Vol 2 Chapter 39: Mark's progress

Going to the Westfalen Stadium and watching a game in the South Stand, it really touched Mark.
After returning from the court, Mark devoted himself to training every day. After the team’s normal training session, he would also train with Zhou Yi in the gym. Zhou Yi gave Wangler his training muscles. The set of power is then given to Mark.
Then Mark conducts his strength training, while Zhou Yi conducts his physical training.
Zhou Yi also worked harder than before, not only a mark but also him affected by the South Grandstand...
The two youngsters worked hard together to improve their strength and realize their dreams.
During this time, the u19 league continues.
In fact, there are not many league matches in U19. The Western Conference has only 26 rounds in total, but the time is very long, because there is a playoff, which is the championship playoff. It will end on the 28th.
However, there is no need to worry about fewer games. In addition to the league, there is also the U19 competition in the German Youth League Cup.
In addition, there will be some warm-up matches and friendly matches when there are no leagues and cups.
So the number of matches is enough.
Zhou Yi has stabilized his main position in the team through his outstanding performance in games and training.
Yebara also placed Zhou Yi in the position of the team organizer. He became the hub of the team's offensive. After Goetze was liberated, he could play a greater role in scoring, and he could help when necessary. Zhou Yi shared the task of organizing the offensive. Ensure that Dortmund's u19 attack will not be blocked.
The benefits of Zhou Yi's insistence on physical training also showed. His playing time increased by one minute and one second.
After Zhou Yi joined, Dortmund u19 made great progress in the league, gradually throwing rival Monchengladbach u19 farther and farther away.
As for the U19 of Dortmund's rival Schalke 04 in the Ruhr area, it is even further away from Dortmund.
The league reached the 21st round, Dortmund u19 sixteen wins, four draws and one loss, with 52 points, topped the list. The second team in the league changed from Monchengladbach u19 to Leverkusen u19. Forty-eight points. Mönchengladbach U19 forty-six points became third. And Schalke 04's u19 has only 38 points, ranking fourth.
According to the rules of the German u19 league, the entire Germany is divided into three regions, namely the southern region, the western region and the northern region.
There are fourteen teams in each division. Through the twenty-six rounds of competition, the top two in the southern division and the top in the western division and the northern division, a total of four teams advanced to the final playoffs and then caught Fight. After two rounds of home and away contests, two teams advanced to the playoff finals were decided.
The final is a game of winning and losing on a gravity field.
Dortmund u19 as long as they can get the first in the Western Conference. Will advance to the playoffs, have the opportunity to compete for the championship of the national u19 youth league.
In addition, Dortmund also performed well in the U19 German Cup, they have reached the quarter-finals, which is the quarterfinals.
The quarter-finals will take place on April 12, with Dortmund u19 playing against Koblenz U19 at home.
During this time, Zhou Yichang did not miss the game. It's just that the playing time is longer or shorter.
And Mark. He hasn't played in u19 until now. Although he has been selected to the roster several times, he has been sitting on the bench.
But Mark’s mentality is different from when he first entered the U19. He is not worried about whether he can play, he just trains patiently and seriously. Every day after the training, I will train with Zhou Yi in the gym.
At the same time in the diet, both people will now eat a lot of beef and protein powder, increasing muscle.
After all, strength comes from muscles, and muscles are the foundation. If you don’t have any muscles, how to practice. The power will not increase much.
In such training day after day, March passed.
When Mark confronted his defending teammates during training, he never wanted to be like that at the beginning, and always fell down at the first touch. There is a very intuitive impression that at the end of the training, Mark's clothes were no longer so dirty.
Mark is very excited about this change.
Listening to Zhou Yi is true, he has finally found the right way. Even if he trains hard, he doesn’t have to worry about messing up.
Although he didn't get a chance to play, Mark's face was always full of smiles, just like he was in the last part of u17. He is full of beautiful longing for his future.
※※※
Russ Ricken will come to Yebara regularly to learn about the training and competition of Zhou Yi and Getze in u19.
Both of them should be regarded as young players that the club pays more attention to.
Goetze is the highest quality product for Dortmund's youth training, and it has naturally received a lot of attention.
While Zhou Yi is Klopp's personally finalized transfer of young players, Ricken will naturally not be neglected.
"Goetze's performance is more dazzling, but it is actually related to Zhou Yi." Yebara said to Riken. "Before Zhou Yi came, Goetze had to take on too many tasks. After Zhou Yi came, he liberated him, allowing him to play freely, but let him perform better."
Liken was the one who personally watched Zhou Yi's game with the Chinese team, so he was not surprised by Yebara's statement.
At the beginning, many of the Chinese team were not as good as Dortmund's youth team, but after Zhou Yi, they were able to compete with Dortmund u17 for a period of time, which is enough to explain the problem.
There are two cores in this world, one is a person who has outstanding performance and can personally win for the team and win for the team; the other is that his performance does not look as dazzling as the number one star inside. , But he is indeed an indispensable character. Because of his presence can improve the grade and combat effectiveness of the entire team.
And in Ricken's view. Zhou Yi belongs to the latter.
"I also consciously let Goetze and Zhou Yi often cooperate, whether it is training or competition, let them have more connections. They are now the golden partner of my team." Yebara introduced.
Speaking of "golden partner", Riken suddenly thought of another person.
"Right, what about that Mark Wagner?"
"He?" Yebara was surprised why Rickon suddenly asked this man.
"Yes, he was still outstanding at u17, what happened to him?"
"He... haven't played in my team yet."
Liken was surprised when he heard the words: "Isn't it? He didn't cooperate with Zhou Yi very well?"
"The problem is that he only cooperates with Zhou Yi. He does not cooperate well with others..."
"That's it..." Rickon frowned, but didn't continue to ask.
He just cared about Mark by the way. The focus is still on Zhou Yi and Goetze. He doesn't care where Mark can play.
Liken asked casually, and then stopped mentioning this person.
But Yebara suddenly remembered this man.
He paid attention to Mark's performance during the recent training period and the previous changes.
One obvious change is that when Mark is fighting his teammates in training, it is not so easy to lose the ball.
It is said that he is strengthening his strength with Zhou Yi. It seems that this kid is really working hard.
When Mark was transferred to his team, he looked down on his performance. What is the value of a striker who can only rely on Zhou Yi to send a nanny to assist and score?
He completed a hat-trick in the team's game and could not change Yebara's evaluation of him.
To be honest, that is Zhou Yi’s high level, which does not mean that Mark Wagner’s level is also high.
But did not expect Mark Wagner did not give up. Although one day, his performance was very bad, but he continued to work hard. And the performance is getting better.
Youth team players are not as many as the first team. There are only twenty people, so the coaches know how well everyone is doing.
Today, Riken mentioned Mark suddenly, which reminded Yebara that Mark hadn't got the chance to play since he changed. Should we give such a hard-working young man a chance to show what he has learned in training?
Yebara used to think that Mark was a player who left Zhou Yi for nothing, but now, Mark has proved that he can have a good performance after leaving Zhou Yi in various training and team games. Against the opposing defender.
And not just dare to confront.
In the team game, Mark runs more aggressively than before. Even if he can't score a goal, his running can make room for other teammates.
When Mark was just promoted to u19, Yebara saw a young man who positioned himself as "Inzaghi's successor".
He can catch the assists sent by Zhou Yi and then score.
But beyond that, his contribution to the team is almost zero.
With the development of modern football for so many years, an Inzaghi striker has long lost its foothold.
The role of the striker is not just to score goals, but is given more responsibility, such as making a ball for teammates, such as holding the opponent's midfield and backcourt ball control and taking the ball, such as high defense to go up to intercept...
A pure copy of Inzaghi is worthless to Yebara.
He does not need a second Inzaghi.
However, after this period of hard work, Mark is also changing. From a forward who only knows how to score goals and can’t help except for scoring goals, he has become an aggressive runner who dares to play hard with the opposing defender. The one who can get the ball and participate in the team's offensive system.
He is more comprehensive than before.
This is not the kind of earth-shaking change that happened overnight. EbookFREE.me~ It's a little bit better every day, and every day is a little bit better than yesterday.
If it weren't for Riken to mention Mark suddenly, Yebara wouldn't even remember this.
But now that I think about it carefully, Yebara found out how much Mark has improved during this time.
And his efforts for these neither have reappeared in Yebara's mind.
Such a hard-working player, regardless of his ability, should he be given a chance?
but……
Yebara thought again that the next game is the Ruhr Derby, Dortmund u19 away to challenge Schalke 04u19.
This competition does not seem to be used for rewards... (Unfinished.)
