The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 51 The end of a journey
  Before the game started, Leo took a look at his current status.

Berbatov's template matching degree reached 68%, and Leo's personal panel also changed accordingly.

Name: Leo

Age: 17 years old

Strength rating: A
  talent:

S level, injury insulator, dribbling master

Grade A, big heart, super ball feel

That's right, when the matching degree increased to 66, Leo unlocked Brother Xiaosa's second talent, Dribbling Master!
  Just looking at the improvement brought to him in terms of ability, Leo is already a solid top player in the top league.

Coupled with the additional talent bonus, to be honest, if Ramos had not abandoned him, the first few games would not have been so difficult.

In particular, Tottenham's offensive players in the frontcourt have become accustomed to Leo's organization and passing. Suddenly replaced by Zocola, Hoddlestone and the like, it is not surprising that the team's offensive level plummeted.

Of course, these improvements are inseparable from Leo's own efforts, and the sweat he puts in on the training ground day after day has not been in vain.

But at the same time, without system assistance, he would not have been able to improve so quickly.

The last time Tottenham played against the Red Army, Tottenham drew 2-2 with their opponents. Leo's performance in that game was average and he did not score any goals or assists.

Today, Leo just wanted to use Liverpool as his opponent to test his current level and how much he has improved.

But as I said before, this game is of little significance to both teams, and the situation on the court after the opening also reflected this.

Until the ninth minute, there was no decent offensive cooperation between the two sides, and there was not even a shot that hit the goal frame.

Kuyt passed the ball, and Voronin's long shot from outside the penalty area was saved by Tottenham goalkeeper Czerny.

Soon after, Leo dribbled the ball forward from the center, and Tottenham players in the frontcourt rushed forward. This familiar scene shocked the Tottenham fans in the stands.

They didn't think it was anything before, until Leo disappeared from the starting lineup and Tottenham's offense was always constipated on the field, they realized how rare this scene was.

There are other players in Tottenham's squad who are capable of carrying the ball forward, but the key is the next step.

After advancing the ball into the frontcourt, it is a bit difficult to quickly find the loopholes in the opponent's defense and pass the ball to the teammates who are running out of space in time.

Mascherano was met with a fierce tackle that fell to the ground. Leo's ability to control the ball greatly exceeded the opponent's expectations.

Deftly controlling the ball at his feet, Leo turned around and elegantly avoided the Argentine's tackle.

Then facing Gerald Leo, who was defending, he slowed down, his upper body shook, and he suddenly turned to the right and accelerated, breaking away from the Liverpool captain and breaking through to the front of the penalty area.

After passing two defensive players, Leo also felt that his condition was a bit hot. He quickly buckled the angle before the Red Army central defender Skrtel could grab the ball and launched a flying kick!
  In those days when he had no chance to play, Leo did not relax for a day. In addition to basic training, free kicks and long shots were also something he practiced every day.

The outside instep hit the ball hard, and Reina stood guard in front of the Liverpool goal, staring at the trajectory of Leo's shot.

The Liverpool goalkeeper flew to save, and his fingertips were about to touch the ball!

The spinning ball drew a strange arc, and unexpectedly one of them passed around Reina's hand!
  Leo's outside instep shot from the edge of the penalty area went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!
  The ball went in! One to zero!

Surrounded by his teammates, Leo came to the corner flag area.

He no longer celebrated wildly by shooting arrows, but silently raised his hands and clapped.

Leo was expressing his gratitude to all the Tottenham fans in the stands.

"Leo! Stay!"    "Can you not leave? Leo, we love you!"

"Leo, you are the best!"

Sometimes these fans are quite cute, aren't they?

Leo was smiling, but his eyes were a little red unconsciously, and he waved again to the Lily Legion supporters.

Yes, this year, Leo encountered some messy things, but overall, his season at Tottenham was relatively smooth, and he basically achieved all his goals.

When the day comes to say goodbye, it is inevitable that there will be some reluctance.

Liverpool head coach Benitez watched all this calmly from the sidelines, with no intention of giving any instructions to the players on the field.

The visiting team, which was lagging behind, cheered up a little. Gerrard made a direct pass, but Torres' shot in the penalty area was blocked by Czerny with his legs.

It is really hard to imagine that with Torres at his peak and top stars such as Gerrard and Mascherano, Liverpool has never been able to win the Premier League championship in these years.

Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, except for Blackburn once, Wenger and Mourinho led Arsenal and Chelsea to win twice respectively. All the other Premier League titles have been won by Ferguson, and this year is no exception.

Should we say that the competition in the Premier League is too fierce? Or is Manchester United's dominance too strong?

Maybe only when Ferguson retires, the same players will not even be able to make the top four in the hands of others, let alone the championship.

Only then did everyone realize that Manchester United's results were actually due to the head coach. Those players were brought to a height that did not belong to them by Ferguson.

In the 25th minute, Torres was tackled head-on by Dawson. Mascherano's free kick went to the back of the penalty area. Kuyt and others failed to win the ball.

Leo moved to the left, Malblanque made a pass, and Berbatov's header was saved by Reina.

Both sides put more energy into the midfield battle.

Neither team had any threatening offense in the second half of the first half, and Tottenham temporarily led 1-0 at the end of the half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Ramos made personnel adjustments, and Helstone and Tenio replaced Leo and Janus.

Maybe the Spaniard feels that it's almost done and can't let Leo play anymore. Otherwise, wouldn't it make him even more stupid as a head coach who refuses to use Leo and causes the team to lose consecutive games?

In the 61st minute, Arbeloa sent a long pass from the backcourt, Torres headed the ball over, and Voronin scored with a poke!

Liverpool, playing away from home, finally scored and evened the score under continuous attacks!

In the 74th minute, Benayoun passed the ball. Torres broke through Dawson and shot into the net from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area!
  Two to one!

Liverpool scored two goals in a row to overtake the score!

The camera focused on the livid Tottenham coach Ramos on the sidelines.

After his substitution, Bai Lily completely lost control of the midfield, and the offense could not pose any threat to the visiting team's goal.

If Liverpool hadn't slowed down their pace after taking the lead and had no strong desire to attack, the home team would have conceded at least two more goals to start the game.

In the end, Tottenham lost 1-2 at home to visiting Liverpool, ending the season with a defeat.

Leo originally wanted to help the team defeat the opponent and say goodbye with a victory. Unfortunately, the head coach's mindless interference prevented him from achieving what he wanted.

At the end of the game, Leo stayed on the court for a long time and refused to leave.
