In this list published on the official website, Mark Wagner is impressively listed!
He finally managed to stay in the first team through his own efforts, rather than the help of others.
What this means for Mark is not only that he can stay in the first team, but more importantly, it will boost his self-confidence.
Self-confidence is the most important thing.
When Zhou Yi first met Mark, he found that Mark's biggest problem was not physical fitness, nor technical level, but lack of self-confidence.
Now that he has worked hard to stay in the first team, Mark will definitely gain a huge amount of confidence, which will help him in the future.

Following the announcement of the respective squads, Germany's Kicker magazine gave a preview of the season during the transfer period.
Based on each team's existing players, analyze their prospects for the new season.
Among them, Bayern Munich is naturally the favorite to win the championship.
Although the German team finished third again at this World Cup in South Africa, their approach of focusing on young players was widely praised.
And Bayern Munich, as a major international player of the German national team, is not unreasonable to be favored. It's just that most of their main players have participated in the World Cup and will definitely feel tired, so the analysis suggests that Bayern Munich may lose to some little-known teams in the early part of the season. However, the article also believes that after the adjustment of the winter break, Bayern Munich should still be able to regain the leading Huangshan with its strong strength and rich experience in winning the championship.
Borussia Dortmund's sworn rival Schalke 04 has a very high standard backline, with the main goalkeeper of the German national team, Manuel Neuer, and the central midfield configuration of the quasi-German national team: Westermann, Pandel, Jones. But the problem with Schalke 04 was their attack, with Kuranyi being disobedient and Farfan embarrassed. The offense basically depends on Rakitic's performance, but no matter how good Rakitic is, he is only one person, and he can't support it alone.
Also in Group 1 is Werder Bremen.
Werder Bremen finished fourth last season, just four points off third-placed Schalke 04 and almost finished in the Champions League. However, "Kicker" is not very optimistic about Werder Bremen, because just as the league is about to start, they have lost the heart of the team, young German international Mesut Ozil. Real Madrid spent fifteen million euros to poach him. After the loss of Mesut Ozil, Werder Bremen's competitiveness in the league has dropped considerably.
And Dortmund, who finished second last season, is also not favored by "Kicker" this season. Because they also lost the core Shahin. Letting go of Shaheen was considered stupid by The Kicker. Although Shaheen brought them 16 million, look at the people they bought in the transfer market: an obscure Japanese of 300,000, a Polish striker who is not in the league, a backup goalkeeper from faraway Australia, a few free players and young people promoted from the second team.
Perhaps the most familiar of this in the Bundesliga is winger Piszczek, who previously played for Hertha Berlin, but the Pole has also been inconsistent with Hertha Berlin, sometimes good and sometimes bad, having spent six seasons at Hertha Berlin, three of which were spent on loan with a Polish First Division side called Lublin.
He only started playing at Hertha Berlin in the 2007-2008 season. At first, he played as a striker, but there were not many opportunities, and then he switched to winger.
Last season he was a regular at Hertha Berlin, making 31 appearances and scoring two goals. He also scored a goal in nine appearances in the Europa League.
As a result, Hertha Berlin was relegated last season, and he jumped from Hertha Berlin to Dortmund.
Looking at the guys Borussia Dortmund have brought in this season, Kicker thinks it's hard to have any confidence in their prospects.
Shahin is gone, although there is still Zhou Yi. But "Kicker" believes that Zhou Yi's outstanding performance last season was based on the fact that people didn't know enough about him. And after a season of good performances, he must have been studied thoroughly, so it will be difficult to think of any outstanding performances in the second season.
And "Kicker" also thinks that Zhou Yi's excellent performance last season has a lot to do with Shahin sharing a lot of pressure for him. Now that Sha Xin has left the team, the pressure is coming to Zhou Yi. In the game, he will be the target of the opponent's defense, and this time there is no Shahin to form a duo with him.
There is also a very fatal problem, that is, Zhou Yi's physical fitness. He was seldom able to play the full game last season, so how can he cope with the intensity of the league and the Champions League?
Once Zhou Yi does not perform well, Dortmund's results will also fluctuate.
Although Zhou Yi changed to play in the back midfield in the new season, and his performance in the warm-up game was not bad. However, "Kicker" believes that the intensity of the warm-up match cannot be compared with the official game at all, and Dortmund will play the Champions League this season, and the intensity of the Champions League is higher than that of the Bundesliga.
How does Zhou Yi cope?
Zhou Yi has to defend when he plays the back, right?
But his defensive level did not dare to compliment. If they don't defend, Dortmund is like a defensive midfielder in midfield, and it is easy to be penetrated by the opponent.
At this time, we have to talk about returning to Shahin's body. Shahin, as a midfielder, is also responsible for defense, and his defensive ability is much stronger than Zhou Yi......
So Zhou Yi changed to play in the back, and it seems that Klopp wants to use Zhou Yi to fill the gap left by Shahin. But Zhou Yi is not a professional defender after all, he has always played in the front midfield, and there will definitely be some incompatibility and inadaptability.
It is too risky to put the treasure on such a person. It's hard for "Kicker" to be optimistic about Dortmund's performance in the new season. Perhaps there will be times when they will be able to burst into a strong fight and rise to the top of the league standings. But the league is a marathon, and in this long process, Dortmund will not be able to maintain stability and will be left behind sooner or later.
After analyzing and analyzing, the final conclusion is that Bayern Munich will continue to maintain a large advantage in the league, and the other teams in the first group may not all be abandoned if they want to pose a certain threat to Bayern Munich in the league. Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 may not be a good thing to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Because fighting on two fronts will greatly distract them. And the Bundesliga team, except for Bayern Munich, no other team has experience in fighting on two fronts. Historically, there have been too many examples of other Bundesliga teams playing in European competitions and ending up in the domestic league as a mess.
The most recent example is Hertha Berlin last season, the capital team played in the Europa League last season and broke into the knockout stage, but in the league, Hertha Berlin finished last and was relegated!
Therefore, Dortmund's performance in the Champions League is also likely to be a drag on their performance in the league, ultimately leading to a lack of basketballs this season.

As a well-known professional magazine in Germany, Kicker's analysis was quickly picked up by the Chinese media.
After the reprint, it set off a big debate on the Internet.
There are a lot of people who support "Kicker" and support Zhou Yi.
Those who support "Kicker" believe that they should not be blindly optimistic, blind optimism is harmful to Zhou Yi, honestly admit their shortcomings, and improve them, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
And those who support Zhou Yi think that "Kicker" is purely black and black, which is groundless, and everyone sees Zhou Yi's performance in the warm-up game. If you perform well in the game, you will say that the intensity of the warm-up game is not enough, and it is not as good as the official game with real guns. So if the warm-up game is not good, why not say that it is to preserve the strength of the official competition?
This is simply a double standard. It must be Zhou Yi's outstanding performance that some people can't get used to.
The two sides have been bickering online in China. At that time, Weibo was opened just before the World Cup, and the use of the World Cup was well known. And this battle happened to break out on Weibo, and the Weibo official was behind the scenes, which was a hot topic and official propaganda......
Let more people know about this controversy, and also take the opportunity to stir up the atmosphere of Weibo, attracting a large number of new users to enter.
For Weibo, this is a successful marketing case.
A reporter told Zhou Yi about the quarrel between domestic fans because of the season preview of "Kicker", and Zhou Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect it.
"Can this be a quarrel?" he asked the reporter in surprise.
"Well, the fans who speak for you are defined as your 'brainless fans'. The reporter said.
Hearing this word, Zhou Yi laughed, and smiled happily: "That's good! I also have brainless fans! It's good, thank you." ”
The reporter felt that Zhou Yi's focus didn't seem to be right, and hurriedly reminded him: "Then what do you think of the analysis of "Kicker"?"
"This ...... Analysis, just like stock reviews, just listen to it, ha!" Zhou Yi said with a smile, a tone that didn't care at all.
"So you think 'Kicker's analysis is wrong?" the reporter followed.
"The same cannot be said. "Zhou Yi was not fooled. "Their arguments are all valid. But the argument is wrong, so no matter how correct the argument is, it's useless, right?"
He asked the reporter rhetorically, and the reporter didn't know how to answer...... He was a passer, and he made a beautiful pass in the blink of an eye.
"So you're still quite confident?" asked another reporter.
Zhou Yi nodded without hesitation this time: "That's right." Why should I not have confidence in myself?"
It was another beautiful rhetorical pass, and the reporter couldn't speak.
Zhou Yi asked the reporters with a smile: "Do you have any questions?"
"......" Everyone looked at each other, and no one asked any more questions.
Zhou Yi's rhetorical question has directly killed all topics, what else is there to ask?
"Goodbye everybody, then. Seeing that no one asked, Zhou Yi waved politely to everyone and left.
Looking at Zhou Yi's back getting farther and farther away, a group of Chinese reporters gathered together, still looking at each other, not knowing what to say about this matter and this person.
Zhou Yi's last sentence actually makes a lot of sense - if Zhou Yi didn't have confidence in himself, he wouldn't have been able to perform like last season at Dortmund.
It's just that this kind of self-confidence is somewhat justifiable, which inevitably gives people the impression of "not being modest enough". China, on the other hand, attaches great importance to personal cultivation, and modesty is an important part of personal cultivation.
If you want to say that Zhou Yi is impolite and uneducated, it is not right, people have always been very patient with reporters and fans, and they rarely put on a show, giving people the feeling that they are very easy to contact young people.
But only in football, he showed a completely different side.
I really don't know what mood to use to face him......
※※※
After Zhou Yi's response was transmitted back to China by the media, many reporters also reacted like that on the Internet, that is, although Zhou Yi's words were correct, was that attitude too direct?
Will you die if you are a little more modest?
Of course, Zhou Yi's supporters are very happy - why don't people become famous at a young age?
Besides, our family Zhou Yi has such strength, what's wrong with not being modest?
He doesn't need to think about the mood of others, especially those who hacked him!
If you don't have strength, it's called arrogance, and if you have strength, it's called seeking truth from facts!
To be honest, do you still have to consider the feelings of the weak?
However, football is not a game to be won by lip service, so in the end, it still has to fall into the game itself.
No matter how beautiful the words are, if you can't win the game, then those words you said before will become a slap in the face.
This is football, in fact, there are not so many empty things, the winner takes all, the winner is king.
