As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 114 You Are Our Patron Saint
"Didn't you say that the La Liga team is very good? That's it?"

After the game, Jose pretended to be very contemptuous, and said something to the Spanish sky, and he still used Spanish.

The result of the match between Villa and Valencia caused a huge repercussions in Spain.

People have focused on whether Lamy should get a red card.

Jose naturally doesn't pay attention to the fans' discussions.

In fact, Jose believes that this kind of behavior of discussing referees after the game is meaningless.

Because the result cannot be changed.

In fact, Lamy's direct red card is not unjust, because Benteke, who got a single chance, is tantamount to a goal.

Of course, Lamy's foul, if in the Premier League, would be a yellow card at most.

The Villa team got a good start in the European war, and the whole team was very happy.

No chance to rest.

Because this weekend, the Villa team will go to the Carrow Road Stadium to challenge Norwich away.

According to the schedule, the match between Norwich and Villa was scheduled for 12:45 noon.

This is a sleepy time.

The Premier League company, in order to take care of Asian fans and get higher broadcast ratings, arranges a game to be played at noon every week.

The starting lineups of the two sides have not changed much, and of course there are no bright spots.

So even though the game time is very suitable for Asian fans, there are actually not many people watching the game.

Huaxia's live broadcast platform didn't even arrange a special commentary.

"Brothers, just finished eating, which side is optimistic about this game?"

"Looking at the handicap, I personally feel that Norwich wins and loses."

"I think it is likely to be a draw. Villa beat Valencia in the middle of the week. Their physical strength should not have recovered."

"Makes sense."

……

Villa got the right to kick off first, and Norwich gave priority to the direction of attack that was beneficial to them.

With the referee's whistle sounded.

The game started.

Benteke passed the ball straight to Vlaar, and then ran quickly towards the opponent's half.

Vlaar then passes the ball to Jose.

Jose takes possession of the ball a little bit and plays a long pass into the midfield before the opposition player gets close.

Villa's midfield advance.

In the 3rd minute, Weiman found a chance to shoot on the left side of the penalty area, but unfortunately hit the post in the middle and far corner.

Villa missed the chance to take the lead.

At the same time, Norwich got a chance to counterattack.

Three minutes later, Norwich's offense was pushed into the Villa penalty area.

"Pay attention to number 10." Jose reminded.

As soon as the words fell, Norwich player Javier Gary made a cross from the side.

Then it hit Clark on the arm.

"Beep, beep" two whistles sounded.

Villa was awarded a penalty.

"I didn't open my hand, the ball hit me." Clark was very unconvinced and shouted at the referee.

However, the referee simply ignored it.

When Clark was about to defend himself, Jose stopped him: "Siron, stop talking and leave it to me."

Hearing Jose's words, Clark finally stopped trying to justify, but said to Jose: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay." Jose smiled slightly.

Norwich No. 7 player Snodgrass took the penalty.

The success rate of Jose's penalty kick has already spread throughout the Premier League, and the pressure on Snodgrass can be imagined.

"Beep." The referee signaled that a penalty kick could be kicked.

"Time and space. Huh?"

When Snodgrass touched the ball, Jose was about to perform a stunt, and then he found that the opponent's penalty had no difficulty.

Snodgrass' penalty went straight to the bottom left.

Jose had already seen through it from his run-up, and Jose thought that the other party was confusing him, but in fact it was Jose who was thinking too much.

No stunts were used.

Jose blocked the opponent's penalty kick with one hand.

Then Vlaar, who was quickly rushed into the penalty area, cleared out of the penalty area first.

Norwich's closest shot in the game was easily blocked by Jose.

"Jose, you are our patron saint." Such singing sounded from the Villa fans' stands.

The game continues.

In the 28th minute, Benteke was injured in a tackle.

New aid Kozak came off the bench.

After 1 minute, Weiman made a direct pass behind Norwich.

Kozak got a single chance.

Unfortunately, Kozak's shot was blocked by the Norwich goalkeeper.

The ball did not go far from the penalty area and was taken by Abang Lahuo.

Near the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area, Abang Laho made an inverted triangle pass back.

The ball was passed to Kozak again.

"nice shot."

Kozak did not disappoint the Villa fans this time. He shot directly from the edge of the small penalty area.

With this goal, Villa beat Norwich away.

"Who said just now that Norwich won the game? Pay me Happy Beans." In the chat room of the live broadcast, some netizens were wailing.

"Hey, it's a good thing I didn't listen to him." Some people gloated.

After winning Norwich, Jose and his teammates just felt very happy and did not get carried away, because the next three games will be three hard bones.

First of all, on the 25th of this week, the third round of the English League Cup kicked off. The Villa team had poor luck in signing, and they met Tottenham.

This weekend after playing Tottenham, the sixth round of the Premier League will start, and Villa will face the soaring Manchester City at home.

After Manchester City, there will be a Europa League game against St. Gallen at home.

Although such intensive high-intensity games are all played at home, it is obviously impossible to win them all, so Paul Lambert decided to rotate.

First of all, in the game against Tottenham, Lambert sent a large number of substitute players, as many as seven players appeared in rotation.

The main players such as Jose, Benteke, Weiman and Abanglaho sat on the bench one after another.

It turned out badly.

Aston Villa lost 0-4 at home to Tottenham.

The road to defending the English League Cup will stop here.

For the loss of the English League Cup, Villa executives didn't care at all, just because the bonuses were too small.

But the game against Manchester City on the weekend is more important.

On September 9, at 28 pm, there were occasional clouds and the temperature was 10-18 degrees.

This is a very suitable weather for playing football.

Villa Park Stadium, where the focus of the sixth round of the Premier League begins.

Villa host Manchester City.

Both parties start:

For Villa, Paul Lambert formed a 352 formation, which is a new attempt.

Goalkeeper: Jose.

Guards: Clarke, Nathan Baker, Fral.

Midfielders: Luna, Ahmadi, Sira, Delph, Bacuna.

Forwards: Kozak, Weiman.

Benteke failed to enter the squad due to injury, and can only hope that the newly joined Kozak can play well.

Manchester City.

Mancini was sacked at the end of last season.

Mansour recruited Chilean gold medal coach Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.

In this game, Pellegrini formed a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Kolarov, Nastaski, Kompany, Zabaleta.

Midfielders: Nasri, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Milner.

Forwards: Negredo, Dzeko.

Manchester City's leading striker Aguero also did not enter the 18-man squad. This is great news for Villa.
