Chapter 334: The Goalkeeper's Exhibition Match

Januzaj takes a corner.

Fellaini grabbed the first spot.

There are really few players who can compare to Fellaini when it comes to the high ball.

Fellaini won the ball and hit straight at goal.

There was chaos in the box and the ball hit Dale's calf as it flew towards goal.

Luckily, the ball's trajectory hasn't changed much.

José saved a "time-lapse pause".

The World Cup schedule is about a month, and if the number of plug-ins is consumed too much, then it is likely that there will be an embarrassing situation where there are no hang-ups available.

It's not impossible, and if every knockout game has to be played with penalty shootouts, then it's safe to assume that the number of cheats won't be enough.

The game continued, and the two sides went back and forth, so it was not lively, but there was a lack of scoring opportunities, which made some pseudo-fans drowsy.

In the 31st minute, England organized an attack.

Alexander-Arnold crossed the flank and hoisted the ball into the box.

Unfortunately, neither Vardy nor Rashford could catch the ball.

Eventually, the ball went straight to the back post and then went just wide of the post.

In the 34th minute, England won another corner kick opportunity.

Loftus-Cheek scrambled to the penalty spot and then went straight to the back of the net.

Courtois played bravely and confiscated the ball directly.

Courtois has been on the bench for Jose for more than two years at Chelsea, and if he were an average player, he would have been out of action a long time ago, but he has still maintained his excellent form, which is very rare.

In the 39th minute, the Belgian team also got a chance,

Chadley passes the ball to the back post from the right.

Sorgen Hazard with a right-footed volley.

Unfortunately, the angle didn't open up at all, and Jose easily denied Eden Hazard's shot.

In the 44th minute, Loftus-Cheek curled the ball down the middle.

Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford again failed to follow up in time.

In the end, Boyata was cleared out in time.

At half-time, England 0-0 Belgium.

"A substitute is a substitute, and the gap with the main players is too big."

'Those two crosses from England, if Kane had been there, would have been on target.

"The two goalkeepers did well, 0-0 or 1-1."

The second half of the game begins.

Southgate made the first substitution.

Harry Maguire came on in place of John Stones.

In the 48th minute, England had their first chance of the second half.

Rose serves the ball quickly from the sideline.

Marcus Rashford cut inside on the left side of the penalty area, shook off the Belgian defender and curled the ball into the back of the net.

Courtois made another brilliant save.

He saved the ball with one hand.

England's corner kick goes straight into the box.

Courtois is tall and long-handed, and he confiscated the ball directly.

"The Belgian goalkeeper is so fierce, he was really pressed on the bench by Jose for two years?"

"If you don't believe me, you can check the information."

"I can't imagine how strong Jose really is."

Just when the fans were hotly discussing, Jose's chance to perform came.

Tielemans passes the ball and the ball is at the feet of Januzaj.

On the right side of the penalty area, Maguire and Phil Jones blocked Januzaj at the same time.

Januzaj changed direction and easily shook off Maguire and them.

Januzaj shoots a left-footed shot into the far corner.

The ball arcs through the air and flies towards the top left corner of the goal.

"Beautiful!"

"Good shot." There were fans shouting on the spot.

Just when some fans were excited, Jose turned into an afterimage and rushed to the left of the fans at incredible speed.

Jose then jumped up again and single-handedly blocked Januzaj's world-wave shot off the line.

"Damn, is the England goalkeeper so awesome?"

"Lonely, huh? Jose conceded no more than one slap in total in the 17/18 season. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier? I made a big bet on Belgium to win. ”

"If you don't watch the ball, don't touch the football."

In the discussion of the fans, Belgium took a corner.

They wanted to get to the back point, where there was Tielemans in ambush.

However, the ball, which flew at an altitude of almost 3.5 meters, was confiscated by Jose directly from mid-air.

Jose's rebellious performance drew another scream.

In the 53rd minute, England counterattacked.

Loftus-Cheek was brought down by Dembele after linking two down the middle and the referee awarded England a free-kick up front.

Alexander-Arnold took the free-kick and he opted to hit it straight at goal.

Unfortunately, Courtois is still not a threat.

"It's over, it's basically an exhibition match between two goalkeepers."

'It's hard to believe that Chelsea have them at the same time.'

In the 57th minute, Vermaelen was injured while battling with Vardy near the arc of the center circle, and returned to the field to continue the game after a brief handling by the referee.

England stepped up their attack, and although the first group leader would go to the "top half of the dead zone", it was a morale issue and the game could not be lost.

In the 60th minute, Alexander-Arnold's low cross from the right was blocked by Courtois from the penalty area.

In the 66th minute, Vardy picked up the ball with his back and slipped it to Marcus Rashford, whose one-on-one shot was blocked by Courtois with his fingertips.

In the 70th minute, Alexander-Arnold lobed the ball to the left, Rose crossed to the middle, and Delph opened his bow and fired a powerful shot that was blocked by Boyata.

England attacked fiercely, but never found a good chance to score.

Due to the lack of tacit understanding with other teammates, Jose's counterattack ball also did not play its due role.

In the 73rd minute, Belgium began to make substitutions.

Kompany came on to replace the previously injured Vermaelen.

One minute later, Vardy was knocked to the ground by Marouane Fellaini.

England won a set-piece up front.

Alexander-Arnold drove the ball to the back post.

Harry Maguire heads the ball in front of goal.

Too much to underestimate Courtois.

There was no suspense, Maguire's header was easily denied by Courtois.

In the 79th minute, England were awarded another free-kick opportunity from outside the box.

Marcus Rashford takes a direct shot at goal.

It's a pity that it's a little higher.

In the 82nd minute, England had a corner kick opportunity.

Marcus Rashford drives the ball down the middle.

Substitute Welbeck swept a shot.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by Fellaini's outstretched foot.

In the 87th minute, England's set-piece was sent to the goal.

Welbeck's cushion shot is wide.

England's attack, only thunder but no rain.

In the 88th minute, Belgium almost broke the deadlock.

Mertens, who came on as a substitute, received a cross from Solgen Hazard and fired a straight shot with his right foot.

The ball flew like a cannonball to the bottom right of the goal.

However, Jose reacted very quickly, and when the opponent shot the ball, after knowing the opponent's shooting route, Jose calmly saved the ball with a side pounce.

In stoppage time, Belgium still had a chance.

Michy Batshuayi burst into the box and split the ball.

There was chaos in front of England's goal.

In the confusion, the referee blew the whistle for a foul.

The referee awarded Belgium an offensive foul.

One minute later, Belgium made a comeback.

Fellaini takes a shot from Solgen Hazard down the left.

This time, Jose didn't make a save, and he could tell at a glance that his shot was off target.

As expected, Fellaini's shot hit the side-netting.
