Chapter 124: Core Treatment
When Mark hit the ball into the goal, the Wagners jumped up from their seats, and Mrs. Wagner raised her arms and shouted, "Mark Wagner!! That's my son-!!."
But her shouts were instantly drowned out by loud cheers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Dortmund fans in the stands were raising their arms and chanting.
The taste of the derby is vividly reflected in this moment!
In the Dortmund dugout and on the bench, there were also people celebrating together.
On the pitch, the young people of Dortmund hugged Marc and celebrated the victory.
When Zhou Yi inserted it, he was quickly caught.
"Pass it beautifully, Zhou Yi!" they shouted.
"It's a beautiful run!" Zhou Yi said loudly to Mark. "Shoot more beautifully!"
Mark laughed heartily.
To be able to score against arch-rivals Schalke 04 is better than all the previous warm-up games!
He did it!
He's going to show his sister that he can, he can!
In the stands, Cortana stood up and applauded, her eyes fixed on her brother, who was surrounded by his teammates, enjoying the joy of scoring and the achievement and vanity of being praised by his teammates and cheered by the crowd in the stands.
Will there be such a big smile on the face of a younger brother who is studying hard in school like himself?
Cortana asked herself.
She couldn't imagine what it would look like.

After finishing the celebration, Mark turned to walk back, and he looked up in the stands looking for his parents and sister, which he could see almost at a glance.
Because his mom was standing in the chair, trying to look taller, and then pointed to himself in the stadium and shouted, "Mark!!"
Mark waved to his mom, and he noticed his sister beside him.
He spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture to his sister.
Of course, this is not to say that he is helpless, but to ask his sister that she has scored a goal, is she helpless?
Cortana responded with a shrug and a gesture of spreading her hands.
At the same time, he slandered his younger brother in his heart - this kid still holds a grudge!

When Zhou Yi stuffed the football straight out, Schalke 04's bench sounded a burst of exclamations: "Offside!!"
When Yang Muge heard them shouting, he thought in his heart: How is it possible? Zhou Yi hasn't passed the offside ball yet!
Sure enough, then, Mark stepped in to score, Schalke 04 was behind, and the exclamation on the bench turned into a sigh.
Yang Muge also regretted that the team had conceded the goal, but his inner emotion was more that he was happy that his friend had performed well.
A nice typical Zhouyi-style assist!
The "King of Warm-up Races" also performed very well in official competitions!
Just when Yang Muge was regretting the loss of the ball on the surface, but he was happy in his heart, a teammate suddenly came up on the bench: "Yang, is that your friend?"
Yang Muge was taken aback, thinking that his mind had been exposed, he was very aware of the grievances and hatreds of these two teams.
"Ah, yes, my friend. We've played in a team before. Yang Muge stumbled in German, which he was not very proficient in.
"Then can you convince him to let him join us!"
"I don't think that's likely, sorry, Tim. Yang Muge shook his head and smiled.
Hearing Yang Muge say this, the other party seemed to realize that he had made a very impossible request, so he scratched his head: "Although he is an opponent, I have to admit that he is really powerful...... Petrarch is completely toyed with by him!"
Yang Muge smiled and didn't agree.
Of course, there are many people who have been toyed with by him!

After the restart, the morale of Dortmund, who led by one goal, was high, and with a weekly change, they were firmly in control of the situation on the field. Zhou Yi knows when to accelerate and when to slow down.
With him in control, Dortmund ended the first half with a one-goal lead.
If you look at the strength of the two teams alone, this score is a bit unexpected.
But considering it's a derby, it's not surprising at all.
At half-time, Petrarch was criticised by the manager. However, he was not replaced, so Zhou Yi's goal of making Yang Muge appear has not been achieved.
The coach just asked Petrarch to actively and thoroughly implement his tactics in the second half, that is, to keep an eye on Zhou Yi and never leave!
The goal conceded in the first half, the opponent's forward run was exquisite, but the most important thing was Zhou Yi's passing and cutting run, he dominated Dortmund's goal, and the last pass in the encirclement was also very calm.
Petrarch gritted his teeth and promised the head coach that he would definitely be strict with Zhou Yi in the second half, and would never let him have any chance to perform in front of him again!
Does he still remember what Zhou Yi said to himself after the assist......
I thought he couldn't understand German, but I didn't expect him to hear it all, and then he held back his strength and returned it after the assist!
Such humiliation, Petrarch could not bear.
Be sure to teach that Chinese kid a lesson!
Yang Muge saw Petrarch's slightly hideous expression, and felt worried for Zhou Yi in his heart - I hope Zhou Yi won't get injured in this game......

At half-time, the Dortmund fans in the stands were also discussing the first half of the game, and Mark's goal was naturally the focus of discussion.
While many people praised Mark's forward running position and calm shooting, many people also praised Zhou Yi's passing and organization.
Fans who really care about Borussia Dortmund's youth team are no strangers to these two men, and a series of previous warm-up games have fully proved how good they are.
"This is our golden partner in the youth team!" said one of the fans to the people who don't usually watch the youth team because it was a Ruhr derby.
"Week 23 is in charge of the passing organization, and Mark is in charge of scoring on the 25th. The two of them work very well together!"
Mrs. Wagner, who was eavesdropping nearby, stabbed her husband with her elbow and had a look of stealthily amused expression on her face.
Hearing others praise their sons like this, whether it is China or Germany, parents in the world are the same - their hearts are as sweet as eating honey!
Cortana sat in her place, not wandering around the stands like her parents did, just to hear what others had to say about their son. But even so, Cortana can still hear fans discussing her brother at any time.
"That number twenty-five, Mark Wagner...... I know him, he has been in Dortmund's youth team since he was nine years old, but after so many years, he has not performed too well, and he has always been a substitute in the U17s, how can he suddenly be so powerful? Scored 18 goals during the warm-up game!
"Yes, I'm also curious, if you want to say that he has strength, then why didn't he perform like this before?"
"Hey, the state of the football world, who can say? Anyway, Wagner is in the best state right now......"
Cortana listened to their discussions, wondering to herself that she might know why her brother had changed this way.

The second half began after the break, and the two sides changed sides again, with no personnel changes on either side.
Schalke 04 still has to rely on Draxler.
And Dortmund, obviously, Zhou Yi is the core.
It didn't take long for the second half to start and everyone gradually noticed some changes in personnel adjustments.
That is, Petrarch has obviously strengthened his marking of Zhou Yi, and this time it is not just reflected in the close marking of the tactical board.
Petrarch really has to do it every step of the way.
Under his close defense, Zhou Yi really encountered a predicament.
He wasn't as comfortable as in the first half.
Although Zhou Yi's weight has increased now compared to when he first joined the reality show team, he is still not the kind of strong and mighty player on the court.
Physical confrontation is still his shortcoming.
And when Zhou Yi could not operate normally, Schalke 04's offensive rose.
Julian Draxler took advantage of this special period for Borussia Dortmund and put in a brilliant performance to help Schalke 04 equalise!
As Draxler and his team-mates celebrated the goal, there was a wave of boos in the stands at Dortmund.
In the world of football, there is no such thing as being youth-friendly.
In a derby, the opponent is the enemy, no matter how old they are.
However, Schalke 04's youngsters didn't care about the boos from the stands, they celebrated on enemy turf and irritated every Dortmund fan.
