It was supposed to be a very pleasant welcome dinner, but because of the episode before dinner, everyone had a bit of tasteless food.

Although Mark's parents, Wagner and his wife, desperately wanted to create a relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table, the Germans were not good at telling jokes, and Zhou Yi was not very good at speaking, so they couldn't understand them very much.

So the atmosphere didn't get better, or even a little worse.

After dinner, Zhou Yi returned to his room as soon as possible. He felt a little embarrassed, and it was better to be alone.

But soon Mark knocked on his door and invited Zhou Yi to play live football, and wanted to give some explanations about what to do tonight.

"Don't take my sister's words to heart." Mark said in a painting.

"Actually, I didn't understand..." Zhou Yi also compared and painted.

"Then don't take her attitude to heart."

"Your sister doesn't welcome me?" Zhou Yi asked.

"No, it's not that you are not welcome, she is biased against all athletes."

"Why?"

"No, it's just that I don't have a good impression. She thinks that athletes are all idiots with developed limbs and simple minds. Yes, I admit that what she said makes sense. There are indeed many scandals and jokes among athletes, but there are also examples of self-discipline among athletes." Mark said angrily, "She is just a prejudice for no reason!"

"But you are also an athlete and a football player." Zhou Yi felt strange.

"So she has always been very opposed to my football. She hopes that I can go to school honestly and get into a university... But I know, I'm not a good school... Well, she always uses me as examples to illustrate that athletes are simple-minded." Mark covered his forehead, obviously in an argument with his sister, he must have never won once.

"The relationship between you siblings is really... tense."

"No, it's actually very good, as long as you don't talk about sports and football." Mark defended.

"So your sister is not a fan either?"

"No, she doesn't watch the game."

"There must be not many such people in Dortmund?"

"Not many, but there are still some..." Mark was helpless. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to my room to play the live event!"

Speaking of games, he finally got the spirit.

After Zhou Yi figured out that his sister was not targeting him alone, his mood was not as bad as before. Football games could indeed arouse his interest.

When we went to training the next day, Mark's father, Old Wagner, drove them to the training base.

At the training base, Zhou Yi met Kester again. Kester asked him with a smile: "How is the new environment like? Did you sleep well last night?"

"Uh, it's... not bad." Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment and did not tell the other party the truth.

He thought about it all night and felt that he would not change the place to live.

The Mark family is very easy to get along with except for his sister. Mark told him that Cortana doesn’t stay at home every day. She is a college student and she usually lives on campus most of the time.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with his sister, Zhou Yi and Mark had a good relationship. There was no need to lose a friend because of a woman. If he proposed to change a place to live, I believe that the saddest person would definitely be Mark.

"That's good. At the beginning, I'll always feel a little uncomfortable, especially when I'm not able to speak, so I'll get better. The club has found a German teacher for you and will start tutoring you tonight, and the location is at Mark's home. Is it okay?"

"no problem."

Zhou Yi couldn't wait to learn German well, but he couldn't understand the language and felt that he didn't know what others talked about.

※※※

In addition to the normal team training on this day, Zhou Yi still has to train physically under Bartlett.

After a night of research, Bartlett gave Zhou Yi a targeted physical training plan.

Focusing on improving his physical recovery ability in the game.

Based on Zhou Yi's style of playing football in the game, considering that Zhou Yi has to keep moving during the game, sometimes he needs to sprint quickly to the receiving location, so recovery ability is crucial. If Zhou Yi cannot recover his physical strength quickly in the game, he will soon fall into a situation where he can't run. It is useless to stay on the court.

In the last game against Lamacia Youth Team, he was forced to command his teammates with his throat, but that was an exception. He could not turn this forced method into the norm in future games, right?

To improve recovery ability, Bartlett's method is to let Zhou Yi do several sets of high-intensity training in training to fully squeeze his body, and then let him rest after being exhausted. However, the rest time is very short, and then continue to carry out high-intensity training. This cycle makes Zhou Yi's body gradually adapt to this rhythm.

At the beginning, Zhou Yi struggled to practice. After training for several sets, he only had a half-minute break before starting training, but he couldn't exert any effort.

At this time, Bartlett would keep shouting next to him: "Continue to continue! Persist in perseverance!"

So much so that Zhou Yi learned these two German words without using Kester translation...

Physical training is the last item of the training content of the day, and the intensity of the previous training was actually not low. Zhou Yi spent a lot of physical strength at that time. Now there is really no extra strength inside his body to let him conduct physical training, but Bartlett did not consider this situation at all and ruthlessly squeezed Zhou Yi's body.

Zhou Yi had to grit his teeth and persevere. He knew that he had no way out here. When he was in China, he could still complain, but no one responded to complaining here, which would only make people laugh.

In a year, he must make himself a qualified player and be able to sign a professional contract with the club, otherwise it will mean failure.

He is already seventeen years old and he knows very well what it means to football players.

It means that many basic things are inferior to others, and it means that there is no time for him to squander. If you don’t seize the time to train, what is the meaning of the opportunity you have won?

After the day of training, Zhou Yi asked Kester to help him to the parking lot. Mark and his father were waiting for him there. Seeing Zhou Yi's exhausted look, Mark was surprised: "It's just physical training..."

"His physical training is not the same as you think," said Kester, then called Zhou Yi to Mark's hand and reminded him. "If he falls asleep on the way back, he will also call him up for dinner. You can't go hungry. He will have to take German classes tonight."

"I understand, sir." Mark took Zhou Yi, and his tentacles were cold - that was the feeling after the sweat was cold.

As Kester said, on the way home, Zhou Yi fell asleep in the car.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was already snoring around him, Mark couldn't help but shake his head - this kid is really hard-working!

"Dad, drive the car slowly." He said to his father who was driving in front.

"Okay." Old Wagner nodded, let go of the accelerator, the speed gradually slowed down, and he slowly moved forward on the way home.

Leave Zhou Yi to sleep for more time...

※※※

When Zhou Yi was woken up, the car had already arrived at Mark's house. Although he was still a little tired after waking up, he became much more energetic. He went to take a hot shower first, then went downstairs to have dinner with Mark's family. Today, I didn't see the savage sister. It seems that Mark was right, and Cortana would not live home often.

After dinner, Zhou Yi came to the language teacher he found for him by the club. In his room, he studied German for an hour and a half under the guidance of the teacher.

After sending off the German teacher, Zhou Yi went to Mark's room to play several live football games. They played games while talking in German. For Zhou Yi, this is also a good oral and listening exercise. Mark also took into account Zhou Yi's language situation and spoke slowly so that he could understand.

After playing a few games, Zhou Yi said goodbye to Mark and yawned to wash and sleep.

The day ended like this. He got into the bed, entered the world of FIFAOL3, saw Chu Ling, and continued his training.

"How do you feel when you have physical training on the first day?" Chu Ling asked.

"Professional." Zhou Yi felt the two words.

It is indeed more professional than the physical training I received in that temporary Chinese team, and the requirements are naturally stricter.

"It's right for professionalism. Such training will be of great benefit to you." Chu Ling said.

"By the way, has my physical fitness attributes improved?" Zhou Yi asked.

"It's just a training class, and no matter how professional it is, it doesn't have that magical effect. Physical energy is an attribute that relies on the accumulation of quantity. Don't think about how much you have improved now, just practice."

※※※

In this way, Zhou Yi was trained like a dead dog at Bracker training base every day, and then was handed over to Mark by Kester, and then had a good sleep in Old Wagner's car. After waking up, he took a shower and ate, studied German at night, and used the time he played games with Mark to practice speaking and listening.

In the first week of coming to Germany, Zhou Yi spent it very regularly, just like a German.

This week, except for seeing Mark's sister on the first day, he really never saw him. If it hadn't been too deep for him on the first day, he would even wonder if Mark really had such an older sister...

In addition, during this week of training, Zhou Yi never met Mario Gotze once.

According to Mark's introduction, Gotze has been mentioned to the first team to train with the team.

Another person who is only one step away from professional football!

Zhou Yi thought of Thiago of Lamacia.

You have to work harder.

It is gratifying that the results of hard training and learning this week have gradually emerged.

In terms of physical training, Zhou Yi no longer felt that training was difficult like in the first few days, and Bartlett shouted "continue to persevere".

In terms of language learning, Zhou Yi has made rapid progress, and his communication with Mark has become less and less likely to use gestures.

As his high school class teacher Zhai Liying said, Zhou Yi is essentially a very smart student, but he is unwilling to use his intelligence to study and exams. If he is willing, relying on key universities is not an out of reach.

Now, Zhou Yi has used his intelligence to study German, so it is normal for him to make significant progress.
