Chapter 14: Penalties? Red?
"I can't." Jose shook his head directly.
'What an international joke, I'm just a goalkeeper and my job is to keep the goal, not to score goals.
José secretly complained in his heart.
The two did not communicate again, but followed the referee back to the court.
Chat room.
"Come on, Arsenal."
"Come on."
"Come on, Jose."
Well?
……
"Beep-" A whistle blew, and the second half of the game began.
Villa's Robinson kicks off in the centre circle.
Players from both sides run fast towards the opposing half.
Villa's first wave of attack was extremely crotch-strained, with the midfielder making a mistake on a forward pass and the ball falling to the feet of the Arsenal player.
"Pass the side." McDonald yells at the Villa players.
McDonald is well aware that the difference in quality between the players of the two sides does not allow Villa to attack the opponent's hinterland through a midfield pass, and there is only one tactic he can rely on, breaking through the wing and dropping a cross.
It's a conspiracy.
Falling crosses are arguably the most common tactic used by teams in the lower middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, as they require little skill from players and are also efficient.
Villa's youth tactics are open.
The tactics of the Arsenal youth team have not changed much, and the pass-and-control style of play has always been their tradition.
Bellerin was lively in the second half, making as many interceptions as possible at Grealish and unrelentingly rushing into the Villa penalty area.
"Star embryos." This is the recognition given to Bellerin by netizens who watched the live broadcast.
"Gnabry is not bad, but his physical fitness is not suitable in the Premier League, so he can try it in the Bundesliga."
Although Chinese football is not good, there are still many people who understand football.
"Watch out for Iwobi."
When Bellerin got the ball and attracted three Villa players to come forward to block it, Jose saw that Arsenal striker Iwobi was unguarded and immediately alerted him.
It's just that Jose's reminder came too late, and Bellerin managed to find a gap between the three and pass the ball to Iwobi.
In the six-yard box, Iwobi took the ball and faced Jose single-handedly.
Well, this is the case, and José has to be careful.
Take a deep breath just as Jose prepares to unleash a stunt when Iwobi shoots.
A figure sped closer, and one of Vera's guards arrived.
Then Jose saw an extremely speechless scene, and the No. 6 player who returned to the defense directly tackled Iwobi and put Iwobi to the ground on the spot.
"Beep, beep..." a short and two long whistles sounded, and the referee ran over quickly.
Penalty kick? Red?
The hearts of Villa fans were hung in the air.
The referee first communicated with the linesman and the fourth referee before calling the relevant players to him.
Eventually, the referee pulled out a red card.
Villa youth player Donasian received a ruby card.
After showing the red card, the referee again pointed to 12 yards.
Red Dot Package!
Villa's fans stood in the stands, boosing everywhere.
Live chat room.
"Haha, it's stable all of a sudden."
"Our factory will win."
"If I had known, I would have pressed more happy beans."
…
José didn't complain about Donahian's reckless behavior, just patted him on the shoulder and watched him leave the court.
Arsenal deliberated and decided that Iwobi would take the penalty.
Iwobi took a deep breath and shot in one go.
"Time and space pause."
The moment the ball was shot, Jose used the stunt again.
In just a second, Jose quickly caught the direction of the ball, and Iwobi's shot turned out to be directed at Jose's lower right.
Shots from this angle are extremely difficult to save, and if you go straight sideways, there is a high probability that the ball will pass the goalkeeper's leg over the goal line.
Jose has his own solution, though.
He took a step to the left, then threw himself sideways to the right and blocked the ball on the goal line.
"Heos...", the Villa fans applauded.
It's just that they rejoiced too soon.
Jose blocked the ball, which was grabbed by Bellerin first, and immediately hit the goal.
At this time, Jose has fallen to the ground, and it is impossible to get up to save, and as for the space-time pause stunt, it is still in the recovery CD.
1 to 1.
The Arsenal fans cheered.
The Villa fans stood in the stands, and there was silence for an instant.
Sadness and joy change too quickly, making it difficult for people to accept for a while.
MacDonald sighed helplessly.
With the aggregate score down and Arsenal holding the away goal advantage, it will be too difficult for Villa Juniors to come back.
Don't forget, Villa's youth team is still playing one less player at this time.
Disappointment to disappointment, Macdonald still made adjustments as soon as possible.
He removed the right winger and replaced it with a young defender.
"Wait for my shot." José whispered a word of advice to Grealish.
Grealish didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and ran briskly forward.
Kick-off in the center circle.
Villa's youth team did not rush into the attack, although they are now behind.
Arsenal's young players are high in morale and fighting spirit at this time.
Villa didn't dare to attack, but Arsenal did.
In this way, the game came to the 81st minute, and Jose saved Arsenal's shot again.
Glancing towards the front.
Golden opportunity.
Jose found Grealish unmarked at this point.
Decisive and fast goal kick.
The ball flew quickly and landed exactly in front of Grealish.
There was no need to stop the ball, just a quick run forward to catch the ball, and Grealish felt extremely comfortable the whole time.
Grealish raced with the ball and in the blink of an eye he was on the left side of the Arsenal penalty area.
At the same time, Robinson also killed.
At this time, in the Arsenal penalty area, in addition to the goalkeeper, there are only two central defenders.
Two against two, a rare opportunity.
Grealish was able to shoot at this point, but he was not greedy and in the face of two centre-backs, he decisively passed the ball to Robinson, who had just arrived.
Robinson took the ball, faced the Arsenal goalkeeper with a single knife, calmly pushed a left-footed shot, and the ball went past the goalkeeper and into the net from the top right of the goal.
"Good shot!"
"It's too efficient."
There was applause from the Villa fans in the stands, who applauded Robinson for the scorer, Grealish for the assist, and Jose for the counter-attack.
Jose's fast-kick was so crucial that he found Grealish exactly before the Arsenal players had time to retreat.
Grealish didn't let José's pass live up to it, and his pass was just as crucial.
If Grealish is a man of merit and chooses to shoot himself, he is likely to be blocked by Arsenal's two centre-backs and the goalkeeper.
Robinson's goal gave Villa fans hope that despite playing one less, they still have confidence in the team they support.
McDonald saw his players score and excitedly danced with the assistant coach on the spot.
The enthusiastic and unrestrained Scottish dance made MacDonald, who is over half a hundred years old, seem to return to his youth.
Villa Juniors clawed back a crucial point through Robinson, but they are still yet to progress due to goals scored home and away.
With less than ten minutes left, who is the last team?
