Live chat room.

"Villa is finished, let a goalkeeper go to take a penalty, is this nobody?" Seeing Jose walking towards the penalty spot, someone immediately said so.

"I don't think so, maybe the Villa goalkeeper can kick it in?"

"Even if you can't kick in, the two sides are 2-2, and even if you enter the 'sudden death law', Villa is not without a chance."

"The back hand is very bad."

…

"Hello, Mr. Peter." Jose greeted Cech.

Cech was visibly stunned for a moment when he greeted José, he didn't expect Jose to greet him.

"Hello." Cech replied.

Jose's identity is known to Petr Cech, and Petr Cech will naturally not ignore this future successor.

"I'm going to start."

Without too many words, Jose began to prepare for the penalty.

In fact, Jose didn't have much experience in penalty shooting, and the free-kick technique he learned only taught him how to kick the ball out.

Therefore, this time the penalty, his only plan is to hit the goal vigorously, as for the angle or something, it is not something he has to think about at all.

Glancing in the direction of the goal, José began to run while concentrating all his strength on his legs.

"Bang..."

The moment the ball collided with Jose's foot, it was even visibly dented, and then turned into a streamer and swept quickly towards the top of the goal.

Shot high?

Before people could react, the sound of the ball hitting the crossbar was heard.

By the time everything was calm, the ball was lying quietly in the goal.

Jose's penalty, it's in!

The whole thing happened so fast that even the closest person didn't see how the ball got into the goal.

After the video is played back in slow motion, the fans will see it clearly.

Jose's kick of the ball, at great speed, hit the inside of the crossbar before bounced into the goal.

Jose's shots are angled, skillful or unskilled, and only strength and luck.

If Jose's penalty kicks a little bit higher, the result is a ball that bounces off the crossbar.

"We're champions." After a moment of silence, there was a roar from the Villa fan stands.

Hearing this roar, Jose jumped up with excitement as if he had just woken up from a dream.

The championship is here!

Jose raced to the bench.

Seeing José running, his teammates opened their arms and prepared to meet José.

"Ugh." However, the result was that all his teammates were stunned, and Jose simply high-fived them, then turned around and ran to the audience behind the bench, leaving a group of slightly stunned teammates in place.

It turned out that José wanted to share this moment of victory with his parents and teachers.

"Dad, Mom, Teacher, I did it." José hugged his parents excitedly, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Good, good." The elders gently patted José's shoulder, smiling comfortingly.

After a while, José let go of his parents and returned to his teammates.

Although José's face is still full of bright smiles, his demeanor has become extremely stable.

The League Cup title was just the first step on his way to the top.

Winning the League Cup means that next season, the Villa team will definitely be able to participate in European competitions.

As for going one step further and securing a Champions League spot next season? That is of course the best thing, but with Villa's current strength, it still needs to be down-to-earth and step by step.

Everything still depends on the next league results.

The award ceremony was pompous, at least more than the FA Youth Cup.

Chelsea's players, although they have regrets and missed the championship, but they did not show too much loss, after all, they are full of honor, and it is not the first time that they have passed by the championship.

During the awards, there was also a small episode.

John Terry led a few of his Chelsea veterans to Jose to congratulate him.

Jose was a little moved by Terry's approach, after all, he had never played for Chelsea and was now snatching the title from them as an opponent.

The ceremony lasted for more than two hours before the people dispersed.

After saying goodbye to his parents, José returned to the training base with the team bus.

In three days' time, they will travel to London again to take on Arsenal away.

After Arsenal, it will be the third meeting with defending champions Manchester City.

……

The next day, José was woken up by the sound of text messages from his phone, squinting sleepily, and José grabbed his phone.

"Happy Coming-of-Age Day." The first message came from Asuka Saito.

"Happy birthday, son." This is followed by a message from the parents.

"Happy birthday, we're waiting for you to get back to the team." Here's Terry's message.

"Happy birthday, junior brother." Obviously, this is the message of the senior sister.

…

There were hundreds of messages, from acquaintances and strangers, all of them to congratulate José on his birthday.

That's when José remembered that today was his 18th birthday.

18 years old means that he is an adult, and many things can no longer be as childlike as before.

Of course, 18 also means that he can do a lot of things, such as drinking during vacations? Why did you think of drinking? José doesn't know, maybe it's out of curiosity.

There were so many messages that Jose could only pick out some familiar responses, and just like that, he spent more than an hour.

After washing up, I had breakfast in the base canteen.

After the tournament, it was all simple recovery training, and the atmosphere in the team was surprisingly good, and the haze of the previous heavy defeat to Chelsea was swept away.

During the lunch break, José opened the system panel again.

[Congratulations to the host on reaching the age of eighteen, and the series of quests on the Road of the Ball King has begun, come on. 】

After a burst of colorful special effects, 12 prizes were presented.

[Talent Essence*5, Skill Points*2, Mortal Equipment Ticket*4, Dietary Nutrients*100.] 】

The prizes are mediocre.
