On the way home after the training, Mark was very excited to talk to his father about his performance in this game.

Old Wagner didn't speak, drove quietly, listened to his son quietly, but from the smile on his face, it could be seen that he was still very happy for his son.

As a fan, he naturally knows what it means to perform well in the team.

This means that in the U19 league this weekend, his son will have a great chance to appear in the starting list of the game!

After returning home, Mark also told his mother the news, and naturally he got excited hugs and kisses.

"Oh, my Mark! I knew you were the best!" Later, Mrs. Wagner let go of Mark and turned to call her daughter Cortana, asking her to watch the game by then.

After making a phone call, she hummed and went to the kitchen again.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi suddenly envied Mark. Because of his family, his mother would not support him playing football that much.

In fact, as the main striker of the school team, he has played a lot of games, but his mother has never watched a game.

But my dad, when he is not particularly busy, will choose to go to watch the ball on the spot, cheer for himself.

Alas, when can my mother go to the scene so happily to see how good I am playing!

Zhou Yi couldn't help but look forward to...

After the game in the middle of the week, it was time to play.

On the day before the game, head coach Peter Ybala announced the big list of the Dortmund U19 home game against Essen U19.

Unsurprisingly, both Zhou Yi and Mark were selected to this big list.

Of course, Schneider is among them.

But Yebara did not announce the starting list.

Although it has not been announced, everyone can guess who can start.

Zhou Yi and Mark, who were outstanding in the mid-week training game, should start if nothing unexpected.

And Schneider may be put on the bench...

After all, he did not perform as well as Mark in the team game, and he was not as active as Mark in his usual training. In addition, he was late for the first training class this week...

With so many slots, how could it still occupy the starting lineup?

It would be fine if there was no Mark, but now...

Schneider seemed to have guessed his own destiny, and his face was very unsightly.

In fact, since that team's training game, Schneider's expression has not looked good.

He also seemed to feel the threat from Mark.

In the evening when Zhou Yi and Mark returned home, they really saw Cortana.

Mrs. Wagner asked excitedly, "How's it going to start?"

Mark shook his head: "The starting list hasn't been announced yet, mom."

"Not announced yet?" Mrs. Wagner was a little disappointed and worried when she heard Mark say this. She was worried about the long night dreams, and what will happen to tomorrow's game.

Seeing her mother's face change, Mark quickly comforted her mother: "But I don't think there is any problem, mother. Don't worry about it..."

Zhou Yi also quickly explained to his friends next to him: "Mrs. Wagner, Mark's performance in the mid-week training game is very good, so I also think he should have no problem starting tomorrow."

After listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, Mrs. Wagner laughed: "I hope so."

Cortana sat on the sofa flipping through the books, and it seemed that she hadn't heard Mark's conversation with his mother, without even raising her head.

The next day, the Marks and Zhou Yi drove to the Bracker training base.

A lot of players' parents, relatives and friends have come to the training base.

Although the official U19 league and U17 league are played on the same field, the degree of attention is different.

Zhou Yi has only participated in the official U17 league once. At that time, he felt that many people came to see the ball, but when he came to the U19 league venue today, he felt that there were really few U17 players...

As the highest team in the youth team level, U19 is naturally the most watched in the youth team level.

Moreover, this is an official youth league, not a warm-up match.

Today in the Bundesliga, U19 is becoming more and more important. More and more U19 players have been transferred to the first team through their performance in the youth team game, not only Dortmund, in other Bundesliga clubs. That's all.

On the other hand, U23, which was originally the first-team talent reserve, is the status of the reserve team, but it is getting more and more awkward.

U23 has become a gathering place for punished first team players, injured first team members who need to recover, or players who can't play at all in the first team. Can't see the existence of hope.

It's U19, it's so energetic.

In this game, Dortmund U19's opponent is Essen U19, which is a team that is not strong. After fifteen rounds of the league, they are ranked ninth in the U19 Western Conference, and the Western Conference is a total of fourteen Teams participate.

Dortmund is currently ranked first.

The strength of the two sides is very different. This is not a game with suspense. As long as Dortmund plays normally, they can easily beat their opponents at home.

What makes Dortmund U19 players more concerned is actually the starting lineup arrangement before the game.

In the locker room of U19, Zhou Yi and Mark sat together, waiting for the head coach to announce the starting list.

Although in fact it is already a thing of the past.

But before it was announced, there was always some tension.

Mark is like that.

Yebara did not sell anything, and began to announce the starting list with a piece of paper.

Starting from the goalkeeper, the names he reported are basically not unexpected, and all players who have performed well in training and team competitions this week have entered the starting list.

Zhou Yi is the same.

When he heard that his name was reported, Zhou Yi was not surprised. His goal was to play in the first team. If he can't play in the U19 now, what first team do he want?

He is more concerned about his friend, Mark.

After hearing the news from Zhou Yi, Mark also happily bumped into Zhou Yi. Then he straightened his chest and held his breath, waiting for the head coach to call out his name.

The other teammates were not surprised by Zhou Yi's appearance. Zhou Yi has shown his ability in a week of training and team competitions, and has won the recognition of many teammates.

It makes sense that this kid could come directly from U17 to U19. His level definitely meets U19 requirements.

Yebara continued to read.

"Getzer."

This was also an unexpected decision.

After Goetze there are only two forwards left.

Mark was nervous.

"Kinchek." Yebara read.

Daniel Kinchek only came to Dortmund in 2007. He was still in U17 last season and got the top scorer in the U17 Western Conference. It has always been the main force after U19. So it's no surprise that he can start.

There is only one place left.

Will it be Mark?

Many people think that this is no suspense.

Schneider sat in his seat, lowering his head so that people could not see his expression, but it can be guessed that it would not look good.

This feeling of waiting until trial is really uncomfortable.

Zhou Yi touched Mark, his expression "waiting for the name to be called".

Yebara did not raise his head, and continued to read: "Schneider."

There was a sudden inhalation in the locker room.

And Schneider, who originally lowered his head, raised his head violently, and then he clenched his fists hard.

"Bang!" he gritted his teeth and glanced at Mark. Seeing Mark sitting in his place in shock, Schneider's face showed a smug smile.

If it were not for the head coach to be present, he would really have to satirize the toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

Do you think you can start with a hat trick in the team game?

How easy is it to start?

Mark was completely stunned. He didn't think he wasn't a starter.

For an instant, his entire brain went blank.

All the sounds around were gone.

Zhou Yi was also surprised. He didn't expect Mark to start. He glanced at Mark and found that Mark was in a state of slack.

Zhou Yi couldn't understand why Mark could not start.

He glanced at the head coach Ybala. After reading the list, Ybala folded the paper away and started to talk about the precautions in the game. He didn't have to explain the meaning of the list at all. Everyone reacted the same to this list.

Although Zhou Yi has many questions in his heart, he also knows that it is not time for questions. So he said nothing, but patted Mark's shoulder to comfort him.

Mark seemed to finally recover, and hung his head down.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi sighed in his heart.

Finally, Mark was a little confident. This time, this matter might be a heavy blow to his self-confidence.

Hello, Mark, don't you want to go back to the past!

Mrs. Wagner sat in the stands, wriggling her buttocks, and Cortana, who was sitting next to her, couldn't stand it anymore. She put down the book and complained, "Mom, can you sit quietly?"

"Who can sit quietly at this time? It's you, don't you think you are out of place? You can be here, at this time, you can still read a book!" Mrs. Wagner criticized her daughter.

"Will I just not have to read a book in the game?"

"That's for granted! Today is your brother's first start at U19! At such an exciting time, if you still read, I can't spare you!"

As he was saying, Cortana suddenly pointed at the stadium and said, "Brother is playing."

Mrs. Wagner quickly turned to look excitedly: "Where?"

Soon, she saw Mark sitting down on the bench of Dortmund U19.

"Really... eh?"

Mrs. Wagner quickly frowned: "How did he sit on the bench?"

"It seems that... the son is not the starter?" Old Wagner also saw it~lightnovelpub.net~ He said hesitantly.

"How is this possible?!" Mrs. Wagner shouted incredulously at her husband. "My son is doing so well, why can't he be a starter?"

Old Wagner narrowed his neck: "How do I know this? This is the coach's arrangement..."

"Coach coach! Can't even see my Mark's ability!" Mrs. Wagner had to let the head coach of U19, poor Yebara...

Soon, the real starting player began to enter, Zhou Yi was among them, but Mark really failed to start. He sat on the bench and shrank the whole person in a thick jacket, as if to use the jacket to isolate the whole world...

"This... how is it possible..." Sitting in the stands before the start of the game, Mrs. Wagner, who was full of joy, didn't know how many times her son's performance was dreamed in her heart, but the reality was so cruel that she could only mutter Mumbling.
