Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Ryandre warms up
"King Bear" was very powerful today. Although Leverkusen's overall strength is still not as good as Barcelona, the players were united today.
Your Taiwanese team likes to play passing and controlling the ball, right? Okay, compared to you, we Germans are pretty good at confrontation.
As soon as the game started, the strong men from Bayer Leverkusen were not polite and confused the technical team of Barcelona, which was pampered in La Liga. As soon as Xavi had the ball, he was double-teamed by two Germans, who stuck to Xavi like Oreo cookies have to hold the cream layer tightly.
Under such tight pressure, Xavi finally lost the ball, and then Rolfes made a cross, directly to Kroos.
Before the start of the match, Xiao Kuan said that he wanted to increase the intensity on the opponent, but in fact his body had not yet fully grown and hardened. However, he wanted to avenge his wife today, and the anger in his heart was like a substance that empowered the muscles all over his body. When Maxwell stepped forward to block, Cross accelerated and he almost couldn't stop him. In the end, he could only grab Cross's jersey, and both of them fell to the ground.
Maybe because the referee of the previous game was scolded badly after the game, today's referee Kupers was relatively restrained. He decisively warned Maxwell and then gave Leverkusen a free kick.
Banetta made a cross, and Deldiyok headed the ball but it went just wide of the goal.
In the 15th minute, Puyol tackled Kiesling who was dribbling the ball outside the penalty area. The referee believed that Puyol's action was directed at the ball, not the person, and did not issue a card.
In the 24th minute, Castro was not polite either. He cooperated with "Emperor Bei" in defense and made Messi stagger when he made a steal. The referee still just gave a warning.
Judging from the current situation, the Dutch referee Kupers's penalty standards are still relatively lenient. Leverkusen, who are relatively good at physical confrontation, were very happy for a while, but it did not last too long. It's like after you've used a pain pump you can't feel the pain in your body for a while, but once it's removed, that piercing feeling will slowly come back.
In the 29th minute, Baneta broke into the Barcelona penalty area and made a cross from the right to find Deldioc who had already run to the front of the goal. The latter shot directly, but the ball hit Pique's hand and bounced out of the baseline. The young players of Bayer Leverkusen immediately signaled to the referee that Pique had committed handball. The trajectory of the ball had obviously changed, but Kuppers pushed away the players from both teams who surrounded him and signaled for a corner kick with a firm look.
Barcelona was satisfied and quickly left to prepare for a defensive position, but Castro, who had just made a forward run, became angry and kept slapping his arm at the referee, saying something.
Under the incredulous gazes of the players and spectators, Kuppers took out a yellow sapphire Ares card from his shirt pocket and gave it to the young and energetic Castro, signaling to the pharmaceutical company, "Who dares to come up again?" I have no limit on the number of yellow cards I can give you today!
Banetta took a corner kick in anger. Although Pique was tall, he could not stand up to the tall guys in Leverkusen. When he was guarding Deldioc, Kiessling overpowered Puyol and headed the ball into the goal!
1-0!
The audience at the scene was immediately ignited. Today, the fans in the stands of Leverkusen's home stadium wore a variety of clothes, including the red of Bayer Leverkusen, the blue of Chelsea, and the white of Real Madrid, which mixed together in a very harmonious way. They all praised the players on the field in English with varying degrees of proficiency, and even agreed to go together to try German beer and pork knuckle after the game was over and Barcelona was eliminated.
They are already two goals ahead in both home and away games combined. Although Leverkusen has been suppressed by Barcelona, they have fully grasped the only offensive opportunities.
In the 40th minute, Castro finally made a forward pass from the right. The ball had just reached the head of Deldiyoc who jumped when he was hit by Marx's elbow and fell to the ground in pain. However, before Deldiyok fell, he managed to rub his opponent with the back of his head. Kiesling at the back point did not expect that his opponent would make such an obvious foul. He reacted a step slowly. As a result, when he was about to jump, he felt a sharp pain in his waist.
Valdes jumped first and stepped on Kiesling's waist when he made the save!
Banetta, Kroos and others who saw it clearly in the front court immediately signaled to the referee that the opponent had committed a foul. Kiesling fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face, holding up his back muscles with one hand!
But Kupers was blind again. The Dutchman ignored the fact that Deldiyok and Kiessling both fell to the ground in the penalty area and did not stop the game. The game continued!
Valdes immediately passed Kiessling and threw the ball to Busquets, and Barcelona actually got a chance to counterattack!
Fortunately, "Emperor Bei" succeeded in praying to the gods today. He blocked Messi's shot in front of the goal, which also made the frightened Giffel breathe a sigh of relief.
After saving the goal in front of the goal, Friedrich not only invited Beckenbauer's strength today, but also his hot temper.
Friedrich pointed at Kiessling who was still lying in the Barcelona penalty area and asked the referee Kupers why he didn't stop the game. The Dutchman seemed to have just noticed it at this time, and said in a very good attitude that he had not seen it before, then signaled Leverkusen's team doctor to come on the court quickly, and he ran there too.
While the team doctor was examining Kiessling, Rolfes again surrounded Kupers and asked for an explanation. Max's elbow on Deldiyok in the penalty area just now could have been a red card, but Kupers once again acted as if he didn't see it.
Rolfes was almost laughing, but as the captain he had to suppress his temper. However, Friedrich couldn't help it and questioned the referee in front of everyone, "Why does Blind Monk serve as the referee on the court?!"
Amid the boos from the stadium, Kuppers gave the second yellow card of the game to "Emperor Bei".
Kiessling had some problems with his back muscles. To be on the safe side, the team doctor signaled to Heynckes that a substitution was needed, even though the player himself wanted to continue the game.
The first half was about to end, they were leading by 2 goals in the aggregate score and had an away goal, Heynckes replaced Kiessling with defender Reinartz to strengthen the team's defense. For Leverkusen, what they need most now is to hold on to their victory. It now seems that eliminating Barcelona is not an unattainable dream.
When Kiesling came off the field, he finally questioned the fortune-telling career of the charlatan Leandri.
Didn’t you say that I had a good fortune today? Why did I get injured? Did you do too much divination today and your skills are not good enough? Are you tired?
Leandri smacked his lips in his heart and thought Kislin was really adorable. Even after all this, you still don't suspect that I'm a swindler and you're even worried that I'm too tired from drawing lots for you.
Mr. Goalkeeper decided to be nicer to Kiesling in the future. "To be fair, is Barcelona strong?"
Kisling nodded.
“Is there a big gap between us and Barcelona?”
Kisling nodded again.
"If we knock them out of the Champions League, wouldn't that be great today? It's just around the corner!"
Kisling laughed so happily that he even strained his injured back muscles.
"Ryan, don't make Kiesling laugh, he is injured!" Grandpa Hai turned around and pointed at the two little friends on the bench.
During the half-time break, Leandri transformed himself into a staff member and kept helping. Although they took the lead after more than 20 minutes of the game, they actually had the same hard time as before. Barcelona passed the ball most of the time. They could only use running and physical confrontation to fight for the few opportunities they had. Although they succeeded once, the cost was a huge loss of physical strength.
Heynckes looked at these players who were creating possibilities bit by bit. He didn't say anything about the suspension due to accumulated yellow cards, nor did he need to cheer them up with words. All he had to do was lead them to victory.
But at the beginning of the second half, Ibrahimovic suddenly shot a long shot outside the penalty area, giving Barcelona their first goal in two games. Guardiola on the sidelines was even happier than Ibrahimovic who scored the goal. If Barcelona, which won six titles last season, were eliminated today by a team that has been struggling for its first league title in more than a hundred years, they would really lose face.
With just one more goal, Barcelona would advance on away goals, and they did it very quickly.
In the 51st minute, Messi finally used his skills to create a big hole in the Bayer Leverkusen's defense, which had been torn open one after another. Giffel was powerless to save the situation and could only stare in a daze at the ball bouncing in the net.
The total score is 2-2, and Barcelona has two away goals. If this score is maintained until the end, Leverkusen will be eliminated.
The Bayer Leverkusen fans on the sidelines were in a state of confusion. How could their promising path to promotion be suddenly cut short?
The Chelsea fans who came to cheer were also very upset. Didn’t they agree to help us get revenge?
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. In the 75th minute, Deldiyoc, who was eager to score a goal, collided with Pique while competing for the header, and the field was stained with blood.
The pharmaceutical company's team doctor once again rushed into the stadium carrying a first aid kit and a stretcher.
Heynckes was extremely anxious. They were only one step away from entering the quarterfinals, but now it seemed that hope was getting smaller and smaller. The team doctor indicated that in addition to the nosebleed, Deldiyok might also have a mild concussion!
Today, both tall forwards left the field due to injuries, and what he needs most now is a center forward!
There was only one center forward on the bench, Yekas, but his height of 179 cm really made Heynckes a little worried, "Big center forward, big center forward..."
"Grandpa Hai, how do you think I am?"
Just when Heynckes was getting anxious, a big hand suddenly put his arm around his shoulder. When he turned around, it was Leandri's face that was so good-looking that it seemed a bit wasteful to play football.
Leandri gestured his height, and Heynckes felt that he was bewitched by him. He actually thought this was a good idea.
"What's going on? Is Leandri warming up? Although Giffel made a lot of mistakes today, why would Heynckes replace him with Leandri who just came back from injury at this point in time?"
"Wait a minute, Leandri isn't wearing a goalkeeper uniform? Is he going to replace Deldiyok?!"
"It seems like it's not impossible! Helmes was injured before this season, so Leverkusen didn't bring him with them when they registered for the Champions League. There was only one Yekas on the bench today, but his height does limit his performance at this time."
"There's a sign on the sidelines! It's really Derdiyok off, Leandri on! Dear viewers, the game is starting to get interesting now!"
