Chapter 148 Cat Guarding the Gate
Kroos received the pass from Reinartz and quickly launched a counterattack. At this time, Valencia only had two defenders in the half, and the other players were all madly following Kroos's footsteps.
Currently, Kiessling and Deldiyok are ahead of Kroos, while Vidal is on par with Kroos.
A four-on-two frontcourt situation with a very obvious advantage.
Valencia defender Mathieu quickly came up and tried to affect Kroos' dribbling, but Kroos made a sideways pass to Vidal in front of the penalty area. The latter saw the gap left by the opponent's goalkeeper in a panic and was not prepared to pass the ball to the striker. The opportunity was fleeting, and Vidal chose to shoot directly without stopping the ball!
The ball hit the crossbar with a loud bang, then flew high and returned to the penalty area.
Cross looked at the ball that seemed to fall in front of him with precision and sighed, "Who said that God won't send pie in the sky? Here it comes!"
He kicked the ball without holding back, and this time the goalkeeper and his friends were unable to stop him.
In such an intense moment, Leandri couldn't help but sigh in the backcourt that her husband was so charming. He ran with the ball alone and attracted the attention of the other 21 players in the stadium, and even made a dozen players run wildly at his pace.
He flees, he chases, he spreads his wings and flies away!
Then the Chinese goalkeeper himself rushed forward to celebrate, my Kroos!
Maria and her eldest brother were in the stands watching Leandri running dozens of meters from the backcourt with a look of desperation written all over his body, knocking Kroos to the ground and making him roll on the grass. It was simply unbearable to watch. How could their elite education since childhood have forgotten to teach Leandri to be reserved in love!
The young couple pushed away their teammates who were pressing on them, looked at each other, and then ran to the visiting team's fans' stands at the same time.
[Ahhh, although one is a product of Real Madrid and the other is a Bayern youth training student, they have me in their hearts! ]
[The cactus is real, otherwise which goalkeeper would rush from one goal to another when his teammates score a goal or assist! ]
[The two people are running towards each other, there is no brotherhood between them, just love! ]
[We scored a goal in the Champions League knockout round, it’s a valuable away goal! ]
[Hehe, goal! Hey, win! Hey, get married! ]
Maria and her eldest brother understood what she meant when they saw the young couple running up to them with their long legs and stretching out their hands to celebrate.
-Tony is a nice kid, Ryan should be very happy with him.
-Damn, is this Kraut really protesting against me? He wants to take my brother away! I'm not done with him!
Both sides restarted the game. Valencia was a little annoyed. They were playing at home, but they lost the ball so early and fell behind. Did they lose their new stadium, funds, and players, and now they have to give up the victory?
Everyone from the players to the fans of Valencia began to feel inexplicably sad and angry. I want to take back everything I lost!
Five minutes later, Mathieu made a straight pass from the wing, and Soldado's close-range shot in the penalty area was blocked by Leandri with both hands. Then Valencia's other striker Aduriz and Reinartz followed closely and grabbed the ball at the same time.
"ah--!"
Aduriz screamed and rolled over in Leverkusen's penalty area, holding his left leg. The simple Reinartz was a little confused. I went for the ball, how did I get hurt? Oh my god, are you Taiwanese so weak? Are you trying to get a penalty?
The young man instantly became furious. If Rolfes hadn't stopped him, he would have helped his opponent repair his fracture on the spot, demonstrating a medical miracle on the spot.
Leandri also ran to the referee to ask for leniency.
"Let's take a look at the video replay. Leandri saved Soldado's shot, and then Aduriz and Reinartz started running towards the spot at the same time."
"As you can see from the camera, both of them kicked the ball at almost the same time. When Reinartz kicked the ball, his foot hit Aduriz, and then Aduriz fell to the ground."
"It wasn't intentional. Now it depends on how the referee decides."
The referee gave Reinartz a yellow card on his home field and then waited for the result from the Valencia team doctor.
Reinartz was a little unconvinced at first, thinking that the opponent was faking a fall, but then he saw Valencia's team doctor carrying the person to the sidelines.
ah? Did I misunderstand him? It seemed like he was really hurt by my kick?
Reinartz scratched the hair on the back of his head and said, "Okay, I have to apologize to this Spanish striker later."
Leandri didn't care about Reinartz who was in self-blame. He was now carefully recalling the data of his former teammates. Valencia's first penalty taker was originally Joaquin, who was sitting on the bench at the moment. The one who walked towards the penalty spot with the ball was Soldado.
A great man once said that we should despise our opponents strategically and take them seriously tactically. Leandri decided to be an obedient baby.
Soldado exhaled nervously, and almost got a stitch in the side when he looked across.
Leandri lowered his center of gravity in front of the goal, made a horse stance with his legs, raised both hands to his temples at the same time, and clenched and released his fingers rhythmically.
Cat, cat guarding the door?
Soldado almost vomited blood and couldn't help laughing at his old teammates.
Leandri saw this and shouted nonchalantly, "That's it, Robert, let's relax a bit!"
"Isn't your animal sculpture a sweet puppy from Madrid? Why are you pretending to be a cat?!" A goalkeeper and a penalty taker started chatting as if they were alone.
"Aren't cats cute? I like golden shaded cats best!"
"Then you meow."
The referee also found it interesting, but he was a dedicated man, "Stop meowing, you two should hurry up, I need to get off work early today to spend my 100th day with my girlfriend!"
Soldado angrily gave the referee the middle finger in his heart, he didn't even hear the cat's meow!
Seeing Leandri still lying on the sidelines, Soldado was confident that he must be recalling my shooting preference, and then took two steps back to prepare for the free throw.
Run up and shoot!
The ball flew lightly towards the middle!
spoon?
Spoon penalty? !
Taking this kind of penalty kick is a great test of the penalty taker's mentality and technique, and even more so of the goalkeeper's prediction and reaction.
The whole audience saw Leandri standing there without moving, waiting for the ball to fall into his arms.
The confident smile on Soldado's face disappeared. Leandri, you are a real dog, this can't fool you!
Leverkusen's cheers were deafening. The fans on the sidelines were obviously short of words and just kept repeating "Oh my God, this is awesome!"
Although Maria and the eldest brother did not understand, they could roughly understand the deep meaning of these beautiful words that simply created an atmosphere.
My son/brother is awesome!
Amid the cheers of the audience, Leandri threw the ball, Vidal received the ball and turned to move forward, and Deldiyok raised his hand to request.
Vidal gently brushed past the opponent who was pressing him, flicked his ankle to pick up the ball, and then made a clever diagonal pass.
Deldiyok swung his leg to shoot, but it was slightly off the post.
Three minutes later, Soldado received a cross from his teammate in the penalty area and headed the ball from close range!
Leandri wished his arms could be seven or eight meters long, so he stretched out his arms as far as possible to expand his defensive range.
At the moment when Soldado headed the ball, Leandri alertly caught the path of the ball, pushed off the ground with his legs, raised his hands to his forehead and took the ball off.
Soldado widened his eyes slightly.
Here it is again, cat...cat saves the day!
Passing the ball to Friedrich, Leandri saw his old teammate staring at him, "Why are you looking at me?"
"You know what, Ryan, the way you jumped in just now looked like a cat, but also like a dog catching a Frisbee, very cute."
"If you want to compliment a boy, you should say he's handsome, don't call a boy cute!"
Leandri sneered on the surface, but he was actually secretly happy that as expected, he and Kroos would develop supernatural resemblances as a couple after spending enough time together.
Leandri, who is both a cat and a dog, slapped Soldado on his butt and told him to run away and stop rubbing his head, because his headband is about to get messed up!
In the 35th minute, Soldado, who met an old friend in a foreign land, also aroused his fighting spirit and showed his unparalleled qualities to the fans. With speed, strength and skills all combined together, Soldado dribbled the ball past Leverkusen's defense. In front of him was only Reinartz, a defender who didn't dare to rush forward.
Leandri was facing a formidable enemy. He lowered his center of gravity and kept moving his feet. His eyes were fixed on Soldado. At this moment, he had no intention of distracting himself to see if there were other players from Valencia coming up to support him. He could only trust his teammates.
Soldado suddenly accelerated to the right and created a space between himself and Reinartz. Seeing an opening, he shot directly into the far corner!
The ball drew an arc in the air. Leandri looked at the spinning ball and in the blink of an eye it had flown into his sight!
He subconsciously lunged to the left and was touched by Leandri's left hand!
His palms felt numb, but Leandri didn't dare to be distracted and immediately observed the landing point.
It's Soldado again, with a follow-up shot!
Leandri had no time to make the next move and could only watch Soldado raise his foot!
"Reinartz! Reinartz! That's the defender!"
"Tackle in front of the goal, at this moment Leverkusen has two great goalkeepers!"
"Our Leverkusen is young and energetic, and we have a brighter future!"
When Leandri was almost powerless and could only look back at the sky, Reinartz stood up. He had been paying attention to the situation in front of the goal although he was originally pulled away. When he saw Leandri lose the ball, he ran straight to the goal and kicked the ball out in front of the goal at the last moment, and he himself fell into the net.
Leandri pulled up Reinartz, who was still keeping his eyes on whether the ball was kicked out, and said, "Thank you, brother!"
The two sides attacked and defended each other several times, but neither resulted in a goal.
The two sides changed sides in the second half.
Valencia, eager to equalize the score, replaced a midfielder with Joaquin.
