As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 192 Unexpected Penalty Shootouts
At the end of overtime in the first half, the total score was still 1-1.

During this period, Schmidt passively used up the last substitution quota.

Russ Bender strained his thigh due to the fierce fight for the ball, and raised his hand to express that he could no longer hold on.

Helpless, Schmidt had to let Papadopoulos come off the bench.

At this time, the live chat room.

"What else to play? Let's go straight to the penalty shootout."

"That's right, for two hours, there were not many shots."

"The two teams are dirty B, with no skills at all."

Fans began to vent their emotions.

The two sides changed sides and fought again.

Atletico Madrid began to launch a general attack. Obviously they have realized that entering a penalty shootout is not good for them.

In the 106th minute, Turan made a low pass from the right and the ball reached Garcia's feet.

On the right side of the small penalty area, Garcia volleyed from a small angle.

Jose blocked the ball with his foot.

In the 112th minute, Griezmann broke through from the left.

Papadopoulos was dyed yellow for a tactical foul.

Turan hit the goal directly from a free kick.

Jose stretched out his hands and took them directly.

In the 116th minute, Raul Garcia made a cross from the right.

Torres took a diving header and was easily confiscated by Jose.

In the end, it was still difficult to distinguish the winner in overtime, so they had to enter a brutal penalty shootout.

Although Jose is the goalkeeper with the highest penalty success rate in the five major leagues, he still dare not take it lightly in the penalty shootout.

"Come here, let's arrange the order of appearance for you." Schmidt waved to the players.

In the end, Schmidt announced that the first player to play was Charhanoglu, the second was Rolfes, the third was Toprak, the fourth was Castro, and the fifth was Kisling.

Jose didn't play in the top 5.

As a result of the draw, Atletico Madrid got the chance to kick first.

In the first round, Garcia played for Atletico Madrid.

Facing Garcia, Jose took a deep breath. He found that this time, the pressure he felt was even greater than in the Europa League final last year.

Garcia's penalty kick didn't have much skill, he pushed directly with his right foot, and he wanted to push the upper left corner.

It seems that they all know that facing Jose with a penalty kick can only have a chance if he hits the two top corners.

Jose immediately used "time and space pause".

As a result, Jose did not touch the ball.

It turned out that Garcia missed the ball.

Everyone knows that no goalkeeper can make a save by kicking two top corners, but how many people can do it?

It was Calhanoglu's turn to play.

He didn't lob the shot from the dead corner like Garcia did. Although he didn't fly, the angle was too straight and was confiscated by Oblak on the spot.

The total score is still 1 to 1.

The second round of penalties begins.

Griezmann played for Atletico Madrid.

Jose knew that Atletico Madrid's players would definitely choose the two upper corner directions.

Sure enough, Griezmann shot with his left foot and the ball went straight to the upper right corner.

It didn't fly, and Jose certainly didn't catch the ball.

The ball is in.

Atletico Madrid is temporarily ahead.

It was Rolfers' turn to play.

Somewhat surprisingly, Rolfes also succeeded in pushing the upper right corner.

The total score was 2 to 2.

The third round of penalty kicks continued.

Mario Suarez played for Atletico Madrid.

Facing Mario Suarez, Jose's god-level prediction still did not respond.

This time, Jose didn't wait for the opponent to touch the ball, but rushed towards the left side by feeling.

However, Jose judged the wrong direction and Mario Suarez chose to push the upper right corner.

The ball went in again.

The pressure came to Toprak.

As a result, under heavy pressure, Toprak hit the ball away.

With a total score of 3 to 2, Atletico Madrid took the lead.

The fourth round of penalty kicks continued.

Cork played for Atletico Madrid.

Leading the score, Cork looked relaxed.

This time, facing Kirk, the god-level prediction still did not respond.

Jose couldn't help complaining: "Is the 50.00% response rate fake?"

The god-level prediction did not respond, leaving only two choices for Jose, one is to cover one direction, and the other is to wait for the opponent to touch the ball and then make a save according to the judgment result as before.

After a little thought, Jose made a decision.

Cork made a run-up shot in one go, and the ball rolled towards the lower left corner at high speed.

Since there are not two upper corners, then Jose will not be troubled.

So, Jose saved Cork's penalty.

Pharmaceutical players and fans applauded Jose.

It was Castro's turn.

He also chose to push the bottom left corner.

Oblak judged the wrong direction.

The ball is in.

The total score was tied 3-3 again.

The fifth round of penalty kicks continued.

Torres played for Atletico Madrid.

Facing the Saint Infant, who once terrified all Premier League defenders and goalkeepers, the pressure on Jose increased.

In the past, Jose's penalty kick success rate was extremely high because no one knew his weakness.

Now, as Jose's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more studies on him, so Griezmann and Mario Suarez chose to push the upper right corner.

Standing in the penalty area, Torres took a deep breath, and then ran up and shot in one go.

The ball turned into a white light and flew towards the right side of the goal.

After all, Torres still lacked confidence, he did not choose to push the upper corner.

Although the right and upper right corners are not far apart, the result is far worse.

"Time and space pause."

Jose jumped up and rushed towards the right side of the goal.

There is no doubt that Jose saved Torres' penalty.

There was bursts of warm applause from the stands of the pharmaceutical factory fans.

"Good job." Schmidt gave Jose a hug.

It's Kisling's turn to play. As long as he scores this goal, Leverkusen will advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League again after 12 years.

At this moment, the hopes of the whole team were concentrated on Kisling.

Feeling the eyes of fans, teammates, and coaches, Keasling's pressure increased sharply.

As a result, he kicked and flew.

Kisling missed the chance to overtake the score.

After five rounds of penalty kicks, the total score became 3-3.

Although cruel, there is no way.

Next, the two sides will enter the sudden death system.

The sixth round of penalty kicks begins.

Turan played for Atletico Madrid.

Standing on the goal line, Jose looked at Turan in front of him and suddenly smiled.

Because his god-level prediction responded.

The god-level prediction told Jose that Turan will choose to volley the upper right corner like Griezmann and the others.

They seem to have decided that facing Jose, only the two upper corners are the only hope.

Of course, even though Jose knew the opponent's choice in advance, he still couldn't rush to the upper right corner in advance.

Because in that case, Turan would temporarily change his mind and choose to kick left.

The result of the god-level prediction will be disturbed by the protagonist's choice.

Jose stared at Turan's footsteps, and when Turan touched the ball, his figure also started to move.

The time for judging the direction of the shot is saved, and Jose has enough time to deal with it.

The cheers from the Leverkusen fans' stands were deafening at this moment when Jose saw Turan's penalty kick going straight to the upper right corner.

Turan's face visibly twitched, and he lamented in his heart: "Didn't it mean that Jose couldn't save in the direction of the upper right corner?"

No matter how annoyed Turan was, the result could not be changed.

It was the turn of Leverkusen's No.6 player to play.

Schmidt pointed to Bella Rabbi, signaling him to go up and kick the sixth.

Seeing Bella Rabbi walking towards the penalty area, everyone in the pharmaceutical factory once again pinned their hopes on him.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Rabbi Bella, who was originally very relaxed, suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Rabbi Bella shook her head, trying to get all her thoughts out of her mind.

Kicking shot, Bella Rabbi's choice volleys the bottom right corner.

The ball was fast, but Oblak caught his shot ahead of time.

Speechless, Bella Rabbi's shot was saved.

After six rounds of penalty kicks, the total score is still 3-3.

With the passage of time, when the two sides still cannot decide the winner, the pressure on the players who will play next is undoubtedly huge.

No way, the seventh round of penalty kicks continued.

This time, it was central defender Miranda who represented Atletico Madrid.

Miranda also chose to push the upper right corner.

Jose didn't touch the ball because the opponent sent it flying.

With the shooters already on the field, with the shooting skills of the remaining players, it is not an easy task to complete the two upper corner shots.

The scale seems to be tipping in Leverkusen's direction.

Just when Schmidt raised his hand to point to Wendell, Jose said, "Coach, let me do this."

"Huh? Can you?" Schmidt looked at Jose with some doubts.

Schmidt certainly didn't know Jose's penalty level.

In fact, since coming to Germany, Jose has seldom exposed his heavy artillery shooting level.

"I can." Jose nodded firmly.

Originally, Jose was unwilling to expose himself, but if it continued, it would not be beneficial to the team.

Jose is very clear in his heart that although Wendell is a Brazilian player, his ability to withstand pressure is not too strong.

"Okay, go ahead." Schmidt finally agreed to Jose's request.

With the permission of the head coach, Jose didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the penalty area again.

"Unexpectedly, the Leverkusen team sent their goalkeeper." The on-site commentator shouted.

Standing in the penalty area, Jose looked at Oblak, and was not in a hurry to shoot, but said: "I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to confront each other."

"You are really strong, come on." Oblak knew very well that he must not talk too much with Jose.

"Last year, when I faced Buffon, I scored a penalty kick. Afterwards, Buffon told me that before the next penalty kick, it is best to tell the goalkeeper and take good physical protection." Jose's voice was different. Big, but every word clearly entered Oblak's ears.

It is impossible for Oblak not to have seen Jose's penalty kick, but it has been so long that he has forgotten it.

"What do you mean?" Oblak asked.

"Buffon told me that Carlos never took a penalty because he was worried about hurting the goalkeeper. But today, I have to do it. You know, I need this victory." Jose's voice was very calm.

But the calmer the voice, the more unpleasant it felt to Oblak.

Is Jose really thinking about him, or is this a psychological warfare by the other party?
For a while, Oblak couldn't make up his mind.
