Chapter 108 Welcome back to the legendary road

After Mark scored twice, Dortmund went from being one ball behind to one ball ahead, and the game situation reversed.

The game started over and Schalke 04, who was unwilling to lose the game just like this, did not give up the offense. They had the chance to win the game, but now they have to lose and can't even save the draw. Who can accept such a big turn?

Facing Schalke 04's fierce offensive, Dortmund chose to shrink his defense. It seemed that Schalke 04 had the advantage in the scene, but in fact, Dortmund's situation was far less bad than everyone's reason.

At least the players are in a good mood now.

Schalke 04 also stood at Dortmund to fight back.

Zhou Yi's position was retracted and turned into a midfielder. When he was defensive to offense, he used more precise long passes to transfer the football to a position that could threaten Schalke 04's defense line. Lewandowski's excellent ball-handling ability and Reus' speed assault continued to raid Schalke 04's defense line, making them unable to rush up to attack at all costs.

It was not until the last five minutes of the game that the score difference was still only one goal, Schalke 04 put down all his worries, fought desperately, and went out in full swing.

But there is not much time left for them.

Even Yang Muge was replaced at the last moment, of course, not because his performance was not good enough, but because at this time, Schalke 04 didn't need any defense at all, they just wanted to attack. Yang Muge made little contribution to the team in the offense, so he was replaced.

But unlike Schalke 04's head coach Stevens, although Dortmund's offensive pressure on Schalke 04 is very high, Klopp did not replace Zhou Yi. Although Zhou Yi is a person who seems to be unable to help in defense.

Last season, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi many times when the team needed extreme defense to strengthen his defense. But later he found that Zhou Yi could actually play a very important role in defense, so he began to let Zhou Yi keep flowing on the court. Unless he was exhausted and could not run, he would be replaced.

This is naturally because Klopp understood Zhou Yi's strength. He is not useless for defense. On the contrary, he has great significance for defense. He is actually indispensable in Dortmund's defensive system.

Therefore, while Yang Muge was replaced, Zhou Yi stayed on the court. Schalke 04, who was attacking with all his might, must have no time to take care of Zhou Yi. So Zhou Yi, who was no longer able to restrain him, began to feel uneasy about letting the team be beaten by Schalke 04.

Watching Schalke 04 players come out in full swing, even the full-backs are the wingers, and their huge gap in the backcourt is like an endless grassland. Zhou Yi was thinking in his mind - Why don't we fight back with such a good opportunity?

So in the 89th minute, he launched a counterattack with a long pass. Reus did not pass to anyone after receiving the ball from the wing. In fact, he had no pass object to get him to pass. Everyone else was still behind him. He dribbled the ball to Schalke 04's goal. Facing Schalke 04's goalkeeper Annestall, he easily sent the ball into the goal.

3:1!

Dortmund completely killed the game!

"Malco—" DJ Nobi on the scene shouted in the microphone.

"—Royce!!!" Dortmund fans at the entire West** Stadium agreed with the warmest voice.

"Okay, this game ends here. I even think the remaining few minutes of injury time is meaningless." Marcel Leif said. "But this result is really surprising, especially those who have watched this game from the first minute of the game. After the game started, Schalke 04 was the one who had the advantage, and they also took the lead. Until the second half, many people probably believed that Schalke 04 could definitely take away three-pointers this time. But after Mark came on the court, everything changed..."

With his words, the TV broadcast footage gave Mark Wagner a close-up shot, and he was hugging Zhou Yi. So this shot puts in the two heroes who can win this game in the game.

"Mark's condition after his comeback is so good, it's really unexpected. I think this may be an important reason why Schalke 04 lost the away game. Because Stevens probably didn't expect that Mark Wagner, who was ordered in danger, would actually be a god! There was absolutely no arrangement for Mark in the plan he had made before, which made Schalke 04's defense a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to defend him..."

Mark hugged Zhou Yi and said, "I know you don't care about it, but I still have to say - thank you, Zhou Yi, thank you very much."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Congratulations, Mark, congratulations on returning to the legendary road, hahaha!"

In the mixed group, Mark Wagner was held back by reporters, and countless microphones were reached towards him. Everyone wanted to hear his comeback.

"For me, it's like dreaming." Facing the camera and microphones of the reporters, Mark said. "Whether it's an injury or a comeback, it's like dreaming. I can't ask for more goals when I'm not playing games for more than a year. I feel that I'm in very good health and I'm eager to play more and score more goals for the team. But it depends on the coach's arrangements, and I will obey and abide by it. I haven't played football for more than a year, so I can't be too anxious..."

He was already a little incoherent.

A Chinese reporter asked him: "Tell me about Zhou Yi, Mark, you are very good friends. What kind of help did he give you during your injury?"

Mark smiled and said, "Didn't you see all the help he gave me today?" Then he said seriously. "Yes, Zhou Yi and I are very good friends. I am very happy that I have met him. He has helped me very much, but it is definitely not just these two assists."

"It is said that in Dortmund, there is a saying of 'Zhou Yi's welcome ceremony'. Is it true?"

"Of course, hahaha!" Mark laughed happily. "Didn't you all see it?"

At the post-match press conference, Klopp also told reporters that he was very happy to score when he saw Mark appear: "...I know my players very well. When I sent him on the court, it was not to feel the atmosphere. The reason why every player of mine was qualified to play is that he was qualified to play. I am very happy that Mark showed today, but I was not surprised because he showed us these things in training. Mark is a very smart player, and I am very happy that he returned to the team, which is equivalent to giving us a strong signing."

After the game, not only Dortmund's local media, but also the entire German media paid attention to the game.

After all, this is a Ruhr derby, and every Ruhr derby will attract much attention, not to mention that this Ruhr derby is accompanied by a strong comeback from a German genius player.

Mark Wagner's two goals not only injected audacious agent into Dortmund's fans, but in fact, it is also good news for the German national team.

As Klose grows older, Germany also encounters forward problems. Mario Gomez is always unable to make people feel completely relieved. Podolsky's condition is getting worse every year. Currently, the German team's forward line is only supported by Thomas Mueller. Mark Wagner's return from injury and his outstanding form obviously gives the German national team an additional choice on the forward line.

If Mark can continue in this state, he will return to the national team again, which is just around the corner.

In the 2014 Brazil World Cup, everyone can fully expect his performance wearing the German national team jersey.

German media praised Mark's return and lamented that with Mark's injury and Reus' return, Dortmund, who has been with Zhou Yi, Mark, Reus and Gotze, will blow their youth storm even more violently.

When Zhou Yi finished his training and returned to his house, he found that Cortana was sitting in the living room watching TV, and the TV screen was broadcasting news about the game the day before yesterday, and the host was talking about Mark.

After hearing Zhou Yi walk in, Cortana suddenly turned off the TV, as if a child was worried that he would be discovered by his parents when he was peeking at the TV. He also grabbed the book next to him and pretended to look it out.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

As he said that, he walked towards his own room.

"It's natural for my sister to care about my younger brother. Don't always act cool if you have nothing to do. It's so tiring."

Zhou Yi waved his hand at the door, walked into his room, and closed the door.
