As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 46 He's So Fast

"In particular, the Villa goalkeeper was transferred to Chelsea last month for 3200 million pounds, and now he is on a reverse lease to Villa. If there is no accident, he will join Hazard in this summer. The standard king of the window." The on-site commentator explained.

When the on-site commentator introduced Jose, Villa once again formed a siege against Tranmere, but the opponent's defense was too dense, and Villa players could not send the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

Except for the occasional few long-range shots from the outside, there are not many opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal.

Of course, Villa's siege was not useless. In the 27th minute of the game, Darren Bent retreated to take the ball and tried to break through outside the opponent's penalty area, which eventually caused the opponent's No. 4 defender to foul and was shown by the referee. First yellow card of the game.

In the end, the two sides played 0-0 in the first half.

During the half-time break, Paul Lambert's expression became serious. In the locker room, he readjusted his tactics: "The opponent's formation is so tight, you can try to hold the ball in the backcourt and draw them out..."

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues and the game continued.

Villa players no longer desperately besieged the opponent, but began to try to control the ball in their own half. As a result, Tranmere's formation gradually became less compact and there was more space for passing the ball.

As soon as there is more space for passing the ball, Villa's opportunity will come.

In the 53rd minute, Villa midfielder Delph received an inverted triangle pass from Darren Bent and volleyed with his right foot from 12 yards. The ball entered the net pocket from the lower left corner of the goal.

Villa took a 1-0 lead.

Trailing by a goal, Tranmere can no longer just defend.

In the 65th minute, Tranmere took the lead in making substitutions. They replaced No. 19 defender Ash Taylor, who had received a yellow card, with No. 4 defender.

However, Tranmere's substitution could not stop Villa. In the 66th minute, Villa's midfielder Hurd made another goal. He received a pass from his teammate and suddenly shot a long shot from the top left corner of the goal kick. Inside the net pocket.

"Villa's transformation has achieved remarkable results. Hey, both sides have to change?"

Taking advantage of the dead ball time, Tranmere replaced the No. 22 midfielder with the No. 7 striker, which is to strengthen the offense.Two goals behind, it will not work if you don't strengthen your offense.

As for Villa, Holman replaced Stevens.

The midfielder changed the defender, Paul Lambert is to strengthen the midfield control?

Everyone thinks so.

However, just 3 minutes later, Paul Lambert made another substitution, he replaced midfielder Weimann with Nzobia.

After Nzobia came on the field, he formed a double center combination with Darren Bent.

However, the combination of the two strikers did not put too much pressure on Tranmere. Instead, the latter relied on the cooperation of the three strikers and frequently dribbled the ball near the Villa penalty area.

In the 69th minute, Cassidy shot from a small angle on the left side of the small penalty area. The ball hit the arm of Villa defender Lowton and bounced back to the center of the goal.

Seeing the ball changing direction due to refraction, Jose didn't hesitate to use the stunt directly.

As a result, people only saw an afterimage passing by, and then this afterimage blocked the ball out of the small penalty area in front of the goal line.

"So fast!"

In the live broadcast room, someone couldn't help shouting after watching the figure still moving fast after the slow-motion replay.

"It's really fast, I'm afraid it's the fastest goalkeeper I've ever seen."

"He's so fast, why doesn't he play as a striker?"

No one answered this question.

Tranmere's players complained to the referee after seeing Jose save Cassidy's shot.

They believed that Lowton's arm touched the ball, which was a handball foul in the penalty area, and the referee should award a penalty kick to Tranmere.

However, the referee ignored the Tranmere player's complaint. He believed that although Lowton's arm touched the ball, he did not open his arms but was close to his body, so it could not be regarded as handball.

Villa escaped a penalty.

In the 75th minute, both sides made another substitution at the same time.

Paul Lambert replaced goal hero Hurd with striker Burke.

After Burke came on the field, Nzobia moved back and stood in the right midfield position.

Tranmere is a midfield substitution.

So far, both sides have used up all substitutions.

Tranmere, who was behind, stopped shrinking the formation, but began to launch a large-scale attack.

In the 80th minute, Villa player Delph was shown the second yellow card of the game by the referee for a foul on a Tranmere player.

At the same time, Tranmere got a free kick on the right side of the front field.

Harrison, who had just played, was responsible for taking the free kick. He volleyed directly, and the ball rolled from the bottom of the wall and went straight to the bottom right of the goal.

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I met you." The corner of Jose's mouth raised, relying on the camera's perspective, he had already captured the movement of the ball.

Without much effort, Jose just extended his foot and easily blocked Harrison's free kick.

"The Villa goalkeeper is so lucky, right? How did Tranmere No. 12's shot just hit his feet?" Someone said sourly.

As the saying goes, you come and go, Tranmere launched an attack on Villa once, how can Villa lag behind?
The ball blocked by Jose fell to Lehai's feet, and he immediately passed it to teammate Nzobia.

The two sides launched a fierce collision in the midfield.

In the 84th minute, the game-killing goal came. Relying on his personal ability, Darren Bent forced a breakthrough into the opponent's penalty area to shoot. In the end, the ball rubbed against the goal post and entered the net pocket.

The score of 3 to 0 was enough for Villa to have the last laugh. They successfully eliminated their opponents and entered the next round.

As for the opponent in the third round, it can only be decided by drawing lots.

Although they beat their opponents by a big score, the Villa players did not show too happy. After all, the opponent is only a team from the second division, and their players are too young and lack sufficient game experience.

In the player rating after the game, Jose scored 6.6 points. The comment is: he made two wonderful saves, and the overall performance is not many opportunities, with extraordinary potential.

Jose didn't pay attention to the post-match scoring. What he cared about was when he could get a chance to play in the Premier League.

In the locker room, Paul Lambert made a simple post-match summary: "Today, everyone performed well, go back and have a good rest, and disband."

As soon as the head coach's voice fell, Villa's players got up and left the locker room.

Since Jose still lives in the dormitory of the training base, he does not have to drive home after the game like other players.

……

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Jose returned to his dormitory with excitement. He was about to receive system rewards again.
