Chapter 54 Going to Berlin
During the next day's offensive training, Schneider was invited out of the court and became a spectator standing on the sidelines to watch the game. Yebala used practical actions to prove that he did exclude Schneider from the team's plan.
Although he has not announced the roster yet, all fools know that Schneider must be unable to play in the Youth German Cup final against Freiburg U19, and maybe he may not even be able to enter the roster. Because another striker of the team, Marco Stipperman, who was injured at the beginning of the season, has returned from injury. If he recovers well, he will squeeze Schneider out of him to Berlin.
You know, Stipperman was originally the main striker of U19. Schneider was only drawn from U17 after he was injured, and it can be said to be a temporary borrowing.
For Schneider, the worst result now seems to be that he is unable to play in the Youth German Cup final, but that he may be returned to u17 again...
However, at this time no one had the leisure to calculate the area of Schneider's psychological shadow. Everyone was nervously preparing for the final against Freiburg U19.
Finally, I came to Berlin only one day before leaving Brakel training base.
Early in the morning that day, Zhou Yi and Mark packed all their carry-on luggage, but in fact they had nothing to do, so they just changed their clothes and toiletries.
At the door, Mrs. Wagner hugged the two teenagers one by one and gave a voucher.
"Good luck to you, kids. We will go to Berlin to cheer you on! Kick you well!"
"Don't worry, mom," Mark said, "We have put in a lot of effort for this day!"
Then he asked, "By the way, will my sister go?"
"She will definitely go, too."
After hearing what my mother said, Mark felt relieved.
If he can win the trophy of the Youth German Cup, it will be a powerful proof for Mark, proving that his ability is competent for professional football. So he hopes that his sister can witness this moment on the spot and prove it to her.

After Zhou Yi and Mark arrived at the training base, each of them carried a bag with them.
In the last training class held by Brakel, Yebala arranged the game project, after all, Zhou Yi and the others had never really won the game before.
In this last training class game, Trident still didn't win.
However, in Yebala's opinion, he no longer cared whether the three people could win. The purpose of this game was not to let them win. Instead, it was to let them not relax their training requirements.
Now it seems that the effect is very good, so let's continue practicing.
After finishing the morning training at Brakel Training Base, the team took a bus to the airport, and they will fly to Berlin. Then, at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, an adaptive training was held, and on the evening of the next day, they welcomed their opponents to compete for the Youth German Cup.
The Berlin Olympic Stadium is the venue for the final of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
When Zhou Yi watched the World Cup live broadcast on TV, he never dared to think that one day he would be able to play football on the World Cup finals.
Now in just three years, he has done it and achieved a leap in his life.
But someone next to him was more excited than him.
"Berlin! Olympic Stadium! I really did it!!" Mark shouted excitedly as he stood on the turf of the stadium.
The 2006 World Cup was held in Mark's home country. Dortmund's home court, Westphalon Stadium, also hosted the World Cup match. Mark was like any boy at that time, dreaming that one day he could wear the German national team's jersey and play in the World Cup final at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
As a Dortmund club escalator, this is the first time Mark has stepped on the turf of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
"Stop howling, Mark! Hurry up and warm up! We only have half an hour!" Yebala shouted at Mark. "If you want to visit this stadium, you can come in for ten euros a day, so that you can see enough!"
Mark hurriedly shrank his neck and ran to warm up.
The other teammates burst into laughter.
Schneider didn't laugh, and he was not in a mood to joke with Mark at all now.
In the end, Stipperman was just recovering from injury and was in a state of state. He was unable to follow the team to Berlin, and Schneider was still on the roster.
But it can be guessed from the team's tactics that they have to insist on playing in this game that Schneider was not able to win this final.
He came here to visit...

Half an hour of training. There was no "game" and no offensive routine training. The team just conducted warm-up, set-piece and shooting training, and left the court.
After them, it will be the adaptation training time for Freiburg U19.
Instead of following the team to return to the hotel, head coach Yebala stayed on the court for a small press conference before the game.
Although it is a youth team-level competition, it is the German Cup final after all, and it is still very formal. There is a pre-match press conference, and the game will also be broadcast live across the country.
But... it's hard to say how many people watch this live broadcast. After all, it's a youth team-level game, and not everyone will be interested in it. Perhaps only fans of Dortmund and Freiburg will care about the honor of the youth team.
But for the Dortmund U19 players themselves, this is their "German Cup final", and the "youth" can be removed, and in their world, this is the highest honor.
They will do their best for this German Cup. Whether they will become first-team players in Dortmund in the future or look for opportunities in other teams, this German Cup will be their shared glorious memory.
This is also true for Freiburg U19 players.
At the pre-match press conference, there were not many reporters who came to interview the U19 game, which was in sharp contrast to the German Cup final of the adult team that will be held in two days. However, as the coach of the youth team, Yebala has become accustomed to this and does not think there is anything wrong.
He talked about his opponent.
"Freiburg's youth training level is very high, and their football school has trained many excellent players. Christian Streich is also a very capable coach. As a youth training coach, I respect his practice of devoted more than ten years to youth training. Freiburg is also a strong team under his training. They were the champions of the All-German Youth League last year and are strong."
"But you eliminated them in the quarterfinals of the German Cup last year. Does that mean you have a more psychological advantage and a greater chance of winning in tomorrow's final?"
"No, I don't think so. Every game is brand new and there is no rule. It cannot be said that because we beat Freiburg a year ago, we will have a greater chance of defeating them tomorrow. This is unreasonable. The victory or defeat of a football match has a lot to do with the players' status. I cannot guarantee that the two games that are separated by a year are exactly the same. We will do our best to win the game without being affected by any probability."

Zhou Yi, who entered fifaol3, first played a game with Freiburg U19.
During this week, he would fight against his opponents in the German Cup finals in the virtual world every night.
I already know this ball very well.
Generally speaking, the system can simulate the tactics used by this team, unless their coach temporarily changes the tactics a few days before the game, just like Yebala, the system will naturally be unable to guess.
The system cannot simulate some tactical adjustments in the game, because the workload involved is too large, which is a huge and dangerous burden for Zhou Yi's brain. Just like playing a game, the system can simulate the opponent's lineup and basic tactics, and can also allow the team controlled by the computer AI to make substitutions in the game, but that are all very simple and basic changes. More complex and detailed adjustments are completely impossible.
That is human work.
Accidents can be simulated according to probability, but it is difficult to simulate the ups and downs of a person's emotions and state.
For example, in reality, Zhou Yi would meet an opponent who was close to him, constantly kicking his ankle, pushing him, squeezing him, and various small moves, and constantly trying to irritate him with words...
And these things will not happen in the virtual system, because those who compete with Zhou Yi are silent robots, and they can't speak, whether they are opponents or teammates. They will not speak and communicate with Zhou Yi.
The players in the virtual system can only accurately simulate their abilities and playing styles, but cannot simulate their temper and personality, nor can they interact with Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi once asked Chu Ling if she could make all the players in the system lively and lively like her and the coaching staff.
Chu Ling's answer was that if that was the case, it would be too burdened on Zhou Yi's own brain, which would easily burn the brain. At the mildest, there would be a fever, and at the severest, there would be a coma.
This scared Zhou Yi so much that he never dared to have such thoughts again.
So the greater function of the system now lies in training, and there is no need for communication and interaction here. Through system training, Zhou Yi's ability to pass ball has been greatly enhanced. Now his passing data is the highest in the team in Dortmund u19, and has surpassed Gotze.
As for the system's game part, the main purpose is to let Zhou Yi understand the opponent's level and ability, but he cannot understand the opponent's ups and downs at that time and the tactical changes of the team coach.
For Zhou Yi, this is enough, it is better than someone who can't even call his opponent's name?
In the virtual world, Freiburg U19 adopts a high-pressing style, which is the same as what Jebala told them at a tactical meeting.
Their three lines remain very compact, and the back line often needs to be pressed to the center line. In this regard, they are a bit like the Barcelona style of play coached by Guardiola.
In previous games, Zhou Yi would frequently encounter opponents' siege and blockade in the midfield, and his offensive progress was frequently blocked.
Although there are many difficulties, there are also huge opportunities.
As long as you can penetrate the opponent's defense, whether it is Mark, Gotze, or Jinchek, you will get the opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly with one shot.
In the virtual world, Zhou Yi also moved Yebala's tactics directly to the team, and then continued to practice and tried various possibilities during the game.
Understand the opponent's preferences and abilities of each player playing football.
With full preparation, Zhou Yi did not have any special feelings about the upcoming German Cup final.
But Mark, who was in the same room as him, is different.
He tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, nervous and longed for the upcoming final.
I just couldn't know when I fell asleep in a deep sleep.
On the other bed beside him, Zhou Yi had already started to snore...
