Chapter 145 What's the Use of Your Dad as Chairman?
"Ryan, what is your relationship with Tony?"
Maria's expression was still gentle. Although her illness in recent years had made her temperament softer, when she was young she was also a strong woman who could cooperate with Florentino in the business world. She didn't look too harsh. So even though the question is asked in a gentle tone, it has actually hit the target.
Leandri sat next to Maria and didn't dare to lie, "It's just what you thought, we are together. Mom, when did you know?"
Maria rubbed the docile head of her youngest son. Leandri had been the least of her worries since he was a child, and she loved to pamper him the most. However, she never expected that her youngest son would make such an extraordinary choice as a football player. "The first day we were here, he was wearing the same clothes you had worn the previous two days."
Leandri would video call his family regularly. The first thing Maria noticed when she walked in was that her son's clothes, which he never borrowed from others, were wrinkled on the German boy.
Leandri didn't expect that his mother noticed something was wrong the second she came in, and she kept it a secret all along, probably because she was observing the atmosphere between the two of them.
The tall boy felt guilty for doing something wrong. He lowered his head and fiddled with his nails. After a long while, he looked up and told Maria seriously, "Mom, I know I shouldn't do this, but I really like him and I don't want to break up with him."
"What shouldn't you do?"
"The European football community has no tolerance for homosexuality, and my father is the chairman of Real Madrid. I shouldn't have done this, but I really couldn't control myself." Leandri showed his true self in front of Maria. He was naturally harmonious when he got along with Kroos, but occasionally when he was alone, he was confused about how to confront his family.
Leandri couldn't help but put his head on Maria's neck. His mother's loose skin wrapped around the little boy's emotions that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"My son can fall in love if he wants to. Why should he care about other people's opinions?!" Maria patted the big head in her arms. "Your father has been the president of Real Madrid for two years. Let him work harder and gain more power. When you fall in love in the future, ask him to protect you. Isn't he praised as the leader of the Galactic Battleship? What's the point of him being the president if he can't even protect his own son in love?"
Leandri suddenly had a vision in which his parents heard that someone in their family worked in the hospital, and asked him to find time to get a certain part of the body back. In the end, they said in a very discouraging way, "You can't even do this?"
"Mom, the Real Madrid president didn't do this for me..."
It was as if we were back in 2008, when Leandri transferred from Real Madrid to Leverkusen, the old lady pointed at Florentino's nose and scolded him for being useless and unable to protect his own child.
"He is your father, Ryan, and he has every reason to protect you." Maria said to her youngest son very seriously, "But you should tell him this in person. I know you have a lot of concerns, and you don't have to rush now, but you must tell him in person, and not let your father hear this from other people's ears. Do you understand?"
Leandri nodded obediently.
"Who knows about you two now?" Maria said in a gentler tone.
"Kroos's family knows about it, as do our agents and, oh yeah, my brother."
Okay, big brother knows that too.
The older brother who was playing with his children in the living room in Madrid didn't know why he always felt like he was going to be beaten.
"Child, you have to take care of yourself." The young couple sent Leandri's parents to the airport. Before leaving, Maria hugged Cross on purpose, and her attitude was more affectionate than at the beginning.
After watching his boyfriend's parents walk into a very high-end corridor and not being able to hear them talking, Cross asked the question in his heart, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but your mother has been very friendly to me since this morning. Although she was also very nice a few days ago, but, emm... this is a different feeling, you know?"
Leandri nodded and dropped a bomb in a calm tone, "I understand, because mom knows that his son is in love with you."
? ? ?
! ! !
What are you talking about? !
Cross turned around and said, "What did you say? Did you tell your aunt? When did it happen? She will bless us, right?"
......Most people’s first reaction shouldn’t be to ask “She won’t break us up, right?”!
"She didn't object when she asked me to chat last night, but my mother discovered it herself."
ha?
"Did you wear my clothes in the morning when they came? My mother guessed it then."
"Mom is really good and observant." Kroos has already decided to go to Madrid with Leandri to celebrate the New Year next year. "Your dad must know about it too. I saw that he treated me very well today, so he should be very supportive."
"Papa doesn't know yet, but we all agree that he will break your leg."
"Your father is so old, it would hurt his body if I tackled him."
Leandri put his arm around his boyfriend's shoulders and said cheerfully, "Even if my dad can't do it, he can still ask Ramos and Pepe to knock on your door!"
"My mother also told me to confess this to my father myself when the time is right. This is respectful."
"I don't want to go back to Bayern this year. Ask your father to buy his son and his son's husband back to Real Madrid."
"You can't get into my dad's eyes right now, you still need to practice, young man!" The two young lovers who had not yet left the VIP room began to laugh and play again.
Not long after New Year's Day, Cross called the real estate agent to prepare to sign the contract.
The two of them liked a detached villa about 15 minutes' drive from the training ground. Overall, it was pretty good and the energy level of the house met the latest requirements. Only some of the interior decoration needed to be modified.
The yard is very big. The previous owner laid lawns and planted many flowers and plants.
Leandri liked it too, but when he thought of the little Pearl at home staring at him with her little eyes, he decided to shovel away half of it without hesitation.
One part was used to make a small pond, and the other part was left the land exposed for Pearl to dig holes in the soil. He wanted Pearl to be a happy little turtle!
Good things are expensive. When Leandri saw the price of the house, he was a little shocked, but Kroos paid without any hesitation.
It turns out that swiping a card is always the coolest moment for a man!
The two of them started hiring someone to do the renovation again. Leandri shared his ideas with Cross and then became a hands-off manager. During the day, he continued to work hard for graduation in his study, while the furry Xiao Kuan, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, was busy preparing for the decoration and checking the design.
Occasionally, when Leandri gets tired of reading, she will run to the sofa and attack the German guy without hesitation, saying that she has no ideas at the moment and wants to look for her husband for inspiration!
It's so stress-relieving to pet cats, but this golden shaded dog will resist and always pet its humans in the end.
Now that the two’s affairs have finally come to an end, Leverkusen’s pre-season preparations are about to begin.
After completing a series of inspections before returning to the team, they first played two friendly matches. The boys had been basking in the sun all over the world during the winter break and were now full of energy and interest. They defeated the opponents from the two regional leagues without any suspense.
Leverkusen’s first opponent in the second half of the league will be Dortmund, which is also experiencing a youth storm this season. Klopp is a young head coach with a lot of ideas. Hummels, Lewandowski and Gotze have also been constantly refreshing fans' expectations of them this season.
How far can they go?
Which team can go further?
As soon as the game whistle sounded, the young players on both sides started a battle of offense and defense.
Not long after Helmes' lob in front of the goal was saved by Weidenfeller, Lewandowski responded with a powerful shot.
Kiessling headed the ball to the goal with great force, and Götze unexpectedly made a forward run and shot.
Young people are still full of passion. We love to watch the two sides attacking each other, and we love to watch Leandri lying on the ground in a dirty state to catch the ball.
? ? ?
Many Bayer Leverkusen fans looked at the young man in the middle with murderous expressions.
Oh, this, isn’t this the handsome boy who asked the goalkeeper of the Russian Federation whether he could accept his courtship not long after Leandri transferred from Real Madrid.
It's been so long and you still can't forget it.
Your crush rejected you with a smile at first, but now she has a man who wants to go everywhere with her, and you are still obsessed with him.
Bayer Leverkusen fans collectively cried for the young people's lost love.
Young man, you can't succeed, our Cactus CP must be locked!
The forwards were pointing their guns at each other, and the brothers on the field had no respect for each other. The two Bendes were just thinking about how to send each other home, and then transform themselves into good brothers to comfort their compatriots.
In the last two minutes before the end of the first half, Lewandowski faced Friedrich's tight defense and directly used his toes to take off Gotze's pass. He changed direction and broke through Friedrich. The latter just wanted to reach out to pull him, but the distance between them had already widened.
Reinartz quickly came over to fill the position, and Lewandowski showed off his footwork, knocking the ball with his heel to pass him again, and then shot without hesitation!
Leandri was well prepared. Although Reinartz's backup defense failed to stop Lewandowski, it provided Leandri with more opportunities to observe and prepare, and blocked some of Lewandowski's shooting angles.
The moment Lewandowski shot, Leandri started moving, aiming at the shooting route, and hugged the ball in his arms at the last moment.
In the 46th minute, Bend assisted Ballack, who had just come on in the second half, to break through the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.
Big Bend dribbled the ball forward, and when facing his brother, he suddenly pulled the ball and casually passed it to Baxiong who suddenly appeared behind him, who made a lob shot.
The ball was fast and sharp, and Weidenfeller was powerless to stop it.
In the 67th minute, Heynckes replaced Helmes with Morientes and let him receive applause from the Bayer fans.
The former German international has found it difficult to find enough playing opportunities at Bayer Leverkusen after a serious injury sidelined him for a season. The threats posed by Kiessling and Deldiyok in front of the goal cannot be ignored. The newcomer Sam is also constantly challenging for the main position. Although Morensted is not competitive, this veteran substitute has an unexpected effect every time he comes on the court. Heynckes also has great faith in this big center forward from the Russian team. Therefore, Helmes made up his mind to bid farewell to Bayer Leverkusen and start again with a new team.
Neither side scored any more goals, and Leverkusen won the first game of the second half of the league 1-0 at home.
