Chapter 146: Battle of Seville (3000 words)
Bittolo's shot went straight high and failed to threaten Jose either.
The opponent is like a rainbow, and Jose knows in his heart that he must deal with it carefully.
After all the players were out of the box, Jose kicked the goal kick with a big kick.
Unfortunately, after a battle in midfield, possession still fell to Sevilla.
Baca combined with Bitolo on the left.
Bakuna faced the two and was difficult to parry.
The ball is at the feet of Bacca. Shaking off Bacuna, Baca burst into the Villa penalty area with the ball.
Seeing that Baca was about to shoot with his feet, in a hurry, Bakuna went directly up to force it.
Just as Bacuna was about to reach out and poke the ball away, Baca fell to the ground.
"Beep, beep~" The referee's whistle sounded.
At this point, the game had just reached the 5th minute.
"I just touched him lightly." Bakuna immediately explained to the referee.
"You said you ran into him, do you need me to explain? It's not the Premier League. The referee asked Bakuna.
"Uhhhhhh
"It's okay, leave it to me." José knew that Bakuna could not be blamed for this, so he spoke.
"I'm sorry." Bakuna said with a look of shame.
Villa were awarded a penalty and the home fans rose to their feet.
I have to say that Sevilla's team song is still very good.
Live chat room.
"Haha, this Vera No. 7 is so stupid, he thought it was a rough game."
"That's the case, the British team, except for fighting for the body, there is no skill at all."
…
Just when the fans were complaining about Bakuna, Sevilla sent the player in charge of the penalty - Rakitic.
"I heard you're good at saving penalties?" Rakitic asked José.
"You will soon find out about this problem." José replied.
"Which direction do you think I'm going to kick?" Rakitic saw that José was not fooled, so he asked again.
"As long as it's in the goal, I can handle it. You don't want to kick outside the goal, do you? Instead of answering Rakitic's question, José asked.
"Beep~"
Just as Rakitic was about to say something more, the referee's whistle blew.
Rakitic stopped talking, he was going to take the penalty.
Jose doesn't know much about Rakitic, only that he is the core of Sevilla's midfield, his vision is very broad, and passing and heading are one of his strengths, as for set-pieces, it is one of his strengths.
Penalties are also set-pieces.
So, despite pretending to be casual on the surface, deep down, José has already focused all his attention on this opponent.
Jose is on the lookout, but isn't Rakitic?
As the heart of Sevilla, he had studied the main players of the Villa team before the game.
What shocked him was the natural strength that Jose had shown.
From the published information, José gave Rakitic much more shock than Courtois.
Standing in front of the penalty spot, Rakitic looked in the direction of the goal and he noticed that Jose was different from the other goalkeepers.
Generally, when the goalkeeper faces a penalty, he will shake his body from side to side to confuse the choice of the penalty taker.
But José was different, just standing quietly on the goal line, then half-bent over and looking at Rakitic with a sharp gaze.
José doesn't seem to be worried at all about being fooled by Rakitic's feints?
"No, it can't be." Rakitic quickly emptied his brain, not daring to wonder why José was acting the way he did.
Taking a deep breath, Rakitic began to slowly run towards 12 yards.
Without any pause, he hit the goal with his right foot.
"Spoon penalty?"
God-level prediction response, Jose already knew the other party's choice, and couldn't help but show a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although Rakitic's movements and momentum are extremely deceptive, under the god-level prediction, he can't deceive Jose at all.
A player who dares to take a spoon in a penalty is not a superstar.
Under normal circumstances, when the goalkeeper is faced with a penalty kick and cannot judge the direction of the opponent's shot, he will randomly choose one side to make a save.
And the spoon penalty, no matter which direction the goalkeeper chooses, will be saved, which is the advantage of the spoon penalty.
The disadvantage of spoon penalties is that they are easy to fly and easy to save after being caught in the direction.
Now that he knew that Rakitic had opted for a spoon penalty, Jose simply stayed put.
"This is the goalkeeper for Villa? Standing still like a fool in the face of a penalty? ”
"It's just unresponsive."
"Damn, the Villa goalkeeper stood still and Rakitic chose to take the spoon penalty."
"Speechless, this Villa goalkeeper is too lucky, right?"
…
Yes, under the gaze of fans all over the world, Jose just raised his hands on the spot and easily confiscated Rakitic's spoon penalty.
Jose's move didn't even give his opponent a chance to make a follow-up shot.
"You..." Rakitic was annoyed for a moment when he saw Jose standing there and easily confiscated his penalty.
"Shit, I knew I could kick in any direction." Rakitic muttered in annoyance.
"Jose, thank you." Bacuna walked over and hugged José.
…
The game continues.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 minutes had passed.
Although Sevilla's attack was fierce, Villa's defense, under Jose's scheduling, was tightly knit and did not give the opponent a real chance at all.
The scene became very stale.
In the 26th minute, Sevilla attacked again.
Villa Hoist is outside the top and Rakitic has the ball at his feet.
Just as the Villa players were about to scramble, Rakitic suddenly made a long pass with a big foot.
The ball was passed straight into the box.
The direction in which the ball landed, where Baca was ambushing.
As a result, Villa's double-layered defense line was suddenly in vain.
Jose was ready to block Baca as soon as possible.
Just as José had just taken half a step, he caught a glimpse of Bitolo on the other side.
A possibility instantly popped into José's mind.
He stopped himself and instead gathered momentum in the direction of Bitolo.
Sure enough, as expected by Hosai, Baca received a pass from Rakitic and did not choose to attack, but instead headed the ball to Bitolo.
The opponent quickly shifted the offensive line, obviously trying to catch Jose off guard.
Jose didn't hesitate and immediately started to block Bitolo's shot angle.
Bitolo received a pass from Baca and fired a left-footed volley into the far corner.
The near-corner direction has been blocked by Jose, and he really doesn't have the confidence to cross Jose.
In the face of Bitolo's shot, Jose decisively took a half-step out and jumped high at the same time.
Under the watchful eyes of the global fans, José blocked Bitolo's shot halfway.
"Shit~" Bitolo shouted unwillingly.
The game continues.
Sevilla is on the offensive.
Just 3 minutes later.
Sevilla have another great chance.
Rakitic broke through with the ball and burst into the left side of the box with the help of two Villa players.
Near the baseline, Rakitic first shook off Baker and then passed back into the middle of the box.
At 12 yards, Baca got on the end of Rakitic's pass.
Without making adjustments, it will shoot directly into the lower right corner.
At this time, Jose was in the left position in front of goal.
He was still 3 metres away from Bacca's shot.
The time required for a shot from 12 yards was only a few tenths of a fifth second.
In such a short period of time, if you want to cross a distance of 3 meters, a normal person can only complete it when sprinting.
"Time and space pause."
José didn't hesitate to use the plug-in stunt.
With that added second, José had plenty of time to react.
When the space resumed, one could only see Jose rushing to the right side of the goal with a sprint speed, within a few tenths of a second.
Then he gracefully extended his left foot and intercepted Baka's shot directly from the goal line.
"You're amazing." Baca gave José a slick thumbs up.
"You have to work hard to break down the goal I'm guarding." José smiled back.
In the end, the battle ended 0-0 in the first half.
In particular, it needs to be mentioned.
In the 32nd minute.
Sevilla had a dispute with Abang Lajo.
In the end, the referee each played 50 boards, and both of them got a topaz card.
Intermission.
Live chat room.
"The British team is rough, they have already received three yellow cards in the first half, and the only defensive skill is to put tackles."
"That's it, that's it, when they meet me, they don't think they can touch the ball."
"Yes, yes, you're stupid as Team Universe."
"If the Premier League is not a big internal friction, it will be your turn to be powerful?"
"Mantissa 9527 big brother, why do you want to compete with Xibui, let them laugh at themselves, within ten years, the Premier League will inevitably surpass La Liga."
…
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Paul Lambert was the first substitution.
Clark came off the bench to replace Ahmadi.
After Clarke's debut, Abonlaho and Weimann moved back, leaving Benteke alone.
In addition, Bertrand and Bakuna moved forward.
As a result, Villa's formation became 361.
With six midfielders chasing and intercepting, Rakitic could no longer be as comfortable as he was in the first half.
Originally, Lambert just wanted to increase the defensive depth of the midfield, but unexpectedly found that Villa's chances began to increase.
In the 54th minute, Villa's attacking chance.
Weimann takes the ball on the left and advances.
Soon, it was near the corner flag.
Cork makes a one-on-one interception on Weimann.
A scene that surprised La Liga fans happened.
Cork, who claims to be technology-oriented, was unexpectedly detained by Weiman, who was technically rough in their mouths.
It was seen that Weimann was about to burst into the left side of the penalty area.
In a hurry, Cork directly pushed Wei Man in front of him.
Pushed by Koke, Weiman immediately lost his center of gravity and fell in the penalty area.
"Beep, beep~" Two whistles sounded.
The referee was standing not far away, and the scene in front of him was clearly visible.
I saw the referee walking towards the accident site while taking something out of his pocket.
Yellow dot package?
No, it should be the Red Dot Package.
Because in the first half, Koke had already received a yellow card, and if the referee showed him a yellow card again, then he would have turned two yellows into one red and was sent off directly.
"Don't." Sevilla fans covered their faces in prayer.
Sevilla's players gathered around the referee.
