Chapter 315: It's Not a Dream
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Mark didn't actually have much time to warm up, and he went to warm up probably more symbolically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Klopp still let Bouist pull him by the side and explain to him in detail what he was going to do and how to do it after he came on the pitch.
Mainly because he didn't have faith in Mark.
Zhou Yi also competed, and led the whole team to play pass-and-control football, and dragged Schalke 04, who had already sounded the horn of attack.
So that Bouács can calmly explain tactics to Mark on the sidelines.
After the presentation, Bouche gestured to Klopp, who raised his hand to the pitch again.
Mark then walked over to the fourth officer, ready to play.
Then, Zhou Yi received a pass from his teammates, and he did not pass the football to the next teammate, but directly kicked the football to the stands.
This was obviously to provide an opportunity for the team to make substitutions, but his kick of the football into the stands still caused the displeasure of Schalke 04 fans, who once again sent a huge boo to Zhou Yi.
Especially the Schalke 04 fans in the stands where Zhou Yi kicked to, they pointed the finger at Zhou Yi, thinking that Zhou Yi was deliberately provoking.
Even after some silencing, Li Cuiyun, who was sitting in front of the TV, could still clearly hear how loud the boos were. She was still just sitting in front of the TV, separated by the TV screen and the distance of time and space, but she felt that the boos made her heart beat a little too fast.
Not to mention that his son is now deep in the middle of the pitch, surrounded by boos.
Thinking of the environment her son was in, her heart ached a little as she was beating too fast.
At this moment, the TV broadcast happened to give Zhou Yi a close-up.
In the shrill boos, Zhou Yi still looked calm and unmoved.

Schalke 04's caddie saw Zhou Yi kick the football out of bounds, so he quickly threw the football to Schalke 04 player Rakitic who ran up to ask for the ball, intending to send a throw-in quickly, not giving Dortmund a chance to make substitutions at all, and then continue to maintain the numerical advantage while taking back possession.
However, this time, referee Hecker did not let Schalke 04 do so.
Although Rakitic had already tossed the ball to Raul, it was blown back by Heckel, who signaled them to wait for Dortmund to make a substitution before sending the throw-in.
Thus, Dortmund's period of one less person is over.
The fourth official raised the sign for substitutions, Barrios was substituted and Mark came on.
"Mark Wagner, a young player from Borussia Dortmund's second team, was developed in the Dortmund academy as a striker. He has won the Under-19 National League and the Under-19 German Youth Cup, and has played with Gotze and Zhou Yi in the youth team...... "Marcel Leif introduced Mark very formulaically, these things are all available information, and it doesn't take much effort to investigate.
Although Marc won these titles, he was not the protagonist in that Dortmund Under-19 team, and compared to his fellow Zhou Yi and Gotze, he did seem more ordinary and less eye-catching.
Many people didn't know who he was until now.
However, there is a corner of the Dortmund fan camp that is very excited.
"It's Mark, my son!" Mrs. Wagner jumped up excitedly, and her husband, the usually silent old Wagner, also looked excited at this time, shouting at the stadium: "Come on, Mark!"
"Daddy" Bruno led his "black gold" companions to chant Mark's name in unison.
It's a pity that this is an away game, Dortmund's supporters are limited, and the Black and Gold Fans Association is not all here, there are too few people to make any big waves.
So their cheers couldn't reach Mark's ears at all.
The loudest in the sky over the Schalke Stadium now is the boos of the Schalke 04 fans, who are expressing their displeasure when the referee blows back the throw-in.
It was in this atmosphere that Mark stepped onto the stage for his senior debut.
He was in a trance, feeling as if everything around him had become unreal. His running feet seemed to be stepping on light and soft cotton, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Am I dreaming?
Until this moment, Mark was not very sure that he would have a chance to play for the first time in the squad...... This treatment is better than his idol Zhou Yi, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes after Zhou Yi was selected for the first time in the first team squad.

As Mark was ready to play, Cortana was a little surprised.
She really didn't expect her brother to really play in this game!
She thought of what Zhou Yi had said to her before the game, and told her categorically that Mark would definitely play.
Now even Cortana had to be a little suspicious - could that Chinese boy really know some mysterious oriental sorcery?
Otherwise, how could he accurately predict that his brother would appear?
After a few minutes, the surprise gradually subsided, and Cortana was a little worried about her brother.
Such an important game, such a key substitution, the younger brother has not done anything on the field, he must have carried the expectations and eyes of countless people, can he withstand this heavy pressure?
She is his own sister, and she knows very well what kind of character and temper he has. Sometimes my brother seems to be very confident, but in fact, that kind of confidence has moisture, it is not solid, and a slight blow may make him lose all confidence, and he will fall from the clouds to the bottom with one foot.
This happened many times in the nineteen years of my brother's life.
That's why she felt that her brother was not the material to play professional football.
Because professional footballers, there is a lot of pressure, and pressure is a common thing for them. If you don't have a strong heart, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to achieve anything in this industry. Not to mention that my brother's talent is not very good.
Now seeing her brother's deep and shallow feet after coming on the court, Cortana lowered her head, and she couldn't bear to continue watching.
During the warm-up, her brother's performance was a little worse, and she still felt that it was nothing, but now it is a competition, a real competition, and if he does not perform well in the competition, then everyone will label Mark as a "loser".
This is probably a huge blow to my brother's self-confidence.
In fact, it stands to reason that Cortana should have hoped that her brother's dream of professional football would fail, because that would be in line with her judgment of her own brother all along. But at this time, as an older sister, Cortana couldn't bear to really see that scene coming.
Because she knows too well how much hope and sweat her brother has poured into this moment. If that fails...... For him, it was too cruel.
Cortana looked up again, pushed her sunglasses that had slipped down, and looked back at the court.
Well, since he's all on the field, let's be ready to accept a cruel fate...... Hopefully he won't be upset for too long......
At this time, Cortana was surprised to see Zhou Yi's kid raise his arm, and then slapped Mark's ...... hard On the ass!
※※※
Mark was still distracted, and suddenly someone slapped his butt so hard that he almost jumped up with his butt in his hands.
He came back to his senses, turned his head and saw Zhou Yi's smiling face: "Welcome to the game, Mark." ”
When Mark heard Zhou Yi say this, his eyes were a little out of focus: "I have already played for the first team, this is the first time I have entered the squad...... I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"What do you want?" Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder again, "Isn't this the dream you've always been fighting for?"
Mark heard this and came back to his senses.
Yes, wearing a Borussia Dortmund shirt and representing the first team in the Bundesliga, isn't that what you've always dreamed of?
Yes, it's not a dream, it's a reality I've worked so hard for!
It's the light of dreams that comes into reality!
Thinking of this, Mark's eyes, which were still a little confused before, cleared up again.
Seeing the change in Mark's eyes, Zhou Yi smiled: "Remember what you should do, Mark?"
"Of course!" Mark replied with a vigorous nod, confident.

After Borussia Dortmund's substitutions, the game continued.
The difference in numbers between the two sides is gone, but Schalke 04 is still in full swing.
After all, Barrios, last season's top scorer, is gone, and Dortmund has replaced a little hairy boy who has never heard of it, and the threat to Neuer's goal must have plummeted.
Now is the time for everyone to take out Dortmund!
Schalke 04 continued to press the attack and hope to score as soon as possible.
They didn't pay attention to Mark who had just been replaced, what was there to worry about this hairy boy who was dumbfounded at first glance?
Schalke 04 fans in the stands also burst into laughter when they saw Mark being substituted.
Because they all recognized that the Dortmund striker who was replaced was the idiot number 45 who was kicked in the head by his teammates before the game.
They laughed at Dortmund for changing such an idiot, it seems that Schalke 04 won this game!
