The last warm-up match ended. Mark scored twice in the game, putting an end to his warm-up match with such an outstanding performance, and naturally won himself the opportunity to start in the next game.

In the next game, in the fifteenth round of the U17 Western League, Dortmund U17 faces Schalke 04's U17 at home.

This is the "Rulder derby" between the U17 youth teams.

In the football world, there is a saying that "no derby is not football". It can be seen that "derby" has an important position in football.

"Derby" is first of all a British place name, but the most well-known one is probably still used as a sports term.

Simply put, a derby can mean some kind of confrontation between equality and geopolitical relationship.

For example, if there are two teams in a certain city, the confrontation between them will be called the "Derby War".

But if the strength of the two teams is too different, the derby will be meaningless. For example, the competition between AC Milan and Inter Milan, two teams belonging to Milan, is called the "Milan derby". However, if it is a game between AC Milan and a low-level team in the city of Milan, it is strictly considered a city derby, but no one will pay attention to such a derby.

Because the strength gap between the two sides is too big.

Therefore, the valued derby has to meet two conditions, be evenly matched, or you can’t think too much, and it has to be in the same area.

Of course, the latter condition is relatively relaxed and is completely changed according to the needs of the gimmick.

In the same city, it can be called a "city derby", in the same region, it can be called a "region derby", in the same country, it can be called a "national derby", and in the same Europe, it can be called a "European derby". Even two teams can be called a "North London derby" in the same direction in the same city...

But no matter what, as long as it is a derby, it will attract attention and involve many things outside of football.

When teenagers are simple, they always think that football should be simple and simple, and do not involve politics and money. However, when teenagers grow up, they will find that football, politics and money are natural symbiosis, especially in the derby, which is more vividly reflected.

For example, the most famous "old brand derby" in the world, Glasgow, Scotland, every collision between the two mortal enemies in the city is not just football, but also political demands and religious beliefs. That is really "no matter life and death, but higher than life and death".

In Germany, although Bayern Munich is the most famous, in Germany, the most intense derby has nothing to do with Bayern Munich.

Because that belongs to the "Rulder derby" between Dortmund and Schalke 04.

Even after Munich withdrew from the Bundesliga stage in 1860, the only derby in the entire Bundesliga that can be called heavyweight was Ruhr's mining area derby.

Because both teams are in the Ruhr area of ​​Germany, the game between these two teams is called the "Rulder Derby".

Unlike the class opposition contradiction between the rich and the poor, such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the contradiction in the Ruldby is a "civil war" - whether it is Dortmund or Schalke 04, they are all teams that came out of the mine, their supporters are miners, all working people, and there is no class contradiction.

But the two sides still hate each other so much, which is a regional contradiction.

Dortmund Football Club is located in Dortmund, while Schalke 04 is located in Schalke District of Gelsenkirchen.

These two clubs are only a few dozen kilometers away and are very close.

In such a close area, are there two top teams, one with two tigers?

Of course, I was beaten to death.

Every year, the first team competitions of the two clubs are the most eye-catching and are paid attention to by the whole world.

As a youth team, although the game is not that eye-catching, the intensity is not low. The grudges between these two teams extend from ordinary fans to players. Many of the youth team players are supporters of their respective teams. When they see a mortal enemy, they must be enemies, and they are particularly jealous.

When Zhou Yi entered the world of FIFAOL3, he discovered that his new opponent Schalke 04 youth team had entered the ranks of whom he could choose to be his opponent.

Of course he has to choose to play a game.

This system has a good effect for a midfield commander like him, that is, he can know the opponent's intelligence in advance and he has enough time to study the opponent.

He did this in these warm-up matches. Although it was a warm-up match, he still studied his opponents seriously and then competed with them.

It's a formal competition now, so it's even more impossible for him to neglect.

However, when he started to check Schalke 04U17's player list, he suddenly found that there was a name with a completely wrong style among a large number of German names.

Muge_Yang.

Mugeyang?

A sheep?

Depend on!

Zhou Yi suddenly had an inspiration in his mind.

Isn’t this Yang Muge?

Old Yang!

Lao Yang actually went to Schalke 04!?

Zhou Yi was really surprised and happy.

I heard Sun Pan say that a German club had a fancy to Yang Muge, but he never expected it to be Schalke 04!

He thought it might be Bayern Munich. After all, they have played against Bayern Munich Youth Team, so it is normal for them to be taken aback.

But unexpectedly, it was Schalke 04, who was invincible to the show at the beginning...

How did this team see Yang Muge performing?

Zhou Yi had many problems in his mind, but he did not plan to get up from the bed now and call Yang Muge to ask what was going on.

Because he didn't have any contact information for Yang Muge in Germany.

When it comes to the game, he has to ask Lao Yang why he is Schalke 04.

At the same time, he also thought that if Lao Yang can also join Schalke 04's first team in the future, will he have a Ruld Derby between Chinese players?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to have a youth team-level Ruhr derby with Yang Muge in the virtual world now!

Although it is a youth team-level competition, Zhou Yi has already felt this atmosphere from all aspects at Mark's home.

When the family sat together for dinner, the topics discussed were limited to this game. Mark's parents would frequently mention Schalke 04, not only the youth team, but also the first team.

And I feel so disdainful of this team in my words.

Whenever they say this, Cortana, who is sitting at the dining table, will show a hint of helplessness.

Although it is not very obvious, it is still discovered by Zhou Yi, who is good at observing life.

Cortana, who is not a fan, is obviously speechless about this extreme emotion among the fans.

While the Wagners and his wife were talking bad things about Schalke 04, they did not forget to cheer up Mark.

Although they all say encouragement words like "Mark, you must not be nervous", "Mark, you perform normally", "Mark, we all believe in you".

However, after processing Mark's ears and brain, the final analysis made Mark seem very nervous. If he doesn't perform well in such an important game, then no matter how many goals in the warm-up match were scored in the previous game, it would probably be useless!

Seeing his younger brother so nervous, Cortana turned his eyes to Zhou Yi. He found that the expression on Zhou Yi's face was much calmer, and he was even sneaking at him. Seeing that he found out, he quickly turned his gaze away.

This kid...

After Christmas, Cortana also secretly reflected on her past.

Did I do that time too much? Is that action too impactful for a little boy who came to China?

But after doing it, should she ask Zhou Yi to explain so that he should not think too much?

Cortana absolutely can't do anything like that.

"Okay, mom, if you continue talking, Mark can't even eat this meal." Cortana stopped his mother's nagging.

Only then did Mrs. Wagner notice that her son was so nervous that he was dull.

So she quickly wanted to make a remedy: "Ah, son, don't take what I just said to you. You can kick it casually, it doesn't matter what you kick it!"

To Mark's words, the subtext is actually "Anyway, we don't have hope for you anymore, so we don't care what you kick it"...

This was a fatal blow.

Hearing my mother say this, Mark pushed the plate: "I'm full!"

Then he lowered his head and went upstairs alone.

Cortana shrugged at her mother.

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Mark. It was the first time in more than a month that Mark had such a performance. He thought that the successive goals in the warm-up match should have completely bid farewell to Mark's disconfidence.

The first official game was the Ruld Derby between the youth teams, which really made it difficult for Mark...

※※※

The match against Schalke 04 Youth Team will soon come.

On the day of the competition, Mark and Zhou Yi set out from home, and this time Cortana also set out from home, so there is no need to worry about being late.

In fact, in the past few days, because Mark is about to usher in the most important game in his life, his sister Cortana lives home every day.

Five people sat full of old Wagner's not-so-sized Audi.

Three young men sat in the back seat, Zhou Yi was by the window, Mark was sitting in the middle, and Cortana was on the other side.

Fortunately, the three of them were not very fat, otherwise Mark and Zhou Yi might have missed the competition because they were on the way to the competition, because the car they were riding was too small and they were inconvenient to move. They kept their knees and ankles in one position for a long time and were injured in the ligament.

That was really miserable...

Sitting in the car to Bracker training base, Mark still seemed a little nervous, or as the game approached, he became even more nervous.

My hands are shaking when I am nervous.
To be continued...
