Chapter 193: A Tacit Ball (Various Requests)
Spašić passes the ball back to Jose.
Sane stepped forward to press.
Before Sane got closer, Jose spotted Rolfes unmarked in the centre circle.
Jose made a long pass directly to Rolfes.
Rolfes took the ball and pushed straight forward.
Near HLD, Rolfes crosses diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.
The ball goes to the feet of Bellarabi.
From 15 yards in front of goal, Bellarabi shot directly with his feet.
At this time, there are only 3 defenders in the opponent's penalty area.
The ball easily slipped past the opposition defence and bounced past the post.
In this game, Willenreut's overall performance was not bad, but in the face of Bellabi, he did not block it in time, which allowed Bellarabi to shoot.
Bayer Leverkusen lead 1-0 away.
"The pharmaceutical company scored first, this game can not be watched, Schalke 04 lost." A fan left a message, and then left the live chat room.
"Can't you just see how many goals you score?"
"What kind of people do you think people who only look at winning and losing?"
"Bet on the dog."
Unexpectedly, everyone was completely unanimous.
However, the fan who left early was not wrong, and in the end Bayer Leverkusen won 1-0 away.
Schalke 04 had a total of 13 shots on goal and 5 shots on target, but unfortunately all of them were taken by Jose.
Sometimes, the threat of a shot from a different player is completely different.
After the victory, Bayer Leverkusen continued to hold firmly at the top of the table.
A day later, Bayern lost at home to Borussia Mönchen, breaking Bayern's unbeaten streak at home and creating the biggest upset of the round.
In this way, Leverkusen's advantage was extended to four points.
Bayer Leverkusen's chances of forgiveness have improved.
After the match against Schalke 04, the national team will be played again from March 27 to April 1.
All the international players have left the team to report to their respective national teams.
José did not leave the team, but continued to stay at the training base for training.
With two months to go, he has to give it his all and win at least one or two heavyweight trophies.
Havertz began to show his spirituality.
I have to say that he is indeed very suitable for the position of hidden striker.
Diligence, good sense of small-scale cooperation, and excellent ability to grab points, but the physical fitness is a little worse, in the words of the fans, there is no speed, no confrontation, and the ball style is too soft.
Jose didn't say much about Havertz's choice.
Although Jose can imagine, one day in the future, Havertz may be plagued by the choices he has today.
But how can a young person really grow up without experiencing some setbacks?
In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed.
José is training in addition to training.
He didn't follow any of the national teams' matches.
Although there were matches (Montenegro at home against Russia) that were directly decided due to fan riots, and there were also upsets such as Bulgaria's 2-2 draw at home to Italy, none of them had anything to do with Jose.
On April 4, the 27th round of the Bundesliga continued.
Bayer Leverkusen host 16th-placed Hamburg.
For this game, the outside world believes that it will not be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to win, and the only focus is whether Hamburg can score.
Just because 26 rounds of league games have been played, the number of goals conceded by Bayer Leverkusen is only 6, which is too conspicuous in the five major leagues.
In fact, every time Bayer Leverkusen plays now, people's attention is always on whether Bayer Leverkusen will concede goals.
Hamburg kicked off first.
It's just that their offense can't break through the back line of the pharmaceutical factory at all.
From God's point of view, the opponent's offensive line was clearly observed by Jose.
If it is a team of the level of Huang Saren, Jose can't fully understand their offensive routines, but the offensive routines of the Hamburg team, Jose can see them clearly and thoroughly at a glance.
Therefore, although the Hamburg team has a lot of time to get the ball, as long as it is close to the range of the Leverkusen penalty area, it will inevitably be destroyed.
In the 7th minute, Hamburg was forced to fall at the back.
As a result, a scene that worried the hearts of Hamburg fans appeared.
Julu mismade a pass and the ball was cut off by Bellarabi.
After Velarabi broke the ball, he shifted as soon as possible.
The ball reached Castro's feet.
On the edge of the Hamburg penalty area, Castro shoots with his feet.
The ball turned into a white light and headed straight for the top right corner of the goal.
Hamburg goalkeeper Adler couldn't react and could only watch the ball fly into the net.
With Castro's goal, Bayer Leverkusen had an early lead.
With the score behind, the Hamburg team began to intensify their attack.
In the 21st minute, Toprak fouled in front of the penalty area and got a Topaz card.
Hamburg also won a free-kick on the left side of the pitch.
The penalty spot was only about 22 yards from the goal.
Nikola Muller took the free-kick and he opted to hit straight at goal.
The ball flew around the wall and towards the top right corner of the goal.
It was Hamburg's first shot inside the goal, and I have to say that Muller's shot was very beautiful, and under normal circumstances, it would probably go in.
It's a pity that the one who guards the door is José.
In the face of high-altitude balls, Jose can be said to be very relaxed these days.
I saw his figure sway, then jumped high, and then blocked the opponent's shot with one hand.
The ball that was blocked was cleared out of the penalty area by Papadopoulos as soon as possible.
And just like that, Hamburg's first shot came to an end.
Surprisingly, the Hamburg team, which had 50 percent possession, only hit this shot inside the goal in the whole game.
Therefore, in the following game time, Jose became the one who pointed fingers on the field.
Hamburg could do nothing about it, and they found that no matter what angle they attacked, they would be easily intercepted by Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite the grievances of the Hamburg team, the game was not over.
In the 44th minute, Castro crossed from the wing.
Kiessling rushes to the top in front of the goal.
As a result, the ball went in again.
2 to 0.
At half-time, the Hamburg fans began to leave the stadium.
Under normal circumstances, the fans of a team like Hamburg are die-hard fans, and they generally do not have any performance requirements for the team.
Now that he has left the field early, there is really no hope of scoring.
The backline led by Jose is now famous in the Bundesliga.
Originally, one Guardiola had already made other Bundesliga teams despair.
Now, Schmidt has even rented Jose, making the Leverkusen team's defense even more perverted.
Bundesliga fans have a hard time understanding why Jose Mourinho would abandon the use of peerless talents like Jose and De Bruyne.
In the 56th minute of the second half, Kiessling picked up a leak in front of the goal and scored a follow-up shot.
3 to 0.
At this point, there is no suspense left.
However, the game was not over yet, and Hamburg were unable to score, which did not mean that Bayer Leverkusen could not score.
In the 63rd minute, it was the same as the first goal.
Bellarabi passes the ball to Castro who is plugged in behind him.
Castro burst into the right side of the box with the ball and hit the goal with his feet.
The ball rolls into the net from the near post.
4 to 0.
At this point, the remaining game time has become completely garbage time.
After this game, Bayer Leverkusen not only maintained the points lead, but also kept the number of goals conceded unchanged.
The next day, the media began to repeat the story of whether Bayer Leverkusen really wanted to break Chelsea's record of 15 goals conceded in the league.
In addition, the question of whether Bayer Leverkusen can go unbeaten this season has also been raised.
Of course, few people would think that Bayer Leverkusen will be able to complete the season unbeaten because Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich still have a second leg to play.
As for the Bundesliga Golden Glove award, it is believed that with seven rounds left in the league, Jose has completed 22 clean sheets, much higher than Neuer's 18, and there is no suspense that Jose will win the Golden Glove award.
"I really envy the back line and goalkeeper of the pharmaceutical factory." This is the most lamented sentence by fans.
Because of this, the German Cup, which was originally unnoticed, has attracted the attention of most fans.
Four days later, on April 8, the quarter-finals of the German Cup began.
According to the draw, Bayer Leverkusen will host Bayern Munich.
In this game, Jose did not play, and Leno got the opportunity to start for a long time.
Although there are not many players rotated between the two sides, it is difficult to describe the intensity of this game
Fans who have watched this game have a feeling that neither side wants to win.
Bayern patronized possession but did not shoot.
And the Bayer Leverkusen team, as long as they have the opportunity, they will be blindfolded.
Bayern had 71 per cent possession throughout the game, but they managed only nine shots on goal and only three shots from inside the goal.
For Bayer Leverkusen, although they completed 19 shots on goal, they only hit 3 shots inside the goal.
The two sides played 0-0 in the space of 90 minutes.
There was no way, the two sides went into extra time.
At the start of extra time, Schmidt began to make substitutions.
Papadopoulos came off the bench and defensive stalwart Spašić was replaced.
"Match-fixing, this is definitely match-fixing." Some fans shouted.
"At a glance, how can there be substitutions who don't want to strengthen the attack, but replace the main defender."
Schmidt, of course, doesn't know about the voices of these fans, and even if he does, he also says that the substitutions are just to give the players on the field more rest.
Because next week, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals will begin.
In the end, the extra time ended, and the score of the two sides was still 0-0.
Jose didn't play throughout.
There was no choice but to take penalties.
In the penalty shootout, Leno allowed Bayern to make 5 of 5 free throws, which was unbelievable.
You know, in the past two seasons, looking at the top five leagues, Leno has saved the most penalties except Jose.
And Bayer Leverkusen on the penalty taker side.
Delmic, who was the first to appear, flew straight away.
Bender, Castro and Calhanoglu all scored but fell behind on aggregate.
I wonder if anyone doubts that Neuer, who is known as the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, really can't save Bender's penalty?
Either way, Bayer Leverkusen are in the quarterfinals of the German Cup.
Bayern, on the other hand, lost to Borussia Dortmund on penalties in the next knockout round.
In the end, it was Wolfsburg who won the championship.
How many people can think of this result?
Dizzy, I always forget to explain some things.
