Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Change jersey?
At the end of April, Castilla captain Jordi Godiana returned to the team after recovering from injury, which was originally a good thing, but Michel began to get irritated. He was in a goalkeeper crisis again, and even a starting crisis.
Players such as Adán, Mata, Granero, Bueno and others received notice to train in May to prepare for the U19 European Youth Championship. Another goalkeeper in the team, Leandri, will also report to the U17. Castilla's current combat effectiveness has suddenly dropped. He could only look for substitutes to play and could not ask for players from below, because Nacho, Carvajal and others who performed relatively well in the C team also followed Leandri to the U17.
Michelle's originally sweet troubles were now tearfully stripped of adjectives.
This year is the World Cup year, so all other competitions have to give way to it. The U17 and U19 competitions are scheduled to be held in late May or early June.
The success of Real Madrid's youth training can be seen from the number of players from different echelons selected for the national team.
The two Spanish teams are training at the same base.
As soon as he got out of the car, Leandri ran into Pique and Barriente from Barcelona B team walking towards the door. Ever since Pique was spotted by Sir Alex Ferguson and taken to Manchester in 2004, Leandri has rarely seen him. But after all, they had fought on the court, so when they met, they would definitely snort at each other to show their friendship.
Barriente took two steps forward, trying to bump Ryan and the others with his shoulder to act cool, but was stopped. Pique looked him up and down, "Perez, you shorty."
Grass really is a plant. Leandri is now 185cm tall, which is a very good height for a 16-year-old goalkeeper. But the premise is not to compare with Pique, who is already 194cm tall now!
This was the first time that Leandri was embarrassed in front of Pique. Before he could say anything, his good brothers had already helped him to fight back.
"La Masia, what are you talking about? Ryan can still grow taller!"
"Ryan is not like you who has stopped growing. He can still grow taller."
"Do you want to fight?"
Pique looked at the three people who stood up for Leandri and said sarcastically, "A bunch of dwarfs. There are only dwarfs and dwarfs in Madrid."
"Do you have a dot on your head to look taller?" The simple foreigner from Barcelona heard this kind of indirect curse without any swear words for the first time and was unable to react for a while.
Awesome!
Their small group of defenders hang out together every day, usually playing and fighting with Ryan. Sometimes when Ryan gets angry, he starts saying things that they don't understand at first but think are super cool afterwards. Now they all spit out Ryan's quotes.
Vasquez: God rained a rain of brains, and you were the only one walking through it with an umbrella.
Carvajal: Let’s go eat fish together sometime.
Pique hadn't yet reacted to why the small group of Real Madrid players who didn't get along with him suddenly asked him out for fish. The relatively shy Nacho spoke up to comfort the irritated Leandri.
"Lian, don't pay too much attention to what someone here says. He has a mouth, but not necessarily a brain!"
Pique could understand this sentence, and he was so angry that he wanted to fight. Anyway, the two groups were used to fighting, and whoever lost would be embarrassed, so they would not do anything like suing the parents or finding the coach.
Before Adam even entered the door, he saw them about to fight again, and hurried over to stop them.
Seeing that Real Madrid had another player named Adam, Pique became even angrier, "You're still calling for help? There are already four of you!"
"Where's Cesc?" Leandri just realized that he didn't see Fabregas, who usually sticks to Pique, around him today.
Pique looked proud. "Cesc was selected for the national team in March and played a friendly match with Cote d'Ivoire. Didn't you see it?"
Leandri was speechless when he saw Pique's face. He said, "You are not my friend, and it's not you who was selected for the national team. Why are you so excited?"
The security guard at the door had been watching for a long time. When he saw that the two men didn't fight, he sighed that there was no more fun to watch and yelled, "You little devils are blocking the way! Are you going in or not?"
A few people grabbed their luggage and entered the base dejectedly.
During the meal, Leandri learned from other teammates how good the relationship between Fabregas and Pique is. Pique drives from Manchester to London every week to cook for Fabregas who misses home.
A shocked expression was fixed on Leandri's face. Even though he had always managed his image well, he couldn't control it. Isn't that the Kongtong of the football world? Should I remind them? How could Cesc be so blind to be taken away by Pique? Pique you are such a bastard!
But Leandri prayed silently for the two of them in his heart. No matter what, they had a relationship where they had to fight twice every season. He wished them a long and happy life. He didn't know if Pique's cooking was edible?
Seeing his friend's expression, Nacho knew that Leandri was having a lot of drama in his mind again. He touched his drink cup to his, "Isn't this normal? Good friends will be like this. If one day we are not in the same team, I can come over and cook for you."
Vazquez and Carvajal were horrified, thinking that Nacho was going to be best friends with Leandri behind their backs, and they hurriedly followed, "We can do that too!"
Leandri: …
duck is not comparable.
In order to avoid major events such as the World Cup and the European Cup, this year is the last European Youth Championship to be held in an even-numbered year.
In the two stages, Leandri played all the games as the number one goalkeeper and Spain entered the finals as scheduled.
In the final stage, the Spanish team defeated Hungary 2-0.
The score doesn't reveal much, but the process was still dangerous. If it weren't for the goal post and the door frame being Leandri's good teammates, Hungary might have equalized the score long ago!
After the match against Hungary, we had three days of rest and adjustment before facing the strong Czech team.
Leandri's blocking from both sides did not allow the team to go any further.
Having just intercepted the opponent's long shot, Leandri held the ball in one hand and pointed at Vasquez on the field with the other hand, "Focus! Don't be distracted!"
Just now, Vazquez didn't have time to get into the defensive state, and the Czech team seized the opportunity to break through him. If Nacho hadn't quickly filled in and blocked the opponent's shooting angle, Leandri would not have been able to grab the ball.
But the good times did not last long. The Czech team launched wave after wave of attacks. The Spanish defenders were exhausted from coping. The back line was unable to stop them, and the offense was even more impossible to launch.
Seeing the white waves caused by the football falling into the net again, Leandri punched the ground hard.
He also made a mistake on this ball. Facing the opponent's forward's shot, although Leandri judged the direction correctly, the force at close range caused the ball to slip out of his hands. The Czech player saw the opportunity and immediately made another shot.
This is already the 78th minute, and even with the extra time, there are only about fifteen minutes left to the end of the game.
On the sidelines, Maria, the mother, looked at Spain, which was already lagging behind, and her frustrated little son, with a worried look on her face, "Does Ryan still have a chance to win?"
The second son, Eduardo, comforted his mother, "Last year, Liverpool was able to perform the Istanbul Miracle even though they were three goals behind."
Maria rolled her eyes.
The reason why miracles are praised by people is that they rarely occur and the reversals are exciting enough. The game then turned into a crazy counterattack by Spain, but unfortunately the anxious forwards either missed their shots or the balls went wide of the goal. Several of them were held tightly in the arms of the Czech goalkeeper who made miraculous saves. Spain ultimately stopped there.
Unlike the U19 team who made it to the finals and won the championship easily, the U17 team will soon meet the German team, which also lost, to decide the third place.
"Whoa, who do we see?"
"We haven't seen Florentino in public for a long time. He is surrounded by his family and his assistant Manuel."
"He should be here to watch his youngest son's game. As we all know, the No. 1 goalkeeper of this team is fp's son. I wonder if his performance can satisfy Perez, who just resigned from Real Madrid due to public outrage."
The commentators saw Florentino on the sidelines through the camera. This big shot who stirred up the football world could still murder the reporters' films even if he left temporarily.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Germany's first attack posed a danger to Leandri.
Their attacking midfielder suddenly moved forward and the wingers also started at the same time. The Spanish defense found the right positions to block the defense in order to avoid having their defensive space torn apart by the passing of the two players.
Even though Nacho was already close to him, the winger still reached out for the ball. At this moment, the attacking midfielder who was advancing with the ball suddenly shot from two or three meters in front of the top of the arc.
Long shot!
Fortunately, Leandri was well prepared. Facing the incoming ball, he jumped up on the spot and blocked the ball out of the goal with both hands.
Germany's corner kick was directly caught by Leandri.
In the last minutes of the first half, the German team finally broke the deadlock!
It’s still the attacking midfielder.
The German team intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it forward immediately. The defensive midfielder received the ball and made another straight pass without stopping.
The attacking midfielder dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and everyone was ready to go. Leandri kept his eyes fixed on his swinging calves.
He had already arrived at the penalty spot, and after attracting the attention of the entire audience, he made a fake move that looked like a pass or a shot.
Everyone thought that he would definitely shoot the ball himself in that position, but he ended up faking a shot and then passing the ball. Suddenly, a striker appeared from behind to receive the ball and, while everyone's attention was drawn, he kicked the ball with a powerful kick.
Germany leads 1-0.
In the second half, the young striker of the German team was too sticky to the ball and was successfully intercepted by Nacho.
Nacho quickly launched a counterattack, and the Spanish players expanded their attack line. At this time, there were only two defenders in the German half.
Carvajal received the ball from Nacho on the flank and took the ball forward without hesitation. He made several one-two passes with the Spanish player who came up to receive the ball, and then faced the goalkeeper after passing the defender.
At this time, Carvajal showed a footwork that was not consistent with his position. Facing the goalkeeper who was attacking, Carvajal kicked the ball!
The football was hoisted into the net over the opponent's goalkeeper's head.
1-1 draw, both sides are back to the starting point.
In the regular season, the two teams fought back and forth but could not break the deadlock. In the penalty shootout, Spain won the third place of the European U17 Championship 3-2.
After hugging and celebrating with his family on the sidelines, Leandri saw a slightly depressed young man on the other side and decided to go over and get to know him. He was the biggest threat to the Spanish team today.
"Hello, can we exchange jerseys?" Leandri stood behind him. This was the first time he exchanged jerseys with someone.
The young man with the name KROOS printed on his jersey turned around and looked harmless, as if he hadn't frequently caused trouble for Ryandelli on the field and had not also scored a goal for Ryan in the penalty shootout.
"I'm sorry, my brother asked me for this jersey before the game." The acne-faced young man refused without any burden.
