Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Bernie's Heartbreak
Kiessling hugged Leandri with a flattered look on his face. This was the first time that the young goalkeeper took the initiative to hug him, the goal scorer, since the beginning of the season. Although within two seconds, the other party found Kroos and hugged him warmly, and praised him for his handsome cooperation with Vidal, which played a crucial role in the previous mobile battle.
Cursing Leandri for not understanding football, Kiessling celebrated with Vidal on the sidelines, feeling sorry for himself for not having such a good friend, and wondering why so many people's attention was attracted by the two brothers of the opposite sex.
Looking back, I saw that Kroos had lifted up Leandri and even shook him twice.
Muller looked at the goalkeeper passing by him again and felt that he had worried too much. Leandri was doing well in Leverkusen.
In the 26th minute, Leandri snatched the ball from the air before Klose's head could reach it.
In the 39th minute, Lahm's long shot was blocked out of the baseline.
Then he started to scold his good defensive partner, especially Friedrich who shouted that he wanted to beat Bayern before the game.
"Don't lose your position! Don't make mistakes! Stay focused! Didn't you say you wanted Bayern to lose at home, Manu?!"
Damn it, can't you keep your voice down a bit?
As many Bayern players in the penalty area focused their attention on him, Friedrich panicked and wanted to cover Leandri's mouth, but he felt that the Chinese man would only think that he was going to beat him, and he was sure that he was no match for the Chinese man.
The head coach likes him, the good captain pampers him, his teammates stick to him, Big Bend protects him, and even the whole team has to beg him to show them the magic from the East.
Apart from his shrug, Friedrich was indeed too reckless just now, leaving space in the middle for Lahm to take the ball here and take a long shot. If Leandri had not reacted quickly enough and dived to the side, he would have barely blocked the ball. Otherwise, Bayern could have really regained the advantage before the end of the first half.
The corner kick was confiscated by Leandri, and the two counterattacks by Bayer Leverkusen did not have much effect. With Deldiyok's shot sending the ball into the stands, the first half of the game officially ended.
Heynckes is making arrangements in a hurry. Although Bayern is ranked badly now, in fact, the competition for the top few places is very close. Moreover, Bayern's bench depth is enough to fight tough battles at the end of the league, and they can drag down the teams in front of them one by one and overtake them.
The competition for the Bundesliga rankings this season is very fierce. Each team at the top has players who have made contributions to the club, including Schalke 04's Neuer and Kuranyi, Bremen's Pizarro and Mertesacker, Dortmund's Hummels, Sahin, Barrios and others, not to mention Leverkusen, which has been unbeaten this season and rushed to the top of the league, including Kiessling, Deldiyok, Kroos, Friedrich and others.
Even though Friedrich still makes some small mistakes at present, his general style in defense is already evident.
Bayern's strength cannot be measured by rankings. If anyone really thinks that the Southern Kings is a team that can't even play in the Europa League, Bayern will definitely teach him a lesson.
Heynckes has always treated him as an unbeatable opponent and did not dare to relax at all.
"Uncle Hai, we will try our best to beat the opponent. I will not let the opponent score another goal in the second half." Although Rolfes confronted Friedrich at the beginning of the game, many players actually thought so. This is Bayern, why do so many people want to defeat it? Because it’s really hard to beat.
Heynckes thought about it and decided to go along with his young goalkeeper, "Okay, if you really keep the opponent scoreless in the next 45 minutes, I'll let you advance earlier in the next game."
Although Heynckes thought so, he also knew that it was extremely difficult. Look at the opponent's attacking line, Klose, Gomez, Muller, and Olic sitting on the bench. But if Leverkusen could really avoid conceding a goal to Bayern in the second half, they could at least get one point.
The bigger the challenge, the more excited Leandri is.
There was no need for Heynckes to say anything before the game, as Leandri himself had already given a speech to the defense on behalf of the head coach. From the veteran Hyypia to the oppressed Friedrich, everyone implemented the coach's command ideas and realized that they must use systematic thinking to ensure the hardness of the defense, while finding the right opportunities to move forward and attack. When their comrades moved forward, the entire defense must be ready to fill in the positions in time, in order to accelerate the great process of the integration of offense and defense in the pharmaceutical factory.
Looking at the two teams going back and forth on the field, Heynckes suddenly questioned his coaching career for many years. Why is it that Leverkusen's defensive flexibility can be so outrageous as long as Leandri presses?
Is it because Leandri has a loud enough voice on the court? Heynckes clearly heard his goalkeeper calling Kadlec's name, and the latter quickly came to his senses and disrupted Bayern's attack from the wing.
The entire Leverkusen team breathed a sigh of relief. It was too dangerous. Bayern's attack in the second half came like a storm. Bayer Leverkusen was busy defending itself, which also exposed many problems of the team.
Holding Klose's shot tightly in his arms, Leandri was almost kicked in the head by Muller's follow-up shot.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Muller was furious. It was just a league game, but Leandri fought as hard as in the World Cup final.
"I want to win." Leandri climbed up with the help of Muller and waved his hand nonchalantly, as if it was not him who closed his eyes subconsciously just now.
In the 69th minute, Van Gaal replaced Thomas Muller with Olic. The Dutch coach was not satisfied with the score of 1:1, so he replaced him with a strong forward to try to get two more points from Leverkusen.
What Van Gaal wants to save is not Bayern's league points, but his coaching time at Bayern.
As soon as Olic came on, he was full of energy and frequently attacked the goal held by Leandri, but the Chinese goalkeeper never let down in such crucial games. You rush so hard to score a goal and at the same time hit the morale of our pharmaceutical factory, right? Then I will turn into a stumbling block and will not let you get your wish!
Van Gaal was so angry watching on the sidelines that he was ready to cheer for several shots, but the young goalkeeper on the opposite side cleared the ball on the goal line several times, and his diving attempts got him dirty. At the same time, the momentum of Bayer's entire defense line was getting stronger and stronger. Friedrich even dared to use a sliding tackle in the penalty area to cleanly disrupt Gomez's dribbling.
The jersey was no longer neat because it was thrown on the ground frequently, but in the eyes of Bayer Leverkusen fans, it was Leandri's bright eyes that attracted them the most.
After Adler left, they had been worried about whether the young goalkeeper bought by Völler from Spain could hold up Leverkusen's goal. His title of Prince of Real Madrid resounded throughout the football world last summer, but it was not because of his outstanding strength, but because of the farce of Real Madrid's top management and his father who cannot be ignored.
How many people trust this young goalkeeper who has only played once in the top five leagues? When the transfer came to an end, fans even hoped that the Spaniard would not perform like a war criminal. His initial performance was good, and fans began to hope that the little guy would grow up slowly. Even if he made some mistakes, it would not be a big deal. They could pamper him and give him some tolerant space to let him slowly become a big dad.
As a result, after only a few games, Leandri became the little daddy of Leverkusen's defense like a rocket. The reason why he is not called the big daddy is that he is not even 20 years old yet!
Many middle-aged men with beards and fans who looked like they could twist their husbands' ears and scold them cheered when they saw Leandri fly into the blind corner and forcefully block Klose's excellent header. When they saw the little goalkeeper holding the ball in one hand and pointing forward with the other hand to direct the running and assisting in defense, the parents' hearts instantly burst!
See, is this little goalkeeper on the field strong? We watched them grow up little by little!
The Meilingges in the distance would definitely sneer if they heard this. I’m just lending it to you for a few days. Isn’t Ryan cute? He would have been even cuter when he was eight, nine, or ten years old! They grew up with our love day by day!
I just wonder if they would collapse and shout that their children have entered their rebellious period if they knew that Leandri had said that the opponent he most wanted to face in the Champions League was Real Madrid and that he wanted to give them a defeat.
Seeing that Leandri was really fighting hard on the field, Heynckes decided to give him an assistant, so he replaced Banetta with Big Bend in the 82nd minute. He was determined to secure a draw.
Van Gaal was so angry that he couldn't help turning his head several times to look at his predecessor, but when he saw the snow-white hair opposite him, he swallowed the curses he was about to curse.
In the stoppage time, Van Bommel, who had a strong desire to attack, also reached the penalty area. When Leandri caught the ball, he bumped into him and was given a yellow sapphire war god card by the referee.
Leandri, who was getting more and more powerful today, stopped the indignant good captain and Big Bend who helped him get justice.
"Captain, he didn't mean it."
Lao Fan was a little touched when he heard Leandri help him to exonerate himself.
"He just got anxious because he couldn't win the game."
Van Bommel/Rolfes/Oberbend: ...what nonsense are you talking about all day long!
In the last few minutes, Olic seemed to have bought a house in the penalty area, and was ready to contract this development zone with Gomez and Klose. However, Leandri insisted on being an eyesore here, and cunningly persuaded others not to follow them easily, calling on the entire defense line to defend to the end with the spirit of nailing.
At the end of the game, Heynckes couldn't help but hug the dirty and sweaty goalkeeper and pat his shoulders a few times. His excitement was beyond words. Although it was just a draw, it was really difficult.
"It's okay for you to go up and kick a few times occasionally in the next league game." Grandpa Hai decided to be a trustworthy head coach and reward today's hero well.
"I'll play again if I have a chance." Leandri kissed Heynckes's face, which was already full of wrinkles.
This is the famous pressed duck specialty, served with passion!
"Ryan, shall we change jerseys?" Muller staggered to Ryan, handed him his jersey, and then stealthily climbed onto his shoulder to negotiate.
“Can you send me a copy of your PDF?”
"No, this is the instruction manual I prepared for Tony to return to Bayern one day. You can't see it before him."
When Muller was still feeling lost, Bernie the Bear appeared again. He thought that the little sweet boy in the team was depressed because he didn't win the game and wanted to come over to comfort him, but Leandri rushed over and threw himself, who was covered in dirt, into the big bear's arms.
"Bernie, bye!"
Bernie Bear stared blankly at his opponent who was walking back to the player tunnel with the head coach, and the goalkeeper gloves that were stuffed into his arms, then he pulled Muller and asked, "Can you persuade him to transfer to Bayern?"
Muller looked at Bernie Bear, who was in despair after being seduced by Leandri. "He won't come. He said he won't go anywhere else in the Bundesliga except Bayer Leverkusen!"
Under the thick doll mask is a young man's torn heart.
