Gu Ran smiled without even turning his head and said, "Who knows? Wait until I beat you guys first."
Ancelotti looked at Gu Ran's back and couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
After a 15-minute break, players from both teams returned to the field and continued the game.
After the halftime talk, Chelsea's morale was clearly boosted, and Southampton was like they had been doubly motivated.
In the 58th minute of the game, Chamberlain stretched his leg to trip right-back Bosingwa who was dribbling the ball while defending the wing. The referee decisively showed Chamberlain a yellow card. This was also the fifth yellow card Southampton received.
Lampard took the free kick.
Lampard chose to hang back, and the central defender Cahill jumped over the Southampton players and headed the ball! Goalkeeper Davis touched the ball, but did not change the path of the ball!
The ball went in! Chelsea equalized the score shortly after the start of the second half! The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium immediately changed to Southampton 2:2 Chelsea!
This game was really full of ups and downs! Southampton is indeed a giant killer, and Chelsea is indeed the champion of the Premier League and the Champions League. The two teams joined forces to present a feast for the fans! If Chelsea can win the FA Cup, then Chelsea will be the triple champion this season! And if Southampton can win the FA Cup, then Southampton will not only be able to successfully defend the title against Chelsea again, but also win the four championships of the Carabao Cup, FA Cup, Championship League, and Europa League! The players on both sides are fighting hard!
The core of Chelsea is No. 8 Lampard. Lampard's positioning and through-ball skills are almost superb. However, Lampard is already very old, and in such a high-intensity confrontation, he is obviously unable to do his best.
Lampard's position gradually moved back and he no longer had direct contact with Gu Ran during the attack.
Gu Ran didn't care about Lampard. In this game, Gu Ran's position was a free man throughout the game. He was not restricted by any position. He didn't focus on defending Lampard, but just repeatedly attacked Chelsea's defense.
This strategy is very bold, and it is also based on the understanding that Lampard is unable to cope with it.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Gu Ran received a pass from Chamberlain, and when facing Essien's interception, he stopped and dribbled past Essien, passed the ball to himself two seconds later, and then drove straight into the game with the ball!
Chelsea's defense was completely affected by Gu Ran. Gu Ran dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area. When at least five Chelsea players were double-teaming him on the left side, Gu Ran made a rainbow pass, which lifted the ball out of the encirclement and sent it into the weak area.
Lallana, who was unmarked, made a powerful shot from the back row! Cech leaned over to block the ball, which slipped out of his hands and rolled into the goal with the remaining force! The ball went in! Southampton took the lead again! The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium immediately changed to Southampton 3:2 Chelsea!
The Saints fans at the scene celebrated again with their shirts on! The whole stadium went crazy!
At this point in the game, Chelsea's physical strength was no longer able to keep up.
Chelsea's players are obviously getting older, and having just played in the Premier League and Champions League finals, their physical fitness is not at full capacity.
On the other hand, Southampton has had at least 8 days to rest and adjust since the end of the Europa League, and more importantly, the average age of Southampton's team is very young.
After the 75th minute, it became difficult for Chelsea to control the midfield.
The game continued and Southampton continued to attack.
Although they were leading with a score of 3:2, it was not satisfying enough for Southampton.
This was Gu Ran's last game at Southampton, and the Southampton players definitely didn't want to waste this last time! In the 81st minute, Van Dijk made an accurate long pass from the backcourt. After Gu Ran stopped the ball perfectly in the midfield, he used Matthews' shoulder to knock Lampard down, then rushed into Chelsea's heavily guarded area, and despite the pull and double-team of three defensive players, he shot a powerful shot in the chaos! Cech had never expected Gu Ran to come straight at him.
Just a delay of 0.1 second, and it was too late to save the ball.
Gu Ran scored twice!
The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium changed to Southampton 4:2 Chelsea!
Being two points behind in the final minutes of the game was really not good news for Chelsea.
Chelsea must score two goals in the remaining ten minutes to play overtime with Southampton, but if they play overtime, Chelsea may not have enough physical strength.
There is not much time left for Chelsea.
Chelsea began to speed up the pace of attack and pressed forward on both flanks.
As time passed, Southampton's dawn of victory became more and more obvious. All the non-Chelsea fans in the stands stood up, linked their shoulders, and sang the song "There is a handsome and elegant Oriental man named Gu Ran".
In the 90+2 minute of the game, Van Dijk made a crucial interception again, and then made a long pass to Gu Ran in the middle.
Gu Ran immediately sprinted with the ball! Son of the Wind, King of Highbury in full swing!
Chelsea's defenders tried desperately to chase Gu Ran, but they couldn't catch up at all!
Gu Ran dribbles the ball and leaves everyone in his tracks! He meets Cech alone!
Cech rushed out of the small penalty area, trying to block Gu Ran's one-on-one attack in the big penalty area.
However, Gu Ran used a pendulum move to dribble past Cech and knocked him to the ground! Gu Ran easily passed Cech, then faced the empty goal and shot a powerful shot! The ball went in! Hat trick!
Gu Ran once again completed a hat trick in the FA Cup final!
The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium was immediately changed to Southampton 5:2 Chelsea! Chelsea was beaten!
There were only two minutes left in injury time, and Chelsea was absolutely powerless! The fans in the stands of Wembley Stadium had already started setting off fireworks to celebrate! Chelsea's players collapsed on the grass with faces full of pain, unable to accept this reality.
Beep, beep, beep—
As the referee blew the whistle, the FA Cup final ended!
Southampton successfully defended their title! And once again, they successfully defended their title by stepping on Chelsea's corpse!
The players, coaches and staff on the Southampton bench rushed into the stadium like crazy and lifted Gu Ran up high! Gu Ran is the eternal God in the hearts of the saints! Even if God is leaving, this country is still God's country, and this Southampton is still Gu Ran's Southampton!
The fans at the scene were laughing happily and crying sadly at the same time.
The song "There is a young and handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran" resounded throughout Wembley! ... (End of this chapter)
