Chapter 336 It was like a bolt from the blue!
[Oh my god, what is Leandri doing? He took off his gloves and goalkeeper uniform and became the only big center forward on our Spanish field! ]
[Damn, the goalkeeper changed his position to play center forward!] ]
[Returning to my old days, Ryan Deli actually played as a center forward. Tell me loudly, guys, when was that? ]
[The tenth crown! ]
[I still can't forget the goal scored by Leandri in the Champions League final. Can we reproduce the glory today? ]
[Leandri, I really cried my heart out. He did a good job of defense step by step and led Spain to the semi-finals. He never gave up even when there were various problems along the way. And today, when we lacked a center forward to equalize the score, he stood up again! ]
[Pelotegui really dared to think and act. He clearly had other options at that time, but he chose the most risky way. ]
[Leandri was actually willing to step up. If he didn't perform well and was blocked by Varane and others, he would be blamed by black fans and irrational fans, and his efforts and star power throughout the summer would be overshadowed. ]
[Yes, but I think Leandri is not afraid of these. He is an extremely confident player. I think Leandri himself is excited to stand out at this time. Big scenes will not wear down his edges, but will only arouse his fighting spirit! ]
[But think about it from another angle, if Leandri could score a goal in the final minutes, let alone overtake, he would become a legend in Spanish football. He will definitely be the most brilliant player this summer, and no one can hide even a little bit of his brilliance! ]
Not to mention the fans and commentators were shocked, Varane approached the person he was supposed to defend with a look of am I awake?
The world has really come to an end. Who could have thought that a central defender like me would one day be defending the goalkeeper of my club on the field? Is this reasonable? !
Deschamps was a bit confused. Leandri had only played as a striker a handful of times, and his offensive preference was almost zero in front of data analysts around the world.
However, Deschamps was not too worried. After all, this guy has been playing as a goalkeeper since he was a child. He is not a forward who has transformed into a backward position. Can he really do anything well as a center forward?
But at this moment, there was one person in the stands who was extremely nervous.
Zidane.
Others may not know how strong Leandri's offensive attributes are, but as Leandri's former head coach, doesn't he know it? Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, this baldy would even secretly teach Leandri some offensive tricks.
Leandri is fully capable of playing as a striker, but he has not had many opportunities over the years in Real Madrid, which has a star-studded frontcourt.
The game starts again.
There was not much time left in the game, and the French team began to shrink their defense almost completely. Even though everyone was not familiar with Leandri playing as a center forward, Umtiti and Varane still paid attention to Leandri's position from time to time.
Leandri still doesn't have many opportunities to get the ball, because even his teammates didn't think Leandri could really play the role of a center forward, but they were focused on creating set pieces, and then Pique and Leandri, two tall guys, would push into the penalty area.
Goals come, goals come, goals come from all directions!
Leandri scratched his head. Seeing the situation on the field, he had no choice but to retreat and get the ball.
At this time, Isco was just being watched by Kante. Seeing someone retreating to the same level as him, he subconsciously passed the ball to him. When he took a closer look, it was Leandri.
Although this guy often wins when he circles within the team, it must be difficult to break through the French team's defense...
Shit, he broke in!
It's just that the way he broke through was a bit funny. Leandri relied on his tall and strong stature to turn into a bulldozer. When Varane, who was also tall and strong, approached him, he chose to change his attributes to play with him. Twisting his body nimbly, Leandri passed directly by Varane.
Shoot!
Leandri kicked the ball without even looking at Lori. He couldn't wait. Didn't he see that Umtiti next to him was about to make a tackle!
The ball came with such force and suddenness that Lori didn't react immediately. Until there was a crisp sound of it hitting the goal post, Lori quickly hugged the ball, and then kicked it out with a big foot in an attempt to kill time and see if there was any chance for them to take advantage of the situation.
Mbappe started speeding again. Who is standing in front of the goal of the Chinese team at this time?
De Gea!
This is a guy who has the ability to compete for the main goalkeeper position in any national team. Guigui's shot was caught by him with a side dive.
The game was already in the 87th minute.
De Gea passed the ball to Ramos who was lagging behind, and Shui Ye continued to carry the ball forward, and when the opponent's players came up to press, he passed the ball to Vazquez.
At this time, almost all of the Ducks' forwards were watched by French players. There was only Varane in front of Leandri. Umtiti judged that Vazquez with the ball and Isco who was ready to respond at any time were more dangerous, so he ran to Isco.
On the other side, Varane's attention was not entirely on Leandri. Axiao next to him and Nacho who was making a forward run were both trying to harass their defense.
Throughout the entire game, the only ones who believed that Leandri could really attack were probably Nacho, Vazquez and Carvajal. Varane, who was teammates with Leandri when he won the championship, didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Leandri was really lucky and the chosen one, and there is always a difference between training performance and actual performance on the court.
At this moment, the ball is at Vasquez's feet.
As Lucas Hernandez's pressure got closer, Vazquez looked up at the positions of his teammates around him. Two seconds later, while protecting the ball, he suddenly looked at Isco on the right.
Umtiti and Lucas, who had been keeping a close eye on him, reacted immediately. The two of them blocked the passing route that Vazquez wanted to pass to Isco, one in front and one behind.
Vazquez took a corner kick, and his raised right leg suddenly changed direction under the confident gazes of the two men!
Where did you go?
Varane saw the ball flying in the air in a blink of an eye, and Leandri in front of him had already started!
Pass the ball?
But by the time Varane reacted, Leandri had somehow appeared behind him, and there was only Lori behind him!
Vazquez's pass was just the right amount of time in advance, and when the ball fell, Leandri had already rushed into the penalty area.
At this time, there were three people in the small penalty area trying their best to push off the ground and jump.
Leandri and Lori were facing each other head on. Varane tried his best to catch up with them and finally jumped up in a hurry at the last moment.
One on two, who gets the header?
Leandri didn't care about the risk of injury, let alone the wound that had not yet healed. He raised his head high and tried to reach towards the sky!
boom!
"If we get a level 3 wave at Yumen, it will be like a thunderclap in the sky!"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! In the 88th minute of the game, when everyone believed that the French team was about to receive the last ticket to the semi-finals, a Spanish goalkeeper stood up and changed the direction of the entire game!"
"In the 88th minute, Leandri received a cross from Vazquez in front of the goal and Spain equalized!"
As Leandri fell, his eyes were still fixed on the ball. After he was sure that the ball had entered the net, he immediately ran towards Vasquez after landing. Behind them were his teammates who had the same explosive mentality.
We still have a chance, we still have a chance!
But at this moment, Leandri, Vazquez and others hugged each other vigorously. They, the defensive team, had grown up together since childhood, and they talked about playing football together in the future and winning many championships together. Today, the four of them gathered together in the World Cup to fight for victory in the semi-finals, and before that they won a record three consecutive Champions League titles together at the club.
They have dreams, and they are working hard to make them come true.
Perotegui pointed to the sky with both hands. He knew they would not lose so easily. The game was not over yet, and now both sides were on the same starting line again!
The fourth official on the sidelines held up a sign indicating five minutes of extra time.
The head coaches of both teams asked their players to try a few more attacks, but in fact everyone was already preparing tactics for overtime.
Kepa sat on the bench and looked at the center forward version of Leandri who was finally valued by everyone in France.
My idol is so strong. He can defend his country by resisting thousands of troops, and he can fight bravely against the enemy without any enemy in sight. He is a role model for our generation!
Neuer, who was watching the game, was drooling with envy. "My coaches, if any of you can let me play as a center forward, I will do anything you ask me to do. I will definitely become a sharp knife in your palace fighting!"
In the second minute of stoppage time, the desperate Griezmann shot against Pique's defense, and De Gea, who was also aroused, punched the ball out with one punch.
Mbappe got the ball and shot directly. This time De Gea failed to block it, but Carvajal, who appeared out of nowhere, was standing in front of the goal. He blocked the ball with his body to prevent you from kicking it in!
De Gea then quickly held the ball tightly.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Iscola went to the wing and kept exchanging positions with Asensio. Now the mentality of the two teams has completely changed. France was leading for most of the game but was tied at the last minute and had no place to vent their anger, while the Russians were getting more and more excited as the game went on.
One meter in front of the penalty area, Pavard brought down Isco who was dribbling forward with the ball, and the referee awarded a direct free kick.
Everyone knew that this would be the last offensive chance in the regular season, and then they would enter overtime.
Unexpectedly, Leandri did not prepare to score but stood alone in front of the penalty spot.
Varane swallowed and immediately reminded Lori.
"Be careful of his free kicks, Leandri learned his free kicks from Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Lori also remembered that this incident was reported in newspapers and on the Internet: There is something wrong with you Real Madrid. Not only did Ronaldo teach the goalkeeper how to use an electric bicycle, he also taught him how to use the elevator ball?
Brother Luo: Let me repeat again, he didn’t learn how to use the electric bicycle from me, no!
The fans didn't think that the final attack by the Chinese team would amount to anything big. Even though Leandri has a good relationship with Kroos, can you imitate him and score a buzzer-beating free kick? Madu is so nervous. He doesn't know how the overtime will go. Is it going to end in a penalty shootout again?
Leandri placed the ball, and when the referee blew the whistle, he let out a long breath, then took a step sideways and back five steps.
approach! Shoot!
The ball spun upwards quickly and then dropped sharply. As soon as Lori saw this movement, he knew that Leandri was going to shoot an elevator ball, but he had no way to stop it!
Cristiano Ronaldo who is watching the game: Look carefully, this handsome guy is the one I taught!
The entire stadium was completely ignited, with tears of unwillingness and the joy of rebirth intertwined.
There was no overtime, let alone a penalty shootout, and Spain scored the winning goal in the last seconds!
Leandri, who scored the goal, released all his emotions. He ran, took off his shirt and rushed towards the fans.
Yes, in the first World Cup group match I was defeated by Ronaldo's three free kicks, but today I also used the free kick technique he taught me to lead the team out of despair!
Looking at the 1-2 hanging high on the scoreboard, Leandri hugged his teammates and coach tightly.
We only have one last game left this summer.
