As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 148 Advancing to the Top 4 (3000 words)
"Sevilla didn't learn from it, but learned Bazaar's disgusting way of besieging referees at every turn."

"No matter how much they surround the referee, it can't change that this is a foul action with a card."

...

"What are you guys doing here? Spread out." The referee obviously hated the way the players surrounded him, and immediately said sternly.

The Sevilla players wanted to explain something, but the referee simply ignored it.

After dispersing some Sevilla players, the referee first showed Cork a yellow card and then a red card again.

Cork eventually escaped the fate of being sent off.

After punishing Cork, the referee took out the marking spray from his pocket again and drew a dot outside the edge of the penalty area.

No penalties.

The referee believes that Cork's foul is outside the penalty area.

As for Weiman falling in the penalty area, it was because of inertia moving forward.

There was no dispute, and Villa won a free kick from outside the penalty area on the left.

Westwood handles it.

Drive directly into the restricted area.

Baker hit the ball.

Unfortunately, the top is too high.

Villa missed the first opportunity to score.

...

Sevilla's attack.

Rakitic splits the backcourt.

In front of the La Liga fans, Sevilla played the common Premier League wing breakthrough and bottom pass tactics.

This face is a bit shameless.

In the 79th minute, another attack from Sevilla came.

At the top of the gourd, Rakitic suddenly volleyed violently.

The ball turned into a white light and flew towards the left side of the goal.

Jose leapt forward and blocked it in front of the goal line.

The ball did not roll far and landed on the right side of the penalty area.

"Salted fish turn over." Knowing that the alarm had not been lifted, Jose immediately got up from the spot.

Sure enough, it was Vitolo who grabbed the second spot.

Vitolo didn't make any adjustments, and directly shot in the direction of the near post.

The speed of the ball is not too fast, and there is no block in front of the goal.

It will be a must-goal.

However, just as Vitolo was about to celebrate, Jose arrived.

He jumped again and blocked the ball with one hand on the goal line.

The situation was too critical, and Jose couldn't control the direction of movement of the blocked ball.

The only thing that can be done is that Jose did not fall to the ground this time.

The ball was eventually blocked to the middle of the penalty area.

At this time, in the middle of the penalty area, there were 4 Villa players standing there.

However, a speechless thing happened.

None of the four Villa players got the ball.

Instead, Sevilla substitute Gameiro poked the ball with his left foot.

The ball immediately rolled towards the bottom left of the goal.

"Are you walking me like a dog?"

After being shot by the opponent consecutively, Jose's unexplained anger rose instantly.

"Time and space pause."

Jose pulled off his fourth stunt of the game.

Jose knew in his heart that only when he completely controlled the ball could he really break down the opponent's attack.

live chat room.

"Hey, this Villa's goalkeeper is really too strong."

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Jose, Villa would be at least four goals behind now."

"No way, Villa's goalkeeper is on the hook, and it's hard to deal with Melo when he comes."

"Whether the mule can break is hard to say, but I, Xixi, will definitely be able to get in."

"Is the dwarf going to ask Godfather Pu to sentence him?"

"Your mule can dive."

...

Surprisingly, in the live chat room, Melo's fans suddenly started arguing.

The game passed minute by minute, and the score on the court was still 0-0.

Sevilla players began to appear restless.

They never imagined that Jose alone could make all their attacks come to nothing.

90 minutes have passed, 4 minutes of stoppage time.

In the 92nd minute, Villa got a chance to counterattack.

Rakitic's long shot was directly confiscated by Jose.

He glanced at the front field.

Sevilla's players have all overwhelmed Villa halftime.

Jose decisively chose to take the goal kick quickly.

"Violent heavy artillery."

Only heard a "bang" sound.

Jose's boots collided violently with the football.

The football immediately turned into an afterimage and crossed the midfield in an instant.

At the same time, Abanglaho quickly ran towards the Sevilla half-time.

After catching up, Abanglahuo got a single chance.

"Will there be a lore?" The live commentator shouted excitedly.

"Come on." The Villa fans looked at the fast-running Abanglaho and shouted loudly.

The opponent's penalty area edge.

Sevilla goalkeeper Beto has already struck.

Facing Beto, Abanglahuo shot directly.

Then, it hit the goal post.

"Hey~" There was a sigh from the Villa fans' stands.

The rebounded ball was kicked out of the baseline by Fazio, who was back on defense.

Corner for Villa.

Bacuna took the corner directly into the penalty area.

Unfortunately, without any threat, it was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

This time, it was Beto's turn to quickly take a corner kick.

Drive directly to the middle circle position.

At this time, Baker was still on the edge of the opponent's penalty area.

Flair and Clark are both slower players who simply can't compete with the physical Gameiro.

It's the turn of Sevilla's single chance.

At this time, the game time is only a few dozen seconds left.

"Do you want to be so exciting?"

"I don't understand why Villa's players have to push up. In this game, as long as they keep 0-0, they can advance smoothly."

"Aston Villa's players are gone."

...

In just a few seconds, Gameiro has brought the ball to the Villa penalty area.

Surprisingly, Jose did not attack, but squatted at the goal kick.

Jose had his own reasons for not choosing to attack.

He can be sure that as long as Jose chooses to attack and there is enough space behind him, Gameiro will definitely choose to lob and attack the goal.

And in the process of retreating behind his back, it is absolutely impossible for Jose to retreat to the front of the door in time.

Jose will not naively think that the opponent's shot will miss or fly.

"Villa's goalkeeper is so smart, he sticks to the goal kick, but it makes it difficult for Gameiro to handle it." The on-site commentary said.

Jose didn't strike, and Gameiro could only continue to dribble forward.

In the restricted area, 18 yards, 12 yards, and 8 yards.

Gameiro gets closer and closer to Jose.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Gameiro felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if his heart was about to jump out.

Unbeknownst to Gameiro, he has been influenced by Jose.

Five yards from the penalty area, Gameiro saw Jose was about to pounce on him.

In desperation, he decisively chose to shoot.

Very light, Gameiro lobs the upper right corner of the goal.

The ball drew a parabola in the air, and then fell towards the upper right of the goal.

Gameiro's shot, even a top goalkeeper, is difficult to deal with.

Unfortunately, Gameiro met Jose.

"Time and space are suspended, fish jumping over the dragon's gate (advanced)."

Jose strides half a step, then leaps high.

Before the game, Jose raised the diving dragon gate to the advanced level.

Today, his jumping ability has exceeded one meter.Compared with Ronaldo's 103 cm, there is only a little gap.

In another two years, as his body matures, Jose's jumping ability is estimated to reach a terrifying 110 centimeters or more.

It's a pity that Yuyuelongmen (advanced) can no longer be improved.

"how is this possible?"

"Is this playing basketball?"

"The jumping ability of male basketball players is no more than this?"

...

When the audience saw Jose leaping high to take Gameiro's parabolic shot from mid-air, people were shocked beyond words.

When Jose took the ball, there were less than 20 seconds left in the game.

This time, Jose chose to stall for time.

Since 0 to 0 can guarantee that he will advance, why take risks?
After a full 30 seconds, Jose slowly took the goal kick.

"Beep, beep, beep~" the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Villa team was upset again and advanced to the semi-finals together with Juventus, Valencia and Benfica.

In the semi-finals, Villa's opponent will be the European black shop-Benfica.

Villa's winning odds have quietly changed dramatically.

Affected by the "Goodman Curse", Benfica is the one that may be eliminated at any time.

Coincidentally, Villa and Valencia belong to the same Group A, and unexpectedly both entered the semi-finals.

The semi-final first leg with Benfica is scheduled for April 4.

Before that, Villa still have two Premier League games to play.

……

On Saturday, April 4, round 12 of the Premier League continues.

Aston Villa travel to London and will play an away game against No.14 Crystal Palace at Schehurst Park.

Crystal Palace kicked off first, and they also completed the first wave of offense.

However, Yedinak's long shot did not threaten Jose.

In this game, Crystal Palace played very simply.

It is to give up possession and then be ready to counterattack quickly at any time.

In the end, at the end of the game, Villa's ball possession rate reached 57%, the number of shots was only 7 times, and only 1 shot hit the target.

In contrast to Crystal Palace.

The ball possession rate was only 43%, but 14 shots were completed, and 7 shots were on target.

among them.

In the 76th minute, Crystal Palace counterattacked.

Polasier makes a cross from the left.

10 yards in front of the goal, Pang Qiong took the ball with his back under the defense of Baker and Delph.

As a result, neither of them could stop Pang Qiong from shooting.

If Jose hadn't reacted in time, Villa would have lost the game.

In the end, the two sides shook hands 0 to 0.

This is also Villa's 11th 0-0 game in the league this season, which can be called the most in the five major leagues.

...

After the game against Crystal Palace, the main players of Villa's first team all got two days of rest.

In two days, Jose first went to Notts County, where Jose watched a Grealish game.

Unexpectedly, after Grealish came to Notts County, he quickly secured his position as the main force.

He is now Notts County's top assists leader this season.

Seeing Grealish's development, Jose was very happy.

Yaozi was one of the few friends he had in a foreign country.

...

After returning from Notts County, Jose directly resumed normal study and training.

Although this World Cup has nothing to do with him, he will face huge challenges when he returns to Chelsea next season.

Both Cech and Courtois are the top goalkeepers in the world.

Jose competes with them, the chances of winning are really slim.
