Chapter 110: Thinking of Relatives Every Festive Season
After carrying out special "special training" with Mark, Zhou Yi's life has now become like this: training in the Bracker training base every day, returning home at night for an hour of German learning, and then conducting special training with Mark in Mark's room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He will constantly tell Mark how to run and how to receive his passes during the game.
Thanks to the game's replay function, press pause if necessary, and then enter the replay, recreating the running positions of the two sides from all angles.
It's like watching a technically manipulated video of a match.
This also resulted in them not being able to play a few games in one night.
In the process, Mark gradually adapted to Zhou Yi's style of play, and his outstanding tactical awareness and running talent were also reflected.
He is no longer as busy as he was at the beginning, and the two gradually play a tacit understanding in the game.
Under their manipulation, Dortmund won the league title in their first season and qualified for next season's Champions League.
And at this time, the most important holiday in the West, the annual Christmas, has also arrived.
In fact, when Zhou Yi went to the training base every day to train, he could already feel the atmosphere of the festival.
There are noticeably more Christmas decorations on the road, and Christmas lights and balls are hung in the windows of shops.
The old Wagner's in-car radio also began to hear the music of "Christmas Carol".
In short, all of this makes people feel like a holiday.
Chinese pay attention to thinking about relatives every festive season.
For Zhou Yi, it was his first real festival abroad, having come to Dortmund at the end of November and spending a month here, with 2008 coming to an end.
In a foreign country, most of the time he lived happily and had a head.
But under the festive atmosphere, he will inevitably think about his father and mother, the small room that is not big but full of things and memories, and his school, classmates and his student time in China.
If it is in China, what should he be doing at this time?
Discuss with your classmates where to go on Christmas Eve?
Busy receiving and sending Christmas cards, showing off the gifts they received to each other.
......
Usually with teammates, training, chatting, joking or something is fine, I don't feel it.
Only when he was lying in bed at night and alone did Zhou Yi feel this way from the bottom of his heart.
Although he would call his parents once a week for less than 10 minutes at a fixed time, he still couldn't suppress his longing for his family at a time when he was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
Especially when he returned to Mark's house after a day's training, Zhou Yi saw the Christmas tree standing in his living room.
Mrs. Wagner is hanging lanterns on a tree with a ladder.
Seeing her son coming back, she beckoned to him: "Come and help, Mark!"
Mark dropped his bag and replaced his mom. Zhou Yi also went up to help.
The two of them were busy for a while, and hung up all the lanterns that were going to be hung.
Then everyone stood under the tree and looked up at the Christmas tree.
"Perfect!" said Mrs. Wagner, smiling and clapping her hands. "We're having a big dinner tonight!"
"Isn't it Christmas Eve?" said Mark, curious.
"Fool, this is to thank the two gentlemen who helped!" said Mrs. Wagner with a smile.
"Mom, you're so nice!" said Mark, happily hugging Mrs. Wagner and kissing her the cheek.
Looking at the true feelings between Mark and his mother, Zhou Yi naturally thought of him and his mother.
Although his mother is very strict with him, he feels stressed. But when he left his hometown and came to Dortmund, he could no longer hear his mother's strict voice, and he began to miss his strict mother.
Looking at the scene in front of him now, Zhou Yi did not have a smile on his face.
Until the time of the meal, although it was a sumptuous meal, as Mrs. Wagner said, Zhou Yi ate tastelessly, had no interest, and seemed relatively silent at the dinner table.
And I finished eating early, and after saying goodbye, I went upstairs.
The three people at the remaining dinner table looked at each other.
"Mark, don't you think there's something wrong with Zhou Yi?" asked Mrs. Wagner her son, because Mark was the person who had the most contact with Zhou Yi.
"It seems to be a little ...... But I can't guess why. Mark scratched his head.
"Stupid!" his mother scolded, "Zhou Yi is homesick! ”
Still older people have experience.
Old Wagner also nodded beside him and said, "Yes." ”
"I thought that if we had a lively holiday, maybe it would make Zhou Yi less homesick, but now it seems that the Chinese are more homesick than we thought." Mrs. Wagner sighed. "Mark, don't sit at home and play games at night, take Zhou Yi out for a walk, and let him relax. ”
Mrs. Wagner is a very enthusiastic and good person, she not only cares about Zhou Yi's diet and daily life, but also cares about Zhou Yi's psychological condition.
Mark was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

Zhou Yi, who returned to the room, couldn't even if he wanted to call his family to relieve his homesickness and miss his parents, because it was eight o'clock at night in Germany and three o'clock in the morning in China, and his parents had already fallen asleep.
So Zhou Yi just sat in his room in a daze.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in. Zhou Yi hurriedly adjusted his mood and said.
Mark pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hi, Zhou Yi. Let's go out in the evening, I'll take you to a nice place!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yi didn't react.
"Bar! A bar full of beautiful women!" Mark's face was excited.
"Go!" As soon as Zhou Yi heard that there were many beautiful women, he immediately put his homesickness behind, after all, young people......
※ ※ ※
Zhou Yi and Mark stood in a long line with their necks bent, and looked ahead from time to time to see how many more people had entered, and how long it was before they entered.
Dortmund is located in northwestern Germany, and the night at the end of December was still very cold, and Zhou Yi didn't even want to take it out, so he copied it in the pocket of his coat.
"It's not fun at all, Mark. After waiting in the long queue for ten minutes, Zhou Yi complained. He's starting to miss the warm room and the PS3.
"What's wrong?" Mark didn't feel Zhou Yi at all, he looked left and right excitedly, his eyes followed those outstanding beauties. The beauties either come in groups or are accompanied by male companions, walk in front of them, and ...... Walk straight to the bar entrance in front of you.
"I didn't know there would be such a long queue to go to a bar in Germany. ”
"Isn't that normal? Unless you have a VIP card, or you're a woman, or you can have a female companion. Do you have any of these?"
"If I want to have a female companion, I won't live in your house!" Zhou Yi snorted.
"Heavy color and light friends!"
The two of them were chatting, suddenly Mark stopped talking, his eyes were staring straight in a certain direction, Zhou Yi thought he saw a beautiful woman again, and then looked over, but saw a person who made him familiar.
Among the three people who came on, there was a tall man who was Zhou Yi's "old acquaintance". To be precise, "old acquaintances" in the virtual system.
Before challenging the Dortmund youth team, Zhou Yike played him dozens of times in the world of FIFAOL3.
Schneider, the main striker of Dortmund's Under-17 youth team at the time, but now he is a member of the Under-19s.
Schneider also seemed to see an acquaintance, and suddenly turned around and walked towards Zhou Yi.
However, his eyes did not stay on Zhou Yi's face, and he didn't even sweep it, he walked straight towards Mark.
"Yo, isn't this Mark?" Schneider laughed, looking back at his two companions, who laughed along.
But Mark did not have the joy of meeting acquaintances at all, and he looked away with a straight face, not even looking at Schneider.
"Are you still waiting in line stupidly here? Do you want me to take you in? I have a VIP card!" Schneider shook a card in his hand.
Mark was about to open his mouth when Schneider laughed again: "Oh, I'm just talking casually, how can I take you in? In that case, even I will be blocked by the security guards!"
With that, he laughed and turned away, and the two companions beside him laughed and walked away after his ass.
Zhou Yi noticed that Mark clenched his fists, stared at their backs, watched the three of them walk to the front of the line, and then Schneider shook the card in his hand and was let in by the security guard.
"That's ...... Schneider, right?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Yes. Mark took a deep breath, exhaled it again, and then released his fist, his voice full of helplessness.
"You don't have a good relationship, but aren't you teammates on the same team since the Under-9s?"
"Teammates also have good relationships and bad relationships. Mark said. "We're all forwards, it's a competitive relationship. In the beginning, when Schneider was not yet developing, we were all about the same physically, I was the main force, he was my replacement. Later, when he started to grow violently, he surpassed me in terms of physical fitness, and I became his replacement, and I have been until now...... He's getting better and better, not only in the U17 but also from the U17 to the U19, and I'm ......"
Mark didn't continue, because he didn't need to say what his situation was now.
Anyway, now he can't raise his head at all when he is pressed by Schneider, and in the face of Schneider, he is not just a dwarf in terms of height.
"I see...... Zhou Yi stared at the door of the bar, thoughtful, and then he patted Mark on the shoulder: "It's okay, Mark, sooner or later we will let him be your substitute again!"
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Mark was a little surprised: "How is this possible?"
"Don't forget our 'special training', 'special training'!" Zhou Yi reminded him.
At the thought of special training, some fire also appeared in Mark's eyes, and he didn't seem to feel cold on this cold winter night.
