Chapter 259: Concrete
When Leandri said this, even Iniesta looked over.
Is Real Madrid's goalkeeper so brave?
However, Xiaobai also felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Am I wrong? You often attack without any structure. Xiaobai even passed the ball to you and you still wanted to show off. You could have scored a goal with a powerful shot!"
Fortunately, Ryan is surrounded by his teammates, otherwise his words would have been interpreted by lip readers and spread all over the world.
"Let's talk about it in the locker room. The first half is over, Ryan." Iniesta, the most experienced player on the field, pulled Leandri's sleeve, then took the initiative to touch his cheek. The meaning was self-evident.
In the locker room, Bosque noticed that some players looked a little strange, and he wanted to observe Leandri before he stood up again.
"I'm sorry sir."
Bosque nodded for Leandri to continue.
"For many people sitting here, I am not experienced enough and my position is not strong enough, but I want Spain to win, I want to play well, and I still think we should be the best Spain in the world."
"Some people say that the collapse of the Spanish dynasty is due to the aging of the golden generation. This is true, but can Igor, Xavi, and Xiaobai maintain their peak form for decades? Even if they can, what will happen after decades? Why can't we become the golden second generation that leads Spain to win the trophy?"
"I also know that everyone is anxious and hopes to regain hope for Spanish fans with more inspiring performances, but we have to take it one step at a time. Our passing and controlling style of play has been figured out by others, and we are also exploring new ways forward."
“Everyone says we are going downhill, but the downhill road will eventually come to an end, and then it will all be uphill again.”
After Leandri finished speaking, he pursed his lips, and Casillas came over and patted him on the head.
"Be steady. I don't mean to disrespect the opponent, but if we have such a hard time playing against Luxembourg, then there is something wrong with us. I don't think what Ryan said is wrong."
Iniesta, who was sitting on a bench drinking water, jokingly took over the conversation, "Besides, Ryan, you have a lot of experience. You won the World Cup and the European Cup with us. You will have to lead us to win it again in the future."
Many people in the locker room were looking at the two goalkeepers. The national team is not a one-man show. The locker room of the Spanish national team has always been a battle between the Barcelona and Real Madrid factions. Even though Valdes has been eyeing the position of national goalkeeper, as he left for Manchester United and has not yet recovered from his injury, young goalkeepers such as Leandri and De Gea have sprung up, especially Leandri's performance, which can be said to be impeccable. In addition, there are some political reasons involved. All in all, as long as Leandri himself does not perform poorly in the future, Spain's future number one goalkeeper can almost be said to have waved goodbye to Valdes.
"I also want to thank you for your blessing that allowed me to score a goal in the World Cup final." Iniesta responded with a smile, wiping his sweat. He also hopes that his future national team career will be smoother.
Of course, there was also the factor that the cake master got angry when he saw the forward teacher spit out the cake.
Xiaobai has spoken, and Pique, Alba and Busquets certainly won't refute.
The Real Madrid gang and the Barcelona gang are on the same front. Juanfran and Diego Costa have no objection, and naturally no other players want to be a troublemaker.
Bosque was also quite surprised at the sudden outrageous unity in the locker room. Is this still his national team? The head coach took this opportunity to change the tactical arrangement again. The opponent is in a solid defense, so why don’t you take a few more long shots?
Others may not know, but as soon as Casillas saw the eager eyes of the defenders, he knew that Luxembourg would be in trouble in the second half.
As the second half was about to begin, Diego Costa hugged Leandri and said, "Brother, even though you just pointed at me, I have to say you are really brave."
Leandri thought to himself, I'm not pointing at you, I'm actually pointing at all of you, but he still waited for Brother Meiyan to continue. He didn't believe that Costa suddenly came up just to praise him.
"You wished Xiaobai a happy final in the 2010 World Cup, and he scored a goal? Then why don't you wish me a happy final today and show me your strength."
Leandri's face was numb. He really hated why Ramos was injured. If not, he would definitely give Costa to Shui Ye so that they could love each other.
"Be more rational and scientific, okay? What I said will work?" Leandri pointed to the sky, "I said it will rain soon, will it really come true?"
Boom!
Suddenly, there were several thunders, and the entire sky suddenly became lower, making the already not very clear sky even darker.
? ? ?
! ! !
This time it wasn't just Costa. All the Duck players who were walking near Leandri and heard the two talking looked at Leandri with horror.
This is the embodiment of Tama’s words and deeds!
Paco, who was a little unconvinced when he was criticized just now, now has nothing but sincere admiration for Leandri.
People should know themselves and not compete with supernatural phenomena.
Paco gave Leandri a very sunny smile and promised to play well in the second half and not let down the No. 9 jersey on his body.
Costa immediately hooked Leandri, "You said you were inaccurate, what was that just now, tell me that I can definitely score a goal today!"
"Fuck, I can't breathe, please let me go!" Leandri regained the right to breathe after being rescued by Carvajal.
The assistant coach of the Chinese team who was walking behind was very confused. The weather forecast didn’t say it would rain today?
Leandri walked onto the field with a red face. He was almost strangled by Diego Costa and couldn't help but suspect that this was Atletico's little trick. They must be preparing to kill the Real Madrid goalkeeper. Anyway, Costa had already done a lot of dirty work. Leandri fell into his own logical circle. Looking at Costa who was treated as a chess piece, he even felt a little sorry for this guy. You are just a chess piece. How miserable, brother.
Luxembourg had sufficient self-awareness that they were only one goal behind and it was not a big problem. They adhered to their iron bucket formation with the mentality that a small loss was a win.
After the incident in the locker room, the players began to play football patiently, with stable passing, accurate distribution and concise shots. Such a team appearance is worthy of recognition even though the situation has not been broken.
Leandri scratched his head as he looked at the goal which was impossible to score because of the opponent's iron defense.
"Gerrard, what are you doing back there, you bastard? Go forward and take a long shot, what if you score?"
Pique was defending intently when he suddenly heard someone scolding him from behind. When he was about to scold back, he heard words that made him feel refreshed.
ah? Let me go forward as a striker?
Come on, Leandro, you're not that annoying.
Pique said hello to Bartra next to him and went straight past Busquets' position, kicking the ball that suddenly came to his feet without any hesitation!
The ball headed towards the goal with great force, but because there were too many Luxembourg players in front of the goal, it still hit the calf and refracted.
Diego Costa, who was behind him, took advantage of the opportunity and shot the ball like a hungry wolf, and his follow-up shot was successful!
0-2 Spain expanded the score.
After the restart, Leandri, who had already participated in the attack, was not in a hurry to join in. He waved his hand and asked Carvajal and Alba to go up.
"Go up, go up, Bartra and I are in the defense!"
The two full-backs followed Pique's footsteps and embarked on a long-range shot. Only Bartra, who was left behind, wiped the rain off his face and tried to please Leandri with his beauty.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Shit, are you trying to act cute? You don't look cute!"
Bartra was so angry that he almost died. He kicked the ball at the feet of the Luxembourg striker who had finally attacked.
Attack, attack, attack, go back!
Leandri is satisfied. Who said that Barcelona's defenders are not useful? Look at Bartra's defense, which is tough, comprehensive and courageous. He is simply the best defender in the world!
Seeing how their own defense played such a big role in the offense, the players in the frontcourt also became more competitive.
David Silva cut inside after receiving the pass from Carvajal, and cleverly passed the ball horizontally in the face of obstruction in front of the goal. Paco in the middle easily raised his leg, and the ball hit his shoes and flew into the net.
0-3.
"The Spanish team in the second half was completely different from the first half. The mental outlook was completely different."
"In the first half, the players actually fought hard, but they looked very disorganized and too anxious. In fact, as long as they played at their own pace and played their roles, it would be easy to win. In the second half, they found the right way to play."
"Carvajal's long-range shot was saved and it was not on target."
"We saw that Leandri kept letting the defense line go up to look for long shots to score goals. In the second half, he was immersed in defense and did not go forward casually."
"Spain is very motivated right now and should have played like this a long time ago."
Bosque started making substitutions, Juanfran replaced Carvajal and Pedro replaced Silva.
Before the Atletico defender ran to the right back of the goal, Leandri waved and told him to just stay there. It's not like you don't want to move forward, so why are you coming back so deep? Aren't you tired of running back and forth?
Juanfran was not unhappy at all and even greeted Cork who was next to him.
Hi, Ryan said he doesn’t need me later. Is there anything I can help you with?
Bosque almost laughed out loud off the field. Even though such a feeling might not last long, as long as it appeared, it meant that Spain still had a chance and they would not really fall into the abyss.
The head coach took the initiative to sit next to Casillas, "Ryan is a good boy."
Cassie smiled, "Yes sir, so you can trust him a little more, he's doing a good job, isn't he?"
In the 82nd minute, Luxembourg's No. 11 found another chance to dribble into the penalty area, but Bartra was eaten alive by him with his speed.
One-on-one!
Leandri calmly walked out of the door, and the two of them got closer and closer.
The rain on the field seemed to have no effect at all. Leandri didn't show any sign of slowing down. No. 11 slowed down unconsciously when he saw Leandri's aggressive look. Which side should he hit?
Hesitated.
Leandri immediately got down to the ground and stretched his legs!
The ball that had just been shot hit Leandri's shoes and went out of the baseline.
"ha!"
Leandri stood up and couldn't help celebrating loudly.
After a corner kick, Leandri grabbed the ball and passed it directly to Juanfran who had just come on the field with full energy. The latter passed the ball to Xiaobai.
Iniesta accelerated with the ball, and the entire Spanish attack line came alive.
Costa and Pedro flew on both wings, and Paco in the front attracted the attention of all the defensive players.
Iniesta swung his right leg at a small angle and passed the ball. Costa relied on his strong body to rush through the penalty area and cut a bloody path.
0-4, Spain defeated Luxembourg.
