As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 207 It's a rascal (seeking tickets)

Regarding Morata's shot, Jose was not nervous at all, as if he had already predicted it.

His figure flashed for a moment, then he leaped high and picked the ball directly from mid-air.

What Jose is most afraid of is the high-altitude ball.

After taking off the ball, Jose habitually looked at the frontcourt.

There is no chance of a quick counterattack at all.

Juventus' players are so experienced that there is simply no way to take advantage of them.

Jose had to wait a moment before passing the ball to Jedwai in front of him.

This is how the game started and gradually deepened.

Juventus' counter-attacks are quick because they never dribble too much.

Of course, except for Pogba.

In terms of player personal speed alone, Juventus players are half a beat slower than Leverkusen players.

It's just that they improved their offensive efficiency by reducing the number of passes.

Statistics show that Juventus' average number of passes per game this season is only about 500. Compared with Bayern's average number of passes per game of 800, it is simply a world of difference.

Of course, the number of passes of Juventus is still higher than that of the Leverkusen team. In addition to the lack of player ability, it is also related to the style of play of the Leverkusen team.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of fouls committed by the Leverkusen team this season has reached more than 600, while the number of fouls committed by Bayern, Wolfsburg, Borussia, Dortmund and other teams is only about 400.

Even if you look at the five major leagues, there are only a handful of them, which shows the fierceness of the Leverkusen team on the field.

Jose was thinking in his mind while observing the changes on the field.

He didn't realize it himself, and he didn't know when, a leadership temperament began to slowly form in him.

...

In the opening minutes, the possession time of both sides was almost the same, but Juventus completed 3 shots, while Leverkusen only completed [-] shot.

From the perspective of the scene alone, Juventus is more like the side that is fighting at home.

In the 8th minute, Juventus almost broke the deadlock.

Pogba took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball he played was full of speed.

To be on the safe side, Jose chose to block the ball with both fists.

Toprak made a clearance error and passed the ball to Vidal.

Facing the big gift that came up, Vidal shot decisively.

There was no other way, Jose had no choice but to use the first cheat of the game.

This prevented the home court from falling behind.

"Hold on, don't worry." Jose shouted.

He could see that most of the Leverkusen players today were in a state of tension.

You know, Leverkusen has been unable to get rid of the fate of the Champions League Sixteen Lang for 13 years.

Now it is only one step away from tying the history of 13 years ago. Who can not be nervous?

After a little control of the rhythm, Jose kicked the goal kick.

Although some fans often say that Pirlo is the world's number one long passer, his speed, physical confrontation, and defensive ability are very stretched.

Jose really wanted to say to these fans: let go of your fairy spirit!

The so-called slow speed, weak confrontation, and poor defense are only compared with his long passing ability.

At least the current Charhanoglu and Pirlo are confronting head-on, and they don't take advantage of it at all.

Therefore, Jose slowly got used to the big-footed long pass to find Bralabi or Sun Xingmin.

As the top scorer in the team this season, Bralabi relies on quick counterattacks.

I don't know when it started, the quick counterattack no longer starts from the midfield, but becomes initiated by the goalkeeper.

Therefore, Jose became the counterattack engine of the Leverkusen team.

...

In the 17th minute, Kisling got a chance to shoot.

Jose kicks off and passes to Wendell.

Wendell advanced to the opponent's bottom line from the side.

Facing the interception of Juventus players, Wendell passed back to Sun Xingmin behind him.

Sun Xingmin dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area, and then crossed the goal.

Kisling carried the opponent's two players and poked the ball with his foot.

The ball turned and rolled towards the bottom left of the goal.

It's a pity that he failed to pass Buffon's ten fingers.

Although Buffon is old and his physical flexibility is not as good as that of young players, his game experience is so rich that he can predict the existential threat with just one glance.

It is not an easy task to penetrate Buffon's ten fingers and score a goal.

It's a pity that Leverkusen's first shot to hit the goal was easily resolved by Buffon.

...

In the 23th minute, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

Pirlo made a long pass to the left of the penalty area.

Morata succeeded in anti-offside and got the ball first.

It's a pity that the shot angle has been blocked by Jose.

Morata decisively inverted the triangle and passed back to Vidal.

At 12 yards in the middle of the penalty area, Vidal took the ball and was about to shoot the empty goal on the right.

Jedvaj stepped down.

With a light touch of the calf, Vidal fell in the penalty area.

The referee blew his whistle decisively.

penalty.

A penalty is awarded to Leverkusen.

However, neither the home fans nor the Leverkusen players were indifferent.

"Rogue, the pharmaceutical factory is playing a rogue."

"That is, relying on a goalkeeper who can save penalties, if he can't prevent others, he will directly foul."

"It's rascal, but I like it."

...

Seeing the indifference of his teammates and fans, Jose was really angry and funny.

Aren't you afraid of being punished?

Jose sighed helplessly and had to go back to the goal line to concentrate on Tevez's penalty.

Unlike Leverkusen players who didn't care, Juventus players flocked to Tevez and offered advice to Tevez.

"I have repeatedly studied Jose's penalty kicks. He basically waits for the player to kick the ball before starting to save."

"Yes, so no matter which direction you choose, you can't fool him. As long as you shoot the ball faster than his reaction, you can score."

"I think it's better to hit the two upper corners. The penalty kicks that Jose missed all went from the two upper corners."

Several Juventus players chattered, scrambling to say.

After listening to the opinions of his teammates, Carlos Tevez pondered for a while, and finally made his own decision.

After Tevez found a good point of force on the ball, he gently placed it on the penalty spot, and then retreated a long distance.

After careful consideration, Carlos Tevez believes that ball speed is the key.

Although he can't kick the ball at the speed of Jose, he is sure to kick the ball at a speed of more than 150 per hour.

At 150 mph, the time required from the penalty spot to crossing the goal line is only 0.3 seconds.

Tevez did not believe that Jose could make a save within 0.3 seconds.

As for why Tevez gave up playing the above two dead ends?

Quite simply, he lacked self-confidence.

If the penalty kick is saved, it can be explained that the opponent's goalkeeper is too strong, but if it is shot by himself, it is the player's fault.

The moment Tevez activated, Jose's god-level prediction responded again.

In the recent period, the response rate of the god-level prediction is frighteningly high.

In this regard, Jose explained that God was on his side.

With a bang, the ball kicked by Carlos Tevez flew towards the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

For the vast majority of goalkeepers, the high-speed and low-level ball is no less than the two dead corners above.

No wonder Tevez would choose this way.

The Juventus fans immediately cheered from the stands. In their view, Tevez's goal is a must-score goal.

Only fans who know Jose know that everything is undecided, and the next thing is to watch Jose's performance.

Although Jose has predicted the direction of Tevez's shot, he still needs to wait for the opponent to kick the ball before making a save, otherwise his behavior will cause the opponent to temporarily change his mind.

After the collision between the ball and Carlos Tevez's sneakers ended, Jose used the "time and space pause" in time, then quickly moved two steps to the right of the goal, and then jumped down with all his strength.

"how is this possible?"

Juventus fans saw that Jose saved Tevez's penalty, and then was cleared out of the penalty area by Wendell's big foot, and they all stood on the spot.

Jose's performance was too bad, and he shocked the fans no less than Melo.

The fans suddenly realized that Jose is really only one heavyweight trophy away from a superstar player.

Will this heavyweight trophy come this year?
Although unwilling, Tevez could only retreat slowly, the game is still in progress.

The ball Wendell cleared was caught by Charhanoglu.

Leverkusen's chance to counterattack.

It's a pity that Juventus' defense is too sophisticated.

This wave of offense was destroyed by Bonucci without even forming a shot.

The battle for midfield was more than intense but not exciting enough.

Seeing the players on both sides fighting for each other, Jose couldn't help but think of a year ago.

Also facing Juventus, Villa's players struggled to draw with each other through continuous tackles.

Today, Leverkusen players rely not on tackles, but on close pressing.

Jose found that in the five major leagues, only Premier League players would directly tackle the ball regardless of the dirt on the grass.

At the end of the first half, with Juventus blasting 9 shots, the two sides drew 0-0.

If this score continues until the end, Leverkusen will advance to the final with an away goal advantage.

During the half-time break, Schmidt, uncharacteristically, did not make any new tactical arrangements.

Only Jose was thinking about how to survive the second half of the game.

"Have you noticed that their No. 6 player, Pogba, likes to drive forward with the ball, can we use it?" Jose suddenly said.

Leverkusen struggled to face Juventus. The difference in player strength was only a small factor. The most important thing was that the Italian team did not pay attention to possession of the ball at all. It is their specialty to defend and counterattack.

And Pogba is an alternative. In addition to liking to control the ball and advance, he often suffers from inattention.

There is no doubt that Pogba's personal ability is very good. He is tall and big, and he has an advantage when fighting for the ball. He likes to control the ball naturally because of his strong ball control ability.

However, Pogba is not Messi after all. No matter how strong his ball control ability is, it is really hard to say whether he can perform normally in the case of close pressing.

After Jose's reminder, Schmidt's eyes lit up immediately. As an academic coach, his control over details is higher than those coaches who were born as players.

In the last few minutes of the break, Schmidt made new tactical arrangements for Bender and Rolfess.

　Quietly tell everyone that the data mentioned in this chapter is true.
