When the football was volleyed into the goal by Mark, Schneider, who was bored off the field, opened his mouth wide. Some sound was about to rush out of his throat, but in the end, no sound came out.

He just stared blankly as the three of them hugged each other.

They actually succeeded?

A blind chicken found the grain!

The six defenders also looked at each other.

"I... I didn't hold back..." Sobeck, who eventually pulled Mark down, spread his hands to defend himself, afraid that people would think he was holding back.

Although coach Jebara was also surprised and delighted by the three people's goal, he didn't stay stunned for too long. Instead, he blew his whistle: "How long are you going to celebrate? The game isn't over yet!"

The three of them ran back to the center circle together.

"How was it, Mark? I wasn't wrong, was I? It felt great, right?" Zhou Yi bumped Mark with his arm.

"Hehe, it was great!" Mark, who scored the goal, said with a smile.

"Come on, let's win another game!" Zhou Yi shouted, clenching his fist.

※※※

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

It was still rapid passing and cutting with runs, seemingly without any rules at all. Who should pass to whom between the three of them, and when to pass, was completely irregular. Perhaps even they themselves didn't know what they were going to do next.

Not to mention the defenders.

Faced with the three people's rapid passing and frequent cross-switching, even with six of them, they couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

At first, they tried to follow their target, but soon two groups of people collided, allowing the marked player to slip away.

Zhou Yi saw this situation and passed the football out in time.

Gotze took the ball and broke into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly sent the football into the goal.

2:3!

They won another game!

"Woah—!" There were already applause, cheers, and whistles from the sidelines.

When Jebara saw this scene, there was a gleam in his eyes. He had already thought about how to use this trident in the German Youth Cup final.

From this moment on, the trio finally became the trident he had always wanted to create!

※※※

The second time they won a single game, the three of them weren't as excited as the first time. They just high-fived each other and ran back.

Game six, if the trio could score this time, they would tie the overall score.

It was still rapid passing and cutting, and the opponents were still a little dizzy.

But this time, Mark's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and they lost the game.

When Mark's shot was saved, there was a sigh from the sidelines, and some people complained that the goalkeeper, Nikim, was heartless.

The team's main goalkeeper, Nikim, spread his hands: "I wouldn't dare to hold back!"

They had all watched how the three of them had gotten to where they were today, from the beginning when they quickly lost four games, and they were still laughing at the three of them, to now, when they were only one step away from tying the score and dragging the game into a decisive game, but failed.

These people also felt the same way, and were even more regretful than the three of them.

They felt that these three people deserved a victory.

Mark was also very frustrated. He knelt on the ground with his hands on his head, but Zhou Yi pulled him up from the ground: "There's nothing to regret, Mark. If this was a real game, we would already be two goals ahead of them."

Gotze also came up and said: "Yes, if this was a real game, I would have definitely made up for that shot just now."

After pulling up Mark, the three of them didn't say anything more and went straight to find their respective shuttle run partners.

Hohnschu spread his hands to Zhou Yi: "It's a pity that the ball didn't go in. Your luck was too bad."

Zhou Yi turned around and squatted down, carried Hohnschu on his back, and then stood up with force.

"I don't see it that way, Captain. If we had done better, luck wouldn't have been able to affect that ball. So we still didn't do well enough."

Hohnschu never expected Zhou Yi to say that—in football matches, luck is an indispensable part, whether you like it or not, it will always exist, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

But listening to Zhou Yi's words, he wanted to minimize the factor of luck.

This kid... has great ambitions!

Jebara watched the three teenagers complete a shuttle run with their heavy teammates on their backs, panting heavily.

Their speed was already a little faster than at the beginning.

This game also had the unexpected bonus of increased strength, which could be considered a pleasant surprise.

Zhou Yi now looked much stronger than when he first entered his team.

Looking at Zhou Yi like this, Jebara had a lot more confidence in winning the German Youth Cup final.

※※※

After Zhou Yi and the others completed their punishment, all the teammates who had been watching the show off the field went to the training field. What was next was the team's normal eight-on-ten offensive training.

But before this training started, Jebara still had something to say.

He announced that the trio's coordination ideas would be added to the training, and then required other offensive players participating in the training to cooperate with the three of them.

In other words, they were required to try their best to pass and run quickly. If they really couldn't do it, then they should provide some passing support points for the three of them, so that they could have several backup passing points when their original passing target was marked to death by the opponent.

He didn't require them to have very good rapid passing and cutting ability, as long as they could pass the football back to one of the trident members after receiving the ball.

Jebara knew that it was a bit late to start training this offensive idea with only one week left before the game, and the training effect would definitely not be very good. But it was better to sharpen the spear before the battle. Besides, the core of this set of routines was the trident, and because of his game, the three trident members had been training together for more than a month, so their cooperation was still guaranteed.

As long as these three people could perform to their level, and the others didn't mess things up, that would be enough.

Everyone didn't expect that what they thought was a game would now become the team's offensive tactic.

And in the training, Schneider, who was tall and good at headers, exposed his shortcomings—in this set of offensive tactics, what was needed was agility and speed, and Schneider didn't have either of these. He was over 1.9 meters tall and weighed nearly 90 kilograms, so he was neither agile nor fast.

In training, as long as the football reached his feet, the attack would basically end. Sometimes, even if the ball didn't reach his feet, it would cause the attack to end because he either blocked the passing route or blocked the offensive players' running positions.

Jebara had to frequently blow his whistle and loudly ask Schneider: "Run! Run! Can you run, Schneider?"

"Quick pass, quick receive! Quick pass, quick receive! Quick pass, quick receive! Don't take more than three touches every time you handle the ball... Is that difficult? Is that difficult? Ah, Schneider? Is it difficult for you?!"

Schneider, who was being scolded by coach Jebara, was a little dazed. This daze was not a daze caused by being scolded, but a daze about the training. He couldn't keep up with that rapid passing and running style of play in his mind, let alone his body.

Zhou Yi saw this scene and suddenly felt very emotional. Three months ago, when he and Mark had just entered the U19 team for a week, Mark had worked very hard in training in order to play in the game as soon as possible, but he always made mistakes and was scolded bloody by coach Jebara.

At that time, Schneider took the opportunity to make fun of Mark, causing Mark to feel extremely depressed and wanting to give up at one point.

Back then, Schneider probably wouldn't have imagined that three months later, it would be his turn to be scolded dizzy and at a loss by coach Jebara.

After scolding Schneider, the training restarted, but Schneider's performance did not improve at all, and the training was stopped again when it came to him.

The time was already tight, and the team needed to adapt to and familiarize themselves with the trident's rhythm as soon as possible, which made Jebara very concerned about the efficiency and quality of each training session. But the first training session was repeatedly blocked because of Schneider.

This made Jebara very angry. After scolding Schneider, seeing that Schneider still didn't make any progress, Jebara, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally drove Schneider off the training field.

Of course, he didn't directly scold Schneider and tell him to get out of the training field.

On the contrary, he was different from when he scolded Schneider before. He said to Schneider in a calm tone: "Schneider, I see that your condition today doesn't seem to be very good. How about this, you should go down and rest first. Don't force yourself to train when you're not in good condition, it will be counterproductive. You can watch our training below, maybe it will give you some inspiration and help, right?"

He was amiable, but Schneider's face changed drastically.

Not only him, but the expressions of the other U19 players also became complicated—Jebara has been the coach of this team since 2007, and many of these players were brought up by him, so they naturally knew the temperament of this coach very well.

He is very strict with training requirements during training and is completely inhumane. This can be seen from the game he arranged for Zhou Yi and the others. That was not a "game" at all, but a "torture".

If you are absent-minded during training, or if you don't do well enough, you will immediately hear his piercing whistle and angry roar.

But in fact, everyone is more willing for the coach to treat them like this.

Because if he doesn't rush at you like an angry bull, but instead is amiable like now and asks you to leave the field, it means you are really going to be unlucky!

His strictness towards players is because he thinks you are worth being treated so strictly during training. But if he no longer demands you strictly, but instead considers you and lets you relax a little during training, it means he has given up on you. He doesn't think you can meet his training requirements, and you have no future in this team!

Speaking of which, he hadn't given up on Mark when he roared at Mark before... but Mark was completely unfamiliar with the new coach's style and was so scared that he almost gave up on himself.

Schneider has been on this team for almost a season, and he naturally knows what kind of person his coach is.

So as soon as he heard the coach say this, he immediately became excited: "No, coach, I can keep up..."

But Jebara shook his head and said: "Don't force yourself, forcing yourself will not help you improve your training effect, Schneider. I told you to rest, so you should rest obediently. Remember, rest is also a kind of training. Okay, go down, we are going to start training."

After speaking, Jebara turned around and turned his back to Schneider.

Schneider stared blankly at this scene. Some players cast a sympathetic look at him, but soon turned their heads to prepare for retraining.

But more people were indifferent to Schneider's situation, and didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist at all.

Schneider could only and had to accept this ending. He turned around, drooping his head, and walked off the field.

The unattended back was lonely and desolate.

Time is really a pig-slaughtering knife. It only took three months to kill a pig...
