As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 63 The Arsenal Traitor

According to the schedule, Villa's away game against Manchester City is scheduled for 11 pm local time on November 17.

Before they started playing, Arsenal's home game with Tottenham in London was over.

Arsenal beat their city rivals 5-2.

Tottenham took the lead in the 10th minute. Verhenton made a direct pass. Defoe, who succeeded in countering offside, pushed a shot from 10 yards from the left side of the penalty area. Leaving the dangerous area, he was shot into the net by the former arsenal general Adebayor.

After the goal, Adebayor seemed extremely excited, but only 8 minutes later, his joy turned into sadness. He caused a dispute between the two sides because of his flying tackle on Cazorla, and was finally sent off by the referee Weber with a red card.

Tottenham, who played one less player, lost their momentum.

Arsenal equalized the score in the 24th minute. Arsenal prince Wilshere scored the ball from the right. Tiger Walcott forced a breakthrough and made a pass. The unguarded Mertesacker scored with a header from 12 yards. Lloris Wang Qiu sighed.

In the 42nd minute, Podolski volleyed from 12 yards, and the ball refracted into the net after touching Gallas.

In half-time stoppage time, Cazorla still forcibly broke through and passed the ball even though he was tripped. Facing the pressing of Verhenton and Gallas, Giroud stabbed the ball first.

Arsenal led Tottenham 3-1 at half-time.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and the goals still continued.

In the 60th minute, Arsenal made a series of passes. First, Giroud headed the ball, then the tiger Walcott made a direct pass, then Podolski made a pass from the left, and finally Cazorla shoveled from 10 yards in the penalty area. Score.

Arsenal killed the game.

Although Bell then relied on his personal ability to get back a goal, he was unable to change the situation.

Finally, in stoppage time, Walcott's goal ended the game.

Arsenal's sudden outburst made Villa, who were about to play against them in the next game, call it unlucky.

Originally, people expressed deep sympathy for Villa's schedule. After all, no one wants to play against Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal in a row, because it is easy for them to lose all morale directly.

However, because Villa upset Manchester United in the 11th round, the fans now have some expectations for their game against Manchester City.

Villa's starting lineup has not changed in any way from the last game against Manchester United, but the positioning of the players is slightly different.

As for Manchester City's starting lineup, they are:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Back four: Clichy, Nastasic, Kompany, Maicon.

Double defensive midfielders: Yaya Toure, Barry.

Three attacking forwards: Nasri, Carlos Tevez, David Silva.

Aguero as a single arrow striker.

Unlike Manchester United's overwhelming historical confrontation results, in the historical confrontation between Villa and Manchester City, Manchester City has a slight advantage with 57 wins, 38 draws and 51 losses. That is because Manchester City before Mansour moved in was at the same level as Villa team.

Therefore, if only the statistics of the confrontation results in the last five seasons are counted, Manchester City leads by a large margin with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Of course, at the beginning of the season, when the substitute lineup confronted in the League Cup, although Villa won the final victory, it can't explain anything. In this game, Villa is still very difficult.

After the opening, Manchester City mainly attacked from the right.

In the 6th minute, Manchester City got a right corner kick and Nasri took the penalty.

After the corner kick came out, Aguero grabbed the first spot, but his shot missed and the ball flew to the top of Carlos Tevez on the other side.

Carlos Tevez took advantage of the momentum and rubbed the ball back, and the ball turned and flew above the goal.

Although Carlos Tevez's header was likely to be higher than the goal, Jose did not dare to neglect. His figure was fast, moving across the goal like a puff of smoke.

When Tevez's header was about to reach the goal, Jose jumped up and took the ball out of the air with both hands.

The moment he got the ball, Jose was sure that Tevez's header would definitely go above the crossbar, but since he had already won it, Jose was not too entangled.

The game continues.

In the 15th minute, Villa fans once saw the hope of scoring.

Lowton crossed from the right, and Kompany grabbed the spot. However, his clearance turned the ball towards his own goal. It was Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart who flew to save the ball, which avoided the appearance of an own goal.

Although Joe Hart took Kompany's header out, the ball did not leave the danger zone.

In the confusion, Wei Manfei raised his foot forward and shot directly.

At this time, Kompany, who almost had an own goal, made a contribution. He flew to the ground and blocked Weiman's shot.

Villa were just a hair away from scoring.

Seeing hope, the confidence of the Villa players immediately rose.

In the 19th minute, Villa got a chance to counterattack. Stevens made a pass from the left.

Joe Hart played bravely. He flew towards the direction of the ball and blocked the ball in front of the goal. The ball was kicked out of the baseline by Manchester City players in the chaos, and Villa won a corner kick.

Bannan was responsible for taking the corner kick and he chose to go straight to the goal.

Joe Hart played bravely again. I saw him leaning back and miraculously blocked the ball out of the danger zone.

Jose had a vague feeling that one day in the future, he and Joe Hart would definitely become direct competitors for a certain matter.

Being continuously threatened by Villa to their own gate, Manchester City's players couldn't hold back their faces, and they began to launch more crazy attacks.

In the 20th minute, Yaya Toure dribbled the ball through the middle and crossed to the left after passing several people. Nasri cleverly divided the ball after receiving the ball. Fly down to the right.

The opponent's cooperation was wonderful, but the rhythm was too slow. Jose had already prepared, and saw him leaping forward to block Clichy's shot from the bottom line.

Manchester City wins a corner.

Nasri took the corner kick and made a long pass in the middle, which was directly confiscated by Jose.

The goal kick was taken, but in the end it failed to form a counterattack, but it caused some competition in the midfield.

In the 27th minute, Manchester City once again threatened the gate guarded by Jose.

David Silva made a cross from the wing, Carlos Tevez volleyed, the ball brushed the Villa players and flew towards the right side of the goal.

Jose flew to the right of the goal and blocked the ball in front of the goal line.

One minute later, David Silva hit again, this time it was Yaya Toure who shot high.

Manchester City continued to press and attack, and Villa had to defend in an orderly manner.

Regarding the changes on the court, Jose did not dare to be sloppy at all, and the God's perspective was full throughout the whole process, for fear of missing a single mistake.

In the 29th minute, Maicon, the hero of the former Inter Milan Triple Crown, made a pass from the right. The ball fell into the penalty area. Nasri, one of the four major traitors of Arsenal, shot in the air. The ball was like a shell, bombarding towards the center of the goal. go.

"Strike." The live commentator shouted excitedly.

Nasri shot very powerfully, and the ball was even faster. Unfortunately, the angle was too straight. Jose just took a step across and easily confiscated it.

So far in the game, Jose has never used a stunt, and the game seems to be not difficult.

Is this really the case?
