When he ran to the court, Mark felt a little unreal. But thanks to Zhou Yi's slap, he woke him up.

Now he is standing on the court and is very clear-headed.

Although Schalke 04 was playing against Dortmund during this period, he didn't seem to have any chance to perform. But this does not mean that he was just making up the numbers when he was on the court and had no effect.

In fact, Mark has been observing and thinking about how to help the team after he came on the court.

Assistant coach Buvac said a lot to himself, but in fact, it is just a summary: "We must maintain contact with the midfield and backcourt, actively run, be willing to sacrifice, and make room for others."

He also said how to do it.

But Mark had his own ideas.

This feeling may not be strong when off the court, but when he appears on the court, it becomes stronger and stronger, as if it is about to gush out of his body, and it cannot be blocked.

That was a very familiar feeling.

He seemed to know what to do when he came on the court, but he didn't need the assistant coach to tell him so much.

Because there are Zhou Yi and Goce on this court now, and I have played with them. Although I did not cooperate with each other later, Zhou Yi and Goce went to the first team, but the tacit understanding did not disappear, but settled into my heart.

Now, when I stepped onto the court again and fought side by side with Zhou Yi and Gece, the tacit understanding between my comrades emerged again.

He knows how to complete the tasks given to him by the assistant coach, but in his own way.

※※※

Before Mark came on the court, Schalke 04's offensive was always very fierce, almost forming a siege.

Not only did he bombard the penalty area around Dortmund, but he also put a tight defense against all Dortmund players who took the ball in the midfield.

Zhou Yi is the top priority of their defense.

Because Zhou Yi is Dortmund's offensive core, his choice when he takes the ball determines Dortmund's offensive direction and quality.

As long as Zhou Yi can be curbed, Dortmund's offense can be paralyzed in half.

Moreover, in Dortmund, there is only Zhou Yi as the core, unlike last season, which is a dual-core. Zhou Yi was stared at and there is also Shahin.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was suppressed behind and it was difficult to move forward. Most of the time, he could only rely on long passes to transfer the football to the frontcourt. However, long passes were not a regular way to organize offenses, and the success rate was not as high as short passes.

Later, after Barrios was injured, it became even worse because Dortmund's offense lacked a bridgehead in the front. After a long pass, it was basically a one-time deal. It would be great if it could be successful, but most of them were difficult to succeed. Dortmund players who took the ball in the opponent's two players, the attack ended here.

Therefore, Zhou Yi can only pass back or cross over. In addition to controlling the ball and trying not to give Schalke 04 the chance to seize the opportunity of Dortmund one less person, some of it is because of helplessness - if the success rate is too low, it is nothing more than handing the football to the opponent.

Seeing Mark prepare to appear on the sidelines, Zhou Yi realized that this was a good opportunity to break Schalke 04 blockade.

It's just that Schalke 04 doesn't seem to realize this. So they don't have a strict defense against Mark.

Zhou Yi has not communicated with Mark yet, and he doesn't know if Mark has seen it, but he believes in the tacit understanding between him and Mark. Their tacit understanding is not just as simple as playing football together in the youth team. In life, they once lived under the same roof, trained together, lived together, and entertainment together.

The tacit understanding cultivated in this way is better than that cultivated in the training field.

While Schalke continued to siege Dortmund's goal in 04, Zhou Yi turned his head and looked forward.

He found that Mark was the center but did not reach the front.

Instead, he retreated.

Zhou Yi smiled. As expected, although Mark and himself haven't played together for a long time, the tacit understanding is still there!

So when Schalke 04's attack was stopped by Hummels and passed the football to Zhou Yi, he turned around and passed the football forward to Mark without any hesitation.

Then he did not stop at the same place, but ran forward in a diagonal line.

When Mark received the ball, there was no Schalke 04 player beside him, because no one could have thought that Mark, as the center, did not hit the front, but retreated to the area where Shinji Kagawa was supposed to be. Shinji Kagawa had already gone to the wing at this time, and now it looked like Mark was a front midfielder!

"Mark Wagner! He received the ball! This is his first touch since he came on the court," Marcel Leif said.

※※※

Mark suddenly appeared in this position and received the ball, which was greatly beyond the expectations of Schalke 04 players. However, they quickly responded and someone rushed towards him.

"Hervedes!"

Schalke 04's defender Hervedes rushed to Mark.

Klopp stared at Mark nervously. He now wanted to possess Mark and help him deal with this situation - kick the football back to Zhou Yi!

Never stick to the ball, don’t be unaware of what to do, otherwise you will be done!

In everyone's opinion, Dortmund's weakness is this rookie who has just started playing but hasn't even figured out the situation!

No one thought about why Mark was so retracing so deeply to catch the ball. They only thought it was a coincidence. He just happened to run to this position.

Schalke 04 fans couldn't wait to cheer, preparing to witness the scene of the rookie being killed by Hervedes from behind.

By intercepting the ball here, Schalke 04 can make a very threatening attack, because now is a critical moment when Dortmund turns from defense to offense. At this time, Dortmund cannot react to the goal being lost. Just like the ball that Schalke 04 lost in the first half, it was also when the offense and defense were not focused, Dortmund stolen a ball by Dortmund due to lack of concentration.

Now, we have to fight tooth for tooth!

Mark, who was watching everyone, did not show any confusion. After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed the football again!

Instead of choosing what Klopp thinks is the safest approach, passing the ball back to Zhou Yi, he passed it forward!

Then who did he pass it on to?

"Getze!"

Marcel Leif shouted.

The cheering Schalke 04 fans in the stands also instantly turned the cheers into...sudden exclamations!

It's now the Dortmund fans in the live and in front of the TV.

Because Gotze did not appear on the wing when he received the ball, but appeared in the middle, at the top of the free throw arc in the middle of the penalty area!

He received the ball from a center position!

It turned out that when everyone was focusing on Mark, Gotze suddenly cut inside from the side and ran into the space left after Hevedes pounced on him!

The universe in a position is shifting!

※※※

Gotze, who received the ball at the top of the free throw arc, turned around and then took a shot!

"Getze--" Marcel Lef yelled in a long voice.

Neuer made a save and rushed to the football.

But the football drew a very obvious arc in the air and bypassed him far away.

The football was about to fly into the goal, but at the last moment, he flew out of the bottom line with the goal post!

"Oh!" Duan Xin made this regretful shout.

Gotze was also very sorry. He held his head in his hands and knelt on the ground, unable to believe his eyes.

Such a good opportunity, I didn't score!

"Geze missed the opportunity to be a hero! If he can score a goal, he will overtake the score! But now both sides are still tied! Schalke 04 escaped! In the derby, missing such an opportunity is really too affecting morale! Maybe this ball will become the turning point in this game?"

※※※

"Ahhhhhhh!" In front of the coach's seat, assistant coach Buvac shouted regretfully.

Although Klopp next to him did not scream with his head, he was even more excited - he picked up the plastic water bottle on the ground and then slapped it back hard.

With a bang, the bottle body deformed, the lid flew out, and the water inside splashed out, spraying out.

※※※

Gotze was naturally very upset when he missed the opportunity. This can be seen from the fact that he knelt on the ground after shooting the door and hugged his head with both hands.

But when he got up from the ground, he turned around and saw Mark giving him a thumbs up: "Beautiful job, Mario! It's only a little bit away from scoring the goal!"

Zhou Yi ran up and said to Mark: "Mark, you are lying with your eyes open. Where is this ball beautiful? If it is so beautiful, you will go in! I will come next time!"

Looking at standing together, one encourages himself and the other ridicules himself, Gotze suddenly had an illusion, as if he had returned to the u19 youth team. He and the two people in front of him were golden partners who cooperated with each other. In order to achieve a tacit understanding that was far beyond ordinary people, they would always practice in the team's training class.

In the end, the three of them helped the team win all the championships that the youth team at that level could win.

At that time, it seemed that no one could stop the quick transfer and cutting cooperation of the three of them.

Later, he and Zhou Yi were transferred to the first team, while Mark stayed in the youth team, the trident was broken up, and the cooperation of fast passes and cuts was never played.

But just now, starting from Mark's voluntary retreat, the three of them naturally had a chemical reaction, which pushed them to make such a beautiful offensive cooperation.

The tacit understanding developed from training together did not disappear, but became an instinct deep in my heart.

And this instinct was reactivated with Mark's appearance.

This made Goze not so upset about the opportunity he missed before, but instead was full of confidence in the next game.

No goal was scored this time, but as long as the three of us were together, we would definitely score!

So he counterattacked Zhou Yi and said, "When you run up slowly, the opportunity has long been gone. You should just pass the ball from behind honestly!"

"Hey!" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes, "Do you need me to feed you cakes?"

"Feed the cake?" Gotze was a little confused.

"I pass the ball to you, and you score the goal, isn't it like I've prepared the cake and fed it to your mouth, you just need to stutter the cake?" Zhou Yi shrugged.

It seems that all the credit for scoring the goal is Zhou Yi, and even if Goce scores the goal, he has no technical content and is not worth mentioning.

The goal scorer is the most glorious, but now Zhou Yi is the most important.

Gotze was too lazy to deal with someone like Zhou Yi, so he turned around and hugged Mark's shoulder: "It was Mark who passed the ball to me just now, thank you."

Mark quickly mediated: "Okay, okay, everyone is great. Without anyone, I can't fight this time..."
