The next day, when Zhou Yi got up from the bed and stretched out, he heard a weak voice from Mark next to him: "Did you sleep well yesterday, Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Yi turned his head to look: "Didn't you sleep well?"

Mark pointed to his dark eyes and said, "Do you think I'm sleeping well like this now?"

"Uh......"

"I don't even know when I fell asleep, and then I woke up early...... "Mark said with a sad face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You can't do that, Mark. There's a final today, and if you don't have a good rest, how are you going to score goals on the pitch when the time comes?"

"It's because of the finals!" Mark said. "When I think about the finals, I get nervous, and I can't sleep when I'm nervous......"

"We seem to have a lunch break after lunch, so don't even think about sleeping well. Zhou Yi got up. "If you can't sleep by then, I can help you. ”

"How can I help?" asked Mark.

"Stun you!"

Mark rolled his eyes.

After lunch, Mark did listen to Zhou Yi's words and obediently went to take a lunch break. Maybe it was because he was too sleepy because he didn't get a good rest, but this time Mark went to bed and fell asleep.

When Mark woke up from the bed, Zhou Yi was reading a book on the sofa in the room.

Hearing movement on Mark's bed, he asked, "How was your sleep?"

"It's cool. Mark stretched and yawned again.

"That's good, our champion has a show!" Zhou Yi said, closing the book.

"Hey, don't look like you're expecting me to win the championship...... Mark grumbled, "I'm going to be nervous if you do that......"

"We're trident, and if anyone in the trident is wrong, they won't be able to bring out the full power of the trident. In addition, if this makes you feel pressure, when you go to the first team in the future, the pressure will be even greater, don't you want to retire early?" Zhou Yi glanced at Mark, "What do you say when you retire at a press conference?" 'Ah, I think the competition in the first team is too fierce, there are 80,000 people watching a game, so many cameras are facing me, I am under too much pressure, I don't play, I will go home and be an ordinary person!' What do you think?"

"It's dead. ”

"Isn't that it?" Zhou Yi spread his hands, "Mark, if you want to be what you think you are, treat this German Cup final as a drill." ”

"I see, Zhou Yi. Mark nodded.

Zhou Yi is right, if you want to become a qualified professional player, you must be able to withstand pressure, and if you can't, then give up as soon as possible.

"Are we too early?" said Mrs. Wagner, standing in the stands at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, looking around, empty as far as the eye could see.

It is a 75,000-seat complex stadium with a blue and white track and field, but there are not many people sitting in the stands of the stadium today. People were scattered in the stands on all sides.

"How many spectators can you have at a youth team game?" Cortana said.

"But it's a German Cup final!" Mrs. Wagner retorted to her daughter.

"It's the German Youth Cup, Mom. If it weren't for my brother making it to the finals, we wouldn't even be able to watch this game on TV. It's great to have so many people come to watch the game. Cortana said.

Mrs. Wagner sighed, lamenting that her son's performance in the German Cup final could not be seen by more people.

When the Borussia Dortmund U19s' buses arrived outside the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, they didn't see the countless fans gathered on both sides of the road to cheer them on.

This was a bit of a disappointment for everyone.

"Why aren't there anybody?" said Mark who looked around for a long time and saw only a handful of Dortmund fans.

"The youth team is playing. Zhou Yi looked outside and said.

The Olympic Stadium in Germany, which he watched live at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, but today is the closest he has ever been to the World Cup final.

"Zhou Yi, why don't I think you're nervous at all?" Mark said as he looked back at Zhou Yi.

"What's so stressful about this?" Zhou Yi said, pointing to the empty outside.

"No, it doesn't matter how many people there are. It's also the final of the German Cup. Mark said.

"Hey, we're going to play the Champions League final in the future, how can a mere youth German Cup final make me nervous?" Zhou Yi scoffed at Mark's words.

"Champions League final?" Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Mark was a little distracted.

Now that he has only played in the final of the Youth German Cup in Dortmund U19, Zhou Yi actually thought of the Champions League final, should he say that he is whimsical, or has courage?

Ge Ting, who was sitting in the back, heard Zhou Yi say this, and simply leaned over: "Yes, Zhou Yi is right." And not only the Champions League final, but also the World Cup final in the future!"

Zhou Yi glanced at him, and always felt that Götze was talking - the Champions League final is not far away for me, but I am a Chinese, and the World Cup final is too far away for me!

"World Cup final?" Mark added to god.

Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder: "Come back to your senses, the World Cup final is still too far away for us, be realistic, and be down-to-earth to go further." ”

Gotze said: "It's like the Champions League final is realistic, so let's play today's game first. I didn't want to come to Berlin and go back empty-handed. ”

As they spoke, the car stopped, and they arrived.

The young players got out of the car with the coaches, and there was no cheering from the fans, and no media reporters greeted them with long guns and short guns.

Compared to the final of the senior German Cup, which took place two days later, there were not many people interested in the junior competition.

After entering the locker room, everyone began to change their clothes and prepare to go out to warm up. But after Zhou Yi changed his clothes, instead of going out with everyone, he took out his digital camera and asked Mark to take a picture of himself in front of his wardrobe.

Holding the camera and looking at Zhou Yi with a pose in the viewfinder, Mark pressed the shutter, and then he wanted to return the camera to Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Wait, I'll take a few more photos in a different position." ”

Mark rolled his eyes: "We still have to go out to warm up, Zhou Yi ......"

"There's not much time to lose. Quick, Mark!" As he spoke, Zhou Yi changed his posture again.

In this way, Mark took several photos at Zhou Yi's request, and after Zhou Yi checked the quality of the photos one by one, he put the camera back in his bag, and then went to warm up with Mark - and at this time, there were only two of them left in the locker room.

"I haven't seen you take pictures in the game before?" Mark was surprised.

"After all, it's the finals, and when the photo is taken, it will be sent to my parents, and they can't come to watch the game live, and there can't be live TV in China. Zhou Yi explained. "Show them the pictures and let them know I'm playing in the German Cup final. ”

"Oh, that's ......" Mark understood Zhou Yi, his parents and sister would be watching this game from the stands, they were so close to him, if the number of spectators was small, he could hear his mother cheering for him.

But what about Zhou Yi? His parents are both in China, so it is impossible for him to come to see this game, and Zhou Yi can't hear their cheers.

Thinking of this, Marco suddenly felt that he was simply weak.

Zhou Yi is far away from home alone, and when he comes to Germany, where he is not familiar with his life, he is still so optimistic and strong.

And what about yourself?

You don't have to be far away from your parents, you can come home after training every day, eat delicious and fragrant meals made by your mother, and play in your favorite team from a young age.

How can you be so weak that you can even feel nervous about a German Youth Cup final?

He used to just think that Zhou Yi was smart, had brains, had ideas, knew a lot, and was willing to listen to him. But now, he really understood why he was willing to listen to Zhou Yi.

Because Zhou Yi's strength and self-confidence have always been what he envies and desires.

I also want to be like Zhou Yi, confident, and strong, and unswervingly move towards my goal.

So let's start today, from this game.

Be a confident and strong person who can not rely on others.

Mark followed Zhou Yi and walked towards the court.

The tension of the final faded from him.

"Haven't you done it yet?"

In China, at Zhou Yi's home, Li Cuiyun sat next to her husband with a cup of hot water.

Her husband, Zhou Jianliang, was nervously pressing this button in front of his computer, constantly switching between the desktop and the web.

"I'm still figuring it, these are all in English, I can't read ......" Zhou Jianliang pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then lowered his head and flipped through an English-Chinese dictionary spread out on the table, and gestured with his hand on the dictionary.

"When does my son's game start?"

"It's 0:00 here. ”

Li Cuiyun glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen: "It's eleven fifty, can you do it in ten minutes?"

"I'm trying, anyway, I'm sure you'll see our son's game!"

"Hey, isn't it what you want to see the most?" Li Cuiyun finished speaking and took the dictionary, "You go to the Internet to check how to use this software, if there are words you don't understand, I'll help you look it up." ”

"Good. ”

"This means registration, right? You have to register an account first......

"What does that mean?"

The couple looked at the computer screen, flipped through the dictionary, and studied it together.
