Zhou Yi's goal gave Dortmund the first lead in this game, but a goal lead was not an advantage in the game, especially in the derby against motivation.

So when you think about it, you all know that Schalke 04 will definitely counterattack violently in the game, striving to equalize the score again, or even overtake the score.

Schalke 04 will definitely be very anxious at this time.

So this requires Dortmund to make corresponding rhythm changes.

Change is also very simple - you have to be fast, right? Then I will force you to slow down the pace.

When Zhou Yi got the football, he no longer passed the ball forward, but instead passed more crosses and back passes, and then used the running position to receive the pass from his teammates.

When the teammates passed the football over, they looked at the next pass goal in advance, and quickly passed the football out after receiving the ball.

This is a move to avoid being entangled by the opponent's defensive players, and also slow down the pace of the game a little bit.

Schalke 04U19's players were a little impatient after falling behind and their feet became much more powerful.

As Dortmund's pass and control core, Zhou Yi was kicked several times, no matter how fast he was, and he was overthrown on the ground countless times. Anyway, his jersey was dyed with earth-brown.

The referee's whistle kept ringing and the game was interrupted frequently.

Every time Zhou Yi fell to the ground, Mrs. Wagner in the stands exclaimed nervously.

"Mom..." Cortana looked at her mother helplessly, "It's just a ball. Can you not be so shocked?"

"Aren't you worried about Zhou Yi?" Mrs. Wagner glared at her daughter.

"Worry about him?" Cortana forced his urge to roll his eyes in front of his mother. "He is very cunning. You see, he fell so badly, but there is nothing wrong with him, he just has an exaggerated movement."

"It's okay? Is it okay if I'm falling blue?"

"That's grass juice, mom," Cortana explained. "He fell down very exaggeratedly, which is also a kind of self-protection... Of course, there may be suspicion of fake falls. In short, he has nothing to do now, so you don't have to worry too much."

Mrs. Wagner didn't believe what her daughter said. She still clenched her fists, shrugged her shoulders, shrank her neck, and looked at the court nervously. When Zhou Yi was hit, she would tremble involuntarily, as if she had been hit.

Although Cortana was not as nervous as her mother, her eyes narrowed slightly and stared at Zhou Yi.

Yebala, who was still happy about Zhou Yi's goal before, is now unable to be happy.

It is obvious that Schalke 04's players are targeting Zhou Yi.

I can't continue to leave him on the court. Even if his physical fitness can keep him for 80 minutes or 90 minutes, I have to replace him now.

If Zhou Yi is injured, in Yebala's opinion, the loss is much greater than losing a Ruhr derby.

Zhou Yi has conquered the picky Yebala with his passing ability and excellent control of the game situation, and has also won the trust of his teammates. He is now the well-deserved core of Dortmund U19. The core cannot be easily injured.

So in the 77th minute, Zhou Yi was replaced by Yebala.

With three assists and one goal, Zhou Yi's performance was simply not better.

After Zhou Yi left the court, Dortmund U19 began to shrink its defense, and at the same time, with the cooperation of Gotze and Mark in the frontcourt, he used some counterattacks to threaten Schalke 04's goal and prevent their defense from pressing up unscrupulously.

It's strange to say that Jinchek is one of the main strikers, but he and Gotze are not as good as Mark.

This may be because Mark is more flexible and has a richer style of playing football, while Jinchek, who is 1.88 meters tall, is still a slightly traditional center forward.

Mark is not a traditional center forward. He runs nimblely, can hold the ball under his feet, shoot, and pass the ball to his teammates.

These characteristics make it easier for him and Gotze to cooperate with each other.

Even without Zhou Yi, Mark's performance is not bad.

Although he did not continue to score, Mark's role can no longer be measured by a simple goal.

In the end, Dortmund U19 was united in the defense and harassment of Gotze and Mark on the front line, and finally defeated Schalke 04 4:3 away, winning the U19-level Ruhr derby.

In this way, they also completed a double kill against Schalke 04U19 in the U19 league this season - in the eighth round of the first half of the league, Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 2:1 at his home court.

After the game, Schalke 04 fans in the stands left the court one after another, and the echelon players who watched the game on the sidelines quickly disappeared. Losing the game made them a little depressed and they were unwilling to stay here for too long.

In the U17 level confrontation, Dortmund is not as good as Schalke 04, and in the U19 level, Schalke 04 is not as good as Dortmund.

The competition between these two arch rivals is comprehensive and penetrates every echelon.

The Dortmund players who won the ball were very happy. They couldn't wait to start celebrating in the locker room, and kept celebrating on the bus.

The happiest person is Mark.

He never expected to be able to play in this game before the game.

Unexpectedly, he not only came on as a substitute, but also scored two goals and one assist in the game, which was the key figure in the team's final turnaround.

The results of hard practice for more than a month are concentrated in this game. What you gain is not only the joy of winning, but also the confidence.

The greatest effect of this confidence on Mark is to make him realize that the path he has adhered to is correct now, so if you continue to persevere like this, you will inevitably lead to the other side where your dream is!

After the bus arrived at Brakel's training base, the team was disbanded. Because of winning this Ruhr derby, the harsh Yebala rarely gave the team a vacation. Any players who participated in the game were not used to train at the training base tomorrow. Those who did not participate in the game still had to undergo restorative training.

Zhou Yi and Mark went home directly at Bracker training base called Mark's father. Old Wagner drove the car behind the Dortmund team's bus, driving from Schalke to Bracker.

In the car, Mrs. Wagner kept praising her son and Zhou Yi, praising their performance.

The two children were in a good mood, and along the way, there were laughter and joy in the car. Since Mark was promoted to U19, this has been the best family atmosphere.

As usual, after winning the ball, the Mark family and Zhou Yi went to the restaurant they often went to for dinner, celebrated their victory, and then returned home.

When Zhou Yi was holding a towel and changing clothes to go to the bathroom to take a hot shower, Cortana leaned against her door, staring at Zhou Yi with her hands wrapped around her chest, and her eyes moved with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi noticed Cortana's gaze and simply stopped and turned around and asked her: "Am I handsome?"

Cortana yelled: "Mystery."

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"Nothing, I just want to give you some advice, Asian boy."

“What suggestions?”

"Soak in cold water."

"Hey, I have no grudge with you, right?" Zhou Yi asked in surprise when he heard this suggestion.

"What does it mean?" Cortana didn't understand.

"Then do you let me take a shower with cold water?"

Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Cortana finally rolled her eyes: "Seeing a cold bath after being injured can speed up your injury recovery... Don't say you are not injured."

Zhou Yi's mouth, which had just opened, closed again.

He was indeed injured, not only the bruises that were hit on his body, but also the lumps that were kicked and stepped on by his feet. Although it was not very serious, he was still injured. However, this kind of injury is used to people who play football, and Zhou Yi didn't take it seriously.

"Why should I listen to you?" Zhou Yi asked back.

Cortana snorted: "Believe it or not, it's just the advice of a person who studies sports medicine to you, and the decision is in your own hands."

Cortana took the initiative to talk about the major she studied, which aroused Zhou Yi’s curiosity: “By the way, I have always had a problem. You hate athletes so much and don’t want your brother to play professional football. Why would your college major choose sports medicine?”

Cortana did not mean to answer his question: "Nothing can be told."

Seeing this, Zhou Yi knew that Cortana would not say to him, so he shrugged: "Okay. But if you catch a cold, you will be counted as yours!"

"Idiot, cold showers will not cause you to catch a cold! A cold is caused by a virus or bacterial infection, and it has nothing to do with whether you take a cold shower. Of course, you should keep warm after taking a cold shower, otherwise it is my responsibility if it causes a cold."

After saying that, Cortana turned around and entered the room, closed the door, and stopped paying attention to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked at the closed door, tilted his head and thought for a while, and continued to walk towards the bathroom.

In the bathroom, he filled the bathtub with cold water, then took off all his clothes, and hesitated for a long time when he looked at the water that had no heat at all.

Then he raised his head and tried to put his feet into the water, but as soon as he touched the water surface, he shrank back-"Damn, it's so cold! She didn't want to frame me, right?"

Zhou Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and quickly got into the bathtub...

Then, a shocking howl sounded in the bathroom: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mark heard Zhou Yi's howl and hurriedly opened the door and ran to the bathroom: "What's wrong? What happened? Zhou Yi?!"

"No, nothing...ahhhhhhhh!" Another howling of Zhou Yi came from the bathroom.

"What the hell is wrong? I'm going in!" Mark twisted the door handle.

"No! Don't come in! It's nothing, it's just that the water is too cold...ahhh!" Zhou Yi moved his arm, and his skin, which had just adapted, suddenly felt the cold again, and he screamed in irritation.
Chapter completed!
