Incredibly, José arrived first and jumped high.

Jose took the ball in flight straight from mid-air.

However, just as Jose was holding the ball, Lima also got it.

He failed to stop his body and slammed straight into Jose without slowing down.

was hit by Lima, Jose fell to the ground on the spot, and the ball came out of his hands.

Rodrigo saw the ball out of his hands, rushed over quickly, and directly pushed the empty goal.

The ball went in.

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew.

Lima rammed the goalkeeper and was fouled first.

So Rodrigo's goal naturally doesn't count.

"If you can score, I'll write my name upside down."

was continuously bumped by opposing players, and Jose's anger also came up.

Previously, he had only heard that Benfica was dark when they sold players.

What he didn't expect was that the other party was so shameless in kicking football.

Most of the collisions of players in the Premier League will be on the surface, and fouls are fouls, and they will rarely be done in secret.

However, Benfica's players are extremely secretive in their foul actions.

For the first time, Rodrigo's hidden scheming push, there were so many people on the scene, and few of them could find his small movements.

As for Lima's collision, on the surface, it seems that he can't stop his body, but anyone who has kicked the ball knows that he can completely change direction.

Eventually, the referee gave Lima a verbal warning.

Rodrigo: They didn't know what it meant to write a name backwards, but they understood the meaning of Jose's words, but they didn't care.

Benfica are the Portuguese champions this season, while Villa are nothing.

Jose's words quickly reached the Villa fan stands.

As a result, the whole stadium resounded with the song "You don't want to score".

The game continues.

In the 67th minute, Delph made a successful steal in front.

Villa had a chance to counter-attack on the spot.

Just as Delph was about to pass the ball, a figure approached and dropped him to the ground before Delph could react.

It turned out to be Enzo Pérez.

"Beep, beep~" The referee's whistle sounded.

I saw him walking towards the accident point and digging something into his pocket.

Is this the rhythm of the cards to be given?

If the referee really gave the card, then Enzo Perez, who already had a yellow card before, turned two yellows into one red and sent him off directly.

Sure enough, the referee did show Enzo Perez a second yellow card.

Enzo Perez was sent off outright.

The Benfica coach saw that the situation was not right and immediately began to make substitutions.

Defender Andre Almeida came off the bench and Rodrygo, who already had a yellow card, was substituted.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Stadium of Light." Before the end of the game, Rodrigo did not forget to say to Jose.

"Okay, I hope you can play then." José looked calm and replied lightly.

The brief interlude passed, and the game continued.

Originally, the Villa team didn't have many chances, and now Benfica has even fewer chances with the addition of a defender.

Paul Lambert also started to make substitutions.

Benteke came off the bench and Carrack was substituted.

Villa switched to two centre-backs and added a striker.

After Benteke came on, Villa did have a lot more chances, but they only had a kick in the goal, but they never succeeded.

In the end, Villa drew 0-0 at home.

The grievances between the two sides in this game will be resolved in a week.

The failure to win at home has led to the belief that Villa's Europa League journey will end in the last four.

As for the collision between the players on the field, it was also dug up by the Sun and other media.

For a time, the Premier League fans were furious.

"The little black shop, it's too arrogant, isn't it?"

"Support Vera to bring them down."

'It's time for Premier League fans to be united with the outside world.

Under the media rendering, the attention of the second leg match between Villa and Benfica even exceeded the semi-final battle between Bayern and Real Madrid.

Despite the anticipation of the second leg, Villa need to travel to Swansea in the league ahead of this game.

On April 27, at the Liberty Stadium, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky.

Everything in the Premier League is good, but the rainy weather from time to time makes people feel very uncomfortable.

However, Jose has slowly adapted to playing in the rain.

Villa kick off first.

Swansea, which has always played with a pass-and-control dominant style of play, actually played a defensive counterattack in this game.

The two sides come and go.

In the 10th minute, Swansea had a good chance to open the scoring.

Shervey crosses into the box.

Bony successfully countered offside and formed a single knife trend.

Inside the top of the gourd in the penalty area, facing the attacking Jose, Bony chose to shoot low into the far corner.

If Bony had opted for a hanging door, he would have been able to kick the ball a little higher from a distance of almost 22 yards, and in that case, Jose really wouldn't have had anything to do.

Unfortunately, Bony opted to push the far corner.

Jose used a timeout to get Bony's shot straight from the halfway point.

The Villas escaped.

In the 22nd minute, the desperate Villa scored first.

Ahmadi passes the ball from the side.

The ball is at the feet of Albrighton.

On the right side of the box, Albrighton shook off Ben Davies and crossed.

On the edge of the six-yard box, Abang Lajo shoots with a left-footed pad.

The ball went in.

And just like that, Villa took the lead away.

Swansea, who were behind, began to intensify their counter-attacks.

In the 26th minute, Jose almost caught Chervey's way.

At this point, Villa's attack, all players pressed into the midfield position.

Jose also stepped out of the edge of the box.

Suddenly, Bacuna mismade a pass.

The ball fell to Swansea's Pablo Hernandez.

Hernandez passes the ball first.

In the middle circle, the ball went to Shelvey.

Just as the Villa players were about to return to defend, Xhervey volleyed in directly.

60 yards from great distance.

The fans in the stadium exclaimed in unison.

With just one glance, Jose calculated that if there were no surprises, Chervi's ultra-long-range shot would have been successful.

Jose quickly retreated in the direction of the goal.

Although it is only 18 yards from the edge of the penalty area to the goal, the speed at which a football flies is by no means comparable to that of a human.

unless

By the time Jose ran back to the edge of the six-yard box, the ball had flown over the box.

At this time, the height of the ball, Jose could not take it yet.

There was no way, so Jose had to use space-time pause.

One second was just enough time for Jose to run back to the goal line from the edge of the penalty area, thanks to the fact that he had already started.

Danger after danger, after consuming a plug-in, Jose finally won Shervey's ultra-long-range lob shot.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of ultra-long-distance shooting rarely occurs in the game, mainly because the probability of hitting the target is too low.

This time, Shervey is probably also planning to be blindfolded.

But it was this random kick that scared Jose out of a cold sweat.

Of course, even if Chervi's shot goes in, the blame is not on Jose, but on Bakuna, who made a mistake in the pass.

When the team's formation is pressed, the goalkeeper's appropriate attack can prevent the occurrence of a single ball and respond in time.

In the second half, in the 73rd minute, Swansea had another good chance to score.

Chervi crosses from the right and the ball reaches Pablo Hernandez at the far post.

Hernandez won the ball and made a detour to 15 yards in the middle.

He shook Baker down and then fired hard with his right foot.

Low flat ball.

The ball is fast.

In an instant, they were in front of the goal line.

Thankfully, Jose was prepared.

I saw him take half a step, and then quickly stretched out a kick that just blocked the flight path of the ball.

After blocking the ball, Jose pounced forward and bounced off the calf.

Once again, Swansea came back in vain.

Stoppage time.

Last minute.

Bony dribbles into the box.

Under pressure, Baker brought down Bony.

Yellow Dot Package.

In addition to Baker's yellow card, Villa were also awarded a penalty.

Westwood was unhappy and was also given a yellow card by the referee.

"What are you doing here? Penalty is a penalty, isn't there still me? Although José disagreed with Baker's reckless behavior in his heart, it was difficult to say it directly.

Only when teammates get along with each other can they exert more strength.

Bony himself took the penalty.

Jose isn't going to use the plug-in anymore.

There are still 5 days left in the second leg against Benfica, while Jose currently has 10 more stunts.

To qualify for the final, Jose will have to be well prepared.

Bony's penalty didn't have too many tricks and volleyed straight into the bottom left corner.

The ball was so fast that Jose had very little reaction time.

Fortunately, the god-level prediction responded, and Jose judged the right direction.

Eventually, Jose saved Boni's penalty.

"Jose saved a penalty so well, I don't remember when I missed a penalty last time." After the game, some fans left such a message.

"Regardless of the opponent's follow-up shots, the last time I missed a penalty was a penalty shoot-out in last year's League Cup final. If you count the opponent's follow-up shot, it was Gerrard's stop-shot in the match against Liverpool on January 19. ”

"It's amazing."

Although the win against Swansea City did not mean much to Villa.

At the end of 36 rounds, Villa is seventh with 63 points, a full 10 points away from fourth-placed Arsenal.

Villa, on the other hand, have three games to play, including a make-up against Manchester City.

Even with all the wins, Villa still can't finish in the top four.

Of course, José will not be in the Villa squad next season.

At that time, Villa's goal will return to the original relegation mission.

Knowing that Jose was about to leave the team, Villa's fans expressed their confusion, but they did not say anything to keep him.

It was clear to everyone that José was wasting his talent by staying at Villa.

Sometimes, the number of honors a player has a lot to do with what team he is on.

On May 1, in anticipation, the second leg between Villa and Benfica arrived.

Stadium of Light.

21:05 local time in Portugal.

The match between Villa and Benfica has officially begun.

In terms of the starting line-ups of both sides, there was little change.

Villa remained in a 343 formation, with the only change being that Benteke started and Albrighton was on the bench.

As for Benfica, Enzo Perez was not included in the squad for the suspension, and Andre Gomez was replaced by Andre Gomez, in addition, Markovic also failed to make the squad, and he was replaced by Soleimani.

I searched today and found that there are only a few online articles about goalkeepers in the entire China Literature Group.

Why is this so? In the final analysis, it is still difficult to produce results.

What is the cool point of the goalkeeper? I think it was probably the moment when the opponent's shot was saved, but it was too short to feel cool.

I will try to finish this book, at least until the protagonist wins the World Cup against the team.
