At 21 o'clock local time in Germany, the game officially began.

Bayer Leverkusen kick off first.

José was on the lookout.

He never imagined that this would be the easiest game since he came to the Bundesliga.

Hertha Berlin had just two shots on goal in the whole game, both of which were off target.

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

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

It would be nice if it was like that for every game.

Easy and with a clean sheet bonus, why not?

You know, 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, thanks to Kiessling's only goal in the second half, Bayer Leverkusen won 1-0 away at Hertha Berlin.

After this campaign, Bayer Leverkusen reached 45 points, one point ahead of Bayern, and regained the top position.

Compared to being at the top of the table, what is even more remarkable is that after 19 rounds of league games, Leverkusen has conceded only 2 goals.

Bayern have conceded goals in three consecutive rounds, including a big loss to Wolfsborough in the 18th round, and their number of goals has climbed to nine.

At this point, a long-standing record has been mentioned, that is, the record of the fewest goals conceded in the season set by Mourinho's team, will it be broken by Bayer Leverkusen or Bayern?

For now, Jose's Bayer Leverkusen team has the best hope.

…

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

José is busy training most of the time, taking muscle building pills to adjust his physical condition, in addition, he occasionally participates in the shooting of a commercial or two, and his life is very fulfilling.

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

Although the Manchester area is not as prosperous as London, it is better than the cheap rent, and the Premier League has two big clubs here, attracting no less fans every year than London.

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

After thinking about his parents' decision, José made up his own opinions, and left them to his parents to deal with.

However, there is also one thing that makes Jose feel slightly embarrassed, that is, Jose's mother has secretly asked many times whether Leng Yu is Jose's girlfriend.

No matter what José explained, his mother never believed it.

Since explanations were useless, José simply did not explain.

On February 8, the 20th round of the Bundesliga continued.

Bayer Leverkusen take on Werder Bremen away.

A day earlier, Bayern had won 2-0 away at Stuttgart and had temporarily surpassed Bayer Leverkusen in points.

So, for Bayer Leverkusen, it's a game that can't afford to lose.

In terms of the starting line-up, there was only one personnel change compared to the previous game, with the return of the defender and Papadopoulos on the bench.

In addition, Son Heung-chou and Dermic also failed to get starters, and in the selection of left wingers, Schmidt chose Brandt as the starter.

As for Werder Bremen, it can be said that compared to the first leg, it can be said that it is a big change.

After most of the season, they have also found the most stable lineup, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Rafael Wolff.

Defenders: Stenberg, Westgaard, Galves, Gebre Selassie.

Single midfielder: Bagfred.

Midfielders: Felix Kroos, Fritz, Yunuzovich.

Forwards: Selke, Bartels.

On the bench sat Oztunali, who had played for the pharmaceutical company at the beginning of the season.

With Oztunali on loan at Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen did not add an evasive clause.

Bayer Leverkusen were given the first kick-off.

Kiessling went straight back to Spašić, who in turn returned to Jose.

Before the opposition player could get closer, Jose kicked the ball to Bellarabi.

Velaraby broke through after taking the ball, and in a blink of an eye he was already on the right side of the opponent's penalty area.

Bellaraby crossed from the bottom line, but couldn't get past the opposition's defence.

Bayer Leverkusen's first wave of attack failed to pose a threat.

Bremen's counterattack.

Serrasi cut inside on the flank, shook off Wendell and passed to the right side of the penalty area.

The ball is at the feet of Bartels.

On the right side of the penalty area, 15 yards in front of goal, Bartels fired a powerful shot.

The ball flew towards the near corner of the goal.

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

Jose didn't make a save in the face of the opposition's shot, as he could tell at a glance that Bartels' shot had been badly deflected from the goal.

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

The game continues.

The midfield scramble was fierce.

In terms of possession, Bayer Leverkusen clearly had the upper hand.

It's just the last shot, and most of them are far from the same.

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

Bartels picked up the ball on the right side of the penalty area and attracted three pharmaceutical players to defend it.

Faced with a three-man block, Bartels retreated slightly, dipped past Spašić and passed the ball.

The ball rolls towards the left side of the penalty area.

On the left side of the box, eight yards out in front of goal, an unmarked Selke received a pass from Bartels.

Selke shoots straight with his feet.

The ball left only an afterimage and rolled towards the bottom of the centre of the goal.

For this kind of extremely fast low flat ball, the vast majority of goalkeepers are not easy to handle.

Although Jose is more than 80% sure that he will block it, there is still a small probability that the ball will roll into the goal by grazing his legs.

Without any luck, Jose directly used the plug-in.

One second, enough for Jose to sit down.

So when the ball rolled in front of the goal, Jose was already like a hill, blocking the ball's rolling path.

Jose blocked Selke's dangerous shot with his body.

The ball didn't roll far.

In the confusion, Fritz made a second shot.

It's a pity that it missed.

Bremen squandered a great chance to score.

A minute later, Brandt forced his way into the box with the ball.

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

It was Bayer Leverkusen's first shot on target of the game.

It was still Bayer Leverkusen who had the ball.

Unfortunately, Calhanoglu's long-range shot from outside the box went high.

Calhanoglu is very skilled in free-kicks, and Jose doesn't think he's much better than his opponent.

But Calhanoglu's finishing ability in athletic warfare has always been unsatisfactory.

Most of his goals this season have come from set-pieces.

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

Bremen had a chance to counter-attack.

Fritz crosses diagonally into the box.

It was blocked by Toprak's header.

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

Jose rushed to the left side of the goal.

However, just after Jose pounced, the unexpected happened.

Due to coordination problems, Toprak actively intercepted, but the result was unsuccessful, but his calf rubbed the ball slightly.

The ball, which was heading towards the left side of the goal, immediately deflected and rolled towards the center of the goal.

At this point, Jose couldn't stop moving.

Either way, Jose first used the "Time Pause" stunt, and then thought about countermeasures in a very short time.

"I can only gamble."

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

That's just the point where his feet can reach the ball's path.

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

Bayer Leverkusen escaped.

"It's amazing, I've never seen a goalkeeper save like this."

"Hell and heaven are only in a moment."

The game continues.

After that, the two sides slowly stabilized their positions, and for a while, no one could help the other.

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

Could it be that this is going to be another dull flat?

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

Under the Bayer Leverkusen team, Bremen's possession rate fell further, but their counter-attack was more threatening.

In the 58th minute, Bremen won a free kick in front.

The penalty spot is approximately 28 yards.

Without José's command, his teammates were already lined up.

Junuzovic takes the free-kick.

Standing in front of the goal, Jose had a faint feeling of bad premonition.

"What the hell is the problem?" José hurriedly opened God's perspective.

"This wall is wrong." José saw the flaws in the human wall from God's point of view.

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

Jose knew at a glance that if Junuzovic's shot arced wide enough, he could have allowed the ball to fly over Wendell's head before hitting the near corner.

This time, Jose will need to defend the two top corners.

Free kick is taken.

Sure enough, Yunuzovic volleyed straight into the near corner.

The ball grazed Wendell's scalp, went over the wall, and then spiked towards the top left corner of the goal.

Jose used "time-space pause" for the first time.

Although the shot was from a full 25 yards, the speed of the ball made it no easier to save than a penalty kick.

In the end, Jose tried his best to shoot Yunuzovich's free kick with one hand and lifted the bottom line.

Bremen won their third corner of the game.

The corner kick was taken and Jose confiscated it directly.

Jose even used a cheating to win the corner, as he saw a great opportunity to counter-attack.

Before the opposition was about to take a corner, Jose let Calhanoglu sneak away close to the midfield.

After winning the ball, Jose did not pause and kicked the goal kick directly.

Calhanoglu was already ready and when Jose kicked off, he began to sprint towards the opposition half.

Unfortunately, Calhanoglu's speed was not his advantage, and he was eventually pushed down from behind by the opposing defender.

Bayer Leverkusen win a free-kick on the right side of the pitch.
