Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Does it hurt when a turtle bites you? …
After playing against Liechtenstein, Spain had another friendly match with Argentina. In this match, Bosque sent out Reina, who was not selected for the World Cup. Then the Spanish team was pitifully beaten 3-1 by Argentina and disbanded on the spot in shame.
Leandri flew directly back to Germany. The third round of the Bundesliga is about to start, and they will play against Hannover 96.
Perhaps it was because of the national team competition that many national team players and the fatigue of traveling made Leverkusen still in a dozing state, Leverkusen drew with Hannover 96 away from home.
As soon as Heynckes returned, he hurriedly started preparing for the Champions League. In the first group match, they would fly to Lyon to play an away game.
Many of the players feel that they are very tired recently, especially those participating in national team competitions. They have been traveling non-stop since the beginning of the month, taking planes, trains, and buses. They have been doing everything recently.
The Champions League match between Leverkusen and Lyon was not popular, but during the warm-up, Leandri saw Zidane, who had nothing to do after retirement and was wandering around the streets all day, on the sidelines. The good brother sat directly in the Leverkusen fan area, next to Veronica and their two youngest children, Theo and Eliaz.
Veronica was much more enthusiastic than Zidane. She kept waving at Leandri in the stands, and then poked Zidane in the waist with her elbow, "Be more enthusiastic. Didn't you say you wanted to watch Leandri play?!"
Zidane's simple farmer's face was full of wrinkles when he saw Leandri coming to the edge of the stands and looking up to greet them. Looking at the old Beijing cloth shoes and old man's shirt on his feet, it can be seen that the Frenchman has been pursuing a minimalist and simple style after retiring.
Leandri saw a group of players he hadn't seen for a long time and Zidane was determined to respond to them with a victory.
The goalkeeper of the Chinese Brasil team guarded the goal diligently in the backcourt and tried hard to call back his defensive partners, but still failed to win the game.
The two forwards were tightly defended by the opponent. Lovren's performance today was very reliable. He made several saves in front of the goal and prevented the score from being widened.
The two sides shook hands and made peace with a 0-0 draw. After the game, Leandri ran to Zidane dejectedly and stuffed his gloves into the arms of his two younger brothers one by one.
The fourth round of the Bundesliga is just around the corner, and Heynckes and his players hurried back to Leverkusen. This time they finally don't have to travel to away games anymore.
But at the end of the game, Leverkusen got another draw.
Including the Champions League group stage, they have drawn three games in a row, and their offense has stalled, with no goals in the midfield or frontcourt. When playing against Nuremberg, Heynckes had already made changes in the front line. He replaced Kiessling with Helmes, but the effect was still not good. Although the overall number of shots was quite large, the goal efficiency was not high. There was no response every time, and Leverkusen was almost scored by a long shot from Gundogan. Fortunately, Leandri reacted quickly enough and made a flying save to block the ball out of the baseline.
In the fifth round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen continued to play at home. Heynckes let Morientes start in this game and put the big center forward of the team in the front position.
Their opponent is Frankfurt. Leandri was in high spirits today and drew the lots for each of the two forwards. "Both of you have great lots. If you two can't score a goal today, I will seal your chances of drawing lots for a season, and I will bring my pearl to bite you tomorrow!"
The first reaction of the genius Kisling was actually good. He wanted to try and see if it hurt when a turtle bites a person!
Frankfurt opened the game ready to cover Bayer Leverkusen's rear with firepower. Leandri was furious. What did he mean? Did they think I didn't exist?
Then he attacked while roaring, using his voice to intimidate the opponent's No. 9 to send the ball to his feet. The ball hit his toes and changed direction. Leandri quickly shifted his center of gravity, controlled the ball before the opponent's forward, and then kicked it forward to find his teammates.
Ballack was like a bear seeing honey, he rushed across the midfield to take the ball, then shot the ball into the penalty area, and Morientes scored in one fell swoop!
Veterans assist veterans!
Your dad is still your dad!
Leandri saw two older guys in the front court running back to celebrate with him, so he had no choice but to go up to them, hug them and kiss them and lift them up high.
Old kid, what can you do with them?
The goalkeeper who was inexplicably carried up on the field by a bear kept his filial piety in his heart.
Kiesling looked at the big center of the Russian team with envy.
Today was Morientes' first appearance in the last three games. As a result, he happily added a goal bonus to his bank account just a few minutes after the game started. Does Germany's feng shui only benefit the Koreans? Their native Germans are about to perish!
Kiesling decided that he could not sit still and wait for death. He found his young pastry chef Tony Cross and threatened Xiao Kuan with a cold face that if he did not pass the ball to him, he would follow the example of Big Bend and become Leandri's best friend.
Cross: ...
Then Xiao Kuan turned around and complained to Barak.
Kisling: ...Can you please show some martial ethics?
After beating Kiessling, Ballack decided to take more care of his former national team teammate. In the next ten minutes, he kept delivering ammunition to Kiessling together with the midfield, but the latter definitely did not have his shooting boots in the first half, and this guy either missed the shot or missed it.
During the half-time break, Leandri saw that Kiessling was a little depressed. The German international had been without a goal for 360 minutes. There were many criticisms directed at Kiessling.
The goalkeeper of the Chinese team secretly discussed with Kroos and other midfielders and asked them to give Kiessling more opportunities when they passed the ball forward. Anyway, they were already leading 1-0. Later, Leandri decided to be a well-behaved goalkeeper and never step out of the penalty area!
Heynckes watched the game for about ten minutes in the second half and then sat back in his seat to rest. The whole audience could see clearly that Leverkusen was trying to create a goal for Kiessling. The Frankfurt defenders knew with their eyes closed that Leverkusen's ball was aimed at Kiessling.
In the last ten minutes, the score remained at 1-0. Although the team still maintained the lead, Kiesling was more anxious than anyone else. The whole team supports him so much, so why is he still just talking nonsense without delivering any action?
In the 85th minute, Leandri dived sideways to block the opponent's shot, ran forward quickly and then threw the ball to Vidal with a powerful hand.
Vidal lowered his shoulders, made a few fake moves to get past the defender in front of him and continued forward.
Looking up, I saw that Kiesling was closely following the central defender, and most of the goalkeeper's energy was also on him.
Vidal chose to kick the ball directly!
The ball flew directly to the defensive gap on the other side of the penalty area.
Morientes!
Morientes raised his right leg high and made a powerful shooting gesture, as if he was going to nail the ball into the net in the next second.
The goalkeeper and the center back decisively gave up on Kiessling and rushed to Morientes, but they only saw the center forward of the Russian Federation lightly fake a shot and pass the ball, then gently put down his right foot and pushed it to the side.
Kisling stretched out his toes and poked with it without any difficulty.
2-0!
"The future is promising! The future is promising!"
"We have reason to have higher expectations for Leverkusen this season! All the main players from last season remain in the team, the young players promoted from the youth training are also gradually improving, and the two veteran players who were added in the summer are quickly integrating into the locker room!"
"The most important thing is that we have seen a team that has always had a harmonious relationship and worked together!"
"This season, Leverkusen has every reason and ability to go further!"
Seeing Kiessling excitedly hugging Morientes, who could only say jajaja, and equally happy teammates constantly running up to them, and even Leandri leaving the goal, the two commentators couldn't help but imagine the bright future of Leverkusen.
Although they won the competition, Leandri actually brought little Pearl the next day. It was the first time for many people to see it, and Big Bend squatted on the ground and stared at the little turtle.
"How can he grow this big?" Big Bend gestured with his hands. "He still looks very small now."
"If I raise it for a few more years, it will be about one meter long. By then, I probably won't be able to hold it in my arms." Leandri held the turtle and stroked its head.
Kisling was still very curious and suddenly put his finger to the turtle's mouth, but Cross opened it with a snap.
"Don't hurt it. It will hurt Pearl Mouth if it bites your finger."
Kissling looked at Kroos in disbelief. As expected of Germans, this coldness was very German!
Leaving his son to Heynckes without worry so that the head coach could absorb some longevity blessings, Leandri happily ran to the training ground to find his goalkeeper coach to complete today's task.
Maybe the hard days of playing away games before were almost over, and in the next game they will still face Benfica, their opponent in the Champions League group stage, at home.
Since breaking the team's goal drought, Leverkusen's offense has started to flow again.
In the 17th minute, Kiessling received a pass from Kroos on the left and shot the ball directly over the goalkeeper and into the net.
In the 49th minute, Leverkusen got a corner kick opportunity. Vidal served the ball from the right corner area, and Ballack headed the ball in front of the goal, expanding the score again.
After falling behind by two goals, Benfica began to fight back desperately. They were challenging away from home, and every goal they scored would be a valuable away goal, which could directly help other teams qualify at the critical moment.
In the 56th minute, Benfica's No. 10 player pulled the ball back outside the small penalty area despite Friedrich's defense.
Forward No. 7 shot the ball straight into the goal!
Hyypia tried to block the ball with his body when he retreated to make up for the position, but he was still a step too slow, and the ball passed by his side and went straight into the goal!
Leandri immediately lowered his body center of gravity, pushed the ground with his left foot and rushed to the side, holding the ball tightly in his arms.
"Benfica is getting anxious now, but it's useless. This ball looks like a very good opportunity, but neither the speed nor the angle is tricky enough. There is no way to pose any threat to the goal protected by Leandri." The home commentator regained his composure when he saw Leandri hugging the ball, as if it was not him who was so scared that his eyebrows flew away just now.
"Not only was Leandri's save beautiful, but Leverkusen's defense has also become more stable. Friedrich is blocking better and better now, and few players can break through him from the front."
With a two-goal lead, Leverkusen retreated across the board and Ballack retreated directly to the defensive midfielder position to participate in the defense.
2-0, Leverkusen easily won their Champions League group match.
