Chapter 170: Playing Barcelona makes me excited
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the 2010/2011 Champions League final. Today's match is between Barcelona from Spain and Bayer Leverkusen from Germany."
"We can see that the stands are already full of people, with Barcelona fans occupying almost half of the stands. Countless fans who are fascinated by the Dream Team's smooth passing and controlling tactics are waiting for them to win the trophy for the fourth time."
"Leverkusen has quite a few fans, too. Haha. I've discovered that unless they're in Barcelona, there are always quite a few fans of their opponents! And Leverkusen's fans are definitely something to be proud of. They just won the first league trophy in their team's history not long ago, and now they've made it to the Champions League final. I wonder if they can win the first Champions League trophy in their team's history again today! Wait a minute, who do we see? Casillas, Guti, Raul and others are all sitting in the fan area of the pharmaceutical factory. They're obviously here to support Leandri. Several guys are wearing their little brother's goalkeeper uniforms to cheer him on."
"The camera shows the families of the players from both sides. We can see Messi's girlfriend Antonella, and this is Iniesta's girlfriend and children..."
"Now we are in the family area of Leverkusen. Wow, Florentino Perez! We see that the president of Real Madrid is here today, but he did not choose to sit in the VIP area today. Instead, he came to watch the game as a father. I think if Leverkusen wins the game after 90 minutes today, his happiness must be doubled!"
"Okay, players from both teams are coming on the field. The Barcelona midfielder wearing the captain's armband today is Xavi. Their legendary captain Puyol unexpectedly appeared on the bench today. However, we also know that he was frequently troubled by injuries in the second half of the season. I wonder if he has had a recurrence recently. This will also affect Guardiola's lineup."
The Champions League show ended, and the Big Ear Cup was brought into the field by four royal guards, and then the players from both teams followed the referee team onto the grass.
Compared to the Barcelona players who were still a little relaxed, the Leverkusen players all looked solemn, and almost no one outside was optimistic that they could overcome the tough challenge of Barcelona today.
Playing the team song, choosing sides, shaking hands, this series of actions is so familiar, but it seems to be particularly long because today is the final.
Beep——
With the whistle of Hungarian referee Kassai, the game officially began!
Leverkusen took the lead in kicking off. After the whistle, Kiessling passed the ball back to Ballack, and he and Deldiyok ran quickly to the frontcourt.
After receiving the ball, Ballack passed it to Vidal, who kicked the ball on the spot!
Kiesling took the ball, dribbled to the side and shot decisively!
Valdes took the ball steadily.
In the 3rd minute, Leverkusen launched another attack.
Kroos dribbled the ball forward on the left, then passed the ball to Kiessling again, who headed it!
Unfortunately, the ball hit the post and was caught by Valdes.
Leverkusen's tactic was to launch a strong attack at the start of the game, and to take every shot they could. By the time Barcelona's passing and controlling rhythm got into play, it was unclear whether Bayer Leverkusen's possession rate could reach more than 40%.
Leverkusen and the neutral fans felt a little sorry to see Kiessling return empty-handed again.
Needless to say, Bayer Leverkusen is the most popular team. Neutral fans prefer to watch the fun, especially Barcelona falling to the ground crying and screaming. As the saying goes, when Barcelona is in trouble, everyone gives thumbs up. When they saw Bayer Leverkusen's fierce attack at the start, they raised their hands happily, and were about to raise their thumbs but had to retract them reluctantly.
But Guardiola, in charge of the Dream Team III, quickly dominated the tempo on the field. Tikitaka's smoke gradually enveloped the entire field, and Leverkusen gradually evolved from a flash attack to a constant counterattack.
The cooperation between Busquets, Schweinsteiger and Xavi became more and more tacit. A few passes made Leverkusen exhausted in counter-attack but made no progress.
The rhythm on the field was almost completely under Barcelona's control.
In the 12th minute, Barcelona advanced as a whole and the ball was sent to the front court through countless randomly formed triangles.
After Xavi received the ball, he passed it again. Iniesta made a fried meatball to get past Vidal, and then immediately made a straight pass to his teammates!
Pique made a run at the back post and shot directly!
Leandri ran quickly to the right side of the goal and jumped up to grab the ball.
"Look at this ball, Pique is making a run! Pique's position is a little hard to defend, okay! Leandri saves the ball!"
"The main credit for this goal goes to Iniesta. The fried meatballs are indeed a very useful skill. Vidal had no way to deal with him and he was passed by. Friedrich in front of him and Ballack on the side were forced to come over to make up for him, and they missed Pique who came in."
"Iniesta is indeed very delicate in his handling of the ball, but Leandri is also very good. This is his third time meeting Barcelona. It feels like the boy is in such good shape every time he sees Barcelona!"
"Everyone knows that Leandri came from Real Madrid, so he must be very eager to fight against Barcelona."
"Speaking of Real Madrid origins, we saw a lot of Real Madrid fans today, some of them were sitting in the away fans section."
"Meilinger has always been quite fond of Leandri. I guess Leandri has never seen any criticism from Real Madrid fans in them."
"There's nothing we can do. He has been a pillar of the youth training team at all levels since he was a child. He is a good goalkeeper and good-looking. His father is the president of Real Madrid, but he never did anything wrong in the club. In the end, he was sold out miserably by the former rubbish president."
“What you can’t get is always the best, hahahaha.”
"And how should I put it? After Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League last year, Leandri led Leverkusen to snipe Barcelona, bloodstained the field and succeeded! This year Barcelona advanced to the final by stepping on Real Madrid, and Leandri appeared again."
"If that's the case, then I'm a Real Madrid fan and I like him too. If Leandri could win the trophy with the team today, I guess Mellington wouldn't care whether Leverkusen is willing or not and would just give him the title of little prince and captain's successor and weld it on his head."
With the ball in his hands, Leandri kept shouting in German at everyone not to be discouraged or afraid, as it was impossible for Barcelona not to make mistakes in a 90-minute game.
Perhaps the fans will find it boring to watch passing and controlling the ball, but for the opponents, the suffocating feeling of not being able to touch the ball is really unbearable. Leandri himself has been dealing with Barcelona's football philosophy for so many years and is quite clear about their approach, constantly cheering for his teammates.
In the 18th minute, Barcelona attacked again.
Xavi received the pass from Busquets and passed it to Messi, and the Argentine shot in front of the goal!
Leandri didn't give him any chance at all, he suddenly dived and pressed the ball under his body.
Four minutes later, Messi moved back a little and continued to cooperate with Hapić and Baird. Hyypia stayed close to Messi and did not dare to relax at all.
Seeing that he was being closely watched, Messi did not plan to force a breakthrough. He made an arc in the middle and the ball came to Villa's feet.
Calabash Brothers showed his strength on the wing and cut inside to pass Kadlec.
One-on-one!
Leandri lowered his body and stared closely at his national team teammate. Villa saw Leandri hunched his back and kicked a high ball before Kadlec chased back and met him!
It was fine that Raul Gutierrez bullied me with high balls when I was a kid, but how can I avoid being bullied by you guys when I grow up?
Leandri became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He didn't want to be looked down upon. He was well prepared. It could even be said that his action was a deliberate attempt to leave a flaw and allow Villa to shoot at the upper right corner.
This wave is called fishing enforcement, this wave is called all is fair in war!
Leandri jumped up quickly and caught the ball with both hands when it was about to enter the net.
"Lian's skills are becoming more and more mature now."
"Indeed, his jump and reaction just now were much faster than before. Competition is really a training exercise!
"He was able to save Villa's one-on-one shots. How do you feel, Igor?"
"I'm so relieved, Jose!"
Casiraghi and the other two sat in the stands bragging about their little brother without any concealment, while Marcelo next to them was trying hard to unscrew the cap of a water bottle in a corner where no one was paying attention.
I can’t unscrew it, I won’t drink it!
In the 27th minute, Ballack passed the ball to Vidal, but the Chilean failed to hold the ball firmly and was snatched away by Messi who suddenly retreated.
Hyypia and Friedrich immediately rushed forward with sweat on their foreheads!
Messi dribbled the ball in small steps and before being double-teamed, he knocked the ball towards the goal!
Pedro!
The unguarded Pedro shook off Reinartz at some point and rushed into the penalty area alone. Friedrich chased after him again.
Pedro kicks!
brush!
Leandri attacked, without using his hands, with a clean tackle in the penalty area, successfully shoveling the ball out of the penalty area!
Reinartz finally chased back and quickly cleared the ball.
Leandri stood up from the ground and shouted to the surroundings.
This is my goal, don’t even think about coming over!
[My God, no matter whether Leverkusen can win the game today, Leandri is a god in this game! ]
[Kill Barcelona two one-on-one chances in a row? This one rushed out and transformed into a security guard without any hesitation or fear! ]
[He saved the balls of two of Barcelona's three forwards, so now only Messi is left, right? ]
[It’s not a big deal, it’s just a matter of time. ]
[Look at Leandri’s roar. Does it look like he will give Barcelona a chance to score? It seems like this guy gets excited when he plays against Barcelona! ]
In the 30th minute, Messi broke through the middle and Vidal had no choice but to knock down the Argentine striker at the front of the penalty area.
The referee warned Vidal and then gave a free kick in a very good position.
Directing the positioning of the human wall carefully, Leandri kept clapping his gloved hands to encourage himself, and also tried to use the sound to have some influence on the Barcelona players.
Messi was standing in front of the free throw line. Since Guardiola took over Barcelona, he has become the team's first free kick taker.
The whistle blew, and Messi took a run-up and shot directly!
The ball curved around the wall and headed straight for the left side of Leandri's goal. At this time, Leandri was still standing on the right!
Bang!
Under the incredulous gazes of the audience, Leandri quickly ran to the left, and then flew into the air!
Caught the ball!
Leverkusen's goalkeeper fell outside the goal post with the ball!
Leandri immediately got up, held the ball with one hand, waved his right hand vigorously, and shouted "yes" excitedly! yes!
Guardiola on the sidelines was ready to celebrate, but he was painfully watching the opposing goalkeeper's performance become more and more miraculous.
Guagua holds his head!
