In the 55th minute, Schalke 04 had a quick counterattack.

Högel passes the ball and the ball goes to the left side of the box.

Ogo takes the ball, shakes off Donati and crosses.

Huntelaar heads home.

José took it straight into his arms.

Goal kick is taken.

In the case of one less player, the battle for the midfield is completely at a disadvantage.

A minute later, Schalke 04 was in front of him again.

Huntelaar drops back to get the ball.

Diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Obsi receives a pass from Huntelaar and volleys it over.

José leaped forward and pinned his opponent's shot to the ground.

This time, Jose made a long pass directly to the midfield.

Son Heung-chou received a pass from Jose and tried to break through the opponent's defense, but was dragged to the ground by Hevedes.

Son Heung-cho quickly takes a free-kick.

It's a pity that the opposing players have returned to the defense in place.

The minutes passed without the same change in the score.

Do you want to be stuffy again?

Schmidt walked to the sidelines and shouted at the Bayer Leverkusen players: "Run, run." ”

In the case of one less player, the best way to make up for the difference in numbers is to run actively.

Bayer Leverkusen's players have picked up the speed despite the physical exertion.

In the 73rd minute, Schalke 04 got another corner kick opportunity.

The corner was taken and they were clearly looking for a long pass from the far post.

Unfortunately, the ball did not fly high enough and was picked up by Jose in mid-air.

After getting the ball, Jose took a look at the front of the field.

The vast majority of the players were in the box guarded by Jose at this time.

In the middle circle, there are only three players: Sun Xingchou and the opposing players Hegel and Aihan.

A good opportunity to fight back quickly.

Jose decisively made a long pass behind the opponent.

Sun Xing was stunned and immediately rushed towards the opponent's half.

Hegel and Aihan chased after him.

In the face of Son Xingchou's one-handed ball, Ferman quickly ran towards his own penalty area.

On the periphery of the penalty area, Hegel finally caught up with Sun Xingchou.

Without any hesitation, Hegel directly pushed Sun Xingchou outside the penalty area with a direct push of his hand.

Bayer Leverkusen get a free-kick in front.

Calhanoglu is in charge of handling.

Hit the door directly.

The ball went in.

With one man less, relying on a set-piece, Bayer Leverkusen led their opponents by one goal.

"Great." Schmidt was excited on the sidelines.

Calhanoglu celebrated, and he only then remembered that it was Jose who played the ball in time to have the free kick opportunity that Son Xingchou fought for.

Calhanoglu gave José a thumbs up.

Seeing Calhanoglu praising himself, José just smiled slightly, and did not show any invitation.

With a one-goal lead, Schmidt began to make substitutions.

Defender Hilbert came off the bench to replace Bellabi.

Schmidt decided to step up his defense.

And Schalke 04, which was behind, began to fight back wildly.

Although Bayer Leverkusen was in danger in front of goal, only the last shot on goal, it was really difficult to threaten Jose, but Schalke 04 was never able to change the score.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen, who played one less, won by one goal, giving Di Matteo his first defeat after taking office.

With Bayern drawing with Borussia Mönchenchen, Bayer Leverkusen are back at the top of the table.

The record of 7 wins, 2 draws and only one goal conceded is extremely conspicuous in the five major leagues.

After the game, the media believed that it was Jose who withstood Schalke 04's attack to have Calhanoglu score to win.

At the same time, some media reporters began to question, does Mourinho's choice of Courtois really show that Courtois is stronger than Jose?

As a result, fans, media reporters, expressed their opinions, and a list of Mourinho's missed talents appeared.

Kevin De Bruyne, who has moved to Wolfsburg, Mohamed Salah who has left for Fiorentina in Serie A, Romelu Lukaku who has moved to Everton, and even Carvajal are all on the list.

The appearance of this list made those who didn't like Mourinho in the first place start to get excited, and they finally found a reason to deal with Mourinho.

Faced with questions from these media reporters, Mourinho had only one sentence: "I just looked at the standings and we are the leaders." ”

José only glanced at the strife in the outside world and stopped paying attention.

The reporter's questioning of the madman will not improve his strength, only after he has worked hard to make achievements, can he stand in front of Mourinho in front of him and tell him in person, "Your choice is wrong." ”

In addition, the female fans are getting bolder, which makes Jose painful and happy.

In the middle of the week, the second round of the German Cup kicks off.

According to the results of the draw, Bayer Leverkusen's opponent is Bundesliga side Magdeburg.

In this game, Schmidt made a big turnaround.

Leno was given a start, while Jose was on the bench.

After all, Leno also needs to play occasionally to stay in shape.

Just three minutes into the game, Calhanoglu broke the deadlock with a free-kick.

However, the opponents soon equalised.

In the end, the two sides fought to 1-1 in 90 minutes.

In extra time, the opponent scored the first goal.

Papadopoulos then equalised.

The two sides went to penalties.

Jose came off the bench.

With Spasic and Kiessling missing points one after another, Jose made three consecutive saves to lead the team to win the penalty shootout.

Bayer Leverkusen were lucky enough to make it to the next round.

Shortly after the German Cup match, José received an invitation from Torino Sport.

They invited José to travel to Turin, Italy, on November 9 to attend the ceremony of the European Golden Boy Awards.

For such an invitation, José, of course, will not refuse.

And with more and more information revealed, it is almost certain that this year's European Golden Boy Award will be won by Jose.

Being able to win the Golden Boy Award shows that Jose has enough weight in the hearts of media people.

And as publicity increases, José's influence will be further enhanced.

Therefore, some brand manufacturers who originally held a wait-and-see attitude began to come to the door.

Mendez's brokerage company, finally played his part.

On October 31, José did not attend training with the team because he received an advertising contract.

This time, the brand side is the famous Huami mobile phone in Huaxia.

José only glanced at the details of the contract and handed it over to Mendez's agent, who only needed to do what he needed to do.

The advertising shoot for Huami mobile was arranged on the beach by the sea.

It's a highly imaginative mobile ad.

First of all, Jose took Huami's mobile phone and discussed with his coaches and teammates where to go for training.

Immediately afterward, a group of hackers appear on the screen, trying to hack Jose's phone in an attempt to crack key information, but no matter how much they try, they are unable to hack even half a step.

At this time, Jose's various saves during the game were cut out.

The hackers were like Jose's attackers, using all their means, but it was difficult to get past half a point.

After fending off the hackers, José and his team gathered and trained on the beach by the sea.

During the training, in the face of mud, sand, sea water and various collisions, Huami's mobile phone is still indestructible.

At the end of the advertisement, an advertising slogan jumps out.

"Huami mobile phone, protect you and me."

As soon as the advertisement was broadcast, it immediately resonated.

Because this is too much in line with Jose's career positioning.

The person who can come up with this advertising scene must be a genius. (Voiceover, author's friend: I've seen myself boasting about myself, but I've never seen myself boasting about myself so shamelessly.) ）

Although Huami mobile phone advertising is just a small episode, it also has more ideas for those brand manufacturers who have the intention of cooperation.

Before you know it, October has passed, and Germany is beginning to enter late autumn.

On November 1, the 10th round of the Bundesliga began.

Bayer Leverkusen travel to Hamburg, who are in the relegation zone.

In the 20th minute, Hamburg had a quick counter-attack.

In the box, Wendell defended and brought down Janssen.

Hamburg gets a penalty.

Van der Vaart takes the penalty.

There are very few people in the world today who know the shortcomings of Jose's penalty shoot-off, and that certainly does not include Van der Vaart.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Jose will allow the opposition to score a penalty.

In the end, after a dull battle, the two sides played 0-0.

In the post-match summary, both teams had one shot on goal on target.

In the whole game, apart from saving a penalty, Jose made only two saves.

It was the easiest game Jose had since he arrived at Bayer Leverkusen.

With Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich beating Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at home, Bayer Leverkusen once again slipped to second place on goal difference.

And Wolfsburg, which got De Bruyne, is in third place.

Jose can't help much with the team's lack of attack, he just needs to keep the goal and keep the goal from conceding, which is enough.

Calhanoglu's free-kick technique is not too bad.

Although there were some free-kick opportunities that Jose was more sure of, Jose did not want to take the risk of taking a free-kick.

That's because Jose intends to use his free-kick skills as a secret weapon to be used at crucial moments.

…

After returning from Hamburg, getting off the team bus, José went straight home.

By this time, it was getting late, and the sun had already set.

When he stepped out of the elevator of the apartment, he saw a blonde girl about 175 cm tall standing at the door of his apartment.

The woman was facing away from the elevator door, facing the door of Jose's house, looking hesitant to knock on the door.

Although I can't see the woman's appearance, judging from her back, she is definitely a first-class beauty.

Jose is certain that he has not met the other party.

"Ahem." José coughed lightly, deliberately making a little noise.

Hearing José's voice, the blonde girl hurriedly turned around, and when she saw José's appearance clearly, she immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Are you José?" Is it really Jose? I finally met a real person. ”

"I am." Jose nodded.

There are often female fans looking for him to sign autographs and take photos, so I don't feel strange at all for the appearance of this blonde girl.

At this time, José finally saw the girl's appearance clearly.

I saw that the girl had a well-defined awl face, a slender nose, a pair of blue eyes full of charm, and her snow-like skin shone in the light.

This is a Germanic beauty of pure blood.

"It's so late, are you okay?" Jose asked.

"My name is Josephine Delden, can you sign me?" The blonde girl asked expectantly.

"Absolutely." Jose's biggest flaw is that he doesn't know how to reject people, especially beautiful women.

Hearing José's words, the girl, Josephine Delden, quickly pulled out a notebook from her pocket.

The cover of the book turned out to be a photo taken by Jose when he won the Europa League.

Taking the notebook, José signed his name.

Originally, José thought that this was the end of the matter.

However, what happened next caught him a little off guard.

(This matter will be followed up, and I will write it later.) ）
