Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Just like before
The two sides shook hands. There were many old acquaintances here, but Leandri didn't know why when he saw Huntelaar, words like stick, beating, revenge, etc. popped up in his mind.
Shaking his head, the Spanish goalkeeper threw these strange things out of his mind and walked back.
"Hello, viewers, welcome to watch the 10th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 vs. Leverkusen at home."
"Today's game can be said to have maxed out the Bundesliga's traffic. Two unique goalkeepers will meet again, and the two former princes of Real Madrid will face off in a different city. Let us wait and see."
"Who do you support, brother?"
"I don't care. I will support the team that can score goals or the team that can clear the opponent's goalkeeper's goal."
The two neutral commentators from other TV stations were laughing and joking. They sat at the commentary desk and chatted with everyone just for fun.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Both teams did not disappoint the fans in the stadium and performed at their best offensively from the very beginning.
In the first minute of the game, Kroos made a diagonal pass from the edge of the center line that directly broke through Schalke's defense. Before Metzelder and Atsuto Uchida could react, Deldiyok arrived on horseback!
Neuer acted decisively and flew up to tackle the Swiss player without hesitation when he was dribbling forward!
[Yes, yes, that’s it, why does the goalkeeper have to use his hands to tackle him! ]
[This is amazing! In the first minute of the game, Neuer has already turned into a goalkeeper. Ryan, hurry up and put on your center forward skin! ]
[Neuer is still very capable. I feel that even if Adler recovers from injury, he will have no role in the national team. ]
Magath was shocked by the connection between Kroos and Deldiyok. After seeing Neuer's bold attack, he finally put his heart at ease. Then he opened his mouth and spit out a lot of nice words to his own defense line that would be blocked by JJ.
As the ball passed, Schalke's players began to carefully control the tempo. Leverkusen's drastic approach at the start of the game scared them, and they became cautious in passing the ball.
In the 7th minute, Rakitic found a gap in Bayer Leverkusen's defense in the middle and passed the ball to Farfan, who immediately cooperated with Huntelaar.
Friedrich and Reinartz quickly went up to defend closely, but the Dutchman received the ball and passed it horizontally without even looking at it.
Raul!
"Schalke's attacking opportunity! Huntelaar pulls out and cooperates with his teammates to pass Vidal, and then reaches the penalty area and knocks the ball horizontally!"
"Raul took the ball off with his right foot, stopped it, and shot! Oops, it was still a little short!"
"Schalke's first shot of the game came from Raul, the Ring King who just joined the team this season. It was a very high-quality shot, but it still failed to break through the goal guarded by Leandri."
"Leonardi was bullied by Raul when he first met him as a child. Raul kicked high balls one after another because he was short. Hahahaha, now he is being defended by the little boy he used to be."
Raul shook his head and smiled at Leandri, but the cold goalkeeper was not going to talk to you about friendship, bond, brotherhood or other nonsense today. He wanted to fulfill the promise he made when he tricked Morientes to come here.
Ryan threw the ball to Schwab. Raul and Huntelaar had a strong desire to attack today. As soon as the ball fell at Schwab's feet, Raul rushed up to try to steal the ball.
Schwab quickly passed the ball back to Leandri, who then passed it to Reinartz on the wing. The latter kept the ball under his feet and moved forward little by little, and the ball came to Kroos' feet again.
Since it was he who initiated the fast break in the first minute of the game, everyone in Schalke was now on guard against him. Magath even cursed the Bayern management in his heart, saying, "Why don't you take such an awesome young midfielder back and use him yourself, but continue to rent him to Bundesliga opponents?"
What? Are you tired of sitting on the top spot in the Bundesliga and don't want it anymore?
Kroos and Vidal kept running and cooperating with each other, and occasionally Morientes in front would retreat to provide support.
Kroos looked up and looked around. He was surrounded by Schalke defenders. Even Banetta and Deldiyok on the opposite side were being watched closely. Xiao Kuan did not dare to kick rashly and continued to pass the ball horizontally to Vidal.
Vidal pulled the ball towards him, easily passed the defender who was pressing him, and then shot directly as he stepped into the penalty area!
Neuer flew to save the ball and pushed it out of the goal frame.
Leverkusen gets a corner kick.
"The two sides kicked the ball back and forth, and the two goalkeepers also had top-notch reactions, speed, and judgment."
"Now it depends on which side can score the first goal."
Vidal took a corner kick, and the ball flew into the penalty area quickly with a spin. Friedrich resisted the opponent's defense and jumped up, but he thought to himself that something was wrong, as a figure appeared faintly behind him!
Neuer snatched the ball off Friedrich's head!
The first reaction of the Leverkusen defenders who landed was to reverse. Friedrich didn't even look at him and ran directly to his own half. It was true that Schwab was still there, but the problem was that there was also Raul beside him!
Neuer quickly kicked the ball, and everyone in the stadium was itching to get ahold of the ball.
At the Valdebebas training base, Ramos laughed very loudly, with a funny expression on his face, mocking the Leverkusen defender who was now reversing with tears in his eyes.
Casillas looked at him leisurely, and Ramos suddenly remembered Casillas's broken voice in the game yesterday: "Ramos, get back here and defend."
Watching the game with the microphone turned off, these men are able to bend and stretch!
Schwab was also cursing in his heart, how could Neuer find the opportunity to kick the ball out so quickly! Then the poor lagging player bravely launched a fearless charge towards Raul.
But the fame of The Lord of the Rings over the years was not unfounded. He changed direction the moment Schwab approached, stopping and pulling, all so easily!
Who said Raul is old, who said he will no longer play any role in the national team? !
Raul is still the striker who can kill with one strike!
When Schwab saw that he was passed, he immediately stretched out his foot and took a penalty kick. There were times when the penalty kick could not be shot in. The threat of this one-on-one shot was too great!
But the veteran is very experienced. Raul even sensed Schwab's intention when he started again. He dodged it by slightly twisting his body, and then met Leandri with a very clear goal.
Leandri immediately left the goal when he saw Raul break away from Schwab. A striker like his big brother has too much experience in shooting. If he stood there waiting, Raul could kick the ball in a dozen ways!
Everyone's eyes were focused on this. In the camera's picture, the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and their figures were becoming more and more clear.
Seeing Leandri attacking in front of him, Raul had to adjust his pace. After all, even if Leandri was just a moving wooden stake, he had to slow down.
The distance between the two was only one or two meters, and Raul stopped suddenly at the moment when the two were about to get close!
He gently lifted his right foot and made a rare fried meatball fake move in an attempt to stun Leandri.
Leandri was indeed shaken and lost his balance, and Raul saw this opportunity and shot directly!
"He's got it! He's got it! Leandri!"
"Leandri blocked Raul's one-on-one attack with his toes!"
"At this moment, I think there are two people who are also in mixed emotions. I wonder if Casillas and Robben are watching this game again. This is a complete replica of this year's World Cup final where Casillas blocked the Netherlands' chance to win the championship with his toes! Raul would never have thought that in the summer he was still cheering enthusiastically for such a magical save, but today his compatriot blocked his goal with the same action! Robben would never have thought that he had just healed his wounds, but today watching his compatriots play, his wounds were torn open again."
"Although, I don't think Robben and Huntelaar's relationship is good enough for them to watch each other's games."
"It's not a big deal, but this save will definitely be one of the best saves of this round or even this season."
"It's a really horrible reaction. My God, Leandri is only 20 years old. He hasn't fully grown up yet!"
On the field, Raul was also dazed for a moment. He did not expect that his very confident shot would pass the goal post in such an unexpected way. At this time, the goalkeeper who had just been so amazing was still looking back.
It's called a replica, but today Leandri's movements were even faster. In just a short moment, his upper body had turned around and his feet pushed the ground hard. The next second he could stand up and chase the ball.
Raul shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and went up to pat Leandri on the head, rubbing the familiar curly hair.
Good job.
Leandri was led by Raul towards his own goal to prepare for a corner kick. As the two of them were arm in arm, Leandri heard a few words from the old captain mixed in with the noisy sounds of the stadium. The relationship between the two was the same as it was back then.
[Wow, the old captain who voluntarily abdicated and the little prince of our Real Madrid, this sight of his back is really tear-jerking, and Raul is still rubbing his hair. ]
[Why sell them both? Wouldn’t it be better to keep the time when Raul, Guti, Casillas and Andre played together in Real Madrid Sports City in Madrid! Woohoo! [Woohoo!]
[Damn Calderon, damn capitalism! ]
[Why don't you just say Florentino's name? ]
[Perez is definitely better than Calderon, and Raul wanted to leave, so what else can we do? Of course we can only wish him the best! ]
[Can you Real Madrid fans find a place to remember your prince, or find another prince? Leandri belongs to our pharmaceutical factory now! ]
Seeing that Raul and Leandri, who were now in two different teams, were still as affectionate as before, the first ones to break down were the Melingers who had watched the game for many years and Gutierrez who was watching the game in his mansion in Turkey with tears in his eyes and dyed his hair blonde.
The fans on the sidelines were still excited about the goal that had just happened, and the players here had already taken their positions and were ready for the corner kick.
