Ozil appeared very cautious after coming on the court. After all, in the previous game against Liverpool, Ozil was in pain all over by Gu Ran.
However, after replacing Ozil, Real Madrid's frontcourt offense did improve.
In the 80th minute of the game, Real Madrid launched a sharp attack through the regional cooperation of Marcelo, Ozil and Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo failed to score due to Gu Ran's retreating defense, he still got a corner kick opportunity.
Ozil kicked the ball forward, Ronaldo and Benzema headed the ball to Ronaldo.
C Ronaldo jumped high, and Gu Ran jumped up at the same time. They both jumped almost at the same height, and touched the football almost at the same time!
Bang! The two of them collided heavily, and the football was headed out of the penalty area by Gu Ran.
Ronaldo fell to the ground and Gu Ran pressed on him.
There was chaos in the penalty area.
Gu Ran got up immediately and sprinted to chase the ball, but Ronaldo held Gu Ran tightly, not letting him get away.
Liverpool also lost a great counterattack opportunity. The ball was picked up by Modric on the periphery, and Modric immediately shot it hard! The ball passed through the crowd in the penalty area, hit the top of the goal beam, and bounced out of the end line.
Ronaldo and Gu Ran then got up, hugged each other, and laughed away their grudges.
The game continued and the score between the two sides was still 3:3.
Just when everyone thought it would be another evenly matched draw, in the final stage of injury time, Van Dijk suddenly made a steal and formed a stranglehold with Gu Ran, stealing the ball from Ozil's feet! Ozil was busy defending Gu Ran and didn't prepare for Van Dijk's sneak attack at all!
By the time Ozil reacted, the ball had already been lost!
Gu Ran got the ball from Van Dijk immediately and then accelerated at full speed! At this point in the game, the physical energy of both players was almost exhausted, but Gu Ran was still able to maintain sufficient power! If the physical energy of other players is a lithium battery, then Gu Ran's physical energy is a nuclear battery! It will almost never run out!
Gu Ran used his speed and physical strength to beat Modric and Essien, then used his footwork to get past Pepe and Carvalho and dribbled into the penalty area!
Casillas rushed out to block! Gu Ran made a beautiful pendulum pass and passed Casillas!
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran faced the empty goal and shot violently!
The ball went in! The net shook! All the Liverpool fans at the scene were boiling with excitement!
The score on the big screen at Anfield was immediately changed to Liverpool 4:3 Real Madrid! Standing in the stands watching the game, Mourinho excitedly hugged the fans next to him, jumped and danced with the fans, and sang the song "There is a young and handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran"! Gu Ran dominated the whole stadium with his amazing performance!
Even Ronaldo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Ronaldo should have been the most dazzling star today, but in Liverpool, in Gu Ran's home stadium, Ronaldo couldn't compete with Gu Ran! Gu Ran's goal also killed the game. Real Madrid had no time to score another goal, and even if there was time, Real Madrid couldn't do it at all with their current physical strength! Beep, beep, beep!
As the referee blew the final whistle, the entire Anfield stadium was boiling! Ronaldo, Casillas, Modric, Kaka and others took the initiative to shake hands with Gu Ran and congratulate him. Gu Ran deserved this victory for Liverpool.
Ozil also timidly tried to come up and shake hands with Gu Ran, but Gu Ran completely ignored Ozil.
After this game, the qualifying situation of the super death group D is basically clear. Liverpool has 3 wins and 1 draw with 10 points, ranking first in the group. Real Madrid has 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 7 points, ranking second in the group. Dortmund has 2 wins and 2 losses with 6 points, ranking third in the group, and Ajax is miserable, losing all four games and has been eliminated.
But in the next games, Ajax still has to play two more rounds, and Ajax will become the super troublemaker in this super death group.
If Ajax beats Liverpool or draws with Liverpool, and then beats Real Madrid or draws with Real Madrid, then Dortmund will have a great chance to benefit and move up.
Even if Ajax is not willing to fight hard, as long as Dortmund can draw with Liverpool or beat Real Madrid, Dortmund will have a chance to become second in the group.
Therefore, the current situation is very good for Liverpool, but it is still very tense for Real Madrid, which is in second place.
After the game, Gu Ran, as the host, also invited Ronaldo back.
Mourinho also gave the players two days off to have a good rest.
On November 11, the Premier League match resumed with Liverpool facing Bolton at home.
Bolton is a weak team, and Mourinho also sent out a full substitute lineup to practice.
In the end, Liverpool, with an all-substitute lineup, beat Bolton 2-0 at their home ground.
On November 14, the highlight of the Premier League game is here, the Reds vs. Liverpool away game against Arsenal! In the press conference before the game, Arsenal's head coach Wenger praised Gu Ran's recent performance and said that he was just a little bit away from signing Gu Ran.
After the start of the game, Arsenal continued to control the ball and the rhythm of the game through passing and cutting, while Liverpool played steadily and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
In the first 10 minutes, Arsenal was on the offensive, while Liverpool seemed to be on the defensive.
In the 14th minute, Arsenal launched a strong attack in the middle through midfielder Arteta's through ball. The little tiger Walcott took the ball and opened up the gap, turned around and passed the ball back to Giroud who was supporting him. Giroud followed up and took the ball from the back row and broke into the penalty area and shot calmly! Reina jumped up, but didn't catch the ball! The ball went in! After 15 minutes of passing and cutting, the home team Arsenal finally scored a goal! However, the Gunners didn't wait to be happy for too long. Three minutes later, Liverpool returned the favor! Van Dijk tackled the breakthrough of Tsar Arshavin. After Henderson, who was supporting the defense, picked up the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Gu Ran who was near the center circle. Gu Ran immediately broke through with the ball and ate Arsenal's midfielder and defender with speed and body!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Ran brought the ball to the top of the penalty area, opened up a gap horizontally, and then kicked the ball straight -
Suarez didn't even stop the ball, he just shot directly!
Arsenal's goalkeeper reacted well, making a diving save and using his arm to block the ball out of the end line.

The game continues.
In the 23rd minute, Arsenal still attacked through the middle through Arteta, but this time Gu Ran retreated just in time and blocked Arteta's route with his body without waiting for Arteta to pass the ball. Arteta could only pass the ball with difficulty, but the ball was intercepted in time by Henderson.
The Liverpool team immediately counterattacked as a whole!
Gu Ran instantly shook off Arteta and returned to his center position.
Henderson passed the ball to the right side, broke through Arsenal's high pressure defense, and gave the ball to Suarez.

The score on the big screen at the Emirates Stadium immediately changed to Arsenal 1:2 Liverpool.
The game continues.
The two sides engaged in close combat in the midfield and frontcourt, and the scene was once very intense.
In the 37th minute, Liverpool got another good chance to counterattack. Van Dijk dribbled the ball all the way, attracting the focus of Arsenal's defense to the right side. Then Van Dijk passed the ball back to Henderson who was in a safer position. After Henderson got the ball, he passed it directly to Gu Ran at the top of the arc without anyone pressing him.
After Gu Ran got the ball, almost the entire Arsenal defense line surrounded him. Gu Ran turned around to protect the ball and pulled the ball sideways.
Coutinho took the opportunity to quietly penetrate into the penalty area from the left rib.
Gu Ran didn't even look at anyone, but just made a wonderful heel pass, accurately sending the ball to an empty space in the penalty area.
Coutinho then ran as fast as he could and got the ball from the back row! Coutinho shot from a small angle! The ball went in! This was a beautiful match!
The score on the big screen at the Emirates Stadium immediately changed to Arsenal 1:3 Liverpool!
Now, all the pressure is on Arsenal!
Arsenal continued to strengthen their attack, but Liverpool's retreating defensive position made Arsenal's frontcourt attack very unsmooth.
At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was fixed at Arsenal 1:3 Liverpool.
After the halftime break, players from both teams returned to the field and continued the game.
In the 55th minute, Arsenal had a very good chance. After a dazzling 16 passes, Giroud got the pass at the top of the penalty area, but even Giroud himself did not seem to expect the ball to be passed to his feet. His shot was not fully prepared, and he kicked the ball high with a big kick.
Arsenal's first 16 perfect passes were completely in vain.
Wenger in the technical area also looked helpless.
The game continues.
In the 68th minute, Arsenal was still in a frenzy of attack, still relying on Arteta's key pass in the middle to launch a strong attack, but Gu Ran retreated again to keep a close eye on Arteta. Gerrard came up personally to intercept the ball at Arteta's feet, and then passed it to Coutinho on the wing.
Coutinho immediately counterattacked with the ball, and Gu Ran also accelerated and ran to his center position.
Coutinho made a rainbow pass and accurately passed the ball to Gu Ran while running. Gu Ran didn't even stop the ball, and directly made a 40-meter long shot from outside the penalty area! Arsenal's goalkeeper was helpless! The score on the big screen at the Emirates Stadium was rewritten again: Arsenal 1:4 Liverpool!
Arsenal's possession rate was very high, almost reaching 7:3, but the score was 1:4!
The game continues.
In the 78th minute, after a high-intensity confrontation, Arsenal players were already exhausted and Wenger had to make a series of substitutions.
In the 82nd minute, Mourinho also started making substitutions. Now that the victory was decided, it was time to let the substitute players play more often and adapt to the rhythm of the competition.
Chamberlain, Sturridge and Sterling were substituted, while Coutinho, Suarez and Henderson were substituted.
The game continued and both sides had wonderful performances, but until the referee blew the final whistle, neither side scored any more goals.
The score was fixed at Arsenal 1:4 Liverpool.
For Liverpool, this score can only be considered a small victory.
On November 7th, it was still a Premier League game. Liverpool returned to their home ground to face the Magpies Newcastle United.
Newcastle United is not a weak team, but in order to give the main players a rest, Mourinho only fielded half of the main lineup. Gu Ran was rested and the old captain Gerrard led the team.
In the end, Liverpool beat Newcastle United 1-0 at home. The only goal of the game came from Gerrard's penalty. This penalty was controversial and the Newcastle United coach also protested after the game, but no matter what, Liverpool still won.
On November 24, in the Premier League match, Liverpool challenged the Blue Moon Manchester City away.
This season, Manchester City has begun to show its competitive edge after a series of big-money signings.
However, Mourinho did not take Manchester City too seriously and still adopted the mode of resting half of the main players and letting the other half take the field to lead the team.
In this round, Gerrard was rested and Gu Ran wore the captain's armband.
Manchester City, on the other hand, attached great importance to the match with Liverpool and specially fielded all the main players they could.
The goalkeeper is the famous Joe Hart.
The defenders include Kompany, Demichelis, Kraft and Zabaleta, and the midfielders include Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry, Milner and David Silva.
The forwards are even more amazing, including Balotelli, who is world-class below the neck, and Aguero, Maradona's son-in-law and Messi's good brother.
Manchester City has performed well this season and is currently ranked third in the Premier League. They are very eager to defeat the leader Liverpool.
For this game, Manchester City prepared themselves mentally early on and were ready to have a good fight with Liverpool.
At the beginning of the game, Balotelli received a pass from David Silva and drove straight in! Gu Ran retreated and pressed closely, forcing Balotelli to slow down. Balotelli should have passed the ball, but who is Balotelli? Balotelli refused to believe this and insisted on fighting Gu Ran.
As a result, Lallana came over from the side, intercepted the ball from Balotelli's feet and passed it to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran immediately drove the ball straight into the goal. When he was about 45 meters away from the goal, he made a super long shot! The winning formula for playing against Manchester City is: If there is love, the sky will also grow old! I saw Hart made a kick! Goalkeeper Joe Hart hasn't put on his gloves yet!
Joe Hart watched the football go into the net!
