Chapter 185 Shooting Clearance
In the 20th minute, Borussia Mönchengladbach once again launched an attack on the goal guarded by Leandri.
Several players in the midfield and frontcourt kept passing the ball, and finally Reus took the ball and rushed into the penalty area.
The tall and big Friedrich was firmly in position in front of the little Rocket, while Reinartz and Kadlec blocked the passing routes beside Hank and Hermann, forcing Reus to kick the ball hastily.
Leandri caught the ball very easily.
"Today, Leverkusen's defense was very coordinated. We can see that as Monchengladbach kept passing the ball, their passing options became fewer and fewer."
"From the beginning, Rolfes has been marking the players to reduce their movement. Not to mention that the back line was very tight today. Reus can get the ball, but he can't pass it in the penalty area. Every teammate, including himself, is being watched by Leverkusen players, and Friedrich's physical advantage is indeed very strong."
"But Reus' performance today was also very impressive. Although his physical strength was different and his teammates' cooperation was blocked by Leverkusen, he was still able to find a little space to shoot."
"Yes, sometimes we have to realize that it is very rare for a player to be able to take a shot in a double-team situation like this."
"Reus has been selected for the German national team this year. I hope this young man can score his first goal for his national team as soon as possible."
"The German team's current reserve of young players can really be said to be in a blowout state, with Kroos, Reus, Gotze, Schurrle and so on. I think the biggest headache for head coach Loew now is who to choose."
"I also hope we can have this sweet trouble."
"Ahem, okay, Leandri's long pass goes straight to the front court, let's see Leverkusen's attack."
Xu Wei quickly changed the subject, as he was afraid that Shen Fangjian's words would cause some trouble again.
Augusto in the frontcourt received Leandri's long pass and immediately rushed towards Borussia Mönchengladbach's goal.
Sam retreated to cooperate with Augusto, and the two players continued to pull on the right side. When Sam stepped into the penalty area with the ball, Augusto began to move to the side, and Ballack in the middle also started to move and try to create space for Sam.
Bang!
Sam used his speed to dribble past the defender and suddenly kicked a cross.
Kiesling in the middle jumped high and hit the opponent with his forehead with full force!
Ter Stegen jumped up quickly and finally blocked Kiessling's powerful header with one hand.
But the threat from Borussia Mönchengladbach is not over yet.
Ballack made a follow-up shot!
0-1!
Leverkusen took the lead away from home in the 22nd minute.
In the 35th minute, Borussia Mönchengladbach, eager to equalize the score, launched a counterattack.
Hermann was brought down by Reinartz in front of the penalty area while dribbling the ball. The referee gave him a yellow card and a direct free kick.
Reus stood in front of the ball.
Step back, run up, and shoot!
The ball drew a rainbow in the air again, and then suddenly there was an obvious drop!
Leandri felt like he was about to be thrown into the air before he managed to drag the ball out from the intersection of the goal post and the crossbar.
[Leandri was amazing today, this save was extremely difficult! ]
[I thought the Rockets' shot would go in. The arc was so beautiful and the fall in front of the goal was so sudden. ]
[Leandri made two saves like this today, and just now he turned around and saved the ball. ]
[Can we put it more elegantly? That’s called looking back at the moon! ]
[But to be honest, it’s really cool to see Leandri make saves. I feel so relieved when he’s in front of the goal! ]
The goalkeeper of the Chinese Brassica chinensis got up from the ground with a grin on his face. He finally felt relieved when he saw the ball bouncing outside the goal, but he couldn't help but mutter, "It looks so soft, how come this shot is so tricky and hard to defend!"
However, when he saw Reus pouting and walking towards the corner with a look of disappointment at the ball being blocked, Leandri regained his spirits.
The challenges continue.
Reus once again stood in the corner ready to take a free throw.
The penalty area was crowded with people, each with their own little ideas, both attackers and defenders tried to use this opportunity to attack the opponent's goal.
After kicking the ball, Reus chose to directly lift the ball into the penalty area!
The tall Friedrich wanted to head the ball again, but there were many tall guys in Monchengladbach. The 185cm tall Hanke was also not weak in the confrontation in front of the goal. He overpowered the two defensive generals Friedrich and Reinartz and headed the ball in the penalty area!
Leandri's spirit was tense the whole time. When he saw his teammates failed to defend, he jumped up immediately and grabbed the ball from the air with his hands stretched out.
In the 43rd minute, Borussia Mönchengladbach once again had a very threatening opportunity.
Dante made a large transfer in the backcourt, and after receiving the ball, Nordved passed it horizontally to Reus, who had an extremely strong desire to attack.
The little rocket on the left side, who had already entered the launch state, pulled the ball to the right, easily passed Ballack beside him, and then faced old acquaintances Friedrich and Leandri again.
Although he kept changing directions, Reus didn't slow down at all. In the next fake move, he successfully got past Friedrich who had an unstable center of gravity and created a gap!
Leandri's alarm bells rang in his heart, and he had a one-on-one chance.
With his hands slightly open, Leandri was ready to attack, but he saw Reus suddenly shot a half-high ball!
The Banya goalkeeper immediately stopped attacking, and the ball was already parallel to his body.
Turn around immediately!
Leandri knew that he could not catch up with the ball which was flying faster and faster, so he subconsciously made a very risky decision.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the young goalkeeper of the Chinese Banya team decided to fight poison with poison. He raised his half-raised right leg and shot the ball in front of him!
With the combined effect of the two forces, the ball lived up to expectations and turned into an anti-aircraft cannon flying towards the stands, becoming a little treasure that fans scrambled for.
[I have been watching football for over a hundred years and have never seen a save like this]
[Could this be the legendary shooting clearance? ]
[If this happened at the feet of a defender, it would probably be an own goal, hahahaha]
[I think Leandri didn't want his own goal to be scored by the opponent. Maybe he was thinking that if he really had to score a goal, it could only be scored by me myself! ]
[Hahaha, you are poisonous, brother]
Leandri, who successfully cleared the ball, breathed a sigh of relief. Reus' kick was too powerful and he would have been too late to save it. He might as well try his luck, as fortune and luck are sought in danger!
Ancelotti on the sidelines was even more excited, waving his hands and celebrating wildly, as if a big fan had seen him become famous overseas.
The big boss didn't see the fruit candy that accidentally fell from his pocket, nor did he see his son secretly pick it up and put it in his pocket to complain to Leandri.
In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Ballack tackled the No. 18 midfielder of Borussia Mönchengladbach who was facing him near the center line, and the referee gave him another yellow card.
As the free kick, which was far away and not very threatening, was kicked into the Monchengladbach half by Leandri, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Leandri ran to exchange jerseys with Reus.
Cross, who was watching the live broadcast, was jealous.
Leandri handed the exchanged jersey to Davide.
Cross is fine again.
"This is for you." These two people were born in the wrong era, otherwise the Anti-Japanese War would have been shortened by at least half. The two people connected accurately in front of tens of thousands of people without being noticed by anyone. "It just fell out of my dad's pocket!"
Leandri stuffed the small candy box into his gloves without leaving any trace.
As soon as Ancelotti entered the locker room, he happily praised everyone, especially Sam, who scored the goal, and Leandri, who was a master of saves.
Leandri didn't say anything and listened obediently to the coach's tactical arrangements. Before coming on the field in the second half, the young goalkeeper asked the hardworking equipment manager if he was hungry.
The simple young man shook his head, but Leandri forced a box of candy into his hand.
"The coach asked me to give it to you. He said you worked hard. This is the candy he brought from Italy. He only gave it to you. I have none of it."
The young staff member was so moved that he walked up to the head coach and thanked him, "Mr. Ancelotti, you are really... I really don't know how to thank you. My family was not well off when I was young. I really wanted to eat candy when I was young, but I was reluctant to do so. Until now, no one knew that I was obsessed with candy. I didn't expect that you would find out. I really don't know what to say. Thank you so much, woo woo woo."
Ancelotti, who was rummaging around looking for candy, was stunned by the thanks. Then Leandri's touching voice rang out, "Oh my God, we have such a coach who cares for us very much. Victory to Carlo!"
"Victory to Carlo!"
"This is what you deserve, young man." Ancelotti looked very kind and took the initiative to hug the young man, but he started to mutter in his heart.
Damn it, how did this box of candy that I had finally gotten from Italy and hadn’t even opened end up in Leandri’s hands?
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Borussia Mönchengladbach replaced a defender with a midfielder to strengthen the attack.
However, in the 65th minute, Leandri immediately launched an attack after picking up Nordvetter's long-range shot.
The hand-thrown ball was passed to Kadlec who was reaching out to ask for it, and the latter showed everyone the dominance of the defender on the wing.
This guy ran with the ball all the way to the edge of the opposite penalty area. Facing double-teaming from defenders and midfielders, Kadlec said that a good defender should shoot!
But no matter that Rolfes next to him was shouting his name, Kadlec was like a scumbag and didn't care about his partner's attempts to keep him. He chose to shoot directly.
Nordveit just took a long shot, now I want one too!
Bang!
The ball passed over Ter Stegen's outstretched arms and hit the goal post with a loud bang.
The ball started to turn again, Ter Stegen nervously wanted to get up and hug the ball, but there was a figure that was faster than him!
Schurrle's follow-up shot was successful!
0-2, Leverkusen expanded the score.
Ancelotti is now in a state of panic. He watches the Borussia Mönchengladbach coach start to make substitutions again, while he stands calmly on the sidelines. Forget it, let's make a substitution as well.
So the energetic Deldiyok replaced Sam who had been running for most of the game.
In the 70th minute, Hermann's shot from a small angle was blocked by Leandri, and then Reinartz cleared the ball with a long kick.
In the 77th minute, Deldiyok and Kiessling headed the ball in front of the goal, but it was directly confiscated by Ter Stegen.
Before the end of the game, in the 88th minute, Leandri finally missed.
The unconvinced Rocket's close-range shot was blocked by Leandri, but unfortunately it slipped out of his hands and Reus made the follow-up shot himself!
Bang, another powerful shot, and Monchengladbach's unyielding little rocket Reus scored a goal.
Having won the game and exchanged jerseys with the handsome boy, Leandri was in a very good mood. He took a picture of his handsome face with his mobile phone and sent it to Kroos with a message.
I'm very happy that I won the game, the only thing that makes me unhappy is that I can't see you.
Kroos, who was already sneaking on the road, sent 10 white hearts, and the wind of missing you blew to Leverkusen.
