As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 165 See also the red dot set meal (asking for a ticket)

Wolfsburg finished just one point behind Bayer Leverkusen last season, missing out on a Champions League spot.

After the introduction of De Bruyne, their strength has improved a lot, and the creativity of the midfield even faintly surpassed Bayern Munich.

Facing such an opponent, Schmidt's response idea is to actively fight for the frontcourt players to prevent De Bruyne from taking the ball as much as possible.

The defensive tasks are all given to Jose to command.

After the start of the game, the Leverkusen team strictly followed Schmidt's request and put pressure on Wolfsburg.

However, the tenacious Wolfsburg not only withstood Leverkusen's fight, but even counterattacked to pose a threat.

In the 4th minute, Rodriguez took the lead in completing the first shot.

On the edge of the penalty area, Rodriguez has the ball.

Facing Leverkusen's dense defense, Rodriguez couldn't find any passing routes.

Glancing at the penalty area, he found that Jose was facing the sky at this time, not looking at him at all.

Leverkusen goalkeeper, is this a mental business trip?
Maybe it's a good opportunity.

Rodriguez suddenly cast a cold arrow and shot directly with his feet.

The ball first passed through Leverkusen's defense and then flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

However, at the moment Rodriguez took a shot, Jose actually started to move towards the right side of the goal.

Wasn't he looking at the sky just now?

Rodriguez certainly didn't know that what Jose was looking at was not the sky, but the stadium situation from God's perspective.

From God's perspective, Jose could see Rodriguez's sudden shot clearly.

At first, Jose only thought that "time-space pause" was his cheat, but as he grew up, Jose found that every talent and every free kick skill given to him by the system was his super cheat.

Under Rodriguez's slightly surprised eyes, Jose steadily confiscated the ball shot by the opponent.

Wolfsburg's first wave of attack was declared fruitless.

Jose unhurriedly takes the goal kick.

Once again, the two sides competed for a while.

In the 7th minute, the Leverkusen team suffered a heavy blow.

[Malanda] dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area.

Just as he was about to take a shot, Donatti rushed over, and he directly tackled [Maranda] from behind.

"Beep, beep~" the referee's whistle sounded.

Red dot set.

Donatti and Leverkusen were sentenced to death.

Seeing the referee's penalty, the fans of the Leverkusen team who were traveling with the team were half-hearted on the spot.

At this time, the game has only passed 7 and a half minutes, and you are going to fall behind by one goal and lose one player?
People seem to have seen a fiasco of the leader.

"And me," Jose said to his slightly frustrated teammates.

Rodriguez takes the penalty kick.

Without too many bells and whistles, Ricardo Rodriguez strides up and shoots into the bottom left corner with his left foot.

"Time and space pause."

Although Jose has a 60.00% certainty of directly saving the opponent's shot, he still uses the plug-in.

At this moment, Jose absolutely does not allow any accident to happen.

Playing one less player has already affected morale. If you fall behind by one more goal, you will definitely lose this game.

Ricardo Rodriguez's shooting speed is very fast, which has exceeded the speed of the average defender's big feet.

However, under the control of a force beyond the entire world, Jose still easily blocked the ball directly.

Although Jose's first save was slightly out of hand, the ball did not roll out of his control.

"Ah? Ronaldo's penalty was confiscated directly." The live broadcast said in disbelief.

"Clatter!" Leverkusen fans burst into applause immediately.

"Haha, I knew that Jose would be able to save it." Schmidt excitedly said to the people around him.

"Oh, poor Ronaldo, he probably doesn't know that Jose is best at saving penalties."

"Hold on, we haven't lost." Jose shouted to his teammates while holding the ball in one hand.

The game continues.

With one more player, Wolfsburg gradually took advantage of the field, and they began to constantly look for loopholes in Leverkusen due to lack of players.

And because Leverkusen played one less player, their offensive strength began to decrease, which also allowed Wolfsburg to have more possession of the ball. The ball possession ratio between the two sides reached 3:1 at one point.

In the 24th minute, Wolfsburg had another chance to score.

In front of the penalty area, De Bruyne took the ball.

Bender stepped forward to intercept.

However, before Bender could get any closer, De Bruyne passed the ball.

The ball directly penetrated Leverkusen's defense and then fell to the right side of the penalty area.

Vierinha burst from the right and grabbed the ball first.

Facing Jose, Vierinha shot directly with a low ball.

The ball flies towards the post.

"The ball must have gone wide, right?"

Jose thought so, but still made a flying save.

As a result, Jose rushed out.

Vierinha's shot, rubbed the post and rolled out of the bottom line.

Jose's judgment was correct.

Although it was judged in advance that the opponent's shot missed the goal, Jose didn't have any thoughts about it. If he did it again, he would still make a save action honestly.

The current Jose does not have the confidence of Buffon.

The game continues.

Wolfsburg has always maintained the offensive strength of the Leverkusen team.

In the 26th minute, Vierinha received a pass from De Bruyne.

From 12 yards in front of the goal, Vierinha kicked and shot.

The ball was directly confiscated by Jose.

In the 27th minute, Ricardo Rodriguez broke through from the wing.

Without Donatti, Rabbi Bella couldn't stop him at all.

Ricciardo - went straight to the left side of the penalty area.

Facing Yedvay's attack and blocking, he kicked up and shot the far corner directly.

The ball passed Jedvay directly, but it couldn't pass Jose.

Jose suddenly took two steps forward, then leaped high, reached into the air with both hands, and directly took Ricardo Rodriguez's shot from halfway.

After taking the ball, Jose took a look at the frontcourt situation.

At this time, all Wolfsburg players have overwhelmed the midfielder, and there is a tendency to press Leverkusen to the ground.

"Good opportunity." Jose smiled.

Goal kicks are taken directly and quickly.

Hearing a "bang", the ball turned into a streak of light, crossed the midfield in an instant, and landed behind the opponent's defense.

Delmic rushed forward quickly. He is only 22 years old, and his speed is naturally extremely fast.

Delmic took the lead in getting the single-handed ball from Jose.

Naldo and Robin Knoch chased after Delmic, but they couldn't catch up at all.

In a blink of an eye, Delmic had entered the opponent's penalty area.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Delmic volleyed calmly.

The ball is in.

The Leverkusen team, which had one less player, scored the first goal.

For this goal, Jose must make the first contribution.

Because of this goal, the morale of the Leverkusen team returned instantly,

No longer flinching, the Leverkusen team began to organize the attack.

In ancient times, the offense would be initiated by the front midfielder or forward. In the 21st century, the midfielder has become the mainstream.

Nowadays, a goalkeeper who can play the ball will be more popular with the head coach.

It's a pity that the Leverkusen team is still missing one player after all, and the offensive strength is really very limited.

In addition, Wolfsburg itself is extraordinary.

The outside world believes that Wolfsburg is at least one of the top three teams this season.

On the contrary, the youth team of Leverkusen, which temporarily ranks first, is not very optimistic.

In the 45th minute, Wolfsburg regained control of the situation.

Rodriguez has the ball on the left and he has plenty of space and time to cross.

The ball is passed directly into the penalty area.

At 8 yards in front of the penalty area, Vierinia succeeded in grabbing a spot.

Vierinha headed straight to the goal.

The ball went straight to the upper right dead corner.

Normally, this would be a must-goal.

Because when Rodriguez has the ball, Jose has to rush to the left side of the goal to block.

After Rodriguez passed the ball, Jose moved to the center of the goal immediately.

It is true that Jose's speed is very fast, but it is not as fast as the flying speed of the ball.

When Vierinha finished his header, Jose was still on the left side of the goal.

It's just that, under normal circumstances, Jose has a cheat against the sky.

With the second gained by the plug-in, Jose finally rushed to the right side of the goal.

Fish jumping over the dragon's gate.

Jose blocked the opponent's shot out of the baseline with one hand.

Wolfsburg gets a right corner.

The corner kick was taken without much threat, and it was directly confiscated by Jose.

At the end of halftime, Leverkusen, who played one player less, even led away by one goal.

Intermission time.

"Jose, do you have any ideas for the second half?" Schmidt rarely asked Jose's opinion.

"Defend firmly and counterattack." Jose said a few words lightly.

Jose naturally had his own reasons for saying this.

Now it is an away game, and there is one less player to play. In the lead, doing a good job of defense is the most cost-effective thing.

Of course, while defending well, you also need to be ready to strike your opponent at any time.

"It makes sense." Schmidt gave Jose a thumbs up.

Jose doesn't know much about the specific tactical arrangements, but he understands a truth very well. Football is nothing more than sending the ball into the opponent's goal, and then preventing the opponent from sending the ball into his own goal.

In order to achieve these two goals, any means of compliance can be used.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Schmidt took the lead in the substitution.

Lenartz replaced Bender and Bonisch replaced Oztunali.

After Bonisch came on, he partnered with Spasic at center back, while Jedvaj moved to the right back position.

One fewer offensive personnel and one more defender, this is Schmidt's change based on Jose's suggestion.

In fact, it's one of the most routine changes in most games.

Wolfsburg still maintains an offensive advantage.

However, whether it was De Bruyne, [Maranda], or Bendtner, none of their shots threatened Jose.

In the 63rd minute, Wolfsburg got another corner kick.

De Bruyne is responsible for taking corner kicks. His corner kicks are very imaginative, that is, there is no long pass into the penalty area, nor a short tactical corner kick, but a long pass directly to the front of the penalty area.
