With a three-goal lead, Villa's fans were delighted.

With the score trailing, Everton manager David Moyes began to make substitutions.

Jelavic and Oviedo came off the bench at the same time, with Mirallas and Heitinga coming on as substitutes.

In the 69th minute, Everton equalised.

Marouane Fella and his team-mates combined a pass in the Villa penalty area, causing confusion at the back of the Villa defence and then firing a shot from 12 yards, which rolled into the back of the net after a roll refracted.

Jose was blocked by his teammates in the confusion and failed to save his shot.

Of course, for this goal, Jose can still save it if he uses stunts, but thinking that the team has a three-goal lead, he wants to rely on his own ability to solve it, but the result is still a little worse.

However, Jose is confident that after the evolution of his body, he can save Fellaini's goal without relying on stunts.

In the end, Villa won 3-1 away.

Unfortunately, Jose didn't get the clean sheet award.

Post-match summary:

Everton had 68.3 per cent possession, more than double that of Villa.

In terms of shots, Everton hit 21 shots and hit the target eight times, but only one goal.

Villa, on the other hand, had eight shots on goal and hit the target just three, but they scored three goals with an enviable efficiency.

…

After the Everton game, Jose and his team-mates were given a week to recover.

At the same time, there were results on the parents' side.

It turned out that they unexpectedly learned that Xia Guoyong and Teacher Wang were married and were going abroad for their honeymoon.

So Jose's parents cheekily found Xia Guoyong, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wang did not object, the so-called two-person world is far less comfortable than the lively and lively.

In this way, the four of them came to England together.

José was very happy about the arrival of his parents.

Except for one small thing.

That is, Jose's father is eager to see a Manchester United game, while his mother is adamant to watch her son's game.

As for why not watch Villa's game before going to Manchester to watch Manchester United?

That's because, it just so happens that the next two rounds, the Villa game and the Manchester United game, are scheduled on the same day.

Most importantly, two weeks later, on 24 February, the final of the EFL Cup will be held, and Villa's opponent will be Chelsea, who had beaten Villa in the past.

Jose was not allowed to play in the game against Chelsea under the terms of his loan, but after Mendes communicated, Abu unexpectedly agreed to Jose's request.

On 24 February, Villa's away game against Arsenal was postponed to three days later.

In other words, two of the remaining three games in February are the main ones.

…

On February 10, the first day of the Chinese New Year, when the Chinese people were celebrating the holiday at home, the 26th round of the English Premier League continued to play.

Villa are back at home to take on West Ham United from afar.

In the first half, neither side achieved anything.

It wasn't until the 74th minute that Villa were awarded a penalty to break the deadlock.

Benteke took the penalty and didn't kick it off this time and slotted the ball into the back of the net.

Villa then won a free-kick and N'Zogbia scored from a direct free-kick to seal the win.

Before the end of the game, Jose almost allowed his opponent to score the goal.

In the 89th minute, the opponent's shot, hit Westwood, bounced in the direction of the goal.

With his parents in attendance, Jose used a stunt to block Westwood's own goal without danger.

In the end, Villa won 2-0 at home.

…

After the game, José went out with his parents for a few days, a holiday granted to him by the manager.

On 16 and 17 February, the international break, Jose was once again absent from the national squad, giving him two weeks to recover.

For missing the call-up to the national team again and again, Jose slowly began to lose hope.

During the holidays, José visited Old Trafford with his parents, a father's wish and there was no reason why José should not support it.

As for the unhappiness that has been encountered at Manchester United? José has long since forgotten about it.

Jose even sometimes thinks that if he had stayed at Manchester United, he would not have had the opportunity to achieve where he is today.

"Thank you for the grace of Sandezi." José said open-mindedly.

After visiting Old Trafford, José took his parents to London. There, they visited Stamford Bridge, visited the famous high streets, and finally went to the British Museum.

In the museum, looking at the collection of antiques that originally belonged to China, José had mixed feelings.

"May there be peace in the world." José sighed.

During these days, José took care of his parents as much as he could, buying them lots and lots of things.

Although Jose's salary is not high, he has a lot of bonuses, and in half a year, he has saved nearly 500,000 pounds, which can be a luxury for his parents.

After the holiday, Jose's parents followed Xia Guoyong and his wife to Windermere Lake for a week, where they will spend a week before returning to London on the 24th, where they will head to Wembley Stadium to watch the English League Cup final.

As for Jose, it is natural to return to the training base to prepare for the upcoming League Cup final.

While many Premier League teams look down on the Carabao Cup because of its modest prize money and the title team only getting £200,000, it is always a title for Jose, regardless of whether it is high or low.

Years from now, people will only remember who won which titles, not how great he was.

As the final day approached, Jose could clearly feel the nervousness of his teammates, after all, for many on the team, it was the first official championship match of his life.

What's more, just over a month ago, they were hit by a bloodbath from their opponents, and they needed to get back up in time.

Jose has won the FA Youth Cup and was against Chelsea at the time, so he was one of the easiest performers.

……

On February 24, the Chinese Lantern Festival, at 17 pm local time in the UK, Wembley Stadium, the 12/13 English League Cup final officially began.

The two sides are Aston Villa and Chelsea.

Jose's parents and Xia Guoyong and his wife both came to the scene to watch the game, and it is not difficult to get a few tickets with Jose's current status.

Before the start of the match, the two sides announced the squad for the match.

For Villa, the main goalkeeper is undoubtedly Jose, with Vlaar and Clarke in central defence, Lowton and Bennet as two wing-backs each, Delph and Westwood in the back, Benteke as a central striker, and Weimann, N'Zogbia and Agbonlahor behind him.

For Chelsea, the main goalkeeper is naturally Cech, John Terry returns from injury and partners Cahill in central defence, Ivan and Cesar Azpilicueta are flanked separately, Frank Lampard and Ramires are in double midfield, the central striker is the Holy Baby Torres, and behind Torres are Hazard, Mata and Oscar.

Chelsea, who are strong, can Villa win against each other?
