Chapter 42: Come on Call(1/2)
No matter how reluctant Schneider was, he had to accept the fate of being replaced.
But he did not hand over the high-fives with Mark, but walked directly from Mark to off the court.
Of course, Mark didn't bother to slap Schneider. As Schneider's feet just stepped off the court, he couldn't wait to rush onto the court.
When he ran on the court, he saw Zhou Yi slap him and waited for him. He ran over to complete the action of slapping Zhou Yi.
"What is the mission?" Zhou Yi asked Mark while squeezing high fives.
"The coach asked me to shoot behind Jinchek if I had the chance, and help me with it if I didn't have the chance." Mark said simply, Zhou Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Okay, then you go. You know how to kick it, right?"
He didn't tell Mark that this was an opportunity to completely press Schneider on the bench, because now is not the time to consider this, winning this derby is the most important thing. Compared with the victory of the game, personal grudges are nothing.
If Schneider hadn't really been a waste of opportunity, Zhou Yi would be happy to pass and assist Schneider.
He has not done this in previous games.
But unfortunately, Schneider never seems to appreciate it...
Mark nodded and ran to his position.
※※※
Mark's appearance did not attract Schalke 04's attention. However, after Schneider came off, many viewers felt that the game was even more sure to win.
After all, Schneider is both well-known forwards in U17 and U19, and his fate will undoubtedly reduce Dortmund's offensive quality.
If Goze and Jinchek are stared at him, even if Zhou Yi can pass the ball, he will not be able to find the target of passing the ball!
Dortmund's offense will be without any threat.
However, Mark's mother was very excited and kept waving at Mark in the stands: "Mark Mark!! Come on! Come on!! Mark!!"
※※※
It has been a long time since Mark stood side by side with Zhou Yi in the competition.
None of them are in the team games or some warm-up matches.
But when he stood on the court again and saw Zhou Yi, he had no sense of strangeness at all.
He is very familiar with Zhou Yi's passing method and knows how Zhou Yi will play, so he also knows how to run. He also firmly believes that Zhou Yi must be very familiar with his playing method and knows how to pass.
Some people describe it as tacit understanding, it is enough to say a look, but Mark thinks that he and Zhou Yi don’t even need to look at each other.
Just run.
After Mark came on the court, he soon discovered that Schalke 04 lacked attention to himself and his defense was a formality.
This is your own opportunity.
Next, let’s see if Zhou Yi can see it.
In fact, Zhou Yi also noticed Schalke 04's defensive attitude towards Mark.
This is exactly what he hopes to see.
Soon, the opportunity came.
And this opportunity is not bad - Schalke 04's defensive players focused their attention on Goze and Jinchek, and even Zhou Yi was facing defensive pressure, but Mark was in a gap, but no one was going to defend!
They really didn't take Mark who had just played seriously...
If I don’t use such an obvious gap, I’m so sorry to Schalke 04.
At this moment, Gece, who was facing the opponent's strict defense, could not break through, so he transferred the football out and passed it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi did not wait to catch the ball on the spot, but instead faced the football.
After Goze passed the ball, he turned inward and seemed to cooperate with Zhou Yi. His actions attracted the attention of Leschalke's 04 defense line.
Zhou Yi did not look at Goze's running position, but turned his eyes to the other side and turned his attention to Mark.
He noticed that Mark had recycled and hid himself better, while the space was still there.
He is so good at discovering and using space... he is really the Mark he is familiar with.
Although his football style has changed and he has been practicing physical confrontation for more than a month, his keen grasp of space and record is still there. That is his instinct!
After seeing Mark's situation clearly, Zhou Yi's eyes fell back to football.
At this time, the football immediately rolled to his feet.
Zhou Yi did not choose to stop the ball, but directly swung his right foot and kicked the ball towards his left front!
With a kick against the turf, the football rolled past the feet of a Schalke 04 defender.
In fact, he was very close to him, but because he was running towards Gotze, facing the football that passed by him, he was powerless because of his inertia and could only watch the football rolling towards him diagonally behind him...the space!
Just as Zhou Yi passed the ball, Mark, who was hiding behind, suddenly exerted force and rushed out!
The more than a month of strength practice has brought an unexpected benefit to Mark, which is that it increases his explosive power and makes his startup speed faster than before.
Maybe it's only 0:00 a second, but it's only this 0:00 a second that allows him to react faster than others and arrive at the designated position!
※※※
In fact, before Zhou Yi passed the ball, everyone thought that he would pass the ball to Gotze. After all, in many previous games, he and Gotze cooperated the most, and Gotze also scored a lot of goals because of his assists.
He and Gotze are the golden partner of Dortmund U19.
So everyone's eyes were focused on Gotze.
But when Goze broke into the penalty area, the football did not fly over.
Everyone watched Zhou Yi pass the football to the other side...
Who else on that side?
They turned their sights and found a man wearing Dortmund No. 25 jersey appeared in an unguarded space!
"It's Mark!" Mrs. Wagner shouted excitedly.
No one expected that Mark received the ball at that position, and there was no Schalke 04 defender beside him. Now he faced Schalke 04's goalkeeper directly, and he had plenty of time to adjust his shot!
However, Mark did not adjust for too long. After stopping the football with his left foot, he directly shot with his right foot!
The football rushed forward quickly against the turf.
Although Schalke 04's goalkeeper Arthur fell to the ground and saved, he was still one step late.
For goalkeepers, falling to the ground and saving is the most time-consuming.
Mark was very clever and did not choose to shoot hard on the upper corner, which made Arthur's save difficult.
Arthur did not touch the football, and the football rolled over from his hand and then rushed into the goal!
The ball has entered!
The ball has entered!!!
It was not until the football rolled into the goal that Mark realized - did I score?
The first shot after taking the field actually caused a goal?!
At this time, he wanted to find Zhou Yi who assisted him, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhou Yi rushing towards him.
"Beautiful, Mark!! You are simply the nemesis of Schalke 04! Haha!"
In the last match against Schalke 04U17, Mark scored twice, helping Dortmund U17 defeat the Ruhr zone rival. Zhou Yi said that well...
Taking advantage of the embrace of Zhou Yi and Mark, Gotze ran into the goal, grabbed the football, and then ran over and patted Mark on the shoulder: "Good, Mark! Now we are only one ball away from them! Come on, keep going!"
He hasn't forgotten his goal yet - win this Ruhr derby, even on the road!
Mark also understood what was the most important thing now. He did not celebrate the goal casually, but followed Gotze to the middle circle.
The other teammates came up and just patted his shoulders and touched his head, without any intention of hugging him.
Everyone knows that time is tight now, and if you can get more time, you will have more hope of winning.
※※※
When Mark scored, Mark's parents all jumped from the seat, and his mother, Mrs. Wagner, was particularly excited.
"Mark! My son! Beautiful job! You are my pride!!!"
She didn't care at all about exposing her identity to a large group of Schalke 04 fans. She just wanted to cheer for her son now.
Not long after I started playing, I scored a goal. Is there any U19 debut that is more helpful than this?!
No!
This is the best U19 debut Mrs. Wagner could have thought of.
Cortana also stood up from her seat and applauded her younger brother.
In her opinion, it is a good thing to score goals.
※※※
When Mark scored, Yebala jumped out of her seat and hugged the assistant coach beside him.
