Right to fire!

In this kind of opportunity, you can definitely shoot!

Gu Ran felt the adrenaline in his body explode instantly! He accelerated towards the ball that was coming across! Another Golden Fleece central defender had an excellent sense of position, and he rushed forward with a big split to intercept the ground ball.

The football immediately bounced off the golden fleece defender's feet and flew up! The golden fleece defender intercepted it, but failed to completely stop it.

At the same time, the goalkeeper of the Golden Fleece team immediately attacked -

After being blocked by the central defender, there was almost no opportunity and angle to stop the ball, let alone shoot.

The Southampton students in the stands were ready to cover their faces and wail.

but!

At this moment, Gu Ran still didn't give up!

It was as if Gu Ran's shooting instinct from his previous life had awakened! Gu Ran's sprinting speed once again broke through himself. He used inertia to jump sideways and volleyed the ball before the goalkeeper of the Golden Fleece Team could touch it! This was the perfect combination of sideways stopping the ball and volleying! If the body was in the air and facing away from the goal, it would be a golden hook! The football passed through the goalkeeper's face like a sharp blade! The goalkeeper exclaimed and stretched out his hand to intercept -

At this moment, the whole audience was suffocated!

The goalkeeper's hand was a whole beat slow!

The football was shot from close range and hit the net! The ball went in...

The ball went in!!! As Gu Ran fell sideways on the grass, he heard the referee's whistle that the goal was valid! He heard the wild shouts of more than a thousand Southampton students! He felt the entire green field shaking violently! 2:1!

Overtaken! The Bucks Steelhorns lead the Golden Fleece 2:1!

From falling behind by one goal, to fighting hard to tie the game, and then to surpassing the score!

Gu Ran completed the home counterattack for the Bucks Steel Horns!

The players of the Bucks Steel Horns rushed towards Gu Ran frantically and tried their best to pin Gu Ran under them to celebrate!

Although head coach Carter forbade them to celebrate like this, at this moment, no one cared!

Teacher Maria shouted anxiously to the field: "Don't press him! Don't press him up! Oh! I'm so anxious!"

Teacher Maria wanted to rush up immediately.

Everyone at the scene went crazy! Even Coach Carter was so excited that he clenched his fists and waved them in the air! Many of the 100 jazz drums on the sidelines were broken!

The partitions of the stands were swinging like noodles and were about to collapse!

This goal is so cool!

Whether it is from the perspective of scoring in front of the goal or the connection between technical movements, it is perfect!

Especially for a fourth-tier team like the Bucks Steelhorns, it was really amazing to be able to beat the first-tier Golden Fleece team like this in front of their classmates! Yes, this is all thanks to Gu Ran!

Who could have imagined that Gu Ran had just joined the Milwaukee Bucks for less than two weeks!

Gu Ran was pressed under a group of big men, and he was almost out of breath, but his mind and body were extremely excited! Adrenaline and dopamine rushed into his brain!

It feels so good!!! Of course it’s not the feeling of being pressed, but the feeling of scoring a goal!

In his previous life, he had scored many goals as a striker for a wild team, but none of them were as impressive as this one!

Yes, this was his first goal after his rebirth! A sideways volley—such a beautiful first goal!

And... this will definitely not be the last one! With this first goal, there will definitely be more firing rights in the future!

It was so cool!!! On the other side, the entire Golden Fleece team was silent, standing on the green field with numb faces watching the Bucks Steel Horns team celebrate crazily.

The Golden Fleece team really tried their best on this ball.

You can't blame the center back, nor the goalkeeper.

It’s all because the Chinese guy on the opposite side is too powerful and too incredible.

This kid has a very fast sprinting speed and is also very strong in physical confrontation. The key is... his sense of smell in front of the goal and his ability to score in front of the goal are also so amazing...

What the hell... is this guy really a defender?

Which defender would specifically practice his sense of smell and how to score in front of the goal?

It's normal for defenders to sprint fast and have strong physical confrontation, but... you are a defender, how can you smell the goal and rush for the ball like a striker? Don't you think it's too much...

This is too much!!! At this time, the fourth official raised a sign - the Golden Fleece Team began to make substitutions.

Before the substitution, the score was still tied. During the warm-up time, Rugby Golden Fleece, the first-tier team aiming for the national championship, was defeated 2:1.

The Golden Fleece's underperforming right winger and underperforming defensive midfielder were both replaced, and forward captain Jolly and main defensive midfielder Gavin came on at the same time.

The Southampton students in the stands continued to sing: "There was a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran. He knocked down Jolly of the Golden Fleece. He knocked down Jolly of the Golden Fleece! He knocked down Jolly of the Golden Fleece! Oh oh oh! He knocked down Jolly of the Golden Fleece!"

Jolly from the Golden Fleece Team quickly ran onto the field, waved to the players to gather around him, and shouted: "It doesn't matter if we lost before! Now I'm here! Everyone cheer up! We are the proud Rugby Golden Fleece! In the history of our school team, we have never lost to a fourth-tier garbage team! Don't let those stinky country bumpkins sing over our heads! Come with me, knock them to the ground and break their singing necks! We must let them understand what is... the real king!"

"roar!"

"Hail the Golden Fleece!"

After Jolly's speech, the morale of the Golden Fleece team instantly skyrocketed!

The game continues!

After the Golden Fleece team kicked off from the center circle, they made a long pass directly to the right side of the Bucks Steel Horns.

The Bucks Steelhorns quickly retreated to defense.

The two sides engaged in a fierce melee on the right side, with both sides making very large movements.

The Golden Fleece team's combat effectiveness and morale were significantly improved after captain Jolly came on the field.

Gu Ran also retreated from the left forward position to the middle to help coordinate the defense.

Without the ball, Joly made a high-speed run towards the middle.

Gu Ran and Mianbao immediately started a joint defense and double-teamed Qiao Li - Qiao Li was the core, and by restricting the core, they could clamp down on the Golden Fleece Team's offensive.

Just when Gu Ran was about to intercept Qiao Li, the newly substituted ace midfielder Gavin suddenly cut in and pushed Gu Ran away from behind with his elbow!

Fortunately, Gu Ran's physical fitness was still good and his strength was sufficient. After staggering a few times, he quickly stabilized his body.

But Joly took the opportunity to speed up, used his body to eat the ball away from the opponent, broke through the double defense, and went straight into the penalty area.

Gu Ran had no time to get entangled with Gavin, and hurriedly chased after Jolly! Gavin followed Gu Ran closely like a dog-skin plaster, grinning and saying, "Boy, welcome to the real Rugby Golden Fleece!"

Gu Ran ignored Gavin and sprinted quickly, leaving Gavin three steps behind!

The Golden Fleece's winger found an opportunity to cross the ball from the right, and Jolly was already in position -

Gu Ran rushed over quickly and blocked Qiao Li with his body, preventing Qiao Li from easily catching the ball sideways.

Qiao Li was directly blocked by Gu Ran!

Rusty took the opportunity to rush over and headed the ball out of the sideline! "Oh!!!!"

Rusty roared fiercely, bumped chests with Gu Ran, and high-fived him! The defensive coordination between the two was seamless! This scene of joint cooperation once again ignited the whole audience! In this wave of offense and defense, the two sides fought evenly!

But in reality, the Bucks Steelhorns are better.

You know, the Golden Fleece team has half of its main players and has just replaced two aces with sufficient physical strength. It already has a great advantage in overall strength. It is normal for the Golden Fleece team to break through the defense of the Bucks Steel Horns team.

However, Jolly's intention to receive the ball was completely understood by Gu Ran, and his sprint positioning was very precise, which made it impossible for the Golden Fleece's main ace captain to perform at all!

This time, the two sides seemed to be tied, but in fact, Jolly and the Golden Fleece Team had lost! Jolly glared at Gu Ran fiercely and turned to run.

Light~ New blue bubbles drop under Jolly's feet: Slide and celebrate +1.

……Rubbish.

At this time, there was less than 10 minutes left in the regular game time.

The physical fitness of the Bucks Steelhorns declined severely in the extremely intense physical confrontation.

At this time, Coach Carter also started to make substitutions.

Center forward Glider was replaced - Glider's performance today was still okay, but the opponent's defense was indeed very strong, especially the defense against high-altitude balls, so Glider's advantage was difficult to play out.

The right midfielder Blind Man was substituted, and Hua Luo was also substituted - when the Golden Fleece Team was unable to beat the left side guarded by Gu Ran, the right midfielder and right back positions became the hardest hit areas by the Golden Fleece Team's bombardment, and it was obvious that Blind Man and Hua Luo could no longer hold on physically.

The new players who came on were a defensive midfielder, a right winger and a right back.

The Bucks Steelhorns' formation also changed to a 4231 formation with a single striker and two defensive midfielders.

Coach Carter's meaning was very clear. The last ten minutes or so were all about defense, retreating across the board, and withstanding the fierce attack from the Golden Fleece.

The Bucks are a weak team! When they are leading, they must clearly understand their position and focus on defense!

While the players were being substituted, Gu Ran blew a sip at the grass in front of Gavin, who had just deliberately pushed him from behind, and started trash-talking: "It turns out that the real Rugby Golden Fleece is just like this."

"Fuck..." Gavin's nose was about to be crooked! Light~ A blue skill bubble fell from Gavin's body.

Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and glanced up, "Ankle Crusher +1."

What the hell is this skill? Kung Fu football skill?

It seems that Gavin is a very insidious guy. He specializes in attacking ankles and has even trained it into a skill!

You really have to be careful when facing this guy.

——Gu Ran simply ignored the blue bubble and quickly returned to his position.

Gu Ran would never pick up this kind of skill.

The essence of sports is competition within the rules, and definitely not brutal harm outside the rules.

People like Gavin who rely on dirty tricks will get into trouble sooner or later.

Gavin followed Gu Ran all the way. Wherever Gu Ran ran, Gavin followed.

Gavin’s mission on the court was to keep a close eye on Gu Ran.

It has to be said that this strategy of the Golden Fleece Team did have a certain impact on Gu Ran's movement on the left side.

Up to this point in the game, Gu Ran only had a quarter of his physical strength left at most, while Gavin had just come on the field and was full of energy.

Also, Gavin's moves were dirty.

There were several times when Gu Ran started quickly after getting the ball, and Gavin came up and pulled Gu Ran's arm. When he couldn't grab it, he would directly step on Gu Ran's ankle and slide tackle.

Faced with this dirty trick that could cause injury, Gu Ran could only choose to stop suddenly and dodge, and the Bucks Steel Horns team's breakthrough on the left side was immediately suppressed.

If the physical fitness of both sides is the same, Gu Ran will not be afraid of Gavin's dirty tricks at all.

It’s a pity that Gu Ran’s current physical strength is not enough, and all his attribute states have declined accordingly.

Next, we still have to focus on improving our physical fitness.

But Gu Ran took into consideration that the game was about to end, and using physical points at this time would be difficult to compete with Gavin's physical condition when he just came on the court.

It would be better to wait and see if there are other opportunities.

The situation on the field changes rapidly.

The tension between the players on both sides became stronger.

Coach Carter, who was standing on the sidelines directing the game, also noticed that Gu Ran was being deliberately targeted by Gavin, and immediately asked Gu Ran and Ximei to switch positions.

The Bucks Steelhorns are still leading in the score. The more times come to this, the more they must protect the team's core ace Gu Ran and not let him get hurt.

However, after the change of positions, as soon as Gu Ran approached the center line, Gavin immediately followed.

This stuff is really disgusting...

The fourth official raised the card and 6 minutes of injury time were added.

In the 92nd minute of the game, the Golden Fleece team pressed forward with all their might. The ball was passed from the right side to the penalty area. There was a melee in the penalty area. The ball first flew to the middle of the penalty area, then was headed to the back of the penalty area, and then was hit in front of the goal.

In the chaos, Jolly of the Golden Fleece team took the ball with his back, turned halfway, withstood the rust and the pull of the painter, and shot at a small angle! The goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus roared and jumped!

The football hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal!

The ball went in! The score was changed to 2:2! The Golden Fleece team celebrated wildly in the penalty area.

The Southampton students in the stands booed wildly!

A top-tier team didn't score until injury time, how could they celebrate? However, this goal did show the strength of the Rugby Golden Fleece on the offensive end.

Jolly, as a forward, practically ate the two center backs of the Bucks Steelhorns alive and forced a shot.

Jolly's personal ability is indeed very strong. For a semi-professional player to play in this kind of amateur high school competition is almost like a dimensionality reduction attack.

This goal also allowed Jolly to jump to first place in the national tournament's scorer standings.

Coach Carter on the sidelines applauded and comforted the players of the Bucks Steelhorns.

From a tactical point of view, a draw is acceptable.

As long as they can hold on for the last 3 minutes, the Bucks Steelhorns can qualify as the second in Group E! At this time, Qiao Li deliberately ran in front of Gu Ran and laughed contemptuously: "Did you see that, Chinaman? I can tie the score in 15 minutes. If I was there for the whole game, I would kick the hell out of you stinky country bumpkins! We tied this game, but don't think you are on the same level as us. That's what our coach told you to do!"

With that, Jolly ran away.

Fuck! The game isn't over yet! Gu Ran ran directly to Ximei's side, "Ximei, let's switch positions again."

Ximei was stunned. "Wait, Gu, the coach said..."

"If the coach starts to scold after the game, let him scold me." Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "This kick-off is our last chance to attack! Do you want those golden-wool piglets to leave Southampton laughing?"

Ximei's teeth were chattering. "Okay! Gu! I'll listen to you! Let's get rid of them!"

The other Bucks Steelhorns players also gathered around: "That's right! Go get them!"

"This is our home ground! It's not their turn to be arrogant!"

Gu Ran's blood boiled and he roared loudly: "Steel Horns of the Bucks—Fight to the end!!!"

Gu Ran directly changed the slogan of the Bucks Steel Horns! It was no longer "Invincible", but "Fight to the End"! The morale of the Bucks Steel Horns was instantly boosted, and the whole team shouted: "Bucks Steel Horns! Fight to the End!"

The Southampton students in the stands were prepared to accept a draw, but when they saw the Bucks Steelhorns players raising their arms and shouting, they immediately responded crazily! Everyone in the stands stood up, even the players on the Bucks Steelhorns bench stood up, and thousands of throats shouted at the same time: "Bucks Steelhorns! Fight to the end!"

The students of Southampton Private School have made their attitude clear: even until the last second, they will fight to the end with the Bucks Steelers!

Coach Carter took a deep breath and covered his pounding heart: "These kids, are they crazy...Hahahaha!"

Then, Coach Carter also shouted passionately: "Bucks Steel Horns! Fight to the end!"

All the Bucks players instantly felt full of strength!

The Bucks Steelhorns kicked off from the center circle.

The moment Gu Ran kicked off, he sprinted directly to the left! The Golden Fleece team's defensive players immediately blocked the left side, and Gavin even reached out and pulled Gu Ran's arm.

But Gu Ran was extremely fast and didn't give any defensive player a chance to touch him.

Minato got the ball in the middle and pushed forward to the Golden Fleece half! Almost all the players of the Bucks Steel Horns pressed forward to support! The ball was first passed back to Bread, who then passed it to Ximei who was crossing the half on the left. Ximei then found an opportunity to pass it to Minato in the middle...

During this process, Gu Ran patiently sprinted back and forth on the left side! As the Bucks Steel Horns pressed forward, the Golden Fleece team's central defense pressure became greater and greater. The Golden Fleece defensive players who had previously assisted Gu Ran returned to the central road to block the water door's sudden shot! ——In these last two minutes, the first-tier Golden Fleece team demonstrated their most powerful zone defense ability! Most of the Golden Fleece team's defensive players retreated to the penalty area, and the entire penalty area was almost like an iron barrel! At this time, Gu Ran suddenly sprinted from the left side, cutting inside the top of the penalty area while reaching out to the water door.

Minato immediately retreated to a safe position with the ball and pushed it towards Gu Ran!

Gavin desperately chased after Gu Ran! There was always a gap of three body lengths between the two! Gavin wanted to pull Gu Ran, but he couldn't! There was only one minute left in the game! The referee was already looking at the clock! After Gu Ran controlled the ball, he was ready to dribble into the penalty area -

Gavin made a fierce sliding tackle from behind, aiming at Gu Ran's left ankle! Gu Ran was well prepared for Gavin's "ankle crusher"!

The moment Gavin fell to the ground and made a tackle, Gu Ran immediately ignored the ball and quickly pulled back his left leg! —— He must not get hurt!!!

Bang! Gavin's raised toes rubbed against Gu Ran's left leg guard! Gu Ran lost his balance and fell to the ground!

There were heart-wrenching screams and cries in the stands!

Coach Carter's face turned red and his heart almost stopped beating!

Teacher Maria was already clutching the first aid kit, ready to rush onto the field! The game was interrupted, and the players of the Bucks Steelhorns rushed up one after another. Rusty angrily confronted Gavin, who was half a head taller than him!

The two sides are on the verge of a fight and may start at any time! Beep, beep, beep!

The referee blew the whistle to signal both sides to calm down! At the same time, he called the team doctor to come in!

Teacher Maria and another school doctor rushed into the scene.

"Gu! How are you?"

Teacher Maria asked anxiously while carefully feeling Gu Ran's ankle.

Gu Ran shook his head, "Teacher Maria, I'm fine."

At this time, Minato also ran over and asked with concern: "How is it?"

Gu Ran said, "It's okay, really. I retracted my legs quickly and he just rubbed my shin guard."

As he spoke, Gu Ran took out his shin guards and took off his socks.

Sure enough, apart from some redness, swelling and broken skin on the left leg, there was nothing serious.

Teacher Maria gently pinched the muscles and bones around Gu Ran's redness and swelling, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine. "I was scared to death just now! But the skin is broken, so it still needs to be bandaged!"

Gu Ran: ...

"No need, Teacher Maria."

Teacher Maria said angrily: "Be obedient! Be good!"

As she spoke, Teacher Maria skillfully and gently bandaged Gu Ran's broken skin and applied medicine.

Another school doctor standing nearby said: I think I can go back first...

The other side.

"Mr. Referee, I admit that my kick was hard, but in fact, I didn't kick him hard at all. I just touched him with my toes."

Facing the referee who was about to give him a card, Gavin tried hard to explain.

However, the referee did not agree with Gavin's statement.

Sliding tackle from behind is a very dangerous action, and the referee saw it clearly. Jiaming was clearly going for the person, not the ball, and his studs were visible when he slid.

This is a very dangerous technical foul! The referee directly showed Gavin a red card! And awarded the Bucks Steel Horns a direct free kick!

Gavin spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, and other players of the Golden Fleece team surrounded the referee and begged for mercy.

The referee insisted on the penalty and ignored it!

The entire Bucks Steel Corner Stadium was boiling in an instant!

The referee's decision was very fair!

What made the whole audience excited was that Gu Ran stood up again with the help of Teacher Maria! Gu Ran was fine!

Coach Carter finally relaxed.

The head coach of the Golden Fleece team, Wilkinson, was squatting on the sidelines with his head in his hands, his face full of anxiety.

Gavin's red card was really irrational! The game is about to end, why the hell are you tackling Gu Ran at this time? You just let him force his way in. The penalty area is full of defensive players. Can he protect the ball?

Even if he can really protect the ball, there is still the goalkeeper! Gavin, what the hell are you crazy about! This is it! Direct red card, suspended for three games!

The next time Gavin can play, it will be in the final! The round of 16, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, all missed! Without a ace main defensive midfielder, Rugby Golden Fleece will be very passive in the following games! It will be very difficult to play!

If I had known this would happen, I should have insisted on not replacing the main players in the second half!

Wilkinson really wanted to rant at Gavin! He really wanted to smash a mineral water bottle on Gavin's face! Gavin bowed his head and walked off the court with resentment, ignoring Wilkinson and other Golden Fleece players, and walked directly back to the player tunnel.

This guy can definitely drop bubbles, but Gu Ran is now more than ten meters away from him, so it is not displayed.

Even within the pickup range, this guy's skills are probably ankle crusher or something like that.

After Gavin was sent off, teacher Maria and another team doctor also left the field urgently.

The game resumes.

There was less than 1 minute left in injury time.

The Bucks Steelhorns also had a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt.

As long as this free kick is taken, the game will be over.

This means that regardless of whether this free kick goes in or not, the Bucks Steelers will qualify from the group stage.

The Southampton students in the stands have already started celebrating!

The team song "There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran" was sung again! The Golden Fleece team formed a human wall in their own penalty area with depressed faces.

Bread from the Bucks Steelhorns stood at the penalty spot for the free kick.

The free kick was on the left side outside the top of the penalty area, about 25 meters away from the goal.

From this distance, you can take a direct free kick!

At this time, Gu Ran walked up to Bread, turned his back to the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Bread, give me this free kick."
