Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Pillow Talk
"What are you two doing?" Kroos suddenly appeared between the two goalkeepers who were kissing each other.
"I'm encouraging Ryan to develop arm muscles like mine as soon as possible!" Neuer said, pressing Ryan's suddenly stiff palm and then continued to grab his muscles twice, "The goalkeeper's upper limb strength is very important!"
Although Neuer couldn't smile because of losing the game, the goal made the future goalkeeper secretly feel happy!
Next time I sign a contract, I must ask my agent to add a goal bonus!
"It's good to be well-proportioned," Leandri quickly excused himself, "I think Tony's arms feel better."
He grabbed Kroos' arm and patted it twice to show that what he said must be right. Neuer was unconvinced and grabbed Kroos's other arm and pinched it twice, shaking his head in disapproval.
The young captain Rolfes came over to rescue the players and planned to apologize to Leandri secretly, but he couldn't find a chance to be alone.
"Tony, why don't you step aside? Ryan and I have something to talk about." Rolfes said politely to Xiao Kuan. The captain also had to save his face.
"No, he listens to everything I say," Leandri knew why the captain came, "Besides, weren't you guys still wondering whether it was me or Tony who had the child?"
Rolfes is about to kneel down to the Banyan people.
"Actually, what the captain said is right. He is indeed our son. When Yada comes, we will raise him as our son." Cross seriously excused the good captain.
After carefully studying Kroos's words, Leandri nodded in approval and quickly reconciled with the captain.
This is the power of pillow talk!
Rolfes was speechless about this pair of good brothers, "How are you going to find a partner if you two continue to stay together like this?"
"If you meet the girl you love, just fall in love and get married. Before you meet her, it's better to be a brother." Leandri told the truth openly. As for how long the brotherhood can last, that is another matter.
Sometimes hiding things can attract attention, but if you just reveal the relationship, no one will believe it, except for Kuanlai/Sister Laikuan who turned the entire northwest Shanxi into a mess.
After the dog son incident, Leverkusen is united again, and the good relationship in the locker room makes Heynckes smile every day.
It is November now and the weather in Germany has turned cold. The streets are full of dark Wolf Claw jackets. After one year in Germany, Leandri's dressing style has changed from a colorful handsome boy to a dark-colored cool guy.
Cursing the cold air in Germany, Leandri began to miss the warm Spain. He made a firm winter vacation plan to the German sitting on the back of his motorcycle: go back to Spain, and must go back to Spain to bask in the sun!
On November 4, Leverkusen fans flocked to the BayArena to welcome their opponents.
The battle of the Champions League group stage has reignited, with Bayer Leverkusen sitting at home waiting for their opponent Sevilla, who gave them the only bitter defeat this season.
Perhaps it was because Leandri had assists in all three previous games, today Sevilla coach Jimenez deliberately asked the defense to pay attention to Leandri's passing point and not let him be easily hit from behind. If Leandri wanted to move forward and start counterattacking from the front line, once he made a mistake and lost the ball, Sevilla could basically have an away goal.
At this point in the season, Heynckes is gradually freeing up Leandri and giving him more ball rights. Several of Leverkusen's attacks were instigated by the goalkeeper, which also brought goals to the team.
Although Sevilla does not play in the Bundesliga, Jimenez has obviously done a lot of homework. In the last round when Bayer Leverkusen played against Schalke 04, the goalkeepers on both sides not only made many amazing saves on the defensive end, but the news that the two of them helped the team score goals with one pass and one shot respectively also became popular in the entire football world at the first time, and many people began to discuss the possibility of goalkeepers in offense.
In the first 45 minutes of today's game, Leandri kept guarding in front of the goal. It's not that he didn't want to contribute in the offense, but he really had no chance. Throughout the first half, Sevilla took 9 shots, 5 of which were on target. In addition to Hyypiä's heroic save in front of the goal, Leandri alone withstood the opponent's bombardment and made many amazing saves to keep the goal intact.
Just a few minutes into the second half, Sevilla got another corner kick opportunity.
Carefully directing his teammates' positions, Leandri had a bad feeling for some reason and immediately became fully alert.
The whistle blows and the ball is out!
The ball drew an arc in the air and did not enter the penalty area. Instead, it floated towards the central defender standing on the penalty area line, who suddenly kicked the ball!
Hyypia quickly gave up on the striker he was staring at. He was the closest to the ball's trajectory. He kicked with his legs and headed the ball out with his forehead!
But the ball was not handled well. Hyypia was still disturbed by the opponent when he jumped, and his header was not straight. This resulted in the football flying high but landing in the penalty area. The threat of Leandri was still not eliminated.
Kadlec and Sevilla's No. 10 on the left jumped at the same time. He would rather give the opponent another corner kick than resolve the crisis!
The result...the result was that Leandri almost broke through the defense when he saw the ball headed by Kadlec!
No, brother, look at this ball, it's so fast and urgent, how come you can't make such a high-quality header when you make a forward run or take a corner kick from the opposite side?
If he hadn't been sure that he hadn't been bitten by a spider recently, Leandri would have wondered if he was the real-life Spider-Man. Fortunately, his spider sense made him alert to danger and he never dared to relax.
The ball came too fast, and Leandri threw himself to the left, barely able to touch the ball. He pushed it with his left hand, and the falling ball was kicked out of the baseline by Hyypia who came over to fill the position.
But the previous goal cannot be entirely blamed on Kadlec. Defenders are prone to making mistakes when competing for headers under interference, and Kadlec's style of play is also relatively aggressive. The combination of the two makes it not impossible for such a situation to happen occasionally.
Waving to the embarrassed Kadlec, Leandri really didn't take it to heart and was fully focused on preparing for the next corner kick.
This time the opponent directly lifted the ball into the penalty area. In the crowded crowd, Sevilla's No. 9 took advantage of the chaos and shot directly. Leandri immediately went to the ground and dangerously hugged the ball.
I was originally thinking about quickly kicking the ball to find Kiesling or Derdiyok, but when I looked up, I saw the opposing defender sticking to the two Bayer forwards, begging for some cockroach medicine to take back to Spain.
There was no hope for a quick attack, so Leandri threw the ball to Kadlec for the attack.
He had been under intense pressure for the past few minutes, so he had to make sure that his team's midfield and frontcourt gave the opponent the same defense as usual. Leandri was afraid that the opponent's goalkeeper would catch a cold in Germany and affect his performance in the future, so he sent Kiessling to make a tricky shot. When he saw the opponent's goalkeeper falling on the grass in embarrassment while trying to save the ball, he finally began to sigh.
The goalkeeper's destiny is to use the grass as a bed. Of course, whether to lie down, lie on the side or sit is up to personal choice.
With Kroos' shot in stoppage time being saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, the two teams ended in a draw after 90 minutes of fierce battle.
Sevilla is not afraid at all. Qualifying for the group stage is almost certain. After four games, they have not lost a single game and only got 10 points because of the draw today.
Leverkusen has two draws, one win and one loss, with 5 points and is currently ranked second in the group.
Heynckes was quite satisfied with getting a point from the strong team Sevilla in the Champions League group stage, but he also had to consider the players' physical fitness when fighting on three fronts.
In the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Heynckes rotated many players. Barnetta, Kadlec, Kroos, Deldiyok and others were all sitting on the bench and eating bananas.
The coaching staff doesn't care about them. They just need to stay in their positions. The bananas will be eaten up eventually, and they will just observe the situation on the field.
That's true, except that as Kroos watched, his eyes went beyond the back line and involuntarily looked for Leandri who was walking around idly in the back.
The Spanish goalkeeper is really idle. Although they replaced many main players in today's game against Frankfurt, the substitutes who finally got the chance to play were eager to show all their strengths. It would be great if several clubs fought for him and begged him to come to XXX stadium with high salaries and tactical core.
20 minutes passed without Ryan making a single save. He reached his hands behind his back and tried to scratch the itchy spot with his gloves.
The score was 2-0 after twenty minutes and Frankfurt barely made it to the halftime. Leandri watched the player in front of him slowly retreat to the side of the goal post and drank water in small sips. When he saw the opponent confiscated Reinartz's long-range shot and prepared to launch a counterattack, he hurriedly threw away the water bottle and prepared to face the first challenge of the game.
The result was that Leandri's defensive partner Friedrich kicked the ball out between the legs in the center circle.
He rubbed his nose and continued walking dejectedly, but the range had expanded to outside the restricted area.
When the score was 3-0, Leandri was alone in the back waving his arms, and after the start of the game he continued to stroll dejectedly, even though his range had expanded to outside the penalty area.
During the half-time break, the defense saw their goalkeeper, Xiao Di, who had no psychological burden at all, approach Heynckes, grinning and exuding sunny skills, trying to get the head coach to agree to let him transform into a center forward in the second half.
What psychological burden is there? Heynckes is only two years older than his father. Being spoiled by the old man all day long, it is customary for him to act like a spoiled child.
And then was rejected!
Leandri didn't listen at all to Grandpa Hai's advice about conserving energy, protecting tactics, and reducing outsiders' research on you. He took out a long-sleeved base shirt from his bag and put it on himself with great sorrow.
If you don’t want to go up, then don’t go up. I have to wear more clothes or I’ll catch a cold, otherwise both of us will catch a cold tomorrow!
Cross went up to him, folded up the vest he had taken off and put it away, and whispered in his ear, "Save some energy for next time you connect with me, or at night?"
With his heart beginning to flutter again, Leandri squatted obediently in the backcourt, not moving a single step forward. Thanks to his teammates, he won a 4-0 victory today!
Heynckes is also very satisfied. Our Ryan is always well-behaved and obedient!
