Chapter 41 Opportunity(1/2)
Gotze's goal helped Dortmund u19 get a goal back, which is crucial to Dortmund.¥f.¥f
Because if they end up with two goals behind the first half, then the second half is under a lot of pressure.
Being able to score a goal in the first half is a great encouragement to the team's morale. At the same time, it also narrows the score difference to one goal, so Dortmund still has great hope in the second half.
After Gotze scored, Dortmund's morale really rose, and they launched a fierce attack on Schalke 04's goal.
However, until the end of the first half, Dortmund was unable to score another goal. The first half ended.
During the halftime break, Yang Muge's teammates were also discussing the just-concluded first half.
Because Dortmund scored a goal in the end, everyone was a little unsatisfied.
However, when they think that this is their home court and they are still one goal ahead, they are still confident that they can beat Dortmund at home.
The last time they challenged Dortmund's u17 away, they failed to win and returned in a defeat. Now they all put their hopes on the u19, which is bigger than them.

In the locker room, head coach Yebala criticized several players for their performance in the first half, including forward Schneider.
But it doesn’t mean that he is not positive enough. He is very active and hardworking, but if he is too active and hard, he will appear impatient.
There were many times when he picked up the ball and he chose to shoot directly, but no threat was created. In fact, he could be completely stable and handed over the football to Zhou Yi or Goce to organize the offense.
He wanted to show his personal abilities to the fullest, but in fact it went against his wishes.
Schneider, who was criticized by the head coach, lowered his head and said nothing. What else can he say?
It is correct not to speak at this time.
However, Schneider was holding his energy in his heart. He must score a goal against Schalke 04 to prove that the head coach was wrong.
At the same time, he also wants to use his outstanding performance to leave u19 and go to the first team as soon as possible.
Any player who comes to u19 is actually at the age of being able to sign a professional contract in German football, which stipulates that players can sign a professional contract if they are over 18 years old. Schneider has signed a professional contract now. However, he still has to play football in u19 and cannot go to the first team.
If he can perform well in u19, he has the hope of being transferred to the first team.
Now Dortmund's first-team head coach is Jurgen Klopp, who is famous for making good use of young players, so every Dortmund youth player has the desire to go to the first team in his heart.
Zhou Yi has it, Gotze has it, and even Mark has it, so it is natural that Schneider has it.

After the second half of the game started, after a midfield challenge, Schalke 04 came back to his senses from the hit of the goal conceded in the last stage of the first half.
After all, this is their home court. They are born with a psychological advantage over the Dortmund u19 boys.
Under their fierce offensive, Dortmund made a mistake in the defense line, so Schalke 04 seized the opportunity to score another goal.
When they scored this goal, both the fan array composed of the players’ parents and the audience scattered in various areas around the stadium all cheered loudly.
Neuer was particularly conspicuous in it. His tall figure and his exaggerated celebrations always make people look at each other.
Yang Muge couldn't help but be attracted by him, and he didn't have time to care whether the lost ball would hit his friend Zhou Yi.
In fact, Zhou Yi was not hit hard.
It is normal to concede a goal in the away game to play the Ruhr derby. It is not incredible to let the opponent lead two goals.
After losing the ball, everyone else was upset, while Zhou Yi was thinking about how to fight back.
In Zhou Yi's opinion, Schneider's point is completely useless.
When the football reaches his feet, it is basically the end of the attack. He will use one shot to return the ball to Schalke 04. Zhou Yi really wants to ask the opponent if Schalke 04 sent undercover who had been hiding in Dortmund for more than ten years.
After Schneider was abolished, the only person who was useful in the forward line was Daniel Jincheck.
However, as a center forward, Jinchek needs to be ahead. His more of his role is not to score goals, but to serve as a fulcrum for offense and to give Goze a goal.
However, after Gotze scored a goal, he was closely guarded by the opponent. Whether he passed the football directly to Gotze or excessively sent it to Gotze through Jinchek, the effect was not good.
At this time, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of his good friend Mark.
If Mark can play, it will definitely be an unexpected attack point for Schalke 04. However...
He glanced at Yebala. He didn't know if the head coach had any objections to Mark. Mark had been at U19 for so long and had not played for a minute in the official game.
In such an important Ruhr derby, he probably won't let Mark come on the court.

Yebala also saw that Schneider's performance in the second half had not changed much, and his criticism of him during the half-time break was in vain.
Schalke 04 has just scored a goal and his morale is in full swing. If you don't do anything, I'm afraid the situation will be worse.
But what do you need to make changes?
It is easy to change this idea, but it is really another matter to do it specifically.
Yebala stared at Schneider, and suddenly a person came to mind.
He turned his head and looked at Mark Wagner, who was sitting on the bench.
I was still wondering if I would give this young man who has been working very hard recently.
So is it a chance now?
I was worried that in an important game like the Ruhr District Derby, it would put pressure on him and also affect the team's performance.
But now it seems that there is another explanation for the team's performance being affected. What if the impact of his performance on the team is a positive positive impact?
Anyway, the team is now behind two goals, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of team performance.
As for whether the player himself can withstand the pressure... that's not what Yebala cares about. If he can't even withstand this pressure, then don't think about making any progress in football.
Thinking of this, Yebala stood up and walked towards Mark Wagner, who was staring at the stadium with concentration.
"Hey, Mark." he shouted.
Mark turned his head and looked at the head coach in confusion.
"Go to warm up." Yebala bowed his head.
Mark was stunned for a moment before he realized. He quickly got up and ran to the warm-up area. Because of accidents and perhaps excitement, he staggered a little while running and almost fell down.
When Yebala saw Mark's appearance behind her, she shook her head and could she really trust this young man?
There is a reason why Mark was excited, because he thought of an amazing possibility, that is, he is very likely to be replaced!
Although he has experienced this kind of thing in this team many times when he was called to warm up during the game, he never once did the head coach come to ask him to warm up in person. And he was only asked to warm up alone.
In the past, assistant coaches came to call a group of players to warm up.
As a person who has been playing football for more than ten years, if he doesn't know what this means, then the ball will be in vain in the first ten years.
Are you really going to play in the Ruhr derby?
Mark was excited when he thought of this.
※ ※ ※
"Look! It's Mark!" Mrs. Wagner pointed at Mark who was running to warm up in the stands, and said excitedly to her husband and daughter.
As mentioned before, because Dortmund fans and Schalke 04 fans are disgusted with their opponents, most people will not choose to go to the other party’s stadium to watch the game.
But this is not absolute, it is most people, but not everyone.
Otherwise, in the Ruhr derby in the Bundesliga, there will be no fans on the opponent.
But in fact, there are still some.
Mrs. Wagner, her husband, and Cortana were one of the very few.
They may not go to other away games, but they must come even if it is a away game.
Even if their son has not yet got a chance to play in u19, they don’t know if his son will play in this game.
But as long as their son enters the roster, they will always have such a longing in their hearts, hoping that their son will play in the game.
Unexpectedly, I really have a chance to appear now!
Cortana almost fell as she watched her brother get up and run to the warm-up area. She couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Idiot... How can she appear if she hurts her muscles if she hurts her body?"
"No crow's mouth, Cortana!"
"Okay, mom. obey the order, mom." Confronted by the serious mother, Cortana stuck out her tongue.

During Mark's warm-up time, Schalke 04 launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal with their just-scoring momentum.
Zhou Yi has only been able to recover defense during this period. However, defense is not what he is good at. Many times, he just stuck on the opponent's passing route, forcing the opponent to stop passing the football to the target he originally wanted to pass the ball, which was considered successful. If the opponent breaks through directly, then he really has no way to do it.
In five minutes, Schalke 04 completed four shots, which shows how critical it was in front of Dortmund during this period.
Fortunately, Dortmund's u19's defense line withstood the pressure at this time and did not concede the ball.
When central defender Rassey Sobech kicked the ball out of the sideline with a big foot, the fourth official stood on the sideline and raised a sign that signaled to make a substitution.
Dortmund U19 substitution, No. 18 and No. 25.
Number 18 is Schneider's number.
