Chapter 199: The Broken Team of the Pharmaceutical Factory (Various Requests)
In the face of Ronaldo's low flat ball, Jose appeared extremely calm, and he had no intention of using a plug-in.
Just now, Jose suddenly realized that if the two sides draw in 120 minutes, they will go to penalties again as they did against Atletico Madrid.
Although Casillas's form in the past two years is not as good as in the early years, as the main goalkeeper who has won the World Cup, it is not so easy to deal with.
In addition, there are not many players in the Leverkusen team who are good at taking penalties, and it can be said that except for Kiessling, who is a little more stable, the level of penalty kicks of others is not much better than that of defenders.
Therefore, Jose needs to save on the use of plug-ins.
Since you don't use plug-ins, you may not be able to save in time.
José suddenly stretched out his right foot as his figure sank, ready to use his body to block the opponent's shot.
Luckily, Jose's right foot just blocked the ball's trajectory and got it back on the spot.
Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to shoot again, but Toprak had already returned to the defence and cleared the ball straight out of the box.
At this point, one of Real Madrid's most threatening attacks was defused.
First half stoppage time.
Real Madrid were awarded another corner.
James Rodriguez is in charge of handling corners.
Driven directly into the box, Varane grabbed the first spot.
Raphael Varane opted for a direct header and the ball flew towards the top right corner.
Seeing that the ball was about to cross the goal line, Jose arrived.
I saw him leap up and at the same time stretch out his left hand towards the ball, blocking the ball from the goal line with one hand.
Once again, Jose defused his opponent's attack.
In the first half, Real Madrid had a whopping 70% possession.
It was Jose who made a high and low block to keep the goal from conceding.
Intermission.
Fans have left messages, but most of them are on paper.
In fact, at this point in the game, both sides have thoroughly figured out the details of each other.
There aren't many options to choose from.
At the start of the second half, Schmidt took the lead in making substitutions.
Brandt came off the bench and Bellaby was substituted.
Schmidt wants to use Brandt's physical advantage to attack Real Madrid's backline.
In the 48th minute, Ronaldo changed the style of the first half, and when he should have had the opportunity to head the goal, he chose to ferry the header to the left side of the penalty area.
At this time, the little pea is in a state of unmarked.
Little Pea received Ronaldo's pass and shot directly with his feet.
I don't know if I was in a hurry to make a contribution, but Little Pea's shot was missed.
As a result, Jose saved the number of times he used the plug-in.
"Little peas are really waste, and the empty doors are missed."
"A striker that Manchester United don't want, how good do you think he can be?"
Real Madrid fans have complained about Little Pea's performance.
The game continues.
Just 30 seconds later, Hernandez had another chance to shoot from his feet.
Isco passes through and the ball goes to the feet of Little Pea.
From 8 yards on the left side of the penalty area, Little Pea fired a low shot into the far corner.
At this point, Jose is on the right side of the goal.
If you want to rush to the left side of the penalty area to make a save, even if you use a plug-in, you can't be absolutely sure that it will be completed.
Jose made a decisive move forward, and he had to block the ball halfway through the roll.
"Hungry tigers pounce on food."
José lunged forward and stretched out his hands towards the ball.
It was unbelievable that Jose actually took Little Pea's shot in front of the goal and confiscated it directly.
Little Pea wasted a teammate's pass again.
The fans also sent a cordial greeting to Little Pea again.
Real Madrid are on the attack.
Unlike the first half, after the start of the second half, Ronaldo seemed to be a complete change.
Cristiano Ronaldo dropped back to pick up the ball and then advanced all the way to the left side of the box.
Hilbert makes a one-on-one interception of Cristiano Ronaldo.
At this time, in addition to keeping an eye on Ronaldo's every move, Jose also found that Ramos also rushed to Leverkusen's penalty area.
Real Madrid couldn't attack for a long time, and the Leverkusen team couldn't threaten the opponent's penalty area at all, Ramos, who served as the defensive defender in this game, was naturally unwilling to be lonely and rushed directly to the Leverkusen team's penalty area.
Ronaldo faced WinHilbert's interception, but it was just a feint, and he easily deceived the other party.
On the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo crosses with his feet.
The ball flew briefly in the air and landed in the middle of the box.
From 10 yards out, Ramos got to the ball and headed it straight at goal.
The ball flew towards the centre of the goal.
As he had already noticed the presence of Ramos, Jose was not at all surprised by Ramos's header, but only moved half a step to easily take the opponent's header into his arms.
Seeing Jose easily win his own header on goal, Ramos pouted and had no choice but to leave the penalty area.
There was still no chance of a quick counterattack.
I can't help but sigh that Ancelotti's arrangement is really leaky.
In the 65th minute, Schmidt made another substitution.
Kiessling came off the bench and was replaced by Dermic.
After Kiessling came on, he pinned down Real Madrid's backline to a certain extent.
In the 68th minute, Bayer Leverkusen finally had a good chance to score.
Brandt's cross from the right.
In front of the six-yard box, Kiessling headed home.
The ball dodged Casillas and flew towards the left side of the goal.
Seeing that he was about to cross the goal line, Pepe flew to the goal.
Right on the goal line, Pepe used his body to block Kiessling's header.
Real Madrid escaped.
A minute later, Bayer Leverkusen made a mistake at the back.
Cristiano Ronaldo makes a successful tackle.
In front of the right side of the penalty area, Ronaldo took the ball and suddenly shot a cold arrow.
He was trying to hit Jose by surprise.
However, Ronaldo miscalculated.
José is most proud of his focus on the game.
It can be said that even if his own side presses the opponent to attack, Jose will not relax in the slightest.
Therefore, Ronaldo's long-range shot was easily confiscated by Jose.
In the blink of an eye, the game has come to the final stage, and the situation on the field has not changed much.
Real Madrid had plenty of chances, but they were never able to break down Jose's goal.
In the 80th minute, in the anticipation of Real Madrid fans, a great opportunity finally ushered in.
James Rodriguez passes the ball and the ball goes to the feet of Little Pea.
Wendell stepped forward to intercept him, but was easily shaken off by Little Pea.
On the right side of the penalty area, 10 from goal, Little Pea volleys hard into the far corner.
Jose was on the right side of the goal at this time, and even if he used the "time and space timeout", it was absolutely impossible for him to rush to the left side of the goal to block the top left corner.
"Fight."
At this critical moment, Jose decisively chose to attack.
I saw him take two quick steps forward, and then leap high, while holding his right hand upward.
With all his might, Jose touched the ball, but was unable to stop it.
The ball was still flying towards the left side of the goal.
Real Madrid fans raised their hands and cheered.
However, the cheers abruptly stopped.
After Jose's touch, the ball deviated slightly from its original flight path and eventually grazed the post and missed the bottom line.
Seeing the ball fly off the baseline, the cheers rang out again.
Only this time, it was the Leverkusen fans who cheered.
Seeing that the ball was blocked by himself, Jose smiled with satisfaction.
If someone asks after the game, what is Jose's most satisfying save for himself.
José will not hesitate to tell the other party that this is the time.
The minutes of the game passed.
The score on the field was still 0-0.
Fans on both sides stood up in prayer.
Unfortunately, God is too busy to pay attention to their prayers.
In the 88th minute, Real Madrid had an absolute chance.
James Rodriguez passes through and the ball reaches Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo forced his way into the right side of the box.
Papadopoulos stepped forward to make a close interception.
Under the interference of Papadopoulos, Ronaldo lost his center of gravity.
Just when everyone thought Ronaldo was about to fall to the ground, Ronaldo made a surprising move.
He did fall to the ground, but before he fell to the ground, he passed the ball to the little pea at the penalty spot.
At such a critical moment, Ronaldo was thinking about passing the ball to his teammates.
Little Pea received a pass from Ronaldo and swept the bottom left corner at the first time.
At this time, Jose was on the right side of the goal in order to block Ronaldo's shot.
No way, under normal circumstances, Jose would definitely not have had time to rush to the left side of the goal to make a save.
It can be said that under normal circumstances, this is a must-score goal.
Real Madrid will knock out their opponents with this goal and thus advance to the last four.
Jose knows that the Bayer Leverkusen team is already at an existential stake.
Without any hesitation, he resorted to the "pause of time and space".
With an extra second to react, Jose was able to rush to the left side of the goal.
There was no time to save, and in desperation, Jose could only stretch out his right foot and block the bottom left corner of the goal.
In this way, Jose used his foot to block Little Pea's must-score goal.
Jose single-handedly saved the Bayer Leverkusen team from the death line.
Real Madrid still failed to win.
There will be five minutes of stoppage time.
Carlo Ancelotti didn't make a single substitution.
With injuries to Bale, Karim Benzema and Luka Modric, there aren't many people Ancelotti can trust.
In the end, the two sides played to a 0-0 draw in the regular game.
This also means that extra time is inevitable.
"I can't stand it, the broken team of the pharmaceutical factory has average strength, so I relied on the goalkeeper's super performance, and it dragged it to overtime."
"Simeone: You know my suffering, right?"
"Why a goalkeeper?"
Amid the complaints of the fans, overtime began.
Carlo Ancelotti still hasn't made any substitutions, is he ready to use 11 men to play to the penalty shoot-out?
In addition to Carlo Ancelotti, who did not make any substitutions, Schmidt also retained the last substitution.
In the first half of extra time, the score remained unchanged.
In order to save Ronaldo's shot, Jose used up another number of clay-ups.
In the second half of extra time, Ancelotti finally started to make substitutions.
Khedira came off the bench to replace Raphael Varane.
As a result, Ramos will return to central defence and build the last line of defence in front of goal alongside Pepe.
Ancelotti's substitution was not intended to strengthen the attack, but to prepare for the penalty shootout later.
As for Schmidt, he also gave up the last substitution in the end.
In the end, in the second half of extra time, the score on the field still did not change.
It's unbelievable that the attacking Real Madrid team couldn't score a single goal in two legs.
There was no way, the two sides could only decide the final winner through penalty shootouts.
Next, every game counts.
