"I guess so."

There was uncertainty in the tone of the speaker.

If they hadn't watched the two teams play each other, no one would have thought that Villa's youth team would have any chances. Only those who watched the game between the two teams knew that Jose's performance in front of goal was just too unexpected.

…

In the dressing room, McDonald just smiled and laughed at his players, he didn't want the youngsters to be burdened with too much pressure.

Coming this far, even if you don't win a trophy in the end, it will be a valuable experience for these young players.

On the other hand, if too much pressure is put on these young people and they end up losing the game, it is likely to cause unpredictable psychological damage to these young people.

José, on the other hand, sat quietly and thought.

The ten-minute break passed quickly, and as Jose and his teammates walked out of the locker room, McDonald shouted from behind him, "Enjoy the game." ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Jose suddenly realized that he was too persistent.

Stepping onto the pitch, José was completely relaxed.

But with hard work, don't ask about the result.

The second half continued.

Chelsea were not in a hurry to attack after kick-off, opting instead to fall in the back.

However, a pass error by Chalobah allowed Robinson to steal the ball, but unfortunately there was no team-mate around him to support him, and Ake and Cuevas teamed up to block his advance.

Seeing this, Grealish hurried forward to help.

Grealish joins in, and a scuffle ensues on the spot.

José stood in his own penalty area, watching everyone on the pitch intently, while mentally calculating the possible offensive lines of the opponent. It's just that due to visual factors, José has never been able to see clearly.

The battle for midfield ended with Chelsea winning the game, with Ake eventually snatching possession.

Seeing Ake in possession of the ball, Zike hurriedly retreated to respond.

Chelsea's quick counter-attack.

Loftus-Cheek raced the ball down the left flank and was soon on the edge of the box.

Facing Villa's No.2 centre-back, Loftus-Cheek split the ball, shook off the defence and crossed to Piazon in the middle.

Piazon smashed the ball with his left foot, turned two steps to the right, and suddenly volleyed with his right foot, and the ball rolled like a rolling bullet towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

"Good shot!" The fans, who had been nervous, suddenly shouted.

Piason's shot, both in terms of angle and strength, was perfect, quite a bit of the level of a famous star.

As for José, when Piazon got the ball, his god-level prediction had already told him the possible shooting route Piazon would choose.

With all his might, Jose's fingers touched the rolling ball slightly, slightly changing the direction of the ball's movement, and finally causing the ball to graze the goal post and go out of the bottom line.

"Wow." The audience was boiling, and fans on both sides gave their players warm applause.

Piazon's shot was beautiful, and Jose's save was a must, knowing that Jose didn't use special skills, he relied on his own anticipation and saving ability to save a perfect shot from the bottom line.

"Roar..."

Jose waved his fists and raised his head to the sky and roared, like a tiger descending from the mountain, his momentum was compelling, and invisibly, at this time, he already had the spirit of a soldier who surrendered without a fight.

Looking at Jose's fierce appearance, several players nearby couldn't help but feel their hearts shake, so much so that they forgot to enter the penalty area to compete for a corner kick for a while.

A Chelsea corner was easily slotted into Jose's arms.

The goal kick was taken and the ball was at the feet of Grealish, who came back to pick it up.

Villa's counter-attack, but Robinson's shot was deflected off target.

In the 67th minute, Chelsea began to make a substitution, with Nell Bass replacing Chalobah with 16-year-old Lewis Baker.

Unlike Chalobah, Baker is a more attacking player with excellent passing awareness and is also very dangerous from set-pieces and long-range shots.

It is clear that Chelsea are going to step up their attack.

Just two minutes later, Baker picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area and suddenly fired a long-range shot that hit Villa's number four.

"Huh?"

Baker's long-range shot caught José's attention, and the teenager who had just come on was not simple.

After that, Baker did not hesitate to choose a long-range shot whenever he looked for an opportunity, but to little avail.

In the 73rd minute, Villa's youth team also began to make changes, McDonald removed a striker, added a midfielder, and two wing-backs began to shrink back, faintly forming a back five.

"What is this doing here? Is it useful to fall behind by a goal and not want to score a goal to get back into the score, but choose to shrink back to defense? ”

"Who knows?"

'As things stand, Villa won 1-0 at their home stadium and Chelsea are currently 1-0 up, with the aggregate score drawn 1-1 and no away goals. If neither side can score before the end of the game, then there will be extra-time or even a brutal penalty shoot-out. ”

"You're saying Villa's move was meant to drag it out until the penalty shoot-out?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. With Villa's quality, it will not be easy to break down Chelsea's door while playing away from home. Villa's goalkeepers are strong, but Chelsea's Blackman is no less weak either. ”

"If the situation you said really happens and it drags on to the penalty shootout, then it's all hard to say. Penalty shootout, what a brutal scene. ”

'That's just a possibility, there's more than 10 minutes to go, so maybe who can score. Look, it's coming. ”

In the 77th minute, Chelsea were awarded a free-kick from outside the box on the right.

In the athletic battle, Piazon and others did not have many chances at all, so they cherished this set-piece.

As for Jose, when he saw Piazon and Baker standing at the penalty spot at the same time to discuss countermeasures, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Different people play in different styles, and Baker is not as good as Piazon in terms of dribbling ability and technique, but he is a lot stronger than Piason.

Therefore, if it is Baker who takes the penalty, he will most likely choose to volley hard.

Therefore, José must be prepared with both hands.

As he directs his teammates to line up the wall, he silently keeps an eye on Piazon and Baker, trying to catch clues from each other's facial expressions to determine who is most likely.

Although Piazon was at the heart of this team, Jose's hunch was that the free-kick would be the young Lewis Baker.

As expected, when the referee's whistle blew, Baker began to move.

I saw that he ran and shot in one go, and the ball flew past the human wall, and one of them changed direction slightly because he was hit by a person.

The ball was so fast that Jose couldn't see his flight path too clearly because his vision was blocked. By the time he could see clearly, he had slowed down half a step, unless he used the stunt again.

However, the problem now is that Jose only has 5 available stunts left, which he has prepared for a possible penalty shoot-out.

What to do?
