The reason why it is called the devil's schedule is naturally terrifying.

According to the schedule, Villa will have as many as 7 official games in December. Their opponents include Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, of which Tottenham is the second round of this season.

In addition to being surrounded by strong enemies, the density of competitions has also maintained a frequency of close to two games a week.

No one can easily resist such a high competition density.

On December 1, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Villa will travel to London to challenge Queens Park Rangers, who are currently at the bottom, away from home.

Although Queens Park Rangers are ranked at the bottom, they changed their head coach not long ago, and Redknapp took over as the new head coach of Queens Park Rangers.

Changing coaches is like changing swords, this is not just a joke.

However, considering that in the game against Arsenal, Jose played the entire 90 minutes in the freezing rain, and he also played the entire game against Reading in midweek, so in the game against Queens Park Rangers, Lambert

Still let Jose sit on the bench.

The first starter in the rotation is Guzan.

In addition to Guzan, Nathan Baker, Lehigh, Hurd, Holman and others also got the chance to start again.

On this day, the weather in London was occasionally cloudy, but except for the low temperature (0-3 degrees), it was generally bearable.

After the game started, the two sides competed fiercely.

In the 8th minute, Westwood passed the ball from the left and the ball reached the feet of teammate Holman.

From 25 yards, Holman volleyed with his left foot. The ball was so fast that Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Green pounced on the ball, but he still couldn't stop the goal.

Holman scored his first goal for Villa.

Villa leads 1-0 away from home.

The good times didn't last long, as Queen's Park Rangers equalized the score just ten minutes later.

Diakite made a pass from the right, and McKay headed the ball from 12 yards. Guzan had no choice but to look back and watch the ball slowly enter the Villa goal.

Queen's Park, which equalized the score, was in high spirits and attacked one wave after another.

Shortly afterwards, Wright-Phillips shot hard from the right side of the penalty area and almost caused the home team to reverse. Unfortunately, his shot hit the goal post and bounced out.

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

Although Queens Park Rangers are currently ranked at the bottom, they have achieved 3 wins and 3 draws in their last 6 home games against Villa. The last time they lost to Villa at home was in 1991.

Style suppression is so magical sometimes, even if you are in despair, it can still restrain you.

Jose did not play, so the system did not issue tasks, and naturally there were no rewards.

After the game, when Jose walked out of Loftus Stadium, he saw Asuka Saito again... (10,000 words omitted here)

…

There is no game in midweek, and the 16th round of the Premier League is scheduled for a week later.

By then, Villa will return home, and their opponent is Stoke City, currently ranked 9th.

Jose returns to the starting lineup.

This was an extremely dull game.

Stoke City had only two shots in the entire game at Villa Park, and both of them missed.

But even so, Villa's offense also lacked substantial threats. Only 2 of 13 shots hit the target. This was simply a defense for the more than 40,000 fans who came to watch the game.

The only memorable thing is probably that in the 93rd minute, Stoke City defender Shorten was sent off after receiving two yellows and one red.

Although it was a defense competition, Jose still got the reward he deserved.

First of all, the system rewards needless to say. A draw plus a zero seal. Jose got 4,000 points and a silver treasure chest*2. Secondly, the club received a single-game zero seal bonus of 40,000 pounds.

Before he knew it, Jose's clean sheet bonus had exceeded his normal salary.

Under normal circumstances, based on Jose's performance, he can get at least a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds. Just because he is a Chelsea player and returned to Villa on loan, so if he wants to increase his salary, he needs to negotiate with Chelsea.

, this is undoubtedly not an easy thing.

But now that Jose is still young, his salary requirements are not as important as playing opportunities.

...

Since the number of accumulated silver treasure chests has reached 28, which is enough for "ten drawings" three times in a row, that night, after Jose closed the door, he started the lottery operation.

The first "Ten Draws" is drawn.

[Talent Essence*5, Technical Key Points*3, Equipment Coupon*2.]

The rewards are mediocre.

The second "ten draws" continues.

[Talent essence*4, technical points*2, equipment coupons*3, meal replacement nutrients*3.]

It's still unremarkable, the only bright spot is the 12 points reward.

The third "Ten Draws in a Row".

[Talent Essence*4, Technical Key Points*1, Equipment Voucher*2, Meal Replacement Nutrients*2, Falling Leaves and Blossoms (Elementary)*1.]

Um?

Falling leaves and floating flowers?

Have a free kick skill?

After getting to know it, Jose figured out what Fallen Leaves Piaohua was. In layman's terms, it was a more advanced elevator ball.

For the current Jose, it is of little use.

After three "ten consecutive draws", Jose's talent essence and technical points have reached 14 points, which means that Jose can upgrade a junior talent and a junior free kick.

Free kick skills, Jose did not hesitate to choose violent artillery.

In terms of goalkeeper talent selection, Jose decided after some thought to upgrade "Hungry Tiger Pounces on Food" to an intermediate level.

After completing the two upgrades, Jose spent another 6 equipment coupons to customize a brand new set of equipment, including two pairs of high-quality underwear.

In mid-week, on December 11, Villa ushered in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup. Villa challenged the Premier League team Norwich away.

Jose continued to start, and many players took turns, including Darren Bent, who had not appeared for a long time.

However, Darren Bent only played 35 minutes before being replaced by Weiman.

Regarding this game, the club's intention is very clear: win if you can win, give up if you can't win, and there must be no accidents such as injuries during the game.

In view of this, Jose had no intention of using stunts at all.

This weekend, Villa will go to Liverpool to challenge Rodgers' Red Army Liverpool away. For the long-term plan, Jose must allocate his resources reasonably.

Although the match between Villa and Norwich is not a high-level match, it can definitely be said to be a feast of goals for neutral fans who attend the game.

In the 19th minute, Norwich forward Morrison opened the scoring.

Jose did not use any stunts to save in preparation for the weekend match against Liverpool.

Two minutes later, Benteke made a pass from the wing and assisted Holman to equalize the score. The two sides returned to the same starting line.

The game continued in the second half. In the 79th minute, Lehai assisted Weiman to score, and Villa reversed the score.

Then Weimann scored twice and Benteke added the icing on the cake. Villa finally advanced to the EFL Cup semi-finals with a big score of 4-1.
Chapter completed!
