Chapter 167 Do you want a kiss too? …
Banetta, who was not careful enough and was ambushed, Friedrich, who frequently saved the team with the backcourt iron gate, Heynckes, who made decisive substitutions, Ballack, who found a ray of hope, Deldiyok, who stepped forward decisively, and two masseurs on the sidelines who thought they were the best in Europe in relaxing the players' muscles...
It was just a goal, but it satisfied the entire Leverkusen.
A strange smile of satisfaction appeared on Barak's serious face. Who would dare to say that he was unlucky? This glimmer of hope was earned by him, Barak!
It was Manchester United who were anxious at the moment. Ferguson immediately turned on the hair dryer to the maximum speed.
It is now around the 70th minute, and Manchester United only has half an hour at most to try to turn the tables.
In an instant, Manchester United's relatively relaxed atmosphere disappeared, and everyone stood with their hands on their hips looking at Leverkusen who were celebrating wildly.
"Now the situations of both sides are completely reversed. If Manchester United want to play in the final at Wembley Stadium, they must score another goal in the next period of time and ensure that they do not concede a goal to the opponent."
"Look at this game. Does it resemble the 1996 European Cup, except that the competition has been changed from national teams to clubs. In 1996, Germany defeated England in the semi-finals and won the championship. Today, Leverkusen from Germany and Manchester United from England are also facing each other in the semi-finals, and the final will be held in England, at Wembley!"
"This is a destined reunion. I don't know whether it will be the German team that rewrites the script or the English team that breaks the shackles."
"In fact, I found that Leverkusen was able to get here not only because they were a dark horse, but also because their players in every line were very complete and powerful."
"So we can see that although the Bundesliga players are not as famous as those in La Liga and the Premier League, they are not inferior in terms of skills. Especially this season, Leverkusen is still sitting on the throne of the league. So they themselves do not have any fatal flaws in the front, midfield and backcourt."
Neutral commentators start talking about the dark horse counterattack and the missteps of the giants, which are the favorites of the spectators and are also very exciting highlights in the football world.
In the 73rd minute, Giggs's dribbling was blocked out of bounds. Taking advantage of the dead ball phase, Heynckes made another substitution. He replaced Augusto with Rolfes, who had stronger defensive ability.
The young captain of the pharmaceutical company is responsible for marking and defending. For Leverkusen, keeping the score stable until the end is a victory.
In the 75th minute, Carrick dribbled forward and was directly guarded by Rolfes. He and Friedrich in the backcourt double-teamed him, and Reinartz filled in the backcourt and directly resolved this round of attack.
In the 80th minute, Rooney showed his brilliance again.
Giggs and Carrick continued to cooperate and finally broke into the penalty area, then decisively kicked the ball into the middle!
Rooney jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest, then adjusted his posture and shot directly!
But Ryan Dele saw them early on, and they finally equalized the score. Could he still let Manchester United score again?
Watching Rooney's movements closely, Leandri judged the position and jumped calmly the moment his instep touched the ball, and finally held the ball in his arms easily.
In the 82nd minute, Ferguson sent out a striker again. Nani warmed up urgently on the sidelines and hurried onto the field as requested by the head coach.
Manchester United has changed its lineup from two forwards to three forwards, determined to score a goal in the last ten minutes.
However, although Rooney and Nani can coexist on the field, their tacit understanding is slightly lacking.
Carrick finally dodged Rolfes's defense and passed the ball into the penalty area. At this time, Leverkusen's defense line was almost all attracted by the British star Rooney, and they all surrounded him to try to stop him, which relaxed their attention on Nani.
Nani shook off the defensive players around him and sneaked to the middle alone.
Rooney is now double-teamed, making it difficult for him to kick the ball from the spot. But from a God's perspective, as long as he makes some fake moves and slides to the side with Friedrich and the others, Nani on the right back can directly head the ball into the goal!
However, the audience's perspective is different from the players' field of vision, and the cooperation between the two Ni is not so tacit.
But Rooney, as Manchester United's number one star, is no pushover. Even when double-teamed, he still found an opportunity to shoot, a light shot!
Very spiritual!
Show the true qualities of a golden boy!
But last year's Golden Boy runner-up, Ryan Deli, who is over the age limit this year, didn't want Rooney to have all the credit. He predicted the path of the ball with his terrifying reaction, took two quick steps back and jumped high, and directly blocked the shot!
In the 87th minute, Manchester United, who were focused on a comeback, were almost tricked by Leverkusen again.
Rolfes dribbled past Nani with just two passes, and then passed the ball to Kroos who was waving at him in the frontcourt.
The German wide receiver didn't let the ball stay at his feet for even a second, but instead passed it across to Ballack near the middle.
Barak fired a heavy shot!
Van der Sar made a save at the first moment, but the ball hit his glove and slipped out of his hand!
Fortunately, Vidic successfully kicked the ball out of the baseline, otherwise the increasingly courageous Deldiyok might have scored another goal!
A corner kick opportunity for Leverkusen.
Friedrich did not go into the penalty area. He hid in the half court very obediently, scanning everyone with cautious eyes to see if anyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to trick them. He would then prepare to feed that person some cockroach medicine that he made himself!
In the corner area, Vidal kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Kiessling headed the ball but unfortunately the angle was too straight and was directly confiscated by Van der Sar.
Before everyone could react, veteran Van der Sar quickly kicked the ball forward!
Rooney, Nani and Carrick all move forward!
Carrick got the ball first, and facing the pressing Reinartz, he passed the ball to Rooney at a high pace.
Rooney rumbled towards the Leverkusen goal like a miniature tank.
Friedrich was grateful to himself for loving backcourt defense today, and he immediately moved towards Lu Xiaopang.
Lowering shoulders, shaking, feinting, a series of operations failed to fool the motionless Friedrich, and Rooney had no choice but to choose to knock the ball sideways.
Bang!
Amid everyone's incredulous gazes, Leandri attacked quietly and with a sudden tackle intercepted the ball that Rooney passed to Nani!
The player did make a tackle, but the ball wasn't lost.
Tackle and keep the ball!
Leandri quickly stood up and moved forward with the ball. When he saw the two Neymars behind him and Giggs in front of him rushing towards him at the same time, Leandri chose to attack instead of defend.
As the goalkeeper with the best footwork, Ryan Deli kicked the ball directly from the backcourt!
Shoot? !
Van der Sar felt like he was facing a formidable enemy as he watched the ball getting closer and closer to him.
Finally, he jumped up suddenly and pushed the ball out of the bottom line in the upper right corner of the goal.
Another corner kick!
Time is passing by every second, and Manchester United doesn't have much time to fight back.
Vidal continued to kick, but the ball was knocked out of the sideline during the pass.
The referee signaled for 4 minutes of extra time.
The two head coaches gestured at the same time on the sidelines, constantly giving the latest tactical arrangements.
Almost all Leverkusen players were on defense throughout the first half. Except for Kiessling who stayed in the frontcourt to act as a threat, even Deldiyok, who scored the goal today, retreated behind the center circle.
The Swiss player was not only decisive in shooting today, but also in defense. After seeing Vidic dribbling the ball, he successfully pulled him down with his defensive skills with his eyes.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Giggs on the wing suddenly exerted force and continued to break through with the ball. Manchester United teammates also tried their best to create space for him and distract the defense.
Pulling to the middle, Giggs shot directly as soon as he stepped into the penalty area!
Leandri got ready to save the ball.
Bang!
It is the contact between the ball and the body.
Barak blocks with his body at close range!
Kroos next to him appeared at the point where the ball landed and kicked the ball out of the sideline again!
Beep, beep, beep——!
The total score was tied at 1-1, but Leverkusen successfully advanced to the finals with an away goal!
Countless Bayer Leverkusen fans cheered and celebrated like crazy, and many fans even shed tears in the stands!
Ten years later, they finally reached this point again.
Those players who stood up from the bench at the beginning of the extra time had been waiting on the sidelines. When the whistle sounded, they rushed into the field as soon as possible, hugged everyone they saw, patted everyone's back madly and ruffled their hair.
Neither Leandri nor Kroos were able to find each other in the first place, and they were both stopped by countless teammates.
All the players and coaching team gathered in the away stands, and Rolfes led everyone to sing Leverkusen's team song loudly.
Leandri saw many children and elderly people looking at them with tears in their eyes, trying their best to make sounds with their mouths. There were also some fans who were already crying and sitting on the ground or falling into the arms of their companions.
The Chinese goalkeeper threw his gloves into the stands while singing. After throwing the gloves, he continued to pull off his goalkeeper's uniform with one hand and handed it to a young lady who was crying in the stands, successfully stopping her crying.
The team song ended at this time, but Leandri had not yet finished throwing the ball. Without asking, he directly pulled off Kroos's No. 39 jersey and handed it to the handsome guy who was comforting the crying girl.
"Don't let your love cry."
These two look like a young couple!
Leandri was even happier to see that he had successfully coaxed the girl. He kissed Kroos on the face and shouted to all the fans, "Wembley! Wembley!"
"Wembley! Wembley!" From players to fans, the Bayer Leverkusen people who have been suppressed for too long finally stepped onto the stage of the Champions League final again.
"Baji!"
"Baji!"
"Ryan, you are awesome! Baji!"
Halfway through the Wembley shouting, Kroos found himself being squeezed out. Leandri was surrounded by his teammates, each of whom gave him a kiss on the face. Who wouldn't love such a sweet Korean guy!
Kroos waited quietly for his teammates to finish kissing him. He was quite confident now.
Sure enough, when Kislin kissed the first one and wanted to kiss the second one, Leandri dodged him skillfully. Then his boyfriend came back to him and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Tony, do you want a kiss too?"
Cross chose to just hug him and give him a kiss on the eyes.
