As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 150 Unanimous

Incredibly, Jose arrived first and jumped high.

Jose took the ball in flight straight from mid-air.

However, just when Jose had just grabbed the ball, Lima also killed it.

He failed to stop his figure, and directly slammed into Jose without slowing down.

Being hit by Lima, Jose fell to the ground on the spot, and the ball came out of his hand.

When Rodrigo saw the ball that was out of his hands, he rushed over quickly and shot the empty goal directly.

The ball is in.

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew.

Lima ran into the goalkeeper and fouled first.

So Rodrigo's goals naturally don't count.

"If you can score goals, I will write my name upside down."

Being hit by opposing players continuously, Jose's anger also came up.

Before, he only heard that Benfica was very dark when selling players.

What he didn't expect was that the opponent played football so shamelessly.

Most of the collisions between players in the Premier League will be on the surface. Fouls are fouls, and they are rarely done secretly.

However, the foul actions of Benfica's players are extremely secretive.

For the first time, with Rodrigo's scheming push, there were so many people present, but few of them could notice his little move.

As for Lima's collision, it seems that he can't stop his figure on the surface, but anyone who has played the ball knows that he can change the direction.

In the end, the referee gave Lima a verbal warning.

Rodrigo and the others don't understand what it means to write names backwards, but they do understand the meaning of Jose's words, but they don't care.

Benfica is the Portuguese champion this season, and Villa is nothing.

Jose's words quickly spread to the Villa fans' stands.

As a result, the singing of "Don't you try to score goals" sounded throughout the stadium.

The game continues.

In the 67th minute, Delph made a successful steal in the frontcourt.

Villa got the chance to counterattack on the spot.

Just when Delph was about to pass the ball, a figure approached quickly, and before Delph could react, he was directly knocked down to the ground.

It was Enzo Perez.

"Beep, beep~" The referee's whistle sounded.

I saw him taking something out of his pocket as he walked towards the accident point.

Is this the rhythm of giving cards?

If the referee really gave the card, then Enzo Perez, who had already had a yellow card before, would turn two yellow cards into one red and send off directly.

Sure enough, the referee really showed Enzo Perez a second yellow card.

Enzo Perez is sent off.

The head coach of Benfica saw that something was wrong and immediately began to make substitutions.

Defender Andre Almeida came off the bench and Rodrygo, who already had a yellow card, was substituted.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Stadium of Light." Rodrigo did not forget to say to Jose when he was about to leave the field.

"Okay, I hope you can play by then." Jose replied calmly with a calm expression.

The brief interlude passed and the game continued.

Originally, Villa didn't have many chances, but now that Benfica has added a defender, the chances are even less.

Paul Lambert also started to make substitutions.

Benteke came on as a substitute and Carrack was substituted.

The Villa team switched to double central defenders and added a striker.

After Benteke came on the field, Villa did have a lot more chances, but they just finished the goal, but they still failed to score.

In the end, Villa drew 0-0 with their opponents at home.

The grievances between the two sides in this game will be resolved after a week.

The failure to win at home has made the outside world believe that Villa's Europa League trip will end in the semi-finals.

As for the collisions between players on the court, they were also dug up by the Sun and other media.

For a while, the Premier League fans were furious.

"Little black shop, isn't it too arrogant?"

"Support Villa to beat them down."

"At this time, the Premier League fans should unite as one."

Under the rendering of the media, the attention of the second round match between Villa and Benfica even surpassed the semi-final battle between Bayern and Real Madrid.

Although people are looking forward to the arrival of the second leg, but before this game, Villa still need to challenge Swansea away in the league.

On April 4, at the Liberty Stadium, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

Everything in the Premier League is good, but the rainy weather from time to time makes people feel very uncomfortable.

However, Jose has slowly adapted to playing in the rain.

Villa kicks off first.

Swansea, which has always been dominated by pass and control, actually played a defensive counterattack in this game.

You come to me on both sides.

In the 10th minute, Swansea got the first chance to score.

Shelvey made a direct pass into the penalty area.

Boni succeeded in anti-offside, forming a single-handed trend.

Inside the gourd top of the penalty area, facing the attacking Jose, Boni chose to shoot low from the far corner.

If Bonny chooses to hang the goal, he can kick the ball higher at a distance of nearly 22 yards. In that case, Jose really has nothing to do.

Unfortunately, Boni chose to push the far corner.

Jose took Boni's shot straight from the halfway point after using a time-out.

Villa escaped unharmed.

In the 22nd minute, Villa, who survived the catastrophe, scored the first goal.

Ahmadi splits the pass.

The ball went to Albrighton's feet.

On the right side of the penalty area, Albrighton threw off the opponent's Ben Davis and made a pass.

On the edge of the small penalty area, Abanglahuo shot with his left foot.

The ball is in.

In this way, Villa took the lead away from home.

Swansea, which was behind, began to strengthen its counterattack.

In the 26th minute, Jose almost hit Shelvey's goal.

At this time, Villa's offense, all players pressed to the midfield position.

Jose also stepped out of the edge of the penalty area.

Suddenly, Bacuna made a bad pass.

The ball falls to Swansea's Pablo Hernandez.

Hernandez made the first pass.

In the middle circle, the ball came to Shelvey.

Just when the Villa players were about to return to the defense, Shelvey volleyed directly.

A 60-yard long-range shot.

All the fans in the audience exclaimed in unison.

With just one glance, Jose calculated that if there were no accidents, Shelvey's ultra-long-range shot would succeed.

Jose quickly retreated towards the goal.

Although the distance from the edge of the penalty area to the goal is only 18 yards, the flying speed of the football is by no means comparable to that of humans.

unless
When Jose ran back to the edge of the small penalty area, the ball had already flown over the penalty area.

The height of the ball at this time, Jose is still unable to win.

There is no way, Jose has to use time and space to pause.

One second is just enough for Jose to run back to the goal line from the edge of the penalty area, thanks to the fact that he has already started.

Dangerous and dangerous, after consuming a plug-in, Jose finally took Shelvey's ultra-long-range lob shot.

Under normal circumstances, such ultra-long-distance shots rarely appear in games, mainly because the probability of hitting the target is too low.

This time, Shelvey is probably planning to get a kick out of him.

But it was this random kick that scared Jose into a cold sweat.

Of course, even if Shelvey's shot scored, the responsibility was not with Jose, but with Bacuna who made a bad pass.

When the team's formation is pressing, the goalkeeper's proper attack can prevent a single-handed ball from making a timely response.

In the second half, in the 73rd minute, Swansea got another good chance to score.

Shelvey crosses from the right and the ball reaches Pablo Hernandez at the far point.

After Hernandez got the ball, he circled to the center 15 yards.

He knocked Baker down first, then shot with his right foot.

low ball.

The ball is fast.

In an instant, he was at the goal line.

Fortunately, Jose was prepared.

I saw him take half a step across, and then stretch out a foot quickly, just blocking the flight path of the ball.

After blocking the ball, Jose took advantage of the situation and jumped forward, directly pounced on the ball that bounced off his calf.

Swansea again failed.

Injury time period.

The last 1 minutes.

Boni dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Under pressure, Baker brought Bonny down.

Yellow dot set.

In addition to Beck's yellow card, Villa were also awarded a penalty kick.

Westwood expressed dissatisfaction with this and was also given a yellow card by the referee.

"What are you guys doing? Take a penalty kick, don't you still have me?" Although Jose disagreed with Baker's reckless behavior in his heart, he couldn't say it directly.

Only when teammates live in harmony can they exert more strength.

Bonnie took the penalty himself.

Jose doesn't plan to use cheats anymore.

There are still 5 days left in the second leg against Benfica, and Jose currently has 10 stunts left.

To qualify for the final, Jose must be fully prepared.

Boni's penalty didn't have too many tricks, and he volleyed directly to the lower left corner.

The speed of the ball was so fast that Jose had very short reaction time.

Fortunately, the god-level prediction responded, and Jose judged the right direction.

In the end, Jose saved Boni's penalty.

"Jose is too good at saving penalties. I can't remember when it was the last time I missed a penalty kick." After the game, some fans left a message like this.

"Not counting the opponent's supplementary shots, the last time I missed a penalty kick was the penalty shootout in the League Cup final last year. If the opponent's supplementary shots are counted, it was in the game against Liverpool on January 1 that Gerrard made a successful supplementary shot. "

"so amazing."

Although they won Swansea, it is of little significance to Villa.

After 36 rounds, Villa ranked seventh with 63 points, 10 points away from fourth place Arsenal.

And Villa has 3 games left, including a make-up match with Manchester City.

Even with a complete victory, Villa still cannot enter the top four.

Of course, Jose will not be at Villa next season.

At that time, Villa's goal will return to the original task of relegation.

Knowing that Jose was about to leave the team, Villa fans expressed their confusion, but they did not ask to stay.

Everyone knows that Jose's continued stay at Villa is a waste of his talent.

Sometimes, the number of honors a player has has a lot to do with which team he is in.

On May 5, in the much-anticipated anticipation, the second round match between Villa and Benfica arrived.

Stadium of Light.

Portugal time 21:05.

The game between Villa and Benfica officially started.

In terms of the starting rosters of both sides, there is not much change.

Villa still has a 343 formation. The only change is that Benteke made his debut and Albrighton came on the bench.

As for Benfica, Enzo Perez was suspended and failed to enter the squad. Andre Gomez replaced him. In addition, Markovic also failed to enter the squad. Suleiman replaced him Ni.

　I did a search today and found that in the entire China Literature Group, there are only a few online articles about goalkeepers.

　　Why is this so?In the final analysis, it is still difficult to achieve results.

　　What's cool about a goalkeeper?I think it was probably the moment when the opponent's shot was saved. This moment is too short, and it is easy to feel that it is not enough.

　　I will try my best to finish this book, at least until the protagonist fights the team to win the World Cup.
