As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 53
"This is the second time I've come here, but this time I'm here to beat you." Jose said secretly when he stepped into the court.

[Zero seal mission: Save all shots in this game, reward points 3000, silver treasure chest*2, no reward for failure. 】

【Cooperative Mission: Work together with your teammates to defeat your opponent.2000 bonus points for victory in regular time, silver treasure chest*2.Tie bonus points 1000.No reward for losing. 】

[Promotion task: Eliminate opponents, advance to the next round of competition, reward points 2000, silver treasure chest*2, no reward for failure. 】

The rewards of the system are always so charming.

……

With the whistle of the referee, the game started.

At the beginning, the Manchester City players played very easily, as if they were in a routine.

Of course, the Villa players were not too nervous.

For Premier League teams, the rewards of the League Cup are really tasteless, so winning or losing is not very important.

Before the start of the game, Jose also made his own decision, that is, as long as the team does not fall behind, he will not use stunts. He must try his best to reserve enough stunts for the weekend league.

Due to the relatively open playing styles of both sides, the game is very enjoyable to watch.

In the 28th minute, Villa player Benteke got a kicker shot in the Manchester City penalty area.

He volleyed hard with his right foot, the ball passed between the two Manchester City players, and finally hit Barry with refraction, and finally got into the net pocket from the right side of the goal.

Villa took the lead and held it until the end of the first half.

During stoppage time in the first half, Tevez and Delph pushed and shoved each other, and each was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City did not attack much, and there were no tricky shots. Jose naturally did not consume the number of stunts.

The two sides switched venues in the second half.

Unlike the first half, Manchester City began to exert force in the second half.

In the 59th minute, Balotelli and his teammates cooperated to find a shot gap in the penalty area, and the ball entered the net from the dead corner of the goal.

In the face of Balotelli's shot, Jose did not choose to use stunts, because the angle is really tricky, even if he uses stunts, there is a probability that he will not be able to catch, and the team leads by one goal.

Relying on Balotelli's shot, Manchester City equalized the score.

After equalizing the score, Manchester City began to make substitutions and adjustments, Desu was replaced, and Sinclair came off the bench.

In the 64th minute, Manchester City made another victory.

Kolarov received a corner kick from his teammate in front of the penalty area and headed the goal. The ball entered the net pocket from the direction of the back post.

Jose did not block the ball, mainly because he collided with teammate Weiman.

Jose couldn't laugh or cry at this.

Two minutes later, Paul Lambert started to make substitutions, Weiman was replaced, and Albrecht came on as a substitute.

Albrecht was very active after he came on the field. In the 70th minute, he kicked a through ball and assisted Abanglaho to equalize the score.

The two sides are on the same starting line again.

Seeing that Villa equalized the score, Mancini made a second personnel adjustment. Dzeko came off the bench and replaced defender Lescott.

Manchester City are ready to give it a go.

Paul Lambert saw the pressure on Villa's defense and replaced Bennett with Lehigh in the 86th minute.

In the end, the two sides drew 90-2 within 2 minutes.

Since it is a knockout match, the two sides must decide the winner.

After a short break, overtime starts immediately.

In the 6th minute of overtime, Manchester City's offense was interrupted, and Villa got a quick counterattack opportunity.

Nzobia received a pass from his teammate, threw away the Manchester City goalkeeper and shot an empty goal.

Villa lead again 3-2.

In addition to shrinking the line of defense, Villa, who took the lead, also began to implement a delay plan.

In the end, Nzobia received his sixth yellow card of the game.

In the second half of overtime, Mancini remembered that he still had a substitution spot. He replaced Zarak with Herlan. This was just a simple matchup substitution.

In the final stage of overtime, the Manchester City players became restless. Toure and Kolarov received the 7th and 8th yellow cards of the game.

In a League Cup match, the referee took out a total of 8 yellow cards, one can imagine the intensity of the game.

Unknowingly, the overtime game entered the last minute. Can Manchester City still stage a lore like last season's finale?

Manchester City players think it is possible.

However, the result backfired.

Dzeko's shot was confiscated by Jose, but Jose did not choose to delay the time, but quickly kicked the goal kick because he saw Abanglaho, who was unmarked in the frontcourt.

The goal kick went straight past the midfield. Abanglaho grabbed the ball first and formed a one-handed momentum. He ran all the way to the penalty area.

Jose's assist allowed Abanglaho to kill the game.

Villa accidentally eliminated the defending Premier League champions and advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup 1/8 knockout round.

In this game, Jose did not complete a zero seal, nor did he win, but Jose felt very satisfied, because none of his stunts worked.

Without stunts, he led the team to eliminate the powerful Manchester City, which shows that Jose's ability is enough to play in the Premier League.

When summing up after the game, the head coach felt a little smug, after all, it was the mighty Manchester City that was eliminated.

As for Manchester City coach Mancini and his players, although they are unwilling, there is nothing they can do. Being out of the League Cup means that it is impossible for them to win the quadruple.

Although Jose did not get the zero seal award and the winning award, he still has a tie award and a promotion award.

[Congratulations to the host for leading the team to eliminate the opponent. In this game, you will get a total of 3000 reward points and a silver treasure chest*2. 】

[It is detected that the host has a silver treasure chest*10 in total, and meets the ten consecutive drawing conditions. Do you want to conduct a lottery? 】

"Ten draws in a row." Jose pointed his finger expectantly.

Subsequently, the number of silver treasure chests was deducted by 9, and then 10 rewards appeared on the screen.

[Talent Essence*4, Technical Points*2, Fantastic Equipment Coupons*3, Dietary Nutrients*100]

[PS: Fanpin equipment coupons, in addition to customizing high-quality equipment, can also repair damaged parts of equipment, and each repair durability is 100. 】

[PS: Dietary nutrients can be scientifically supplemented according to the nutritional needs of players. 】

Jose immediately spent an equipment coupon to order a new pair of high-quality sneakers, and saved the remaining equipment coupons.

Then Jose discovered that the amount of talent essence he possessed could upgrade the goalkeeper talent once.

However, when choosing which talent to improve, Jose was entangled.

Just because the practicality of each talent is very strong.

After some consideration, Jose wavered between god-level predictions and salted fish turning over.

Needless to say, the effectiveness of god-level prediction, Jose relied on it to predict the opponent's shooting route many times in advance, and finally effectively blocked it.

The turning over of Xianyu is the key to the second save. Jose is still unable to catch the ball every time he saves, so the second save is particularly important.

Which one to choose?
