Chapter 174 The championship belongs to Leverkusen
Pique looked at the goalkeeper running all over the field and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Villa saw the national team's substitute goalkeeper carrying the person who assisted him all the way to the Leverkusen stands.
Messi put his hands on his hips, lowered his head and said nothing.
Valdes was banging on the goalpost, unable to believe what had just happened.
But the ball that had stopped rolling in the net lay there quietly, announcing to everyone the ironclad result.
Just a few seconds ago, Kroos kicked the ball, drawing a high curve in the air. Everyone in the penalty area focused their eyes on it. Kisling, Deldiyok, Pique and Abidal were squeezing around. Puyol, who came on as a substitute, tried hard to block Ballack's position, and Reinartz was also ready to move at the back post.
What about Friedrich?
He is at the back, he is lagging behind!
The ball jumped up and went to the back post!
Pedro next to Reinartz retreated and stared at him. Barcelona was also cautious. It was the last minute and the last chance, and they didn't want to be pecked in the eye by an eagle.
Pedro and Reinartz jumped at the same time, and they kept blocking each other and pushing each other, so neither of them could use any strength, let alone touch the ball.
Just as Pedro breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pat his butt and walk back, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle and listen to Gua's teachings, thinking about how the overtime would bankrupt the pharmaceutical factory. As a result, just as he landed, a bright figure leaped up from beside him with an indomitable momentum!
Bang!
The ball, which neither of them could reach, was pushed forward by him with all his strength!
This was a header from the penalty area line. The distance was far enough and there were enough obstacles on the road, but the ball cleverly flew through the gaps between all the people with amazing power!
Valdes saw it, and just as he reached out, the ball hit the crossbar!
The ball hit the crossbar and then deflected down into the net!
All Leverkusen fans jumped up from their benches almost at the same time. They didn't even say a word, but only used the most primitive shouting to vent their emotions.
Ahhhhhhh!
Countless fans opened their mouths wide and yelled at each other face to face!
Leandri's eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the ball. Even when he accidentally leaned against Reinartz and staggered a bit when it landed, it did not distract his attention.
"****! Ryan! ****! You are a lunatic!"
Reinartz's roar rang in Leandri's ears, but he couldn't hear it. He couldn't even hear the referee's whistle that signaled the goal was valid and ended the game.
"You lunatic, how did you think of running here?! You are a genius! We scored! We are the champions! We sent Barcelona to hell at the last moment!"
Reinartz kept shaking Leandri's shoulders, and the last sentence completely woke Leandri from his trance. He ignored Reinartz's desperate attempts to grab his hands to celebrate with him, and simply hugged Kroos who was running towards him, then carried him all the way to the bottom of the fans' stands!
There are the fans who have been waiting for a long time and are equally crazy!
Leandri held Kroos and put him on the billboard, but Kroos turned around and hugged him before he even had his feet firmly planted.
"Ryan! Ryan! I knew you could get there damn near, you could score that goal!"
The two young men were venting their excitement in front of all the fans, and the next second, the whole scene suddenly changed.
"Hmm..."
"Ah? Sao Rui Sao Rui, you're going too fast!"
Morientes, who was running wildly behind, failed to brake and crashed directly into Leandri, which also led to the Chinese goalkeeper and Kroos, who turned around and lowered his head to celebrate with him, kissing each other mouth to mouth.
Leandri was even happier. With teeth marks still on his lips, he hugged his big brother and Kroos who jumped down without any concern. Then came the other players.
Rolfes pulled over the tearful Hyypia and red-eyed Ballack, and all the first-team players, coaches and staff gathered under the fan stands and sang the team song again.
But this time, the team song was discontinuous. It was sung with a crying tone, and the lyrics sounded intermittently in Wembley Stadium.
They wanted this championship for too long, they missed it once, and finally brought him home again many years later.
By the end of the song, Leandri's eyes were already filled with tears. This was the first time that Leverkusen did not sing the entire team song. However, the last sentence of the team song, "We are loyal to you and will win next time," seemed to have been transmitted to every corner of the world that pays attention to football through the Internet, television, and radio.
Leandri turned around and saw Puyol comforting his teammates, Villa lying on the ground with his arms covering his eyes, and Pique sitting on the ground looking at him. After thinking about it, Leandri walked over to Puyol and hugged each other, then dragged Pique up from the ground. Finally, he said hello to Xavi and Iniesta who didn't show much expression before leaving.
The podium is being built on the field, and the young men from the pharmaceutical factory can’t contain their excitement and joy and share it with their families.
Mr. Lafayette and Leandri hugged each other tightly on the sidelines, "You are my pride."
"Dad has always been my pride. I have also been working hard to be like you and want to be as good as you. I love you." The flat suit was stained with a lot of dirt and grass after the hug, but Karl Lagerfeld didn't care at all. For the Real Madrid president, this was as happy and proud as his team winning the championship.
The two young men hugged Maria, the eldest brother, the four Crosses and others one by one, and acted like good children in front of their family.
The only one in the audience who didn't know whether it was true or not, Mr. Fogg, said to Kroos, "You two really have a tacit understanding in your cooperation. Your friendship will definitely last forever."
The eldest brother had a look of disdain on his face behind fp. Cross and Maria were trying hard to hold back their laughter while feeling a little worried. "Mr. Chairman, if you are so optimistic about their friendship, then there shouldn't be any obstacles for Kuan Kuan to marry into a wealthy family in the future."
"Dad, why are you crying?"
When Leandri was immersed in the warm atmosphere of the family, a child's voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Leandri turned around to look.
Oh, tears are falling!
Pointing in the direction of the next door to his family, Leandri ran over to find Barak.
"Congratulations, Mr. Champion!"
Barak was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He looked over and saw that it was their biggest contributor today. "No one can ever say that you are not destined to be a champion, Misha."
Heynckes came over and called people to take the shy and taciturn Kroos and the "Bear" combination back. The podium had already been set up.
The players who usually had no manners all lowered their heads and put them into the medal straps, then walked up to the podium in a heroic and confident manner.
This is the youth storm that has just begun.
By the time Heynckes came on stage with wrinkles on his face, only Ballack and Rolfes were left behind him.
The two men walked to the center of the podium one after the other, wearing their medals. The beautiful etiquette lady handed the big-ear cup to Rolfes.
"Let's go together?" Rolfes asked Barak beside him, "Let's go together, Misha."
Barak's heart was moved. He was actually ridiculously shy at this moment. "How about calling Ryan?"
The two older brothers simultaneously looked at Ryan Deli, who was standing in the last row on both ends of the offense and defense.
"I'm right here, call Grandpa Hai to come with you!"
"The champion is——"
"Leverkusen!"
Golden rain fell from the sky as the old, middle-aged and young people raised their glasses together. This summer, the main theme of football is Leverkusen.
"Why don't you go to the front and raise your glass, today..."
Leandri interrupted Cross and whispered in his ear with his hand covering his mouth, "I want to be with you."
“But this kind of opportunity is rare.”
"You are more important than the championship. Tony you are my greatest honor."
After saying this, Leandri followed in the footsteps of Ballack and Rolfes and ran back to the family area. While his elder brother and old man looked at him with envy, he hung the medal on Maria, who was smiling from ear to ear.
"I love you all!"
Cross's mother couldn't help but remind her son when she saw him staring at the loving mother and son next door without blinking, "Keep your eyes focused!"
Xiao Kuan told her mother and Felix what her boyfriend had just said.
"Oh, Ryan, you did really well today, congratulations!" The two Cross brothers watched their mother suddenly join the neighboring family, and when they came back they repeatedly warned Xiao Kuan to be nicer to Ryan.
"If Ryan runs away, you will never find such a good partner in your life!"
A group of people from Real Madrid also came over. Guti patted his good brother on the back and praised him, saying that he was worthy of being a good brother of Jose Maria. He said he would take revenge!
Casillas was given a pair of gloves from a young man, saying they were the gloves of the goalkeeper who scored in the Champions League final, bringing good luck to him.
While muttering to himself, "I'm not Neuer," Casillas put away his gloves and prepared to take the final version back home to keep it for later.
Eric came over with his girlfriend to congratulate Ryan on his win.
"Hello Annie!" Leandri still remembered that Eric had told him that he brought Annie to watch his game.
"Annie and I broke up. This is Bonnie." Eric explained very naturally, and then the two brothers gave Ryan a big hug. "Congratulations, Ryan!"
Beckham also came with Giggs's mission to ask for the jersey, but he was disappointed to find out that the jersey had been reserved by brother Ryan and the gloves were also sold out.
Shame on you!
At the press conference after the game, Heynckes brought Rolfes and Leandri together. If the goalkeeper who performed the best today did not appear, I am afraid the fans and reporters would riot.
There was a series of compliments at the beginning, until a reporter pointed out those two slogans at the end.
"Ryan, congratulations on winning the championship today, but I want to ask you what you want to say about the slogans that Barcelona fans chanted against you in the 80th minute of the game?"
Leandri moved the microphone to his mouth.
The club has told me that it will appeal to UEFA regarding this action.
They said I was unloved and that I was a lost child.
Maybe it was true in the past, but actually when I was in the orphanage, everyone there cared about me very much, not to mention after I was adopted by my papa and mama.
Before that, I didn’t have many toys and didn’t know what Disney was, but later, I gained the love of everyone in the Perez family and I could be my true self at home.
After I started playing football, the training ground of Valdebebas almost became my childhood playground. I met coaches who were dedicated to teaching, seniors who had high expectations for me, peers who worked hard together, and the Mellinga who grew up with me.
Later I transferred to Leverkusen, where I won my first German Cup, my first salad bowl, and today my first Champions League Cup. The club allowed me to go to school and play football at the same time. The coaching staff doted on me. My goalkeeper coach was willing to sacrifice his time to practice with me. Mr. Heynckes would allow me to occasionally act crazy on the court. The fans were more patient than anyone else when they saw me concede a goal and told me that it was no big deal.
Maybe I have had some bad things happen to me, but since I can remember, I have seen so many people every day who I like and who like me.
Those words can't hurt me because I know there are many, many people who love me.
But this is not the most important thing today.
Leandri saw several sneaky figures from the door next to him, and he and Rolfes each controlled the head coach.
"The championship belongs to Leverkusen!"
Glasses of beer poured down from the smiling captain, head coach and best player!
