Chapter 204: God Is on My Side (Various Requests)

Vidal was just five yards away.

Although the ball was not too fast, no one expected Jose to be able to block Vidal's attack.

At this time, Jose, who was in the middle, had just landed with his feet.

In the minutes of a few tenths of a second, rushing to the right side of the goal to make a save, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit ridiculous.

But such a ridiculous thing really happened.

As soon as Jose's toes touched the ground, he retreated towards the right side of the goal at lightning speed, without the slightest pause.

"Damn, is this a movie?" Someone exclaimed.

"Jose is not human, he is definitely a robot." Some fans started babbling.

"You're not human. Jose debuted from Villa, joined Chelsea, went on loan to a pharmaceutical company, and I don't know how many medical exams he has undergone, do you say those who do medical exams are stupid? ”

"No matter what he does, some people can't do it themselves, and they feel that no one in this world can do it."

In fact, human beings have always been in the process of evolution.

Take the 100-meter sprint as an example, a hundred years ago he was a champion athlete who ran 12 seconds, and now the world record is within 10 seconds, and most players can reach it within 12 seconds of the 100 meters.

Jose just walked a little faster than normal.

When he saw Jose push his header out of the bottom line with one hand, Vidal's face twitched uncontrollably, and he could feel that Jose was more than a little stronger than last year.

In addition to being surprised by Jose's progress, Vidal also wondered why Mourinho didn't use such an outstanding talented goalkeeper? Could it be that Courtois is even stronger?

Vidal hasn't had a chance to meet Courtois yet, he's only heard about them.

This season, with Courtois as the main goalkeeper, Chelsea in the Premier League, only in the second round due to goal difference, ranked second, the rest of the time is at the top of the table, so that the Premier League champion lost suspense early.

So it's hard to denounce Mourinho's choice as right or wrong.

Juventus' corner.

It didn't threaten Jose at all, and it was confiscated by Jose directly from mid-air.

In the end, the first half ended in a 1-1 draw.

Half-time, in the dressing room of Bayer Leverkusen.

The players were gathered around Schmidt, listening to Schmidt's analysis of the first half.

"Head, how are we going to play in the second half?" Calhanoglu asked.

Calhanoglu was a decent performer in the first half, and he was able to take a team like Juventus that didn't focus on physical confrontation.

"Of course, it's a steady counterattack." Bella Rabi spoke from the side.

As a player who is characterized by his speed, Bellaby's favorite thing to do is to crush opponents with speed, and to play to his speed advantage, there must be enough space up front.

Schmidt didn't speak, he waited to see what the players had to say.

"José, what do you think?" Captain Russ Bender suddenly turned to Jose and asked.

'Defend well and press up front, especially on Patrice Evra's side. José did not shy away from speaking his opinion.

With Leverkusen's player ability, if Juventus are allowed to attack unscrupulously, it will be difficult to defend to the end.

The buses are not so easy to put on the table.

"Okay, let's do what José advises." Schmidt concluded.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

With an away goal from Bayer Leverkusen, Juve will have to win to head to Bayer Arena with the advantage.

So, Juve's attack is more aggressive.

In the 48th minute, Tevez took the lead with the first shot of the second half.

It's just that Tevez's shot angle was too small to threaten Jose at all, and Jose was easily confiscated.

Glancing at the front of the field, Jose noticed that Sturaro was standing a lot further back.

Allegri appears to have made a new move to him at half-time, most notably to assist Patrice Evra on the left.

There is no gap in sight on the right, and the same is true on the left, and Son Heung-choo also does not have much room to play under the watchful eye of Lichtsteiner.

Only in the midfield position, Calhanoglu is slow and poor, but Pirlo is even slower on the opposite side, and Calhanoglu only needs to deal with Marchisio.

In that case, Jose passed the ball directly to the midfield.

The battle for midfield is once again on.

In the 56th minute, Wendell and Son Xingchou combined on the left side.

On the left side of the Juventus penalty area, Son Xingchou received Wendell's pass and hit the goal directly with his left foot.

Unfortunately, the angle of the shot was blocked by Bonucci and the ball bounced out of the box.

After a scramble, Juve won possession.

Juve launched a quick counter-attack and played a long ball straight past the midfield and the ball to the feet of Alvaro Morata.

Morata advanced with the ball, and in the blink of an eye, he was already outside the box, and Wendell, who returned to the defense in time, saw that he was about to be burst into the box by the opponent, so he had to trip him with his feet.

However, Morata poked the ball to Tevez on the other flank before going to the canvas.

Tevez won the ball and continued to push forward before bursting into the left side of the box.

Hilbert stepped forward to press and brought down Tevez in the box.

Referee Atkinson blew the whistle decisively.

Penalty, Bayer Leverkusen awarded penalty!

Juve were awarded a penalty, but their players protested to the referee.

Wendell's tactical foul should have been carded, but Atkinson didn't say anything.

"Juventus players are excessive, Atkinson is a Premier League referee, this action is in the Premier League, whether to judge or not depends on the referee's mood."

"The referee didn't blow the foul just now, isn't it just to give them an offensive advantage? Not satisfied with a penalty now? ”

"What's there to be satisfied with, against Jose on penalties, how many chances do you think?"

"Ugh"

If someone says it's better to take a free-kick than a penalty, he must be crazy.

Are Juve's players crazy? Not really.

Having faced Jose before, they know that in the face of Jose on penalties, the chances of scoring goals are really not higher than the chances of free-kicks.

And more importantly, letting Wendell get a yellow card can better limit the opponent's play.

Of course, there are a few people who believe that Wendell's foul should be a red card. (Refer to this year's Champions League Real Madrid vs Chelsea, Ben Chilwell's red card.) )

After being chased and intercepted by Juventus players, Atkinson finally showed Wendell a yellow card, and at the same time, in order to maintain the authority of the referee, he also showed Pirlo a yellow card.

At this point, the Juventus players finally dispersed.

Next, it was Juventus who took the penalty.

Tevez was in the penalty area.

Jose never imagined that since he entered the first team, he would meet Tevez every season, even if the two changed leagues.

From the earliest Villa vs. Manchester City to the current Bayer Leverkusen vs. Juventus, both have met.

I just don't know, is Tevez's homesickness good?

Tevez took the penalty, and the most nervous thing was not the Bayer Leverkusen fans, but the Juventus fans who were watching the game at home.

They stood up and prayed, hoping that God would help Tevez score the penalty.

In this regard, José wanted to shout: "Even if there is a God, it is on my side." ”

Tevez set the ball and took a few steps back while taking a deep breath.

"Huh? Do you push straight to the middle lane? ”

When Tevez activated, Jose's god-level prediction responded, and God was indeed on Jose's side.

Tevez chose to play in the middle, and it was naturally considered.

Originally, facing Jose, playing two top corners, became an open secret to the whole world, and then with Jose repeatedly pounced on the penalty kick into the upper corner, this open secret was not taken seriously.

The two wings are absolutely unplayable, because Jose has been 100 per cent successful so far.

So, Tevez felt he should try it in the middle.

Under normal circumstances, it is not too easy for the goalkeeper to deal with the ball at his feet, in addition to the lack of flexibility of the goalkeeper's feet, but also because the area of the interception of both feet is too small.

Tevez's thoughts are full, but the reality is skinny, because he met Jose.

The moment Tevez touched the ball, Jose also moved, and instead of pounced on either side, he suddenly sank and sat down on the spot.

Seeing that Jose did not pounce on either side, Tevez already knew that his penalty was likely to be saved by the opponent, but he could not change the direction of the shot, the only thing was to wait for a second chance to make up the shot.

Unfortunately, Jose didn't even leave the opportunity to make up for the opponent, and after blocking the ball, he quickly stretched out his hands and grabbed the blocked ball for the first time.

"Beautiful, Jose's penalty is so beautiful." The on-site narrator shouted.

The penalty was saved and Juventus missed the chance to get ahead.

It was from this moment that the Juventus players completely lost the indomitable momentum of the first half.

Schmidt began to make substitutions, and Brandt came off the bench to replace Son Heung-chou.

Son Xingchou can not play much role in this game.

Schmidt brought on Brandt in the hope of using his physicality, combined with his long-range shots, to pose some threat to the Juventus goal.

Disappointingly, the effect of Brandt's arrival on the court was not obvious.

After all, he was still too young, and before he could get up in the face of a bunch of old fritters at Juventus, the other side had already guessed what he wanted to do.

In addition, Allegri saw Schmidt's substitution, and he also made corresponding adjustments.

Sturaro was unable to help Patrice Evra limit Bayer Leverkusen's right flank, so Allegri simply replaced Sturaro and came on as a substitute for centre-back Barzagli.

After Barzagli came on, Patrice Evra and Lichtsteiner moved forward, and Juve switched to a 352 formation.

As a result, it will no longer be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to penetrate the opposition penalty area through midfield.

On the contrary, Juventus, through the advantage of the number of midfielders, easily hit the front of the Leverkusen penalty area.

If it hadn't been for Jose's outstanding performance, Juventus would have already reversed the score by this time.

has been pressed and beaten by the other party, after all, it is not a long-term solution, Schmidt must find a way to solve it.

Continued substitution adjustments?

Schmidt glanced at the bench and had a bold decision in his mind.
