Chapter 169: The Epidemic of Pranks
"Yes." José casually agreed.
Why can yoga be popular all over the world, but Chinese kung fu can't be spread?
It's just a physical exercise.
Now that he had agreed to Sskilling, José began teaching on the spot, thus attracting more than a dozen people to gather around.
However, José was soon defeated.
Rao is such a simple Tai Chi movement, if you want to teach them, it is still difficult.
"He, is there anything simpler?" Someone asked.
A little simpler?
José was just about to shake his head in reply, when suddenly a set of actions came to mind.
The fifth set of broadcast gymnastics?
This is a gymnastic sport that every Chinese student knows.
"Yes." The corners of José's mouth rose, and a bad taste welled up in his heart.
"Teach us." Everyone spoke one after another.
"Okay, follow me. One-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-three-four, four-two-three-four. José led them to the fifth set of broadcast gymnastics on the spot.
One dares to teach, and a group of people dare to learn.
Such a picture is a bit funny in addition to making people speechless.
It's just that these foreigners, why don't they wonder that Huaxia Kung Fu is not aggressive?
Could it be that because yoga is not aggressive, they think that Chinese kung fu is also non-aggressive?
No one pursued this.
After all, strictly speaking, it was just a prank by Jose.
Before you know it, the time has come to October 18th.
The 8th round of the Bundesliga continues.
Bayer Leverkusen will travel to the Mercedes-Benz Arena to take on Stuttgart away.
As a veteran powerhouse in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart, although it is not what it used to be, is still not to be underestimated.
For this game, the focus will not be on whether Bayer Leverkusen can win, but whether they will concede a goal.
This is because Bayer Leverkusen have conceded only one goal in the first seven rounds, the fewest in the top five leagues.
If it weren't for the low number of goals, Bayer Leverkusen would have topped the table instead of Bayern.
It stands to reason that Schmidt is a youth storm and has limited experience at the back, so he should have conceded a lot of goals, but the truth is beyond everyone's expectations.
Why is this happening?
Is it really just because of Jose's existence?
The starting list was announced well in advance of the game.
For Bayer Leverkusen, there were just two changes from the previous game, with Hilbert and Brandt getting starts, Wendell coming to the bench and Russ Bender missing out on the 18-man squad.
As for the formation, Schmidt put on the traditional formation of 442, with Kiessling and Bellaby partnering as a double striker.
As for Stuttgart, there is a 433 formation, the specific list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Kirschbaum.
Defenders: Klein, Rudiger, Niedermeier, Schwab.
Midfielders: Gentena, Romeu, Moritz Leitner.
Forwards: Timo Werner, Ibisevic, Hanik.
Timo Werner is the youngest starter of the game, nine days younger than Jose, and will be another talent?
Stuttgart kicks off first.
It's just that Timo Werner's shot didn't threaten Jose at all and was completely off target.
The goal kick is taken and Bayer Leverkusen organizes the attack.
Unfortunately, Kiessling's shot also failed to threaten the opposing goalkeeper.
In the 4th minute, Kiessling stepped back to get the ball.
At this time, Sun Xingchou had already broken into the opponent's penalty area.
Kiessling passed the ball, directly tore through the opponent's defense, and sent the ball to Son Xingchou.
Eight yards to the left in front of goal, Son Heung-chou fired low.
The ball grazed the near post and into the net.
Bayer Leverkusen have a one-goal lead.
In the 9th minute, Bayer Leverkusen scored again.
Sun Xingchou made a successful follow-up shot in front of the goal, scoring twice personally.
A minute later, Son almost finished his hat-trick.
Outside the penalty area, Son Xingchou shot from a long distance, but unfortunately hit the crossbar and the goalpost.
Kiessling then fired from a tight angle and was denied by the post.
In the 41st minute, Son Xingchou sent an assist.
Velaraby took the ball and broke through several defenders before firing diagonally into the net.
3 to 0.
Unlike his teammates, Jose didn't have many opportunities to show throughout the first half.
He made zero saves in the first half and Jose almost fell asleep in the box.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
With a large lead too early, Bayer Leverkusen's players began to lose their mental focus, and the passing scramble seemed to be freewheeling.
Watching the performance of my teammates, a bad feeling welled up in my heart.
Sure enough, Stuttgart changed teams in the second half, and they frequently attacked Leverkusen in the box.
In the 59th minute, Stuttgart counterattacked from the wing.
On the left side of the penalty area, Klein crosses with a big foot.
The ball went straight to the middle of the box.
Twelve yards in front of the door, there was a crowd of people and chaos.
José stood in the middle of the goal, keeping an eye on the ball's trajectory while silently guarding against a sudden attack from an opponent in the box.
Just as the ball reached the top of the box, Timo Werner suddenly leaped high and got ahead of everyone to get the ball in front of everyone.
Timo Werner's header was fast and dangerous.
However, Jose, who had already been on guard, faced with Timo Werner's header, only jumped and easily blocked it.
Spašić cleared the ball out of the box as soon as possible.
Stuttgart's great chance, stop there.
In the 67th minute, Stuttgart made another dangerous situation.
On the edge of the box, Timo Werner shot hard, albeit from a mediocre angle, but with great speed.
On the left side of the goal, Jose tried to confiscate Werner's shot with both hands.
However, in the end, Jose couldn't take the ball straight because the shot was too strong.
The blocked ball did not roll out of the penalty area, but rolled towards the right side of the penalty area.
Suddenly, a figure struck and shot directly at the rolling ball.
The ball turned into a white light and flew towards the near corner of the goal.
It was Klein who shot the goal.
At this point, Jose is in the center of the goal to the left.
Jose's reaction was timely and the start was fast, but Jose admitted that the probability of saving Klein's follow-up shot was no more than 40%.
The ball was too fast and Jose was on the left side of the net in order to keep out Timo Werner's shot.
There was no better way, and Jose used the first plug-in of the game.
Originally, seeing Klein's follow-up shot, Stuttgart fans were already preparing to celebrate.
However, when Jose flew to save Klein's shot again, the whole game became silent for 3 seconds.
Sparšić cleared the ball and didn't give his opponent a chance to shoot further.
Stuttgart once again missed the opportunity.
In the 76th minute, Stuttgart, unwilling to lose, hit the penalty area again.
Substitute Kostic passed the ball straight into the six-yard box.
Jose wanted to strike, but was a step too late.
On the left side of the box, Hanik scrambled to get the ball in the head.
I saw Hanik's header smash heavily on the ball, causing the ball to fly towards the near post at a very fast speed.
Hannick's shot was close and the ball was fast, leaving the goalkeeper with only 0.34 seconds of reaction time.
It was in these 0.34 seconds that Jose made the save.
On the goal line, Jose used his body to block Hanik's shot.
This time, Jose knew that he could not directly dispossess the opponent's shot, so he deliberately controlled the direction of the ball's rebound.
Under Jose's control, the ball bounced back to Toprak.
However, something that left people speechless happened.
Toprak's clearance turned out to pass the ball to Romeu.
Jose is no stranger to Romeu, who came through the Barcelona academy, as both are Chelsea players.
Romeu spent last season on loan at Valencia, where Jose's Villa side also played against him.
Now that the two have changed teams, they can't imagine meeting again.
How could Romeu refuse in the face of a big gift sent to his door?
Immediately kicked up and volleyed into the top right corner.
Romeu believes that Jose, who is on the left side of the goal at this time, will definitely not be able to rush to the right side of the goal to make a save.
It's just that Romeu could have thought that Jose, whose strength is already extremely good, would still have a plug-in stunt.
I saw Jose rush to the right side of the goal at a sprinting speed, and then jumped lightly, and at the same time held up his left hand upward, incredibly, Romeu's shot directly out of the bottom line.
Stuttgart took their fourth corner of the game.
It was also their last corner of the game.
A corner kick is taken and a cross is made to the back spot.
However, when the ball flew over the penalty area, Jose jumped high and picked up the ball, which flew more than 3 meters high, from mid-air.
At this point, Stuttgart's offensive was declared futile.
In the remaining ten minutes, both sides had chances to shoot, but neither side managed to score.
In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won 3-0 against Stuttgart to add another clean sheet.
For a while, Jose's performance on the field became something that fans talked about.
And whenever fans talk about Jose, they inevitably mention Jose Mourinho and Courtois.
At this time, the Premier League also ended 8 rounds, with Chelsea topping the table with 7 wins and 1 draw, conceding only 8 goals.
Although it is not as good as Leverkusen who guards the goal, it is enough to gag the mouths of most fans.
The discussion between the fans, José naturally did not know.
However, there was something that made Jose slightly embarrassed by the Leverkusen team, which was the fifth set of broadcast gymnastics that he used to recharge, and it turned out to be popular.
The players found this gymnastics move, as a light warm-up exercise, to be very suitable, and much more interesting than the regular change of direction running.
Faced with this situation, José had no choice but to make mistakes.
Four days later.
On October 22, the Champions League group stage continued.
Bayer Leverkusen continue to play at home against Zenit St. Petersburg, a fighting nation.
Two years ago, at the deadline of the summer transfer window, Zenit signed Hulk Hulk from Porto for the price of a European king, which instantly improved their strength by more than a notch.
And in March this year, in order to further strengthen the team, they invited Boas, who is known as "Madman II".
They also strengthened their midfield in the summer transfer window with the signing of Xavi Garcia from Manchester City.
In the face of such Zenit, Schmidt and all the players did not dare to take it lightly.
The starting lists of both sides were not announced until a moment before the game.
For Bayer Leverkusen, Schmidt made three changes.
Russ Bender, Wendell and Donati were given starts, while Yedwai, Hilbert and Brandt were on the bench.
As for Zenit, Boas put on a 4231 formation, the specific list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Lodkin.
Defenders: Kristo, Lombarts, Garay, Anyukov.
Defenders: Faizulin, Xavi Garcia.
Attacking defenders: Danny, Witsel, Hulk.
Sudden center: Long Dong.
Radio gymnastics, don't take it seriously.
