this regard. After reducing the requirements for him to organize offense, he can free up his ability in breakthroughs and scoring.

Gotze doesn't have to play multiple jobs on the court, which is also a good thing for the Dortmund youth team.

Before this, the Dortmund youth team without Zhou Yi always used Gotze as an all-round player. They asked him to organize the offense in the middle, and asked him to break through on the wing, and finally scored in the goal.

Goze's ability is indeed outstanding among youth team players, but even if it is outstanding, if one person is used as three people, it will inevitably weaken Goze's performance on the court.

Now that Zhou Yi is here, he first seems to have snatched Goce's position in the middle, but in fact he liberated Goce.

So Gotze himself is willing to hand over the organizational rights and someone specializes in doing this job, which can make him closer to the opponent's goal, and he can't ask for it!

As the highest-level player in the youth team, Goce also consciously cooperated with Zhou Yi because he found that Zhou Yi was the teammate who could best understand his intentions.

Although I don’t understand why this is, I can cooperate with Zhou Yi. It will indeed make Goce feel like they have worked together for many years.

Zhou Yi seemed to know him very well, and he never felt this feeling when Gotze was in u19.

Although he is a player of U19, he is actually only more than two months earlier than Zhou Yi.

He used to play for u17 for a long time, and was then transferred from u17 to the first team. He stayed in the first team for a while, but was transferred to u19 because he couldn't play in the game.

If you want to talk about the level of tacit understanding, his cooperation with these u19 players is definitely not as tacit understanding as with u17.

Many times, on the court, Gotze relies on his super personal abilities to drive other teammates. Fortunately, his teammates are very strong and can keep up with his pace, so that he will not fight alone. Then he can't lead him.

This situation will inevitably improve gradually as Goze and other U19 players increase in tacit understanding. But the time is hard to explain, and it will definitely not be too short.

But Gotze didn't want to stay in u19 for too long.

He still wants to return to the first team as soon as possible and play the game in the first team.

How could a person who has seen the most beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain still be willing to stay at the foot of the mountain to waste his time?

That's what Gotze thinks now.

He came to U19 to show better performance and impressed the first team coach Klopp again and allowed himself to play in the first team.

It was also for this reason that he tried hard to show himself.

But in fact, this approach is not a long-term approach. If he plays like this for a longer time, he will sooner or later collapse because his body can't bear it.

He has been in U19 for more than two months and has scored eight goals and four assists, so his performance is not bad.

But he is a player under the age of seventeen after all. In the game of u19, he can't go far by relying on his personal ability.

He needs help, too.

Now Zhou Yi is here.

He can finally take off part of the burden, which is a good thing for him.

Moreover, the ability that Zhou Yi showed during training also made Gece more willing to seek cooperation with Zhou Yi.

At the same time, for Zhou Yi, cooperation with Goce also relieved the defensive pressure he faced. He didn't have to always control the football at his feet and fell into a dilemma of fighting with the opponent. In the area with the tightest defense, he could pass the football to Goce, so that Goce could attract the opponent's defensive attention, and then receive Goce's pass and quickly pass the football into the air.

In this way, the chance of situations that were annoying to Peter Lack in the Ruhr derby in u17 was greatly reduced.

Gotze frequently passes the ball to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi also frequently passed the ball to Goce.

Although their first meeting at U19 was a bit of gunpowder, it did not affect their relationship on the court.

In Zhou Yi's first u19 game, the youth training director Las Ricken, who watched the game on the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh: "Their performance and feeling are beyond the rest of the teammates. I'm not surprised that Gotze has such a performance, but I'm really surprised that Zhou Yi can also have such performance in u19..."

Yebala said: "In terms of football awareness, Zhou Yi's level is very high, and now it is only physical conditions that restrict him."

Ricken nodded and imagined in his heart what Zhou Yi would look like if he met the standard physical condition... He felt that he could go directly to the first team.

So he asked, "How is Zhou Yi's strength training going on?"

"Wonle said he worked very hard. Fortunately, this kid is in the developmental stage. His body changes a lot. As long as strength training is correct and scientific, it will have a good effect. Unfortunately, it is precisely because he is in a period of rapid physical development that he should be especially careful of his injury. Once injured at this time, it is easy to cause frequent injuries and affect his entire career." Yebala said.

Ricken touched his chin: "But with Zhou Yi's position and role, he may be bound to be the opponent's focus during the game. The chance of injury is higher than that of ordinary players..."

"So you have to protect him. In addition, Zhou Yi himself is also very smart. You see, he will not let the football stay under his feet for too long during the game." Yebala pointed at Zhou Yi and said.

Zhou Yi just passed the football away before an Essen u19 player rushed up. He was not trapped in a circle and controlled the football not to pass it out. In that way, he would only attract a few opponents to siege, and it is hard to say what would happen in the chaos.

In fact, it is not just this time, nor is it just this game. Zhou Yi rarely sticks football to his feet in other games. Although his ball-control skills are not bad. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pass the opportunity from the auditions that so many people across the country to break through the siege. At that time, the auditions were all about the most basic abilities of football, such as passing, shooting and ball-controlling.

The fact that Zhou Yi was able to win showed that his ability in this regard was not bad.

But Zhou Yi himself is not the kind of player who likes to keep the football under his feet, and then passes several people in a row, either hits the football into the goal or is cut off by the opponent.

It's not the case when the forward is on the front. It's even worse after changing to play in the midfield.

He obviously knew very well that as a midfield organizer, it was not a good thing to keep football under his feet.

Zhou Yi's academic performance is average, but it does not mean that he is not smart. He is still willing to use his brain when it comes to football.

※ ※ ※

Gece's personal strength is strong enough, and now he has added Zhou Yi.

The tacit cooperation between the two in the midfield and frontcourt allowed Dortmund to completely suppress Essen u19.

At the end of the first half, Dortmund led the opponent 2-0 at home.

However, Schneider didn't score, Gotze scored a goal, which was assisted by Zhou Yi.

The other ball was made by Daniel Jinchek.

It’s not that Zhou Yi deliberately refused to pass the ball to Schneider. If Schneider had a good chance, Zhou Yi would indeed pass the football over, but Schneider himself was not good enough and he would not blame others if he didn’t score.

Schneider is tall and big, with a height of 1.9 meters and a header, but his offensive methods are too single. Except for headers, he is not very capable in other aspects.

Zhou Yi himself is not good at crossing, so he will not pull to the side to send a crossing ball to Schneider. Basically, what he gives him is a straight or crossing ball. When facing such a pass, Schneider is not easy to deal with.

Of course, maybe Schneider would think that Zhou Yi was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he might not say it?

After all, he and Zhou Yi have a very good relationship...

But he thought too much about implementing it.

His ability to enter u19 is not really because of his outstanding strength, but because one of the original main strikers of u19, Marco Stipperman, missed the entire season with serious injury, so he was drawn from u17.

However, Schneider is a person who is used to feeling good about himself, so he thinks that he is outstanding in strength and is favored by coach u19...

※ ※ ※

After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, Dortmund u19 still took the initiative on the court.

They scored two more goals, and Schneider finally scored one goal, and scored with the advantage of heading in the corner.

Mark's eyes dimmed when he saw Schneider score.

In the 69th minute of the game, Zhou Yi was replaced by Yebala.

Although Zhou Yi's physical fitness has improved significantly, there is no need to let him insist on playing the full court for such an unimportant game. On the other hand, Yebala is also worried that there will be a risk of injury when he continues to stay on the court.

In fact, this is also the positioning of Zhou Yi by Yebala.

If it wasn't for a very difficult game, he wouldn't have planned to let Zhou Yi play the whole game. Although his physical fitness is better than before, he has to complete the 90-minute game without any difficulties, and it is still a bit difficult now.

Yebala did not force Zhou Yi to play for 90 minutes, and there was nothing wrong with replacing him in advance.

When Zhou Yi was over, some of the Dortmund fans on the sidelines applauded.

As his debut in u19, Zhou Yi performed well. Although the assist procedures were not as dazzling as those in u17, with only one assist, he almost participated in all four goals.

His ability to dispatch and organize in the midfield can be seen by fans.

After having him, Gotze was also freed and could focus on attacking more, so Gotze scored two goals in this game.

This thin No. 23 player is a strange face to U19, but he is not at all nervous.
