The game continues.

Liverpool is anti-guest and has formed a siege.

"Come on, Kuniao."

Unexpectedly, Coutinho was supported by Reds fans so quickly.

Shortly after the fan's message, Coutinho had a shot on goal.

Enrique's pass.

From the edge of the box, Coutinho volleyed in half.

The ball flew past Villa's backline and towards goal.

José pounced with all his might in the direction of the ball's flight path.

However, Jose didn't save on the ball.

"Well, plop up? There's no reason for that. Jose hurriedly looked inside the goal.

And no goals were scored.

It turned out that Ku Bird's shot was deflected in the direction of the goal.

José was shocked into a cold sweat.

This season, José began to consciously try not to use stunts as much as possible in order to further improve himself.

He knew very well that relying too much on stunts, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to get to the top of the world.

"Haha, Ku Bird is just amazing, just a random shot, and the Villa goalkeeper was scared to the point that his face changed."

"Looking forward to the Kuniao killing all sides."

The words of the Reds fans, Jose naturally can't hear.

In the 21st minute, Liverpool played a wonderful combination.

Enrique wins the ball on the wing.

On the left side of the Villa penalty area, Lowton blocks it.

However, it can't be blocked at all.

Enrique flicked off Lowton with ease and crossed.

Near the middle of the penalty area, Coutinho is already ambushed there.

The ball got past Vlaar and rolled to Coutinho's feet, where he could shoot straight at goal.

Jose was ready to make a block, but it was a strong uneasiness that made him stop the attack.

Sure enough, unexpectedly, Coutinho didn't choose to volley, but let the ball slip straight under his feet.

The ball went to Sturridge on the other side.

Luna intercepts Sturridge.

However, it couldn't be stopped at all, and it was easily shaken by Sturridge.

Sturridge, who had passed Luna, didn't seem satisfied, and he wanted to get past Jose.

Last season, Jose burst onto the scene and won the Golden Glove Award in the end.

After the end of the season, the Premier League teams began to study Jose in depth.

They found that José's judgment and explosiveness were extraordinary.

Last season, Jose barely made any errors in judgment.

And long-range shots were equally ineffective against him.

The only effective way to do this is to shoot from close range within five yards, or in the case of set-pieces, arrange for players to interfere with it.

Of course, Jose's technical shortcomings in poor ball control have also been dug up.

It's not uncommon for goalkeepers to be poor on the ball, so most people don't treat it as a target.

However, Sturridge's thinking is different, and he believes that Jose, who is not good at handling the ball, should also be good at tackles.

He's going to dribble past Jose.

Indeed, it is naturally impossible to let Jose intercept the ball like a defender.

However, this is a no-go zone.

It was a forbidden area ruled by Jose.

In the penalty area, Jose can use his hands.

So, the result was already doomed, Sturridge was cut off by Jose.

"Sturridge is really alone, and he wasted all such good opportunities."

"The British Emperor stars are like this, everyone thinks they are superstars."

Gerald said no.

"Lan 8 means that he can only score goals."

Liverpool missed their best chance to score.

In the second half, the Villa team completely controlled the tempo of the game, but the final blow was far from it.

In the end, the focus of the battle, the two sides played 0-0.

Villa had a total of 17 shots on goal but only three shots on target and failed to score.

Liverpool, on the other hand, had only five shots on goal and only one shot on target.

Although Liverpool only had five shots on goal, Jose was not at all easy, and he spent most of his time reminding his team-mates at the back to pay attention to the man-to-man defence.

……

The summer transfer period is coming to an end.

Bale spent a summer on soap operas and eventually went to Real Madrid, where he paid a whopping £90.9 million.

Tottenham, which received a large transfer fee, began to sweep frantically at the last moment, and a number of strong reinforcements joined.

It is foreseeable that Tottenham will inevitably be a big opponent for Villa in the race for the top four.

In addition, Arsenal also got Mesut Ozil.

It's just that a few years later, Ozil regretted this transfer more or less.

The transfer has little to do with Jose, no matter what kind of opponent he is, he is not afraid.

Three days later, Wednesday, August 28.

The new season kicks off in the EFL Cup, with Villa hosting Rotherham United from the Championship.

Guzan reincarnated.

As a result, the Villa team won 3-0.

Weimann, Benteke and Delph scored successively.

Guzan didn't threaten too much, and after watching Jose play for a long time, his saving ability has unconsciously improved a lot.

After the EFL Cup match, Jose asked the manager for a two-day holiday.

With the third round of Premier League fixtures at the end of the week already played early, Villa are out of action this weekend and their next game is not until 14 September.

So Paul Lambert agreed to José's vacation.

After getting the holiday, José left for London as soon as possible, and he was joined by Grealish.

"Shaker, are you sure you're going to Notts County?" On the way, José asked Grealish.

"Hmm." Grealish nodded.

"It's okay, although it's only an abnormal league in the fifth level, it's better than staying in the team and not even being in the squad." Jose said.

"I want to go to Championship and League One too, but people don't want me." Grealish said helplessly.

"That's when they don't know the goods, and when you become the transfer target that day, that's when you slap them."

"Haha, I like what you say." Grealish was amused by José.

"To celebrate that someone finally wants me, you should treat me to a drink." José's offer to drink was definitely deliberate, because in ten days or so, Grealish would be eighteen years old.

"Don't drink, please drink coffee." Grealish was too clever to see José's thoughts and immediately refuse.

"Stingy."

……

When they arrived in the London area, Jose and the two did not go to Asuka Saito, but went to the University of London.

Jose came to inspect the surroundings of the school in advance.

José was so interested in enrolling in UCL that, to his surprise, UCL rejected him.

The reason for rejecting him was not that he did not have enough grades, but that there was no teaching arrangement for the players at UCL.

When José received a rejection notice from University College London, he almost went black.

Full of hope, the bamboo basket was empty.

Just when José thought his education was over, he received an offer from the University of Oxford.

The University of Oxford is located between Birmingham and London, and the time required to travel from Birmingham to London is almost the same.

That way, José can play at Villa or back at Chelsea.

When Jose decided on a university school, the draw for the group stage of the Europa League came out.
