Chapter 154: Doing Great Things Quietly
Neuer's birthday happened to be in the middle of a national team match day, so Leandri brought a box of gifts to Neuer on the day when Schalke 04 challenged Leverkusen away in the 27th round of the Bundesliga.
"Just like I want to score a stunning goal, I think you must understand my intention!"
Of course Neuer understood, and Shin-chan was touched and happy and gave him a bear hug.
"Happy birthday in advance, I hope you can score a goal soon! Of course, forget about today, I don't want to be your background!"
"You can't win while I'm here."
It only took a second to go from being friendly to being hostile. The two goalkeepers, who had a good relationship, turned their heads and secretly made up their minds to inflict a crushing defeat on the other side.
Raul put his arm over him and asked, "When are you going to bring your turtle over so I can see it?"
"First, he is not a turtle, his name is Pearl, and second, he is my son!"
"Yeah, yeah, you and Kroos' son." Morientes beside him nodded perfunctorily.
"If you want to keep a pet, just keep it. Why do you have to share it with others?"
Leandri looked around to see that there was no one around, "Tony isn't someone else, he's my boyfriend."
Seeing Raul's face as if he was about to have a heart attack, Leandri was even more surprised than him, "Fernando, didn't you tell Raul?"
Morientes rolled his eyes and said, "Damn it, I tried every way to keep it a secret for you two, and you ended up blowing yourself up?"
"Who else knows?" Raul felt like his blood vessels were about to explode. What was even more outrageous was that Morientes knew and didn't tell him. Did this man have a little secret with him? !
"It's just you two, as well as Kroos' family and my mom and brother. Raul, remember to keep it a secret for me!"
After saying this, Leandri ran to find Kroos with his gloves in his pocket, not worried at all.
"I just told Raul about our relationship."
"Is it all right?"
"It doesn't matter. If Morientes knows, it's only a matter of time before Raul knows. Besides, I really can't help it!"
Other people who are in love take photos and travel to show their love all day long, but they have to be careful not to be discovered by anyone. Who wouldn’t want to announce their sweet love to the world!
"Let them help cover for us next time! Once we retire, we'll let the whole world know that we're together."
The young couple has already arranged the work of their two seniors clearly, so one should always be cautious when offering me some gossip!
As the two sides lined up to shake hands, Raul couldn't help but stare a little longer at his younger brother's rumored boyfriend. Cross also knew that this was a good captain who had watched Leandri grow up. In other words, he was a family member. The cold cat took the initiative to reach out and hug the Lord of the Rings.
The referee blew the whistle and the 27th round of the Bundesliga officially began.
In the 7th minute, Annan passed the ball from the midfield, and Edu received the ball and kicked a high ball.
Raul leaned on Friedrich who had returned from injury and shot!
Leandri stood calmly in front of the goal, with his hands slightly apart, and hugged the ball the moment it flew towards him.
"The pass was passed to the front of the goal, and Friedrich failed to defend against Raul!" The commentator couldn't help but raise his voice, "Leandri, a crucial save!"
"The high ball from Edu was actually very clever, and Raul's shot was also very crisp, but the angle of the shot was too straight, and Leandri stood in front of the goal and caught the ball easily without adjusting his movements."
Leandri passed the ball to Schwab, and the two sides switched offense and defense.
In the 15th minute, Neuer kicked the ball directly to the center circle, Jurado stopped the ball with his chest and made a lob pass to the left.
Brazilian striker Edu made a cross from the bottom.
Raul, who was standing in the front, attracted most of Leandri's attention, but he cleverly missed the incoming ball!
This leak not only fooled Leandri, but also fooled the Bayer Leverkusen defense in the penalty area. Annan shot at the back post!
Leandri tried to adjust his position immediately but still failed to touch the ball.
Fortunately, Annan was too focused on power in this ball and did not choose a good angle. The ball hit the post with a bang and bounced back into the penalty area!
Ryandley and Annan, who was preparing to make a follow-up shot, were trying to score at the same time, but the Chinese goalkeeper was one step faster and reached out first to grab the ball in his arms.
[I was so scared, I thought we were going to concede the first goal. ]
[It’s not a big problem. We have hardly conceded the first goal this season and we have always been leading. ]
[Games in which we concede the first goal are basically lost. Thanks to Ryan Dele for his stable performance! Brother loves you! ]
[I don’t know if the two goalkeepers can score some goals or assist for me in today’s goalkeeper derby. I’m tired of watching the forwards shoot every day. ]
[Are you speaking human language? But I also beg the two goalkeepers to snipe at each other in the middle! ]
In the first fifteen minutes, Schalke's attack was like a tide, and Leandri almost did not stop for a moment. He was either making saves or directing the defensive position. Leandri held the ball and saw Neuer on the opposite side who seemed to be sweating. He felt that this was not good, and he had to do something big!
Run up, throw the ball, accumulate strength, and swing your legs!
Ryan Deli kicked the ball high into the air with a big kick.
Everyone on and off the court looked up at the sky, trying to see where the ball would land.
Wuhu, the ball is taking off!
Um? It flies high, but why does it seem to fly quite far?
Oh my god!
"run!"
“Chase the ball!”
Leverkusen players stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward. Schalke was not far behind and shifted into reverse gear and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!
Neuer, who was standing outside the penalty area and watching a show, suddenly felt cold all over. Why did this ball seem more and more wrong the more he watched it? !
Then he immediately joined the reversing army and ran towards his own goal. His white hair fluttered in the air, vaguely revealing his still very thick hairline.
The ball flew high and far, and now it finally began to show signs of falling.
Neuer ran towards home while looking up to observe the path of the ball. Oh my god, I beg you, brother Earth, can you please lose gravity at this moment and let the ball fly for a while longer!
But the world does not move according to human will. Under the influence of gravity, the ball falls faster and faster.
Leandri couldn't help but tiptoe and peek in the backcourt. Can he score? Neuer will definitely not be able to catch up!
Neuer really couldn't catch up, and he watched the ball fall in front of him in despair more than one meter away from the goal line!
well. . . well? ? ? Hey! ! !
Neuer had prepared himself mentally for conceding a goal and being nailed to the pillar of shame. But luckily for him, there was a way out. Neuer found a way out!
The ball hit the crossbar with a thud, and then flew into Neuer's arms very accurately. Shin-chan, who had dyed his hair white, subconsciously reached out and hugged his baby in his arms.
Neuer's eyes were full of affection. He touched the football in his arms and couldn't help but blow a kiss to the crossbar.
"Good brother, I love you forever!"
After the affectionate confession, Neuer changed his expression and looked at Leandri from a distance with an unhappy face. Good man, I gave you some advice at that time, and you kept silent for a whole season, and finally used it on me, right!
Leandri was a little disappointed when he saw the ball go into Neuer's arms. He thought he could steal the ball from the backcourt, but the goalpost at his home field betrayed him today!
[What the hell is this? Aliens? ! ]
[It’s flying so high, damn, it seems like Neuer can’t catch up! ]
[Oh, oh, oh, it was almost there! Ryan Dele was almost going to score the goal without any assists. ]
[I bet a pig's elbow that Neuer has never smiled so sweetly to his girlfriend. ]
[He smiles like a dog! ]
[But he got everything he wanted! ]
[The most affectionate one in football! ]
[I’m dying of laughter. From now on, when other teams defend us, they have to be careful about our goalkeeper sneaking in from the backcourt and making a stunning overhead kick from a hundred meters away. Hahaha. ]
[This wave is called victory from thousands of miles away!] Who made Neuer stand so far forward! ]
[Well said, Neuer can often transform into a goalkeeper, but our Ryan can't go forward and play as a part-time center forward. What's wrong with a blind kick now? ! ]
[Who said it was a guess? Do you think Ryandelli practices extra every day just to get a meal at the training ground? ]
Heynckes couldn't help but complain in his heart that Neuer was lucky before the game. If the ball had gone a little lower it would have gone in!
However, although Neuer dodged Leandri's outrageous long kick, he still couldn't avoid Deldiyok's shot.
In the 19th minute, Leandri received a pass from Schwab, observed the positions of his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt, and kicked the ball hard again, scaring Schalke into a panic!
The ball found Ballack, who did not stretch his legs to take the ball away, but instead took advantage of the momentum to pass the ball into the penalty area.
Deldiyok, who has infinite power, jumped up with Atsuto Uchida on his back and headed the ball!
Neuer was powerless.
A goal! Leandri was happy again. Although he did not make an assist, this key pass was his!
The goalkeeper of the Chinese Ducks is dreaming happily. Heynckes is impressed by his unparalleled offensive talent and is ready to make it an important part of the team's attack!
However, it seems that Neuer's good luck today ran out at the moment when he just blocked Leandri's shot. The white-haired bear was stabbed in the back by his own player!
In the 27th minute, Kroos passed the ball into the penalty area to Sam, who kicked the ball on the spot!
Neuer dived to the left and the ball hit his fingers and deflected.
Before Shin-chan could even grin, he was horrified to find that the ball hit the goalpost and changed direction!
His good defensive buddy Metzelder failed to brake on the way back, and the ball hit Metzelder's calf and flew back into the goal.
Empty door!
2-0!
Can I curse? Can you scold the defender who made an own goal? !
But after all, he just wanted to come to the door to rescue!
Neuer accepted Metzelder's apology with a dark face.
Another goal was scored and everyone in Leverkusen was happy. 1-0 and 2-0 are different concepts! But a trace of sadness rose in the heart of the Chinese goalkeeper, which was a feeling that only a goalkeeper who had suffered from an own goal by his own defender could have.
My victories are built on your pain, but I also understand your pain deeply.
At this moment, Leandri felt that he was the person who understood Neuer the most in the whole stadium. He never thought that the guy opposite him was actually dreaming, thinking that Schalke would score three goals in a row and make Bayer's happiness come to nothing.
