Chapter 122: God-level save
Before the game, no one was expecting Villa to win.
The spinach company even offered high water odds to make a goal.
St. Mary's Stadium, at 8:45 p.m. local time, the sky suddenly rained heavily, and the temperature at this time was only 1~7 degrees.
Villa were given the first kick-off.
Unfortunately, their first wave of attacks failed to penetrate deep into the opposition's hinterland.
Possession soon reached Southampton.
The first shot of the game was on goal by Jay Rodriguez.
Lallana passes.
Rodriguez swoops in from the left edge of the penalty area.
Vlaar and Baker didn't have time to block.
The ball flew towards the near corner of the goal.
Just when the ball is about to reach the goal line.
José leaped into the air like a fish out of the water and took Rodriguez's shot with both hands.
At this point, the game was just over 3 minutes.
Villa's counter-attack still failed to get past the opposition half.
Southampton were completely crushing, holding the Villa team firmly in the half.
The first three shots on goal were all completed by Southampton players.
Although the heavy rain and cold weather were uncomfortable, Jose made three perfect saves.
In the Huaxia live chat room, there are very few fans who are still watching the game at this time.
After all, it was more than 4 o'clock in the evening, and the weather had turned cold, and the quilt was the best destination.
In the blink of an eye, the game had come to the 15th minute.
Jose takes the ball in the box.
God's perspective opens.
An offensive line was seen in an instant.
Jose passes the ball and the ball goes to Delph's feet.
"Gabriel." After the ball was passed, Jose pointed his finger in the direction of Abonlaho at the same time.
Delph immediately understood.
He saw the gap in front of Abang Laho.
Delph passes.
The ball is at the feet of Abang Laho.
Lovren was the first to rush to Abang Laho.
Facing Lovren, Abonlahor smashes the ball lightly at his feet.
He passed Lovren.
Abang Laho instantly formed a single knife momentum.
Facing Gasaniga, Abang Lajo opted to shoot into the far corner.
The ball went in.
Villa's first shot on goal was the first goal.
Abang Lajo raised his hand towards Delph in thanks.
Delph pointed at Jose, meaning that Jose had told him how to pass the ball.
Abang Lajo immediately thanked José.
José just smiled.
He was glad that God's perspective could still be used in this way.
The game continues.
Playing away from home and leading by one goal, the Villa team simply gave up possession.
In the 38th minute, Prowse was substituted due to injury, and Jose was unable to play more with the free-kick maestro who would become famous.
The score was 1-0 until the end of the first half.
Live chat room.
"Luke Shaw is a very good little demon, I feel that he is very suitable for my demon."
"Why don't you say Jose is a good fit for you?"
'We have De Gea and we don't need Jose.
"De Gea is really good, Spaniard, very suitable for my emperor."
In the second half, it was easy to play again.
In the 48th minute, Southampton had an equaliser.
Cullein broke down the flank and made his way to the right side of the Villa penalty area.
Luna intercepts it.
However, instead of stopping, Klein was allowed to complete a high cross.
The ball went over the crowd and landed within 12 yards of the box.
Vlar, Baker, Clark and others all missed the first drop.
It was Jay Rodriguez who grabbed the first spot.
Rodriguez jumped high and slammed his header on the ball.
The ball immediately turned and blasted towards the bottom left corner of the goal at great speed.
At this time, Jose was still in the direction of the goal to the right.
"Good shot."
"Dangerous."
Fans on both sides screamed at the same time.
Just when fans on both sides thought that Rodriguez would score this goal, Jose arrived.
In full view, Jose rushed to the left side of the goal in just a few tenths of seconds and made an accurate save.
"God-level save."
"It's too fast."
"Jose 666"
"My husband is mighty."
In the chat room, the barrage flies.
Jose was deeply relieved to save Rodriguez's header.
The game continued, and Southampton continued to attack.
In the 58th minute, Southampton had another good chance to equalise.
Substitute Jose Fonte crosses from the right.
The ball flew over the box and landed on the edge of the six-yard box at the back post.
Southampton striker Lambert was ambushing there at the moment.
Jose moved to the left as soon as he needed to block Lambert's shot.
However, Lambert did not opt to attack the goal.
He opted for a header to be flicked to the right side of the six-yard box.
Five yards from the right side of the penalty area, substitute Osvado has already arrived.
In the face of Lambert's header, Osvado did not waste it and went straight to the goal with a header.
It's just too close.
Even if Jose uses stunts, it will be difficult for him to catch up.
Southampton equalised.
"Haha, I was happy to see Jose's face when he was scored."
“???”
The home side equalised and the Southampton fans looked excited.
Singing and shouting continued to come from the Villa fans' stands.
The centre circle is re-kicked.
It's a pity that Villa's scramble in the midfield can't compete with the other party at all.
Southampton were on goal again.
It's just that this time it failed to threaten José.
The stats show that Southampton had 14 shots on goal at this point, while Villa had just three.
In the 64th minute, Jose took a goal kick.
Straight to the wing, the ball was passed to Ahmadi's feet.
Ahmadi pushed forward from the side and in the blink of an eye he was on the right side of the opposition penalty area.
In the face of Luke Shaw's interception, Ahmadi dipped the opponent.
At this time, Luke Shaw was still too young after all.
Ahmadi crosses from the edge and the ball goes into the opponent's small penalty area.
At the same time, Kozak burst out of the crowd.
Header to the top.
The ball went in.
Villa are leading again.
Once again, Southampton attacked frantically, hoping for another equaliser and then a comeback victory.
It's just that the backline led by Jose never gave Southampton any chance again.
Instead, it was the Villa team, in the 80th minute, who had the opportunity to extend the score.
Abang Lajo advances with the ball.
With a one-goal lead, Abang Lajo appeared to be very patient.
Just as Abang Lajo was looking for a breakthrough, he took aim at Delph, who was plugged in behind.
Pass the ball decisively.
From 25 yards outside the penalty area, Delph took the ball and fired a left-footed volley.
The ball turned into a streamer of light and flew towards the top left corner of the goal.
Gasaniga tried his best, but he couldn't even touch the ball.
The ball went in.
"The maiden, this is Delph's maiden goal." The on-site narrator screamed.
Delph, who debuted at Leeds United in '08, finally scored his first Premier League goal today, and his excitement can be imagined.
In the end, Villa won 3-1 away at Southampton.
Mauricio Pochettino's side still have work to do.
Next, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Villa will go to Craven Cottage to challenge Fulham, who are fighting for relegation.
