As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 187 Why Do Goalkeepers Embarrass The Goalkeeper?
As expected, the Wolfsburg team, except for the goalkeeper, was all pressed to Leverkusen's half.

"Back to defense, back to defense." Jose shouted to his teammates.

Because Spasic was sent off with a red card and the number of substitutions has been exhausted, a change of formation is imperative.

Schmidt gesticulated from the sidelines, Bonisch moved closer to the center, and Rolfes moved to the left-back position.

Castro, Bella Rabbi, Sun Xingmin, and Brandt formed a ground midfielder, leaving only Delmic in front.

After the formation change, although the situation was temporarily stabilized, there was still one person missing in the end, and it was still difficult to face Wolfsburg who was pressing on the whole line.

Rolfers, Bonisch, Papadopoulos, and Castro received yellow cards successively, which blocked the wave after wave of Wolfsburg.

In the 84th minute, Papadopoulos fouled and gave the opponent a free kick from the edge of the penalty area.

The penalty spot is relatively close, which shows the importance of the human wall.

From the perspective of God, Jose quickly organized his teammates to line up the wall.

Because one person was missing, Dermic, who stayed in the frontcourt, could only be withdrawn.

This time, it was Naldo who took the free kick.

Directly volleying hard, the ball rolled past the bottom of the wall.

"Good time." Jose smiled slightly and shouted loudly.

When arranging the human wall just now, Jose deliberately left the lower three lanes without arranging personnel to intercept them. Apart from the lack of manpower, he also wanted to lure the opponent.

After shooting randomly, Naldo saw that Jose was prepared, and secretly regretted it, he knew he had been tricked.

Naldo's shot is extremely fast, but not as fast as Jose, after all, there are still more than 20 yards away.

With a careful thought, Jose easily resolved the opponent's free kick opportunity.

Jose didn't rush the goal kick.

After a little delay of more than ten seconds, Jose passed the ball to Rolfes on the wing.

The Leverkusen team counterattacked, but it was a pity that Delmic missed the shot in the end.

One minute later, De Bruyne dribbled the ball forward, passed the ball suddenly while running, and hit directly behind Leverkusen's defense.

There is no official central defender on the pharmaceutical field at this time, so it is not surprising that he was pierced by the opponent.

Dost rushed out from the right and got a single chance.

Facing Dorst's one-handed attack, Jose chose to attack decisively this time.

15 yards in front of the penalty area, Jose was about to meet Dost.

Just when Dost was about to shoot, Jose used the "time-space pause" plug-in, which broke his original plan.

I saw Jose rushing towards Dorst at a very fast speed, and then shoveled with both feet, shoveling the ball away from Dorst's feet.

Jose's attack resolved the opponent's single-handed chance.

In the 4th minute of stoppage time, Wolfsburg's last attack.

In fact, at this time, Wolfsburg's situation is over, but they still don't give up.

Vierinha crosses from the right.

The ball flew through the crowd and reached the left side of the penalty area.

Hunter, who came off the bench, hit the ball and he chose to head the ball directly.

At this time Jose has followed the transfer of the ball to the left of the goal.

Hunter's header hit the goal, and Jose flew to block it with one hand.

The blocked ball flew towards the crowd.

In the penalty area, there was chaos, several people hit the ball one after another.

Just as Jose got up from the ground, Dost was the last to kick the ball.

Shot straight towards the goal.

The ball was so fast that it first touched a player's calf, changed direction slightly, and then rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Jose didn't care about standing still, and rushed towards the ball directly.

Unfortunately, without using the plug-in, although Jose touched the ball with his fingers, he still failed to prevent the ball from rolling into the goal.

In the end, Leverkusen defeated Wolfsburg 4-3 at home.

This is the first time since Jose's debut that he conceded the ball first and finally won. It is also the first time since Jose's debut that he has conceded 3 goals in a single game.

Despite conceding three goals, all the media after the game praised Jose's performance in the game.

After the game summary analysis, everyone agrees on one thing, if it is not for Jose's high and low blocks, the number of goals scored by Wolfsburg will be more than 5.

In the whole game, although the number of shots from Wolfsburg was only 15, the number of shots that hit the goal reached a terrifying 12 times. According to the conversion rate of 50.00%, Wolfsburg should score 6 goals.

Not only Wolfsburg's shooting rate is frighteningly high, but Leverkusen's shooting rate is also not low. The number of 13 shots hit the goal reached 7 times, and the goal conversion rate was close to 60.00%.

It can be said that this is completely an undefended game.

After this campaign, Leverkusen accumulated 51 points and kept the top position.

Wolfsburg is still in third place, with a 6-point gap with Bayern.

It is worth mentioning that in this round of the match, Bayern slaughtered the Hamburg team 8-0 at home. Müller, Gotze and Robben scored twice, and Lewandowski and Ribery added to the cake.

Although Leverkusen leads Bayern, most people almost believe that the championship still belongs to Bayern.

A week later, on February 2, the 21nd round of the Bundesliga continued.

Bayer Leverkusen will play an away game against sixth-ranked Augsburg.

Rival Bayern also played away games, but their opponent was Paderborn, ranked 13th.

Lewandowski scored twice in the first half.

In the second half, the opponent's left back Hartz fouled in the penalty area and was awarded a red dot package.

Robben hit a penalty kick, killing the suspense of the game early.

Bayern beat their opponents 6-0.

The pressure was once again on Leverkusen's side.

Although the first round of the Champions League 1/8 final will be ushered in three days later, Schmidt still sent all the main players.

Leverkusen took the lead and took the first shot.

It's a pity that Bella Rabbi's shot was high.

In the 8th minute, Jose made a long pass from the backcourt, and the ball reached Sun Xingmin's feet.

The pharmaceutical factory got the first chance to counterattack quickly in this game.

Sun Xingmin made a pass from the left side of the penalty area.

Delmic followed up and hit the goal, but was blocked.

However, the blocked ball did not roll away, and Delmic made a second shot to the empty goal.

The ball is in.

Leverkusen lead by one away goal.

"Don't watch it, the pharmaceutical company is leading, and this game must be won." A fan left a message.

However, things are not that simple.

Although the score fell behind, Augsburg firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

On the 59th point of the second half, Augsburg almost equalized.

HLD position, Bayer hanging pass inside the restricted area.

Cayoubi, who came off the bench, succeeded in anti-offside.

Facing Jose single-handedly, Cayoubi was very calm.

He chose to lob the far corner.

Jose had to use a "time and space timeout" to block the opponent's single-handed ball without any risk.

Without Spasic, the defensive anchor, the defensive focus has always been a little bit worse.

The game continues.

Although Leverkusen's ball possession rate was much lower than that of their opponents, the counterattack was very threatening.

In the 84th minute, Cayoubi's shot was directly confiscated by Jose.

Jose quickly took the goal kick and threw the ball directly to the right back Hilbert.

Hilbert took the ball and advanced all the way on the wing, and in a blink of an eye he was on the right side of the penalty area.

Glancing at the penalty area, Hilbert made a high pass.

Lezner, who came off the bench, scored with a header.

The ball went in again.

Leverkusen lead their opponents by two goals.

The fans of Augsburg began to leave the field, and the game was over halfway. Even if they didn't pay attention to Jose's goalkeeping ability, they heard that as long as Leverkusen leads, it is absolutely impossible to lose.

Just when the fans of the Leverkusen team thought that they would win another zero-block victory, a little surprise appeared on the field.

In the 4th minute of stoppage time, Augsburg got a corner kick.

All Augsburg players, including Hitz, all poured into the penalty area of ​​the pharmaceutical factory.

The corner kick was taken, and the opponent's goalkeeper Hitz hit the first point.

However, Hitz's header angle was a little bit off, and was blocked by Jose's double fists.

After the ball flew out of the penalty area, it still fell under the control of Augsburg.

Parker made a cross from the right.

Jose is ready to attack and block, but Rolfes is already one step ahead.

Jose stopped his attack.

However, a speechless thing happened.

Rolfes made a clearance error and kicked the ball in front of Hitz.

At a distance of 3 yards in front of the goal, Hitz directly made a half-volley.

At such a close distance, Jose failed to save the ball even if he used "time and space timeout".

It is a pity that Jose missed a chance to keep a clean sheet.

And it was the opposing goalkeeper Hitz who broke through Jose's ten-finger barrier.

Why bother the goalkeeper.

Statistics show that after scoring the goal, Hitz became the third goalkeeper in the history of the Bundesliga to score in a sports game.

在他之前，多斯特（2002年3月31日）和莱曼（1997年12月19日）先后在运动战中进过球。

In the end, Leverkusen defeated their opponents 2-1 in an away game, thus retaining the top position before the start of the Champions League knockout round.

In the two games, the number of goals conceded by Leverkusen skyrocketed to 6 goals, only 3 goals less than Bayern.

As the game with Atletico Madrid is getting closer, the players' training is getting more and more serious.

During this time, Jose received a call from his father.

The restaurant's business has been done in sevens and eighties, and the only thing that has not been finalized is the main menu.

In this regard, Jose directly told his parents to focus on Cantonese cuisine, and then add some other cuisines.

Jose naturally has his reasons for doing so.

Although there are quite a lot of excellent dishes in other cuisines, due to dietary habits, Europeans prefer to pay attention to fresh Cantonese dishes, and most of those spicy and heavy dishes are tasted first.

After setting the tone of the main dish, Jose will not raise any opinions. After all, it still needs to pass the market verification before making further adjustments.

On February 2th, a special day arrived.

The Champions League 1/8 finals, the first round match between Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid will start today.

At the same time, today is also Jose's 20th birthday.

The team unanimously stated that this game must be won and congratulated Jose as his birthday present.

Before the game started, Jose received a congratulatory message from Saito Asuka.

Jose learned that after Saito Asuka returned to Japan, in addition to going back to school, she began to develop in the entertainment industry.

For some reason, Jose felt jealous when he heard Saito Asuka's choice.

What originally belonged to his own collection is now on public display.
