Just when fans thought Villa were ready to launch a counter-attack and try to equalise, City launched an even more ferocious attack.

Manchester City seem to want to prove to the world that attacking is the best defence.

In this moment, Manchester City really proved it.

In the end, Manchester City walked away with three points with a goal.

At this point, all 28 rounds of the Premier League have ended.

Manchester City still retain their title hopes, but with only a 12-point gap, it is unlikely that there will be any surprise results unless the FA helps them on the field.

Villa lost, the points and standings remained unchanged, except that their distance from the top four became six points.

With 10 rounds left in the league, every game becomes crucial.

Jose was a little reluctant to get past City, but he didn't think too much about it, and he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could save all his shots.

…

According to the schedule, Villa's next opponent should not be underestimated.

In the 29th round, they will travel to the Madeischi Stadium to take on Reading away.

Reading team 28 rounds, 5 wins, 8 draws, 15 losses, 23 points ranked second from the bottom, their offensive ability is not bad, even more than the Villa team by ten, but their defensive ability is too poor, the number of goals conceded is only one less than Wigan Athletic.

In the 30th round, Villa will face vice-president Queens Park Rangers at home.

The team that fought until the last minute last season and almost stopped Manchester City from winning the title has completely sunk this season.

After 28 rounds, QPR only got 3 wins, 11 draws, 14 losses, and 20 points, ranking at the bottom. In addition to their poor defense, their attacking ability is the worst in the Premier League, and they have scored fewer goals than the Villa team.

Villa and Stoke City are currently the second-fewest teams in the league, thanks to Benteke's superb performance.

So, without Jose's super play, Villa would be a proper bottom team,

…

On March 9, at 4 p.m. local time, the game between Reading and Villa officially began.

Reading were very active from the start of the game, but were unable to threaten Jose's goal.

Instead, in the 33rd minute, the Villa team had a quick counter-attack.

Westwood crossed from the wing and the ball found its way to Weimann.

Weimann pushed forward quickly, attracting some of the opposing players to move closer to him.

Weimann was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he was on the right side of the Reading penalty area, glanced around, and saw that Benteke was about to burst into the opponent's penalty area, and he decisively chose to cross.

The unguarded Benteke swept a left-footed shot from 10 yards out in the box and the ball was immediately veered towards goal.

The ball went in.

Villa have a one-goal lead away from home.

The game continues.

At half-time, Villa scored again.

N'Zogbia took a corner and Lowton grabbed the first spot.

However, instead of going straight to goal, Lowton headed the ball to the other side of the goal, where it landed at the feet of team-mate Bannan.

Bannan didn't make any adjustments and shot straight at goal.

Unfortunately, Bannan's shot hit the left post.

Just when the Villa fans were disappointed, Abonlaho stepped up and grabbed the ball that bounced off the centre post.

In the six-yard box, Abonlaho didn't miss a chance as he volleyed straight home.

Villa led by two goals.

In the second half, Reading went on a frantic attack.

In stoppage time, Reading's cross caused Baker to make a mistake and the ball was swept into his own home.

Own goal.

Baker's own goal was too close to goal and Jose wanted to make a save, but it was too late.

In this way, Villa won the game, while Jose lost a clean sheet reward.

In this regard, Jose could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

However, if the team can win, he doesn't care.

With Arsenal's draw with Everton, Villa surpassed Arsenal on points and moved up to fifth in the table.

At the same time, because of Tottenham's loss, the gap between Villa and the top four was narrowed to 5 points, and they are getting closer and closer to the Champions League qualification.

Therefore, there is no room for loss in the next game.

……

A week later, March 16th.

Villa's home game against QPR has officially begun.

This game can be described as a twist and turn.

First of all, just 20 minutes into the game, Nathan Baker went off injured and was replaced by Bennett.

Then in the 23rd minute, QPR player Mbia scored directly with a free kick.

The "God's perspective", which José has always relied on, has a fatal deviation because the angle of view of the video does not guarantee that what is seen is accurate.

Improving the "God's Perspective" was put on Jose's agenda, but unfortunately he hadn't saved up enough talent essence.

In stoppage time of the half, Lowton crossed from the flank and Abonlaho stepped up to equalise for Villa.

In the second half, it was easy to play again.

In the 59th minute, Bennett and Weimann passed the ball in the penalty area, and Weiman successfully pushed the goal.

Villa overtook the score 2-1, and Villa's victory was in sight.

However, it is not that simple.

In the 73rd minute, former Manchester United star Park Ji-sung took a corner kick.

In the confusion, José's sortie route was blocked.

QPR striker Townsend received a corner kick from Park Ji-sung and headed it in from five yards out, but Jose was too late to save even if he used a stunt.

A second, in fact, is very short.

The two sides are back on the same starting line again.

In the 81st minute, Benteke and Weimann, who worked together tacitly, created a miracle again.

In the QPR penalty area, Weimann assisted Benteke to score.

In the end, Villa won at home and their points rose again.

With Tottenham losing again in this round of fixtures, Villa are just two points away from the top four and just one step away from Champions League qualification.

Although the Villa team won both games, its thrilling process made Jose truly understand that the willpower of the relegation team should not be underestimated.

…

After the match against QPR, it was time for the international break.

Paul Lambert announced a one-week holiday for the entire team, giving everyone but those who need to play for the national team free time.

Jose still hasn't received a call-up to the national team, and he's starting to get used to it.

Although there were sporadic statements in Huaxia questioning why José, a young genius, was not recruited, it was too small to have any substantive effect.

His parents had already returned to China, so Grealish, the little prince of nightclubs, proposed to go to London to play together.

To this, José did not refuse.

In London, he met Asuka Saito again.

After not seeing each other for many days, the Saito Asuka became more and more cute.

Inside the bar, José drank Japanese sake for the first time, much to the envy of Grealish, who was under 18 years old.

José had been living in the bar for those days, and as for whether anything super-friendly had happened, José didn't tell the author, so ...... (10,000 words omitted here)

……

The holidays went by quickly, and when all his team-mates had returned, Jose and the team were ready to prepare for the game against Liverpool.

This season, Liverpool, under the leadership of Brendan Rodgers, are currently in eighth place, and the results are very unsatisfactory.

But even so, Liverpool, the Reds with Gerrard, Suarez, Carragher and others, is still not something the Villa team can underestimate.
