Chapter 190 Save
[Why is this black? How can this strength be so dark? ! ]
[Awesome! Leandri’s shot-saving ability is becoming more and more mature. ]
Can we hope that the young goalkeeper will bring the Ballon d'Or back to the BayArena this year for us to see? ]
[Brother, you said it’s wishful thinking. It’s difficult for a goalkeeper to win the Golden Ball. ]
[But this year is not a major tournament year, and Ryan Deli helped us win the first league and Champions League title in team history last season, and was the best player in the Champions League final. Isn’t this performance dominant enough? ]
[That’s enough, but he is a goalkeeper. It is very difficult for a defensive player to win the Ballon d’Or. Moreover, the Ballon d’Or also requires the club and the national team to operate. Our Leverkusen is really a small team. ]
[No, I have a brother who is seriously ill. Before he dies, he wants to see the sweet little goalkeeper become the best in the world! ]
The game on the field continues.
In the 30th minute, Sturridge received a pass from the backcourt on the right and broke away from Bend to launch an attack on the wing.
Facing the blocking Kadlec, Sturridge shook his ankle, pulled the ball sideways to pass the Bayer Leverkusen full-back, and then kicked the ball!
Leandri easily picked the ball off in front of the goal.
Sturridge did not show too much anger when he saw the ball was confiscated by Leandri again. The Blues' iron-blooded and toughness have long been integrated into their blood.
They believe that you, Ryan, can grow three heads and six arms and become a wall in front of the goal, but as long as you make a mistake once, Chelsea will definitely seize the opportunity.
This is the inevitable difference between frontcourt and backcourt players. Mistakes in the frontcourt allow players to constantly look for opportunities to win, while mistakes in the backcourt will put them on the pillar of shame and make it difficult for them to recover.
In the 35th minute, Leverkusen began to exert its strength. Leandri confiscated Juan Mata's shot and launched a quick attack. He kicked the ball directly to Ballack who was cruising in the middle and front court. Ballack avoided the pressing of Chelsea defenders and tore a hole in the defense line with a push of his instep.
Ballack made a diagonal pass to the left, and Kiessling successfully made an offside!
Immediately after speeding up on the wing, Kiessling saw Cech leaving the goal and quickly raised his leg to send a lob shot, but unfortunately the ball was too high and hit the goal frame and fell on the grass, where it was cleared by Terry who arrived.
In the 40th minute, Sam dribbled the ball into the Chelsea penalty area and shot the ball before anyone could react. Cech reacted very quickly, flew to the side to press the ball and then immediately launched a counterattack.
David Luiz passed the ball to the midfield. Lampard received the ball and started digging in the middle. The cooperation of Rolfes and Oberbender still allowed the genie to break through the defense line.
Faced with his teammates waving at him and the Bayer Leverkusen defense who were facing a formidable enemy, Lampard did not hesitate and fired another powerful shot in front of the goal!
Leandri never dared to relax, his eyes watching Lampard's every subtle movement, and he almost dived to the left at the moment the opponent kicked the ball.
The ball was so powerful and heavy that Leandri couldn't catch it and barely managed to push it out of the baseline.
Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.
Seeing the opponent put the ball in the most comfortable position in the corner area, Leandri carefully pulled his teammates to stand carefully, as if he was taking great pains to keep an eye on a group of restless children.
Bang!
The ball flew up, but Chelsea didn't take a direct shot from this corner kick. The player who took the penalty passed the ball directly to Ivanovic at a far point. The latter gently rubbed the ball with his head, and the ball obediently flew to David Luiz in the small penalty area.
Because Rolfes was always interfering with David Luiz, the afro failed to hit the ball. The ball brushed against his afro without changing direction, but Drogba seized the opportunity.
The Warcraft kicked the ball in the penalty area, swung his powerful thigh and volleyed it!
Ryan Deli moved directly!
"Look at this ball, is it a cooperation from the back?"
"Ivanovic, head the ball to David Luiz, Rolfes did a great job defending, it's dangerous!"
"Beautiful! Leandri is blocking it directly with his body."
"I feel that Leandri's habit is really brought up by Casillas. He dares to dive for any ball."
"That should be the case. In fact, many fans know that these two goalkeepers from Real Madrid have a very good relationship. Casillas has been with him since he was a child. The Real Madrid captain has always dared to catch the ball with his hands no matter how fast or fierce your ball is. Leandri is better than his master. If you shoot hard from close range, he will block it with his body."
"You see, the youngster doesn't have enough experience. He got the ball, but now he's rubbing his chest with a grimace."
"Hahaha, but what Ryan Deli lacks now is experience. He has only played in the first team for a little over three years. Fans should be less demanding and have more expectations of him."
"In fact, if you look at Leandri's growth trajectory and performance on the field, he is already one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. He still has plenty of time to become the best goalkeeper. He has enough opportunities to take over from Casillas in the national team and have countless star-studded platforms to compete with Neuer, De Gea and others for the best goalkeeper of the new generation."
On the other side, Abramovich was really tempted. He didn't care that Boas was frowning and thinking in the command seat. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Boas.
Do you need to buy Leandri?
When Villas-Boas returned to the locker room and turned on his mobile phone, he looked at the message from his boss in silence. Is this a question for the head coach? You didn't even add a question mark. Is it because you sent too many messages to Mourinho before? !
Old man, I haven't even secured the position of head coach yet, so who would care about your transfers during the winter and summer breaks? Besides, if the goalkeeper on the opposite side really wants to transfer, he would want to go to Real Madrid. At worst, he would go to Ferguson who has been pursuing him for many years!
So Boas just replied with a thank you, boss, and left it alone.
The two sides changed sides in the second half.
In the 51st minute, Sturridge received a pass from the midfield and dribbled the ball to the wing. After completely restraining Kadlec, Sturridge began to cut inside.
Drogba in the middle was ready to respond at any time, but he was entangled by Leverkusen's two central defenders.
Sturridge had no choice as Kadlec blocked his position and Big Bend was about to come back to assist in defense. In desperation, the handsome British boy hurriedly kicked the ball into the middle.
Drogba was about to receive the ball when Leandri rushed out.
The Chinese goalkeeper used his powerful jumping and air-staying abilities to snatch the ball from Drogba's head.
I don't know how Leverkusen fans felt when they saw this save, but Ancelotti was laughing beside them, even happier than when he succeeded in secretly scoring the goal under Leandri's nose.
[I am so funny! Drogba closed his eyes and headed towards the goal but it hit the air.] ]
[Hahaha, when the Beast landed, he looked at the ball in Leandri's hand with a confused look on his face. ]
[These two men are almost the same height, but Leandri's jumping height is so outrageous that he can directly steal the ball from Drogba's head. How come his physical fitness looks fake! ]
In the 60th minute, as neither side had been able to break free and the score was still 0-0, both head coaches decided to take a gamble. They all replaced the forwards.
On the Chelsea side, Leandri's national team teammate Torres got a chance to play, and Ancelotti also replaced Ballack with Morientes and moved Rolfes forward.
In the 72nd minute, Spanish golden boy Torres' shot in front of the goal was easily confiscated by Leandri.
In the 79th minute, Cech calmly dealt with Morientes' header, but it missed the post. The big center forward of the Russian Federation smiled embarrassedly at Kiessling who came on to play on the left because of him.
In the 85th minute, Leandri once again made a god-level save. Lampard's long-range shot was blocked by Leandri and slipped out of his hands. Juan Mata immediately made a follow-up shot, but Leandri, who reacted quickly, quickly took it off and pinned it to the ground, leaving no other chance for the opponent.
In the 89th minute, Leverkusen, eager to win, brought down Juan Mata and the referee awarded a direct free kick.
Lampard stood in front of the football, but still fired a cannon. Leandri didn't move at all, and watched calmly as the ball moved away from his protection range.
In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Chelsea did not show any sign of giving up. Terry snatched the ball from Morientes and kicked the ball on the spot.
Ramirez also made a big move and sent the ball to Sturridge again.
The advance time was just right, and Sturridge was overjoyed when he saw Ryandley's position.
Originally, Leverkusen was launching an attack, and the entire back line was advancing collectively. Even Leandri was ready to see if there was a chance to make a save at the last moment. At this time, his position had already left the penalty area.
Seeing this, Sturridge easily kicked the ball before Kadlec and substitute Reinartz could chase back.
Lob shot!
Leandri's heart sank and he immediately chased after him.
"Sturridge lobs the ball from the wing! It's an empty goal. Can Leandri catch up?"
"The roar of the Blues fans was deafening, and Leandri was still chasing, he was really fast."
"Beautiful, Leandri! Leandri! Leandri killed Chelsea's chance of a last-gasp goal!"
Amid the commentator's incredible exclamation, the voices of Chelsea fans disappeared instantly, and the Leverkusen home fans raised their hands that were originally covering their mouths above their heads at the first moment.
The poles have reversed, and now it's the Bayer fans who are cheering wildly.
After taking a look at the approximate trajectory of the ball, Leandri chased back at high speed, his long legs stepping on his toes one step at a time. In the pursuit of the camera, his legs almost left afterimages.
The ball was right in front of him and was about to fly into the net. In a hurry, Leandri pushed the ground with his left foot, turned his upper body sideways to let his waist and abdomen gradually keep level with the grass, and hooked his right foot fiercely!
Sideways inverted hook!
It was still a hook save!
The ball flew back into the air, and this time Friedrich got to the ball first and kicked it out of the field. The referee then blew the whistle to end the game.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Leverkusen drew with Chelsea at home.
After the game, Leandri and Cech were photographed by many media outlets exchanging jerseys and chatting on the sidelines.
Now the qualifying situation of their group is still unclear. Except for Genk, the other three teams have the possibility of advancing to the knockout stage. In the last match within the group, Leverkusen will challenge Genk away, while Chelsea will wait for Valencia to arrive at home.
