Schalke 04U17 now has a number one name, not only in Schalke 04, but also in the whole of Germany, and is a talented player, and that is Julian Draxler. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The September 1993 player is now only 15 years old, but he is already a pillar of Schalke 04U17, which shows just how good he is.

Generally speaking, in the world of youth football, age is a chasm, otherwise why should there be different age groups?

The reason why this is not done is because the strength of players of different ages varies greatly, and this mainly comes from their bodies. Players who are one or two years older are easier to play a year or two younger than them, and they have an absolute advantage in both strength and speed.

That's why when the media describes how talented a young player is, they mention that he is often called to the Under-19s as a 16-year-old. And those who can play in the professional game of the first team at the age of sixteen or seventeen will basically be defined as "genius".

Draxler is such a genius who has crossed the age limit.

Schalke 04 currently sit first in the Western Conference and are inseparable from Draxler's excellent performance. In the buzzwords of Chinese fans, Draxler is the thigh of Schalke 04U17.

On the other hand, on the Dortmund side, after the departure of Gotze and Schneider, the team lost its core players, its results declined, and its performance was poor. There are no star players in the current lineup, comparable to Draxler.

In terms of strength, Borussia Dortmund U17 are weaker than Schalke 04 U17, but this is their home turf, so it's hard to say.

However, many people felt that it should be a close game. In the end, who wins depends on who plays better and whose luck is better.

When the game started, Schalke 04 did not underestimate the opponent because they were not as good as them.

This is a derby, and it is impossible to underestimate the enemy.

Coupled with Zhou Yi's recent outstanding performance in the warm-up match, it naturally attracted the attention of Schalke 04.

So after the game started, Zhou Yi had already encountered strict marking. Beside him, followed by a Schalke 04 player.

Although Zhou Yi has not yet shown his ability as the new core of Dortmund's U17 in this game, the treatment he enjoys has begun to feel a bit like a core player......

When Ricken saw this scene, he did not frown, worried, but a little happy.

He came to watch the game this time, on the one hand, because of the Ruhr derby, and on the other hand, because he wanted to see Zhou Yi's performance. Zhou Yi's previous series of performances in the warm-up match reached his ears.

But the warm-up game is a warm-up game after all, and Zhou Yi's saying that he is the "king of the warm-up game" is actually a kind of ridicule, not a great achievement.

Ricken wanted to see how Zhou Yi performed in the official competition.

As a player who Klopp personally went to Barcelona to poach, Ricken is also very concerned.

Now in such a situation, it is just the right time to test Zhou Yi's ability.

A player who can only perform well in low-intensity warm-up games and is in a slump once they get to high-intensity competitive games is definitely not what Dortmund need, nor is it what Klopp wants.

Zhou Yi thinks Schalke 04 is quite strange, since he knows that he has to send someone to follow him, why not follow it closely?

When he catches the ball, the person doesn't come up, and he comes up again after he receives the ball...... Do you really think you can't pass the ball?

Zhou Yi felt that maybe the outstanding performance in the warm-up game could not really attract the attention of his opponents, maybe their coach still paid attention to it, but when it came to the players, I was afraid that the implementation would be discounted.

To put it bluntly, he is actually still a nobody in the German youth football circle, and he doesn't really need to think that he has special treatment.

However, Zhou Yi doesn't care if others really treat him as the core, if the other party really despises him, he won't be angry, anyway, it is not himself who suffers in the end, but the person who despises him, so what does he have to be angry about?

He's more concerned now about how he helps the team score goals.

After the start of the game, Schalke 04 put Julian Draxler at the heart of the game, and the football was basically handed over to him, and his individual ability to surpass other Dortmund players also made him a fish in water on the wing.

This is a player who is fast and has excellent ability to change directions, and he has repeatedly caused crises in Dortmund's backline, making Dortmund's defense a lot of trouble.

Zhou Yi can play a small role in defense, and what he can help the team is attack.

Offense is the best defense. If they want to take the pressure off their own defence, they will have to make Schalke 04 realise that their own backline is not impregnable.

※ ※ ※

Schalke 04 player Ori Petrarch, who was assigned to follow Zhou Yi before the game, followed Zhou Yi for almost ten minutes, and he didn't see anything worthy of his team's big fight.

also specifically let himself follow him, what is the result?

He just passes, passes, passes, and a lot of them are horizontal and back.

This kind of passing can be done by a child who plays football, what's so powerful?

The coach also told me that this kid was the heart of Dortmund and yes, it looked like everyone was passing the ball to him, but he didn't turn those passes into chances.

If this is the new core of Dortmund, it would be funny!

Dortmund's youth team without Götze is simply weak.

When Zhou Yi received another pass from his teammates, he quickly passed the football back.

Petrarch grinned - look, so why do you need to put it on in the first place?

※ ※ ※

When Zhou Yi got the ball again, Petrarch went up a little later than usual, but Zhou Yi didn't surprise him and passed the football horizontally.

Petrarch sneered, then leaned behind Zhou Yi and said, "You can only pass back and sideways, right?"

Zhou Yi looked back at him with a confused face, and Petrarch saw Zhou Yi's expression before remembering that the other party was a Chinese and must not understand the German he spoke, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, it's nothing." Just let me talk to myself. It's really ...... that Dortmund has found such a person to be the new core The brain is confused!"

Zhou Yi glanced at him, didn't reply, just ran away.

He ran to the next spot to catch the ball.

This time it was more noticeable when his teammates passed the football, and Petrarch, who was facing him head-on, was slower to post it.

So just as he was about to come up slowly, Zhou Yi suddenly passed the football sideways, and then accelerated around Petrarch's inside.

This time he suddenly stepped forward, which surprised Petrarch a little, and he was stunned for a moment.

And with Zhou Yi's sudden forward, Dortmund's whole team also suddenly accelerated!

Mark, who was still near the halfway line, suddenly ran forward, and of course, he was followed by a Schalke 04 wing-back who would not let him get rid of his own defense easily.

The Dortmund youth team player who received Zhou Yi's pass on the side saw that Zhou Yi had successfully inserted behind Petrarch, so he quickly passed the football over, and at the same time, after passing the ball, he decisively accelerated forward to ensure that Zhou Yi had a passing target if he wanted to pass the ball.

At this time, Petrarch reacted, and he hurriedly turned around and pounced on Zhou Yi.

At the same time, because the place was already close to the 30-metre area of Schalke 04, one of Schalke 04's central defenders, Denis Riepot, came up decisively and planned to fight Petrarch back and forth.

In order to catch the ball, Zhou Yi was half-turned, and he turned his back to the offensive direction.

In everyone's common sense, it is impossible for Zhou Yi to see the situation behind him, as long as he takes the ball slowly, he may be blocked by the opponent, and then Petrarch will make another pinch, and the ball will be broken.

But Yang Muge, who knows Zhou Yi very well, doesn't see it that way. Although I don't know why, Zhou Yi seems to be very clear about the position of everyone on the court.

He didn't think that Riepott's decisive robbery would be unaware.

On the contrary, he felt that this might be Zhou Yi's chance.

And this opportunity stems from Petrarch's lack of tight defense of Zhou Yi...... That stunned god is so deadly!

※ ※ ※

Riepott thought that he would definitely be able to block Zhou Yi's way, but at this time, he found that Zhou Yi, who was facing away from him, suddenly flicked the football inward with the outside of his right foot!

Then he turned, changed direction, and dodged away from him!

He dodged his own frontal block!

And what about Richter himself?

Because of the inertia of the robbery, he couldn't stop the car, and rushed directly to the front.

The only consolation was his teammate, Petrarch followed Zhou Yi's ass and changed direction and rushed to the middle, at least there was someone who could keep the pressure on him.

Just as he changed direction and turned into the middle, Mark, who had been on the wing, suddenly stepped forward from behind the Schalke 04 full-back who had been following him!

The left winger of Schalke 04 was completely attracted by Zhou Yi's move to the middle, after all, the middle was the most dangerous area, he cared about the fate of the team, and did not notice the movement of Mark behind him.

Zhou Yi's move to the middle attracted almost all the defenders of Schalke 04. Petrarch followed him, and another Schalke 04 midfielder, Ozur Ozdemir, also rushed towards Zhou Yi.

Patrick Weimar, another centre-back from Schalke 04, also stepped forward and blocked Zhou Yi in front of him, and if Zhou Yi wanted to dribble the ball into the box, he would face his interception directly. If Zhou Yi wants to shoot, he can also use his body to block and interfere with Zhou Yi's shot.

At this time, Schalke 04's left full-back also followed to the middle, staring at Zhou Yi, closely watching everything that happened at the top of the penalty arc in his penalty area.

Schalke 04's players are also fast, and soon formed an encirclement of Zhou Yi, it seems that Zhou Yi will be unable to escape!

But at this time, Zhou Yi, who was bowing his head and dribbling the ball, suddenly pushed the football with the inside of his right foot and sent a straight stopper!

The ball slipped through the huge gap between Schalke 04 centre-back Weimar and their left wing-back in front of him!

※ ※ ※

"Oh! good ball!" Ricken, who was watching from the stands, couldn't help but get up from his seat when he saw this scene.

From the stands, he looked down from the stands and could clearly see a gap of about 10 metres between Schalke 04's centre-back and left-wing-back.

But this does not mean that Zhou Yi, who is bowing his head and dribbling the ball on the court, will definitely be able to see this vacancy.

Not to mention seeing Mark ambushed behind!

But he just passed the football as if he had seen it all!

And the forward Mark accelerated, and also rushed out from behind the full-back of Schalke 04, chasing the football!

Schalke 04's left wing-back took a step forward at the same time as Zhou Yi passed the football, and he obviously wanted to create an offside position - whether there was an opposing player behind him.

He glanced back behind him as he was offside, and sure enough, the Borussia Dortmund player received the ball behind him!

He raised his arm and signaled for offside.

But the linesman didn't see it that way, he didn't raise the flag, but ran with Mark! This signal is clear - Mark is not offside!

"Damn!" the Schalke 04 full-back, who raised his hand, quickly turned around and ran back.

Not only him, but the central defender Weimar, who was in front of Zhou Yi before, and Ozdemir, who formed an encirclement, all rushed back to the penalty area.

But it's too late!

Zhou Yi's ball speed is not fast, and the power is not very large, but it just makes a group of Schalke 04 players unable to react. At the same time, it will also make it very easy for the player who receives the ball to stop the ball and make the next step.

Mark received the ball behind everyone, took it down the middle, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, he chose to push with his left foot with his left foot!

The ball arcs against the turf and goes straight to the far corner of the goal!

The Schalke 04 goalkeeper who was attacking was too late to save with his hands, so he could only fall to the ground and try to block the football with his feet, but he was still a little slower!

The soccer ball rolls past his feet!

In full view of everyone, he rolled into the net......

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Dortmund U17 led Schalke 04 U17 1:0 at home!

There were loud cheers from the stands.

Zhou Yi turned his head in cheers and said in German to Petrarch, who was standing behind him in a daze, "I will pass it directly!"

With that, he threw Petrarch down and rushed to Mark to celebrate the goal.

Petrarch stared at his back in a daze, speechless.
