As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 58 Peaceful October
Hearing Jose's question, Saito Asuka immediately blushed, and then said in a weak voice, "You can sleep here with me."

"What? To sleep with you?" Jose said excitedly while looking up and down Saito Asuka.

"It's sleeping with me, not me." Saito Asuka said coquettishly when he heard Jose's words and felt his burning gaze.

"Oh." Jose looked disappointed.

"Hmph, you're an LSP!" Saito Asuka threw a plush doll in his hand at Jose, and walked out of the room with leftovers.

Seeing the back of Saito Asuka leaving, Jose smiled triumphantly.He found that it was still a very happy thing to tease this lovely girl once in a while.

That night, Jose and Asuka Saito embraced each other and fell asleep.

Although it is said that Japan can do that at the age of 13, nothing happened to them that night.

If this world really had the "King Kong Immortal Art", Jose could definitely practice it now.

I can guarantee this!
……

The next day, after breakfast, Jose returned to the Villa training base by car.

On the way back, Jose decided on one thing, which was to learn to drive and test his driver's license.

In the UK, you can get a driver's license at the age of 16, and you can drive independently at the age of 17. Jose fully meets this condition.

The UK driving test is tough but easy to pass, and Jose got his own driver's license shortly after.

Of course, he didn't buy a car. He lives in the training base and doesn't need to drive home yet.

During the international match day, the Huaxia men's football team lost again, and the fans' emotions exploded at that moment. They asked why they didn't recruit such an excellent player as Jose into the team.

The official answer is that Jose is still too young, and the national team did not recruit him because they were worried that it would backfire.

The fans didn't believe a word about it.

Jose could not be recruited by the Chinese national team, but instead aroused the interest of other countries.

Immigrant football skills are no longer a rare thing in foreign countries. A young goalkeeper with great potential will not be missed by smart people.

Of course, they are still in the observation stage and have not really contacted Jose yet.

……

On Saturday, October 10, the eighth round of the Premier League kicked off.

The focus of this round is undoubtedly the London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea at home. In addition to the historical grievances between the two teams, it is also because Tottenham coach Villas-Boas was fired by Chelsea last season.

So, this is definitely a show that attracts attention.

At 12:45 p.m. local time, the battle at White Hart Lane resumed, and players from Tottenham and Chelsea appeared on the field one after another.

Bell was absent because he accompanied his girlfriend to give birth, and Tottenham's strength was greatly affected.

After the game started, Chelsea player Cahill took the lead, but only 60 seconds into the second half, Tottenham player Gallas scored to equalize the score, and then Defoe scored another goal to overtake the score. Tottenham once saw the hope of winning .

Only in the 66th and 69th minutes, Uncle Mata scored twice, leading Tottenham again.

In stoppage time, Great Britain footman Sturridge scored from close range to seal the victory.

Boas failed to prove his ability in front of his old club.

Villa's clash with Fulham in west London started shortly after Chelsea's clash with Tottenham.

Villa's starting list has not changed much, the only change is that Clarke is absent due to injury.

The battle between the two sides is more than fierce but not exciting enough, and there are not many opportunities that can be regarded as absolute opportunities.

Fulham came closest to scoring a goal in the 84th minute. Fullback Riise made a cross from the side, and the ball fell behind and followed Baird's feet.

Baird volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area, which was perfectly resolved by Jose using a stunt.

In the end, the two sides scored 0-0.

Villa's two consecutive away games are draws.

Although he also played for the London team this time, Jose did not go to Asuka Saito, but followed the team bus back to the Villa training base overnight.

...

A week later, on October 10, the Premier League continued to play. The first game was Villa vs. Norwich.

At [-]:[-] p.m. local time, the game officially began.

In the 26th minute, Villa midfielder Holman made a pass from the left, teammate Benteke volleyed from the lower right corner from 12 yards, and Villa took the lead.

In the 29th minute, Villa defender Bennett got the first yellow card of the game, a fatal yellow card.

Relying on Benteke's goal, Villa entered the second half with a 1-0 score.

Easy to fight again.

Norwich took the lead in substitutions, and Ryan Bennett came off the bench. His appearance directly affected Villa defender Bennett.

In the 52nd minute, Villa defender Bennett received another yellow card when defending.

Two yellows turned into one red, and Villa beat one player less.

Norwich, who had a superior number, began to attack frequently and got many chances to kick the ball, but Jose resolved them one by one.

Just because Clark wasn't there, Jose didn't cooperate closely with his teammates, and there was an accident in the end.

In the 84th minute, Norwich got a right corner kick.

Norwich midfielder Hula Khan was on the right edge of the penalty area. A tactical corner kick was passed and the ball landed on the edge of the small penalty area.

Norwich defender Michael Turner grabbed the first spot, and he went straight to the top to attack the goal.

Jose was blocked by Lowton while moving to the right of the goal, and finally he could only watch the ball rub against the goal post and enter the goal.

This is Michael Turner's first goal in Norwich, and it is his first goal in 37 months.

In the end, the score of 1 to 1 was maintained until the end.

Another tie for Villa.

So far, all of Villa's Premier League games in October have ended in a draw.

In November and December, Villa will usher in a devil's schedule. They will play against Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham again.

Of course, before entering November, Villa still has a League Cup knockout game to compare.

According to the results of the draw, on October 10, Villa will play away against the League One team Swindon.

Considering that in the tenth round of the Premier League on November 11, Villa will challenge Sunderland away, so in the Carabao Cup match with Swindon in the middle of the week, Jose sat on the bench.

Considering that Swindon is not strong, Paul Lambert has reincarnation in other positions besides goalkeeper.

At 45:1 p.m. local time, the English League Cup 8/[-] knockout round officially started.

In the first half, relying on the successive goals of Benteke and Abanglaho, Villa entered the second half with a two-goal lead.

In addition to the goals scored by Benteke and Abanglaho, there is another worrying thing. In the 29th minute, Hurd was injured and it is not known whether his injury is serious.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 50th minute, the head coach of Swindon began to make substitutions, and three players, including Storrie, came off the bench.

In the 78th minute, the situation on the court changed suddenly. Storey, who came off the bench, scored twice to equalize the score for Swindon.

The two sides returned to the same starting line.

Jose sat on the bench, watching Storey scored twice to tie the score, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Could it be that Villa will be reversed and eliminated?"

　Next, we will speed up the progress and complete the protagonist's first Premier League season before hitting the shelves.

　　What kind of harvest will there be?We will wait and see.
