As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 22 Enjoy the game
"It might work."

The tone of the speaker was full of uncertainty.

No one would think that the Villa youth team would have any chance if they hadn't watched the two teams play.Only people who have watched the games between the two teams know that Jose's performance in front of the goal is really unexpected.

...

In the locker room, McDonald just smiled and joked with his players. He didn't want these young people to bear too much pressure.

At this point, even if the trophy is not won in the end, it is a valuable experience for these young players.

On the contrary, if too much pressure is given to these young people and they lose the game in the end, it is likely to cause unpredictable psychological damage to these young people.

As for Jose, he sat quietly and thought.

The rest time of ten minutes passed quickly. When Jose and his teammates walked out of the locker room, McDonald shouted behind him: "Enjoy the game."

With a word that awakened the dreamer, Jose suddenly realized that he was too persistent.

Stepping into the court, Jose felt extremely relaxed.

But with hard work, don't ask about the result.

The game continued in the second half.

After Chelsea kicked off, they were not eager to attack, but chose to fall in the backcourt.

However, because of a pass error by Chalobah, Robinson stole the ball. Unfortunately, there were no teammates around him to support him, and Ake and Cuevas jointly blocked his advancing route.

Seeing this, Grealish stepped forward to support.

The addition of Glarish formed a scuffle on the spot.

Jose stood in his own penalty area, watching every move of everyone on the field intently, and at the same time calculating the possible attack routes of the opponent in his mind.Only limited by visual factors, Jose was still unable to see clearly.

In the midfield battle, Chelsea won first, and Ake finally grabbed possession.

Seeing that Ake was holding the ball, Zeke quickly retreated to respond.

Chelsea's quick counterattack.

Cheek ran the ball on the left wing, and soon came to the edge of the penalty area.

Facing Villa's No. 2 centre-back, Chiker passed the ball, threw off the defense and crossed it to Piazon in the middle.

Piasson smashed the ball with his left foot, turned two steps to the right, and suddenly volleyed violently with his right foot. The ball, like a rolling bullet, quickly rolled towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

"Strike!" The fans who had been tense all of a sudden shouted.

Piazon's shot, whether it is angle or strength, is perfect, and it is quite at the level of a famous star.

As for Jose, when Piazon took the ball, his god-level prediction had already told him the possible shooting route that Piazon might choose.

With a full throw, Jose's fingers slightly touched the rolling ball, slightly changing the direction of the ball's movement, and finally made the ball brush the goal post and go out of the baseline.

"Wow." The audience was boiling, and fans from both sides gave warm applause to their respective players.

Piazon's shot is beautiful, but Jose's save is a must. You must know that Jose didn't use special skills. He relied on his own prediction and saving ability to save the perfect shot from the bottom line. .

"Roar"

Jose waved his fists and roared to the sky, like a tiger descending the mountain, his momentum was overwhelming, invisible, at this moment he already possessed the spirit of subduing others without fighting.

Seeing Jose's ferocious appearance, several nearby players couldn't help feeling their hearts shake, so that they forgot to enter the penalty area for a corner kick.

Chelsea's corner kick is taken and Jose is easily pocketed.

Villa blocked Chelsea's attack this round.

The goal kick was taken, and the ball was given to Glarish who came back to meet him.

Villa's counterattack, but unfortunately Robinson's shot missed the goal.

In the 67th minute, Chelsea began to make substitutions. Nell Bass replaced Chalobah with 16-year-old Lewis Baker.

Unlike Chalobah, Baker is a more aggressive player with excellent passing awareness and a threat from set-pieces and long-range shots.

Obviously, Chelsea is going to strengthen their offense.

Just 2 minutes later, Baker took the ball at the front of the penalty area, and suddenly shot a long shot, and the ball hit Villa's No. 4 player.

"Ok?"

Baker's long shot caught Jose's attention. This young man who just played is not easy.

After that, as long as Baker was looking for an opportunity, he would choose long-range shots without hesitation, but with little success.

In the 73rd minute, the Villa youth team also began to make substitutions. McDonald removed a striker and added a midfielder.

"What is Villa doing? After falling behind by a goal, they didn't want to score a goal to get back the score, but chose to hide and defend. Is it useful?"

"Who knows?"

"In the current situation, Villa won 1-0 at home. Chelsea is currently leading 1-0. The total score of the two sides is 1-1. There is no away goal relationship. If neither side can score before the end of the game, then There will be extra time and even brutal penalties."

"You're saying Villa's goal is to drag it down to a penalty shootout?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. With Villa's strength, it is not an easy task to break through Chelsea's goal in an away game. Villa's goalkeeper is very strong, but Chelsea's Blackman is also not easy. weak."

"If the situation you mentioned really happens and it is dragged to a penalty shootout, then everything will be hard to say. Penalty kicks, what a cruel scene."

"That's just a possibility. There are still more than ten minutes left. Maybe which side can score. Look, it's coming."

In the 77th minute, Chelsea won a free kick outside the penalty area on the right.

In sports battles, Piazon and others didn't have many chances at all, so they especially cherished this set kick.

As for Jose, when he saw Piazon and Baker standing on the penalty spot to discuss countermeasures, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Different people have different playing styles. Baker's dribbling ability and skills are not as good as Piasson's, but his shooting power is much stronger than Piasson's.

Therefore, if Baker takes the penalty, he will most likely choose to volley vigorously.

Therefore, Jose must be prepared with both hands.

While directing his teammates to line up the wall, he silently watched Piazon and Beck. He wanted to capture clues from each other's movements and expressions to determine who was the most likely one.

Although Piazon is the core of this team, Jose has always felt that the person who will take the free kick this time will be the young Lewis Baker.

As expected, when the referee blew his whistle, Baker started to move.

I saw him run up and shoot in one go, the ball flew past the wall, and even changed its direction slightly because it was bumped by someone.

The speed of the ball was fast, and Jose couldn't see its flight path very clearly because his vision was blocked.By the time he saw it clearly, he had already slowed down by half a step, unless he used the stunt again.

However, the problem now is that Jose only has 5 available stunts left, which he is preparing for a possible penalty shootout.

How to do?
