Chapter 111 Chapter 111 You hate me, and I hate it too...

The referee in the player's tunnel saw the two people suddenly quarreling and gave them a warning.

Leandri felt a little relieved when he found out that he was not the only one being scolded, and then secretly glanced at Valdes standing next to him. This goalkeeper who has been selected for the Spanish national team since 2004 has not made his national team debut until today. It's not that he is bad, but Casillas' performance in recent years has been too terrifying. Wherever he stands, no one can shake his position as the main goalkeeper of Spain.

This year is the World Cup year. Although Leandri is only 20 years old and a young goalkeeper, he also wants to report to the national team and taste the food in the training team.

But Leandri soon turned his attention back to today's game. No matter whether he likes this team or not, who dares to relax when playing against Barcelona?

The referee walked in front and led the players of both teams onto the field. Just as Leandri was about to grab the caddy's hand, the little boy put his fingers on his nose and made a giggling face at him.

Shrugging, well, he knew that he, the little prince of Real Madrid, would definitely not be welcome in Barcelona.

Pique started laughing loudly from behind, but as he walked into the stadium, the tall defender soon stopped laughing, and even Puyol quickly straightened his expression.

"The unwanted wild child!"

"The unwanted wild child!"

"The unwanted wild child!"

On the side close to the player tunnel, there were dozens of extreme Barcelona fans shouting in unison to Leandri.

Rolfes didn't understand Spanish. He saw Leandri, who was standing behind him, suddenly walked past him and angrily went to find the referee. Puyol next to him also had a bad expression on his face.

"What happened on the field? Why was Leandri the first one to rush up to the referee?"

"Wow, the director sent a message that a small number of extreme Barcelona fans deliberately waited for the players to enter the field and verbally insulted them!"

"Extreme fans? Those must be very unpleasant words. What did they say? It looks like they were directed at Leandri."

"When you say Leandri is a wild child that no one wants, you are probably referring to his background. It's no secret that he was adopted from an orphanage by Florentino."

"F**k! Punishment! Barcelona must be punished! How much psychological burden and mental damage will such remarks cause to a 20-year-old player who is preparing for the game? The fact that he grew up in an orphanage should not be a reason for others to attack him!"

"Although I think the same as you, my intuition tells me that it is impossible."

"Castro led his men forward, and Cross also went up. They all said that they were very close brothers. Now I definitely believe it. They are about to go up and beat people up!"

The two commentators of Leverkusen were the first to notice what was happening on the field.

Extreme fans are a headache for every club. If they shout such words at the players on the field, the club will probably be fined after the game, and the public pressure will also be on Barcelona.

Seeing that Leandri went to the referee to protest immediately, Puyol quickly ran in front of the latter and assured Leandri that he would stop them. But Puyol didn't need to do anything now. These cowardly Barcelona fans only dared to shout like this. When they saw that Leandri didn't give Puyol any face and insisted on an explanation, they shut up immediately and disappeared in the crowd.

The Leverkusen players had no idea what was going on, but they had a West German-mixed-race player named Castro on their starting roster. The full-back gave a brief explanation with an angry look on his face, then rushed to Leandri to help with his teammates who shared the same hatred for the enemy, determined to get an explanation from the other side.

They were shouting so loudly, how could anyone not hear them? The camera was so close that they could hear it clearly in the broadcast.

But the referee didn't hear it.

He even sternly warned the first people who came over, including Leandri and Rolfes, that if they didn't go back, he would take out his cards!

When had everyone in the pharmaceutical factory ever been treated like this? Friedrich was just about to roll up his sleeves and get to work, and Kroos rushed forward, almost unable to stop Leandri.

"I'm fine. I won't be affected by them."

Few people watch the Spanish teams' games in European football, but they have a lot of Leandri. Compared with other teams, at least they don't have any cards.

“Stamford Bridge.”

Leandri only said the name of a stadium, but he instantly calmed down all the teammates who gathered around him. The timeline of this tragedy was too recent, and everyone instantly realized that this would not be an easy game in all aspects.

"Calm down, winning the game is the most important thing. We'll talk about the rest after the game." Kroos's hands were so strong that Leandri almost doubted who was the goalkeeper between the two of them. He had to persuade him to calm down.

"What are you talking about?" Pique heard it vaguely. After all, Chelsea's home stadium is also very famous.

Leandri looked back at him, Pique still had that expression on his face, "Just like you hate me, I hate you Barcelona as much as I do."

Both sides continued to line up, and with the referee's whistle, Leverkusen's first Champions League knockout match in nearly eight years finally kicked off.

Now is the time when Barcelona's passing and controlling techniques are popular. Guardiola is in charge of Barcelona and the golden generation of La Masia is at the right time. The tiki-taka tactics are used to the extreme here.

Heynckes didn't even think about competing for the ball with the opponent. He even thought about practicing offense and defense with the opponent in his own half from the beginning. It’s not that Grandpa Hai is weak, but this situation is a common occurrence for Barcelona’s opponents. It is very difficult for them to get the ball when playing against Barcelona. Even if they manage to seize the ball by taking advantage of Barcelona's mistakes, they will soon lose the ball again due to the opponent's tight high-pressure defense.

So since the game ended a few days ago, the entire Leverkusen has been conducting defensive training, not only technically but also mentally, that kind of suffocating feeling of not being able to control the ball for a long time.

Heynckes only freed up Kiessling, and even Deldiyok had to participate in the defense in the backcourt. It was not about asking him to retreat too deep, but Leverkusen had a high probability of not being able to attack. But they can't just park the bus, after all, Bayer Leverkusen also wants to move forward, and Heynckes is an old man with great ambitions. Defensive counterattack is their sharpest weapon.

But even though he was mentally prepared enough, Leandri was still exhausted by the game that started with such intensity from the very first second.

Barcelona kicked off first, and then Xhaka began to show his strength. Under the command of these three players, no one from Leverkusen, except Leandri and Vidal, touched the ball once for the entire five minutes. The reason why the two of them touched the ball was because Messi's shot was hugged sideways by Leandri, but when Leandri kicked the ball to Vidal, Barcelona randomly sent up a few people to force Vidal to take over. Before Vidal could take two steps with the ball, the ball was back in Barcelona's hands.

Heynckes on the sidelines has not sat down since the start of the game. There is no sign that the kettle in his hand has been opened. He dare not take his eyes off the field for even a second. The pressure on the defense line is unimaginable. He knows that Barcelona is an insurmountable mountain for their currently immature Bayer Leverkusen team, but someone has to walk the road.

Leandri was highly focused, and Barcelona's short pass penetration was too outrageous for today's football. They passed the ball back and forth repeatedly, but no one knew when they would suddenly launch an attack.

Aren’t Kadlec, Hyypia, Friedrich and Castro good enough? But they still can’t stop the tacit understanding of La Masia and the flashes of inspiration of top stars.

When Leandri saw Messi breaking through from the wing, he felt something was wrong. His terrifying frequency of touching the ball and simple and efficient technique directly defeated Kadlec. Ibrahimovic used his body to block Hyypia who was about to return to defense, and in front of Leandri there was only Friedrich who was running madly to fill the position.

Leandri never thought that Messi could be defended by Friedrich alone, so he simply left the goal and walked out. Facing a terrifying player like Messi, one of the future two superstars, the probability of scoring a goal is no different from a one-on-one opportunity or an empty goal.

Messi saw Friedrich running towards him and quickened his pace again, ready to eat his opponent alive. But the next second he felt something was wrong, and when he looked up, another figure rushed towards him.

Leandri?

In the moment Messi was stunned, the goalkeeper and defender of Bayer Leverkusen had already double-teamed him.

But Messi was not worried. He had a solid dribbling skill and he made fake moves again and again between the two players. Friedrich was dizzy twice and it was Leandri who kept blocking him that prevented the Argentine from advancing further.

But this is not a good thing either. Although Messi cannot break through, it also causes a lot of time delay. Bayer Leverkusen's goalkeeper is attacking, and at this time all the Barcelona players are pressing forward. Once Messi passes the ball, it will be an empty goal!

Barcelona also has the experienced Xavi and Iniesta. The two midfield masters will not let such an opportunity pass them by. Now it depends on whether Messi can pass the ball from the wing.

Leandri is much taller than Messi, and his center of gravity is relatively higher and more unstable. In order to ensure that the opponent is blocked at the edge of the penalty area, Leandri did not even look at his deceptive shoulder movements, and his eyes were fixed on Messi's feet.

The next second, Messi made a fake move to break through from Leandri's right side. Seeing that the ball under his feet had been pushed to the right, Leandri quickly shifted his body center of gravity to the right, waiting for his next move. Unexpectedly, after seeing that he had successfully deceived Leandri, Messi used his terrifying balance and speed to shift his center of gravity back, and seized this opportunity to break through from the left side of the Chinese goalkeeper.

Leandri felt a little disappointed, thinking he had been deceived, but he immediately wanted to hug Friedrich and give him a kiss!

It was true that Messi dribbled past Leandri, but Friedrich, who had just been knocked unconscious by him, had regained consciousness. He stretched out his left foot and poked the ball under Messi's feet out between his legs!

Because he started too fast and too quickly, Messi almost fell on the grass, but he was still very young at the time and he staggered twice trying to steady himself, but unfortunately he still couldn't resist the inertia.

When Leandri saw his good brother intercept the ball from Messi's feet, he quickly went around and controlled the ball before the Barcelona players. When he was about to kick it forward, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.

He gave a yellow card to the confused Friedrich, then framed the scene with his hands and pointed with his wrist.

Penalty?

It was a head-on steal, with no foul play, but the referee awarded a penalty?
