Chapter 201 There will be a good future
As soon as the game ended, the Merino fans cheered all day long, but the Bayer Leverkusen fans who flew to Madrid with Leverkusen felt a sense of loss. Last season's Champions League champions, after fighting for 120 minutes and going to the penalty shootout, finally lost in the quarter-finals and were unfortunately eliminated.
When Rolfes missed the penalty and lay on the ground with his face covered, Mourinho raised his arms and rushed to the field to celebrate with the players. Although he had an average relationship with many players in the locker room, who would be stingy with a hug when winning a game?
Rolfes was lying on the ground, and the other players behind him were not in good condition either. Helplessness, frustration and regret appeared on their faces one by one. They were just a little bit away, just a little bit away from overthrowing Real Madrid.
Ancelotti straightened his suit and stepped forward to comfort his disciples. In any case, the fighting spirit shown by Leverkusen today was amazing enough. In Mourinho's second year in Real Madrid, very few teams could push the Galacticos to this point.
They just had a bit of luck.
Leandri walked slowly to Rolfes, he squatted beside the captain and waited for him to relax.
"Captain, we'll come back next year."
With red eyes, Rolfes was pulled up by Leandri. He touched the little boy's head and thanked him for his hard work today. Without Leandri, they would not have survived until now.
"How are you?"
Seeing Leandri nod, Rolfes went back to comfort Big Bend, Sam and others who were still crying. He was the captain and he had to support his teammates.
"Are you okay, Ryan?" Casillas' voice came over, "Don't be discouraged, Ryan, you have worked hard, you have done what you can, next season, and the season after next, you will definitely go further."
Perhaps it was the pain of the lights from the Bernabeu on his eyelids, perhaps it was Casillas' voice was too familiar, or perhaps it was the atmosphere in the entire stadium was too gentle, Leandri didn't know why his eyes suddenly turned red, even though he had just been very responsible in trying to persuade Rolfes.
Casillas walked over quickly and hugged the other's head. This brat was someone he had practiced with and grown up with since childhood, and now in the blink of an eye he was taller than him. When he felt warm tears slowly on his neck, Cassie was sure that Leandri was really crying, and the shaking of his body further proved it.
In fact, Casillas shouldn't be like this. He is the captain of Real Madrid and the leader in the locker room. He should be with everyone at the moment of promotion, but now he is quietly standing near the penalty spot with the opponent's young goalkeeper, comforting him in a gentle voice.
No matter how reliable Leandri is on the field, he is just a 22-year-old young player. How many goalkeepers are still struggling for a starting position at the age of 22, but he has to carry the defensive pressure of a team to compete with the European powers. Casillas thought of his past self. They are so similar. At this moment, the Real Madrid captain really feels sorry for him.
Not many people have seen Leandri cry. He didn't shed a single tear when he tore his ligaments at Camp Nou. Today, he finally showed his most vulnerable side in the arms of his predecessor.
Casillas felt like he was about to cry, the camera was always facing this side, Casillas's big hand was placed on Leandri's face to block the lens from capturing his tears. Florentino in the stands was also moved and his eyes were red when he saw his son like this.
"It's okay, Ryan, you will become stronger." Casillas stroked his curly hair over and over again, feeling that he lacked words and didn't know how to comfort the fragile little boy in his arms.
The careful Alonso also noticed this and quickly came over to hug Leandri.
"Leandri, ah, Leandri looks like he's crying."
"He is still young and has a strong desire to win. He has fought so hard until now. Leandri must feel bad for losing to the Bernabeu today. But Leandri has done everything he can today. From regular time to overtime, he made so many terrifying saves, and then in the penalty shootout. The star power of the two teams was completely different. The 22-year-old Leandri saved two penalties and kept out the shots of Kaka and Alonso. He was wrestling with the now recognized world No. 1 goalkeeper. We can't ask this young goalkeeper to do more."
"In fact, judging from the two knockout matches between Leverkusen and Real Madrid, Leandri must have been the most dazzling presence on the field. In both home and away games, Leandri not only did a good job of defense but also scored a goal and assisted. Such offensive efficiency is also very terrifying on the front line."
"There is no such thing as a coward in a penalty shootout. Leandri's persistence until now has shown us his character. We have reason to believe that he will become the best goalkeeper sooner or later, and we can even assert that he is on the right path."
"He was even holding back his emotions as he went to comfort Rolfes until Casillas came over. When we saw Casillas hugging and comforting him, we remembered that Leandri was still young enough to be a goalkeeper."
"Wow, the relationship between the two is really good. I feel that Casillas is not in a good mood. There is no joy on his face. I feel so distressed that his eyes are red."
"The president of Real Madrid has been watching this place. This is his child. Although he didn't win the game, his child makes him so proud."
"Applause gradually rose in the Bernabeu. This was for the little prince of La Fabrica in the past. How much the strict Melcos loved him."
After being kissed on the neck several times by Shui Ye, Leandri finally recovered and with red eyes he scolded Ramos for being so annoying.
Seeing that the young goalkeeper's mood was finally recovering, Alonso patted his butt and let him go back to Leverkusen. After all, that was where Leandri should go now.
When Leandri came over, Schwab was still crying while hugging Ancelotti. Fatty Ancelotti patted the other's tall and strong body and tried to coax the child. The Germans have never been able to resist the sweet words of the Italians. The young defender was coaxed, and then Sam took over.
Leandri felt a little uncomfortable again, but his image in the locker room was that of a tough guy. He chose to get close to Ancelotti and take a chocolate bar from his suit pocket to vent his anger.
Ancelotti was about to curse, but when he saw Leandri's red eyes, he couldn't say anything. "Here you go, I'll secretly bring some in a few days." Then he released the hand that was holding Sam and patted the little goalkeeper's head.
Although the defending champion Leverkusen was eliminated in the round of 16, no one can say that they were too bad. Many teams are even secretly happy in their hearts. The two teams fought so hard and they are finally out of energy in the league.
After hugging Maria, his elder brother, second brother, and sister who came to watch the game, Leandri returned to Germany with the club. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Kroos waiting for him at his home.
"Tony..."
Cross walked up to him and hugged him, pulled him to sit on the sofa to rest, and kissed Leandri's lips without any desire.
Bayern defeated their Champions League knockout opponent at home. As soon as the game ended, Kroos saw the news that Leandri shed tears at the Bernabeu and Bayer Leverkusen was unfortunately eliminated. He hurriedly asked for leave from Heynckes and ran home to wait.
"I actually cried in public."
"It's okay," Cross hugged Leandri, "You are strong, but you can also show your vulnerable side, because I will always be by your side. No matter what kind of you you are, you still attract me as always."
"Do you want to cry? Or do you want to scream out loud? It's all right Ryan. Let's do it together. I'll be with you."
The young couple had a rare warm night, the two of them hugged each other. In the dark night, Leandri licked his wounds in Cross's arms, trying to make them heal and scar, and then make himself stronger.
The next morning, Leandri sent Kroos away. Leverkusen and Bayern now have to focus on the league, especially Bayern, which is now ranked third and is fighting on three fronts. It also has to distract itself from the German Cup and strive to sprint for the Champions League. The pressure is so great that it is beyond words.
This year's Champions League final will be held at the Allianz Arena. The Southern King dreams of lifting the Big Ear Cup at home and putting it in the Hall of Fame.
After reviewing the game, Leverkusen put all their energy into the goal of defending the league title. They were eliminated by Dortmund in the second round of the German Cup and just lost at the Bernabeu. Now everyone in the club and the fans are thinking about winning another championship, especially now that they are 5 points ahead of second-placed Dortmund.
Ancelotti saw that the young goalkeeper was finally in the mood to come over and snatch his food openly, and he finally felt that the world had become a little normal. But he was furious to see the news in the newspaper "Ancelotti lost weight due to failure". I lost weight because of my self-discipline, Leandri's strict supervision, and those bags of dark chocolate that controlled my appetite!
What does this have to do with Real Madrid! What does losing have to do with it!
The angry Ancelotti did not let the tired players have more rest in the 25th round of the Bundesliga. He put all the main players at Wolfsburg's home court and finally won the game 2-0.
On March 17, Leverkusen faced Borussia Mönchengladbach. Although Hanke and Reus fired at the goal, Leandri still guarded the goal. The defeat in the Champions League made him more stable, and he would no longer easily relax his attention on any opponent.
Ignoring Ronaldo's shot has always been bothering him.
But despite Leandri's tight defense of the goal, the frontcourt failed to bear fruit in today's game, and the two sides shook hands in a 0-0 draw. The young Rocket thought that the headband on Leandri's head looked good, and the goalkeeper of the Russian Federation immediately decided to give him a new one. The friendship between the two young men suddenly flourished, and Reus also invited him to get a perm together if they had the chance, as he wanted to dye his hair white.
Leandri didn't want to be included in the list of football men's ugly hairstyles in the future, so he shook his hand and refused.
But it seemed that his son Xiao Kuan had also said before that he wanted to dye his hair into a milk cap. Leandri thought about it and decided that he could only spoil him in the future.
After playing against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Leverkusen played against Schalke 04 again. As soon as Raul saw Leandri, he rubbed the young goalkeeper's head hard. His junior has really grown up and is almost becoming a towering tree.
Leandri was also very moved to see his good brother. He chose to use 7 effective saves to put the brakes on Raul's journey to score +1 in the Bundesliga. With Kiessling's goal, Leverkusen beat Schalke 04 0-1 away.
In the next three rounds, Leverkusen won one after another, and a wave of four consecutive victories caused the entire Bundesliga to exclaim. The most important thing is that Leandri has kept eight clean sheets in the league.
The next round opponent is Hertha Berlin, and Leverkusen continued to win with ease. Leandri was bored and blew a bottle of sports drink in the back.
In the 32nd round, Leandri continued to drink sports drinks in front of the goal. He smacked his lips and suddenly wanted to drink Wanglaoji.
In the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, Leandri beat Hannover 96 1-0 at home and announced the defense of the Bundesliga championship one round in advance!
In the 34th round, Ancelotti, with a calm mind, waved his hand and let a group of young players from youth training go on, but Leandri was still in front of the goal.
The handsome young man tried hard to act like a good senior and a good brother, from the beginning, "It's okay, it's normal for young people to make mistakes" to "Pay attention to your position" and finally to "xxx, you keep an eye on him, or I will drag you to practice with me until dark next season!"
At the end of the game, although the youth training kid won, he didn't dare to look at the goalkeeper at all, and Leandri's zero-blocking streak finally came to an end.
1-2, in the last round of the 11/12 Bundesliga season, champion Leverkusen won a narrow victory over Nuremberg away!
Leverkusen fans shed tears again. They have never had such good days. They have won the championship every season since Leandri came!
On the parade bus, Leandri skillfully threw down the napkin and told the fans loudly,
"Leverkusen will have a very good future!"
