When Mark and his teammates warmed up at the Schalke Stadium, the stadium was already full of people, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains were full of Schalke 04 fans in blue jerseys. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And what about Dortmund fans?

Barely visible.

There is a saying in the Ruhr area that the fans of Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund are so hostile to each other that neither wants to go to each other's stadiums...... So no matter which team plays away, the support they can get is extremely limited.

Zhou Yi doesn't know if this statement is true, but when he participated in the Ruhr derby with the team last season, at Schalke 04's home stadium, it was indeed rare to see Dortmund fans, even if a small number of them, they were placed in the worst position, away from the stadium.

From the beginning of the warm-up of the players of both sides, the fans of Schalke 04 continued to declare their supremacy over the stadium with various songs and cheers. That small group of Dortmund fans, don't want to make any noise in this stadium.

"This is the Ruhr derby...... "Mark stuttered a little as he looked up at the stadium stands.

"Are you alright, Mark?" Zhou Yi noticed the strangeness of his friends around him and asked.

"Return, return...... Okay......" Mark continued to stammer.

Zhou Yi could hear it, this was not a stutter, it was the result of Mark's uncontrolled lips - his upper and lower teeth were constantly fighting.

"Are you sure, Mark? Zhou Yi pointed at Mark and said.

Mark hurriedly closed his mouth tightly, his voice was gone, and then he looked at Zhou Yi and told Zhou Yi with his eyes, "It's okay."

However, when the warm-up began, Zhou Yi found that Mark was not really "well".

He didn't seem very focused in the warm-up, and his eyes would always glance up and down the stands.

This kind of looking around is not the same as Zhou Yi's looking around. Because Zhou Yi is habitually looking around, Mark rarely does this when he warms up before the game. Suddenly, it means that he is not normal.

Even Mark's parents in the stands could see it.

"What is Mark doing?" complained Mrs. Wagner anxiously.

"He's looking for you?" guessed Daddy Bruno.

"I don't think so, he should know what area we are, but he's ......looking around," Mrs. Wagner scolded, "this bastard! If you don't warm up seriously, even if you have the opportunity to play, you won't be able to take it!"

She was angry at her son, who was not angry.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she simply raised her fist and yelled at Mark in the court: "Focus! Damn, what are you looking at!"

It's a pity that her voice can't stand out at all under the huge background sound.

And her son was still looking around in a daze......

"It's useless......" Bruno pulled Mrs. Ravner.

Mrs. Wagner also realized this, and she sighed: "Alas, I really want to rush up and slap him in the face!"

※※※

Mrs. Wagner's reminders were of no avail, so he could only be in a hurry, but someone helped him out......

Zhou Yi, who found that Mark was distracted, was a little far away from him at this time, and he was not by his side, and in the huge and noisy singing over the Schalke Stadium, it was impossible for him to remind Mark by yelling.

But how could he not think of a solution?

He smacked the ball forward with his feet and then got straight to his feet...... Long pass!

The ball made an arc in the air, flew over a distance of almost thirty meters, and hit the ...... accurately Mark's face!

With a "bang", the bridge of Mark's nose, which was still looking around, was smashed and deformed.

Mark was also caught off guard, his body shook, his neck leaned back, and he almost fell to the ground, waving his arms to maintain the balance of his upper body.

It's just that this makes him a little embarrassed and funny......

※※※

"Oh, it hurts!" muttered Bruno, frowning somewhat exaggeratedly.

Mrs. Wagner next to her slapped Zhou Yi and applauded: "Well done, Zhou Yi!

"Ah, what a mother......" Bruno sighed, and then he continued to frown, "I hope this will work for him." ”

Schalke 04 fans at the scene also noticed what was happening on Dortmund's side, and when Mark was hit by Zhou Yi's kick in the front door, there was a burst of laughter in the stands.

"Look at that idiot at number forty-five! Hahaha! I was shot in the face by my teammates when I was warming up!"

"What a beautiful 'faceball'!"

"Oooo

The Schalke 04 fans, who warmed up half in Dortmund and were close to the pitch, kept grimacing, raised their middle fingers, and shouted at Mark.

※※※

Borussia Dortmund assistant coach Bovac and manager Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines also noticed the scene.

Mark was hit in the face by Zhou Yi and then covered his nose and lowered his head, looking very painful.

"Ah, what a shame......" Klopp turned his face sideways, as if he didn't want to see such an embarrassed picture of his own men, which made him a little embarrassed. "What is he doing?"

'Maybe it's too nervous, it's a Ruhr derby, after all. Bouis said.

"I've already regretted putting him in my squad. Klopp pouted.

In such an important and crucial game, his own players had such a stupid and funny performance before the game even started, which made him think that it would greatly affect the morale of the team.

Football practitioners will have some superstitions to a greater or lesser extent, such as what "lucky tie" and "lucky shirt" are very marketable in football.

Klopp is not immune.

Something that seems inconsequential to others may be a "sign" in his mind. For example, Mark's embarrassing performance just now made Klopp have a shadow in his heart.

If Borussia Dortmund do lose this derby away from home, then Klopp will definitely feel a little uncomfortable with Mark.

Human beings are sentient animals, and it is inevitable that there will be prejudice when they have feelings.

Anyway, now, Klopp is a little prejudiced against Mark......

Mark, who had been hit in the face, leaned down with his nose covered, completely oblivious to who had kicked him. When he rubbed his nose and stood up again, although there were tears in his eyes, he still saw Zhou Yi who was looking at him.

He immediately understood who had kicked the kick and ...... What's the point.

He covered his nose, the sour feeling made him keep squeezing his eyebrows, and at the same time he gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up, thanking him for his beautiful ...... Long passing.

Now he's not that nervous.

Although he could hear the Schalke 04 fans laughing at him ten metres behind him.

But he really wasn't that nervous.

Cortana, dressed in low-key black and wearing a black cap and a pair of exaggerated black sunglasses under the brim, stood in the middle of a group of Schalke 04 fans dressed in blue.

She originally wanted to keep a low profile, looking directly at her dress with blond hair and a towering nose bridge, beautiful chin and red lips, which would always provoke the people around her to look at her a few more times, and muttered in her heart, is it a big star dressed up to watch the game......

Cortana could feel the doubtful gazes, but she couldn't tell if she was bitter.

She asked Hannah to help her buy a ticket, but Hannah finally called herself and said that it was really difficult to buy, and in the end, she only had a scalper ticket, which was twice as expensive, not to mention, it was still in the camp of Schalke 04 fans.

Hannah asked if she would like to think about it.

To Hannah's surprise, Cortana finally asked for it!

Cortana, who had asked for a ticket, was now in the area where the Schalke 04 fans were.

And in a position relatively close to the pitch...... No wonder the ticket price is high! A favorite spot for those crazy die-hard fans.

It's a pity that Cortana is not a crazy die-hard fan, and it is somewhat violent to stand in her current position......

Cortana was not surprised to see her brother's behavior just now, nor was she as anxious and angry as her mother.

Because in Cortana's opinion, her brother is not the material for playing football at all. If you are an amateur, your level is okay, but if you want to be a professional player and rely on football for your whole life, I am afraid that you will have more than enough energy to eat......

The younger brother's performance just now is a good proof of Cortana's evaluation of him, so there is nothing surprising about it.

Her parents had always been looking forward to her brother becoming a professional player in the first team, but Cortana felt that the higher she climbed, the more pressure it would be for her brother, how could her brother, who had never lacked confidence, cope with it?

Not all dreams are as wonderful and pleasant as heaven, and what you feel at the moment of realizing your dreams is probably not the "climax" of angels lingering around you and fairy music fluttering, but ...... After ascending to the clouds, there is no place to go, and then quickly falling and shattering on solid ground.
