Chapter 86 Chapter 86 The defense almost formed a closed loop

When Leandri hugged the ball, Bochum striker Shestak just ran to the landing point. If the goalkeeper of the Russian Bundesliga had not reacted faster, Leverkusen would really fall behind at home.

Seeing that there were not many opportunities in the frontcourt, Kiesling roamed around the center circle. The defender standing next to him did not relax his vigilance against him, and the other teammates did not have a good running position either. Leandri stood up slowly and directed his defense line to stretch out. When everyone thought he was going to pass the ball to the defender, he suddenly kicked the ball forward with a big kick.

Barnetta!

Banetta on the right took the ball directly! Barnetta, who was originally just trying to pull and find an opening, never expected that Leandri actually saw his running position. The flying ball even gave him a very suitable lead time according to his speed, and he didn't even need to adjust his posture!

Banetta was secretly happy in his heart, as it was always them, the midfield parents, who took great pains to feed Kiessling, Helmes and other young wolf cubs with such comfortable balls. As for the balls coming from the back line, it was really better not to say anything! As a result, he actually received a pass from the goalkeeper today. Banetta sighed in his heart, it was indeed a retribution, a high-quality human midfielder like him finally reaped the blessing!

At this time, most of Bochum's defensive strength was on Kiessling. Without Deldiyok, he was the most threatening spearhead on the field. Seeing Kiessling surrounded by Bochum, Banetta decisively took the ball himself, rushed forward on the right, and with two shoulder drops and changes of direction, he shook off the midfielder who was sticking close to him in front of him.

At this time, Augusto, Kadlec and others all advanced. Leandri looked at the defense line that quickly disappeared in front of him and fell into deep thought. Damn it, if the opponent scores a counterattack goal later, I will kill you guys!

Kiessling was frustrated by the "multi-player dog-licking" love defense of Bochum players in the penalty area, but at the front of the penalty area, Kadlec, Augusto and Barnetta on the right all began to attack Bochum's defense. A little further away, Leverkusen's central defender Friedrich wanted to regain the face he had just lost by almost scoring an own goal, so he ran through the center circle.

Just a few steps into the penalty area, Banetta made a direct shot!

The Bochum goalkeeper's reaction was also good. He turned sideways to block the ball, which was then cleared by their defender.

Leandri was so panicked watching in the backcourt, oh no, he was blocked!

The defender cleared the ball!

It’s time to fight back!

? !

Thank God for Leandri, his defense started intercepting at the opponent's penalty area line!

The Bochum defender was about to kick the ball away, but he got into a physical confrontation with Augusto and the ball didn't fly high enough. Kadlec looked at the ball flying towards him and jumped up to head the ball. Friedrich, who was originally a body behind him in the middle, kicked the ball!

1-0! Leverkusen scored the first goal!

Leandri clapped with a wooden face. For this goal, his full-back assisted and his center-back shot. It was a perfect partnership.

Heynckes and his coaching staff were laughing uncontrollably, and the home commentator couldn't hold back either.

"This goal can be attributed entirely to the defense!"

"From the beginning of the counterattack to the goal, only one midfielder, Barnetta, touched the ball in motion."

"Leandri launched an attack, Barnetta shot, the Bochum goalkeeper saved the ball, the Bochum defender made a mistake in clearing the ball, Kadlec intercepted the pass, and Friedrich shot!"

“Hahaha, I can’t stop laughing. In fact, if Castro had run a little faster and advanced to the right in time, the defense might have formed a perfect closed loop for the goal!”

"Just act like a human being! Hahahaha"

The two commentators didn't hold back at all, the entire defense line was a hero, except for Bayer Leverkusen's core player Banetta who had just received the blessing.

Barnetta: Then I leave?

Bochum didn't struggle for long as Leandri's two unanswerable saves put an end to their thoughts of equalizing in time and both teams returned to the locker room to recuperate.

Kroos did not play today. He was holding a water bottle and helping to pass it to Leandri, when he saw his girlfriend texting again.

Leandri hooked his arm around Cross's shoulders and typed on the keyboard with one hand, not hiding from his boyfriend at all.

"Who is it?"

"Just watch it yourself. I'm busy laning with him. Don't bother me with my train of thought." Sparks were about to come out of Ryandelli's hands.

Kroos looked down. He originally thought that Casillas had sent Ryan some review of the movie, but now he saw that it was a group chat, "Go away, your goal!"

There are four people in the group, all of them are Leandri's good friends. In the defensive team, Vazquez mocked Leandri for not having anyone available in the previous team. Carvajal shouted that a good defender should go forward, and Nacho said to be careful of counterattacks.

Leandri debated with the group and kept instilling in the three defenders the idea of ​​protecting the goalkeeper.

Cross was "forced" to watch their quarrel in the group for a while longer, and couldn't help but sigh, "They care about you very much, and you have a lot of good friends."

Leandri snorted coldly, "They just want to let me go! They also said they would see me at the national team. I think when we meet, all three of them will be on the opposite side of the field!"

"Didn't Casillas text you today?" Kroos suddenly remembered the long conversations he had seen before.

"Oh, Igor, Real Madrid has a game today, he will tell me about my game later."

"He watches every game of yours? And then analyzes them with you?" Kroos never expected that, although they have lived together for more than half a year, they were not together last season. He had no idea what Leandri did in the study at night. This season has just begun, and they have not spent enough time together.

"Yes, after I transferred here, he and Gutilau would watch my games. The other two watched less frequently, but Igor would help me analyze every game." Leandri nodded in agreement. "Igor is really good to me. He knows my save habits better than I do. He even said he was waiting for me to take his place!"

Smilingly talking to Kroos about his good predecessors, Leandri felt really happy to meet them in La Fabrica.

"He really is my favorite player! I'll introduce you to him next time!"

Cross quickly agreed.

In the second half, both sides changed sides and Heynckes made the first substitution, sending Kroos, who had performed well in the previous few games, to the left.

In the 20th minute of the game, Castro made a mistake when passing the ball from the backcourt and accidentally gave it to the coming Fowler. The Bochum midfielder's brain froze at first, and then he immediately launched an attack.

As a result, Friedrich made another contribution today!

Seeing Castro make a mistake, Friedrich came over to fill in the position immediately and blocked the opponent's route forward. Castro also came to his senses and hurried to assist in defense.

Friedrich intercepted the ball and saw that the opponent was preparing to counterattack on the spot. Friedrich passed the ball backwards, and Leandri stopped the ball and stood in the penalty area.

Looking ahead, the frontcourt started running again, with Banetta, Kroos and Auglas all raising their hands to request.

Among them, Kiesling in front of Banetta had already started to jump repeatedly on the offside line with the defender.

The safest course of action was to pass the ball to Banetta, who then passed it to Kiessling, who then shot.

The Bochum players also held the same idea, and the entire defensive intensity was tilted towards Banetta.

Leandri saw it clearly in the backcourt, took a few steps back, and made a long pass before Shestak tried to come up and press!

Everyone's eyes followed the spinning ball.

Um?

Isn't this for Banetta?

Left wing? !

Kroos appeared at the end of Leandri's pass, and Yekas began to run towards the penalty area. Now Bochum's entire defense was turned upside down, and they quickly moved from the right.

Kroos used his signature push and pull to dodge the defense, and then made a scalpel-like precise pass to find Kiessling who was temporarily forgotten!

Shoot without stopping the ball!

Almost an empty goal!

Kiesling started punching, Kiesling started celebrating, and Kiesling hugged Banetta beside him.

Kiessling didn't even look for Kroos who assisted him, and looked back.

Well, as expected, Kroos and Leandri ran in both directions near the center circle!

2-0, Pharmaceuticals almost secured victory in this round of the league.

But German teams have always been tenacious, and Bochum was not willing to admit defeat. Instead, they played more aggressively as the game progressed.

In the 83rd minute, Folier passed the ball to Shestak in the penalty area, but the ball hit Friedrich's arm. The iron-faced referee directly gave him a yellow card.

Seeing that Shestak was already holding the ball and preparing to walk to the penalty spot, Leandri softened his heart and went to comfort his good central defender.

"Have you forgotten that I'm very lucky today? I think they will not be able to score this goal!" Holding Friedrich's shoulders, Leandri felt that this buddy was also unlucky. Although he was a little passive at this moment, he had to admit that Friedrich's performance on the defensive end today was absolutely excellent.

She hugged her boyfriend's waist and whispered in his ear, "Let me hug you for a while, just give me some energy!"

After making the move, Leandri stood in front of the goal with full momentum, lowered his center of gravity, and began to applaud himself with his two hands in big gloves, looking straight into the eyes of Shestak who was preparing to take a free throw.

"ha!"

The referee blew the whistle and Shestak looked away, not even looking at Leandri, and reached the ball in two running steps.

Bang!

spoon? !

After shooting the ball, Shestak looked towards the goal confidently and prepared to celebrate, only to find that Leandri didn't move at all, and the spoon fell straight into his arms, just like a pie falling from the sky!

If you can trick the goalkeeper into shooting a ball like a spoon, then you should be praised for having a big heart! But if the goalkeeper sees it, it would be like giving it away for free!

Shestak covered his face and quickly went back. He didn't want to look at Leandri again!

This handsome face is so ugly!

In the third minute of stoppage time, Bochum launched their final attack.

Friedrich and Castro were outnumbered by the opponent, three against two, and they broke into their own half from the wing. Klimovitz had not yet completely avoided the two men, and hurriedly passed the ball to his teammate Shestak who ran into the penalty area with him.

Catch the ball, adjust, and shoot!

But the ball was too angled and hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area, where Klimovic stretched his foot hard.

I'll reach for it, just for a moment!

Klimovitz succeeded, he actually reached the ball!

Then the ball hit the goal post and went out of the bottom line.

Kadlec, who saw everything clearly, was the first to walk up to Leandri after the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"Your test tube looks very accurate. You should learn more and make more progress. Try to test two people every day in the future."

Now even Rolfes nodded in approval.

Leandri: Oh, the superstitious world of football!
