Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Accumulate Power

In the 26th round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen challenged Cologne away. Leandri continued his previous heroic performance in the U21 team and still did not allow the opponent to break his goal.

Both sides drew in the first half. In the 64th minute, Labbadia substituted Kroos, who had performed amazingly in the youth team, in an attempt to break the deadlock.

Two minutes later, Kroos told the head coach, "My feet are hot, you should have substituted me on earlier!"

Kroos received the pass from Castro and despite being double-teamed, he was still able to advance through short passes with his teammates. The last sharp through pass directly caused cheers from away fans at the RheinEnergy Stadium. Kiessling in front of the penalty area didn't even need to adjust and sent the ball directly into the net.

In the 74th minute, the German wide receiver again retreated to get the ball. Kiessling had already run to the ribs. As long as Kroos passed the ball, he would have a one-on-one chance.

But Petit kicked directly, knocking down both the player and the ball. Today's referee was strict in his penalties and stopped the game immediately.

The two of them were standing not far from Leandri. The young goalkeeper always felt that his roommate was too introverted and would definitely not quarrel. In order to prevent him from getting hurt, Leandri rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.

Leandri, who was ready for a fight, just ran over on his Hot Wheels and saw that the opponent had already apologized and pulled the man up. Kroos waved to the referee to indicate that he did not need a team doctor.

"Are you okay?" Leandri asked worriedly.

"It hurts a little."

"Why don't we ask the team doctor to take a look?"

"It's okay, I can hold on. Let's win the game first."

Leandri returned to the backcourt with a worried look on his face and a rage. The opponent's shot was directly caught by Leandri who jumped in the small penalty area. After landing, he angrily yelled at the opponent's forward.

Why is this young goalkeeper from the pharmaceutical factory so energetic today? ! The forward touched his nose and went back to look for an opportunity.

In the 79th minute, it was Kroos again. He kept dispatching the ball in the midfield and sent it to the front court. This time it was Kiessling who scored the goal. Kiessling raised his leg and shot, but it was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper with one hand. Just as the fans began to take a breath and prepared to regret this good goal-scoring opportunity, Helmes had already gotten rid of the defender and came to the path of the ball, and then raised his foot again!

The fans immediately let out the breath they had just taken in, 2-0!

This is their team's mortal enemy, the match between Cologne and Leverkusen is also a Rhine derby!

But the fun was not over yet today. In the 92nd minute, Bayer scored another goal.

The opponent cooperated in the pharmaceutical factory's half area, and the midfielder kicked a high ball to the Cologne striker who was roaming in the penalty area. Leandri attacked directly, snatched the ball in the air before it hit the opponent's forehead, and then immediately launched an attack to the frontcourt.

Castro received the ball and immediately passed it to Rolfes.

At this time, most of Cologne's players were rushing to their own doorsteps. Oh my God, it was 92 minutes and the extra time was almost over. Didn't you see that the referee had the whistle in his mouth! We were thinking of making one last effort to see if we could land a hit, but you guys started to fight back? Or is it a very high-quality counterattack?

There were still three defensive players in Cologne's backcourt. At this time, Kiessling, Rolfes and Kroos moved forward at the same time, and in a few seconds they all reached the front of the penalty area!

Cologne defender Robzinski received a yellow card in the first half for his excessive defensive action. He didn't care whether it was a violation or not and just made a tackle.

Rolfes jumped lightly, passed over the opponent's stretched instep, and the moment he saw another defender coming to make up for the defense, he passed the ball to Kroos.

Kroos aimed directly at the blind corner of the goal and the ball created a lot of splashes.

3-0!

The referee signaled that the goal was valid and then blew the whistle to end the game.

Leandri quickly ran from the backcourt to the front and first found the big brother who scored the goal. He looked at Kroos's feet carefully and asked, "You fought so hard despite your leg pain. How are you now?"

"I'm not in pain anymore, don't worry." Kroos hugged him calmly, "I scored a goal, this is for you!"

The young goalkeeper didn't know if it was because he rushed over too hard just now, but he always felt that his heart was beating too fast. However, he immediately hugged his friend and started to praise him, "You are the best player in my heart!"

He played for 28 minutes, scored a goal, made an assist and set up another goal. All three goals were related to him. Kroos' performance was certainly great.

But Leandri always felt that Kroos's calmness was fake. When he hugged and celebrated the goal, he felt the opponent's heartbeat was even more intense than his.

A goal was scored. If you are happy just show it, you introverted German guy!

As the players walked back to the locker room in groups, Kroos was stopped by reporters.

"Hello Tony, congratulations on your goal and assist today."

"Thanks."

"What do you think of what Hoeness said about you after Bayern lost yesterday?"

This reporter was so arrogant! Leverkusen had just won the game and the players had no time to go back to the locker room to wash up, but he immediately grabbed people and asked about their old club.

Just the day before, the battle for first and second place in the Bundesliga took place at the Volkswagen Arena, with Wolfsburg defeating Bayern Munich 5-1 at home. Gentner scored the first goal of the game, followed by Dzeko and Grafite each scoring twice. Only the Italian Toni on Bayern's side managed to save a little face for the team.

This is a battle for the top spot. Originally, Bayern was two points behind Wolfsburg. If they win this game, they will be able to reach the top.

It was not known whether they came to cheer the team or to threaten Klinsmann that he would be fired if he didn't win the game. In any case, Hoeness and other Bayern executives were all present, and in the end they watched Bayern being scored 5 goals by the opponent.

At the post-match press conference, the Bayern coach was subjected to a barrage of criticism. When the team was getting on the bus in disgrace, several reporters caught up with Hoeness and asked him several questions that were like stabbing him in the heart.

When Hoeness was about to leave, a reporter suddenly thought of Kroos who had shined in the youth competition a few days ago.

"Mr. Hoeness, did you pay attention to the German U19 match on the 27th? Toni Kroos, the young player loaned to Leverkusen by Bayern, scored a hat trick. Shouldn't the team agree to Kroos's departure? They should give more opportunities to such talented young players."

Hoeness was really impatient. He was already upset enough because the team lost the game in such a terrible way. Now you reporters are still chattering here and trying to stop me from going back to curse people and engage in palace fighting?

"U19? I never pay attention to U19 games. Maybe Kroos's hat trick was impressive, but Iceland is not a strong opponent. Three goals don't mean anything."

"I've said before that Kroos is not a player who changes the situation on the pitch. Even if he was at Bayern today, it wouldn't change anything."

"Kroos still needs more practice."

The reporter who stopped Kroos was asking him what he thought of what Hoeness said.

The broad-faced young man's original high spirits disappeared in an instant, and his face became cold.

"Hey, you are too disrespectful to the winner of this game!" Before Kroos was about to open his mouth, Leandri put his arm around the man's shoulder and pushed himself in front of the reporter's microphone.

"We won the Rhine derby today, but you're asking us about Bayern? Tony is playing for Bayern now, what does it have to do with him whether Bayern wins or loses?"

Leandri gathered his strength and said, "Instead of asking us what we think, you might as well ask Bayern whether they are really ready to fire Klinsmann and whether they have found a replacement to help them. Are they ready for the Champions League match against Barcelona in two days? They don't want to lose to them by four goals again."

"We have to go back and take a shower, otherwise we will catch a cold from sweating." After saying that, he pulled his good brother away.

Only when he entered the player tunnel did Leandri let down his erect hair. Fearing that his good brother would be unhappy, he continued to use his sunny and handsome skills.

-How could Hoeness not pay attention to the U19 game? How could he know that your opponent is Iceland?

Cross was in a much better mood.

-You play so well, so don't worry about what others say. Some reporters just want to make news and make trouble all day long. Anyway, you are the best attacking midfielder in my heart.

-Kross is back in good spirits.

-Hennes has criticized you before and now he has no way out but to continue talking nonsense. When your loan period expires, he will definitely take you back as soon as possible!

Cross was a little unhappy again.

"You want me to go back to Bayern?"

"I think you're better."

The next round of matches was in seven days. After returning to the club the next day for post-match review, Labbadia gave the players three days off.

Leandri, holding the milk poured by his roommate, watched the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Bayern Munich and Kroos at home at Camp Nou. During the 90 minutes, the young man hissed and gasped. I wonder if I was infected by Guti's bad luck in giving gifts!

Barcelona 4-0 Bayern Munich!

Leandri even predicted the goal difference with eerie accuracy!

Rolfes and other teammates sent messages to praise him for being awesome, and their assistant coach even came over to ask if he knew any fortune teller and asked for recommendations.

Haha, football is really superstitious!

Leandri chose to read the message but not reply, then turned his head horizontally, "Bayern is calling you a bad Bayern!"

Cross nodded, and the two stood up and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest. Before entering the room, Leandri habitually pressed a goodnight kiss on Cross's cheek and waited for the two to kiss back, "Goodnight Tony."

In the morning, Leandri no longer needs an alarm clock to wake him up. His biological clock has already formed, so he gets up at a fixed time to go for a morning run.

When he had finished getting ready, Cross was already waiting for him in the living room. Ever since the German moved in with him, the two of them had basically the same schedule, and Cross also developed the habit of jogging every morning.

"What are your plans for today?" Seeing that Leandri had finished taking a shower and was about to go out, Cross handed him a sandwich.

"I have classes in the morning."

"Can I sit in on the class?"

?

"I have never been to university, and I want to feel the atmosphere there, and also experience the beauty of mathematics that you mentioned."

Leandri thought that through his unremitting efforts he had successfully made a German fall in love with mathematics. How could he refuse that?

And he is so pitiful. Now he finally wants to swim in the ocean of knowledge, but he missed it for a short time.

Leandri rode his motorcycle to take his best friend to school. When parking the car, he comforted his friend, "Don't worry, I remember that you have a good foundation. There is still some time before the admission application this summer. I will give you some tutoring. You will definitely be able to get into university. Maybe we can even be in the same major!"

Cross: ...

Who wants to go to college?
