Sure enough, Wolfsburg pressed all but the goalkeeper to Bayer Leverkusen's half.

"Defense, defense." Jose shouted at his teammates.

Because Spašić was sent off with a red card and the substitutions had been used up, a change of formation was inevitable.

Schmidt gestured from the sidelines, Bonisch moved closer to the centre and Rolfes moved to left-back.

Castro, Bellarabi, Son Xingchou, and Brandt formed a grinding midfield, leaving only Dermic in front.

After the change of formation, although the situation was temporarily stabilized, there was still one less person in the end, and it was still difficult to face the Wolf Castle pressed on the whole line.

Rolfes, Bonisch, Papadopoulos, and Castro received yellow cards one after another, which blocked wave after wave of Wolfsburg impact.

In the 84th minute, a foul by Papadopoulos gave the opponent a free kick from the edge of the box.

The proximity of the penalty spot shows the importance of the human wall.

Through God's perspective, José hurriedly organized his teammates to line up the human wall.

Because there was one person missing, Dermic, who remained in the front, could only be withdrawn.

This time, it was Naldo who took the free-kick.

Directly volleyed hard, and the ball rolled under the foot of the wall.

"Good time." José smiled at the corner of his mouth and let out a loud shout.

When arranging the human wall just now, Jose deliberately left the next three lanes without arranging personnel to intercept, which was not only because of the lack of manpower, but also because of the intention of luring the opponent.

After shooting arbitrarily, Naldo saw that José had been prepared, and secretly regretted in his heart, he knew that he had been tricked.

Naldo's shot was extremely fast, but not as fast as Jose, who was still more than 20 yards away.

Careful thought allowed Jose to easily deflect this free-kick opportunity from his opponent.

Jose didn't rush the goal kick.

It took a little more than a dozen seconds for Jose to pass the ball to Rolfes on the wing.

Bayer Leverkusen counter-attacked, but unfortunately in the end Dermic missed.

A minute later, De Bruyne drove the ball forward and suddenly passed the ball on the run and hit the back of the Bayer Leverkusen defence.

There is no official central defender on the field at this time, and it is not surprising that he was penetrated by the opponent.

Dost burst out from the right and got a one-on-one chance.

In the face of Dost's one-on-one knife, Jose chose to strike decisively this time.

Fifteen yards into the box, Jose was on the verge of meeting Dost.

Just as Dost was about to shoot, Jose used the "Time Pause" plug-in, which broke his original plan.

I saw Jose rush towards Dost at great speed, and then made a flying tackle with both feet, shoveling the ball away from Dost's feet.

Jose's attack saved the opponent's one-on-one chance.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Wolfsburg's last attack.

In fact, at this time, the general trend of Wolf Castle has gone, but they still do not give up.

Vierinha crosses from the right.

The ball flew through the crowd and to the left side of the penalty area.

Substitute Hunt got on the ball and opted for a header.

By this time, Jose had followed the ball to the left side of the goal.

Hunt's header is blocked by Jose with one hand.

The ball flew towards the crowd.

In the penalty area, there was chaos, and several people touched the ball one after another.

Just as Jose was getting up from the ground, Dost was the last to kick the ball.

Volley directly towards the goal.

The ball was extremely fast, first touching a player's calf, changing direction slightly, and then rolling towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Jose didn't bother to stand still and pounced straight towards the ball.

Unfortunately, without the use of the plug-in, Jose was unable to prevent the ball from rolling into the goal, although his fingers touched the ball.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won 4-3 at home to Wolfsburg.

This is the first time since Jose's debut that he has finally won after conceding a goal first, and it is also the first time since Jose's debut that he has conceded three goals in a single game.

Despite conceding three goals, all the media after the match praised Jose's performance in the game.

After the game, everyone agreed on one thing, if it weren't for Jose's high and low block, Wolfsburg's goals would have been more than 5.

At the end of the game, Wolfsburg had only 15 shots on goal, but the number of shots on goal reached a terrifying 12, and at a 50% conversion rate, Wolfsburg should have scored six goals.

Not only did Wolfsburg have an impressively high shooting percentage, but Leverkusen also had a frightening shooting percentage, hitting seven of their 13 shots on goal, with a conversion rate of nearly 60 per cent.

It can be said that it is completely an undefended game.

After this campaign, Bayer Leverkusen accumulated 51 points and retained the top spot.

Wolfsburg, on the other hand, are still in third place, with six points separating them from Bayern.

It is worth mentioning that in this round of the game, Bayern slaughtered the Hamburg team 8-0 at home, Muller, Gotze and Robben scored two goals, and Lewandowski and Ribery added the icing on the cake.

Although Bayer Leverkusen are ahead of Bayern, most people almost agree that the title belongs to Bayern.

A week later, on February 21, the 22nd round of the Bundesliga continued.

Bayer Leverkusen will take on sixth-placed Augsburg away.

Rivals Bayern Munich are also playing away from home, albeit against 13th-placed Birdborn.

Lewandowski scored twice in the first half.

In the second half, the opponent's left wing-back Hartz was awarded a red dot for a foul in the box.

Arjen Robben scored from the penalty spot, killing the suspense of the game early.

Bayern beat their opponents 6-0.

Once again, the pressure is on Bayer Leverkusen's side.

Although the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played in three days, Schmidt still sent all the main players.

Bayer Leverkusen kicked off first and had their first shot on goal.

It's a pity that Bellarabi's shot went high.

In the 8th minute, Jose made a long pass from the backfield, and the ball reached the feet of Sun Xingchou.

The pharmaceutical company got the first quick counterattack opportunity of the game.

Son Xingchou returned a pass from the left side of the penalty area.

Dermic followed up and was blocked.

However, the ball was not rolled wide and Dermic fired back into the empty net.

The ball went in.

Bayer Leverkusen have a one-goal lead away from home.

"Don't look at it, the pharmaceutical company is ahead, and this game will be won." There are fan messages.

However, it's not that simple.

Despite falling behind, Augsburg was firmly in control of the tempo.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Augsburg almost equalized.

HLD position, Bayer hobs a cross into the penalty area.

Cayubi, who came on as a substitute, successfully countered offside.

Facing Jose single-handedly, Cayubi was very calm.

He opted to shoot into the far corner.

Jose had to use a "timeout" to keep his opponent's one-on-one ball out of danger.

Without Spašić, the defender's anchor, the concentration of the defense has always been a little bit worse.

The game continues.

Although Bayer Leverkusen had much less possession than their opponents, they were very threatening on the counter-attack.

In the 84th minute, Cayubi's shot was directly confiscated by Jose.

Jose took a quick goal kick and tossed it straight to right wing-back Hilbert.

Hilbert took the ball and advanced all the way down the wing, and in the blink of an eye it was already on the right side of the penalty area.

Glancing inside the box, Hilbert crosses high.

Substitute Lezner heads home.

The ball went in again.

Bayer Leverkusen led their opponents by two goals.

The Augsburg fans began to withdraw from the field, and most of the game was already over, and Jose's goalkeeping ability, even if they didn't pay attention to the game, they had heard that as long as Bayer Leverkusen was ahead, it was absolutely impossible to lose.

Just when Bayer Leverkusen fans thought they would get another clean sheet, there was a little surprise on the pitch.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Augsburg was awarded a corner.

All the Augsburg players, including Hitz, poured into the Pharmacy penalty area.

The corner kick was taken, and the opposing goalkeeper Hitz headed it to the first spot.

However, Hitz's header angle was a little worse and was blocked by Jose's double fists.

After the ball flew out of the penalty area, it was still under Augsburg's control.

Parker crosses from the right.

Jose was ready to make a block, but Rolfes had already taken the lead.

Jose stopped his attack.

However, something that left people speechless happened.

Rolfes made a mistake in clearing and kicked the ball in front of Hitz.

From three yards in front of goal, Hitz fired a direct half-volley.

At such a close distance, Jose couldn't save the ball even with a "timeout".

Unfortunately, Jose missed a chance to keep a clean sheet.

And it was Jose's ten fingers that broke through the opponent's goalkeeper Hitz.

The goalkeeper should not be embarrassed by the goalkeeper.

According to the data, after scoring the goal, Hitz became the third goalkeeper in the history of the Bundesliga to score in a sports battle.

Before him, Dost (31 March 2002) and Lehmann (19 December 1997) had scored in the open field.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won 2-1 away to retain their top spot ahead of the Champions League knockout rounds.

In the two games, the number of goals conceded by Bayer Leverkusen has skyrocketed to 6 goals, only 3 goals less than Bayern.

As the match against Atletico Madrid draws closer, the players are training more and more seriously.

During this time, José received a call from his father.

Things have been done in the restaurant, and the only thing that hasn't been decided is the main menu.

In this regard, Jose directly told his parents that he should focus on Cantonese cuisine and then serve a little other cuisine.

José naturally had a reason for doing this.

Although there are quite a few excellent dishes in other cuisines, due to eating habits, Europeans prefer fresh Cantonese cuisine to most spicy and heavy dishes.

After setting the tone of the main dishes, Jose no longer made any comments, after all, it still needs to be verified by the market before further adjustments can be made.

On February 25th, a special day arrived.

In the 1/8 final of the Champions League, the first leg between Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid will start today.

At the same time, today is also José's twentieth birthday.

The whole team unanimously said that they had to win this game and congratulate Jose as a birthday present.

And before the start of the game, Jose received a congratulatory message from Asuka Saito.

Jose learned that after Asuka Saito returned to Japan, in addition to returning to school, she began to develop into the entertainment industry.

For some reason, hearing about Asuka Saito's choice, Jose's heart swelled with a sense of jealousy.

What was originally his own collection is now on public display.
