Vol 2 Chapter 64: Playoff finals

For the Freiburg u19 players, this is a great opportunity for revenge.
Certainly some of them will be dissatisfied after losing in the finals, thinking that they did not expect that Dortmund u19 would adopt such a fast-forward and fast-running tactic before the game and beat them by surprise.
They lost the game without preparing.
This time, they have enough time to prepare, and they will never let Dortmund beat them.
The first round of the semi-finals began after a week of fists.
The first semi-final match was between Mainz 05u19 and Werder Bremen u19. The first round of the two sides was played at Mainz 05 at home. As a result, Mainz lost to Werder Bremen 0:1 at home.
At the same time as Mainz 05 and Werder Bremen, the home match between Dortmund and Freiburg kicked off.
In this game, Freiburg suffocated to get revenge. Although they were away, they were fighting fiercely.
It is still a high pressure, but it is more fierce than the German Cup final.
And Dortmund is still responding with the tactics of fast pass.
In the end, the two sides staged a goal fight, scoring a total of five goals. 】☆
Dortmund defeated Freiburg 3:2 at home.
Freiburg still failed to revenge, but they scored two away goals, which is the key.
Four days later, the second round of the semifinals took place in Freiburg.
As long as Freiburg can win 1-0 in this game, they will use the advantage of scoring away goals to eliminate Dortmund and achieve revenge.
The two sides continued the tactics of the previous game, but the result of this game was slightly different from what everyone predicted.
Dortmund, who played on the road, played better. They defeated Freiburg U19 3-1 on the road and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 6:3 to advance to the final.
Getze staged a hat-trick in this game, which can be said to shine.
Although Zhou Yi had only one assist, he was pushed behind by this hearty victory.
After the game, Streich stated that he lost his mouth and was convinced.
The defending champion of the league is thus out in the semifinals.
On the other side, Mainz, who lost 0 to 1 in the first round, also went to the road, and 3:0 defeated Werder Bremen u19.
And the person who shined in this game was their captain Andre Schulle.
He scored twice and also assisted with a goal. It can be said that Mainz's victory was entirely his personal victory.
The Mainz he led was Dortmund's opponent in the national finals.
This is a showdown between two highly-regarded geniuses in the country-Andre Schulle v Mario Gotze.

"Is Xuerle awesome?" Zhou Yi asked Mark.
"Of course, but not as good as Mario." Mark said.
The two were on the field near their home. After finishing the semifinals, Yebara took another day off for the team, so the two had time to conduct their training.
"First of all, he is older than Mario. It is remarkable that Mario is younger than him. Secondly, in terms of championship honor, Mario has won the European championship." , Mark is naturally on the side of Goetze.
"Hey, you praise him here, the kid can't hear it, Mark." Zhou Yi said.
"I'm not trying to please Mario! I'm telling the truth." Mark retorted.
"Actually, you are also very powerful, Mark." Zhou Yi said.
Mark scratched his head embarrassedly: "No, I'm far worse than them..."
"That's just now. In the future, you will also be selected for the German national team, and then play the World Cup with Goetze and Schulle." Zhou Yi patted Mark.
Mark heard Zhou Yi say this, and began to dream of such pictures in his mind.
He was wearing a German national team jersey, standing next to Goetze, and on the other side stood Xuerle, they lined up to stand on the stadium, the German national anthem sounded in the stadium, in front of him was an empty auditorium, people held hands In the camera, mobile phone, press the shutter, which makes the stand become a galaxy of stars.
This picture is so beautiful...
The fantasy Mark was suddenly patted by Zhou Yi: "Okay, don't dream, it's really like that. First of all, you have to train. Come on, rest enough."
"Oh..." Mark followed Zhou Yi to get up, and he still had some intentions.
Since taking the Youth German Cup, Mark has dared to think more.
The German national team...
Following Zhou Yi, he clenched his fists hard.

Mainz didn't use Freiburg's high-speed tactics, but Yebara still used the fast-pass and fast-run tactics, requiring players to run more in the game and try to run as fast as possible.
If it was Zhou Yi who had just arrived in Dortmund, there would be no way to compete for this tactic. If it was him at that time, he could not stand on this team.
But thanks to the training for more than seven months, Zhou Yi insists on running in the morning every morning, and uses morning running to train his physical fitness.
This made his physical fitness improve quickly.
At u17, he couldn't even finish a complete game. But now, although sometimes he will be replaced early in the game, but not
Not because of lack of fitness, but the goal of the head coach is to protect him from being kicked on the court.
Another reason for Zhou Yi's physical fitness is that Zhou Yi's strength has increased.
In the past, Zhou Yi had to spend more energy to fight against the opponent in the game, or more physical strength to avoid the opponent, which will inevitably cause his physical energy to be quickly consumed.
But now that Zhou Yi's strength has improved, his physical confrontation has also been strengthened. In the game, he no longer needs to use excess energy to fight with his opponent.
The day before the game against Mainz, Zhou Yi also performed strength training in the hotel gym.
After coming to Germany for more than seven months, he deeply felt the gap between himself and his dream. He had no other way but to work harder and harder.

In fact, when it comes to attention, the final of the u19 league is not as high as the Youth German Cup final.
It can be seen only from the point of TV rebroadcast that there is live TV live broadcast of the Youth German Cup finals, but there is no TV rebroadcast of the U19 League finals.
Although the attention is not as good as the German Cup finals, the players on both sides still attach great importance to this game.
After all, this is related to the attribution of honor.
During the handshake before the match, Zhou Yi looked at Xuerle. This face-shaped player is taller than Goetze and himself.
Zhou Yi found that Xu Erle's eyes were basically resting on Geze next to him, even when shaking hands with himself, he was also watching Geze.
So Zhou Yi, who was supposed to release his hand when he held it, gripped Xuerle's hand tightly, but did not release it again.
At first, Xu Erle didn't care about the person in front of him, and he habitually wanted to withdraw his hand to shake hands with Mario Gotze.
But he did not pull out. But his body had already moved forward, so his body was pulled by Zhou Yi in a very awkward posture.
He looked back at Zhou Yi strangely.
"Hi, my name is Zhou Yi."
Zhou Yi greeted him.
Xu Erle looked confused.
So Zhou Yi repeated: "My name is Zhou Yi."
Xu Erle was still confused, and did not understand why this person introduced himself so solemnly, but he nodded his head to show that he had heard it.
Seeing that Xu Erle responded to himself, Zhou Yicai let go of Xu Erle's hand, and Xu Erle turned around and took Geze's hand, staring at his opponent, his eyes gleaming.
The Mainz players who shook hands with Zhou Yi behind him thought that Zhou Yi would also introduce himself to him.
But this time Zhou Yi returned to normal and shook hands with him~EbookFREE.me~ Then he let go of his hand and said nothing...

After the game started, Dortmund's tactics were of course fast-cut with the trident as the core.
This is what they have been using recently, and also won the German Cup championship with this tactic, there is no reason not to continue to play like this.
Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel sitting on the sidelines did not worry much about his team's ability to withstand Dortmund's sharp offensive tactics.
He seriously studied the three games of Dortmund and Freiburg, summed up a lot of lessons from Streich's failure, knew the weakness of Dortmund's tactics, and knew what Mainz should do.
He chose to give up midfield, let the team quickly retreat in defense, return to the frontier of the penalty area, and organize a copper wall.
He is now waiting to see Dortmund's fast pass tactics hit the wall that Mainz carefully constructed!
