As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 212 Busquets' Acting Skills
The only way Jose can think of is to pass a big kick and then cross from the side.

In fact, this is an open trick to deal with Barcelona.

After staying for a while, Jose took a goal kick with his big foot.

Pass directly to the left side of the opponent's half.

Jose found that compared to Alves' side, the hope of attacking from Alba's side is greater.

Jose's goal kick fell in front of Bella Rabbi after crossing the half-court.

Bella Rabbi suddenly accelerated, threw away Alba and rushed to the bottom line with the ball.

On the right side of the Barcelona penalty area, Bellarabi faced Mascherano's interception and chose to pass back to Charhanoglu.

Unfortunately, Charhanoglu's push shot was high.

Leverkusen's attack ended in failure.

Ter Stegen took the goal kick and passed it directly to Mascherano.

Barcelona organized an attack again.

It's just that Neymar's shot was also high in the end.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the number of shots between the two sides reached 2 to 3, and the gap does not seem to be large.

In the 11th minute, Charhanoglu countered in the frontcourt and brought Busquets down.

After Busquets fell to the ground, he covered his face with his hands and kept rolling on the ground, as if he had been hurt a lot.

Charhanoglu just touched him lightly with his toes, what did Busquets cover his face for?
Seeing Busquets' appearance, boos came from the stands of the fans of the pharmaceutical factory and the stands of the neutral fans.

But no matter how the fans booed him, Busquets just couldn't get up. It wasn't until the referee showed Charhanoglu the first yellow card of the game that Busquets got up from the ground.

Busquets' move made the boos of the fans even louder, but he didn't care about the boos of the fans at all.

Charhanoglu has a yellow card on his back, and he will be very careful about his actions next.

In the 13th minute, Messi got the ball from the right.

Bender stepped forward to press down.

Messi made a direct pass to the right side of the penalty area and the ball reached Suarez's feet.

Jose quickly moved to the right side of the goal to block.

However, Suarez did not choose to shoot himself, but passed back to Messi.

12 yards in front of the goal, Messi volleyed to the left of the goal.

"Time and space pause."

For Jose's shot, Jose was almost 90.00% sure to save it, but he still chose to use a plug-in.

"Cheating doesn't cost money, why not?" This was Jose's thought.

In this way, Messi's first shot was easily confiscated by Jose.

"Huh?" Seeing that Jose had directly scored his own shot, Messi couldn't believe it.

In this world, he has never met a goalkeeper who can easily take Messi's shot.

"Probably luck." Messi thought so.

Of course, Jose didn't know what Messi was thinking. He only knew that he couldn't have any mental deviation in the next time.

Jose kicks the goal kick again.

Unfortunately, he failed to attack the opponent's penalty area.

After the Barcelona players adapted to Leverkusen's style, they gradually took control of the rhythm of the game.

Like Gua's Bayern, Barcelona's offensive rhythm is not fast, it's just a dazzling pass and match that makes Leverkusen's players a little bit exhausted.

"Pay attention to Messi." Schmidt shouted from the sidelines.

At this time Messi moved to the left and was advancing with the ball at high speed.

Castro chased after him desperately, but he couldn't stop the opponent from continuing to advance.

On the left side of the penalty area, Messi passed the ball, in front of Suarez.

Just when Suarez was about to stop and shoot, Jose suddenly attacked and rushed the ball out of the penalty area before Suarez.

With experience in the game, Jose has learned that sometimes the best option is to strike out and clear the ball before the opponent takes a shot.

Now Jose can't reach Neuer's level, but as Jose becomes more and more experienced, coupled with the improvement of ball control skills at his feet, one day in the future, he may also be able to walk out of the penalty area like a defender.

the game continues
Barcelona continued to form a siege.

In the 27th minute, Barcelona got a corner kick.

The corner kick is taken and passed directly into the penalty area.

Just when Jose was about to attack and confiscate the ball, Wendell took the first step to head the ball.

However, the ball was not pushed out of the penalty area.

Jose secretly groaned in his heart.

He saw Neymar.

Reminding his teammates that it was too late, Jose retreated decisively, ready to save at any time.

15 yards from the left side of the penalty area, Neymar took a low shot directly, and the ball rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Fortunately, Neymar's shot did not hit the power.

Jose leapt forward and confiscated the ball with both hands just as it was about to cross the goal line.

Leverkusen escaped again.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour had passed since the game.

In half an hour, Leverkusen fouled 15 times, setting a record for fouls in the first 10 minutes of this season's Champions League game.

In the first half an hour, Charhanoglu made 5 personal fouls, and the data of creating opportunities, passing, confrontation, tackles, and success in the top battle were all 0.

As the core of the team's midfield, Charhanoglu's plight is also the plight of the Leverkusen team.

Jose was good, but he was just a goalkeeper.

How to solve the current predicament for the Leverkusen team is a problem that Schmidt needs to solve in time during the intermission.

Of course, Enrique also needs to find a way to break through the goal guarded by Jose.

Barcelona's strength lies in their offensive organization, but it is the last blow, which gives Jose the feeling that it is not as good as Real Madrid's BBC combination.

Therefore, even though the opponent's attack was extremely fierce, it still couldn't threaten Jose.

In the end, the two sides played to a 0-0 tie in the first half.

Barcelona's ball possession rate reached 74%, and the number of shots reached 8 times. It can be said that they have formed a beating trend.

The only thing that reassures Jose a little is that the opponent's offensive rhythm is not fast.

This is also a common problem of pass control teams.

The more the opponent passes, the more time Jose has to prepare.

During the intermission, Schmidt readjusted his tactics based on the situation in the first half.

Schmidt announced that he would abandon the original man-to-man defensive tactics, because no matter whether it is Messi or Neymar, ordinary players cannot defend against it.

Abandoning man marking does not mean giving up defense.

After deep thought, Schmid decided to change to zone defense tactics in the second half of the game.

At the same time, let Sun Xingmin and Bella Rabbi retreat as much as possible to coordinate defense.

"Oh, by the way, when defending Busquets, pay attention to your movement. Although his acting skills are eye-catching, the referee can't stand him." At the end, Schmidt added.

For Busquets, Jose finally understands why fans like to call him Professor Bu.

In terms of pure personal skills, Busquets is at the top level in the world whether it is defense, dribbling ability, or passing. However, his favorite way of touching porcelain is really difficult for fans to like.

Of course, in the Barcelona formation, Busquets is not an exception.

While Schmidt was rearranging his tactics, Enrique was also adjusting, but there were too few things he could adjust.

Some fans said that with Barcelona's lineup, you don't need a coach, you can win the championship as long as you leash the dog.

Jose felt that this statement was a bit too much, after all, dogs can't talk.

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

Barcelona is still taking the initiative to attack.

In the 48th minute, Charhanoglu was cut off in the frontcourt.

Barcelona quickly counterattacked.

Rakitic only tucked in on the left side and the ball went to Suarez's feet.

10 yards in front of the goal, Suarez shot directly towards the post.

Compared with the offense in the first half, this offense was much more efficient.

Seeing that the ball was about to roll to the goal line, Jose rushed to it.

With a pounce, Jose blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand.

Barcelona get another corner kick.

This time, Iniesta chose to take a short corner.

The ball went to Neymar's feet.

According to Schmidt's arrangement, Leverkusen's players did not step forward to press, but chose to block the opponent's shooting route.

Neymar's shot was hopeless and he chose to cross the arc.

Messi took the ball and took it directly into the penalty area.

Spasic and Toprak outflanked and blocked, and Bender interfered beside Messi.

However, nothing works.

Messi broke into the penalty area from the pinch of the three.

Under normal circumstances, facing an opponent who breaks into the penalty area single-handedly, it is the most correct way for the goalkeeper to choose to attack.

However, Jose didn't do that.

Jose knew very well that with Messi's dribbling ability, if he attacked rashly, he could completely pass the goalkeeper and then shoot.

Of course, staying in front of the door is also not a solution.

So, Jose is waiting, waiting for the best time to use the cheat.

Seeing that Jose did not attack, Messi did not continue to advance, but chose to hit the goal directly. Could it be that he had foreseen that Jose was waiting for him to continue to advance, so he chose to hit the goal immediately instead?

Seeing Messi choose to hit the goal, Jose knew that this was the butterfly effect caused by his not hitting.

Messi's shot is very light, so the speed of the ball is not too fast, but the angle is very tricky.

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Jose knew that under normal circumstances, the probability of him being able to save this shot would not exceed half.

To be on the safe side, Jose decisively used the "moment pause".

If you don't need a plug-in, you are either stupid or stupid.

In this way, Jose directly confiscated Messi's shot again.

In the 55th minute, Jose encountered the biggest crisis of the game.

Messi made a wonderful pass from the heel between the two, and the ball reached Alves' feet.

Alves dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area. Facing Toprak who was attacking and intercepting, he chose to pass a low pass to the middle of the penalty area.

12 yards in front of the goal, Suarez turned and shot with his left foot.

Jose flew to the ground to block the ball.

However, the blocked ball fell to Neymar.

Jose murmured that it was not good.

Facing the ball in front of him, Neymar directly kicked and shot the empty goal on the left, and the ball rolled towards the dead corner on the lower left of the goal.

At this time, Jose has not yet stood up, no matter how you look at it, Jose has no time to rush to the left side of the goal to make a save.

Barcelona's lead seems to be a certainty.
