As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 126 This is a waste of Jose's talent

Unfortunately, Benteke's last shot missed.

After returning from injury, Benteke has not scored in many games.

Therefore, for players, the impact of injuries is unpredictable.

...

The game continues.

In the 55th minute, Manchester United got another free kick on the right.

The penalty spot is approximately 25 yards from the goal.

Very good shooting distance.

Under normal circumstances, it is not a good thing that the penalty spot of a free kick is too close to the goal, because it is easy to hit high or miss.

Jose immediately organized a wall of people.

Wayne Rooney takes the free kick.

Shoot directly at close angles.

The ball goes over the wall.

"pretty."

Rooney's shot went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Rooney's shot is indeed a great threat.

However, Jose has already seen everything.

I saw him quickly move two steps to the left, and then jumped up again, reaching for the air with both hands.

He actually confiscated Rooney's direct free kick from midair.

"Huh la la." Warm applause and cheers came from the Villa fans stands.

In the hearts of Villa fans, they love Jose more than everyone else.

Just thinking that Jose will leave the team at the end of the season, Villa fans will inevitably feel unhappy.

Although Villa fans have long been used to the team selling their star stars from time to time, they are really reluctant for players like Jose who almost resist the team's progress by themselves.

The game continues.

Villa began to strengthen the counterattack.

Unfortunately, Sila shot in front of the penalty area and ended up wide.

Albrighton's shot in the penalty area was directly saved by De Gea.

Villa also failed to make progress.

After failing to score for a long time, Paul Lambert began to make substitutions.

Weiman came off the bench and was replaced by Syrah.

Shortly after Weiman's debut, Villa got a good chance to score.

In the 63rd minute, Albrighton broke through from the wing.

Near the bottom line corner flag, Albrighton threw away Evra and made a cross.

The ball went over the crowd and landed in the Manchester United penalty area.

Abanglaho grabbed the spot and completed the header.

Unfortunately, it was saved by De Gea.

"Oh." The Villa fans sighed again.

The sighs have not subsided, and there are changes on the field again.

The ball saved by De Gea did not fly out of Manchester United's penalty area.

At 12 yards inside the penalty area, Weiman, who came off the bench, was surrounded by the crowd and completed a supplementary shot.

At this time, De Gea has fallen to the ground, and it is absolutely impossible for him to get up in time to save him.

Weiman's supplementary shot seems to be sure to enter.

However, things are far from as simple as imagined.

Just when the ball was about to cross the goal line, Cleverley came back to defend.

He was on the goal line and picked out Weiman's follow-up shot with his right foot.

Manchester United survived the catastrophe and escaped unharmed.

the game continues
Although there was no goal, there were many disputes between the players on both sides.

Lowton, Clarke, Nathan Baker, and Welbeck all received topaz cards successively, and all of them were punished by the referee because of quarrels between players.

In the 69th minute, Villa fans booed all over the stands.

It turned out that it was the old Villa player Ashley Young who came off the bench.

Januzaj was replaced.

Januzaj was extremely active in the opening period and had many chances to score goals.

It's just that as the game progressed, under Lowton's close marking, he slowly began to become a little quiet.

The situation in the last 20 minutes of the game has not changed much from the first half. Neither Moyes nor Paul Lambert is the kind of coach who plays on the spot.

In the end, the game was tied 0-0.

Both parties are not satisfied with this result, but it is still acceptable.

After 16 rounds, Villa ranked seventh with 28 points, 4 points behind No.4 Manchester City.

After passing the hurdle of Manchester United, the next few opponents are relatively easy.

On December 12, in the 21th round of the Premier League, Villa challenged Stoke City away.

Due to the shortage of defensive personnel, Villa youth training defender Hurd got the first chance to start.

In the battle with Manchester United, Luna, who made many mistakes, sat on the bench.

In the first half, the two sides scored a goalless draw.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Stoke City almost scored first.

Cameron made a long pass from the penalty area.

Crouch hits the ball.

However, he did not choose to attack the goal, but diverted the header to Charlie Adam on the other side.

On the edge of the penalty area, unmarked Charlie Adam pushed from close range.

Fortunately, Jose's god-level prediction responded in advance, and he anticipated Crouch's choice.

In front of the goal, Jose flew to block Charlie Adam's push.

In the 66th minute, the Villa team took the lead in scoring.

The Stoke City player made a mistake in the return pass and was cut off by Kozak.

10 yards inside the penalty area, Kozak pushed and scored.

Aston Villa led away by one goal, and the goddess of victory seemed to be beckoning.

In the 70th minute, Cameron made another cross from the right.

The ball landed in the small penalty area, completely within the goalkeeper's attack range.

Jose prepares to strike.

However, Hurd, who made his debut for the first time, rushed to fight for the top, not only failed to reach the ball, but knocked Jose to the ground.

The ball passed over the heads of the two and landed at the far point.

Crouch went out first.

At a distance of 3 yards in front of the goal, Crouch pushed the empty goal.

Stoke City leveled the score.

In the end, the two sides shook hands 1 to 1 to make a draw.

Paul Lambert was so annoyed by Hurd's hastily competing for the top this time, he directly abandoned it.

Paul Lambert found that he would rather use Luna than Hurd.

At best, Luna is man-marking mistakes, and occasionally defends out of position.

And Hurd directly affected Jose's normal performance.

On December 12, just after Christmas, the 26th round of the Premier League will continue.

According to the schedule, Villa will face newly promoted Crystal Palace at home.

In this game, Villa's possession rate reached 70%.

However, only 4 shots were completed.

No goals were scored.

On the contrary, the Crystal Palace team in the away game gave up possession of the ball and completed 12 shots, of which as many as 7 shots hit the goal.

If it weren't for Jose's brave performance, the Villa team would lose to the newly promoted team at home.

After this campaign, Villa won 5 rounds in all competitions.

Gradually, a voice emerged on the Internet.

Villa is wasting Jose's talent.

It is not easy for a goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or.

If Jose fails to win one or two trophies with Villa this season and returns to Chelsea to win the championship in the future, others will say that he is a thigh.

In this regard, Paul Lambert said that it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

The offensive players are not strong, and he can't help it.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that there is actually a free kick master in the team.

On December 12, with only two days off, the 28th round of the Premier League continued.

Villa will face their last opponent in the Premier League at home.

After this campaign, the Premier League is just halfway through.

If there is no accident, Arsenal will win the half-time championship.

Therefore, the Arsenal fans once again shouted the slogan of winning the league.

They are just habitually collapsed, can they do it?
Of course, whether Arsenal won the championship has nothing to do with Jose.
