0:2……

Damn it...

Are the Milwaukee Bucks really a weak team? Why did they beat us 0:2 in the first half?

Why is our defense so vulnerable in front of Gu Ran? What on earth are these good-for-nothings from the Sanjiaohe team doing? Do they know how to play football?

"Fake Delta River!"

"Fuck football!"

"Frank Lampard!"

Some boys at St Paul's Boys' School lost control of their emotions and even cursed the Chelsea superstar.

Lampard, who was standing on the sidelines, was also in disbelief! When he saw Gu Ran's kick, Lampard was completely numb! This, this, this...

Why, why does this kick look so familiar? Why do I feel like I can do that, too?

Wait! I can do that!

But how come this kid Gu Ran also knows this?

This kid Gu Ran is exactly like me when I was young!

No, no, no! I shouldn't say he looks exactly like me when I was young. I should say -

He looks exactly like my dad when he was young! I have never played as a left-back, but when my dad was young, he was the best left-back for the England national team!

Moreover, my dad often scores goals with long-range shots.

This kid Gu Ran is exactly like my dad, whether in terms of position, speed, or his arrow-piercing shooting!

(No nonsense here, Lampard's father, Frank Lampard, is a Hammers legend and a very famous left-back in British history. In addition, Lampard's uncle is Redknapp, a very awesome and underestimated "anti-tactical" coach.) That's right, this kid Gu Ran doesn't look like me, but like my dad!

Oh my God! Although this idea sounds a bit crazy, Gu Ran's kick just now was really shocking!

Others might just see the beauty and domineering nature of the kick, but I saw the style of my father when he was young!

Moreover, I bet that judging from Gu Ran's calm handling of these two shots, he has definitely shot before! This guy must be a veteran!

A B2B defender like him is really rare after my dad! Why is Gu Ran on the opposite team? Why am I not angry about his goal, but I admire him? Why do I have no idea how to limit Gu Ran now?

Being a coach is so difficult.

——Lampard covered his face.

"Gu Ran! Awesome! Awesome!"

"Hahaha! Why are the boys from St. Paul silent?"

"Is there any need to ask? Gu must have made them speechless!"

The players on the visiting team's bench were so happy that they were almost arrogant!

Because they do have the capital to be arrogant! Gu Ran's kick was too domineering and too unsolvable! Who wouldn't love this kind of clean, irrational long-range shot? What 's more, the score of 0:2 was the first time that the Bucks Steelhorns had a two-goal advantage in the first half since the group stage! This was a knockout match!

The Milwaukee Bucks now have one foot on the threshold of the top eight in the country!

Theoretically, as long as the Milwaukee Steelers can maintain this score, they will tie the best record in the school's history!

This will be a battle that will go down in school history! Coach Carter punched wildly and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Gu! Well done! Hahaha! That's right! Gu, you are exactly like me when I was young! Exactly the same!"

Lampard on the other side: ??? Hey, what level are you?

Anne in the visiting team's stands was jumping excitedly like a little rabbit, with goose bumps all over her body due to excitement.

Anne covered her heaving chest and muttered to herself.

At this moment, on the green field, after Gu Ran yelled at goalkeeper Eddie, he turned and ran towards Lampard without waiting for his teammates to rush over to hug him and celebrate.

That's right, hitting Lampard is the most important thing! Heavy artillery long-range shot: The cloud-piercing arrow is so useful, we must take the opportunity to hit Lampard a few more times! Light~ Gu Ran just ran three meters away, and the goalkeeper Eddie behind him dropped a full blue skill bubble.

Gu Ran didn't even look back.

No matter how good the goalkeeper's skills are, Gu Ran is not interested.

When passing by Butler, Gu Ran took the opportunity to glance at the blue skill bubble that Butler had dropped before: Interception +1.

Ha! This one is not bad either! Second try! Gu Ran immediately focused his mind and collected the blue bubble dropped by Butler.

——Today, there are 3 pickup progress left.

Gu Ran rushed to Lampard in one breath.

Eye to eye…

Lampard's mouth trembled slightly, and he screamed madly in his heart: Don't look at me! Even if you kick the Cloud Piercing Arrow like my dad, I will never admit it! Absolutely! No! Don't even think about it! Gu Ran wondered: Why does Lampard feel like crying? He can't stand it after I scored two goals against him? No way? Why hasn't the bubble dropped yet?

Gu Ran didn't know how to start to force Lampard to do it, but fortunately, his teammates all came over at this time. In front of Lampard, they excitedly pressed Gu Ran under them! Gu Ran: ...

Shit! Are you guys really here to help?

The teammates happily stacked up and sang in unison: "There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran, and Chelsea's Lampard was knocked down by him again. There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran, and Chelsea's Lampard was knocked down by him again! Chelsea's Lampard! He knocked him down again!!!"

The lyrics are simple and crude, not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

Lampard looked at this group of young people and was so angry that he wanted to hit them!

Light~ A full blue bubble formed under Lampard's feet.

Gu Ran immediately focused his mind and checked:

Man of Steel: Tin Man +1.

Holy shit…

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!

Gu Ran was ecstatic:

This wave is so cool!

Tin Man! This is a passive skill for physical injuries! That's right, Lampard's greatest feature, in addition to his long-range shots and magic lamp guidance, is his almost invulnerable body! This is Lampard's most amazing thing!

As far as I can remember, Lampard was only injured when he was 17 years old at West Ham United. After that, he moved to Chelsea and has hardly been injured since then.

Lampard is the midfielder with the most caps (for his country) and the most Premier League goals. He is also the player with the most appearances in European competitions (67 games), the most consecutive league appearances (164 games), and the most official matches in a single season (62 games).

Lampard is almost always present! In the Premier League, which is a physical confrontation and often has all kinds of rough fouls, he is definitely a tin man! Chelsea's current head coach is Ancelotti, and Ancelotti is a head coach who likes to use a set of players to death. Lampard's high attendance rate is also the key to Chelsea's stable performance! Under Ancelotti's strategy of using players to death, Lampard is still almost uninjured! As a B2B midfielder, he needs to fight with the opponent almost every moment, but Lampard can still ensure that he will not be injured!

This is the passive skill that all players dream of!

Injury is the player’s number one enemy.

There are too many talented players whose upward path has been cut short by an injury.

The most famous example is Ronaldo, the alien Ronaldo.

Aliens are not the kings of the game, but healthy aliens are truly gods from heaven.

Another example is Kaka. In his prime, Kaka was known as the Son of Wind. His off-ball running speed was not fast, but his dribbling and sprinting speed was absolutely unmatched at the time, until he injured his knee.

Also, Ronaldo's speed of breaking through the wing was originally the fastest. After he was injured in 2013, his speed has obviously declined a lot - otherwise, Ronaldo could have been even more awesome, although he was already very awesome.

There are also domestic examples, such as King Dong and Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo participated in the 2008 Olympics before he had fully recovered from his meniscus and cruciate ligament injuries, thus missing the best time for treatment...

Therefore, injuries are really the enemy that players fear the most.

Especially for speed players, once they are injured, it is basically impossible to recover their original peak speed.

Either fall or transform.

And now, Lampard, the "Tin Man of Chelsea", actually dropped a passive skill called "Iron Man: Tin Man +1"! This is definitely a super super super best skill! This skill is better than all the star skills that Gu Ran had obtained before combined!

With this skill, if you upgrade it to +9, you can basically be like Lampard, and you will hardly get hurt even when facing all kinds of rough aggression on the field! You can even achieve an almost full attendance rate!

How could Gu Ran not be excited! Gu Ran wanted to throw Lampard to the ground and thank him! Of course, Gu Ran did not do that.

Gu Ran quickly gathered his thoughts and collected this unparalleled blue skill bubble through the air! The blue bubble turned into a ray of bright light, winding and swimming in a form that only Gu Ran could see, and finally merged into Gu Ran's forehead! Suddenly, Gu Ran felt that his whole body was glowing!

At this moment, Gu Ran felt that the bones and muscles of his entire body had been fine-tuned and transformed, and even his nerves had been strengthened! When he was being stacked up just now, Gu Ran was worried that his knees and ankles would be pressed, but now he didn't feel any discomfort at all! This is the Tin Man!

"Cool!!!"

Although he was covered in big men, Gu Ran couldn't help but howled with excitement! The teammates who were pressing on Gu Ran were all shocked by Gu Ran.

...Gu, so you like being pressed? Gu Ran happily got up from the grass and quickly ran to his position on the left side.

There, there are two blue skill bubbles - the bubbles will not last long.

And he has already obtained Lampard's three star skills.

Today’s harvest is absolutely super awesome. I hope the remaining two picking opportunities will be even better!

The Bucks Steelers players who were still celebrating happily on the court were all stunned when they saw Gu Ran running away.

Captain Mianbao was the first to react. He said with admiration, "...Gu is really trying too hard. We are clearly leading by two goals now, but he is still so anxious to get into position. We have to work hard too!"

"Yes! We have to work hard too!"

"Come on! The game isn't over yet! Let's defeat Sanjiaohe!"

“Ooooooh!”

The entire Bucks Steel Horns team was excited and ran back to their positions!

Seeing this scene, Coach Carter on the sidelines suddenly felt like crying, "My little guys... have finally grown up and become sensible!"

Gu Ran ran to the left side and concentrated his mind to check the bubbles.

The first bubble is dropped by the right guard: Kayak Direction Control +1.

...It's you, the one who's not doing his job! Gu Ran simply ignored it.

The second bubble is dropped by right winger Rosser: Pull Elbow +1.

Depend on.

What the hell, committing fouls has become a skill.

You can't learn this! Gu Ran simply ignored the bubble.

All in all, this wave was pretty good. I got a second brush and a super awesome Tin Man skill.

Gu Ran looked back with satisfaction and was immediately stunned.

I saw that all my teammates had already taken their positions, with murderous looks on their faces.

What the hell?

Gu Ran was suddenly surprised: How come these guys are more active than me? No, no, I have to be more active!

Gu Ran took a deep breath and prepared himself for another sprint.

The players of the Triangle River team were all confused: What is the other side trying to do?

Before the kick-off, the referee called Triangle River right winger Rosser to his front and prepared to make a card.

Although Rosser's previous actions did not hurt Gu Ran, it was still a very bad act of revenge and he must be given a card.

Rosser explained to the referee that it was the hateful Chinese man who fouled him first and he was so angry that he acted on impulse.

However, the referee ignored Roser's explanation and directly showed Roser a yellow card.

Rosser spread his hands with a look of annoyance to show his acceptance.

If Gu Ran ran up to Rosser and smiled at him at this time, Rosser would definitely break through the blue bubble.

But Gu Ran didn't plan to waste his picking progress on a dirty guy like Rosser.

Soon, the game resumed.

The Triangle River team, which lost two goals, had a somewhat disorganized offense.

The Bucks Steelers are getting more and more rhythmic, and their offensive and defensive ideas are becoming clearer and clearer.

As soon as the Bucks Steelers got the ball, they gave it to Gu Ran.

After Gu Ran got the ball, he would dribble through when he had the chance. If there was no chance, he would not force it, but choose to make a long pass to the players in the frontcourt and let them fight for their chances.

The Bucks Steelhorns' offense and defense were very solid, and the compatibility and stability of the 442 formation were fully demonstrated under Gu Ran's leadership.

For the rest of the first half, the two teams fought around the midfield and the flanks.

Both teams consumed a lot of physical energy.

Judging from the surface data, the Triangle River team still has the advantage in ball possession.

But when I looked at the score - 0:2.

The Triangle River team became more and more impatient as the game went on.

On several occasions, their ace captain Butler passed the ball into the Bucks Steelhorns' penalty area, but their center was not very competitive and could not hold the ball every time. Even if he occasionally held the ball, his shot was like a clearance.

However, this center forward had a good mentality and smiled happily after every clearance.

...He plays happy football, even though his name is not Sterling.

Lampard on the sidelines held his heart and his low blood pressure was cured.

After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the first half of the game ended!

Amidst the boos from the students of St. Paul's Boys' School, the players of the Triangle River team left the field with numb expressions.

The Bucks Steelers left the court with their heads held high, taking a 2-goal advantage.

“Gu! Gu! Gu——————”

Seeing Gu Ran about to walk into the player tunnel, Annie jumped around like a rabbit in the away team's stands, afraid that Gu Ran couldn't see her.

Gu Ran smiled and ran to Annie, and asked across the one-person-high stand, "Annie, are you okay?"

Gu Ran was more worried that Annie would feel bored sitting alone in the away team's stands because she didn't understand football and would then have negative emotions.

Annie said excitedly, "Gu! I'm almost dying of joy! I just now realized that watching a football game is so enjoyable! Really! I swear, I've never felt so free of burden in my life! Gu! This is all because of you! It's you who made me feel the best I've ever felt! I feel like you've hit places in my body that have never been touched before, again and again!"

Holy shit…

No, my goddess, I'm definitely not talking dirty! It must be my young body that's acting up again!

Gu Ran couldn't help but swallow subconsciously, "Um... well, You are welcome."

Although Annie was wearing a large sun hat and large sunglasses on her nose, Gu Ran could still see the sparkling moisture in Annie's eyes.

Annie took out a handkerchief with the scent of her own perfume and leaned out from the more than one-meter-high slope of the stands. "Gu, you must be exhausted, right? Let me wipe it for you."

Anne's tight white shirt was pressed against the slope, and the incandescent light at the collar was about to burst out.

Gu Ran can see everything from this angle.

Gu Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes full of... worry that his white shirt would get dirty.

Annie stretched out her fair arms to wipe Gu Ran's sweat, and then asked in astonishment: "Huh? How come it keeps getting more the more you wipe it?"

nonsense……

If I keep rubbing like this, I will not only sweat...

And drooling.

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Annie, thank you. But I have to go to the locker room now, because I still have the second half to play."

Annie was stunned. "Oh! There's a second half! I thought you guys had already won!"

Gu Ran: ...

Sister, although you have two balls, you really don’t understand balls.

Anne smiled happily and said, "Great, this way I can have another 40 minutes of pleasure!"

Gu Ran corrected him: "It's 45 minutes - if you don't count the extra time."

When Annie heard that she could have five more minutes of fun, she became even happier. "Ahhh! That's great! If only a game could last 120 minutes! Then I could have two full hours of fun!"

Two hours doesn't sound like too much to ask.

I'm really talking about playing football!!! Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Well, Annie, I really have to go to the locker room, my coach and teammates are waiting for me."

Annie quickly said, "Yeah, go ahead! Come on!"

Gu Ran took a last concerned look at Annie's collar before he hardened his heart and ran into the player tunnel.

It’s me as expected!

He could actually pull out his eyes! ——Gu Ran secretly admired himself.

Well, let me be frank. I like Messi and I like Ronaldo. I like any good player, but I'm sorry, there is only one player I truly love in my heart: Ronaldo.
