Although Mark's unexpected failure to select the starting lineup surprised Zhou Yi and puzzled him, Zhou Yi still knew very well that he could not let this emotion affect his performance on the court. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, he also needs to use the game to win more attention, and the Under-19 game is the ticket to the first team.

If you don't do well in the Under-19s, then what's the first team?

So when the game started, Zhou Yi put his attention on the game.

Essen Under-19 is indeed not a very strong opponent, and even without Zhou Yi, Dortmund's youth team can beat their opponents.

It's just that with Zhou Yi, they may win more easily.

From the very beginning of the game, after standing in the middle of the midfield, he frequently received passes from his teammates, and then he divided the football.

After a week of training and intra-team matches, his teammates have seen Zhou Yi's ability, although they can't say why, but Zhou Yi can quickly find the gap in the game, and then pass the football to the right person.

Yebala asked Zhou Yi to be the team's midfield hub, and no one in the whole team objected.

The same is true of Gotze, who was originally playing as a striker.

After all, if you want to talk about the recognition of Zhou Yi's ability, Götze is the earliest person.

And the arrival of Zhou Yi also changed Gotze's position on the field.

Originally, he was the one in the middle, but now with Zhou Yi, he was put to the side by head coach Yebala.

Götze's speed is not fast, but his dribbling ability is excellent, so playing on the wing is a good way to make the most of his strengths in this area, and by reducing the requirements for him to organise attacks, it can free up his ability to break through and score.

Gotze doesn't have to wear many hats on the pitch, which is also a good thing for Borussia Dortmund's youth team.

Prior to this, the Dortmund youth team without Zhou Yi had always used Gotze as an all-rounder. It requires him to organize an attack in the middle, and he is required to break through on the flanks and finally score a goal.

Gotze's ability is indeed outstanding among the youth team players, but even if it is prominent, such a person for three people will inevitably weaken Gotze's performance on the field.

Now that Zhou Yi is here, at first glance it seems that he has robbed Gotze of his position in the middle, but in fact, he has liberated Gotze.

So Gotze himself is willing to hand over the organizational power - someone who does this job can bring him closer to the opponent's goal, and he can't ask for it!

As the highest-level player in the youth team, Gotze also consciously cooperated with Zhou Yiduo, because he found that Zhou Yi was the teammate who could best understand his intentions.

Although I don't understand why, working with Zhou Yi does give Götze the feeling that they have worked together for many years.

Zhou Yi seems to know him very well, and this feeling has never been felt by Gotze when he was in the U19.

Although he is a U19 player, in fact, he only came more than two months earlier than Zhou Yi.

He had been with the Under-17s for a long time, and then he was transferred directly from the Under-17s to the first team, where he stayed for a while before being relegated to the Under-19s because he couldn't play.

In terms of tacit understanding, he is definitely not as tacit as he is with this group of U19 players.

A lot of the time, on the pitch, Gotze relies on his own super personal ability to motivate his teammates. Fortunately, his teammates are also strong, and they can keep up with his rhythm, so they won't let him fight alone. Then I really can't take it.

The situation is bound to gradually improve with the tacit understanding between Gotze and the rest of the Under-19 players. But the time is not clear, it will definitely not be too short.

But Gotze didn't want to stay in the Under-19s for too long.

He still wants to return to the first team as soon as possible and play in the first team.

How can a person who has already seen the most beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain be willing to stay at the foot of the mountain?

That's what Götze thinks now.

He came to the Under-19s to put in a better performance and impress the first-team manager Jurgen Klopp once again to get himself in the first team.

He desperately behaves for this reason.

But in fact, this approach is not a long-term way, he kicks like this, and after a long time, it will collapse sooner or later, because his body can't bear it.

He has been with the Under-19s for more than two months and has already scored eight goals and provided four assists.

But after all, he is a player who is not yet 17 years old, and in a game of this intensity at the level of Under-19, he can't go far by his individual ability.

He also needs a helper.

Now Zhou Yi is here.

He can finally take some of the burden off his shoulders, and that's a good thing for him.

And Zhou Yi's ability in training also made Götze more willing to seek cooperation with Zhou Yi.

At the same time, for Zhou Yi, cooperating with Gotze also reduces the defensive pressure he faces, and he does not always have to control the football at his feet and fall into the dilemma of hand-to-hand combat with the opponent. In the most heavily defended area, he can pass the ball to Gotze and let Gotze draw the attention of the opponent's defence, and then take Gotze's pass and quickly pass the ball into the air.

As a result, the chances of being annoyed by Petrarch in the Ruhr derby at the Under-17 level are much less likely.

Gotze frequently passed the ball to Zhou Yi.

And Zhou Yi also frequently passed the ball to Gotze.

While their first meeting at the Under-19s was a bit of a gunpowder, it didn't affect their relationship on the pitch.

In Zhou Yi's first U19 game, youth director Lars Ricken, who was watching from the sidelines, watched only 20 minutes of the game and couldn't help but sigh: "The performance and feeling of the two of them is simply beyond the other teammates. I'm not surprised that Gotze has such a performance, but I am really surprised that Zhou Yi can also perform like this in the U19s......"

Yebara said: "In terms of football awareness, Zhou Yi's level is very high, and now he is only restricted by physical conditions. ”

Ricken nodded, imagining in his heart what a physical Zhou Yi would look like...... He felt like he could go straight to the first team.

So he asked, "How is Zhou Yi's strength training?"

Wangle said he worked hard. Fortunately, this kid is in the development period, and his body has changed a lot, and strength training will have good results as long as it is correct and scientific. Unfortunately, because he is in a period of rapid physical development, he should be especially careful of his injuries, which can easily cause frequent injuries that will affect his entire career. Yebara said.

Ricken touched his chin: "But with Zhou Yi's position and role, he may inevitably be targeted by the opponent in the game, and the chance of injury is higher than that of ordinary players......"

"So protect him. In addition, Zhou Yi himself is also very smart, you see that he is in the game, and he will not let the football stay under his feet for too long. Yebara pointed at Zhou Yi and said.

Zhou Yi had just passed the ball away before an Essen U19 player could rush up. He is not in the encirclement, and he controls the football and does not pass it out, so he will only attract a few players from the opposing side, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the chaotic battle.

In fact, not only this time, but not only this game, Zhou Yi rarely sticks football to his feet in other games. Although his ball handling skills were not bad, otherwise he would not have been able to make it all the way from the auditions that so many people across the country participated in, and the auditions at that time were all about the most basic abilities of football, such as passing, shooting and dribbling.

Zhou Yi was able to win, which shows that his ability in this area is not bad.

But Zhou Yi himself is not the kind of player who likes to keep the football under his feet all the time, and then connect several people, either hit the football into the goal, or be cut off by the opponent.

Not when you're a striker, and even less so when you're switching to midfield.

He is clearly aware that as a playmaker in midfield, it is not a good thing to always keep football under his feet.

Zhou Yi's academic performance is average, but it doesn't mean that he is not smart, he is still very willing to use his brain in football.

※ ※ ※

Gotze's personal strength is strong enough, and now Zhou Yi has been added.

The tacit cooperation between the two in the midfield allowed Dortmund U19 to completely suppress Essen U19.

At the end of the first half, Dortmund led 2-0 at home.

However, Schneider did not score, and Gotze scored a goal, which was assisted by Zhou Yi.

The other goal was scored by Daniel Kincek.

It's not that Zhou Yi deliberately didn't pass the ball to Schneider, if Schneider had a good chance, Zhou Yi would indeed pass the football over, but Schneider himself was not angry, and he couldn't blame others if he didn't score.

Schneider is tall, 1.9 meters tall, and his header is excellent, but his offensive means are too simple, and his ability in other aspects is not strong except for headers.

And Zhou Yi himself is not good at crossing, so he will not pull to the side to send a cross to Schneider, basically give him some straight passes or horizontal passes, in the face of this kind of pass, Schneider is not very easy to handle.

Of course, maybe Schneider will think that Zhou Yi is deliberately making things difficult, but he also said that it is not necessarily?

After all, his relationship with Zhou Yi is not very good......

But its implementation has been thought too much.

He was able to enter the Under-19 not because he was particularly outstanding, but because Marco Stippman, one of the original main strikers of the Under-19s, missed the whole season with a serious injury, so he was transferred from the Under-17 team.

However, Schneider is used to feeling good about himself, so he thinks that this is because of his outstanding strength and is favored by the Under-19 coaches......

※ ※ ※

After the break, the two sides changed sides again in the second half, and Dortmund U19 still took the initiative on the pitch.

They scored two more goals and Schneider finally had a goal, which he scored from a corner with a header.

Seeing Schneider score, Mark on the bench had a gloomy gaze.

In the sixty-ninth minute of the game, Zhou Yi was replaced by Yebala.

Although Zhou Yi's physical fitness has improved significantly, for this kind of non-critical game, there is no need for him to insist on playing the whole game. On the other hand, Yebara is also worried about the risk of injury if Zhou Yi continues to stay on the court.

In fact, this is also the positioning that Yebara gave Zhou Yi.

If it wasn't a very difficult game, he didn't plan to let Zhou Yi play the whole game. Although his physical fitness is better than before, he still struggles to complete the 90-minute game without difficulty.

Yebala did not insist that Zhou Yi must play the full 90 minutes of the game, and there was nothing wrong with replacing him early.

When Zhou Yi left the field, some Dortmund fans on the sidelines applauded.

As a debut in the U19s, Zhou Yi's performance was still good, although the assist procedures were not as dazzling as in the U17s, only one assist, but he was involved in almost all four goals.

His ability to organise and organise in midfield is evident to any fan.

With him, Gotze was also freed up to concentrate more on attacking, so Gotze scored two goals in this game.

The skinny number 23 is an unfamiliar face to the Under-19s, but he is not stage frightened at all.

So when he came off the pitch, the Dortmund fans did not hesitate to give them their applause.

When he got off the field, Yebala also shook hands with Zhou Yi.

For Zhou Yi's performance, he, the head coach, is also very satisfied.

Aside from being thin and in poor fitness, he has nothing to complain about for such a player.

After the game, Zhou Yi sat next to Mark, and he still wanted to comfort Mark.

But when he saw him coming, Mark took the initiative to stretch out his hand and smiled at Zhou Yi and said, "You are doing awesome, Zhou Yi!"

Looking at the smile on Mark's face, Zhou Yi was a little surprised-this kid recovered?

As if to understand the meaning of the expression on Zhou Yi's face, Mark explained: "I wasn't idle when you were playing on the court. I thought about it for a week, and it was like playing the starting line-up for a week in the U19s, which was a bit ...... Too optimistic. So I think if I keep training hard, I'll get a start. ”

Zhou Yi didn't expect Mark to be able to say such a thing, he was happy for Mark, and he was relieved in his heart, now it seems that Mark has not been knocked down by this blow.

So he patted Mark on the shoulder and said, "That's right, keep trying!"
