Chapter 172 Toni is different from you...
Vidal took the free kick and Kroos was ready to receive it on the other side.
As the ball left the Chilean's shoe, everyone's eyes followed the ball.
Pass to Del Diyok at the high point!
The latter's header hit the crossbar. Pique ran to the landing point first and was about to kick the ball away when Kroos suddenly ran in front of him and stole the ball.
"What's your use? When you encounter something, you can only ask others to help you out. You are too soft."
Kroos stared at the ball at his feet intently and did not forget to say a few words in return, "Ryan always stands up for me, and I am used to him worrying about me."
"Didn't Ryan stick up for you?"
"It's OK if someone knows whether I am soft or hard."
Cross felt that he was just performing a routine operation. He couldn't understand why the opponent's breathing suddenly became heavier, giving people the feeling that his defense was about to break.
"I think you should have a better relationship with Ryan. You are teammates on the national team. If you touch me again, Ryan will come over and beat you up again."
groove!
Pique only felt the blood rushing to his brain, and the next second he even lost the ball sadly.
Fortunately, Mascherano made up for the position in time, so Leverkusen did not pose a real threat to the goal guarded by Valdes.
When Leandri saved Messi's shot again, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Leandri always felt that his boyfriend had suffered a great loss when he was face to face with Pique just now, and ran to find Kroos as soon as the first half ended.
In fact, he was very exhausted today. Barcelona's passing and control were boring to watch, but the threat to the goal was very terrifying. He was sweaty and dirty at the moment, but he did not hesitate to run to his "weak and unable to take care of himself" boyfriend as soon as possible, completely forgetting who made him cry for his parents at night.
After taking a closer look, Leandri was relieved to see that Kroos still looked like an innocent little kitten.
"What else can you do besides hiding behind Ryan?!"
Pique, who happened to see it, couldn't help but start talking again, while Xavi next to him was speechless.
"What's wrong with me just wanting to protect him? I'm willing to protect my teammates!"
"Why didn't you stand up for me when I was kicked out of the national team game?"
"Don't you know how to fight? Toni is different from you!"
Kroos didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from reading the atmosphere. Xiao Kuan suddenly told Leandri that he was thirsty and wanted to go back to drink water. He also asked Leandri that since he had fought so hard in the first half, he must go back to the locker room early to ask the masseur for a massage. The Korean goalkeeper snorted at Pique, with whom he had just fought today, and pulled Kroos back to the locker room.
Pique: ...Although I don’t know what the other side said, I always want to curse the scheming German dog man!
During the half-time break, the players replenished water, rested, and listened to tactics in the locker room, and the fans in the stands also took a break from their busy schedule to eat something.
There are also places where people secretly socialize.
Maria knew the relationship between the two young people, and she also knew that her precious son had met each other's parents, but her husband didn't know. Although Maria wanted to go over and say hello to the four Crosses, she was afraid of making things worse.
It’s not a big problem, Cross’s mother took the initiative!
"Ryan takes good care of Tony on the court, and they have a really good relationship. You have educated Ryan so well and he is so good!" Cross's mother took the initiative to talk to Maria.
Felix next to him also took the initiative to make friends with the big brother who was dressed in a suit and had an elite temperament.
Maria was a little reserved at first, but the more they talked, the more she realized that the other party had no intention of actively talking about their relationship, so she relaxed a little and started chatting.
Mr. Lafayette occasionally agreed with his wife that Tony was also a good boy, and Ryan often mentioned the help Kroos had given him in Germany when he called.
The four Crosses didn't know what to say for a moment. Mr. Chairman, you'd better not thank our Xiao Kuan yet. He secretly slept with your good son without telling any of us!
However, Karl Lagerfeld did not have much time to listen to their conversation, as his assistant Manuel was also there, and he took a break from his busy schedule to talk about work.
The eldest brother saw the face that looked like and yet not like Toni Kroos, and said, "Are you his brother? Your face looks much narrower than his."
"Really? You and Ryan are brothers after all. He said the same thing about me before!"
"You are his eldest brother, right? Ryan told us before that his eldest brother, who seems to be the calmest in his family, treats him the best."
"Ryan often tells us that you are the most important person to him."
Felix sighed in his heart. The eldest brother of the Leandri family looked sour when he saw his brother today. It was obvious that he did not approve of him as his brother-in-law. The first words he said were quite harsh. But what could Felix do?
A Zhai shed tears as he boasted about Leandri's eldest brother for his brother.
But as he watched the successful man opposite him smile more and more, Felix felt as if he had found the secret to passing the level.
"Ryan also told me and Tony that his brother took good care of him in every way and would definitely bless him to find the love he would always be with. Brother, what a coincidence! I also wish Tony the best!"
The eldest brother blushed and turned pale on the spot, and finally sighed and chose to shut up.
"I didn't expect that the first meeting between the two families would be in this kind of occasion." Maria always felt that this was not polite.
Kroos's mother shook her head. "We understand. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. As long as they are happy, the game has started again. Let's watch the game."
The two sides changed sides in the second half.
At the beginning of the game, Barcelona quickly took the initiative and did not give Leverkusen the opportunity to launch a strong attack like they did at the beginning of the game.
Short pass, short pass, and short pass!
Leverkusen even collapsed and didn't touch the ball for three consecutive minutes!
In the 50th minute, Barcelona once again demonstrated the philosophy of passing and controlling the ball to the fullest on the field with their terrifying tacit understanding.
Iniesta passed the ball to Messi in front of him, who passed it back to the right rear. Xavi, who was waiting there, passed the ball to the wing. Villa held the ball and passed it across the middle again.
The ball returned to Messi's feet.
Shoot!
Leandri dives sideways again!
The originally enthusiastic cheers came to an abrupt end when the ball was picked up by Leandri. Messi shook his head, licked his lips, and went back to prepare for the next attack.
With nearly 70% ball possession, Barcelona's players were not in a hurry.
These seemingly ordinary passes actually constantly consumed the physical strength of Leverkusen's defense. Young players Friedrich and Reinartz were fine, but Hyypia could hardly run anymore.
In the 54th minute, Hyypia's speed and stamina were completely unable to keep up with Messi. The Argentine passed him smoothly without any hindrance.
One-on-one!
Messi's pace is well-known for being fast. He was a little annoyed by Leandri's series of amazing saves today. Why hasn't the goal come yet?
Messi is ready to go alone.
Leandri saw the opponent getting closer and closer, and he attacked without hesitation without slowing down his pace!
The two sides are getting closer. Neither of them showed any intention of slowing down.
The height difference between the two is about 20 centimeters, which also creates a difference in their center of gravity. Messi's flexible body gives him an advantage at this time.
At the moment of the encounter, Messi suddenly stepped on the ball quickly to stop it, then pulled the ball to the right, as if he was going to cut inside in the next second. When Leandri stretched out one foot, Messi shook his ankle and pulled the ball back.
Shake the cow's tail!
Ronaldinho's signature move is reproduced on Messi, the one he cares for!
Seeing this action, everyone in Barcelona stood up excitedly. Guardiola also stared at Messi on the field with his eyes shining and his arms involuntarily raised into fists.
The goal seems to be coming soon, and the Big Ear Cup seems to be just around the corner!
Messi immediately prepared to kick after passing Leandri!
"Is this human speed or human reaction?!"
"After being passed by Messi, Leandri turned around and chased back, using his long legs to reach out and poke the ball away!"
"Messi's studs still rubbed against Ryan's thigh, but he didn't care at all and chased back! OK, the ball was kicked out by Ryan first!"
"Dear audience members, have you heard the terrifying volume at Wembley right now? Barcelona's disbelief and Bayer Leverkusen's desperate escape from death are all conveyed through the sound!"
[This ball, my God, I suggest all defenders learn it! Forget about the goalkeeper, you can't learn from anyone else except Neuer. ]
[This is the first time I’ve seen someone successfully intercept a player after being dribbled past. ]
[At this point, we have to praise Ryan’s 1.88-meter-long legs]
[Lian is 190cm tall and his legs are 188cm long, right? 6]
[Messi looked incredulous, hammering the ground and sulking, hahaha]
[He is not fighting alone, Guagua on the sidelines is holding his head in disbelief again]
Guardiola's eyes widened, looking at Leandri who was punching the air with unbelievable eyes, and then he looked at the stands where there were many people wearing Real Madrid jerseys and Florentino who was sitting in a suit and tie in the family area.
This is crazy. I played against Real Madrid 5 or 6 times this season!
Leverkusen's ball possession rate still didn't improve, but their condition and fighting spirit gradually improved.
Xavi was keenly aware of this, and then made two consecutive shots to attack Bayer Leverkusen again, but they were all resolved by Leandri.
All the commentators watching the game began to praise the young goalkeeper who is only 21 years old. There are still not many tricks in the football world to crack Barcelona's passing and controlling system. Leverkusen's on-the-spot response today was not much different from that of other teams, but why did Bayer Leverkusen persist for so long?
The game was still tied at 0-0 after 60 minutes, and no one could ignore the role played by Leandri in front of the goal.
Guti was laughing so happily that he patted Raul's shoulder and said happily, "This kid is really good. He exploded as soon as he played for Barcelona!"
Guardiola was the first to change the formation. He asked Villa and Messi to continue to attack the wing, where veteran Hyypia was almost unable to hold on.
