Chapter 134 The big list
The confrontation between Zhou Yi and Schalke reporters has not only caused a strong response among the media and fans.
In the "Exclusion of Lao Guo" group, everyone is also talking about this.
"Hey, Zhou Yi, what Newtons you said were made up by you?" Sun Pan asked.
Because Zhou Yi is always used to talking nonsense seriously, the first thought in his mind when people hear this kind of thing is that this kid is lying to others again.
Zhou Yi denied Sun Pan’s statement: “How could it be a fool? I am a person with higher education!”
Yang Muge said: "Hey, Zhou Yi, didn't you take the college entrance examination?"
"yes."
"How can you be a person with higher education?" Yang Muge was very surprised.
"Higher secondary education, referred to as higher education!"
"..." The people in the group could only express speechless expressions.
When he got up the next day, Zhou Yi saw Debola in the living room who was about to go out.
Debola stared at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi was puzzled: "What are you looking at?"
"You really made me look at you." Cortana shook her head.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yi asked.
"You actually understand Newton's second law."
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "In China, is this a normal physics course in high school OK? I am a person with higher secondary education! Don't talk about me like an idiot."
Cortana was choked by Zhou Yi's words and was speechless and could only turn around and go out.
Looking at Cortana's back, Zhou Yi snorted and curled his lips.
At Bracker training base, when Zhou Yi walked into the locker room, Groskreuz in the locker room took the lead in doing a "worship" action. This action is often done by fans to express their admiration for a certain player.
After Groskreuz took the lead, other teammates in the locker room also worked together.
Zhou Yi was frightened - what is this situation?
Seeing Zhou Yi's expression, everyone burst into laughter, and then Groskreuz came up and hugged him: "You boy! I used to think that before the Derby, the verbal battle was just a variety of ways to curse people. I didn't expect you to play a new level..."
It turned out that they were all impressed by Zhou Yi's performance when facing Schalke reporters yesterday.

After today's training, Klopp announced the 18-man roster for the game.
Polish forward Lewandowski, who joined the team this summer, was not on the roster this time after serving as a substitute for several consecutive games because the loading he showed in training was not very good.
The forward who replaced him on the roster was Mark Wagner!
When Klopp was pronounced this name, Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at Mark, and squeezed his eyes at him.
However, Mark could no longer see Zhou Yi at this time. He looked at Klopp with surprise, as if he couldn't believe he was on the roster.
When he returned to the locker room, he hugged Zhou Yi and asked excitedly, "I'm not dreaming, am I dreaming, am I?"
Zhou Yi took the opportunity to pinch Mark: "You are not dreaming, Mark!"
Mark grinned in pain, but did not settle the score with Zhou Yi. Instead, he was smiling and looked at Zhou Yi and smiled foolishly: "I think it would be very happy to be able to stay in the first team. I didn't expect to be on the roster so soon..."
"This is what you deserve, Mark." Zhou Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Calm calm, just so happy to be on the roster. If you can play, wouldn't you have to be weak?"
The teammates in the locker room all laughed. Mark wanted to show his strength and confidence in front of his teammates, so he said, "My legs are hard, Zhou Yi!"
"The legs are hard? They can't be hard. They can't even bend, so why do you run and shoot?"
Mark was stunned for a moment before realizing what Zhou Yi was saying, so he shouted, "No, I don't mean that, I mean I... can bend and stretch, can be soft and hard!"
Zhou Yi pointed to his crotch and said in surprise with an exaggerated expression: "Can it be soft or hard? Can it be bent or stretched? Are you this thing, Mark?"
Mark was speechless, not knowing how to continue this. The teammates around him laughed happier.
Kyle smiled beside him and turned his eyes to Zhou Yi. He still remembers that he was so excited and excited when Zhou Yi was first selected for the roster last season, and even spoke incoherently when he talked to the head coach. His performance was not much better than Mark.
But now, after a season of training, he has become more and more calm...

When Zhou Yi returned to his residence, he found Cortana was calling in the living room, and his tone was impatient: "I understand, I understand, I will see it anyway, I will just look at it, just don't care where I look!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Needless to ask, Zhou Yi also knew that Cortana must have had a fight with her mother again. Although Mrs. Wagner was quite kind to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi could see that she was a very strong woman with a very high sense of presence at home. Compared to her husband, Old Wagner, she seemed to be invisible.
Cortana's personality also inherited the meaning of her mother. She was stubborn when she saw her. How could it be possible for two tough people to get together and not quarrel?
Zhou Yi lived at Mark's house before, so he had seen the war between these two women.
But this is someone else's private matter after all, and it is hard for others to ask if they don't say it. They can only pretend that they don't see anything, and walk back to their room without hearing it.
Unexpectedly, Cortana stopped him: "My brother is on the big list?"
"Uh..." Zhou Yi didn't expect Cortana to come and ask himself. "Yes, I'm in."
"Then do you think he has a chance to play?"
If it were normal, Zhou Yi would definitely have glanced at Cortana and told her that she was not a real "wizard", she would not have mysterious Eastern witchcraft, nor would she have predicted the future.
But this time, Zhou Yi's mind quickly turned around. Looking at Cortana, he nodded and said firmly: "Yes. He will appear."
Seeing that Zhou Yi said so surely, Cortana looked at him suspiciously: "You are not a real wizard, you will not know what to do. How could you know?"
When Zhou Yi heard Cortana say this, he scolded this woman in his heart for being a lunatic - you all know that I am not a wizard and will not predict the future. Then you ask me such a stupid question, are you stupid?
But on the surface, Zhou Yi still said in a very affirmative tone: "Because I believe in my friend, Mark's performance in training and warm-up matches. I believe that with his ability and performance, he is fully qualified to play.
When he said this, Zhou Yi's face seemed to emit a soft and warm holy light...
After saying that, Zhou Yi left the stupid woman and walked straight back to his room. At the same time, he also tried his best to keep his pace stable, leaving Cortana with a look of majestic and sacred back.
Cortana turned her head and looked at his back without saying a word, falling into deep thought.

As soon as Mark got home, his mother gave him a big hug.
"Good, Mark!" After the hug, another passionate kiss was heard.
Mark struggled for a moment: "Mom, I'm just on the big list..."
"Being able to enter the roster is enough to show your strength. As long as you have a little better luck, you can play the game!"
"I don't think about playing games anymore. As long as I can be selected into the roster and feel the atmosphere on the sidelines..." Compared with the excited mother, Mark is quite sober.
He has come back from the excitement he has just made the list and knows that he has a long way to go.
His idol Zhou Yi also had examples of being selected for the roster last season, but he was not able to play. So this is a normal thing for newcomers.
"How can this work? Mark? Have great ambitions! You have worked hard to train, is it just to feel the derby atmosphere on the bench? That's the Ruhr derby!"
"I know, mom. But what can I do? I can't make the decision to appear or not..." Mark spread his hands and said a little aggrievedly.
"But you have to be prepared to play at any time, which is a matter of mentality. You have to have a mentality of playing. Because you are a substitute, Mark, and don't have so much time to warm up to adapt to the game. If you appear, you must be able to perform immediately. If you don't adjust your mentality well, you will not perform well." Mrs. Wagner put her hands on her hips and educated her son very seriously.
"And your sister will also go to watch your game. If you don't perform well, guess what she will say? 'My brother is not a football player'..." Wagner said in imitating his daughter's tone. "Do you want to be ridiculed by her?"
"No! Of course not!" Mark immediately became motivated when he heard this.
"That's right, my son! Our whole family will be proud of you!" Mrs. Wagner gave Mark another hug.
But in my mother's arms, Mark finally realized: "If I didn't show up, wouldn't my sister have something to say?"
"My son, the performance of his failure to play is completely different from his bad performance after he appears." Mrs. Wagner, who was holding Mark, whispered in his ear.

Cortana closed the door in her room, and then called Hannah.
"Hannah, can you buy me a ticket?"
Hannah on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised: "Tickets? What do you want to do for a ticket? Cortana?"
"Of course I'm going to watch the football."
"This..." Cortana's answer was impeccable, making Hannah unaware of what to say, so she asked again: "Which game was from?"
"Schalke 04 home against Dortmund."
After Cortana finished speaking, there was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time, so that she thought the short sentence was broken: "Hey? Hannah? Are you here?"
After several consecutive calls, Hanna's voice sounded: "I'm here, Cortana, I'm here... You scared me, Cortana, suddenly I have to watch the game, and also the Ruhr derby..."
"My brother was selected for the Dortmund roster for this game." Cortana told Hannah the answer.
"Ah... that's really gratifying. I should go and see it. OK, I'll ask my friend, but... you should have told me earlier, Cortana. For such an important game, tickets were sold out very early, and I can't be sure if they can help you. In short, I'll try my best."
"Thank you, Hannah." Cortana thought that if Hannah couldn't buy tickets for her, then her mother could no longer blame herself for not going to the scene to support her brother.
