Chapter 185: Big Trouble

Calhanoglu was in charge of free-kick opportunities.

Hit the door directly.

As a result, the ball went in.

Seeing that the ice was finally broken, José smiled.

My own design was not in vain.

Of course, Jose's design can work, and that has to do with the style of the Bundesliga.

Most of the Bundesliga teams, with the exception of Bayern, don't pay much attention to defense.

In Serie A, this is unlikely to happen, even in the Premier League, where tactical fouls are not used until the attackers are close to the penalty area.

After taking the lead, Jose never gave Bremen any more chances.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen by a narrow goal away to retain the top spot.

In the post-match summary, Bremen only had 38% possession and only 7 shots on goal, while 4 shots on target, 3 of which were extremely threatening, and if it weren't for Jose's unrelenting spirit, I'm afraid Leverkusen would have gone home with hatred.

Bayer Leverkusen had 62 per cent possession and had more shots than their opponents with 13, but only two shots on target showed that they were far less efficient.

After the match against Bremen, it was finally time for a week of adjustment.

Kai Havertz has finally made up his mind that he wants to go in the direction of the hidden front.

Kai Havertz believes that the striker can have more freedom to go up and shoot at goal, but also drop back to link up with his team-mates, which he finds cool and comfortable.

Jose didn't say anything about Havertz's decision, after all, he himself chose to become a goalkeeper because he couldn't play in the front position.

It's just that Havertz certainly didn't think about what to do when a team can't find a centre-forward at all.

In addition, as José slowly gained weight, it also caused concern for the goalkeeper coach.

Goalkeepers pay more attention to physical flexibility than physical confrontation ability.

However, seeing that Jose's agility did not decline in the slightest, he was relieved.

In addition to the increase in weight, Jose's height is actually slowly increasing, and now his height has exceeded the average height of goalkeepers in the five major leagues, reaching 193.88 centimeters.

His weight has also begun to move towards 85kg, but his body still looks very thin, which shows that his muscle density is very high.

Maybe that's why he's so agile.

Fulfilling time flies very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

February 14th, a day for couples around the world to show their affection.

Jose has no affection to show and what he has will be an important match.

At 15:30 local time in Germany, a key battle in the 21st round of the Bundesliga began.

Bayer Leverkusen host De Bruyne's VfL Wolfsburg.

This season, Wolfsburg has risen completely.

Not long ago, they won at home to Bayern Munich, giving Pep Guardi his first defeat of the season.

In addition to the strong record, Wolfsburg also did something that made Chinese fans argue.

On January 1, the winter transfer period opened, and Wolfsburg, led by Volkswagen, spent 1.5 million euros to bring in midfielder Zhang Xizhe from Huaxia.

It is safe to say that with the personnel of Wolfsburg, in the case of De Bruyne, Zhang Xizhe is not needed at all.

They introduced Zhang Xizhe for only one purpose, to open up the Chinese market.

Because of this, Chinese fans have ridiculed Zhang Xizhe as a "sales-oriented midfielder".

In the match against Wolfsburg, Jose certainly did not see Zhang Xizhe, because Zhang Xizhe failed to enter the squad at all.

Starting lists for both sides.

The main changes for Bayer Leverkusen were the return of Son Heung-chou to the starting line-up, Brandt on the bench, Papadopoulos starting at right centre-back and Toprak missing out on the squad.

As for Wolfsburg, the main changes were Dost replacing Bendtner as a central striker, Schurrle who moved from Chelsea in the winter as a left winger, and Vierinha dropping back to a right wing-back.

After the opening, the two sides attacked directly without scruples as if they were enemies.

In the 3rd minute, Kiessling passed the ball and the ball reached the feet of Bellabi.

From 15 yards out, Bellaraby volleyed a left-footed shot.

The ball hits the left side of the goal.

Benaglio made a flying save and single-handedly blocked the ball just outside the left post.

Bayer Leverkusen get their first corner.

Unfortunately, it failed to pose a threat.

In the 6th minute, Wolfsburg almost scored a goal.

Vierinha crossed from the right and Dost grabbed the first spot.

From 10 yards out, Dost headed the ball down towards the bottom left corner of the net.

This kind of extremely fast falling attack is difficult for the average goalkeeper to handle.

Jose knows very well that if he is not careful, he is likely to be scored by the opponent.

Use "Time and Space Pause" and pounce towards the left side of the goal.

In the bottom left corner, Jose blocked the ball with his thigh.

Caligiuri wanted to grab a penalty and was cleared out of the box by Sparšić.

In the 17th minute, Wolfsburg attacked again outside the penalty area.

Castro pushes Alexander-Arnold in defence.

Wolfsburg won a free-kick in front of him, and the penalty spot was around 32 yards away.

Wolfsburg centre-back Naldo was in charge of the free-kick opportunity and fired a powerful shot straight at goal.

The ball is fast and the flight path is extremely secretive.

Fortunately, Jose has God's perspective and the god-level prediction responds in advance, so he was able to detect the opponent's shooting intention in advance.

Without using the "time-out", José blocked Naldo's shot with a single punch.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, Jose could clearly feel that in order to break the opponent's goal, the players on both sides attacked with all their strength, and they began to ignore the defensive problem.

In the 29th minute, Jose had a misunderstanding with his teammates.

De Bruyne breaks through Hilbert and crosses from the left.

Spasic stepped forward to intercept.

Out of trust in his teammates, José did not choose to attack.

However, Spasic hesitated slightly, and the ball slipped past his feet.

Jose saw that Sparšić let the ball slip past due to indecisive interception, and secretly screamed in his heart.

After the ball got past Spašić, it continued to move towards the left side of the six-yard box, where the unmarked Dost had been waiting for a long time.

"Oh no, plane-time paused." José instinctively used the plug-in stunt.

However, it was still a little slower.

Five yards in front of goal on the left side of the penalty area, Dost received a pass from De Bruyne and fired a left-footed shot directly.

The ball immediately turned and rolled towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

Jose was still a little bit worse after all.

The ball went in.

Away team VfL Wolfsburg have a one-goal lead.

This is the first time Jose has allowed an opponent to score first since arriving at Bayer Leverkusen.

Prior to this, all the games in which Jose was involved had ended up losing the games in which the opponent scored first.

Will this game be different?

Although Jose is unwilling to concede this goal, he is powerless to change it.

It was found that Spašić, who was the anchor of the defender, looked a little timid after the opening, and his condition was even worse than Papadopoulos, who played as a guest at central defender.

Jose knows that this game is in big trouble.

In fact, Bayer Leverkusen fans should be grateful to Jose, Dost's two shots in the first half, replaced by other goalkeepers, are likely to score.

In the 34th minute, Wolfsburg attacked again outside the penalty area.

They are completely in the posture of completely defeating the Bayer Leverkusen team.

Rodriguez passes through midfield.

The ball easily broke through the Bayer Leverkusen defence and reached Schurrle's feet.

Schurrle faced Jose one-on-one and fired a half-volley to the left of the goal.

Jose leaped to his feet to block a lot of shots.

As a result, José almost failed to touch the ball.

Is the opponent going to score again?

No, Schurrle's shot was too wide and eventually hit the outside of the left post and bounced off the line.

Bayer Leverkusen escaped.

At the end of the first half, Wolfsburg took a one-goal lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Schmidt began to make substitutions, he replaced Dermic, Rolfes and Brandt, and Kiessling, Calhanoglu and Bender were replaced at the same time.

Schmidt's move, no matter how you look at it, does not seem like a rational act.

However, his substitution ultimately proved to be right.

In the 50th minute, Schurrle counter-attacked with the ball, and Spasic brought down the opponent from behind.

In the end, Sparšić got the first yellow card of the game, laying the groundwork for the accident that followed.

In the 57th minute, Bayer Leverkusen received a big gift.

Rolfes passes.

Velaraby shoots low from a tight angle on the right side of the penalty area.

Benaglio held the ball and stopped, only to get out of his hands and the ball leaked out of his crotch.

Son Heung-min decisively stepped forward and stabbed the ball, and the ball went into the goal.

Benaglio protests against Son Heung-chou for a foul.

But the referee believes that you leaked the ball yourself, and Sun Xingchou has no problem picking up the leak.

1 to 1.

It seems that Jose can break the embarrassment of losing the game if he concedes the goal first?

In the 62nd minute, Wolfsburg attacked on the wing.

Rodriguez sent the ball down the left and rolled along the edge of the six-yard box towards the right side of the box.

In the middle of the penalty area, Schurrle and Julijuri were already lying in ambush, ready to shoot at any moment.

Jose hurried to the center of the goal.

However, when the ball rolled to the centre of the box, Schurrle took a shot that turned out to be a fake.

The ball rolls to the right side of the goal.

Seven yards in front of goal, Dost still completed the shot despite the interference of Sparšić.

The ball flew towards the top right corner of the goal.

The shot was too close and was in the top right corner.

Even with the "timeout", Jose still couldn't stop the ball from grazing the crossbar into the net.

1-2, the away team Wolfsburg took the lead again.

With such a wonderful combination, it is no wonder that they were able to overturn Gua's Bayern.

Although Jose reacted quickly, the players on both sides today were obviously red-eyed and had already taken care of the past.

A minute later.

Papadopoulos plays a long pass at the back.

Son Heung-min successfully countered offside, and from 18 yards on the edge of the penalty area, he stabbed into the net.

2-2, the two sides were tied again.

The game went on to this extent, Jose also let go, he was no longer obsessed with losing the ball and not conceding the ball.

So he decided not to use the cheating for this game and see how many saves he could make.

In the 67th minute, Castro shared the ball and passed the ball to Son Heung-min.

On the right side of the penalty area, Son Heung-chou squeezed past the opposition defender and volleyed a left-footed shot into the near corner from 13 yards in front of goal.

Son scored a hat-trick in 11 minutes.

The score became 3-2 and Bayer Leverkusen reversed the score.

Jose saw hope of conceding first and then winning.

After reversing the score, Bayer Leverkusen continued to attack.

In the 72nd minute, Hilbert cleared the ball at the back.

Dermic rubbed the ball to Bellabi.

Bellaraby headed the ball lightly, got rid of the opposition defence, and then dribbled to the opponent's penalty area.

Pushing a shot from 13 yards in front of goal, the ball slipped under De Bruyne's crotch and into the net.

4 to 2.

In the stands of the home fans, bursts of laughter were heard.

In the 82nd minute, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Spašić was booked for a foul on Dost.

He can take an early break.

Bayer Leverkusen played one man less.

This season, Bayer Leverkusen have received a total of four red cards, which is the same as the points, and they are in the top spot in the Bundesliga.

With 10 minutes left in the game and one man missing, it is predictable that Wolfsburg will definitely launch a frantic counterattack.
