As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 157 Penalty Shootout (seeking tickets)

Statistics show that in the last 8 Europa League finals, 4 of them entered overtime.

Therefore, people are not surprised by the current results.

In the 13/14 season, Villa was the best defensive team in the Premier League, while Juventus was the best defensive team in Serie A.

When the two best defensive teams meet, a draw is the most likely thing to happen
Overtime had just begun, and Conte finally began to make substitutions and adjustments.

Giovinco came off the bench and Llorente was substituted.

Although Carlos Tevez was a bit exhausted, Conte chose to keep him on the field considering the possibility of a penalty shootout.

In overtime, the rhythm of both sides slowed down significantly.

At this moment, it is the most sensible choice to try to keep the goal.

In the 97th minute, Pogba tried a long shot from outside the penalty area.

Jose blocked the ball with one hand.

Jose could feel that Pogba's shot was slightly less powerful than it was at the beginning.

Subsequently, Paul Lambert made another substitution.

Lowton came on as a substitute, replacing Ahmadi, and Bacuna moved forward to replace Ahmadi.

In the 99th minute, Juventus still couldn't break through Villa's defense.

Pirlo volleys with his left foot from outside the penalty area.

The ball flew past Villa's defense and headed towards the goal.

Then hit the grass.

Pirlo missed the shot?

not at all.

Jose saw it at a glance.

The shot shot by Pirlo is definitely a rebound.

Sure enough, the ball hit the grass, then rebounded and changed direction, flying towards the goal.

Although it is impossible to predict the direction of the rebound, Jose has long been prepared.

The moment the ball bounced up, he immediately rushed in the direction of the ball's rebound.

In the blink of an eye, Jose used his body to block Pirlo's rebound shot.

"Damn it." Pirlo roared unwillingly.

"Hey." Jose looked at Pirlo's unwilling expression, with a slight smile on his mouth.

Jose knew that he was getting closer to what he wanted.

The game continues.

In the 100th minute, Juventus attacked again.

In front of the penalty area, Pogba Pogba dribbles the ball.

Bacuna brought him down and was booked.

Juventus wins a free kick.

The penalty spot is about 25 yards from the goal, an excellent shooting distance.

Jose quickly arranged a human wall to block it.

This time, the free kick was replaced by Carlos Tevez.

Tevez really chose to shoot directly.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, first crossed the wall, and then flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Jose jumped and blocked the opponent's shot again.

Juventus's free kick opportunity still did not achieve any effect.

After 1 minute, Villa also ushered in a chance.

Bacuna instigated a counterattack after stealing the ball.

Benteke made a long-distance attack and broke into the right side of the opponent's penalty area.

12 yards in front of the goal, Benteke pushed to the far side.

Buffon just glanced at it, and then didn't make any saves.

It turned out that he had seen that Benteke's shot had missed.

Top goalkeeper, terrifying.

The overtime half was fleeting, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

In the 109th minute, Vidal made a direct pass from the backcourt to the right side of the penalty area.

Substitute Giovinco shoots from a tight angle.

Jose flinched.

It turned out that Giovinco's shot hit the side netting.

Although Jose can't tell at a glance whether the opponent's shot has deviated like Buffon, but Jose's tireless saves have prevented accidents from happening.

Subsequently, Conte made another substitution.

Marchisio came off the bench, replaced by Lichtsteiner.

Conte started to prepare for the penalty shootout.

In the end, the two sides still scored a goalless draw in overtime.

Next, there will be a brutal penalty shootout.

"So nervous, who do you think will win?"

"Juventus, Buffon is in charge, and Villa have several shooters, they really can't shoot through."

"Those who say Juventus won probably don't know the success rate of Jose's penalty kick?"

"Uh, I really don't know about this, is it amazing?"

"According to incomplete statistics, the success rate of Jose's penalty kick has reached 90%."

"It's impossible. When Yashin was alive, it was only 60.00%."

On the sidelines, Jose and his teammates surrounded Paul Lambert.

"Which of you came first?" Lambert asked.

In fact, he can directly designate it, but considering the psychological pressure of the players, he still solicited the opinions of the players.

"I'll do it." Benteke said.

As the first penalty shooter in the team, he has the obligation to share the pressure for his teammates.

"I'm second." Bakuna raised his hand and said.

"I'll be third." Weiman continued.

The third player to play is usually the match point, and the pressure will not be less than the others.

"I'm fourth," Delph said.

"In that case, Jose, you are fifth." Paul Lambert said.

In this way, the order of appearance was arranged.

As for five rounds later, Westwood was placed in sixth place.

As a result of the draw, Juventus got the first chance.

The first to play is Pogba.

After observing, Jose learned that Pogba, a young French midfielder, has a wild and unruly personality in addition to his lazy appearance. When he is serious, he is definitely one of the world-class midfielders.

With the referee indicating that the penalty kick can be started.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Pogba walked slowly towards the ball with small steps.

"Playing psychological warfare?" Jose sneered.

If it was before, Pogba's trick is indeed very effective.

Because the longer the delay, the greater the pressure on the goalkeeper.

But since Jose has integrated the heart of a sage, everything outside can hardly affect his state of mind.

Pogba walked slowly towards the penalty spot with small steps, and Jose's same performance was also surprising.

I saw Jose slightly bending his figure, staring intently at Pogba's every move, but his figure stood motionless on the goal line.

Generally, when a goalkeeper faces a penalty shooter, he will shake his body from side to side in order to deceive his opponent.

But goalkeepers like Jose, who stand motionless in front of the goal and respond to ever-changing changes with the same, are really too rare.

Pogba took more than 20 steps before reaching the ball.

Directly volley the lower left corner.

The moment Pogba shot the ball, Jose finally moved.

However, in the whole world, only Jose himself can move.

One second is enough for Jose to see the direction of Pogba's shot and make corresponding saves.

Pogba's shot was saved cleanly by Jose.

Don't worry about the opponent's follow-up shot. After confirming that the ball was rolling towards the penalty area, Jose cheered and ran to his teammates.

Juventus missed the lead.

It was Benteke's turn to play.

Facing Buffon, Benteke's pressure is undoubtedly enormous.

Still, Benteke can take it.

In normal training, although he doesn't like to practice against Jose, he knows in his heart that practicing against Jose is of great benefit.

Benteke's shot didn't have too many fancy moves, he simply volleyed, and the ball immediately flew towards the upper right of the goal.

Although it is not a dead end, it is enough.

Buffon judged the right direction, but he could only watch the ball fly into the net.

Villa took the lead with one goal and took the lead in the penalty shootout.

The second round of penalty kicks continued.

Jose walked towards the goal with a relaxed expression.

No one knows that at this time Jose still has 10 cheats.

For this game, Jose prepared a total of 14 cheat times, but in the 120 minutes of the game, he only used 3 times.

The reason for this situation is related to Juventus being too cautious.

The second player to kick a penalty on behalf of Juventus was Marchisio.

As a midfielder, Marchisio is definitely a hexagon fighter.

Also because he is a hexagonal fighter, he doesn't have particularly outstanding abilities.

Marchisio's penalty kick went in one go.

He chose to volley directly under the center of the goal.

Marchisio's choice has the same effect as the scoop penalty.

Generally, when the goalkeeper cannot determine which side the penalty shooter shoots from, he will randomly choose a direction to rush towards.

Marchisio apparently thought so too.

However, Jose is no ordinary goalkeeper.

Facing a penalty kick, Jose has always waited for the opponent to shoot a penalty kick before making a save.

Facing Marchisio's powerful shot, Jose put his feet together, and then stopped in the direction of the ball, directly blocking the opponent's shot from outside the goal.

"Fuck, is Villa's goalkeeper lucky, or has he already caught the opponent's shooting direction?"

"I think I guessed the direction of the opponent's shot. Whose goalkeeper will not move at all?"

"This is fun. Sanba misses two free throws in a row. If Villa makes another one, Sanba will be bye."

"That's not necessarily the case, Pirlo and Tevez haven't played yet."

Just as the fans were discussing, Bacuna stood in front of 12 yards.

It is a pity that Bakuna's shot was saved by Buffon.

The score between the two sides is still Villa leading 1-0.

The third round of penalty kicks continued.

This time, Jose finally felt a little pressure.

This time, it was Carlos Tevez who represented Juventus.

Jose is no stranger to Carlos Tevez.

After all, Tevez was still one of Manchester City's strikers in the match against Manchester City last season.

Standing in the penalty area, Tevez took a deep breath.

Unlike ordinary players running directly to the penalty spot, Tevez's run-up turned out to be an arc.

Obviously, Carlos Tevez believes that it is difficult to deceive Jose from the shooting angle.

So his choice is to hit the goal as hard as possible.

Everyone can see that Tevez chose to bomb the bottom right corner of the goal.

Jose is certainly no exception.

It's just that people don't know, with the speed of the ball blasted by Tevez, can Jose make a save in time?
The speed of the ball blasted by Tevez has already exceeded 150 hours, leaving only about 0.3 seconds for Jose to react.

No one thought Jose would be able to make a save in time.

Unless Jose opens up.

That's right, Jose hung up.

With a second extra, Jose had just enough time to dive into the bottom right corner of the goal.

I saw him move half a step to the right of the goal, and then leaped forward, blocking Tevez's vigorous volley under the incredible eyes of the people.

The score is still 0 to 1.
