Chapter 55: Battle of West Brom

It was an extremely dull game.

After the first kick-off, West Bromwich Albion struggled to fall at the back.

Paul Lambert, on the other hand, instructed the Villa players not to attack lightly, but to stabilize their formation before looking for counter-attacking opportunities.

As for the manager's arrangement, Jose and his teammates can only obey.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, neither side had a single shot on target, and Jose made no save.

In the 23rd minute, Villa midfielder Delph received the first yellow card of the game for a defensive foul.

It was this yellow card that made both sides angry.

In the 40th minute of the first half, West Bromwich Albion's Brent was substituted due to injury, and the substitute was Scottish international Dorains.

When Dorrance came on the pitch, he immediately changed the attacking situation for West Brom.

Two minutes later, Geira struck a cold shot from the edge of the box and the ball grazed Vlaar's shoulder and changed direction slightly.

There was no way, the sudden change, Jose could only use stunts.

As a result, he has 11 stunts left.

With almost no pauses, the first half stoppage time was just two minutes.

Although there were only two minutes of stoppage time, West Brom made a substitution in the 46th minute.

They replaced Billy Jones, who had done well, with Tamash.

Spectators and fans were incomprehensible to West Bromwich Albion's move, and only those who stood close could find out that Billy Jones had been injured in a hidden area.

It was only at half-time that West Bromwich Albion passively used up two substitutions.

In the end, the two sides did nothing in the first half and went into the second half with a score of 0-0.

After exchanging venues, both sides finally began to get serious.

In the 51st minute, West Brom broke down the left flank and played the ball on the edge of the box, before the ball fell to Sean Lang on the right.

The unmarked Shaun Lang took the ball and volleyed it straight into the far side of the goal, before smashing into the grass in front of the goal line, followed by an unpredictable change of direction.

"Huh?" Jose's heart tightened, and the god-level prediction did not predict the direction of the ball's movement.

"Time and space pause."

Jose consumes one more stunt, and the remaining number becomes 10.

One second, extremely short, but enough for Jose to cope with the sudden change.

After the ball bounces to the ground, the direction of flight is the center of the goal, but the distance is too close, and even if you can react, you can't save it in time.

But Jose is no ordinary goalkeeper!

In addition, he is standing closer to the center of the goal.

When a short second passed, both the audience and the fans watching the live broadcast in front of the screen saw an afterimage that first shook to the left, and then quickly turned to the center of the goal.

When Jose hit the ball out, it was just one centimeter away from crossing the goal line entirely.

Live chat room.

"Damn, this is not going in."

"The performance of the Villa goalkeeper, I would like to call it the door god."

"Such a great goalkeeper, why doesn't the national team want him?"

No one answered.

……

Back to the game.

Jose blocked the ball, which fell in the penalty area, and was cleared by Clarke first.

So far, Vera has escaped.

Villa then began to make substitutions.

First, N'Zogbia came off the bench to replace Albrighton.

Darren Bent then replaced Benteke, and although his ability has decreased, he is still the most dangerous player in Villa's frontcourt, and his threat is not only in his goals, but in his ability to pull more space for his team-mates to attack.

In the end, Paul Lambert didn't wait any longer and used up the last substitution, bringing on Bannan for the mediocre Delph.

Under West Bromwich Albion's interspersed passes, Delph, who did not have a midfield position, really had little chance to perform.

Seeing that the Villa team has completed the adjustment, the West Brom manager has also made one last adjustment.

Young player Romelu Lukaku, who is on loan from Chelsea, came off the bench.

Like Jose, Romelu Lukaku is a Chelsea player but has been on loan.

Romelu Lukaku is seen by Chelsea as the best successor to Drogba, both in terms of physical fitness and style of play, which is very similar to the monster Drogba.

Except for one thing, there is a big difference in the ball control skills at the feet of the two.

Chelsea have sent Romelu Lukaku out on loan in the hope that he will get more opportunities to play and improve his skills at his feet.

When Romelu Lukaku came on, Jose's first feeling was that he was too strong.

In a corner, Jose was almost knocked out by Lukaku.

In order to maintain the flexibility of his body, José has been trying his best to suppress his weight.

Jose, who is almost 187cm tall today, has not weighed more than 75 kilograms.

Is there any way to improve your physical ability while maintaining flexibility?

……

With the final ten minutes of the game soon remaining, West Brom began to shrink their formation and were ready to settle for a draw. For West Bromwich Albion, playing away, a draw is not unacceptable.

But Villa can't accept a draw, their home stadium, and the opponent is only West Bromwich Albion instead of the big6 giants, how can they shake hands with the opponent?

It's just that none of them have been able to make the final blow.

In the 84th minute of the game, Darren Bent stepped up.

The Villa midfielder had a quick counter-attack and broke down the flank to cross the ball to Darren Bent.

Facing two West Brom defenders, Darren Bent forced his foot to shoot and the ball passed the feet of the two West Brom players and rolled towards the bottom left near post.

The West Brom goalkeeper made a great save and was unable to stop the ball despite touching it.

Villa led 1-0.

The balance was upset and West Bromwich Albion had to try, but unfortunately it was too late.

In the end, relying on Darren Bent's goal, the Villa team won by 1 goal.

Three consecutive wins in the Premier League without conceding a single goal not only kept Villa away from the bottom of the table, but even faintly began to move towards the top of the table.

And Jose's performance in these games also allowed him to completely sit in the main position.

No matter how conservative Paul Lambert is, it cannot be denied that Jose's quality is already at the level of a first-class goalkeeper.

A first-class goalkeeper, as long as his fame keeps up, is a real star player.

Can Jose become a superstar player in the future? No one will deny it.

As for the supergiants above the superstars, José himself did not dare to imagine.

There are only a handful of people in the world today who can be called supergiants, and they are all offensive players.

The goalkeeper position, even Buffon and Cech, can only be called a superstar, unless it is Yashin in ancient times, maybe he can be called a superstar.

"Let's talk about it later." Jose shook his head, turned on the system light curtain, and received his reward.

For clean sheets and winning rewards, Jose received a total of 4,000 points and 4 silver chests, and as for the gold chests, the shadow was not seen.

In addition, one of the things that José is particularly concerned about is that there are seven available stunts left, seven that can be recovered before the match against Tottenham, that is, a total of 14.

With 14 stunts, can you cope with Tottenham's powerful attacking group?
