Chapter 189: Returning Home (Daily Transition)

The next Champions League game will be played in three weeks' time.

However, the next Bundesliga game will be three days away.

On February 28, Bayer Leverkusen hosted 16th-placed Freiburg at the Bayer Arena.

Due to Bayern's 4-1 home win over Cologne in an earlier match, the points once again temporarily surpassed Bayer Leverkusen.

Therefore, this game cannot be missed for Jose, who aims to win the Bundesliga championship.

After the start of the game, the players of the pharmaceutical factory played very actively, but they couldn't score.

As for Freiburg, they only managed three shots on goal with five or five possession.

As soon as they get close to Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area, the pharmaceutical players will be desperate to press closely.

In the end, relying on Rolfes to pick up the leak in front of the goal, he won 1-0.

Temporarily retained the top spot.

Jose's clean sheet tally reached 18, leaving Neuer behind.

In midweek, the third round of the German Cup kicks off.

According to the draw, Bayer Leverkusen will face Kaiserslautern at home.

In this game, Schmidt rotated multiple people, and Jose sat on the bench.

As a result, the two sides played 0-0 in the course of 90 minutes.

Thankfully, the German Cup doesn't have the FA Cup's bizarre setting of a draw and a replay.

Extra-time was immediately played.

Due to the possibility of a penalty shootout, Schmidt shared two substitutions in the first 90 minutes, and the third substitution was naturally reserved for Jose.

José got up from the bench and he was going to warm up.

I don't know if it's because I saw Jose warming up on the sidelines, in extra time, Kaiserslautern no longer stuck to the rear, but began to take the initiative.

In doing so, Calhanoglu seized his chance and scored in the 103rd minute.

Kisling then went on the next and killed the game.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen successfully advanced to the next round.

Jose didn't play, but because of his appearance, the opponent felt that it was only them who lost when it came to the penalty shootout, so they changed their mindset and wanted to settle the battle in 120 minutes.

Jose never dreamed that he would just warm up on the sidelines and change the situation on the field.

Could it be that this is the shadow of the tree, the name of the man?

Jose naturally didn't know that the success rate of his penalty kick had already spread throughout the five major leagues.

As a result, it has been rumored that although Leverkusen has signed a two-year lease, it is basically impossible to complete the lease.

Seeing that Jose could not be reused by Mourinho, Real Madrid and other teams that were anxious to find a top goalkeeper began to ask Mendes about the possibility of Jose's transfer.

Jose is not concerned with these rumours, and he is enjoying his time at Bayer Leverkusen at the moment.

On March 8, the last match of the 24th round of the Bundesliga continued.

Bayer Leverkusen take on Boderborn away.

In this round of the Bundesliga, Bayern is still in front.

They won 3-1 away at Hannover 96 to once again surpass Bayer Leverkusen on points.

This repeated alternation of leads made both sides nervous to the extreme.

Paderborn are currently 16th in the table with a whopping 43 goals conceded, second only to Werder Bremen.

As for their attack power? José didn't care at all.

Spašić and Toprak returned at the same time, and with them to cooperate with him, Jose was absolutely sure of keeping a clean sheet against his opponent.

So, it's a game without suspense at all.

In the end, thanks to a brace from Son Heung-chou and a goal from substitute Papadopoulos, Bayer Leverkusen won 3-0 away.

It wasn't like he didn't have no chances in the game, he just couldn't get past Jose's goal.

After this campaign, due to the third-place Wolfsburg losing to Augsburg away, the difference between Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen reached 9 points, and the difference with Bayer Leverkusen reached 11 points, which can be said to have fallen out of the championship group.

There are no midweek games and the team gets two days off.

After coming back from the winter break, the players almost always played twice a week and really needed to relax.

José chose to fly back to London.

When he returned home, Jose did not see his parents, but only saw Senior Sister Leng Yu.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Jose found that Senior Sister Leng Yu doesn't wear a flight attendant uniform anymore, and she is still beautiful.

"What? Do I have something on my face? Feeling Jose's blazing gaze, Leng Yu's face turned slightly red, and then she said coquettishly.

"Ah, no, it's Senpai, I'm so beautiful, I..."

"Flim tongue, you must have coaxed a lot of ignorant girls, right?" Leng Yu didn't get angry, but quipped.

"Nothing." José retorted.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

"Sort of." Jose nodded.

"Wait a minute, I'll cook for you." After Leng Yu finished speaking, she turned around and went into the kitchen.

While the senior sister was cooking, Jose called his father.

That's when José learned that his parents had devoted most of their time to the restaurant.

Jose originally wanted his parents to come out and enjoy themselves, but now he makes his parents more tired than going to work.

"Mom and Dad, is there anything you can't leave to someone else to do?" Jose said.

"If someone else does it, how can it be more reassuring to do it yourself?" Mother asked rhetorically.

"Then you don't have to do everything yourself."

"It's okay, your dad and I will."

Jose knew that he couldn't convince his parents, so he stopped talking.

In just half an hour, Senior Sister Leng Yu made four dishes and one soup.

Its efficiency and taste surprised José.

"Am I amazing?" Leng Yu looked triumphant.

"These dishes must have been packed from the store, right?" Jose asked after tasting all the dishes.

"How do you know? Do you think I don't know how to cook? Leng Yu asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, it's very simple, from the time you enter the kitchen, the time before and after is only about 30 minutes, and these dishes, except for this salted cabbage sum, the other three dishes and one soup will not be ready in half an hour." Jose said.

"Oh, you seem to be smart. It's not that I can't do it, it's because I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I'm going to use this method. ”

"It's okay, that's good."

After eating, José went on a trip to Manchester.

Next to the Etihad Stadium, José saw his own restaurant full of Chinese elements.

I also met my parents, who were directing the workers' work.

Looking at the people of guests, José had an urge to promote Chinese cuisine to every city in Europe.

After a day and a half at home, José returned to Germany.

Although his parents insisted on being involved in every job at the restaurant, José did not regret letting his parents out, as he could easily see them.

……

On March 13, the 25th round of the Bundesliga began.

In this round, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart took the lead.

Stuttgart have fallen completely this season, finishing bottom of the table with just 20 points after 24 rounds.

In other leagues, there is the possibility of a vice-president overturning the top team, but in the Bundesliga, this is not possible.

In this game, if it is only from the game scene, whether it is the possession rate or the number of shots on goal, the two sides are almost the same, but the result is that the Leverkusen team won 4-0.

In the 32nd minute, Wendell opened the scoring and then Jose set up Dermic to extend the score with a goal kick.

At the end of the first half, they were already 2-0 up.

As for the opponent's several very dangerous shots, it was simply impossible to break Jose's ten fingers.

After this game, regardless of the results of Bayern and Werder Bremen, the pharmaceutical company still maintains the top position.

Being able to get ahead of Pep Guardiola's Bayern is enough to make Schmidt proud for a while.

Bayern Gua's was extraordinary, winning 4-0 away from home.

The points gap between the two sides still can't be widened.

The outcome of the league competition is unknown, while the Champions League knockout rounds continue.

On March 17, at 20:45 local time in Spain, the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final between Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen officially began.

Although Atletico lost 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg, they were still expected to progress to the last eight.

First of all, since 2000, Bayer Leverkusen have reached the round of 16 several times, but all of them failed to qualify for the last eight, and they truly live up to the Champions League 16.

Secondly, Simeone's Atletico Madrid have won eight of their last nine Champions League home games, with the exception of a 0-0 draw with Chelsea in the semi-finals last season, where they have conceded just two goals in those nine games.

In addition, Atletico Madrid has a huge advantage against Bundesliga teams, except for Bayern.

Before that, Bayer Leverkusen faced La Liga teams away from home, without a win, and all ended in defeat.

From the analysis of these situations, it can be concluded that even if Bayer Leverkusen has a goal advantage, the probability of promotion is still less than one percent.

Of course, José is convinced that records are meant to be broken.

Starting lists for both sides.

Compared to the first leg, Bayer Leverkusen made only one personnel change.

Toprak returned to the starting line-up and Papadopoulos was on the bench.

As for Atletico, there have been a number of changes compared to the first leg.

Among them, central defender Godin and defender Thiago are suspended, and Saul is also unable to make the squad due to injury.

In addition, captain Gabi sat on the bench.

Jose Jimenez, Mario Suarez, Carney and Koke were given a starting role in their replacements.

In addition, it was surprising that Pep Guardiola was present to watch the game.

Atletico kicked off first.

However, after the opening kick-off, both teams did not give up an inch of territory, and it was difficult to pass a few kicks in a row.

For fans who like to watch the game of pass, this is definitely not a high-level game.

However, it is this-for-tat competition that is more likely to arouse people's hormones.

In the first ten minutes, there were no threatening shots on goal from both sides.

Jose only moved slightly.

In the 20th minute, Jose took Mandzukic's shot and played the ball quickly.

Son Heung-min got the chance to face the opposing goalkeeper single-handedly.

It's just that Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper Moya didn't give Sun Xingchou a chance, he chose to attack to save the danger and shoveled the ball from Sun Xingchou's feet with his foot.

Although Moya managed to save the day, he also strained his left leg.

Simeone made a passive substitution.

Oblak came off the bench.
