As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 139 Direct Red Card
Albrighton came on as a substitute and was replaced by Abanglaho.

2 minutes later, Westwood passed the ball.

From outside the edge of the penalty area, Delph shoots hard.

It's a pity that it deviated from the direction of the goal.

In the 79th minute, Chelsea's attack.

Outside the edge of the penalty area, Schurrle, who came off the bench, dribbled the ball.

Just when Schurrle was about to cut inside, Vlaar brought him down directly.

The referee showed up again, and he showed Vlaar his sixth yellow card of the game.

Chelsea get a free kick.

The penalty spot is approximately 20 yards from the goal.

The Blues' favorite Hazard is responsible for handling free kick opportunities.

Guzan organized and lined up the human wall immediately.

Hazard chose to hit the goal directly.

Unfortunately, the shot missed.

Gu Zan was startled into a cold sweat.

In the 81st minute, Villa got another corner kick.

Westwood takes the corner.

Direct big foot long pass to the restricted area.

On the edge of the small penalty area, Vlaar grabbed the first spot.

I saw him jumping high and completing a header in the crowd.

Unfortunately, the ball missed the upper right corner slightly.

Cech kicks the goal kick.

It's a pity that Chelsea's offense failed to break through Villa's defense.

Instead, Villa got a quick counterattack opportunity.

Delph successfully steals from the backcourt, and then advances with the ball in the middle.

It wasn't until the top of the gourd that Delph passed the ball to split the side.

The ball went to Albrighton's feet.

Chelsea on the left side of the box.

Unmarked Albrighton ground ball cross.

10 yards in front of the restricted area.

Delph receives a pass from Albrighton.

Direct heel shot into the far corner.

At this time, Cech is in the center of the goal, and it is absolutely impossible for him to make a save in time.

So, the ball goes in.

Delph's shot is absolutely beautiful and can be selected as the best shot of the week.

Villa opened the scoring first.

Chelsea fell behind and played one player less, so the situation is gone.

Mourinho gave up the last substitution. At this time, he probably only wanted to end the game quickly.

However, things are far from as simple as imagined.

Thinking of being beaten 8-0 by Chelsea last year, Villa players are not willing to give up the chance to score at all.

In the 90th minute, Matic took the ball in midfield.

However, due to a mistake, the ball was lost.

The Villa team once again got a quick counterattack opportunity.

Benteke breaks through with the ball.

25 yards outside the box.

Benteke shoots hard.

Too bad the angle is too straight.

It was directly confiscated by Cech.

4 minutes of stoppage time.

Ramirez breaks through with the ball from the wing.

Seeing that he was about to break through to the half-court position, Ahmadi flew to put a shovel.

Cleanly, Ahmadi scooped the ball out of the sideline.

Originally, this was just a normal defensive action, but something speechless happened.

After losing the ball, Ramirez stepped directly on Ahmadi's calf when his heel landed during the run.

"Beep, beep~"

The referee Foy blew the whistle again.

Foy directly awarded a red card to Ramirez.

At this point the game has reached the last few seconds of injury time.

For Ramirez's foul, Mourinho is naturally dissatisfied.

Just when Mourinho expressed his dissatisfaction to the referee, Foy pointed to the outside.

Mourinho was also kicked off the pitch by the referee.

Chelsea's loss and loss this time made them lose their top position.

For the penalty of this game, Mourinho must have a lot to say at the press conference after the game.

However, it has nothing to do with Jose.

In this game, Jose's biggest gain is that sometimes, you can't rely too much on the referee's judgment.

In addition, Jose also discovered a problem, which was about the timing of the attack.

Jose's personal habit is to squat in front of the goal, and very few will choose to take the initiative.

But Cech's various performances today opened Jose's eyes.

It turns out that the goalkeeper does not have to stick to the goal. A reasonable attack can avoid many accidents.

On March 3, the Europa League 21/1 knockout round will continue.

Villa Park Stadium, the weather is generally sunny, with occasional clouds, and the temperature is between 8 and 16 degrees.

At 21:05 local time, the match between Villa and Porto officially began.

Compared with the first round, the starting rosters of both sides are almost the same, but there are slight changes in the positions.

Porto got the first kick-off opportunity.

After Martinez kicked off, he passed directly back to Fernando.

Fernando dribbled the ball forward a few steps and reached near the middle circle.

He glanced at the frontcourt and made a long pass to Villa's penalty area.

Is this trying to catch Villa off guard?
If it was the past, Jose would definitely retreat to the goal.

But after watching Cech's appearance in the game, Jose has his own ideas about how to attack.

In terms of pure speed, Porto's players are no faster than Jose.

Therefore, in the case of the same distance, it is absolutely impossible for the opposing player to grab the ball in front of Jose.

Therefore, when Martinez ran towards the ball, Jose had already attacked first and confiscated the ball directly.

"Villa's goalkeeper is so fast?" A fan asked immediately.

"I only know that Jose's reaction is fast, but it's the first time I've seen his running speed."

"It's Fernando's thinking is too simple."

...

In the discussion of the fans, Jose Bigfoot took the goal kick.

In the midfield competition, Porto won slightly in the end.

Or Porto's offense.

Pereira made a pass from the wing, and the ball went directly to the right side of the penalty area.

On the edge of the penalty area, Eduardo was unmarked and headed directly to the goal.

The ball drew an arc and flew out over the goal.

Porto's corner.

It turned out that when the ball was about to reach the goal, when Jose jumped up, his fingers touched the ball.

Originally, this was a shot directly over the goal.

Just because Jose's jumping ability is so good, he can even touch the high ball.

Fernando handles the corner.

Drive directly to the front of the restricted area.

In the confusion, Jose hit the ball out of the penalty area with one hand.

Or Porto's possession.

20 yards outside the penalty area, Defour kicked and shot.

The ball hit Baker and went wide of the baseline.

Porto gets another corner kick.

Fernando still chose to make a long pass into the penalty area.

Porto player Mangala hit the ball.

However, Mangala's header was directly confiscated by Jose.

Only 4 minutes have passed since the game.

"Steady, don't worry." Jose held the ball with his left hand, and gestured to his teammates with his right hand to move forward.

Jose could see that his teammates hadn't fully entered the state yet, and he needed to control the rhythm.

A goal kick is taken.

Jose passes the ball to Bertrand.

Bertrand drives the ball forward.

The battle for midfield started again, and this time, Villa pulled back a victory.

It's a pity that Abang Lahuo's shot deviated from the goal in the end.

In a blink of an eye, 20 minutes had passed and the score was still 0-0.

In the 21st minute, Benteke took the ball from the top position of the gourd, attracting two Porto defenders to intercept him.

Bentke dunks Mangala and then makes a direct pass.

Abang Lahuo fought out, forming a single-handed momentum.
