Hannover trailed by three goals and the manager began to make substitutions.

Sobiech, Alwonos and Bitancourt came off the bench, while Stindl, Prieb and Gülselam were substituted.

Subsequently, Hanover launched several attacks.

However, the ultimate attacking routine was too simple to threaten Jose's goal.

Bayer Leverkusen won 3-0 away.

Jose's performance in this match made those who questioned Jose's winning the Golden Boy award temporarily shut their mouths.

After this campaign, Bayer Leverkusen conceded only one goal in 12 league games, and the defensive solidity was outrageous.

When there are results, it is natural that there will be discussions about the contribution of the team and the individual merits.

Most fans believe that it was Jose who kept the goal from losing the goal with high and low blocks in the game.

There are also some fans who believe that it is the excellent performance of the Leverkusen team that can block the opponent's wave of attacks, so Sparšić has been mentioned by this part of the fans many times.

In addition, there are a small number of fans who believe that it is just that Leverkusen has not met a team with strong attacking power, and they believe that as long as Huang Saren makes a move, Leverkusen will be beaten into a sieve.

There are even fans who believe that Schmidt's youthful storm and aggressive fighting style are the main factors for Leverkusen's team to achieve this result.

In addition to analyzing the success factors of the Bayer Leverkusen team, there are also people shouting that the Bayer Leverkusen team is anti-football, and the fans want to watch the goals, not the clean sheets.

It is a society with distinct personalities, and everyone wants to express their different opinions.

José doesn't care what some people on the outside world think.

As powerful as Mero, there is a large group of sunspots picking and picking thorns behind them.

As Jose's attention grew, so did the number of brands they wanted to work with.

José didn't think much about the choice of brand, more often than not he would ask Mendez's opinion.

As a gold medal agent in Europe, Mendes clearly knows what brand to endorse can bring the best benefits.

On this day, José was ready to go home after training as usual.

Although the base canteen prepared dinner for all the players, Jose decided to go home and cook for himself, not because the food in the base canteen was bad, but because of the differences in his eating habits.

Just as he was about to call Havertz to ride with him, the phone rang.

It's Mendes' call.

Answering the phone, Jose heard Mendes' hearty voice: "Ho, the training is over, right?" ”

"Just finished, and I'm getting ready to go home." José replied.

"Don't rush home, I'm at the Marriott Hotel, you can come over now when you have time." After Mendez finished speaking, he sent Jose a locator.

According to the location, it is a 4-star hotel located on the Rhine River, which is not very far, about 15 kilometers away, and can be reached in half an hour by car.

"He, what are you looking at?" Just as Jose was on the road map, Havertz walked out of the base.

"Xiao Kai, I can't go with you today, I still have something to do." Jose said.

"Oh, see you tomorrow." Havertz didn't ask.

After saying goodbye to Havertz, José called a taxi.

Half an hour later, José was in the Marriott Hotel and met Mendez, who had not been seen for a long time.

Mendes has a large number of players, plus he has other industrial affairs, so under normal circumstances, his company will be responsible for the player-related business, and the number of times he can see him in person is not too much.

And now, he actually came in person.

Through the conversation, José finally learned why Mendez was looking for him.

It turned out that the two cola giants were eyeing Jose at the same time, and they both intended to invite Jose to join their spokesperson ranks.

Whether it is a red can of Coke or a blue can of Coke, the conditions given are almost the same, that is, they are exclusive, but the cost of red can cola is higher, while the cost of blue can cola is slightly lower.

Mendez needs to consult with Jose in person to decide which one to join.

Through Mendes's mouth, I learned that among the football players, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho have both endorsed red can cola, but now they have both terminated their contracts.

If Jose chooses to work with Red Can Coke, he will be the most famous football star among Red Can Coke spokespeople.

There are many football players who endorse Blue Can Coke, including Messi, Torres, Carlos, Ronaldinho, etc., and even Ronaldo is negotiating cooperation with Blue Can Coke.

After listening to Mendez's explanation, Jose wanted to choose to cooperate with Red Can Cola for a moment.

However, Mendez told José two things that made José change his mind on the spot.

The first thing is that Ronaldinho was unilaterally announced to terminate the contract by Red Can Coke because he drank a sip of Blue Can Coke, and Xiao Luo's endorsement fee was not collected.

The second thing is that Ronaldo in the early days actually liked Coke fried chicken, but he realized that Coke fried chicken was not good for the health of players, so he changed his habit of drinking Coke and eating fried chicken, and when the contract was renewed, Red Can Coke gave up on him.

Blue Can Coke, on the other hand, is not as demanding in these aspects, as long as it is not in public and in the same frame as competitors, it is not a big problem.

Hearing Mendez's words, José fell into deep thought.

José didn't drink Coke at all, he just drank very little.

José believes that talking about toxicity regardless of dose is a hooligan.

But he can't only drink a certain one.

In the end, José opted for the Blue Can Coke.

Although the endorsement fee is reduced by millions, it is also important whether the cooperation is happy or not.

After handing over the rest to Mendez, José took a taxi home.

On the way back, José was thinking about something.

Although the brand endorsement fee is very cool, the initiative is not in his own hands.

Is there any way out of this situation?

For a moment, José couldn't think of it.

Some fans may wonder that the salary of football players is so high, and it is not a little bit of money.

José thought so too.

But as my knowledge grew, I realized that I had too narrow a vision before.

People will always want more material comforts.

When a person can afford a car, he will no longer be willing to walk all the time.

In the past, as an academy player, you could accept to eat and live in the academy.

Now, with an increase in income, José no longer wants to eat in the dining hall.

Also because of income constraints, José also needs to cook by himself.

José has always thought that when the income is enough, he will hire a few nannies to sweep the floor and cook for himself and his parents.

If his income is further increased, he will follow Ronaldo's example to buy private jets, and learn from those public stars to do charity.

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

On November 26, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage continued.

Bayer Leverkusen host Monaco.

It is also the second leg of the Champions League group stage between the two teams.

Due to the fact that not long ago, in another match in the same group, Zenit won 1-0 at home to Benfica, Zenit got 7 points, and even if Monaco loses this game, as long as they win the last game against Zenit, they can still qualify from the group.

Benfica not only failed to qualify, but even failed to finish third in the group, so it can be said that the European journey of Portuguese Super League champions Benfica this season has come to an end.

In terms of the starting line-ups of both sides, some adjustments have been made.

Schmidt made a total of two changes compared to the first leg.

Wendell and Donati rotated at full-back, while Bonisch and Jedewai were on the bench.

In addition to the personnel, the formation was also adjusted and became a 442 formation.

As for Monaco, there are four adjustments.

Echekir, Abdenur, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Dillard were given starts, while Fabinho, Kurzawa, Ocampos and Kondogbia were on the bench.

Bayer Leverkusen kick off first.

Kiessling went straight back to Spašić.

And before the opposition player got closer, Sparšić passed the ball to Jose.

Jose was not in a hurry to get out of the ball after stopping the ball.

In this game, it can be said that it has little to do with the Leverkusen team, Schmidt's tactical arrangement is very simple, that is, to pass the ball slowly to ensure that there is no injury and a draw.

With a slight grip on the ball, Jose crossed to Donati.

Donati failed to push forward and passed back to Jose again.

As a result, the first minute, Jose became the player who passed the ball the most.

In the 5th minute, Son Heung-chou completed the first shot of the game.

It's a pity that it missed.

Surprisingly, Monaco also played unhurried in this game.

It wasn't until the 18th minute that Monaco had their first shot on goal.

Etchekiel crosses from the wing.

Young youngster Tiemoue Bakayoko stabs in front of goal.

It's a pity that the angle is too positive, not to mention that it is difficult for Jose, even ordinary goalkeepers can easily win it.

However, the stabbing shot just now shows that Bakayoko has a good sense of smell in front of goal, and he may have the opportunity to play in the giants in the future.

In the 21st minute, Kiessling almost opened the scoring.

Bender's through ball into the box.

From 12 yards in front of goal, Kiessling took the ball and fired hard.

The ball first flew past Carvalho and then towards the bottom right of the goal.

Just as the ball was about to reach the goal line, Subabasic flew in and blocked the ball off the line.

It was Bayer Leverkusen's first shot from inside the goal.

A corner kick is cleared out of the box by Carvalho.

In the end, the two sides exchanged blanks in the first half.

Bayer Leverkusen had eight shots on goal and only one on target, and the form of the players was worrying.

As for Monaco, they also had just two shots on goal, hitting the back of the net just once.

Likewise failed to test José.

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

There hasn't been much change in the pace of the two sides.

In the 47th minute, Monaco had another good chance.

Coutinho crosses from the wing.

Berbatov topped the first drop point.

However, his header was too angled and was punched out by Jose.

The ball lands in the penalty area.

Toprak stepped forward to clear the ball out of the box.

Suddenly, a figure flew in and rushed to complete the supplementary shot.

That's Monaco striker Dillard.

Dillard fired a powerful shot into the bottom right corner.

At this point, Jose was still on the left side of the goal.

Did anyone think that Ronaldo had endorsed K Ji back then.
