Chapter 92 Chapter 92 The Impatient Baker
The atmosphere in the originally relaxed locker room suddenly became tense. Leandri gave instructions to his defense line, telling them not to lose their position, not to be fooled, and not to be reckless!
Veterans like Hyypia also succumbed to the threat of the draw from the great Leandri, and promised that they would have high hopes for his defensive partners.
Of course, the most cunning one was Friedrich. The tall central defender quietly ran up to Lai Andinglei and whispered in his ear to discuss things.
Ryan Ryan, I'll help you watch the goal in the last 15 minutes, can you give me one more shot?
Leandri knew human nature well. The easier it is to get something, the harder it is to cherish it. He refused several times, but only reluctantly agreed when he saw that Friedrich was in so much pain that he was about to cry.
This is really very laborious. Don’t tell anyone else. Only the two of us know about it. We did it secretly.
Kroos glanced at the excited look of his center back and knew roughly what the two were doing secretly.
Before going on the pitch, Leandri started running in front of the midfielders and frontcourt players, shouting that he wanted to let the whole world see that Leverkusen is a high-quality team that actively participates in defense starting from the forwards and is particularly good at offense. Even though the score was 3-0, their desire to attack has not diminished at all. 4-0 and 5-0 are their higher aspirations.
Heynckes held it in for a long time, coughed twice and ran out of the locker room. Rolfes slapped him on the back of the neck, and the good captain asked a fatal question, "Ryan, if we were both in the front, who would you assist?"
For a moment, everyone from Kiesling, Deldiyok, Vidal, Banetta, and even the two full-backs Kadlec and Castro all focused their eyes on the goalkeeper's face.
Leandri chuckled, grabbed Kroos who was still tying his shoelaces, and slapped him on the face, "Of course it's for Tony!"
Rolfes rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, I know you two have a deep brotherly bond."
With just one sentence, he solved a locker room crisis and made his boyfriend happy. Leandri walked out of the locker room with a proud and confident look. In the next 30 minutes, Nuremberg won't score a single goal!
The Nuremberg players noticed that the opponent's style had changed in the player tunnel. They were clearly laughing and joking at the end of the first half, but now they were on high alert as if facing a powerful enemy. If you didn't know, you would have thought that it was Leverkusen who had conceded three goals!
This made them very furious. What do you mean? You are still not satisfied after beating us 3-0 in the first half, right? Even a clay man can get angry. Wait and see if we don’t give you a big reversal in the Bayern Arena!
The Nuremberg generals were ready to do something big, but they died before they could accomplish anything.
"Dear viewers, welcome back to the 8th round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen's home game against Nuremberg."
"In the first half, young player Toni Kroos made many contributions, one pass and one shot brought the team two goals. The cooperation between Kiessling and Deldiyok sent Nuremberg to the brink. It will not be easy for Nuremberg to get points in this game."
"Not easy? Leverkusen is likely to win the game. If Nuremberg doesn't adjust their tactics, I don't know how big the score difference will be in today's game."
"Neither side changed their formations, and the players on both teams looked unhappy."
When the two commentators were doing the game preview, the game officially began.
"The referee blew the whistle and Nuremberg took the lead."
"Hey? It looks like Nuremberg is preparing to launch a fast break right at the start of the game!"
"Friedrich be careful!"
Nuremberg striker Morting passed the ball back to the midfield after the whistle and ran forward alone. The game had just started and the defenders of Bayer Leverkusen certainly did not get into the game state immediately.
"Manu, keep an eye on No. 14 on the opposite side!"
He didn't know whether the Bayer Leverkusen defender entered the game state immediately, but the Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper definitely entered the game state instantly, and even provided a wake-up service. The roar scared Mo Ting so much that he almost stumbled.
The next second, the opening blitz that they had carefully planned in the Nuremberg locker room was aborted. Moding was directly marked by Friedrich, and the long pass from the midfield to Moding was caught by Vidal who was well prepared.
Ten minutes later, Nuremberg didn't feel like they were playing against Leverkusen at all. They rubbed their eyes and thought they must have seen it wrong. Was this Bayer Leverkusen?
This is Inter Milan wearing Leverkusen's clothes!
The Spanish goalkeeper standing at the end is as fierce as Kahn. He will roar like a lion to pull anyone back who dares to lose their position. Isn't this goalkeeper the youngest on the field? Why does it seem that everyone gives him face?
Heynckes pulled his assistant coach to record desperately, and Leverkusen's defensive level is still worth looking forward to. As long as their goalkeeper scolds the whole team and stares at people on the field and scolds them, Leverkusen can instantly evolve into this season's international pharmaceutical factory!
"In the future, require them to defend with the same intensity as today." The kind-hearted Grandpa Hai secretly gave everyone a blow while they were sweating profusely.
In the 52nd minute, Nuremberg finally seized the opportunity. Midfielder Franz made a long pass in the half. The high ball was blocked by Vidal with his head but flew to the feet of the opponent player. The latter waded with the ball and kicked it, finally sending the ball into Leverkusen's penalty area.
Leandri attacked immediately!
Mo Ting, who was lying in ambush in the penalty area, also rushed forward and prepared to stretch his legs.
Although Leandri is tall and strong, his speed is not slow at all. He is half a body length ahead and uses his chest to take the ball off.
When the ball fell back to the ground, Moting had already come around from behind and was ready to steal the ball from the goalkeeper. Seeing this, Leandri was not afraid at all and pushed the ball with the outside of his foot, and the ball passed along the outstretched shoes of Mo Ting.
Mo Ting did not give up either. He immediately changed his center of gravity and continued to steal the ball with force on his feet.
"Moting is back in the penalty area, Leandri should be careful!"
"Step on it, turn around, pull the ball? Marseille turn?! Leandri has passed!"
"This is the second time. Andre's Marseille turn is not accidental. He really knows how to do it! He is very proficient in this technique. He must be Zidane's disciple!"
"Nonono, Zidane can't teach a goalkeeper, okay, but this Marseille turn must have been taught by him, the movements and timing are exactly the same as the French!"
"The Marseille turn is not difficult, what is difficult is to be as elegant as Zidane!"
"We always miss Zidane's elegant Marseille turn which we will never see again after his retirement. Who would have thought! Who would have thought that a goalkeeper could replicate his grace today!"
The commentator was extremely excited, and so were the fans on the sidelines.
[He is really handsome and elegant, but I was also really scared just now. ]
[You see, Ryan smiled when he passed the ball to Vidal after passing through Modin. If he had just been stabbed by Modin, he would probably just be crying while holding the goal. ]
[I just like to see beautiful women shedding tears, one little pearl at a time. ]
[You gay bastard, don’t bully our Ryan, he just came of age! ]
[I almost had a heart attack. It’s better to be safe. Our frontcourt is not bad either. We don’t need the goalkeeper’s help. ]
[No, no, no, that’s what we should do. I’m getting tired of watching them kicking each other every day. I just love watching Ryan doing things on the court. The visual impact is perfect! ]
[I am also a goalkeeper. I have an appointment with my friends to play football together tomorrow. I want to copy Leandri’s skills! A defender who can't do the Marseille turn is not a good goalkeeper. ]
[Good brother, I suggest you run away quickly after playing with them, and remember to block your teammates on the way. ]
At the same time, a red-nosed old man in the UK was watching the game today because he had nothing to do.
"Shift! Damn Real Madrid, damn Calderon, I almost bought him!"
"Are you watching football at home again, old man?"
Hearing Cathy's scolding, the red-nosed old man quickly turned off the TV and stopped watching it. The more he watched, the angrier he got!
In the 73rd minute, Leandri again picked up Nuremberg's shot from outside the penalty area.
In the 75th minute, Hyypia cleared the opponent's ball out of the baseline and Nuremberg won a corner kick.
Leandri is more excited than anyone else. It’s time, it’s time, it’s 75 minutes!
The Chinese goalkeeper barely managed to calm his pounding heart, and directed his teammates in the penalty area to take their positions. He looked at each of them like an old mother, fearing that he would leave any opponent behind and fail at the last moment.
Nuremberg's No. 24 player stood in the corner area ready to kick the ball. With a bang, the ball flew towards the goal in the air with a spin.
Stay away!
Leandri took a quick step back.
Franz had already withstood the physical confrontation with Friedrich, and with a violent shake of his head, the ball hit his head and changed its trajectory!
"The far post is empty, Franz heads the ball!"
"Leandri! Leandri! He did it!"
"The header from close range was punched out by Leandri! No, Mo Ting was at the point of impact, and he made a follow-up shot, right?!"
"It's still him! Who says a 19-year-old goalkeeper is not stable enough? Look at this ball, Mo Ting's follow-up shot was blocked by him!"
"This ball was saved twice, and Nuremberg's morale dropped significantly."
The two commentators shouted until their mouths were dry, and their words showed that they wanted to hug Leandri and give him a big kiss.
Banetta was already near the center circle, and Kiessling was sticking close to the opponent's defender in front of the penalty area. Leandri stood up quickly and kicked the ball, but he was not looking for Banetta, but Kroos who was cutting in from the left at the same time as him!
Kroos made another cross without stopping the ball, and Kiessling shot directly into the net!
But before they could celebrate, the referee signaled that the goal was invalid because Kiesling was offside!
The one who was even more angry than the cursing Kiesling was Leandri who was looking for an opportunity to launch a fast break. He found such a good opportunity, but you, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, were offside!
At this time, Leandri understood very well the daily feelings of those midfielders, what bad luck!
However, he does not have the patience that the midfielders have towards the forwards. If he fails to score the first time, the young goalkeeper will take the lead himself.
Leandri looked back at his head coach, and Grandpa Hai turned his head and went back to sit. The Chinese mandarin automatically translated: You can handle it yourself, I'm old and can't see anything anyway.
In the 80th minute, all the fans in the stadium and the players and coaching staff of Nuremberg were stunned to see Leandri and Friedrich swap positions. The young goalkeeper ran to the back line to defend and tackle, while the original central defender squatted in front of the goal line and played terribly.
Moting was in more pain than anyone else. He was frozen in a one-on-one defense by the opposing goalkeeper. As long as the ball flew to his feet, within a few seconds he would be cleanly intercepted by this "defender" who was still wearing gloves and lose possession of the ball. He could not even stop the opponent. After all, one could not expect a striker like him to be very fierce in defense.
Oh no. If you are not careful, the ball will disappear under your feet, so love will disappear, right?
Mo Ting shed tears in his heart as he watched the ball being taken farther and farther away by Leandri.
? Aren't you a guest defender? Why are you running so far forward?
Moting found that something was wrong. The goalkeeper of the Chinese team, who had just snatched the ball from him, was actually cooperating with Banetta in a wall-to-wall attack.
After passing the opponent's midfielder, Banetta received the ball from Leandri. Seeing that the opponent's defender was also speeding up and preparing to attack him, he immediately passed the ball back to the goalkeeper who "expanded the defensive range without authorization".
"Ryan!"
"here!"
"Pass it over!"
In a sense, Rolfes is really like the Prophet Emperor. Now Kiessling, Deldiyok and Banetta all gathered towards the small penalty area, stretching their hands to ask the goalkeeper for a goal.
The three key players instantly attracted the attention of Nuremberg's entire defense line, especially Deldiyok's header, which had to be defended at this time.
Leandri was satisfied. Yes, yes, yes, I am so powerful that you should be on high alert.
Then he pushed the ball to the left and Kroos made a direct shot.
The ball still spinning in the net told everyone that the result of the game was officially 4-0.
He pounced on Kroos in two steps and said, "I said, I will definitely pass the ball to you!"
Little Kuan Lian hadn't even calmed down yet but he responded anxiously, "I'm your first choice!"
The two forwards are a little depressed. Why can't we have one more pancake maker?
