As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 275 A Big Victory

华夏时间4月2日19:45(英国当地时间12:45)，2015/16赛季英超第32轮一场焦点战在维拉公园球场展开角逐。

Chelsea away to Aston Villa.

It can be said that Jose has a lot of emotions when he returns to the old place.

This season, after Villa sold Benteke, they failed to make corresponding signings, which led to the team's direct collapse.

After 31 rounds, Villa won only 3 games and ranked bottom with 16 points. Relegation seems inevitable.

In today's Villa team, there are few players that Jose is familiar with.

Villa's high-level business strategy has made Villa fans very dissatisfied.

Before the game, Jose did not meet Grealish and the others, because from a certain point of view, talking to the enemy before the game is a taboo for military strategists.

In this game, Diego Costa and Hazard continued to be absent, and Baba Rahman, Pedro and Loftus-Cheek started in rotation.

Falcao, Pato, Oscar and others entered the bench.

As for Villa, Abang Raho went to Dubai for vacation during the international match day, but he couldn't help himself to try smoking hookah, so he was banned by the team.

Grealish and Bacuna also failed to get the starting lineup, they could only sit on the bench and wait for orders.

Villa fans unfurled banners in the stands ahead of the game, displeased with their team's lackluster performance.

Villa kicked off first.

After the opening, both sides appeared extremely cautious and did not rush to put pressure on their opponents.

In the 9th minute, Villa got a free kick from the left side of the front court.

Hill took the free kick and passed it directly into the penalty area.

In the chaos, Richards rushed to the top in front of the small penalty area.

The ball went out of the baseline from the left side of the goal.

This was the first shot of the game.

Jose could see at a glance that the opponent's header had been tilted, but in order to prevent accidents, he still rushed to the left side of the goal as fast as possible.

Seeing Jose's serious look, the Villa fans felt even more sad.

If Villa's executives have a little ambition, maybe Villa is now at the top of the list.

People who have this idea are really too daring to think about it.

So far this season, Villa has scored only 22 goals, why is it ranked first?Does Jose have to take the risk of taking a free kick every game?

Jose naturally didn't know what the Villa fans thought. He habitually glanced at the front field and found Pedro on the right, so he decisively kicked the goal kick.

Chelsea's counterattack was unfortunately blocked by the opponent's players.

Chelsea get the right corner.

Willian takes the corner.

The first landing point was cleared by Villa players.

Outside the penalty area, Pedro got the ball, faked and dunked an opponent's player and then curved the ball to shoot.

It's a pity that the ball missed the upper right corner slightly.

In the 13th minute, Villa counterattacked from the wing.

Sissoko makes a low cross from the left.

In front of the left side of Chelsea's penalty area, Gasted directly hit the goal with his right foot after receiving a pass from his teammate.

The ball hit the ground, passed through Chelsea's defense in an instant, and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Hitting the goal with a low ball is something that cannot be sloppy for any goalkeeper.

Jose quickly took two steps across, came to the right side of the goal, then sank quickly, bent down and blocked the opponent's shot.

Jose's save made Villa fans feel even more mixed.

In the 19th minute, Fabregas made a precise long pass.

Pedro lobs the goal after a beautiful stop.

However, the goal was disallowed because he was offside first.

In the 23rd minute, Pato replaced the injured Remy.

After signing for 63 days on loan in the winter window, Pato played for Chelsea for the first time.

Chelsea gradually strengthened the offensive rhythm.

Chelsea broke the deadlock in the 26th minute.

Pedro scores.

Azpilicueta crosses from the right.

Loftus-Cheek made the first push from 12 yards.

The ball hit Lescott's leg and deflected into the net.

Chelsea lead by one goal.

Subsequently, Xiaofa clashed with Guye, and both of them were shown yellow cards.

With the score behind, Villa began to strengthen their offense.

In the 29th minute, there were many crises in front of Chelsea.

Villa organize the attack.

Hill shot a low shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area.

Not a big threat and was easily saved by Jose.

Baba Rahman made a big clearance and hit Jordan Ayew, the ball rebounded on the spot.

The bounced ball rolled towards the goal.

Oolong assist?

No, Jose seemed to have expected it, and confiscated the ball again with a side throw.

Jose easily completed two consecutive flutters.

Jose took the goal kick, but only 2 minutes later, Villa scored again.

Outside the left side of the penalty area, Mikel brought down Jordan Ayew.

Villa get a free kick.

Ayew hits the goal with a free kick.

The ball flew around the wall and flew to the bottom left of the goal.

Ayew's shot was beautiful, but unfortunately he faced Jose.

Jose took a step across and easily confiscated the opponent's shot.

The game continued, the two sides came and went, it was very lively.

In the 36th minute, Xiaofa made a direct pass.

Baba Rahman hits the goal from the left side of the penalty area.

The ball flew directly below the goal.

It's a pity that Guzan failed to threaten and was blocked by a side throw by the opponent.

In the 40th minute, Gil passed the ball.

Ayew gets the ball and cuts inside.

At 14 yards in the middle of the restricted area, Ayou shot low to the right.

Jose leaps up, but fails to touch the ball.

Ayew's shot misses.

The ball hit the right post and missed the baseline.

Unknowingly, the game entered the first half injury time period.

In the 46th minute, Chelsea attacked.

In Villa's penalty area, Sissoko fouled Pato, who was grabbing points, and directly brought Pato down on the right side of the penalty area.

Yellow dot set.

Pato won a penalty for Chelsea.

For this penalty, Jose certainly will not fight for it.

Unexpectedly, Xiaofa and William also did not intend to compete for penalty kicks.

In the end it was decided that Pato would take the penalty himself.

Pato shot directly to the upper left corner.

Guzan guessed the direction correctly, but still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the net.

Pato harvested his first goal in Chelsea, helping the team lead 2-0.

In the case of Jose guarding the goal, it can be said that the overall situation has been settled.

In the second half, just 49 seconds into the start, Chelsea made another victory.

Oscar, who had just replaced Kennedy, made a pass from the left side of the penalty area after kicking the wall with Pato.

Pedro pushed into the net at the first time from 8 yards, 3-0.

It can be said that the second half directly entered garbage time.

The only suspense is whether there will be a goal and who will score it.

Leading by 3 goals, Chelsea began to shrink their formation slightly, and Villa found some offensive opportunities.

In the 49th minute, outside the arc, Garstead passed the ball.

Ayew volleys after getting the ball.

The ball flew straight over the goal.

The high-altitude ball poses no threat to Jose at all.

Immediately, Jose jumped up lightly, and directly confiscated the opponent's long-range shot with both hands.

No one thought that this was Villa's last shot in the goal of the game.

So Jose no longer has any chance to save.

In the 59th minute, Chelsea expanded the result again.

Oscar pass.

Pato shoots from the left edge of the penalty area.

It was barely saved by Guzan.

The ball is at the feet of Pedro.

On the right side of the small penalty area, Pedro shot an empty goal from a small angle.

The ball was scored again, 4-0.

In recent seasons, the Villa team has become Chelsea's point boy.

Who is Chelsea's favorite opponent?Villa must be on the list.

Villa fans began to leave the field one after another, but the game was not over.

In the 66th minute, Grealish and Bacuna came off the bench, replacing Hill and Carlos Sanchez.

Two minutes later, Glarish made a cross from the right side of the penalty area.

But Westwood missed the ball with a close-range tackle from far.

Jose patted Westwood on the shoulder while giving Grealish a thumbs up.

In the 74th minute, Mourinho used up the last substitution.

Pedro is replaced by Clark Salter.

The 18-year-old also made his debut.

Clarke Salter plays at left-back, so Baba Rahman moves forward.

With the overall situation set, Mourinho thoughtfully let some young players play to experience the game.

In the 85th minute, Hutton shoveled Loftus-Cheek and was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards.

Chelsea's 3-game winning streak in the away league, while Villa's 7-game losing streak continues to be at the bottom.

Chelsea's victory over Villa did not cause much discussion. After all, with Chelsea's strength, it is not uncommon to win the game.

Fans discussed more that Pato scored his first goal in his debut, just because the former winner of the European Golden Boy Award has been out of the public's sight for a long time.

I don't know if Pato can regain his former glory at Chelsea.

After the game, Jose did not stay in Birmingham, after all, today's Villa, has already changed.

Professional football is so cruel, it is difficult for underdogs to retain their core players. In addition to insufficient investment, the more important thing is that players are always tempted by rich clubs.

No need to guess, after Villa's relegation, a large number of players will inevitably leave the team, and it will become more difficult to return to the Premier League at that time.

I hope Villa can return to the Premier League as soon as possible.

On the third day after the match with Villa, Chelsea ushered in an important game.

According to the schedule, Chelsea will play three consecutive important games with Manchester City in the next ten days.

Counting the FA Cup games, Chelsea and Manchester City will play a total of 5 games this season.

The first is the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on the 6th. Chelsea will host Manchester City in the same league.

Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Cahill, Stones, Ivanovic.

Midfield: Mikel, Matic, Fabregas.
