Chapter 147 Mark's debut in West****
After four rounds of the league, Dortmund ranked third with three wins and one loss, and the top two teams were somewhat surprising. The first place was Mainz, with four wins in four stops, scored ten goals, conceded four goals, and had a goal difference of six goals, with a very excellent result.
The second place is Hoffenheim, with three wins and one draw, scoring nine goals, conceding three goals, and winning six goals.
The next third place is Dortmund.
The fourth place is Freiburg, who also has three wins and one loss, but has few goals, so he ranks fourth.
The fifth place is Hamburg, sixth place Kaiserslautern, seventh place Hannover 96, and eighth place Leverkusen.
Where is Bayern Munich?
They are currently ranked ninth, winning only one game in four games and losing one game, and the remaining two are draws, scoring two goals, conceding three goals, and the goal difference is a negative. Currently, only five points are accumulated.
However, the ranking at this time does not mean anything.
Because Bayern Munich ranked eighth after playing four rounds last season, and his performance was not much better than this season, but in the end of the season, their ranking was first and champion!
And one more season ahead, in the 2008-2009 season, Bayern Munich ranked second in the first four rounds, scoring ten goals, conceding four goals, and having six goals, performing well. So where are they after the league ends?
In the second place, Wolfsburg won the championship. For a giant like Bayern Munich, not winning the championship in the league is considered a failure.
These historical experiences fully demonstrate that the ranking at the beginning of the league is not worth mentioning.
Many strong teams cannot rest well in summer because there are many national players in the team. Their condition is often not at their best. In addition, the teams also have to fight on multiple fronts at the beginning of the season, so it is normal for them to be unsatisfactory.
As the league progresses, the experience and state adjustment ability of strong teams, as well as the strong bench thickness, can help them regain the first few seats in the league standings.
As the saying goes, laughing to the end is the best one.

In the fifth round of the league, Dortmund faces Kaiserslautern at home. For Mark, this will be his first time playing football at West**** Stadium, and it may be a starting player...
At the same time, for Mark, his performance in the Ruhr derby was amazing and has attracted more attention. These attentions will turn into pressure and be reflected in a new game.
People always hope that geniuses can maintain their upward momentum, but once this expectation becomes pressure, it will be less fun.
So can Mark withstand such pressure and still maintain a high level of performance in this game?
Expectations and attention can sometimes make people feel elated and have the illusion that they are reaching the peak of their lives, but more often they will become pressure to crush a person.
How to deal with this pressure and expectation is a test that Mark must withstand.
Moreover, it is impossible for others to help him. He can receive Zhou Yi's pass on the court, and Zhou Yi's assist can be regarded as some kind of help. But if he does not have the ability, even if Zhou Yi's pass, he will not be able to score.
So the key is to yourself.
In the locker room at West**** Stadium, Zhou Yi was joking with Mark: "How is it? Did you feel nervous and unable to sleep last night?"
The teammates next to him also let out a low laugh.
"I'm sleeping well!" Mark said proudly with his head raised.
"Ah, that's good." Zhou Yi patted his shoulder. "It's just an ordinary game."
He was worried that Mark would feel nervous, would think too much.
When I was in the youth team with him before, wasn’t it just because Mark thought too much that he would lie under the bed at night to pretend to be a fool?
Now it seems that Mark was very helpful to him in the youth team that season alone. Because he is a person who can stand alone without relying on himself and Gotze.

When the live broadcast Dicole shouted: "Mark--"
"Wagner!!" The fans at the scene all cheered loudly, and Mrs. Wagner and her black gold companions contributed considerable strength.
At this moment, after shouting, Mrs. Wagner hugged her husband and her body was shaking slightly.
Old Wagner gently patted her back and sootheed his wife's emotions.
For Mrs. Wagner, the goal from the last Ruhr derby would probably not make her so excited that she could not be as excited as she is now.
Because this is in West****, the fans here, especially those in the South stands, were shouting their son's name. Only at this moment did Mrs. Wagner feel that her son is a real Dortmund player and can enjoy such treatment.
So her body was trembling with excitement.
Mrs. Wagner was definitely not the only one who trembled.
When Mark's name was shouted out in the South stand, Mark was in the player's channel, waiting to appear.
He shivered for a moment, shivered, as if he had been electrocuted.
He deeply felt the feeling of starting at West**** Stadium.
One word - cool!
Just when Mark was excited, he was broadcasting on the live broadcast to Zhouyi.
"week--"
"easy!!!!"
This sound shocked Mark because he felt that it was twice as big as his!
In fact, he has not heard how fans cheer for Zhou Yi, but the player channel seems to have a design that can amplify the volume. Anyway, the shouts he heard here are completely different from those he heard on the bench and stands.
But amid such cheers, Zhou Yi, who was standing in front of him, didn't even shake it. He was obviously used to it.
One day... I will become accustomed to this, right?

After stepping onto the court, Mark turned his head and looked at the south stand, which was densely packed with people. They were wearing Dortmund's jerseys, Dortmund's baseball cap, and holding Dortmund's scarf in their hands, forming a yellow and black wall.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he was sure that his parents were in the wall, two of the 25,000 bricks.
They are watching themselves, and on the road of pursuing their dreams, they can walk more steadily.
The only thing that I have any regrets is that his sister, who is not optimistic about him, shouldn't appear on the scene. In fact, it would be great that she could watch in front of the TV.
My relationship with my sister is actually quite good - as long as I don’t talk about football.
He still hopes that his sister will accept his choice one day.
※※※
What Mark didn't know was that when he appeared, his sister was standing in a certain area of Taichung. This time, she did not deliberately pretend to be because she was surrounded by Dortmund fans.
However, what is slightly different from the Dortmund fans around her is that she does not wear any Dortmund jerseys or Dortmund hats. As for Dortmund's scarf, there is nothing else.
She came to the stands of the stadium in casual clothes and empty-handed. She sat down like an ordinary passerby who was tired of walking and resting here, and was still out of place with the people around her.
So at the beginning she attracted a lot of curious scrutiny.
It's all right now, the Dortmund fans around them are cheering and singing, and no one cares about the woman appearing next to them.

Before this game, Kaiserslautern ranked sixth in the league, with two wins, one draw and one loss in four games, eight goals, five goals conceded, three goals, and seven points.
It is ranked higher than Bayern Munich.
After the start of the league, Kaiserslautern was in good shape. They defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 at home in the second round of the league, and even revealed an upset in the round.
However, their status has been mediocre in the last two rounds of the league.
In the third round, he lost to Mainz, the top of the league. In the last round, he shook hands with Hoffenheim, the second in the league.
Now, their opponent has been replaced by third in the league.
Judging from the strength of the two teams now, Dortmund is stronger than Kaiserslautern.
Originally, Barrios' injury would have a certain impact on the team. As a result, Mark, who replaced him, performed well, which directly made people forget Barrios.
In addition, it was another away game, and no one thought Kaiserslautern could leave West**** or leave.
After the game started, Kaiserslautern was still very active and could hold a stalemate with Dortmund.
This stalemate lasted only twenty-one minutes. Then, without the need for commentator Marcel Lef to remind him that any fan who understands the ball could see that Dortmund had the upper hand on the scene.
Of course, there are Zhou Yi’s contributions.
But it's not just that.
In addition to Zhou Yi, Goze, and Shinji Kagawa also performed very well.
In addition, although there has not been a goal yet, Mark's performance is also good.
After controlling the game, Dortmund will score the next goal.
Dortmund fans in the stands of West**** Stadium motivate the team with their singing voices.
In the 32nd minute, Dortmund finally scored his first record.
Shinji Kagawa assisted Groschloitz, who shot the ball into Kaiserslautern's goal!
1:0!
"Good goal! Although Dortmund has always had an advantage, if you can't score, you will always worry everyone. And this goal can finally reassure many Dortmund fans! They took the lead at home!"
