During the subsequent daily offensive drills, Schneider was asked to leave the field and became a spectator on the sidelines. Yebala used practical actions to prove that he was indeed excluding Schneider from the team's plans.

Although he has not yet announced the starting lineup, even a fool knows that Schneider will definitely not be able to start in the Youth DFB-Pokal final against Freiburg U19, and may not even make the squad. Because the team's other forward, Marco Stippelmann, who was injured at the beginning of the season, has recovered. If he is in good condition, he will squeeze Schneider out to go to Berlin.

You know, Stippelmann was originally the main forward for the U19s. Schneider was only transferred from the U17s after his injury. It can be said that he was temporarily borrowed.

For Schneider, the worst outcome now seems to be not that he can't play in the Youth DFB-Pokal final, but that he might be sent back to the U17s…

But at this time, no one has the leisure to calculate the area of Schneider's psychological shadow. Everyone is nervously preparing for the final against Freiburg U19.

Finally, the day came when there was only one day left to leave the Brackel training base for Berlin.

Early this morning, Zhou Yi and Mark packed all their personal luggage. Actually, there wasn't much, just some changes of clothes and toiletries.

At the door, Mrs. Wagner hugged and kissed both teenagers on the cheek.

"Good luck, kids. We will go to Berlin to cheer for you! Play well!"

"Don't worry, Mom," Mark said. "We've put a lot of effort into this day!"

Then he asked, "By the way, is my sister going?"

"She will definitely go too."

Hearing what his mother said, Mark was relieved.

If he could lift the Youth DFB-Pokal trophy, it would be a strong proof for Mark, proving that his ability is qualified for professional football. So he hopes his sister can witness this moment in person and prove it to her.

After Zhou Yi and Mark arrived at the training base, everyone carried a bag with them.

In the last training session in Brackel, Yebala still arranged a game project, after all, Zhou Yi and the others had never really won the competition in this game.

The trident still didn't win in this last training game.

However, in Yebala's opinion, he no longer cares whether the three can win. The purpose of this game is not to let them win, but to prevent them from relaxing their training requirements.

Now it seems that the effect is very good, so let's continue training.

After finishing the morning training at the Brackel training base, the whole team took a bus to the airport. They will fly to Berlin and then conduct an adaptive training session at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. In the evening of the next day, they will welcome their opponents and compete for the Youth DFB-Pokal.

The Berlin Olympic Stadium is the venue for the 2006 FIFA World Cup final.

When Zhou Yi watched the World Cup live on TV, he never dared to think that one day he would be able to play football on the World Cup final venue.

Now, in just three years, he has done it, achieving a leap in his life.

But someone next to him was even more excited than him.

"Berlin! Olympic Stadium! I really did it!" Mark shouted excitedly when he stood on the stadium grass.

The 2006 World Cup was held in Mark's home country, and Borussia Dortmund's home stadium, Westfalenstadion, also hosted World Cup matches. Mark, like any other boy at that time, dreamed that one day he could wear the German national team jersey and play in the World Cup final at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

As a Borussia Dortmund club academy player, this is Mark's first time stepping onto the grass of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

"Stop yelling, 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 any day for ten euros and see enough!"

Mark quickly shrank his neck and ran to warm up.

The other teammates laughed.

Schneider didn't laugh. He wasn't in the mood to laugh at Mark at all.

In the end, Stippelmann was unable to follow the team to Berlin because he had just recovered from his injury and his condition was not good. Schneider still made the match squad.

But from the tactics that the team is going to stick to in this game, it can be guessed that this final has nothing to do with Schneider.

He is here for a visit…

Half an hour of training, no "games", no offensive routine training, the team only warmed up and performed set pieces and shooting drills before leaving the stadium.

After them, it will be Freiburg U19's time to adapt to the venue.

Head coach Yebala did not return to the hotel with the team, but stayed at the stadium to attend a small pre-match press conference.

Although it is a youth team-level competition, it is, after all, the German Cup final, and it is still very formal, with a pre-match press conference, and the game will also be broadcast live nationwide.

It's just… it's hard to say how many people will watch the live broadcast. After all, it's a youth team-level competition. Not everyone will be interested in it. Maybe only the fans of Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg will care about the youth team's honor.

But for the Borussia Dortmund U19 players themselves, this is their "German Cup final". The "Youth" can be removed. In their world, this is the highest honor.

They will go all out for this German Cup. Whether they become Borussia Dortmund's first-team players in the future, or go to other teams to find opportunities, this German Cup will be their common glorious memory.

This is also the case for the Freiburg U19 players.

At the pre-match press conference, there were not many reporters who came to interview the U19 game, which was in stark contrast to the German Cup final for the senior team that will be held two days later. However, as a youth team coach, Yebala is used to this and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

He talked about the opponent.

"Freiburg has a very high level of youth training, and their football school has cultivated many excellent players. Christian Streich is also a very capable coach. As a fellow youth training coach, I very much respect his practice of dedicating more than ten years to youth training. Freiburg is also a strong team under his training. They were the champions of the German Youth League last year and are very strong."

"But you eliminated them in the quarter-finals of the German Cup last year. Does this mean that you have a greater psychological advantage in tomorrow's final and a greater chance of winning?"

"No, I don't think so. Every game is brand new, and there are no rules to speak of. We can't say that because we beat Freiburg a year ago, we will have a better chance of beating them tomorrow. This is unreasonable. The victory or defeat of a football game has a lot to do with the players' condition. I can't guarantee that the players on both sides will be in the same condition in two games a year apart. We will go all out to win the game and will not be affected by any probability."

Zhou Yi, who entered FIFAoL3, first played a game against Freiburg U19.

During this week, he would play against the German Cup final opponent in the virtual world every night.

He already knows a lot about this team.

Generally speaking, the system can simulate the team's usual tactics, unless their coach temporarily changes the tactics a few days before the game, like Yebala, then the system will naturally not be able 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 starting lineup and basic tactics, and also allow the computer Ai-controlled team to make substitution adjustments in the game, but those are very simple and primary changes, and 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 emotional and state fluctuations of people.

For example, Zhou Yi may encounter an opponent in reality. This opponent marks him closely, constantly kicks his ankles, pushes him, squeezes him, makes all kinds of small moves, and constantly tries to anger him with words…

And these things will not happen in the virtual system, because the opponents who play against Zhou Yi are all silent robots. They will not speak. Neither opponents nor teammates will talk to Zhou Yi.

The players in the virtual system can only accurately simulate their abilities and playing styles, but cannot simulate their temperaments and personalities, and cannot interact with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi once asked Chu Ling if it was possible to make all the players in the system as vivid and lively as her and the coaching staff.

Chu Ling's answer was that it would be too much of a burden on Zhou Yi's own brain, which could easily burn out his brain, causing fever in mild cases and coma in severe cases.

This scared Zhou Yi so much that he never dared to have such thoughts again.

So now the system's greater role is still in training, where there is no need for communication and interaction. Through system training, Zhou Yi's passing ability has been greatly enhanced. Now his passing data is the highest in the entire Borussia Dortmund U19 team, surpassing Götze.

As for the game part of the system, the main purpose is to let Zhou Yi understand the opponent's level of ability, but it cannot understand the opponent's state fluctuations at the time, and the tactical changes of the team's coach.

For Zhou Yi, this is enough. It's better than not even being able to name the opponent, right?

In the virtual world, Freiburg U19 adopted a high-pressing style of play, which is the same as what Yebala told them in the tactical meeting.

Their three lines are kept very tight, and the defense line often presses to the center line. From this point of view, they are a bit like Guardiola's Barcelona's style of play.

In the previous games, Zhou Yi would frequently encounter the opponent's siege in the midfield, and the offensive advance was frequently blocked.

Although there are many difficulties, there are also huge opportunities.

As long as he can penetrate the opponent's defense line, whether it is Mark, Götze, or Ginzeck, they will have the opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly in a one-on-one situation.

In the virtual world, Zhou Yi also directly moved Yebala's tactics to the team, and then continued to practice, trying various possibilities in the game.

Understand each player's playing preferences, habits, and ability levels.

Because he was fully prepared, Zhou Yi didn't have any special feelings about the upcoming German Cup final.

But Mark, who shared a room with him, was different.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He was nervous and looking forward to the upcoming final.

He just fell asleep in a daze like this, not knowing when.

On the other bed next to him, Zhou Yi had already started snoring…
