In the just-concluded U19 Ruhr derby, Dortmund's youth training manager Las Ricken had something to do and did not follow the team to go away. So the next day of the game, he came to U19 to find Yebala to find the latest news.

When he pushed open the door of Yebala's office, he saw Yebala staring at the computer screen intently.

He walked around behind Yebala and found Yebala watching the game video.

"Yesterday's game?" he asked.

"Yebala nodded.

"It just so happened. I haven't seen it yet." Riken pulled a chair and sat next to him and looked with Yebala.

This is a collection of highlights, or it is not a complete video of the game, it is just a part of the last half hour of the game.

It started after Mark came on the field.

When Mark scored his first goal, Ricken asked Yebala: "This is that... Mark, right?"

Yebala nodded.

Soon Mark scored the second goal with Zhou Yi's assist.

"Oh! It's amazing! With the close pressing of two defenders, you can still send the football into the opponent's goal!" Li Ken couldn't help but whistle and praised.

Yebala didn't speak.

Later, Mark assisted Zhou Yi to score the winning goal. This time, Ricken simply slapped: "It's like there's eyes on the back of the head! Beautiful!"

Later, Zhou Yi was replaced, Mark continued to stay on the court, and cooperated with Goze many times. Unfortunately, he was unable to score another goal and completely secure the victory.

But this is enough to make Dortmund U19 defeat Schalke 04.

After watching the game video, Yebala asked Ricken: "Las, what do you think?"

"I didn't see the previous game, but only from the game I watched... I think that Mark is interesting. Not only can he score goals, but he can also assist his teammates. At the same time, his cooperation with Gotze also looks good, and they both seem to be calling."

Ricken expressed his feelings.

Yebala nodded: "I think so too, so I watched the game video again. In fact, before Mark Wagner came on the court, the game format was completely different and it was not good for us. It was difficult for us to get a good opportunity in the frontcourt. But after he came on the court, the situation reversed. We scored three goals. But that was not the most important thing. What's important is... After he came on the court, our frontcourt offense was completely alive."

Yebala pointed at the figure of Mark that was frozen in the screen.

"He and Zhou Yi have a very good understanding." Ricken was not surprised at all about the cooperation between Mark and Zhou Yi. "What surprised me was that his cooperation with Goze was also good..."

"It's not surprising, Rass. Our forwards, whether they are injured Stipperman, or the current Jinchek and Schneider, are tall centers with a little lack of skills and not flexible enough, and their sense of tactical cooperation is not particularly strong. It is really difficult for them to spark any sparks between them and Goze. However, this Mark Wagner has skills under his feet, is willing to run, is flexible, and has ideas... so he can cooperate with Goze."

"Look at me, he said he was good. Otherwise, why did I adjust him from U17?" Ricken began to brag about his own eyes.

Yebala glanced at him: "But when he first arrived at my team, it was not like this. He could only cooperate with Zhou Yi and could not integrate into the team at all."

Ricken didn't say anything anymore.

"I drove him into the cold palace, but I didn't expect that this kid didn't give up, but became more and more courageous. I originally wanted to give him a reward for training so hard. I didn't expect that he seized the opportunity and convinced me. Russ, I planned to change our offensive tactics and build the U19 trident."

Ricken was surprised to hear Yebala say this: "Trident?"

"Yes." Yebala nodded. "Yesterday's game gave me a lot of inspiration. Gotze, Zhou Yi and Mark, these three people are not tall, but they are all very flexible. I plan to form an offensive combination of these three flexible little men to make full use of their characteristics and tacit understanding."

Ricken recalled the fourth ball of Dortmund's U19 that he had just seen. Gotze dribbled the ball and cut inside. After being intercepted, he passed the ball to Mark who was responding to him in the middle. Mark took the ball to attract the opponent's defense, and knocked the ball to Zhou Yi who was in front of the ball, allowing Zhou Yi to shoot without anyone to defend...

From this ball, you may see the prospects after this set of tridents are formed.

"I support you, Peter. Let it go!"

The next day, the players who participated in the game also returned to the team, and the entire U19 team started normal training.

Although Zhou Yi was screaming repeatedly by Leng Shuibing, it has to be said that Sister Mark's method was indeed effective. After a day, the few places where he was kicked in the game were not as painful as before, and the areas with bruises disappeared a lot.

When participating in training, my performance was also better.

It seems like this is a normal day of training until before the offensive training...

Before the offensive training began, head coach Peter Yebala smiled at all the players involved in the training and said, "Let's make a little game, kids."

When they hear about playing games, everyone's interest comes, which often means interesting training content. Especially their head coach still says with a smile.

"A game of offense and defense, we have six defensive players, and your task is to defend three offensive players."

After saying that, Yebala called Zhou Yi, Gotze and Mark out.

"And you." He said to three players who hadn't figured out what was going on, "The task is to shoot the football into the goal within two minutes. If there is no goal, you will lose. If there is no shot, you will lose. If you are interrupted by the opponent during the attack, you will lose. If the football goes out of the sideline and bottom line in the attack, you will lose. If the attacking side is offside, you will also lose. Let's go to seven games and count the scores in the end. The losing side must carry an opponent's player and make a round-trip 25-meter back run."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the rules of the game.

They have done offensive and defensive training, but they are usually ten-on-eight offensive and defensive training, such as ten offensive and eight defenders. This is done to practice defense. When practicing offense, there are eight offensive and ten defenders.

The difference in numbers is two goals.

But now there are more offensive and defensive exercises than attacking and defensive ones... They really haven't done it.

This is really unfair to the attacking side.

Many people think that the attacking side will definitely lose.

Schneider was also shocked - this is training? Isn't this really a difficult thing?

He suddenly felt a little grateful that he was not selected by the head coach...

Zhou Yi and the other two were also surprised, and they turned their doubtful eyes to the head coach.

Yebala smiled and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "Although it's a game, don't give in easily."

He did not explain why he did this, nor did he ask Zhou Yi, Gotze and Mark what they should do. After saying that, he quit the training area.

"Everyone is here and prepare to start training!" he shouted, holding the whistle in his mouth.

The other offensive players looked at each other and retreated one after another, standing on the sidelines. The only offensive players wearing red vests on the court were Gotze, Zhou Yi and Mark. In front of them were six defensive players in blue vests except the goalkeeper, four defenders and two midfielders.

The offensive trio looked at each other, and then Zhou Yi raised his hand and asked the head coach: "Coach, can you shoot from a long time?"

"Yes. But all three of you must have contacted football before shooting, otherwise the goal will be invalid." Yebala took off the whistle and answered Zhou Yi's question. "Can you start?"

"Wait a minute, let's discuss the strategy!" Zhou Yi waved his hand and then recruited the three of them to his side.

Three people stood in the middle circle, discussing in a low voice.

"Do you have any ideas, Zhou Yi?" asked Mark.

"Since we can shoot from a long time, then three of us will pass the football to Mario after touching the ball, so that Gotze will complete the long time shot. In this way, we don't have to get involved with defensive players with obvious advantage in numbers." Zhou Yi naturally had a countermeasure.

"Good idea." Mark obeyed Zhou Yi's words.

Although Goce felt that Zhou Yi's approach took advantage of the rules, it was also a solution. Who made the opponent's defensive players twice their number? So he nodded in agreement.

"Then let's make it. After a while, Mark gives me the football. I'm giving the football to Mario, and then Mario, you come and shoot."

After discussing, Zhou Yi shouted to Yebala on the sidelines: "It's time to start!"

The three of them stood in the middle circle.

Seeing that everyone was in place, Yebala blew the whistle in his mouth.

Hearing the whistle, Mako kicked the football to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi turned around and passed the football to Goze, who had already run up.

After receiving the ball, Goze made a slight adjustment and took a long shot about 37 or 8 meters away from the goal!

Seeing Goze shooting from such a distance, Yebala sneered.

The goalkeeper standing in front of the goal didn't even make a save, turned around and watched the football fly out of the bottom line...

Just as the football flew out of the baseline, Yebala blew a whistle: "Attack the side, lose one point!" He raised a finger and said loudly.

Zhou Yi turned his head blankly at the head coach, and then realized that they had lost the first of the ten rounds...

He reacted and shouted at Gotze: "Damn, Mario, aren't you shooting very accurately?"

Gotze was determined not to take the blame: "You shot me in the goal at 40 meters away?"

Zhou Yi was speechless, so he raised his hand: "Okay, let's push forward a little more..."

The audience off the court realized that Zhou Yi and the others planned to use long shots to avoid the defensive players and directly send the football into the goal, but it was too whimsical to want to step into the hole at such a distance.

So they all burst into laughter and felt anxious for the offensive trio's IQ.

Yebala whistled and the training started again.

This time, Zhou Yi and Gece ran forward a little longer before passing the football.

After Gotze catches the ball, he adjusts and then takes a long shot before the defender arrives.

But this time the football is still above the crossbar...

"Attack the side, lose two points!"

"It's still too far!" Gotze complained.

The audience laughed again when they saw this scene, and they were all gloating - fortunately, it was not us who attacked from above...

※※※

In the third game, Zhou Yi and Gece ran a distance forward before passing the football over.

The distance this time is much closer than the previous two times, but Gotze just received the ball and was surrounded by three opponents' defensive players. If he accidentally lost the ball...
