Chapter 192: Advancing to the Top 8 (Various Requests)

"I don't need to fight you psychologically, I suggest that you better take good precautions first, there is no harm to you." José saw Oblak's thoughts and continued.

"Okay, come on." Oblak tightened his gloves and shouted as he checked the protective gear on his body to make sure it was okay.

"Then you have to be careful."

After Jose finished speaking, he found the focus of the ball, and then gently placed the ball on the penalty spot.

After lengthening the run-up distance, Jose glanced firmly in the direction of the goal before taking a deep breath.

Start, accelerate, touch the ball, all in one go.

"Bang."

With a bang, the ball was instantly in front of the left goal line.

Oblak pounced in the right direction, but he couldn't touch the ball at all, and the ball was already past before he could reach it.

Jose kicked the ball too fast.

"Oh my God, the test results show that Jose's shot has reached a speed of 220 mph." The on-site narrator looked at the data in front of him and screamed in disbelief.

"220 mph, is it a world record?"

"No, the world record is 222 mph."

"That's pretty much it."

Fans are hotly discussed.

At this moment, the data displayed on the screen suddenly changed, from the original 220 to 223.

"Wait, after recalculation, Jose's exact speed is 223 mph, and a new world record is born." The on-site commentator said excitedly.

Jose set a new world record in an official competition.

It was an incredible thing to have a goalkeeper blast the ball to beat the record speed.

As we all know, at present, in the world, those who can play heavy artillery speed are basically full-back players.

Jose's new world record will inevitably attract the attention of all teams, because at this speed, it is completely possible to shoot directly at the opponent's goal from within his own penalty area.

This also means that any goalkeeper who faces Jose will have to be wary of whether he will hit the goal directly and vigorously.

Regarding this concern of other teams, Jose said that it is completely unnecessary.

He can do hit the goal with a big kick, but the speed of the ball will drop dramatically after the half-court, and the length of the standard pitch will reach 105 meters, and the ball will become extremely slow when it reaches the opposite penalty area.

In addition, shooting from a distance of 100 meters, even if Jose's free kick skills are good, it is difficult to ensure its accuracy.

'Thankfully, Oblak couldn't get his hands on the ball, otherwise he would have been injured.' Said the live commentator.

"Congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen, who successfully advanced to the last eight of the Champions League with Jose's powerful kick." Said the on-site commentator.

"yes, we won."

Bayer Leverkusen players flocked to Jose, drowning him in the crowd.

"You've got me under pressure." José protested.

However, there were still people who kept coming around.

Helpless, José could only let them press himself to the grass.

"Who grabbed my brother!" Suddenly, an angry scream rang out.

"Shameless."

"Indecent."

"Phew."

All the players pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and then dispersed in a hurry.

"Looks like it's still a good trick." Seeing that his teammates finally dispersed, the corners of Jose's mouth rose slightly.

It turned out that this scream was pretended by Jose.

Rising from the grass, Jose moved and turned to walk to the Leverkusen fan stand.

In any case, the fans have come all the way with the team to Spain, and they still have to thank them.

The next day, the media reported that Bayer Leverkusen had advanced to the last eight.

Jose's performance in the penalty shoot-out was repeatedly mentioned by the media, and inevitably, Chelsea and Mourinho were also brought out.

Just last week, Chelsea drew 1-1 at home to Grand Paris, and the previous 1-1 draw in the first leg ended up in extra-time to keep the net clean and end up in the last 16.

It has been assumed that Jose should be able to lead Chelsea to the last eight if he stays in the squad.

So a new round of condemnation of Mourinho began.

For the condemnation of the outside world, with Mourinho's character, how can he acquiesce?

'I'm the manager of Chelsea, I've won two Champions Leagues before that, so I chose whoever I chose for technical reasons. These are Mourinho's words.

Originally, Mourinho didn't reply to the media and didn't know how to continue to compile news, but now he responded, which instantly caused countless media reporters to climax.

In these years, Mourinho is the flow.

Whether it's saying good things about him or bad things about him, as long as you talk about Mourinho, there must be traffic.

This made the topic of José originally discussed all shift to Mourinho.

Of course, all this, José did not know.

Unlike other players who love online media, he rarely pays attention to information online.

As for reading the newspaper? It's even more unlikely.

As the season progresses, there are only two months left until the end of the season.

What Jose can achieve in his first season in the Bundesliga will depend on the performance of him and his teammates over the next two months.

Ahead of the weekend's league fixtures, UEFA held the draw for the Champions League and Europa League match-ups.

Among the teams that advanced to the top 8, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are undoubtedly the strongest four teams, while Juventus, Porto, and Monaco are slightly lacking.

As for Bayer Leverkusen, it is called the Champions League gift package by fans.

"Don't guess, the gift package must be Barcelona's."

"I think it's more likely to be Juventus, it was Jose who won the title last year against Juventus. Isn't the topic of revenge? ”

"If you want revenge, it's also big Paris, Jose is a Chelsea player."

"Can't it be Real Madrid?"

Jose never imagined that the team he was in would become a sweet spot in the eyes of other giants.

But it's no wonder that other giants think so.

In Bayer Leverkusen's team, Jose is one of the players Mourinho does not want.

The team's top scorer, Kiessling, is hardly top-notch.

Calhanoglu midfield is okay, but there is still some distance from the master.

As for Son Xingchou, he has the potential to become a first-class star, but it is not enough at the moment.

The only thing that deserves attention is the defense.

In the final draw, Bayer Leverkusen drew the defending champion Real Madrid, and the first leg was scheduled for April 14, and Bayer Leverkusen still played at home first.

As soon as the results came out, everyone thought that UEFA was escorting Real Madrid to the top four.

Real Madrid's CBB combination, although the number of goals is not as many as Barcelona's MSN, but there are almost no teams in the world that can withstand their attacks.

Also considered to be in the last four is Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich, who drew Portuguese side Porto.

In fact, this season, Casemiro's Porto midfielder has not performed badly, and he, like Jose, is on loan from his own club.

At Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti prefers to trust Kroos, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's the new local tyrant Paris, who met the Barcelona team that is in full swing.

When these two teams meet, it can definitely be regarded as Mars hitting the Earth.

Don't think about the match against Real Madrid, because the 26th round of the Bundesliga continues.

In this round of the game, the top five teams, except for Wolfsburg against the average strength of Mainz, the remaining four teams fought against each other.

Bayer Leverkusen take on fifth-placed Schalke 04 away, while Bayern Munich host fourth-placed Borussia Mönchengladbach.

On March 21, Bayer Leverkusen played the first match against Schalke 04.

Starting list.

Schmidt made four changes compared to the midweek game against Atletico.

Kiessling, Rolfes, Brandt, and Papadopoulos were given starts, while Dermic, Calhanoglu, Russ Bender, and Toprak were on the bench.

As for Schalke 04, in addition to changing the back three, the main goalkeeper Ferman was absent due to injury, and the young goalkeeper Willen Reut got the chance to start.

In addition, talented youngster Leroy Sane continues to get a starting role after entering the first team.

At the beginning of the season, in the first leg between the two teams, Jedwai came off the bench and was sent off with a straight red card, which became the focus of that game.

Now Yedwai has officially joined the pharmaceutical company, but he has been unable to enter the squad for a long time due to continuous injuries, and it is estimated that fans have forgotten about him.

It is worth noting that Bayer Leverkusen paid a full £7.2 million (90+ 630 on loan + 630 on an official transfer) to acquire Yedwai to sign him from Roma.

However, now it seems that this deal is not a good deal.

With the referee's whistle, the game began.

Schalke 04 kicks off first.

They opted to push directly down the flanks and then pass the ball high into the box.

Huntelaar had the first shot on goal.

It's a pity that he didn't play with power, the ball speed was average, and it was directly confiscated by Jose.

Jose took a quick goal kick and it got to Brandt.

A quick counter-attack opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen.

It's a pity that Bellarabi's shot went high.

In the 11th minute, Sane retreated to the side to win the ball.

was about to break through, but was directly put down by Hilbert.

Hilbert got the first Topaz card of the game.

Schalke 04 won a free kick on the left side of the field.

Fuchs takes a free-kick opportunity.

He opted to hit the door directly.

The ball is fast, but the angle is average, and it is not difficult for Jose at all.

Jose took a step to the left, then jumped up lightly and easily took the opponent's shot with both hands.

Glancing at the front of the field, Jose found that there was no chance of a quick counter-attack.

In this way, you can only wait for the players of both sides to exit the penalty area before kicking off the goal kick.

As more and more people become aware of the strength and precision of Jose's serve, they will try to keep one or two defenders at the back against Bayer Leverkusen to prevent Jose from creating a threat by quickly opening up a goal kick.

Jose understands that the old way of driving big quickly is about to start changing.

In fact, with the enrichment of tactics, the goalkeeper position has become the most common way to divert the attack.

The Bundesliga is completely different from the Champions League.

For the first 30 minutes, the two sides went back and forth.

Despite the fierce scramble, there were not many fouls.

Both sides shot one after another, but neither of them could find the back of the net.

In just half an hour, Jose had already made four crucial saves, more than in 90 minutes in the Champions League in midweek.

"Why do I think this game is better than the Champions League game in midweek?"

"I don't think it's better than that game."

"The game against Atletico Madrid, it's hell if it's good."

Fans are complaining about Simeone's team's dirty way of playing, but Schmidt's team is not much clean, right?

In the 35th minute, Bayer Leverkusen had a good chance to score.
