As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 185 Heaven and Hell
At 21 o'clock local time in Germany, the game officially started.

Leverkusen kick off first.

Jose stands ready.

He never thought that this was the easiest game since he came to the Bundesliga.

Hertha Berlin had only two shots in the whole game, all of which deviated from the direction of the goal.

Jose didn't need to make any saves at all.

If it wasn't for a teammate's return pass, he wouldn't even have a chance to touch the ball.

It would be great if every game was like this.

It's easy, and there are zero bonuses, why not do it?

You must know that in the Premier League, this is almost impossible to happen. Even if the top team faces the bottom team, there is still the possibility of being overturned.

If it weren't for the high taxes and low wages in the Bundesliga, Jose would have wanted to stay here forever.

In the end, relying on Kisling's only goal in the second half, Leverkusen beat Hertha Berlin 1-0 away.

After this campaign, Leverkusen scored 45 points, surpassed Bayern by 1 point, and regained the top position.

What is more remarkable than being on the top of the list is that after 19 league rounds, Leverkusen conceded only 2 goals.

And because Bayern conceded goals in three consecutive rounds, including a big loss to Wolfsburg in the 18th round, their number of conceded goals has climbed to 9.

At this point, a long-standing record has been mentioned, that is, the record for the fewest goals conceded in a season led by Mourinho, will it be broken by Leverkusen or Bayern?

From the current point of view, Jose's Leverkusen team has the best hopes.

...

After the match against Hertha Berlin, there are still only three days to adjust.

Jose is busy training most of the time, and at the same time taking muscle-enhancing pills to adjust his physical condition. In addition, he occasionally participates in the shooting of one or two commercials, and his life is very fulfilling.

News also came from the parents. After investigation, they decided to open the first Chinese restaurant in Manchester.

Although the Manchester area is not as prosperous as London, the advantage is that the rent is cheap, and there are two giants in the Premier League here, and the number of fans attracted every year is no less than London.

As for the name of the restaurant, they also thought about it, and named it after Jose's name, Heos.

Regarding the parents' decision, Jose thought about it for a while, added his own opinions, and left it to the parents to handle.

However, there was also one thing that made Jose a little embarrassed, that is, Jose's mother secretly asked many times if Leng Yu was Jose's girlfriend.

No matter what Jose explained, my mother never believed it.

Since it was useless to explain, Jose simply did not explain.

On February 2, the 8th round of the Bundesliga continued.

Bayer Leverkusen challenge Werder Bremen away.

A day ago, Bayern defeated Stuttgart 2-0 in an away game, temporarily overtaking Leverkusen in points.

Therefore, for the Leverkusen team, this is a game that cannot be lost.

In terms of the starting lineup, compared with the previous game, there is only one personnel adjustment. The defensive star Spahic returns, and Papadopoulos sits on the bench.

In addition, Sun Xingmin and Delmic also failed to get the starting lineup. In the choice of left winger, Schmidt chose Brandt as the starting lineup.

As for Werder Bremen, compared with the first round, it can be said to be a big change.

After more than half a season of running-in, they have also found the most stable lineup, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Rafael Wolff.

Defenders: Sternberg, Westergaard, Galvez, Gebre-Selassie.

Single midfielder: Bagfried.

Midfield: Felix Kroos, Fritz, Junuzovic.

Forwards: Selke, Bartels.

On the bench, sat Oztunali, who played for the pharmaceutical company earlier this season.

When Oztunali was loaned to Bremen, the Leverkusen team did not include the avoidance clause.

Leverkusen gets the kick-off first.

Kisling responded directly to Spasic, who responded to Jose.

Jose kicks the ball to Bella Rabbi before the opposing player can get close.

Bella Rabbi pulled the ball and broke through, and in a blink of an eye he was on the right side of the opponent's penalty area.

Bella Rabbi made a cross from the bottom line, but failed to pass the opponent's defense.

Leverkusen's first attack failed to pose a threat.

Bremen's counterattack.

Sierra cuts in from the west side, throws off Wendell and passes the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

The ball reaches Bartels' feet.

On the right side of the penalty area, 15 yards in front of the goal, Bartels kicked and shot.

The ball flew towards the near corner of the goal.

Jose flickered and quickly moved to the right side of the goal.

Faced with the opponent's shot, Jose did not make a save, because he could tell at a glance that Bartels' shot had seriously deviated from the direction of the goal.

The first attack by both sides failed to pose a threat.

The game continues.

The fight in the midfield was extremely fierce.

In terms of ball possession, Leverkusen clearly has the upper hand.

It's just the last shot, most of which are far from each other.

In the 17th minute, Bremen got a good chance to score.

Bartels took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and attracted three players from the pharmaceutical factory to defend him.

Facing the siege of three people, Bartels retreated a little bit, dunked Spahic and passed the ball.

The ball rolled towards the left side of the small penalty area.

To the left of the penalty area, 8 yards away from the goal, the unmarked Selke received a pass from Bartels.

Selke shot straight away.

The ball left only an afterimage, rolling towards the bottom of the center of the goal.

For this kind of extremely fast low-level ball, most goalkeepers are not easy to handle.

Although Jose is more than [-]% sure that he will block it, there is still a small probability that the ball will rub against his legs and roll into the goal.

Without any luck, Jose directly used the cheat.

One second is enough for Jose to sit down.

Therefore, when the ball rolled to the goal, Jose was already like a hill, blocking the rolling route of the ball.

Jose blocked Selke's threatening shot with his body.

The ball didn't roll far.

In the confusion, Fritz made a second supplementary shot.

It's a pity that it missed.

Bremen wasted an excellent chance to score.

After 1 minute, Brandt dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

He hit the goal from a small angle and was directly blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.

This was Leverkusen's first goal-on-target shot of the game.

It is still Leverkusen's possession.

Unfortunately, Charhanoglu's long shot from outside the penalty area was high.

Charhanoglu's free kick skills are very strong, and Jose thinks he is not much better than the opponent.

But Charhanoglu's finishing ability in sports warfare has always been unsatisfactory.

Most of his goals this season have come from set kicks.

Obviously, the Bremen players are well aware of this, so so far in the game, they have not given the pharmaceutical factory a chance to shoot a free kick.

Bremen got a chance to counterattack.

Fritz made a diagonal pass into the penalty area.

Blocked by Toprake's header.

On the left edge of the penalty area, Bartels got the ball first, adjusted slightly, and volleyed directly from the near corner.

Jose quickly rushed towards the left side of the goal.

However, just after Jose threw it out, an accident happened.

Due to the problem of cooperation, Toprak actively intercepted, but the result was not successful, but the ball was slightly touched by the calf.

The ball that was flying towards the left side of the goal immediately deflected and turned to roll towards the center of the goal.

At this moment, Jose could no longer stop his figure.

In any case, Jose first used the "time and space pause" stunt, and then thought about countermeasures in a very short time.

"It's just a gamble."

After falling down, Jose pushed hard with both hands, and his body moved slightly towards the center of the goal.

It's just this little bit, just enough to allow his feet to reach the ball's path of motion.

Unbelievably, when Jose fell to the ground, he blocked the ball with his toes.

Leverkusen escaped.

"It's amazing, I've never seen a goalkeeper make such a save."

"Hell and heaven are just a moment away."

The game continues.

After that, the two sides gradually stabilized their positions, and for a while, no one could do anything to the other.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

Could it be that this will be another dull flat?
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Under the scrambling of the Leverkusen team, Bremen's possession rate further declined, but their counterattacks became more threatening.

In the 58th minute, Bremen got a free kick in the frontcourt.

The penalty spot is approximately 28 yards.

Without the command of Jose, the teammates have already lined up the wall.

Junuzovic takes the free kick.

Standing in front of the goal, Jose had a vague premonition.

"Where is the problem?" Jose quickly opened the perspective of God.

"This human wall is wrong." Jose quickly saw the flaws of the human wall from God's perspective.

Wendell is only 176 centimeters tall. In order to show his support for Jose, in addition to the regular three-person wall, he also ran to the side and stood together.

Jose judged at a glance that as long as Junuzovic's shot arc is wide enough, he can let the ball fly over Wendell's head, and then hit a close corner.

This time, Jose needs to defend both top corners.

A free kick is taken.

Sure enough, Junuzovic volleyed directly from the near corner.

The ball grazed Wendell's scalp, crossed the wall, and then quickly flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Jose immediately used "time and space pause".

Although the shooting distance is 25 yards, but because the ball is extremely fast, it is not as difficult to save as it is to save a penalty kick.

In the end, Jose tried his best and single-handedly shot Junuzovic's free kick out of the baseline.

Werder Bremen won the third corner kick of the game.

The corner kick was taken and Jose directly confiscated it.

To win the corner, Jose even used a cheat, because he saw a great counter-attack opportunity.

Just before the corner was about to be taken, Jose let Calhanoglu sneak around the midfield.

After taking the ball, Jose didn't stop, and directly kicked the goal kick with his big foot.

Charhanoglu was already ready, and when Jose kicked off, he began to sprint towards the opponent's half.

It's a pity that Charhanoglu's speed is not his advantage, and he was eventually pushed down by the opponent's defender from behind.

Leverkusen gets a free kick on the right.
