Chapter 194: Before the Match with Real Madrid (Various Requests)

In fact, Jose still feels a little sorry for the German Cup, but the head coach has arranged it like this, and he has nothing to say.

In modern football, it is too difficult to win the treble.

If a player is injured because of greed, the loss is huge.

Of course, it is also wrong to give up lightly.

After the game, fans who supported Guashi Bayern believed that as long as Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen won the direct confrontation later, then the Bundesliga championship would still be Gua's Bayern.

Jose's training is still very serious, and the experience of countless older players tells Jose that the vast majority of players grow up between 20 and 23 years old.

Because at this age, the body has begun to slowly shape, and the player's individual skills will be gradually polished during this period.

became famous at a young age, but because of the precious growth period, he failed to polish himself well, and there are never a few geniuses who finally wasted.

Piason, who was once expected by Chelsea, is now looking more and more mediocre.

Jose knows very well in his heart that with his original qualifications, he can only go on the path of a third-rate professional player at most, and there is no difference from his previous life.

The emergence of the system has given Jose the hope of growing into a top player.

The system is undoubtedly powerful, but it is not a panacea.

In fact, José never dared to wonder where the system came from.

The weekend wasn't too difficult.

On April 11, Bayer Leverkusen will travel to the Opel Arena to take on 12th-placed Mainz.

The only change in the starting line-up for this game was Jedwai's return from injury, replacing Spašić as a left centre-back.

In the rest of the positions, Schmidt played the main force.

Although the match against Real Madrid is just four days away, it is the most serious blow to morale if the game is lost in order to stay strong.

Bayer Leverkusen kick off first.

After a pass, the ball reached José's feet.

God's perspective opened, and Jose found that the opponent was also in a balanced 4231 formation.

Not finding a good way to get the ball out, Jose distributed the ball to Toprak in front of him.

A back-and-forth battle of attack and defense begins.

The midfield scramble was fierce and the number of fouls increased.

In the 6th minute, the opposing winger Gu Jizhe came to the left side to get the ball.

Diagonally in the box, the ball reached the feet of Shinji Okazaki.

The two players who came from Japan at the same time naturally had a better understanding with each other than the others.

Shinji Okazaki took the ball sideways and finished with his feet under the pressure of Yedwai.

The ball flew towards the left side of the goal.

It's not hard for Jose at all.

With a leap, Jose confiscated the ball directly.

Mainz's first shot from inside the goal was easily cleared by Jose.

In the 15th minute, Calhanoglu received a pass from Hilbert on the right.

An attempt to burst into the box was fruitless, and Calhanoglu picked up a cross from the distance.

He saw the unmarked Son Heung-chou smashing into the box from the left.

On the left side of the small penalty area in Mainz, Son Xingchou received a pass from his teammates and volleyed directly.

The ball went in.

Bayer Leverkusen lead away.

Mainz began to organise counter-attacks, and they were firmly in possession but struggled to find a shot on goal.

At the end of the first half, Jose made just one save.

And the same goes for the opposing goalkeeper.

At halftime, fans left messages.

"This is the team at the top of the table? was pressed and beaten by Mainz, and he shot at goal in the entire first half, and actually went in. ”

"As far as the performance of the pharmaceutical factory is concerned, wait for the tragedy of our emperor three days later."

"Picked up a big gift bag here, don't be slapped in the face when the time comes."

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

After the opening, Schmidt made the first substitution.

Rolfes came off the bench and Bellaraby was substituted.

For the midweek game, the physical distribution still needs to be done well.

In the 59th minute, Bayer Leverkusen scored again, and Hilbert crossed from the side.

Kiessling headed straight home.

2 to 0.

It was Leverkusen's third shot on target.

The game continues.

In the 60th minute, Gu Zizhe shot from outside the penalty area, but it was directly confiscated by Jose.

In the 66th minute, 12 yards in the penalty area, Shinji Okazaki received a pass from his teammates and hit the goal with a direct header, but was blocked by Jose with a single punch.

In the 69th minute, Malle HLD suddenly shot a cold arrow, and the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.

However, he still couldn't escape Jose's ten fingers, and he blocked the bottom line with one hand.

In succession, Mainz's shots failed to threaten Jose at all.

In the 73rd minute, Bayer Leverkusen got a free kick opportunity in front.

Calhanoglu takes the penalty.

Hit the door directly.

3 to 0.

There seems to be no suspense in the game.

Mainz fans began to leave the stadium one after another.

However, it doesn't end there.

In the 78th minute, Shinji Okazaki forced his way into the penalty area with the ball.

Toprak defended too much and took down the opponent as a result.

Bayer Leverkusen were awarded a penalty.

If it was a normal time, Jose would naturally not take this penalty seriously.

But now, in order to prepare for the first leg against Real Madrid in three days' time.

Jose must have enough cheats to keep up.

In other words, Jose needs to rely on his own saving ability to save this penalty.

Gu Zizhe was in charge of the penalty kick.

Bayer Leverkusen fans and players looked at ease.

Only José looked serious.

Gu Zizhe didn't have too many fancy moves, and volleyed directly to the upper left.

Jose got the right direction, but he was still a little bit off in the end.

The ball went in.

Mainz recovered a point.

Schmidt continued to make substitutions, with Dermic and Brandt coming off the bench successively, while Kiessling and Calhanoglu were given the opportunity to take off early.

In Schmidt's view, Mainz's recovery of a goal is nothing.

The game continues.

Stoppage time.

Substitute Hailo picked up the ball on the wing, got past Wendell and burst into the right side of the box.

When he was still trying to advance, Jedwai blocked his way.

Jedwai stretched out his foot to poke the ball away, but instead of touching it, it hit the opponent's calf.

Bayer Leverkusen were awarded a penalty again.

A game that was supposed to be nine out of ten won ended up giving the opponent two penalties in a row, which is too generous.

Jose shook his head slightly and sighed secretly.

It was still Gu Zizhe who was responsible for the penalty kick.

Like the first time, the difference is that this time he chose to volley to the top right.

At the moment when the opponent touched the ball, Jose had already guessed the direction of the opponent's shot.

Leap up and pounce towards the right side of the goal.

This time, Jose blocked the opposition's penalty.

However, the ball that was blocked was rolling in the direction of Gu Zizhe.

The players of the Bayer Leverkusen team were obviously half a beat slower, and they simply did not have time to enter the penalty area to help clear the ball.

In the face of the rebounding ball, Gu Zizhe shot directly into the bottom left corner.

3 to 2.

Mainz pulled one back again.

For Mainz's second penalty, Jose saved, but not completely.

Jose cannot be blamed for this conceded goal, even if Yashin is reborn, it is impossible to control the direction of the rebound of the blocked ball when he saves a penalty.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mainz.

Thanks to Bayern's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the same time, Neuer's tally of clean sheets increased by one to 19, just three short of Jose's clean sheets.

Neuer is not without a chance of a comeback.

As for the points gap between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern, it remains the same.

It's too early to say who the Bundesliga title will be.

Bayer Leverkusen's match against Mainz didn't attract much attention.

More attention will be paid to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

On April 14, the Champions League quarterfinals were played in the first two games.

Juventus host Monaco and it is widely believed that Juventus should be able to win.

As for the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid, people are unanimously optimistic that Real Madrid can beat the pharmaceutical factory home and away.

Only the European spinach company, they actually offered the odds of a tie.

"Don't be fooled, this is a spinach company." Someone said it conclusively.

For the words of these fans, the real fans smiled heartily and did not refute them.

Thanks to Bale's timely return from injury, Real Madrid was able to play their main role.

In the pre-match press interview, the reporter interviewed Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale: "For this game, you think you can score a few goals. ”

'I've watched the footage of Bayer Leverkusen's match against Atletico and know their goalkeeper is good, but I'll score. Cristiano Ronaldo said.

'I don't need to score goals, my job is not to score goals. These are the words of Benzema.

'I've played against Jose and he's been good, but we're a team. Bell said.

Real Madrid's BBC combination is very confident.

Of course, there were also reporters who wanted to interview José, but José avoided him.

Although it is not a battle of the century, with the popularity of Real Madrid, the fans who follow this game exceed 600 million.

In the major live chat rooms, the barrage is rolling, and the articles are all "Come on Ronaldo", "Come on the Magic Flute", "Come on Bale" and so on.

Just when the major live broadcast commentators were talking, the starting lists of both sides were announced.

Bayer Leverkusen, who were suspended due to Toplak's accumulation of yellow cards, failed to make the squad, and Papadopoulos started in his place.

Schmidt discharged a balanced 4231 formation, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Wendell, Spašić, Papadopoulos, Hilbert.

Two midfielders: Russ Bender, Castro.

Attacking defenders: Son Heung-chou, Calhanoglu, Belarabi.

Centre: Kiessling.

In addition, Dermic, Rolfes, Brandt, Donati, and Leno sat on the bench and were ready to follow Schmidt's instructions.

After two-thirds of the season, the starting list of the Bayer Leverkusen team can be imagined without guessing.

As for Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti lined up a highly aggressive 433 formation, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal.

Midfielders: Rodriguez, Kroos, Modric.

Forwards: C-Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale.

In addition, there were Navas, Pepe, Arbeloa, Khedira, Isco and others sitting on the bench.

Real Madrid's squad is not insignificant, with players worth nearly twice as much as Leverkusen.

This match, no matter how you look at it, will be a one-sided slaughter for Real Madrid.

As for Bayer Leverkusen having home advantage?

In the face of absolute strength, the so-called home advantage is as fragile as a paper tiger.

Today is 28, and there is a double event for monthly passes, so please support it.
