Chapter 193: The old Buddha is invincible...
Leverkusen's next game is the Champions League quarter-finals, and the opponent is also an old acquaintance of Leandri.
real Madrid.
Leverkusen is a champion team, but after the end of last season they lost two midfield stalwarts, Vidal and Kroos. This year Friedrich's performance is no longer stable. The team's midfield connection is not smooth enough, resulting in a significant decline in overall strength. In addition, they were placed in the death group and only finished second in the group. But Leverkusen's foundation for winning the championship is still there. There is no problem with the forward line. Schwab and Reinartz are both growing slowly on the defensive line. This season, young Carvajal was introduced to the right-back position. Although Joel Luca, who came during the winter break, cannot participate in the Champions League, it can be said that Leverkusen is the toughest team in the second place in the group.
Before the winter break, all the group winners were nervous, fearing that they would be the lucky one. In the end, Mourinho took the responsibility with a gloomy face in his windbreaker.
But in fact, Mourinho was not that sad. He had already prepared himself mentally. Before the draw, he estimated that Real Madrid would face either Leverkusen or AC Milan in the quarter-finals. At worst, they would fly to snowy Russia to play against CSKA Moscow. Anyway, the Magic Birds never thought that they would be lucky enough to meet Basel or the like.
As soon as the draw results came out, Mourinho recovered and smiled and congratulated Barcelona on defeating Swiss opponents Basel and advancing to the quarterfinals.
Anyway, it is Leverkusen and Real Madrid who are looking miserable now, but the whole of Europe is waiting for this match like a spectator.
This is a real father-son game!
Leandri is almost holding a computer to study video tapes. He wants to review Ronaldo's shooting preferences, Benzema's running habits, Alonso's passing routes in the next few days, and he even wants to study the timing of Real Madrid's defenders' forward runs. It’s not that the club is not prepared, it’s just that Leandri often prefers his own database.
Xiao Kuan is considerate of her boyfriend's current situation. Every time he calls her on video, she stays on the call and quietly watches her boyfriend wearing plain glasses and headphones, watching various videos while writing and drawing in his hands, and then falls asleep unknowingly.
In the first leg of the quarter-finals, Leverkusen waited for Real Madrid to arrive at home. Leandri looked calm, but Schwab, Reinartz and the young players promoted from the youth team wanted to ask for autographs from the star-studded Galacticos such as Ronaldo and Kakakasi. Apart from that, David was quite excited for some reason.
When the warm-up was over, the whole Leverkusen team saw the Real Madrid bosses running to their goalkeeper one by one, touching his head, rubbing his hair, and being very intimate. They also saw Casillas even helping Leandri to tidy up his gloves, and Xabi Alonso came over to hug the little goalkeeper and gave him a kiss.
It was not until they saw the president of Real Madrid sitting in the guest seats that everyone realized that they had forgotten about it because they were playing around, but Leandri is the real prince of Real Madrid, a top rich second generation!
They also saw Zidane in the player tunnel. The next second, their eyes almost fell out, because Leandri was touching Zidane's bald head and muttering, "Give me strength."
Only Carvajal and Morientes did not react much. They have seen such scenes too many times.
"Where's Sese?"
"He failed the previous exam, and now he's avoiding you." Cassie immediately sold out his good brother, "Don't scold him too harshly later, Sese is actually having a hard time too."
Leandri was about to speak when he saw Mourinho passing by. He had no intention of speaking to or greeting the Real Madrid captain, and Casillas had the same expression.
"Go back quickly, we'll see you on the court." Not wanting to cause trouble for his good brother, Leandri left immediately, and caught David who was still in an excited state on the way.
"What are you doing?"
"I met Kaka, he is more mature than he already looks, these few years at Real Madrid have given him an extra layer of charm."
Leandri looked at the back of the Brazilian Saint for a long time, but he didn't smell any special smell.
"Ryan, Kaka is my crush, he is the best looking person in my heart."
Leandri savored this sentence and came to a conclusion that he didn't know whether it was true or not, "You have a crush on him?"
David covered his mouth with his hand, "What are you talking about? I just think Kaka is really beautiful. Don't be upset. I think he is more beautiful than you."
Leandri didn't care who looked better. He pushed everyone back to the locker room to make final preparations. "If we win today, I'll buy you a Kaka jersey, okay?"
The changes that Mourinho has made to Real Madrid this season have already shown their completeness. Although the Magic Bird is keen on defense, he has also made Real Madrid's attack line stronger, with more points in the frontcourt, and the offensive abilities of Ramos and others in the backcourt have also been developed.
Ancelotti and the goalkeeper coach were still a little worried about the team until the last minute of the game. They repeatedly emphasized to everyone and asked Leandri to defend the bottom line as much as possible today.
Ancelotti suddenly remembered that he had heard that Leandri was very good at giving encouragement before the game, and he wanted to see it today.
The goalkeeper of the Chinese Brasilia Cup was probably used to it, and he stepped on the table in the middle of the locker room without any hesitation.
"Good brothers, do you know who is on the other side?"
"It is Real Madrid, which won nine Champions League titles, the greatest team of the 20th century, the best club in Europe of the 20th century, and the home team of Daniel, Fernando and me. Everyone says that Real Madrid is the best team in the world."
The more Ancelotti listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why are you trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? If you didn't know the last sentence, you might surrender to the enemy in the next second!
“I still love it there, I grew up there.”
It was over. Ancelotti wanted to slap himself twice. He regretted why he let Leandri speak at that time. The young goalkeeper now looked like he was not only going to surrender to the enemy but also wanted to drag the whole team into rebellion.
"But everyone should know what I experienced there. The former chairman forced me to sell it regardless of my personal wishes."
Oh my poor Ryan.
"I was very happy during my time at Leverkusen. I met so many great people. We worked together and supported each other, and we won the team's first German Cup, first salad bowl and even the first Champions League."
"We are successful, so why can't we compete with Real Madrid?"
"In my mind, Schurrle and Sam are as good as Ronaldo, Kiessling, Deldiyok and Morientes are no worse than Benzema. Our midfield is tenacious, and our defense is as aggressive as the opponent. We have hope of winning, so we should give it a try."
"Mourinho is a champion coach, the most special one, isn't Carlo the same?"
"Real Madrid fans are the best and most discerning fans. Aren't the fans from Leverkusen who follow us all over the country also excellent?"
"We want to give the most impeccable performance and let the Melinger applause for us."
"I want to win, I want to beat Real Madrid, I want to win this game in front of my father and seniors!" Leandri expressed his long-buried thoughts in front of everyone.
"I want to conquer Madrid's opponents with everyone. We can beat Barcelona four times, and we can definitely beat the Galacticos today!"
Leandri raised his fists high, "We are now the most energetic, the most enterprising and the least conservative. Leverkusen has entrusted us with the historical responsibility, and we have lived up to everyone's trust. From awakening, exploration to chasing dreams, our team is constantly moving forward. We are the helmsman and we are the rowers!"
"When the players thrive, the team thrives; when the players are strong, the team is strong. Every player and coach here has a strong sense of responsibility and mission, and they are brave enough to take on the responsibility and fight hard on the field. We have become the No. 1 in Europe, so we can stand on that podium for the second time."
“Heroes are revealed in times of crisis. If we defeat the best, we will become the best!”
“Ohhhhhhhh!”
Seeing the locker room full of wolf howling, Ancelotti couldn't help but sigh that Leandri's move of suppressing first and then praising was really good. He even wanted to take off his suit jacket, put on his jersey and go up to fight Real Madrid himself.
"If we defeat Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen will win!"
"If we defeat Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen will win!"
The whole team roared and opened the door of the locker room. Leandri looked solemn. He really loved his home team, but he also knew that preparing seriously and giving a hearty performance would be the best reward for Real Madrid's training of him.
Anyway, Casillas was about to greet Leandri with a big smile when he saw the little guy acted like he was coming with a heavy force and ignored him.
"Ryan, today I will make you feel the feeling of failure again." Ramos was ready for revenge. As soon as he returned to the national team, he was forced to learn from Ryan. Today, he must make the other party feel his anger.
But Leandri didn't say anything. Before going on the court, he glanced in the direction of Florentino from a distance, and then entered the game with a tense expression.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
"Looking at Leandri like this, he is ready to face Real Madrid in his best condition."
"Real Madrid is Leandri's home team. Whenever we meet on the field, he will definitely want to show his former club how good his performance is."
"And his dad is still on the sidelines."
"I don't know what the Real Madrid president's mentality is right now."
"You're worried about him? He should be the one with the best mentality in the whole game. He will be happy as the president if Real Madrid wins. He will also be happy as Leandri's father if Bayer Leverkusen wins. What do you call this? Florentino will always be invincible!"
The neutral commentators and fans were watching the rare game between father and son while eating melon seeds.
