Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Spoils of War
When they saw Bojan's penalty kick pushed into the net, all the Spanish players rushed over. Nacho and Vazquez and Carvajal who were sitting on the bench ran straight to Leandri.
Excessive excitement and all kinds of praise in his ears have made Leandri dizzy. They won the championship!
This is Leandri's first major championship and the first time Spain has won the World Youth Championship trophy.
After celebrating with his teammates, Leandri pushed aside his friends and went to find Mr. Lacazette and Maria.
Even though Ryan is already 17 years old, Maria is still a good kid. She holds the kid's face and kisses him excitedly, making his pretty face pout. "Our Ryan is so amazing. I knew you could do it!"
The smile on Mr. Lagerfeld's face never fell, as if his own hard-working child was jumping up to him in front of everyone with the admission letter from the best university.
Not minding his son's sweaty body, the old man started to rub Ryan's curly hair, "Ryan, you are our pride."
Florentino watched from the sidelines as Leandri was in his best form from the start of the game, making high dives to block the opponent's threats. When defending set pieces, he steadily directed his teammates' positioning and defensive focus. His not-so-broad shoulders made him look particularly reliable.
In the penalty shootout, despite being behind by two goals, they still withstood all the pressure and saved the opponent's two penalties, which gave Spain a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Hugging his youngest son again, even though his expensive shirt was stained by Leandri's sweaty jersey, the old man still patted him on the back happily, "You are my pride."
Being praised by his father like this, Leandri felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know if it was the flush from the exercise on his face. He coughed lightly and broke away from his good father's arms. "Wait for me for a while. I still have to go over there to find Tony. I promised him that I would give him the jersey if he won the game."
They both knew that Toni Kroos was a good player, so they were still confident in their youngest son's choice of friends.
Leandri looked around for the German team's location and ran directly to Kroos' position.
Seeing that his friend really won the championship, Kroos was happy for him, and his pale and tender face smiled along with his friend.
Leandri deliberately raised his head and acted like a spoiled brat, "I promised to give you a jersey after we win the game. Did I keep my word?"
Seeing the other person's cute and arrogant expression, Cross felt soft in his heart, so he just hugged him.
Leandri felt the distinct muscles of the arm clasped around his waist, and he was pulled into his arms. When he reacted and looked at Cross, the other's eyes were open, "Well, you said it was my trophy."
The goalkeeper uniform on Leandri was now quite mottled, mixed with the gray-green color of falling on the grass, the earthy brown color of the mud, and the drops of sweat. After taking off his clothes and handing them over, Ryan saw his friend smiling, "Are you happy now?"
The staff began to urge everyone to get in place quickly as the award ceremony was about to begin.
The Ballon d'Or was won by Toni Kroos, who also won the Bronze Boot. He scored 5 goals and had 4 assists for Germany.
The Golden Ball was taken away by the regretful Chrysantos. The Nigerian player forced a smile, let the reporters take a few photos and then left.
The FIFA Fair Play Award for this year's U-17 World Cup went to Costa Rica.
People's final impression of this World Youth Championship was that Leandri, as captain, lifted the hard-earned trophy, and the picture of the teenagers laughing loudly and enthusiastically appeared in major Spanish newspapers.
After a satisfying trip to Korea, the team flew back to Spain early.
At this time, the La Liga was in full swing, and Castilla's third round in the Spanish Second Division had also ended. Several players who were drawn to play in the World Youth Championship were informed by Redondo that they could rest for a few more days before returning to the team.
Although Redondo was so generous in giving the holiday, Castilla's current ranking is not very good. The U17 and U19 teams had just finished their matches, and many of their key players had been withdrawn. In addition to Leandri, Adam also won the trophy as the captain of the U19 team. The goalkeeper at the moment was Jordi Cordinella, who had long lost his competitiveness. In addition, the team's backbone players such as Mata and Bueno had also been taken away.
In addition, Castilla's fierce pursuit of points in the second half of last season scared many teams, and they began to study them early. In the first three rounds of the game, no matter how hard Dong Ge tried, he only got 2 points, two draws and one loss.
In the fourth round, Redondo was not in a hurry to let the players who had been traveling to major competitions in the summer play. Maybe it was because the big players finally came back and were still sitting on the bench ready to warm up at any time, the players who had finally gotten some playing time on the field exploded on the field today as if they had been injected with chicken blood, blocking powerfully, tackling decisively, getting rid of opponents, and shooting amazingly, beating Real Sociedad 2-0 at halftime. In the 75th minute, Redondo replaced Bueno to adapt to the rhythm of the game. The Golden Boot winner who had just won the championship scored a goal as soon as he came on the court.
In the fifth round of the Spanish Second Division, Castilla challenged Celta Vigo away, and Leandri returned to the starting team.
When he walked to that station wearing the green team jersey, many Celta fans began to cheer for him, and whistles came into his ears from time to time.
Most fans who are willing to watch the Spanish Second Division or youth team games pay special attention to young players. Naturally, they also follow the schedule in the summer to watch the Spanish U17 and U19 teams dominate the field. Different from their unshakable dominance in U19, the young players of U17 achieved a breakthrough for the Chinese team. Leandri's performance in the penalty shootout won recognition from many people.
Celta frequently threatened Castilla on the field, with 14 shots on target in the first half alone, scoring one goal. If it weren't for Leandri's solid performance today, they would have almost lived in the net to fish the ball out. Therefore, they were not too polite to those sieves with particularly large holes, and those who talked about it were blushing and did not dare to refute.
However, Leandri is not the type of person who will not give in even if he is right. When Redondo was furious during the half-time break, he took the initiative to excuse the defense. After all, Celta was in a particularly brave state today.
In the second half, Castilla learned from their mistakes and fought bravely. It turns out that some colanders are retractable, and if you scold them, they can adjust the holes to become smaller.
First Mata scored with a long shot, and then Negredo shot from a small angle near the corner area, which went over the goalkeeper's raised hands.
Seeing that everything was back on track, Redondo on the sidelines finally felt relieved and returned to his seat to unscrew the kettle. He talked too much during the halftime break, and even the elegant prince would feel dry in the mouth.
At the end of the game, Castilla got another three points, and the players returned to Madrid happily singing on the bus.
The day after the game, Leandri went home early and sat in the living room to watch the game. The TV station was broadcasting the Bundesliga round 7 match between Bayern and Cottbus.
At the end of last season, Kroos told Leandri during a chat that he had been promoted to the first team. Recently, he said happily but with a bit of restraint that head coach Otmar Hitzfeld is particularly optimistic about him and may let him play in the recent league.
Compared to his friends who have already been appreciated by the head coach of the first team, Leandri is still working hard in the second team to play in the second-tier league. He is still a little frustrated and envious.
Tony: The goalkeeper position is special. Sooner or later you will be better than Casillas.
After seeing this message, Leandri’s mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and my friend was convinced that I could grab a spot!
At this moment, Ryan was eating a watermelon and watching this one-sided game.
Bayern led 2-0 in the first half and the opposing player received a yellow card. Not long into the second half, Italian striker Toni expanded the score again.
Leandri was wiping his mouth with a tissue when he saw the referee holding up a sign, saying No. 15 off and No. 39 on.
Kroos replaced Ze Robert and finally made his Bundesliga debut.
Then he quickly picked up his phone and sent a message to Felix: Watch the game, your brother is playing for Bayern!
Felix: Ok, thanks for the reminder.
Leandri stuffed small pieces of watermelon into his mouth and exclaimed in admiration. The commentator told everyone that Toni Kroos had set a new record for Bayern's youngest appearance at the age of 17 years and 265 days.
Kroos' debut was absolutely successful. He provided two assists to K God within 19 minutes of his appearance. The boy in the camera was praised by K God by patting him on the back of the neck and showing a shy smile.
After being hurriedly praised by everyone, Cross picked up his phone and saw that he had received messages of congratulations from family and friends.
After replying to everyone, he sent another message to Leandri: Do you want the jersey I wore when I first played for the first team? I'll give him to you.
The other party quickly replied to him: Okay, then I will give you my jersey when I join the first team.
"So happy?" Klose saw Kroos standing in front of his locker, "Go take a shower and don't catch a cold. Tony, your future is not limited to this."
The Bundesliga has been attracting attention with the newly minted talented midfielder Toni Kroos, and the sixth round of the Spanish Second Division match between Castilla and Tarragona has also arrived.
Although there are usually many fans who come to watch Castilla's games, today was the first time that Leandri saw so many fans on the sidelines.
Several big guys were about to tear their jerseys. When they saw Ryan Deli from a distance, they shouted excitedly to him, "Ryan Ryan, you are our hope. Don't let the hateful British deceive you."
After the World Youth Championship, although the transfer period had missed, Ferguson really expressed his love for Leandri in front of the media, saying that Leandri would not have a place in Real Madrid, Casillas would continue his peak period for a long time, and the Manchester United locker room welcomed the little guy. Van der Sar was also optimistic about Leandri's future and felt that he would be a good choice for Manchester United. Sir Alex even said that he would make a formal offer when the winter transfer window opens, but it is not known whether the last statement is true or not.
When the Meilingges heard this, what else could they do? I quickly ran to check the beets in my own field. Fans are now beginning to miss Florentino again. If he were the chairman now, where would his son go?
Leandri is also a player who is in good form. The more people watch him on the sidelines, the less nervous he is. Instead, he becomes more and more brave. His several saves made the big brothers burst into tears and cheer for him desperately. Other spectators also shouted his name enthusiastically.
We won the game 1-0 and Leandri felt so warm inside. I won’t leave!
[bite! Side quest: Completed being recognized as the Crown Prince of Real Madrid. ]
[bite! Side quest: Ask the host to force the emperor to abdicate. ]
Leandri's eyes widened.
