As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 94

Although Stoke City will definitely go all out, they are the least of Villa's worries.

Statistics show that after 31 rounds, Stoke City scored only 27 goals, ranking the bottom in terms of goals scored. Their attack power is pitifully weak, and Villa, with Jose, is the strongest in defense.

It can be said that the match between Villa and Stoke City has been invincible from the very beginning.

On April 4th, at 6 pm local time, the 32nd round of the Premier League officially started.

The focus of this round of competition is undoubtedly the top derby battle between the Manchester City duo, but because their match is scheduled for the night of the 8th, people can only focus more on the teams competing for the four teams.

Stoke City's match against Aston Villa, which was originally out of focus, also attracted the attention of some fans.

The starting rosters of the two sides have not changed much. There is only one important change in Villa, that is, reserve team player Bowery gets the chance to start.

After the opening, Villa played against the guest and played very proactively. The ball possession rate was once more than twice that of the home team.

In the 9th minute, Villa got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Abanglaho took a free kick and scored directly.

Villa took an early lead.

In the second half, Villa continued to attack, but they were unable to expand the score.

Instead, it almost allowed Stoke City to equalize in the 80th minute.

Until the 87th minute, Villa once again got a free kick in the frontcourt.

This time it was Lowton who took the penalty.

Taking advantage of this free kick opportunity, Lowton directly volleyed and scored.

Villa lead the opponent by 2 goals.

In stoppage time, Villa made another victory. Substitute Silas assisted Benteke to score successfully.

Villa beat their opponents 3-0 in the away game. Villa's points reached 58 points, the same points as Chelsea, which played a game less, and ranked fourth only because of the disadvantage of goal difference.

And Jose's zero seal games added another one, reaching 3 games, already ahead of Joe Hart by [-] games, and the Golden Glove award is already in sight.

The next day, the remaining sessions continued.

Chelsea defeated Sunderland 2-1 at home, once again opened up the point gap with Villa and firmly grasped the third position.

Tottenham fell to No.5 due to a draw with Everton, only one point ahead of No.6 Arsenal.

For Tottenham, the Villa team does not feel worried. On the contrary, it is the sixth-ranked Arsenal, which makes the Villa team have a heavy sense of oppression.

"Fighting the Four Crazy Devils" is no joke.

……

A week later, on April 4, the 13rd round of the Premier League continued.

Villa will face Fulham at home from afar.

富勒姆目前10胜9平13负积39分排在第11位，保级无忧、欧战无望、无欲无求，说的就是他们。

The historical record of the two sides, the last time Fulham defeated Villa in an away game was in the FA Cup in 1999. If only the league is counted, the last time Fulham defeated Villa in an away game was already in the League Two in 1973.

Based on the above information, Villa's game can be described as sure.

After the start of the game, although Fulham actively controlled the ball, there were very few real shots.

Villa, who urgently needed to score points, launched frequent attacks, but unfortunately the efficiency was too poor, and most of the shots failed to hit the goal.

The score was 0-0 in the first half.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Weiman took the ball from the right side of the opponent's penalty area and made a pass, which was blocked by Fulham player Hangeland.

But luckily the ball landed at the feet of Nzobia.

From 10 yards on the right side of the penalty area, Nzobia shot from a small angle and scored.

After fighting for nearly an hour, Villa finally broke through.

After losing to Manchester City, Villa's 5-game winning streak is in sight.

However, in the 66th minute, Delph scored an own goal when defending a corner kick. Jose used his stunts and still couldn't stop the ball from flying into his goal.

In the end, Villa could only get a draw.

Jose's clean sheets failed to go any further.

After the 33rd round, in the match between Arsenal and Norwich, the "Four Mad Devils", Arteta, Giroud and Porthos scored successively after falling behind by one goal. In the end, Arsenal reversed 3-1 Opponents, the "Four Mad Demons" lived up to their reputation.

Because the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Manchester City is scheduled on the 14th, the 33rd round of the league between Chelsea and Tottenham has been postponed to May 5.

Matches between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion and Wigan Athletic and Swansea have also been postponed.

In this case, the points ranking of each team:

Manchester United is still at the top of the list. Their scoring efficiency is frighteningly high. Although they are not as good as Manchester City in terms of defense, they are also at the same level as Chelsea. The 40 goal difference is enough to prove everything.

Manchester City ranked second with a difference of 13 points. Although Manchester City has a luxurious attack line this season, their number of goals is the worst in the Big6.

Chelsea ranks third with 61 points, 20 points behind Manchester United, and has completely lost the league championship. In addition, they lost to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals, so the only trophy that Chelsea can compete for this season is only The Europa League is left.

After the end of the season, the possibility of Benitez staying at Chelsea is almost zero.

After the Arsenal Arsenal won, they rose to fourth place with 60 points. At the end of the season, Arsenal had the domineering aura of blocking and killing gods and Buddhas.

As for Villa, they currently rank fifth with 59 points.In order to enter the top four, in addition to fighting for victory, you also need to expect the "Fighting Four Maniac" to lose points.

The possibility of this seems very small.

……

A week later, in the 12/13 season, the 34th round of the Premier League continued.

Before the start of the Villa game, the London derby between Arsenal and Fulham took the lead.

Fulham's Sidwell and Arsenal's Giroud were sent off successively, and Koscheny scored the only goal of the game.

The winning Arsenal once rose to No.3, which once again proved that the "Fighting Four Maniac" cannot be messed with.

Another four-point battle was between Chelsea and Liverpool. The two sides drew 2-2. After this battle, Chelsea returned to third place with a goal difference advantage.

In addition to the Arsenal and Chelsea games, what attracts more attention is Tottenham's home game against Manchester City. This is a game that neither side can afford to lose, and it is also a game that even a draw is unacceptable.

If Tottenham want to qualify for the European War next season, they must win this game, otherwise they will completely stay away from the Champions League places.

For Manchester City to successfully defend their title, although it is unlikely, they must win this game.

The game between Tottenham and Manchester City can be described as sparks hitting the earth. Only 5 minutes after the opening, Nasri scored the first goal. In the final stage of the second half, Dempsey, Jermain Defoe and Bale scored consecutive goals.

Tottenham successfully reversed their opponents and continued to maintain their hope of winning the fourth place.

Manchester City, which lost, still has a gap of 13 points with Manchester United. With 5 games left in the game, they are only theoretically away from the Premier League championship. Mancini's dismissal is a foregone conclusion.

In fact, as long as Manchester United wins this round of home games, they will win the Premier League championship this season 4 rounds ahead of schedule.

And Manchester United's opponent in this round is Villa.

It's going to be another tough fight.

　This is the second update released normally today, and the explosive update will follow.
