In the blink of an eye, the first half of the game has come to an end.

Manchester United's attacking chances.

Shinji Kagawa passes the ball directly into the Villa penalty area.

On the left side of the penalty area, Juan Mata takes the ball.

Just as Mata was about to make the next move, Bacuna flew to make a tackle.

As a result, the ball did not touch, but Mata was brought down.

Yellow Dot Package.

Bakuna got the Topaz card.

Manchester United were awarded a penalty.

Wayne Rooney was in charge of the penalty.

José was a little speechless.

Although he has a high success rate of saving penalties, it comes at a price.

With five days to go until the first leg against Sevilla, Jose will need to allocate the relevant resources.

But for now, José can only cope.

Rooney opted to volley directly into the bottom left corner.

If the ball is moving at high speed, even if the goalkeeper judges the right direction, there is a high probability that it will not be able to make a save.

Jose ended up consuming a number of cheats.

At the end of the first half, it was the away Villa team that took the lead.

Words such as "Moyes get out" permeate the entire Theater of Dreams at all times.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

David Moyes made the first substitution.

Carrick came off the bench and was replaced by the card-playing Rafael.

In the 50th minute, Villa's counterattack.

Westwood passed the ball straight into the six-yard box.

Benteke stopped the ball, but unfortunately it was too big.

When Benteke tried to control the ball again and prepare to shoot, Carrick arrived just in time to kick the ball off the line.

Villa's corner.

Unfortunately, the threat was not great, and it was directly confiscated by De Gea.

In the 57th minute, United had another good chance to equalise.

Fellaini dribbles the ball outside the box.

At this time, a number of red-clad players entered the Villa penalty area, causing chaos in the penalty area.

Even if José had God's perspective, he couldn't see all of them.

Fellaini passes the ball straight into the box.

He wanted to pass to Wayne Rooney, but Rooney had at least two Villa players around him to defend him.

The ball was deflected several times in the box and was eventually blocked.

Too late, too soon, Mata struck in the chaos and took control of the ball before anyone else.

From 11 yards out in the box, Juan Mata fired a low shot into the bottom right corner.

The ball was like a delicate scalpel, tearing through the chaotic crowd before leapfrogging through the tight gap and flying low towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

"Good shot." The on-site commentator shouted excitedly.

Under normal circumstances, an 11-yard shot is not enough to be impressive.

And the reason why Mata's shot was amazing was that the ball pierced the chaotic crowd in the box.

At this point, José's vision was severely obstructed, and from his position, it was impossible for him to see Mata's shot path at all.

Luckily, José has a God perspective.

From God's point of view, José judged Mata's path of shooting.

"Hungry tigers pounce on food."

José kicked his feet and threw himself towards the right side of the goal.

Under normal circumstances, most of the downward speed of people is affected by gravity, so it is basically difficult to increase the speed of saving.

But Jose is different, his hungry tiger pounces on food, which can actually allow him to accelerate on his own when he is doing downward movements.

When Jose made an all-out save into the bottom right corner, Mata's shot was just there.

José quickly reached out his hands and grabbed the ball in motion.

Mata's shot was really fine, but it wasn't power-based, so Jose didn't have much difficulty intercepting it.

"God, Jose's save, it's really God."

"Alas, since Villa owned Jose, they are no longer the Red Devils' point boys."

"It's okay, next season, Jose is leaving Villa."

"He just left Villa, not the Premier League, and you're still having a hard time."

"Miss Lord Fro, Moyes fuck off."

…

The chat room was bustling.

The game continues.

In the 64th minute, Bertrand fouled Ashley Young and received his fourth yellow card of the game.

United couldn't get on the back of the game for a long time, and David Moyes started to make substitutions.

Januzaj came off the bench and was replaced by Shinji Kagawa.

In the 69th minute, Manchester United counterattacked.

Butna passes the ball wide and the ball reaches Januzaj.

Januzaj took the ball and forced a breakthrough to pass three players in a row.

From 12 yards in the penalty area, Januzaj fired hard.

The ball is so fast that it looks like it's going to cross the goal line.

However, José was prepared.

When Januzaj got past the second Villa player, Jose had already anticipated that he might burst into the box and hit the back of the net.

So when Januzaj shot at the goal, Jose caught the opponent's shot line and began to move.

Jose flickered and then sat down quickly and flickered his left foot towards the post to deflect Januzaj's shot in front of the line.

Wayne Rooney wants to shoot in front of goal.

But how could Jose possibly give him a chance?

Without getting up at all, Jose's body lunged forward, and the ball that bounced directly bounced was pressed to the ground with both hands.

Jose again defused the opposition's shot.

Goal kick is taken.

Villa's quick counter-attack.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to advance into the United penalty area.

Instead, it gave Manchester United another chance to hit back quickly.

The ball came and went, and it was only a dozen seconds.

However, Rooney's final shot still failed to threaten Jose.

In the 80th minute, Moyes continued to make substitutions.

Pea Hernandez came off the bench and was replaced by Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

The game was still in a stalemate, and although United had a lot of shots on goal, it was always difficult to threaten Jose's goal.

Stoppage time.

Manchester United launched a frenzied attack.

Januzaj broke down the flank, shook off Bakuna's interception and crossed.

At this time, as many as three Red Devils players were ambushed in the Villa penalty area.

Meanwhile, Pea, who came off the bench, quickly roamed around the box, and neither Vlaar nor Clarke could keep a close eye on him.

"It seems that I still have to rely on myself." Jose said secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, Januzaj's pass was picked up by Hernandez.

In the small penalty area, the little pea shot directly, although the ball speed is not too fast, but the distance is too close.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the goalkeeper to make a successful save for this kind of ultra-close shot, because the distance left for the goalkeeper to react is too short.

Thankfully, José noticed the little pea in advance.

Therefore, when the little pea stretched out his foot pad to shoot, Jose roughly judged the possible direction of the shot according to the angle of the opponent's foot extension.

It's unbelievable that José was right.

On the goal line, Jose caught the pad shot of the little pea with both hands.

The Villas escaped.

At this point, halfway through stoppage time.

Jose delayed his serve.

As a result, the referee showed him the Topaz card.

Goal kick is taken.

Drive straight to the midfield.

In cases where there is less than a minute left, this is the safest thing to do.

In the battle for midfield, in the end, Manchester United is superior.

Fletcher grabbed possession.

Manchester United's attack.

There is less than a minute left in the game.

The reason why Manchester United is called the Red Devils is because there is a magic that will not give up until the last minute.

According to incomplete statistics, Manchester United was the team with the most comebacks or equalisers in injury time.

Because of this characteristic, fans often refer to Manchester United's injury time as Ferguson time.

Fletcher went straight to Mata.

In the face of Villa's dense defence, only Mata's pass can find that slightest passing route.

At the top of the gourd, Juan Mata picked up the ball and glanced at Villa in the box.

At this time, Jose was watching everything inside and outside the penalty area with full attention.

For some reason, Jose always had a bad feeling.

Juan Mata passes.

It went straight to the right side of the small penalty area.

There are no players there at all.

Juan Mata's pass error?

Apparently impossible.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared.

Burst into the small penalty area at breakneck speed.

This sudden figure is the little pea who came on as a substitute.

Before everyone else, Little Pea got the ball first.

From 5 yards on the right side of the goal, Little Pea fired a powerful right-footed shot.

Jose tried his best, and although his fingers touched the ball, he couldn't stop it from flying into the goal.

In the last minute, United equalised.

In both goals of the game, both goalkeepers touched the ball, but both barely managed to prevent the ball from flying into the back of the net.

In the end, the two sides drew 1-1.

The shouts of "Moyes get out" grew louder and louder.

……

After the match against Manchester United, the Villa team took a day off.

With two games in a row for a week, Villa's players really need to relax.

Since the next day is a Sunday, there are no classes at the school.

José chose to drive to London.

For some reason, the feeling of Asuka Saito has changed in recent times.

It is no longer as lively and cheerful as it used to be.

When the two are on video calls, Asuka Saito always gives people a faint sense of sadness.

It was as if there was something in my heart that I wanted to say, but in the end I didn't say anything.

For Asuka Saito, Jose does not see her as a lover, but he is also one of his best friends.

The other party has something on his mind, and Jose naturally can't pretend to be nothing.

After arriving in London, José called Asuka and told her that he was waiting for her outside the bar.

José didn't go directly to the bar to pick up people, so he naturally had his considerations.

After waiting for a long time, the figure of Asuka Saito finally appeared.

Today, she has obviously been carefully dressed.

Wearing a light blue dress, delicate and elegant makeup, and slightly curly long black hair, in addition to giving people a lazy feeling, there is a touch of maturity.

Jose then remembered that Asuka Saito was about to turn 16.

Before that, Asuka Saito could be called a girl, but once she reached the age of 16, she began to take steps towards a woman.

"He, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Asuka blushed and said apologetically.

"It's okay, just for a moment." Jose knows very well that in the face of a woman, even if the other party really makes him wait for a long time, he has to pretend that it is not long.

"Are you going to take me somewhere today?" Asuka asked as he got into the car.

"Yes, I'll take you shopping today." José replied as he started the car.
