As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 189 Birthday Present
During the halftime break, in the locker room of the Leverkusen team, Schmidt re-emphasized the tactical arrangement for everyone.

"You have to be aggressive and don't be afraid of getting dirty," Schmidt said finally.

After the start of the second half, the players in the pharmaceutical factory changed a lot, and their defensive actions began to increase, and the number of fouls soared.

In the 46th minute, Atletico Madrid got a free kick in the frontcourt.

At 30 yards, Thiago is in charge.

Hit the door directly.

The ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Jose flew to save and easily blocked the ball.

This is too simple.

Jose was puzzled.

Sure enough, Atletico Madrid's idea turned out to be a second supplementary shot.

Several Atletico Madrid players stared straight at the bounced ball and rushed up.

Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper saves, unless the shot is very threatening, most of them cannot control the direction of the saved ball.

Therefore, the offensive side is given a second chance to make up shots.

And in this world, there are always some teams and some players who are better than others at seizing the opportunity to make up goals in front of the goal.

Yes, Griezmann grabbed the second spot.

Shoot directly to the lower right corner.

Although the speed of the ball is not very fast, the angle is tricky enough.

Although Jose realized in advance that the opponent was taking the second supplementary shot, Jose was still a little surprised when he saw that it was Griezmann's supplementary shot. The opponent's shot angle was the same as designed.

Could it be that they have already thought about the third supplementary shot?

If this is the case, Jose can only stop the opponent's attack if he completely wins the ball or his teammates clear the ball.

However, for Griezmann's second supplementary shot, Jose is only 50.00% sure to win.

Without hesitation, Jose decisively used the cheat, he would not bet on the 50.00% chance.

After all, this is the knockout round of the Champions League. Letting the opponent score at home is equivalent to giving up the advantage to the opponent. Jose absolutely disagrees with this point, which is worth 1.5 goals.

With the second gained by the plug-in, Jose steadily won Griezmann's supplementary shot in front of the goal.

This wave of Atletico Madrid's offensive design announced that it had returned without success.

Jose kicked the goal kick and sent the ball directly to Calhanoglu.

Another wave of attacks on the pharmaceutical factory started.

The fight in the midfield was extremely fierce, but it had nothing to do with Jose.

As a goalkeeper, unless the opponent attacks in front of the penalty area, he is the most leisurely person on the field.

In the 57th minute, the efforts of the pharmaceutical company finally paid off.

Delmic received a pass from his teammate from the left, and saw him volley a pass from the outside of his instep.

The ball was passed to Bella Rabbi.

Bella Rabbi broke into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, and after attracting Atletico Madrid's defenders, he pulled the ball across the foot.

The ball went to Calhanoglu.

On the right side of the penalty area, 10 yards in front of the goal, Calhanoglu volleyed from a small angle to the far corner.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

The ball is in.

1:0.

The pharmaceutical factory finally opened the record.

The fans of the pharmaceutical factory stood up and cheered one after another.

Jose knew that in the next game, the pressure he would face would be even greater.

After 1 minute, Atletico Madrid successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield, and Turan held the ball and prepared to counterattack quickly.

However, without waiting for Turan to start, Wendell rushed over.

Wendell directly grabbed and pulled Turan to the ground, but he completed the task of daring to fight that Schmidt had given.

The referee did not defend and showed Wendell the third yellow card of the game.

The yellow card added, but it didn't affect Wendell's enthusiasm at all.

In the 59th minute, Atletico Madrid once again reached the penalty area of ​​the pharmaceutical factory.

Turan passes the ball.

Wendell flew to block and blocked the opponent's pass.

Seeing that Wendell blocked his own pass, Turan did not fight for the ball, but complained to the referee.

"He's handballing it." Turan gesticulated and shouted at the referee on duty.

However, the referee did not stop the game, but explained with one hand close to his body: "His arm is not extended."

Wendell was lucky to meet the referee with sharp eyes.

Being awarded a penalty kick is not the most important thing.

With Jose's 90.00% penalty kick success rate, unless he meets an opponent who is very familiar with him, it is basically impossible to score a penalty kick.

The most important thing is that if Wendell gets another yellow card, the pharmaceutical factory will have to beat one less person.

The game continued, and Atletico Madrid could only try long shots from the outside.

However, in front of the defense led by Spasic, there is really not much room for Atletico Madrid to shoot, and there is no threat to Jose at all.

Both sides come and go, the rhythm is extremely fast.

In the 60th minute, Godin uprooted Bender and was also shown a yellow card. Because of the accumulation of yellow cards, he will miss the second round.

In the second round, the pharmaceutical factory will have one less powerful opponent.

In the 64th minute, Simeone saw that he was unable to attack for a long time, and began to make substitutions and adjustments.

He removed midfielder Turan and replaced him with Torres the Innocent.

Jose is no stranger to Torres. After all, the two used to be Chelsea players, but they never appeared on the court at the same time.

Soon after Torres came on the field, he had a chance to shoot.

However, Torres' shot did not threaten Jose at all.

Jose just jumped up a little, and took Torres' lob shot directly.

Seeing that Atletico Madrid had used up three substitutions, Schmidt also began to make substitutions and adjustments.

Bender, who received a yellow card, was replaced by Rolfers.

The game continued, and in a blink of an eye, the game has come to the 74th minute.

Atletico Madrid get another corner kick.

Thiago took a corner kick, the first point was hit by Spasic, and the ball went straight out of the penalty area.

Jose was very relieved by Spasic's performance today.

However, the ball that flew out of the penalty area landed in front of Juanfran. He didn't stop the ball, but kicked the ball upside down into the penalty area again, flying towards Torres' direction.

8 yards in front of the goal, Torres kicked a low shot.

Not threatening Jose, when Juanfran passed the ball upside down, Jose had already seen Torres in front of the goal.

Immediately confiscate the ball.

He glanced at the front field.

At this time, in the middle circle, only two players from Delmic and Atletico Madrid were there.

This is a great opportunity for a quick counterattack.

Jose quickly took the goal kick in the first place.

The ball was sent directly to Delmic.

A quick counterattack from pharmaceutical companies.

Unfortunately, facing Moya single-handedly, Delmic's shot power was too weak and was easily confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Delmic wasted an excellent chance to extend.

You know, in a game, there are not many such opportunities.

And even if it does, the goalkeeper loses the opportunity to counterattack because the goalkeeper is too slow to play the ball.

In the modern football world, a goalkeeper who can play the ball has begun to become a key assessment factor for coaches.

When it comes to the goalkeeper playing the ball, I have to mention De Gea who made Santoko give up Jose.

There is no doubt that De Gea's goal-line saving skills are absolutely top-notch.

But his attack ability, ball ability, and blocking ability are hard to describe.

The game continues.

Two minutes later, another accident happened on the field.

Bella Rabi took the ball from the side and advanced, and when he was about to reach the right side of Atletico Madrid's penalty area, a figure quickly approached and directly shoveled Bella Rabbi on the sideline.

It was Thiago who put the shovel.

At this time, the referee was not far away, and he clearly saw Thiago's dangerous movements.

Without hesitation, the referee took out the topaz card from his pocket.

In this way, Thiago received a second yellow card and became the first player sent off by a red card in the history of Atletico Madrid's Champions League.

Thiago was sent off, and Atletico Madrid played one less player, so there was no suspense in the game.

In the end, with the goal of Charhanoglu, the pharmaceutical factory defeated the opponent 1-0 at home.

Not allowing Atletico Madrid to score an away goal is Jose's greatest contribution.

As for the final promotion quota, it will be determined by the second round of the competition three weeks later.

In this game, Atletico Madrid's fouls reached 25 times, much higher than the pharmaceutical factory's 11 times.

It can be said that the fluency of the game is almost nonexistent.

After the game, Jose stayed on the field for a while longer than others.

He wants to enjoy it, the first Champions League knockout victory.

When Jose returned to the locker room, he immediately saw a huge cake placed in the center of the locker room.

"Jose, happy birthday."

"Thank you." Jose was very moved.

His birthday has never been mentioned to his teammates or others, but unexpectedly, the Leverkusen club gave him such a big surprise.

However, what moved Jose even more was that Schmidt walked up to Jose with a football, smiled and said to Jose, "Birthday gift."

"Thank you." Jose quickly took the football and said gratefully.

He recognized that this was the ball scored by Charhanoglu in this game.

"Cut the cake." Schmidt reminded Jose.

"Ah."

Jose walked up to the cake, silently made a wish, gave the first piece of cake to Schmidt, and then distributed it to other teammates one by one.

After the brief birthday party, Schmidt took Jose to attend the press conference.

At the press conference, Jose received another wave of birthday wishes.

After the game with Atletico Madrid, Jose stopped taking muscle-enhancing pills.

I don't know if it's because of drug resistance or other reasons, but the Zengji Pills I took in the past two days have no effect.

Today, Jose is 193.88 centimeters tall and weighs 86 kilograms, but his body shape remains the same as when he was 75 kilograms.

In this way, Jose's physical flexibility has not been affected by the weight gain in the slightest.

Although he still can't compare with those blacks who weigh more than 200 catties, it is impossible for ordinary players to hit him.

Jose's current height is not the tallest among all goalkeepers, but his unusually long arms make him raise his arms higher than all goalkeepers in the world.

In addition, Jose's jumping ability of 110 cm is also the strongest among goalkeepers.

It can be said that in terms of intercepting high-altitude balls, even without using plug-ins, Jose is the strongest in the world.

Jose is perfecting his weaknesses little by little. When he perfects all his weaknesses that day, he will be the number one goalkeeper in the world.
