The final warm-up game was over, and Mark scored twice in the game, which ended his warm-up game with such a good performance, and naturally won himself the opportunity to start the next game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the next match, in the fifteenth round of the U17 Western League, Borussia Dortmund U17 hosted Schalke 04's U17.

This is the "Ruhr derby" between the Under-17 youth teams.

In the world of football, there is a saying that "no derby, no football". It can be seen that the "derby" plays an important role in football.

"Derby" is first and foremost a British place name, but it is probably best known as a sports term.

To put it simply, a derby can mean some kind of parity and geopolitical confrontation.

For example, if there are two teams in a certain city, then the confrontation between them will be called a "derby".

But if the strength of the two teams is too different, then the derby is not interesting, such as AC Milan and Inter Milan, the two teams that belong to Milan, the competition is called the "Milan derby". But if it's a match between AC Milan and one of the lower divisions in the Milan city, it's technically a local derby, but no one pays attention to it.

Because the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.

Therefore, the valued derby must meet two conditions, the strength is evenly matched, or you can't think too much, and it has to be in the same area.

Of course, the latter condition is more lenient and is completely subject to change according to the needs of the gimmick.

Within the same city, it can be called a "local derby", in the same region, it can be called a "regional derby", in the same country, it can be called a "national derby", and in the same Europe, it can be called a "European derby". Even if two teams are in the same direction in the same city, it can be called a "north London derby......

But in any case, as long as it's a derby, it's going to be a big hit, and there's a lot of stuff outside of football.

When teenagers are simple, they always think that football should be simple and simple, not involving politics and money, but when teenagers grow up, they will find that football, politics and money are a natural symbiosis, especially in the derby, which is more vividly reflected.

For example, the world's most famous "time-honored derby", Glasgow, Scotland, Rangers vs. Celtic, every collision between these two sworn enemies in the same city is not only football, but also involves political demands and religious beliefs, which is really "not about life and death, but higher than life and death".

In Germany, although Bayern Munich is the most famous, in Germany, the most fierce derby has little to do with Bayern Munich.

Because it was the "Ruhr derby" between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04.

Even, after Munich 1860 withdrew from the Bundesliga stage, the only truly heavyweight derby in the entire Bundesliga is the Ruhr mining derby.

Because both teams are located in the Ruhr zone of Germany, the match between these two teams is known as the "Ruhr derby".

Unlike Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the contradiction between the rich and the poor, the contradiction of the Ruhr derby is a "civil war" - whether it is Dortmund or Schalke 04, they are both teams that came out of the mines, their supporters are all miners, they are all working people, there is no class contradiction.

But the two sides still hate each other so much, and this is a regional contradiction.

Borussia Dortmund FC is located in the city of Dortmund, while Schalke 04 is located in the Schalke district of the city of Gelsenkirchen.

The two clubs are only a few tens of kilometers apart, and the location is very close.

In such a close area, there are two top teams, one for the Tigers?

Naturally, the head was broken and bleeding.

Every year, the first team matches between the two clubs are the most eye-catching, and the world follows them all over the world.

As a youth team game, although not so attention-grabbing, but the intensity is not low, the grievances between the two teams extend from ordinary fans to the players, many youth team players are supporters of their respective teams, and when they see mortal enemies, they must be enemies.

When Zhou Yi entered the world of FIFAOL3, he found that his new opponent, the Schalke 04 youth team, had entered the ranks of those who could choose to be the opponent.

Of course he's going to choose to play a game.

This system works well for a midfield commander like him, that is, he can know the opponent's intelligence in advance, and he has enough time to study the opponent.

He did this in these warm-up games, although it was a warm-up game, but he still studied his opponents seriously and then played against them.

It's an official competition, and it's even less likely that he'll be slacking off.

However, when he started to check Schalke 04U17's roster, he suddenly noticed that there was a name in a large number of German names that was completely incorrect.

muge_yang。

Mugeyang?

Shepherd?

Depend on!

Zhou Yi's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.

Isn't this Yang Muge!

Old Yang!

Lao Yang actually went to Schalke 04!?

Zhou Yi was really surprised and delighted.

I heard Sun Pan say that a German club took a fancy to Yang Muge, but he never thought it would be Schalke 04!

He thought it might be Bayern Munich. After all, they have played against Bayern Munich's youth team, and it is normal to be watched.

But I didn't expect it to be Schalke 04, who couldn't beat the original show......

How did this team see Yang Muge's performance?

Zhou Yi had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't plan to get up from the bed right now, and then call Yang Muge to ask what was going on.

Because he doesn't have Yang Muge's contact information in Germany at all.

When it was time for the game, he had to ask Lao Yang why he came to Schalke 04.

At the same time, he also thought that if Lao Yang can also enter the first team of Schalke 04 in the future, will he and him be able to have a Ruhr derby between Chinese players?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to have a youth team-level Ruhr derby with Yang Muge in the virtual world now!

Although it was a youth team-level competition, in Mark's house, Zhou Yi had already felt this atmosphere from all aspects.

When the family sits down to dinner, the discussion is limited to this game, and Mark's parents will frequently refer to Schalke 04, not only in the youth team, but also in the first team.

And there is a lot of disdain for this team in words.

Whenever they said that, Cortana, who was sitting at the table, would have a look of helplessness.

Although it is not very obvious, it was discovered by Zhou Yi, who is good at observing life.

Cortana, who is not a fan, is obviously speechless about this extreme emotion among fans.

While the Wagners said bad things about Schalke 04, they did not forget to cheer up Mark.

Although all they said were words of encouragement such as "Mark, you must not be nervous", "Mark, you play normally", "Mark, we all believe in you".

But after being processed by Mark's ears and brain, the final analysis results made Mark look very nervous - in such an important game, if he didn't perform well, then no matter how many warm-up goals he had before, it might be useless!

Seeing that his younger brother was so nervous, Cortana set his eyes on Zhou Yi, and he found that the expression on Zhou Yi's face was much calmer, and he was even peeking at himself, and when he saw that he had found it, he quickly turned his eyes away.

This kid......

After Christmas, Cortana also secretly reflected.

Did I go too far that time, for a young boy who came to China, was that kind of action too impactful?

But after doing everything, do you still want her to go to Zhou Yi to explain and ask him not to think about it?

Cortana would never have done anything like that.

"Okay Mom, if you keep talking, Mark won't even be able to eat this meal. Cortana stopped her mother's nagging.

Mrs. Wagner then noticed that her son was already nervous.

So she hurriedly tried to make amends: "Ah, son, don't take what I just said to heart. You kick whatever you want, it doesn't matter what you kick!"

The subtext of this to Mark's ears is "We don't have hope in you anyway, so we don't care what you play......

It was a fatal blow.

Hearing his mother say this, Mark pushed the plate: "I'm full!"

Then he went upstairs alone with his head down.

Cortana shrugged at her mother.

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Mark, it was the first time in more than a month that he had seen Mark have such a performance. He thought that the successive goals in the warm-up game should have made Mark say goodbye to his lack of confidence completely.

The first official match was the Ruhr derby between the youth teams, and it was really embarrassing for Mark......

※ ※ ※

The match against Schalke 04 was fast approaching.

On the day of the race, Mark and Zhou Yi set off from home, and this time Cortana also set off from home, so there was no need to worry about being late.

In fact, these days, because Mark is about to have the most important game of his life, his sister Cortana goes home every day.

Five people filled the old Wagner's not-so-spacious Audi.

The three young people sat in the back seat, Zhou Yi by the window, Mark sat in the middle, and Cortana did the other side.

Fortunately, none of the three of them are very fat, otherwise Mark and Zhou Yi may miss the game because the car they were riding in was too small on the way to the game, and they were unable to move, and their knees and ankles were in a position for a long time and strained their ligaments.

That's pretty tragic......

Sitting in the car to Bracker's training base, Mark still looked a little nervous, or rather, he was even more nervous as the game approached.

I was so nervous that my hands were shaking.

Seeing him like this, Cortana smiled and said to her brother, "Marc, you see, my advice is correct, right? It's just a youth level Ruhr derby, and it makes you so nervous, what will you do when you get to the first team? Isn't that so nervous that you can't play?"

The smile on her face made people think she was trying to comfort her brother, but the words she said were not very good.

"Cortana!" the mother sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but scold. "The Ruhr derby is extraordinary!"

"It was just a game. Cortana shrugged. "The most unusual game is only 90 minutes ......"

"There are also one hundred and twenty minutes. Zhou Yi added.

Cortana glanced at him.

Under Cortana's gaze, Zhou Yi continued: "If you count the penalty shootout, then the time is even longer. Uh, I'm just making an illustration. ”

"Thanks for the explanation. The expression on Cortana's face was not visible at all, as if she was sincerely grateful to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi also waved his hand as if he couldn't understand her expression at all: "No thanks!"

Cortana was really out of temper with Zhou Yi, so she had to continue to say to her younger brother: "So Mark, reconsider my sister's suggestion, you are not material for professional football." ”

I thought that Mark would be hit by Cortana, but after hearing what his sister said, Mark suddenly shouted indignantly: "No!

Zhou Yi noticed that Mark's hand was still shaking, but the tremor was not as obvious as before.

He suddenly had a guess about Cortana and looked up at Cortana.

But Cortana completely ignored Zhou Yi, twisted her face away, and looked out the window at the scene that was speeding backwards.
