As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 68 The Draw Master
All eyes were on the referee.

The referee looked at the assistant referee on the edge of the field.

It was only at this time that people noticed that at some point, the line referee had raised the small flag in his hand.

Weiman is offside.

Arsenal escaped.

It's a pity that the goal was invalid, the balance was not broken, and the scene seemed a bit dull.

No way, the cold and rainy weather on the field is not conducive to the performance of the players. Although both sides try to control the movement of their feet as much as possible, some people still slip and fall to the ground from time to time.

Half-time stoppage time.

Arsenal's last attack before half-time.

Giroud cross from the left.

Villa's defense made a major mistake, and they missed Koscielny who quietly entered the penalty area.

Unmarked Koscielny volleys from 10 yards out of the box.

"Oops." Jose cursed secretly.

Affected by the weather and his vision was limited, he did not notice the existence of Koscielny.

How to do?
Under normal circumstances, Koscielny will inevitably choose to push the lower right corner, and Jose is about 5 meters away from the right post.

Even if Jose uses the stunt immediately, the starting distance in 1 second will not exceed 4 meters, which is one meter short!
unless……

Jose thought of an unproven possibility.

That is, Jose first starts to accelerate, and then uses time and space to pause. At that time, he was already moving at a high speed, and he could theoretically break through the distance of 3 meters per second.

Thinking of this, Jose acted immediately.

...

Practice has proved that Jose's conjecture is valid.

So, he catches up.

"How is it possible? This is the speed of the goalkeeper? It should be the speed of the winger?"

Although the live video kept replaying how Jose caught up, due to the impact of the system and the torrential rain, people could only see the superficial phenomenon clearly.

A high-tech force that can affect the entire time and space, how can a mere human being be able to analyze it?

Therefore, whether it is video or various instruments, what you can see and detect is just the superficial phenomenon that the power of the system wants you to see.

During the half-time break, they changed into a new set of clean and dry jerseys one after another, which made me feel a little better.

At this time, the heavy rain in the sky is slowly decreasing. If you are lucky, the rain may stop in the second half.

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

Not long after the opening, the sky outside had already darkened, and the rain really became lighter.

Only the grass is still slippery.

Before 60 minutes, Arsenal shot three times back and forth, but none of them were in the goal, and Jose threw the air three times.

In the 60th minute, Benteke took a long shot from outside the penalty area. It was very powerful and the ball was even faster. Unfortunately, it was blocked by Mertesacker from the bottom line.

Corner for Villa.

The corner kick was taken, and the first point was grabbed by the Arsenal player, but the ball was pushed out of the baseline by him.

Villa get their second chance for a corner.

This time, Benteke grabbed the first spot. I saw him jumping high, flicking his head, and smashing the ball towards the near post of the goal.

Unexpectedly, Mertesacker showed great power and once again blocked Benteke's header from the bottom line.

In just 1 minute, Villa got three corner kicks in a row, which is not common in Premier League games.

Villa's third corner, and no threat.

To everyone's surprise, after Benteke, for four or 10 minutes, there was no more shot that hit the target.

Although the rain stopped, the performance of the players did not improve.

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

"Beep, beep, beep..." When the referee's whistle sounded, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

A draw, although not ideal for both sides, is still acceptable.

"Affected by the weather, today's game is not exciting, but the players on both sides have tried their best. I wish them better performance in the next game." The on-site commentator finally said.

Summary after the game.

Total shots taken: Villa 9 vs Arsenal 12.

Shots on goal: Aston Villa 4, Arsenal 3.

Possession rate: Arsenal as high as 62.6%, while Villa only 37.4%.

In addition to possession rate and number of shots, Villa performed better in other aspects.

After the game, Jose scored 7.1 points, second only to Vlaar with 7.3 points.

As for the system rewards, the original rewards issued by the system were the same as usual, without double bonuses, but when the settlement was made, Jose was still given double bonuses.

The reason is that the weather is bad and deserves more rewards.

Well, the system is still very user-friendly.

...

When this round of matches ended, people suddenly discovered that in addition to the 0-0 match between Villa and Arsenal, the two matches between Swansea and Liverpool and Chelsea and Manchester City also played 0-0. How much does it affect players.

Three days later, in the middle of the week, the Premier League drove fast, and the No.14 round continued to start.

Villa still sit at home, and their opponent is Reading, who is ranked 19th.

Jose continued to start, and many players came on the field in rotation. In the end, relying on Benteke's goal, Villa beat the opponent 1-0.

In this game, Reading only had 3 shots on target, and Jose completed zero opponents with zero consumption.

Jose has more than 87000 points and 26 silver treasure chests. He plans to wait until the end of the weekend game before drawing a lottery.

Quietly, Jose has completed 11 appearances in the league, 10 of which did not concede a goal. The only regret is that in 11 games, he drew 5 games, which can be called a master of draws.

There was nothing Jose could do about it, he was just a goalkeeper after all.

Although Jose is not satisfied with the team's results, Villa's top management is indeed very satisfied. Villa, who originally aimed to relegation, has now finished 14 rounds and ranked No.23 in the league with 5 points. Five, I can't remember when it happened.

Where there is joy, there is sorrow. After the 14th round of the Premier League, there are so few teams ushered in sad results.

Bearing the brunt was the West London derby between Chelsea and Fulham, which ended 0-0 at Stamford Bridge.

After this game, Chelsea have been winless in 6 rounds and have not scored in 3 consecutive games. Since September 07, they have not scored in two consecutive home games for the first time.

Benitez may not be able to capture the hearts of Chelsea fans.

In addition to Chelsea, Arsenal also drew with Everton.

After the start of the game, the little tiger Walcott scored a lightning goal in 51 seconds, giving Arsenal the hope of victory for a while, and then Fellaini's goal allowed Everton to save a point.

In the focus of this round, Tottenham played against Liverpool at home, and it turned out that Tottenham had the last laugh.

St. Bell first assisted Lennon to score, and then scored with a free kick, ending Liverpool's 8-round unbeaten round.

So far, the Premier League in November has all been played.

In the case of facing Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal successively, the Villa team achieved three wins and two draws, which can be regarded as having passed the first hurdle of the devil's schedule.

On the weekend, when the 15th round of the Premier League kicks off, it will already be December, and by then, it will enter the second stage of the devil's schedule.
