Chapter 338: Anything is OK...
The Croatian players in the player tunnel couldn't calm down for a long time looking at the former goalkeeper in the red jersey in front of them. Rakitic almost wanted to hit himself to see if he was dreaming.
Not to mention the players of the Checkered Army, every commentator and fan who received the starting list said that Spain was crazy. You actually let your goalkeeper start as center forward? Although he played very well in those ten minutes a few days ago, he has never played in the front court. Perotegui, is it really reliable for you to let a player who was forced to do something unplanned to be the starting striker in the World Cup final? If you push Leandri forward, aren't you afraid that the goalkeeper will react and grab the ball before Subasic in the opponent's penalty area?
The current mental states of commentators and fans can be divided into three categories: one is similar to Rakitic, doubting the reality of the real world; one is the neutral fans who think it has nothing to do with them and just want to watch the show; and the other is, okay, Ryan Dele rushes up and teaches them a lesson to let them know that we Chinese are invincible!
The attributes of the last type are basically the Mei Lingge of pressed duck. These people now have a blind confidence in Leandri.
Our goalkeeper just wants to play as a striker, so what? He must be super awesome!
As the commentators recovered from their shock, they began to analyze Pelotgui's astonishing decision.
"Wow, we really see Leandri playing as the center forward for the Spanish team, he's all alone up front."
"Who could have thought that this would happen in the World Cup? It's amazing. No one would have thought of this before this game. It seems that Leandri's double against France has made Perotegui trust him more."
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, this decision is risky but feasible. As we all know, Spain's forward line is not strong, and Diego Costa has not recovered from his injury. Isn't it just right to send Leandri up? He has the height, headers, and footwork required, and he can also retreat to pass the ball, and even defend for the team at the front. What is the most critical point? The key is that the whole world has no clear understanding of Leandri's level as a center forward. How can you defend against this? Perotegui was able to push Leandri up directly today, which shows that this tactic is feasible when they practice it in the team."
"Not only that, Perotegui was able to make this decision because Spain now has enough goalkeeper options. Leandri is gone, and who dares to say that De Gea is not good at what he does?"
"Even if De Gea is injured, the strength of Spanish goalkeeper Kepa cannot be underestimated."
"If Leandri can really do everything as we said today and become Spain's surprise weapon, then Spain's problems in the midfield and frontcourt will basically be solved."
"Yes, except that Leandri must be exhausted to death."
"That's not necessarily the case. Compared to Spain, Croatia's physical reserves are definitely worse. Three consecutive overtime games are a huge challenge for the players."
Fans of the Chinese Ducks began to think: Although it is a bit inaccurate to talk about the effect without considering the total amount, but with the little time and performance of Leandri's part-time job, who knows whether it was the best record or this guy could be even stronger before he warmed up well?
In a sense, the confidence level of fans of Chinese football and England is similar.
After listening to the commentary, the fans looked at everyone on the field with shining eyes, especially the tall former goalkeeper. Come on, Ryan, if it really happens today, we will give you a Kroos to make you happy!
Cross: Although I would like to, this is your ecstasy, and I am a cool German guy, thank you.
Leandri looked at the World Cup trophy taken out by Lahm, he wanted it so much! He also remembered that before he came on the field, Perotegui told him that if things really didn't work out, he would just go back to being a goalkeeper. Anyway, the staff had already packed up his goalkeeper equipment and put it on the sidelines just in case.
Leandri scoffed at this and asked, "Who wants to be a goalkeeper?" Do you know how many text messages Neuer has sent me recently, expressing his envy for me? There was a hint of jealousy in the words of the Belgian giraffe.
Don't think that goalkeepers only love to be goalkeepers. If you ask them to play as strikers, they will be furious and call you a lunatic, and then blame you for why you didn't make this decision earlier.
Leandri stood in front of the Chinese team with great confidence, ready to kick off. The commentators and fans were worried that he would be in the wrong position at the start, but that did not happen at all. Leandri said that today's game was not only for the Chinese team, but also for thousands of goalkeepers.
The morale of both sides in the final became stronger and stronger as the journey became more difficult. Leandri touched his brow bone which was still a little itchy. He would be able to have a good sleep after this game. So what reason did he have not to give it another try?
With the referee's whistle, the game that attracted fans from all over the world officially began.
Leandri entered the final very quickly, passed the ball back and started running forward.
Isco received the ball and passed it to Asensio, who then made a long pass to launch the attack.
Leandri had just run to the middle of the opponent's court. Rakitic and Brozovic both rushed up to double-team him, but Leandri's 1.9-meter height and bounce were completely overwhelming in front of the two of them. The big center of the Russian team overpowered the two and passed the ball to the right, where Vasquez had already run over to meet the target.
Brozovic quickly gave up on Leandri and turned around to intercept. After trying to pass him several times, Vazquez found that he could not break through. At this time, Leandri suddenly ran to his side, and Vazquez saw this and quickly passed the ball.
The ball came back to Leandri, who changed direction continuously. Leandri easily got rid of Rakitic, attracted most of Croatia's defensive attention and then faced their goal.
Asensio came on the side and, standing at the top of the penalty area, he was overjoyed when he saw Leandri pass the ball to him, and then he raised his thigh high.
Bang!
Faster than him is Croatia captain Modric.
Modric had already noticed this defensive gap and cleared the ball before Ah Xiao could make a long shot.
"We can see that Spain played very aggressively at the start of the game today. In just a short while, Leandri's performance as a striker was very aggressive."
"Croatia's spiritual attributes will be more obvious, and Modric's clearance is also wonderful."
The ball was caught by Alba who was making a forward run, and after several passes, the ball finally landed at Isco's feet.
Isco was about to pass the ball when Brozovic suddenly intercepted the ball. Leandri was at the front like a lonely, flickering lighthouse in the ocean, conspicuous but no one paid attention to him.
Five minutes later, Asensio tried to open up the situation from the wing, but Rakitic and Vrsaljko's frequent interceptions prevented the Chinese team from moving the ball forward.
Leandri scratched his head, looked towards the sidelines and made a gesture. When he saw Perotegui nod, he retreated without hesitation.
Since this cake can’t be delivered to me, I’ll make it myself and eat it myself!
In the 15th minute, Leandri, who was retreating, received a pass from Busquets and started to dribble past the defense.
The continuous electric bicycle kick, although ugly, was quite effective, forcing Vrsaljko to retreat continuously. Seeing Lovren coming up to make up for the defense, Leandri didn't want to communicate with him any more and directly passed the ball to Isco, who found Axiao who was ambushing nearby and was knocked down by the ball.
The ball came back to Leandri's feet in an instant.
Taking a look at Lovren, although this guy is often distracted on the field, his strength is still beyond doubt, and his body is a complete standard defender template.
But Leandri was not afraid of the opponent. He used his body to resist the opponent, and then sent the ball out with the outside of his foot in front of the Croatian players.
Who should I give the ball to?
to whom?
It's for Buzz Lightyear!
I don't know when Vazquez had run into the penalty area and jumped high towards the ball.
But the one defending him at this time was Vida. Although this guy was not that tall, he was more than enough to defend Vasquez. Due to his interference, Vasquez failed to get the ball into the right position, and the ball hit the far post and bounced back.
Leandri quickly prepared to make a follow-up shot, but Lovren next to him kept following him and didn't let Leandri get a chance to lift his foot comfortably.
Subasic also attacked, and Leandri made a fake move without the ball to interfere. He first cut inside, stepped his right foot towards Lovren, pretending to overtake by force, and when the opponent's entire center of gravity shifted, he suddenly retracted his foot and took a long way to break through from the other side of Lovren's body.
The two goalkeepers were getting closer and closer. Seeing that Lovren and Vida were about to come over to block, Leandri chose to fall to the ground.
Shovel shot!
The ball went into the goal from Subasic's feet.
Before Leandri could get up, he was knocked down by Vazquez, Isco and others. The fans in the stands burst into tears of joy and gave the first cheer of the day.
Wow, we have never scored the first goal since the knockout stage of this year's World Cup. I'm so sad. Leandri, you really can do anything!
Ramos looked like a thief without manly ethics at this moment, almost kissing Leandri to death in front of the Croatian captain.
The Prince of Real Madrid really felt Shui Ye's top-notch clinging skills at this moment, and he couldn't break free no matter what. Her husband and his whole family were sitting in the stands, and the camera was definitely facing him, but Ramos was as enthusiastic as his golden retriever, giving people the illusion that he was going to kiss Leandri to death and then they would both come out.
Although Kroos knew that his club captain was like this, his face was still dark. Florentino was very happy and even said to his eldest son next to him, "Ryan and Sergio have a really good relationship." The eldest brother nodded, and Kroos next to him didn't dare to speak.
The transfer window is approaching, and the old man will have time to mess with him later. I don’t know whether he will sell him to Manchester United, Juventus or Paris Saint-Germain this year.
Leandri, who had finally struggled out of the crowd of men, was determined in his goal. He went straight to the Banya family stand, raised his head and launched a sunny offensive towards Perez, Kroos and Eric in the stands.
Eric turned his head and glanced at Xiao Kuan next to him. This guy is really finished. Leandri just smiled at him and he almost lost his soul.
Fans of the Chinese Ducks also saw this scene from the camera. They took the lead in just 15 minutes. So do they not have to suffer anymore today?
