Chapter 84: Kick it off
Hazard stopped the ball on his chest and volleyed a left-footed volley to the near post.
Jose was still at the right post of the goal, and he was going to block Ivan's shot.
From one side of the goal to the other, the total distance reached 7 meters, and in the time of a one-second pause in space-time, Jose could only move less than 4 meters.
Will it be a last-minute Chelsea stunner?
"No, absolutely not."
José's heart was full of unwillingness.
In the midst of lightning, he thought of one thing.
I saw Jose kick hard with his right foot in the direction of the goalpost, and with the power of the rebound of the goalpost, Jose flew towards the other side of the goal.
"Time and space pause."
Jose made his 10th stunt of the game after moving one meter.
Finally, just as the ball was about to cross the goal line, Jose fished it out with both hands.
In this way, Jose defused Chelsea's last attack before the end.
"Genius, this can also be imagined." Seeing that Jose actually borrowed the rebound force of the goalpost to achieve rapid acceleration, the on-site commentators were amazed.
After a slight delay, and after everyone had left the Villa penalty area, Jose kicked the ball in the back of the net.
"Beep, beep, beep..." The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game before the goal kick landed.
It's just that the event isn't over yet.
Since it is the final of the League Cup, the two sides must decide the winner and loser, so the two sides who draw within 90 minutes can only continue to play extra time, if the extra time is still drawn, it will be a cruel penalty shootout.
With only a 5-minute break, José took the time to take a sip of water and moisten his throat a little.
…
"Come on, hold on, and hold on to the end is victory." Jose clenched his fists with his teammates.
Although Jose kept cheering up his teammates, he still had a hidden concern in his heart, that is, he only had 5 stunts.
With 5 stunts, it was not an easy task to survive extra time and the final penalty shootout. It's not that Jose isn't strong enough, it's that Chelsea are too strong, and with the Villa team, which is already under-qualified, they are now playing one less player.
In the eyes of the outside world, this was originally a one-sided massacre, but now it has survived overtime, which is already a miracle, and even a very small number of people have begun to shout match-fixing.
Extra time begins.
Villa were the first to attack.
Chelsea's defence is almost flawless, and Villa's players can only look for opportunities on the periphery.
Benteke opted to force his way through, but Terry shoveled the ball away first, and Villa's first wave of extra-time failed.
Terry, who shoveled away the ball, got up as soon as possible, still guarding the edge of the penalty area, and his resolute figure made the goalkeeper feel extremely relieved and trusted.
Chelsea's attacking attack also failed to threaten Jose's goal, and Vlaar was not as resolute as John Terry, but he was solid and reliable.
Although it blocked Chelsea's attack, the ball was still at Chelsea's feet.
Frank Lampard wins the ball down the middle.
This time, instead of splitting the side, he suddenly volleyed from outside the box.
The threat is high, and if Jose is not careful, Frank Lampard's cold arrow still has a chance to score.
In the first half of extra time, the two sides still did nothing.
There was no rest, and the two sides immediately changed sides and fought again.
In the 22nd minute of extra time, Ashley Cole made a successful steal, advanced slightly on the wing, and found Hazard in front of him with a long pass.
After Hazard got the ball, he changed his habit and passed directly diagonally into the penalty area.
It turned out that he saw that Demba Ba had burst into the box and was unmarked.
Demba Ba received Hazard's pass and, without making any adjustments, fired a powerful volley.
The ball, spinning in place.
Demba Ba kicked.
The audience was dumbfounded.
At this time, Jose was attracted by Demba Ba's shot.
Demba Ba, who kicked the ball, took control of the ball again before the Villa players, adjusted slightly, and shot again.
There was no mistake this time, and the ball grazed the Villa backline and flew towards the far post of the goal.
"Time and space pause."
With only 5 stunts, Jose was originally going to save it for the penalty shootout, but Jose understood that if he didn't use it now, there would be no penalty shootout at all.
Demba Ba's first shot on goal not only deceived Jose, but also Demba Ba himself, it was purely an accident, and the beneficiary of this accident was Demba Ba.
After deflecting Demba Ba's shot, Jose only had four stunts.
In the final minutes, Chelsea's attack suddenly became fierce and it looked like they didn't want a penalty shoot-out.
The rainy night in Moscow in '08 will probably be an unforgettable memory for the rest of their lives, although they won the penalty shoot-out in May last year, but they still don't want to face that cruel situation.
In the final minute of extra-time, Chelsea were awarded a free-kick on the left side of the pitch.
Juan Mata didn't take the free-kick and conceded it to Frank Lampard.
For some reason, José had a bad premonition.
The game has reached a stalemate at this point, there will be no surprises, right?
The god-level prediction did not respond, and Jose opened up the God's perspective while directing his teammates to line up the human wall.
"I didn't find any problems." Jose muttered.
Although he didn't notice anything wrong, José watched the players on the pitch with full attention, believing that his hunch could not be wrong.
Frank Lampard's runs, his touches, everything was normal, and there was nothing wrong with it except that the kick was rolling on the ground.
From God's point of view, José could clearly see the ball rolling from the foot of the wall towards the near post.
Jose was standing in the center of the goal.
Seeing the direction of Frank Lampard's free-kick, Jose immediately moved towards the left side of the goal.
That's when the unexpected happened.
A water bottle falls from the sky and collides with a rolling ball, which deflects.
"Nima, you British fans, can you have some quality!" Jose scolded his mother on the spot.
He had heard of the football hooligans in Great Britain for a long time, but he had never encountered them, he always thought that it was just a rumor, and what he didn't expect was that he encountered a troublemaker today.
The ball that swerved and turned and rolled towards the right side of the goal.
Not to mention that Jose can't brake in an instant, and even if he can, it is difficult to rush from the left side of the goal to the right side of the goal in a short period of time and then make a save.
There was no way, Jose had to use the stunt again.
As a result, he only had 3 stunts left.
According to the statistics, Cech didn't have a high success rate of around 20 per cent, but in last season's Champions League final penalty shoot-out, they won against Bayern Munich, who were goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The reason for this is that Chelsea's penalty kick rate is surprisingly high, so to speak, if the average goalkeeper faces Chelsea's penalty taker, it is conservatively estimated that he can score 4 times out of 5 times.
As for Villa's penalty takers, only Benteke is guaranteed, in addition to Wiman and N'Zogbia, the rest are ......
The pressure on José is mounting.
