Chapter 321: Two Balls to Fame
After Zhou Yi left the game, for Chinese fans, the sense of expectation plummeted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was as if the game had ended early, with only those who were already Dortmund fans waiting for the result.
After Zhou Yi went off the field, Dortmund entered the stage of all-round defense, whether it was Mark or Gotze, who scored twice, there was little room to play as offensive players.
The Schalke 04 players showed the same spirit as they fought with Dortmund, and the cheering of the fans in the stands gave them courage and motivation.
Eventually, after a series of attacks, they finally blasted open the door for Dortmund.
In the 84th minute, Schalke 04 pulled a goal back on Huntelaar.
2:3! They are only one goal behind!
Schalke 04 fans in the stands cheered and began to hope for a late equaliser.
After the goal, Huntelaar did not celebrate the goal, but rushed directly into the goal, picked up the football and ran back.
Time is now precious for Schalke 04.
Dortmund's side also became nervous all of a sudden, as if facing a great enemy.
At the last moment, Mark, the center forward, had retreated to the outside of the penalty area and was used as a midfielder.
Borussia Dortmund played a bit of a mess during this period, but fortunately, they managed to keep the win in the end.
Schalke 04 had too little time left to pull a goal back, and despite their best efforts, they couldn't score again.
could only lose to Dortmund with a regret of 2:3.
For the second time in a row, they lost in the Ruhr derby, and both on their own home turf.
"It's over!Borussia Dortmund beat Schalke 04 3-2 away!
The televised camera focused on Mark Wagner after the game.
"And in this game, the most eye-catching thing is the substitute Mark Wagner, who was substituted because of an accident in the game! His two goals after coming on the field helped Dortmund get this victory! Before the game, Mark was a nobody, and now, he is afraid that he will be popular all over Germany!"
Marcel Leif said with a smile.
"Once again, we enjoyed a goal to fame...... Oh no, sorry, it's not a one-goal fame, it's a two-goal fame! And such a good show is not uncommon in football, and every time it appears, it will make people's blood boil and their scalp tingle...... That's the beauty of football!"
Duan Xin, for his part, also praised Mark's performance, but although he also thought that Mark's performance was excellent, the two goals were crucial. But he thinks what is more critical is Zhou Yi's two passes.
Especially the second assist for Mark's kick, which was a brilliant long pass.
One less point will be ruined by Sarpe, one more point, and Mark will most likely not receive the ball.
Such a pass is almost like a work of art.
However, Zhou Yi himself didn't care what others said about his performance, and after the game, he rushed onto the court, ran to Mark, hugged him, hugged him, and celebrated the victory with him.
He doesn't think Mark's success has stolen the limelight.
Football is, after all, a team sport. No matter how strong a person is, without the right teammates, I am afraid it will be difficult to win all the time.

"Well done, Mark, have you done your autograph?" the rest of his teammates gathered around to celebrate the victory with Mark, and Grosskloitz patted him on the shoulder.
"No, no, no, the autograph is not important, the important thing is that Mark you have to remember that before you sign the fan, you must move your wrist fully and warm up. Zhou Yi passed on his experience in a serious manner.
Everyone laughed, they all remembered the treatment Zhou Yi enjoyed after last season's derby.
So Zhou Yi, this is really a real experience!
"I will, Zhou Yi, I will remember to put on the wrist cover and sign again...... Haha!" Mark was in a very good mood and made a joke about Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.
Afterwards, everyone applauded and thanked the fans who accompanied the team on the away game.
Mark was in it, looking up, because it was so far away that he couldn't see the faces of the people, but he believed his parents were there. Glad the son didn't let them down!
He hammered the Dortmund crest on his heart, then pointed to the cheering crowd of Dortmund fans in the stands.
In the crowd, Mrs. Wagner shouted loudly: "Mark, Mark, I'm proud of you!"
Other fans were chanting Mark's name: "Mark Wagner!!"
These fans are not organized by black and gold fans, and they don't know Mark before.
When Mrs. Wagner heard such a shout, she felt a sense of pride - my son, sooner or later, will become a big star known to everyone!

As Marcel Leif and Grosskloitz said, after this game, Marc Wagner, who was previously a nobody in German football, was suddenly mentioned by countless people all over Germany.
On television, the news anchor repeats again and again: "...... In a high-profile match, Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 3-2 away in the Ruhr derby, and the man who contributed to Dortmund was a little-known young player Mark Wagner......"
“...... Mark Wagner scored twice in the game and his performance was unexpected......"
“...... Look at this, look at this face, this is Mark Wagner, you see the way he came on the pitch, he looked sluggish...... It's funny...... But who would have thought that his two goals in the end would help Dortmund take three points away from home?"
"The most successful goal of the week in the league may have been the case of Borussia Dortmund youngster Mark Wagner......
"Our reporter stumbled upon a detail that Mark Wagner had been hit by Zhou Yi's pass during the pre-match warm-up. Such a funny performance attracted the ridicule of many Schalke 04 fans at the time. But in the end, the clown-like young man left Schalke 04 fans silent with two goals...... What a beautiful reversal!"
“...... Before this game, there were probably no more than 100 people in Germany who knew about Mark Wagner, and many of them were his relatives and friends. But now, I think at least a third of Germans have heard of his name......"
In addition to his name being mentioned again and again, his photos, videos of his goals, and pictures of him celebrating his goals also frequently appear in front of the public.
In fact, if you want to say how beautiful the two goals are, they are not world waves, but the last goal, the spoon is very beautiful, but this is not a wonderful goal that can make people shoot and shoot.
But the significance is significant.
The two winning goals in the Ruhr derby, even if they were both scored with their faces, no one dared to laugh at anything.
In the eyes of those who have a heart and know the ball, in fact, the value of Mark is not in the decisive and calm shots with those two feet, but in his previous running, why he can always run to the place, why can he always find space?
A reporter wrote in a later draft: "...... For Klopp, this game must have made him happy and sad. Happily winning the Ruhr derby thanks to a rookie's outstanding performance, it was Barrios who was injured. We don't yet know exactly what Barrios' injury is, maybe it's serious, maybe it's not serious. But no matter what, it will still have some impact on the team...... However, I think the joy is better than the sorrow, because even if Barrios was injured, Dortmund quickly found a replacement, which was Mark Wagner, who came off the bench in this game.
The quality he showed after being substituted was very high, and he cooperated with Zhou Yi and Gotze very tacitly, so tacit that it was as if the three of them were wearing a pair of pants. That's the first benefit, otherwise Klopp would have to worry about whether Barrios' replacement will be able to fit into the attacking mix quickly...... The second benefit is that Mark's own quality is great, his off-ball running in the game is amazing, both goals are due to his excellent off-ball running, although he is a central striker, he does not limit himself to the middle, but runs flexibly, wherever he is available......
Sum up. We don't think Jurgen Klopp should be too worried about Barrios' injury, as long as Mark can keep up with this kind of performance, maybe he can make people forget about Barrios for a while?
