Chapter 107: You Have Your Advantage
There is a youth team game on Sunday, but it has nothing to do with Zhou Yi and Mark. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because they were not selected for the final competition squad at all.
Since it is an away game, there is no need for them to follow the team to the away game, and they will only watch it from the stands, and the journey will be very tiring.
Mark seemed to be used to not being selected for the tournament squad, and he slept straight at home and woke up at almost eleven o'clock.
Zhou Yi asked the club to schedule his language teacher from the evening to the afternoon, so that he could have an extra hour of lessons.
Since you don't have to train or compete, you can learn German.
The German teacher was also very satisfied with Zhou Yi's progress. Originally, the club arranged for him to attend classes twice a week, but at Zhou Yi's strong request, it became a daily class. The teacher is naturally happy to see this, because he is charged according to the class hours, and the more hours he attends, the more he earns.
Any teacher loves motivated students, whether in China or Germany.
After today's class, the teacher praised Zhou Yi's learning attitude and progress speed: "I think it may not be long before you don't need me to teach you." ”
Zhou Yi said: "I don't have an opinion about you, teacher, but I hope I don't need to go to class again tomorrow!"
The teacher smiled: "If you just want to learn the most basic daily conversations, then I really won't be able to use them tomorrow." But if you want to learn more so that you can have a fluent conversation with people from all walks of life in the future, then I'll have to come tomorrow. ”
Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "Then you should come tomorrow!"
The teacher stroked his palms and laughed: "See you tomorrow, Zhou Yi!"
"See you tomorrow, teacher......" Zhou Yi replied with some frustration.
As soon as the teacher left, Mark came to his room and called on him: "Live?"
"Come on!" Anyway, it's okay, Zhou Yi still won't easily refuse to play the game. "Teach you to be a man!"
"Whew!
The two sat in front of the TV in Mark's bedroom and began to fight. Marc chose Borussia Dortmund as usual, while Zhou Yi chose Barcelona.
He feels like when he's playing a game, he reads the game as if he were actually playing it, thinking about how to play every attack.
And Barcelona's style is indeed more suitable for his kind of play, so he generally chooses Barcelona.
At first, Mark thought he was a Barcelona fan. But Zhou Yi told him that he was very fraternal, Barcelona and Real Madrid could love him, and DortBayern could also make a couple.
Mark can't understand Zhou Yi's fraternity, he himself is a die-hard fan of Dortmund, so he can't accept Bayern Munich anyway.
He asked Zhou Yi if all Chinese fans were like this, and Zhou Yi quickly shook his head and told him very seriously that in China, there are Dortmund fans who are more fanatical than Mark, and there are Barcelona fans who are more Catalans like Catalans.
The two of them were playing games and communicating at the same time, and Zhou Yi regarded this as oral training.
Chatting and chatting, when Zhou Yi was in front of his penalty area, Mark suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that Gotze is going back to the U19s again, and it is useless to train in the first team but not play." ”
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and it was this stunned that made Mark cut off the ball at his feet and take advantage of the situation to enter the penalty area!
However, Zhou Yi's reaction speed was also very fast, and he immediately switched defenders and kicked a merciless back flying tackle!
When the whistle sounded, Shaheen, controlled by Mark, fell into the penalty area, penalty!
"Penalty plus red card!" Mark waved his arm excitedly.
In the game, Barcelona defender Marcos, who controlled the tackle by Zhou Yi, was really sent off by the referee with a red card.
"Don't rejoice too soon. Zhou Yi snorted, and at the same time had already pressed the handle tightly to his body, not letting Mark see it.
Mark also hid the handle on the other side of his body, twisting his body to take the penalty while he stared nervously at the TV screen.
Because he was so focused, he didn't notice that Zhou Yi was looking at him out of the corner of his eye.
Just as Mark was about to press the shot button, Zhou Yi suddenly said, "Mark, do you want to be the main force?"
Mark's right thumb pressed the shot button and didn't let go......
Shahin, whom he controlled, also kicked the ball away!
And the goalkeeper controlled by Zhou Yi stood in the middle and didn't move.
"You are cheating!" Mark, who reacted, turned his head and glared at Zhou Yi angrily.
But Zhou Yi stared at Mark with a serious face, and asked in a very serious tone, "No, I just thought of this matter suddenly." You see, they both went to play today, but neither of us even made the squad. It's okay to say that I didn't make it, after all, I've only been in the team for a week, but you, you've been training in Borussia Dortmund's junior team since you were seven years old, and you've been in the squad since you were a little bit old, and you've been knocking out a lot of competitors to get in this team?
Zhou Yi's words made Mark stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
After the silence, he whispered, "I think my strength is not up to the coach's requirements......
"You're right. Just like this penalty just now, I just asked you a word, and your hands trembled so much that you couldn't kick it well. You're a striker, how can you seize opportunities in front of goal with such mental quality?"
"You're right, Zhou Yi ......," Mark said in frustration, feeling that Zhou Yi was simply to the point.
"But if you don't have enough strength, you can improve it by training. Zhou Yi said. "It's not about strength, it's about what you think in your own heart. That's what I asked before, do you want to be the main player and play in the game?"
He looked directly at Mark.
"Nonsense! I think about it in my dreams!" Under Zhou Yi's direct gaze and forced questioning, Mark suddenly became excited. "I always dream of wearing a Dortmund shirt to play in the league and the Champions League! I dream of wearing a Dortmund shirt to lift the league championship and the Champions League!
Zhou Yi didn't expect that the reason he found to interfere with Mark's penalty kick caused such a big reaction from Mark. However, although he was surprised in his heart, Zhou Yi was able to hold his face, and he still said seriously:
"If it's just talking, you want to think about it, it doesn't make much sense. My mother once told me that when it comes to dreams and ideals, talking about things is the easiest and most cost-free thing. But if you really want to make your dreams come true, then you have to really give it your all. In fact, you have the ability to play the main force, compared with Schneider, although your physical fitness is not as good as him, you have your advantages. But have you really done your best for your dreams over the years? I won't bother you. ”
After speaking, Zhou Yi patted Mark's shoulder, put down the handle, got up and left the room.
He walked in a little hurry, but Mark, who had his head down, didn't notice.
He was afraid that Mark would come back to his senses - usually even if the lineup is complete, I will at most fight with Mark, although this penalty has not been scored, but Lao Tzu's main central defender has been sent off, and there is one less person on the field, how can this game be played?!
※ ※ ※
Zhou Yi returned to his room for a long time, and Mark who didn't wait for him to come back to his senses came to slam his door angrily, and when he was having dinner, he also found that Mark was a little absent-minded, and he wandered from time to time, and even Mark's parents felt that their son's behavior was a little strange today. They asked Mark with concern what was wrong, but Mark used "tired" as an excuse.
But fools can see that this is prevarication, they didn't go to the game, how can they still be tired after a day of playing at home?
Could it be that you are tired from playing too much of the game?
Zhou Yi didn't get involved, but of course he knew why Mark was acting wrong.
What surprised him was that they all said that the Germans had a long reflex arc, and they would only laugh in the middle of the night when they heard a joke in the morning, but Mark had too long a reflex arc, wasn't he?
In the face of such a simple Mark, Zhou Yidu rarely felt a little guilty. What a deception of feelings......
※ ※ ※
The next day, when Zhou Yi and Mark went to the Bracker training base in his father's car, Zhou Yi could feel that Mark sitting next to him kept talking and stopped, but maybe because his father was in the car, he was not very convenient to say, so he endured it.
After his father sent them to the gate of the training base and drove away, Mark grabbed Zhou Yi's arm, desperately grabbing the lifebuoy as if he was about to be drowned.
"You say, what advantage do I have?!"
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "You just thought about this question all night?"
"Of course, this is important!" Mark's eyes widened, "I don't even know what my strengths are!"
Facing such a simple Mark, Zhou Yi was speechless: "You don't know what advantages you have, so how did you get from the youth team to the youth team along the way?"
"Isn't that natural? When you get older, you move up the grades, from U9 to U11, U11 to U13, U13 to U15...... So all the way to U17. Mark wondered why Zhou Yi would ask that.
Zhou Yi made a helpless expression: "Then you haven't thought about it carefully, how many teammates who were in the U9 team with you at the beginning, and how many are now in the U17?"
Facing Zhou Yi's rhetorical question, Mark was stunned on the spot and did not react for a long time.
Just when Zhou Yi thought that his brain had stopped responding and died, Mark said in frustration and jealousy: "It seems to ...... I'm alone. Originally, Schneider and I were together, but now they are in the U19 ......"
"So, why are you still in U17?
"I don't think I'm outstanding, but I'm not the worst either......"
"Stupid! That's because you're better than those who get knocked out!"
"I ...... Am I really that good?!" Mark was pleasantly surprised.
Zhou Yi helplessly held Mark's shoulder and said, "I think you know yourself very well, Mark, your brain is indeed not the material for reading......"
"I'll just say it...... No, just tell me what advantages I have! I just want to know where I am better than others!" Mark, who was aroused by Zhou Yi's interest, remembered his advantages.
In fact, when Zhou Yi said that Mark had an advantage that others couldn't match, it was when he had to find a reason to round out his words, and he didn't expect Mark to have any advantage at all.
But now that Mark asked like this, Zhou Yi remembered the attributes of Mark he saw in the system.
Those two are significantly higher than the other teammates of the same age.
Tactical awareness and positioning.
That's really his strength......
So Zhou Yi said: "As a striker, your accurate selection in the penalty area is your advantage, and your tactical awareness and tactical discipline are also very good, which is where you are stronger than others, especially Schneider." ”
The last sentence seemed to shock Mark, and after listening to what Zhou Yi said, he was directly stunned in place.
Zhou Yi was afraid that Mark would pull him to ask more details, such as "How do you know that I choose my position accurately" and "How do you know that my tactical awareness and tactical discipline are better"...... Such a question, quickly took advantage of Mark's stunned efforts to slip away first, and he ran directly to the U17 dressing room.
Behind him, Mark was still in a state of "stop responding", and he didn't realize that Zhou Yi had "abandoned him" at all......
