After having a special "special training" with Mark, Zhou Yi's current life has become like this: he trains at the Bracker training base every day, goes home for an hour of German learning at night, and then goes to Mark's room for special training.

He would keep telling Mark how to run and how to catch his pass during the game.

Thanks to the game for its playback function. Press pause if necessary, and then enter playback to reproduce the running position situation of both sides from various angles.

It's like watching a technically processed game video.

This also led to them not having many games in one night.

In this process, Mark gradually adapted to Zhou Yi's way of playing football, and his outstanding tactical awareness and running talent were also reflected.

He was no longer as busy as he was at the beginning, and the two gradually formed a tacit understanding in the game.

Under their control, Dortmund won the first season of the league and qualified to participate in the Champions League next season.

And at this time, the most important festival in the West, the annual Christmas, has arrived.

In fact, when Zhou Yi goes to the training base every day, he can already feel the atmosphere of the festival.

There are obviously more Christmas decorations on the road, and Christmas lanterns and balls are hung in the windows in the shop.

The music of "Christmas Song" began to appear on Old Wagner's in-car radio.

In short, all this makes people feel like the holiday.

Chinese people pay attention to missing their relatives more during festivals.

For Zhou Yi, this was the first real festival he spent abroad. He came to Dortmund at the end of November and spent a month here. 2008 was about to pass.

In a foreign country, he lived a happy life most of the time and had a bright future.

But under the festive atmosphere, he would inevitably miss his father and mother, and the small room that was not big but filled with things and memories. He thought about his time in a domestic school, classmates and his students.

If he is in China, what should he do at this time?

Let’s discuss with your classmates where to go on Christmas Eve?

Busy to receive Christmas cards and show off to each other the gifts they received.

...

I usually have good time with my teammates, training, chatting, and joking, but I can't feel it.

Only when you are lying in bed at night and are alone, will Zhou Yi feel this feeling from the bottom of his heart.

Although he would call his parents for less than ten minutes every week at a fixed time, his longing for his family was still uncontrollable when the festive atmosphere was filled with.

Especially when he returned to Mark's house after a day of training, Zhou Yi saw the Christmas tree standing in his living room.

Mrs. Wagner was hanging colorful lights on the tree on a ladder.

Seeing her son coming back, she waved to her: "Come and help, Mark!"

Mark threw down his bag and replaced his mother. Zhou Yi also went up to help.

The two of them worked hard for a while and hung up all the colorful lights to hang.

Then everyone stood under the tree and looked up at the Christmas tree.

"Perfect!" Mrs. Wagner clapped her hands with a smile. "We'll have a big meal tonight!"

"Isn't Christmas Eve yet?" Mark was surprised.

"Idiot, this is to thank the two gentlemen who helped!" Mrs. Wagner said with a smile.

"Mom, you are so nice!" Mark hugged Mrs. Wagner happily and kissed her fiercely on the face.

Seeing the true feelings between Mark and his mother and his mother, Zhou Yi naturally thought of him and his mother.

Although his mother was very strict with him, he felt very stressed. However, when he left his hometown and came to Dortmund, he could no longer hear his mother's strict demands on him, he began to miss his strict mother.

Now looking at the scene in front of you, there was no smile on Zhou Yi's face.

Until the meal, although it was a sumptuous meal, as Mrs. Wagner said, Zhou Yi was tasteless and had no interest, and seemed relatively silent at the dining table.

And after finishing the meal early, I went upstairs after saying goodbye.

The three people on the leftover dining table looked at each other.

"Mark, don't you think Zhou Yi is wrong?" Mrs. Wagner asked her son because Mark was the person who had the most contact with Zhou Yi.

"It seems to be a little...but I can't guess why." Mark scratched his head.

"Idiot!" Mom cursed, "Zhou Yi misses home! We have such a lively festival here, he will definitely miss home."

Older people have experience.

Old Wagner also nodded beside him and said, "Yes."

"I think that if we have a more lively festival, it may make Zhou Yi less homesick, but now it seems that Chinese people are more homesick than we think." Mrs. Wagner sighed. "Mark, don't stay at home to play games at night. Take Zhou Yi out for a walk and let him relax."

Mrs. Wagner is a very enthusiastic and good person. She not only cares about Zhou Yi's diet and daily life, but also cares about Zhou Yi's psychological condition.

Mark was stunned at first, then nodded: "Okay!"

※※※

Zhou Yi, who returned to the room, even if he wanted to call his family to relieve his emotions of homesickness, he couldn't do it, because it was eight o'clock in the evening in Germany and three o'clock in the morning in China the next day. His parents had already fallen asleep. At this time, because he missed home, he called to wake them up and then made them unable to sleep all night. He was too selfish.

So Zhou Yi just sat in his room and stared blankly.

At this time, the door was knocked.

"Please come in." Zhou Yi quickly adjusted his emotions and said.

Mark pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hi, Zhou Yi. Let's go out to play in the evening, I'll take you to a good place!"

"Ah?" Zhou Yi didn't react.

"Bar! A bar where beauties gather! Go or not!" Mark looked excited.

"Go!" When Zhou Yi heard that the beauties gathered, he immediately threw away the homesickness. After all, young people...

※※※

Zhou Yi and Mark stood in a long dragon with their necks shrank, and from time to time they leaned forward and looked at a few more people in, how long will it take for them to go in.

Dortmund is located in northwest Germany. It was still very cold at the end of December. Zhou Yi was reluctant to take out his hands and just copied them in his jacket pocket.

"This is not interesting at all, Mark." Zhou Yi complained after waiting in the long dragon for ten minutes. He began to miss the warm room and the PS3.

"What's wrong?" Mark had no feeling of Zhou Yi at all. He looked around excitedly, following the beautiful women with outstanding figures. The beauties either came in groups or had male companions, walked past them, and then... walked straight into the bar entrance in front of them.

"I really don't know that I'll have to wait so long to go to a bar in Germany."

"Isn't this normal? Unless you have a VIP card, or you are a woman, or you have a female companion. Do you have these?"

"If I want to have a female companion, I won't live in your house!" Zhou Yi snorted.

"Prefer color over friend!"

The two were chatting, but suddenly Mark stopped talking and stared at a certain direction. Zhou Yi thought he had seen another beauty, but then he saw someone familiar to him.

Among the three people who came towards him, one of the tall ones was Zhou Yi’s “old acquaintance”. To be precise, he was the “old acquaintance” in the virtual system.

Before challenging the Dortmund youth team, Zhou Yi fought with him dozens of times in the world of FIFAOL3.

Schneider was the main striker of Dortmund's U17 youth team at that time, but now he is a member of the U19.

Schneider seemed to have seen an acquaintance, and suddenly turned around and walked towards Zhou Yi.

However, his eyes did not stop on Zhou Yi's face, and he didn't even scan it, so he walked straight towards Mark.

"Oh, isn't this Mark?" Schneider laughed, and looked back at his two companions, so the companions laughed as well.

But Mark had no joy in meeting acquaintances at all. He raised his face and moved his eyes away without even looking at Schneider.

"I'm still queuing here stupidly? Do you want me to take you in? I have a VIP card!" Schneider shook a card in his hand.

Just as Mark was about to open his mouth, Schneider laughed again: "Oh, I'm just talking casually, how could I take you in? If that happens, maybe even I will be blocked by the security guard! Hahaha!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with a laugh, and the two companions around him also laughed and followed behind his butt.

Zhou Yi noticed that Mark clenched his fists, stared at their backs, and watched the three of them walk to the front of the team. Then Schneider shook the card in his hand and was put in by the security guard.

"That's... Schneider?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Yes." Mark took a deep breath, exhaled this breath, and then let go of his fist, with helplessness in his voice.

"You guys don't have a good relationship? But aren't you guys who have been together in the same team since U9?"

"We have good relationships and bad relationships," Mark said. "We are all forwards, and we are originally competitive. At the beginning, when Schneider had not started to develop, our physical fitness was similar. I was the main force, and he was my substitute. Later, when he began to grow rapidly, he surpassed me in physical fitness, and I became his substitute. Until now... His development is getting better and better, not only as the main force in U17, but also jumped from U17 to U19, and I..."

Mark didn't continue to talk about it because it was no longer necessary to say what was going on with him now.

Anyway, he is so pressured by Schneider that he can't raise his head at all. Facing Schneider, he is not just a dwarf from his height.

"So that's it..." Zhou Yi stared at the door of the bar, thinking, and then patted Mark on the shoulder: "It's okay, Mark, we will let him be your substitute again sooner or later!"

After hearing Zhou Yi say this, Mark was a little surprised: "How is this possible?"

"Don't forget our 'special training' and 'special training'!" Zhou Yi reminded him.
