After saving the opponent's penalty, the morale of the Villa team was greatly boosted.

In the end, in the second half, it was Ahmadi who scored from a free-kick.

Villa won 1-0 at home.

After two rounds of the Europa League group stage, the Villa team got 6 points and topped the group, and their qualification situation is very good.

October 6th.

Three days after the match against St. Gallen.

Premier League Round 7,

The Villa team are heading to Kingston Communications Stadium in Hull City.

Their opponents in this round are promoted Maher City.

In this game, the Villa team can be described as dominant.

Eighteen shots on goal were held to a 0-0 draw.

As well as failing to score a goal, Villa also failed to get a free-kick opportunity.

The only free-kick of the game was won by Hull City, and the result spoke for itself.

Jose was given a two-week recovery period after the match against Hull City.

During the international break, Jose, who did not have to participate in the training camp, chose to go back to school to listen to the lectures.

At school, Jose met quite a few new classmates.

As for Emma, José did not see her again.

I guess where to film.

José didn't care about that.

In addition to listening to lectures and learning, Jose also received many olive branches from the national team.

For the young goalkeepers who have withdrawn from the Chinese national football team and have unlimited talent potential, as long as they are not stupid, they will try their best to recruit them.

However, these invitations were rejected by Jose one by one.

Due to the relevant regulations of the football skilled immigration policy, Jose will not be able to catch up with the World Cup in 14 years anyway, since this is the case, Jose simply waits.

Two weeks later, the time came on October 20th.

The penultimate match of the eighth round of the English Premier League has begun.

Villa host Tottenham.

At present, the two teams are only 1 point apart in points, and the rankings are extremely similar.

Tottenham lost Gareth Bale but made a number of signings before the transfer window closed, plus last month's 4-0 Carabao Cup knockout of Villa.

So for this game, people have always thought that it will not be difficult for Tottenham to win, the only question is how many goals Tottenham can score.

Starting line-ups for both sides.

Villa were almost identical to their last game against St. Gallen, with the only change being Westwood getting a starting XI and Silas coming on the bench.

In addition, Benteke returned from injury and sat on the bench.

For Tottenham, Villas-Boas put in a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defenders: Will Henton, Kiri Kesh, Michael Dawson, Kyle Walker.

Two midfielders: Sandro, Paulinho.

Avant-garde: Siguldsson, Holtby, Townsend.

Center: Soldado.

Villa drew the first kick-off.

However, it was Tottenham who had the first shot on goal.

Kyle Walker crossed from the flank, and England international Townsend got the chance to shoot from the ground.

However, his shot was too angled and was easily saved by Jose.

Jose kicks in the goal kick with a big foot.

The ball was kicked near the centre circle and ended up at the feet of Weimann.

Unfortunately, in the end, Kozak's shot on goal also failed to threaten Lloris.

"You say, Lori or José, who is more powerful?"

"Do you need to ask? Lloris, of course, but he's a France international. ”

"Is the French international good? I think Jose is the stronger and he won the Golden Glove award last season at Villa, which is not easy. ”

'Villa's backline is very strong, their Vlaar is a solid horse.

……

While the fans were hotly discussing, the smell of gunpowder on the playing field began to thicken unconsciously.

Just ten minutes into the game, Westwood picked up the first yellow card of the game while defending Ver Hengton.

This detonated the emotions of the Villa fans in the stands, and the boos were deafening.

Subsequently, in the next game, the two sides became more and more intense, and the physical collision never stopped.

In the 15th minute, Vierhengton brought down Weimann on the wing, but the referee did not say anything.

Villa get a free-kick in front.

Unfortunately, Westwood's free-kick hit the wall and bounced off the other side.

Villa wasted that free-kick opportunity.

The number of fouls committed by both sides is increasing.

Jose calculated that in about 3 minutes, one of them would have committed a foul that would cause the game to be suspended.

In the 31st minute, Soldado passed.

The ball is at the feet of Townsend.

Townsend pushes on the wing.

Near the bottom line.

Townsend crosses after getting rid of Luna.

On the passing line, there were several players such as Soldado waiting for their chance to score.

José was so engrossed that he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

The ball flew over Soldado's head.

At this point, he was less than three yards from goal.

Extremely dangerous goal-scoring position.

Just as José was pondering whether to strike, Solda moved.

I saw Soldado jump high on the spot, ready to grab a header before everyone else.

"Time and space... Well. ”

Just as José was about to use the stunt, a bad premonition came over him.

"No, Soldado's header was a bluff, he didn't have any intention of topping the ball." José understood instantly.

Since Soldado does not intend to top the ball, the ball will fly to the top left corner of the goal in the same direction as it was originally flying.

"Almost fooled."

When José saw the ball pass over Soldado's head, José confirmed his suspicions.

"Time and space pause."

While performing his stunt, José pounced with all his might towards the left side of the goal.

"Soldado's cover is really thoughtful, and the average goalkeeper will inevitably be deceived by him." Said the on-site commentator.

However, I still have to praise Jose, the reaction was too fast, and when he found that something was wrong, he immediately turned his head and ran towards the back of the goal. It can be said that without Jose's reflexes, Villa would have fallen behind by one goal at this time. The live commentary was full of praise for José.

Thanks to José's timely response, the Villa team escaped.

After the game, Jose's goalmouth reaction was named the Premier League's best save of the month.

The game continues.

In the 38th minute, Paulinho received the second yellow card of the game while defending Kozak.

It's a pity that Ahmadi also didn't grasp the free kick this time.

Villa, lacking a reliable free-kick master.

Under normal circumstances, free-kicks are taken by a fixed player.

But not the Villa team, whether it's Abonlajo, Ahmadi, Westwood, or even Bacuna, when they come to a free-kick, they will kick it.

In the Villa team, Jose is the only one who rarely takes free-kicks.

However, what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, Jose's free kick skills are the strongest in the team.

In the first half, the two sides played 0-0.

Not only was the score tied, but the number of yellow cards, fouls, and even shots on goal was almost the same.

The only difference is that Tottenham have 69 per cent possession, well above Villa's 31 per cent.
