Chapter 13: Goal

The ball is in!

I only heard a "clang" from the goal frame, and the ball grazed the crossbar and crashed into the goal.

The Arsenal goalkeeper couldn't catch up after all, and Jose's long-distance pass eventually turned into a lob, and he scored.

Applause, deafening applause.

It was Jose's first goal in an official match.

He was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the ball to go in.

"Hoes, Heos......" Aston Villa fans shouted Jose's name.

Live chat room.

"Scored? Just walked away a little bit, didn't see it. ”

"Well, Villa scored."

"Villa scored first? Who got in? ”

"Goalkeeper Jose."

"Goalkeeper Jose? You're kidding me, aren't you? ”

"I don't have time to tease you, the Villa goalkeeper kicked off the ball and hung it directly to the goal, and the ball came to the half-time, and the Arsenal goalkeeper reacted."

"it, my Joy Coins."

"What are you nervous about, it's only been ten minutes in the first minute, and our factory can overtake it casually."

While the home fans were celebrating, José stood still, so excited that he forgot to celebrate.

It took a while for Jose to return to normal, only to see his knees on the ground and his head to the sky and howl.

It's a day to remember.

The first official match goal of his career, despite the element of luck, gave Jose a glimpse of the way forward.

The game continues.

Jose's sudden goal shattered Arsenal's plans at once.

If they don't change and keep the score until the end, the two sides will go to penalties.

Penalty shootouts are never a good choice for strong teams.

It is visible to the naked eye that Arsenal's young players are becoming proactive.

Bellerin, Gnabry, Iwobi, Olsen and other Arsenal players frequently entered the Villa penalty area.

José didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and unceremoniously commanded his teammates.

Previously, his teammates treated Jose like a normal teammate, but now, after Jose opened the scoring, their psychology has slowly begun to change.

"Watch out for Bellerin." Jose shouted.

Jose found that although Bellerin played as a right wing-back, he could sprint into the box as easily as a winger.

"Bellerin will definitely be part of a strong team in the future." José thought so in his heart.

And this Gnabry, who looks unremarkable, but José has a faint feeling that his future will not be too simple.

In the 16th minute, Gnabry and Bellerin combined on the flanks to get past Villa's left wing-back with ease.

Gnabry burst into the box with the ball and crossed to Olsen, who was cut in.

Olsen stopped the ball with his left foot and shifted the ball to Bellerin, who had just burst into the box.

Bellerin was already able to shoot at this point, but he opted to play a through ball to Gnabry, who was in a better position.

A series of short passes combined directly stunned the defenders of the Villa youth team.

On the right-hand edge of the six-yard box, no one interfered with Gnabry and there was a chance to shoot calmly.

As for José, seeing Gnabry get the ball, his body bent slightly, staring intently at Gnabry's feet, trying to catch the accurate direction of the shot the moment he shooted.

José's mind Gnabry guessed probably, he gave up the angle of the shot and opted for a powerful volley, believing that at such a close distance, even if Jose caught the direction of his shot, Jose would not have reacted quickly enough.

The ball left Gnabry's feet and flew quickly towards the bottom of the goal.

"Time and space pause."

José didn't hesitate.

Playing speed, for Jose, who is open, is the most wrong choice.

Jose has tested, a second of pause in space-time, he can move about 3-4 meters.

When time resumes, all one can see is Jose lunging towards the ball, keeping it out of the danger zone before it can cross the goal line.

"Huh? This goalkeeper reacted too quickly, right? ”

"yes, the level of a senior goalkeeper."

'It's not just the level of the senior team, but I have a faint feel like De Gea (De Gea's close-range saves are his forte). Someone said.

Gnabry looked a little frustrated to see his shot saved, but it was a great opportunity.

The ball flew out of the six-yard box and landed in front of Villa's number five.

This time he was calm, looked in the right direction and kicked the ball out of the box again.

Villa's youth team dismantled this attack from Arsenal.

The game continues.

Villa had a rare chance to counter-attack.

Unfortunately, in the end, they did not take advantage of this opportunity, and the two sides fought again in midfield.

Even though Jose is one of the two most idle on the pitch, he does not look around like the Arsenal goalkeeper, but silently follows the situation on the pitch.

Because of this, whenever Arsenal attacked in the penalty area, Jose would arrange defenders in advance, so that Arsenal's attacks repeatedly failed.

In the end, the two sides did not achieve anything in the first half, and the score of 1-0 was brought into the second half.

Intermission, live chat room.

"This game is a bit dull, doesn't it mean that the youth team's games are undefended and the goals are like numbness?"

"It was normal times, and in this game, apart from Grealish and Robinson, the others on the Villa side were really too average to attack at all."

"As for Arsenal, there are a few players who are very good, but Villa's goalkeeper is too rebellious, and 13 shots on goal can't get a goal." There is an understanding of the Emperor of the Ball and analyzed.

"Makes sense. This also shows that we are about to have a real door god in Huaxia. ”

"But I don't want him to represent the national football team."

"I think so too, as far as the national football team is concerned, Buffon can't bring it with him."

"Is it possible for Jose to surpass Buffon?"

"How is it possible, you think you write a novel."

Locker room.

Grealish sat next to José and grinned, "José, was your lob shot intentional or unintentional?" It's so beautiful. ”

"I'm blind." José replied half-truthfully.

"Why don't you see that we can blind into one?"

While everyone was talking, MacDonald walked into the locker room.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Hearing MacDonald's voice, everyone fell silent.

'Everyone played really well in the first half and at that pace we didn't have a chance to get to the final. However, there are still some areas that need to be improved. ”

Immediately afterward, McDonald quickly rearranged the tactical arrangements for the second half.

There were few changes overall, with the main changes being that Grealish was moved to a wide position and Robinson was moved to a central striker position.

There wasn't a lot of time in half-time, and McDonald was quick to speak and explain his arrangements as clearly as possible.

"One last thing, if you have a direct free-kick opportunity, let Jose take the penalty." After McDonald announced the final decision, the time for the second half was up.

Despite doubts about McDonald's arrangement, the players nodded in agreement.

In the tunnel of the players, Grealish stood behind Jose and couldn't help but ask: "Jose, can you still score in the second half?" ”
