Chapter 134: It's too beautiful
Unfortunately, the ball flew too low.
Jose jumped straight into the air and plucked Insigne's shot out of the air.
"I'll go, this Villa goalkeeper has a great bounce."
"It seems that they are still Chinese, who will popularize science, when will there be Chinese players in the Premier League?"
"God, come out and watch the news, there are people here who don't even know Jose."
"He's Jose? I've heard the name, it turned out to be him. ”
…
Amid the fandom's chatter, Napoli had another chance to score.
At this point, the game had reached the 16th minute.
Maggio won the ball on the wing of the midfield and made a long pass to Villa in the ribs of the field.
Higuain got the first spot, and instead of stopping the ball, he headed it straight and headed it forward.
The ball went over Villa's backline and landed in front of the edge of the box.
At this time, Insigne successfully countered offside, took the first step from the left side and got the ball, directly forming a single knife against Jose.
In the face of Insigne's one-on-one shot, it is generally best to take the initiative and hit directly, but Jose did not do it, but remained in the penalty area.
Jose knew in his heart that if he attacked again at this time, the opponent would inevitably score a lob shot.
Seeing that Jose did not attack, Insigne dribbled directly into the penalty area.
From 10 yards on the edge of the six-yard box, Insigne finally came to a halt and opted for a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner.
"Time and space pause."
Seeing Insigne shoot, Jose did not hesitate and performed the first stunt of the game.
With 15 stunts to his name, he is very well prepared.
With a shot from 10 yards, the vast majority of goalkeepers didn't have time to react, except for Jose.
Although Benitez spent most of his season in charge of the Premier League last season and Chelsea met Villa three times, he only met Jose in the Carabao Cup final, so he has long forgotten how Jose is a man who is against the sky.
He woke up when he saw Jose blocking Insigne's shot in front of goal.
"Get closer to the goal." Benitez shouted at the Napoli player.
"Oh?" Higuain and the others nodded as if they didn't understand.
In this way, the Villa team escaped.
Napoli missed the lead.
…
The game continues.
Napoli's attacking coordination was extremely fluid.
Villa's players have a feeling of exhaustion, so there are quite a few mistakes.
In the 20th minute, Bertrand made a mistake near the corner kick on the bottom line, and the ball he cleared with a big foot forward was actually passed to the feet of Napoli player Inle.
Villa's half-time rib position.
In the face of the big gift that was given, Inle was not polite and passed directly into the HLD.
The ball reached Higuain's feet.
Higuain won the ball sideways and had no chance to shoot, so he decisively chose to cross to Insigne next to him.
Insigne got rid of the ball and got another chance to face Jose one-on-one.
José roared, and was about to strike in the direction of Insigne.
In desperation, Insigne hurriedly shot at goal, and the result was high.
It is difficult to say that Insigne was not influenced by José.
Sometimes, on the football field, it is not only about technical strength, but also about momentum.
The stronger side is naturally better psychologically, and it is more calm and calm when dealing with specific problems.
Therefore, José's roar completely overwhelmed Insigne in terms of momentum.
…
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
In the 31st minute, Villa had a good chance to score.
Bakuna passes the ball to the left front in the rib position.
The ball was passed to the unmarked Weymann.
Weimann burst into the left side of the Napoli penalty area with the ball and volleyed straight into the far corner when he faced the onrushing Reina.
The ball went past Reyna and then rolled into the net from the bottom right corner of the net.
Villa lead by 1 goal away from home.
"Whoa." In the stands of the Villa fans, there was warm applause and cheers.
Although there are not many fans who come to Napoli's home stadium with the team, the momentum is not weak at all.
One side scored first, which means that the promotion will be decided within 90 minutes.
Napoli fans are starting to get nervous.
Because of the away goal advantage, Napoli must score more than 2 goals to guarantee progress.
Jose started the game in which he conceded two goals in one game, but in that game, Villa won 4-2.
…
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
In the 49th minute, Benteke ran wildly with the ball in the middle.
From 25 yards out of the box, Benteke fired straight at goal.
The ball rolls into Reina's arms.
Benteke shot this time, too anxious.
In the 65th minute, Napoli won a free kick opportunity.
The penalty spot is in the rib position.
Higuain drove straight into the box.
The first drop was met by Vlaar and he headed straight out of the box.
The second drop was taken by Delph.
Delph didn't stop the ball and headed it straight to Benteke.
Benteke also did not stop the ball and instead headed it to Abonlaho on the wing.
Abang Lajo took the ball and pushed it through the midfield and, in the face of two Napoli players, he passed the ball to Benteke, who had already run in front.
Benteke took the ball all the way to the left side of the opponent's penalty area.
After a slight adjustment, Benteke picked up a cross in the middle of the penalty area.
From 11 yards in the Napoli box, Bacuna headed overhead.
Unfortunately, the angle was too positive, and the ball went directly into Reina's arms.
…
In the 78th minute, substitute Mertens crossed from the right side of the penalty area.
There was chaos in the Villa penalty area.
The ball touched Baker and Vlaar successively, but they failed to clear the penalty area.
In such a chaotic situation, Jose naturally could not attack rashly, so he could only stare at everyone in the penalty area, ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time.
In the end, it was still picked up by Higuain.
From 12 yards in the box, Higuain fired a direct half-volley past Baker's feet and towards the bottom right corner of the goal.
The ball was extremely fast, leaving only an afterimage in the box.
Seeing Higuain's shot, Jose finally started to attack.
I saw him move half a step quickly, and then with an extremely fast body, he pounced towards the route where the ball was flying.
In front of the goal line, Jose confiscated Higuain's shot with both hands, and there was not even the slightest sign of getting rid of it.
"Beautiful, the save from the Villa goalkeeper was so beautiful." The Italian commentator at the scene couldn't help but say this.
"Jose, 18 years old, a Chinese national player, came through the Villa academy, currently belongs to Chelsea, winner of the Premier League Golden Glove Award in the 12/13 season, and has never conceded more than two goals in a game since his debut." The commentator counted Jose's information, and the more he talked, the more cold it made the Napoli fans at the scene feel cold.
Now that Villa are one goal ahead, Napoli will have to score two or more goals if they want to advance.
So Benitez's dream of leading the team to the Europa League final for two consecutive seasons is halfway over?
The game continues.
Villa's players seem to feel that there is only one goal and it is not safe, so Villa's attack has not diminished.
