On the way home from training, Mark excitedly told his father about his performance in the race. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The elder Wagner did not speak, drove quietly, and listened to his son quietly, but judging by the smile on his face, it could be seen that he was still very happy for his son.

As a fan, he naturally knows what it means to be good in the team.

This means that at the weekend of the U19 League, his son will have a good chance of being in the starting line-up for the game!

When he got home, Mark told his mom the news, and he got an excited hug and kiss from him.

"Oh, my Mark, I knew you were the best!" Mrs. Wagner then let go of Mark and turned to call her daughter Cortana, asking her to go to the game.

After the call, she hummed a song again and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Zhou Yi suddenly envied Mark when he saw this scene. Because of his family, his mother would not be so supportive of him playing football.

In fact, as the main striker of the school team, he has played a lot of games, but his mother has not watched a single game.

It's my father, when he is not particularly busy at work, he will choose to go to the scene to watch the game and cheer himself on.

Alas, when can my mother be so happy to go to the scene to watch me play!

Zhou Yi couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart......

After the midweek game, it was not long before the day of the game came.

The day before the game, manager Peter Yebala announced his squad for Borussia Dortmund's U19 home game against Essen U19.

Not surprisingly, both Zhou Yi and Mark were selected for this squad.

Of course, Schneider was among them.

But Yebara did not announce the starting line-up.

Although it was not announced, everyone could guess who would start.

Zhou Yi and Mark, who excelled in midweek training, should both start if nothing else.

And Schneider, on the other hand, may be put on the bench......

After all, he didn't perform as well as Mark in the team games, and he was not as motivated as Mark in normal training, and he was late for the first training session this week......

With so many slots, how can it still occupy the starting line?

It would have been fine if Mark hadn't existed, but for now......

Schneider also seemed to have guessed his fate, and his face was very ugly.

In fact, since that intra-team training match, Schneider's expression has not been very good-looking.

He also seemed to feel threatened by Mark.

When Zhou Yi and Mark returned home in the evening, they saw Cortana.

Mrs. Wagner excitedly asked, "How is it going, are you in the starting lineup?"

Mark shook his head: "The starting list hasn't been announced yet, Mom." ”

"Haven't announced it yet?" Mrs. Wagner was a little disappointed and a little worried when she heard Mark say this, she was worried that there would be many dreams at night, and what would happen to tomorrow's game.

Seeing that his mother's face changed, Mark hurriedly comforted his mother: "But I don't think there's a problem, Mom." You don't have to worry about ......."

Zhou Yi also hurriedly explained to his friend next to him: "Mrs. Wagner, Mark performed very well in the midweek training match, so I also think there should be no problem for him to start tomorrow." ”

After listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, Mrs. Wagner laughed: "I hope so." ”

Cortana sat on the couch flipping through a book, seemingly unaware of Mark's conversation with his mother, and didn't even lift her head.

The next day, Mark's family drove to the Bracker training base with Zhou Yi.

There are already many parents, families, relatives and friends of the players in the training base.

Although the official U19 league and the U17 league play on the same pitch, the level of attention is not the same.

Zhou Yi has only participated in the official U17 league once, and at that time he felt that there were a lot of people who came to watch the game, but when he came to the U19 league venue today, he felt that there were really few people watching the U17 game......

As the highest-ranking team in the youth team, the U19 competition is naturally the most high-profile in the youth team level.

Moreover, this is an official youth league match, not a warm-up match.

The Under-19s are becoming more and more important in the Bundesliga these days, with more and more Under-19s being drawn to the first team through their performances in youth team competitions, not just at Borussia Dortmund but also at other Bundesliga clubs.

On the other hand, the U23, which was originally a first-team talent pool, that is, the status of the reserve team, is becoming more and more embarrassing.

The Under-23s have become a gathering place for first-team players who have been punished, first-team players who have been injured and need to recover, or players who have not played at all in the first team. It is the existence of no hope.

It's U19, which is full of vitality and makes people like it.

Borussia Dortmund's opponents for this game are Essen U19s, a team that is not very strong, and after fifteen rounds of league games, they are ninth in the Western League of the Under-19s, which is a total of fourteen teams.

Borussia Dortmund are currently number one.

There is a big difference in quality between the two sides, and this is not a game with any suspense in the outcome, as Dortmund can easily beat their opponents at home as long as they play normally.

What makes the Dortmund Under-19 players more concerned is actually the starting line-up arrangement before the game.

In the U19 dressing room, Zhou Yi and Mark sat together, waiting for the manager to announce the starting line-up.

Although in fact, it is already a sure thing.

But before the announcement, there was always some nervousness.

Mark is like that.

Yebara didn't sell anything, and began to announce the starting list with a piece of paper.

Starting with the goalkeeper, his name was basically unexpected, and all the players who performed well in training and intra-team games during the week were included in the starting line-up.

Zhou Yi is the same.

When he heard his name being reported, Zhou Yi was not surprised, his goal is to play in the first team, if he can't play in the U19 now, then what do you want to play in the first team?

He cares more about his friend, Mark.

After hearing the news of Zhou Yi's debut, Mark also happily bumped into Zhou Yi. He then straightened his chest and waited with bated breath for the manager to call out his name.

For Zhou Yi's appearance, the other teammates were not surprised. Zhou Yi has already shown his ability in a week of training and intra-team competitions, and has won the affirmation of many teammates.

It does make sense that this kid was able to go straight from U17 to U19. His level is definitely up to the Under-19 requirements.

Yebarah continued.

"Götze. ”

It was also an unsurprising decision.

After Gotze, there are only two strikers left.

Mark tensed.

"Kinchek. Yabarah said.

Daniel Kinchek only arrived at Dortmund in 2007 and was the top scorer in the Under-17 West Division last season when he was still at the Under-17s. Since the U19s, he has been the main force. So it's no surprise that he can start.

Now there is only one spot left.

Could it be Mark?

Many people think that this is no suspense.

Schneider sat in his seat with his head down, so that people could not see his expression, but it could be guessed that it would not look good.

It's a terrible feeling to wait for a judgment.

Zhou Yi touched Mark, with an expression of "waiting to be called".

Yebara didn't raise his head, but continued: "Schneider." ”

Suddenly there was a burst of surprised inhalation in the locker room.

And Schneider, who had been with his head down, also raised his head sharply, and then he clenched his fists hard.

"Ahh Seeing Mark sitting in his place with a shocked expression, Schneider's face showed a smug smile.

If it weren't for the head coach's presence, he would have been sarcastic about the toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

You think you're ready to start if you score a hat-trick in an intra-team game?

How easy is it to start the game?

Mark was indeed completely stunned, he didn't expect that he was not a starter.

For a moment, his entire brain went blank.

The surrounding sounds were all gone.

Zhou Yi was also surprised, he didn't expect Mark to not start, he glanced at Mark and found that Mark was in a sluggish state.

Zhou Yi couldn't figure out why Mark couldn't start.

He glanced at head coach Yebara, who folded the paper and put it away after reading the list, and began to talk about the precautions in the game, without the slightest intention of explaining the arrangement of the list, as if he had not seen everyone's reaction to the list at all.

Although Zhou Yi had a lot of questions in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to ask questions. So he didn't say anything, just patted Mark on the shoulder and comforted him.

Mark seemed to have finally come to his senses and hung his head.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi sighed in his heart.

Finally, Mark is a little confident, and this time I am afraid that this incident will deal a heavy blow to his self-confidence.

Hey, Mark, don't you go back to the way you were!

Mrs. Wagner sat in the stands, writhing her buttocks, and Cortana, who was sitting next to her, could not stand it anymore, she put down her book and complained, "Mom, can you sit quietly?"

"Who can sit quietly at this time? But you, don't you think you are too out of place? You can be here, at this time, and still read!" Mrs. Wagner criticized her daughter.

"Wouldn't I just be able to read a book in the game?"

"That's a matter of course! Today is your brother's first start in the U19s!

As she was talking, Cortana suddenly pointed to the court and said, "My brother is out." ”

Mrs. Wagner hurriedly turned her head excitedly to look for it: "Where?"

Soon, she saw Mark on the bench at Borussia Dortmund's U19s, who had just sat down.

"Oh...... Huh?"

Mrs. Wagner quickly frowned: "Why did he sit on the bench?"

"Like...... Isn't the son a starter?" said old Wagner, too, with some hesitation.

"This ...... How is that possible?!" Mrs. Wagner yelled at her husband in disbelief. "My son is doing so well, why can't he be a starter?"

Old Wagner shrunk his neck: "How do I know this? This is the coach's arrangement......"

"Bullshit coach, can't you even see what my Mark is capable of!" Mrs. Wagner had to take a pisser at the U19 manager, poor Yebala......

Soon, the players who really started began to enter, and Zhou Yi was among them, but Mark really didn't start, he sat on the bench and shrunk the whole person in a thick coat, as if he wanted to isolate the whole world with a coat......

"This ...... How could it be ......" Before the start of the game, sitting in the stands, Mrs. Wagner, full of joy, did not know how many times she had longed for her son's performance in her heart, but the reality was cruel and made her so depressed that she could only mumble to herself.
