The Angel Wings' defensive players were already weak and not well prepared, so they couldn't catch up at all! Gu Ran rushed forward with the ball while looking up at the situation on the court -
3 vs 2 in the frontcourt! Angel Wings only has two defenders! On their side, there are two masters of spitting cakes, Sissy and Glider! At this moment, one of the central defenders of Angel Wings is marking Glider, while the other central defender, Tyas, is desperately rushing towards Gu Ran to intercept -
The sissy created an open space on the left side of the penalty area, while the glider tried desperately to get into the small penalty area!
The glider is too far forward and on the offside line! Can't give it to him!
But the purpose of this wave is that the opponent does not have time to deploy defense, and cannot wait for Taias to rush up to tangle and delay the rhythm!
Gu Ran passed the ball to Sissy without hesitation! Tyas quickly raised his foot to intercept, but his leg was still far from the ball!
Tyas only regrets that his legs are not 40 meters long!
The sissy stopped the ball safely on the left side of the penalty area - there was too much rain on the ball and it was too slippery, plus Gu Ran's kick was quite powerful, so the sissy really used all his strength to stop the ball! After the sissy stopped the ball, he took small steps to adjust slightly, and then kicked the ball directly from about 15 meters away from the goal!
This is the best shooting position for sissies! The football was powerful, with tearing water splashing, whistling straight into the upper left corner of the goal!
The Angel Wings goalkeeper reacted quickly, jumping up and holding the ball with one hand.
Bang! The rain-soaked football hit the gloves of the Angel Wings goalkeeper and flew out of the baseline! "NO——————"
More than 2,200 students and parents in the stands all held their heads in pain!
This was the best defensive counterattack opportunity for the Bucks Steelhorns in the second half! This counterattack, starting with Rusty and ending with Gu Ran's sprint, was extremely passionate! Extremely passionate!
If this ball can be scored, the victory will be basically secured! But... this fucking finishing kick!
In fact, if the sissy had held the ball steady and waited for Gu Ran to pass Tyas before passing it back to Gu Ran...
The sissy also knelt down on the ground in self-blame, lying in the grass and water for a long time, not wanting to get up and face it.
But fortunately, there is still a corner kick.
The Bucks Steelhorns have also been practicing set-piece corner kick tactics recently! The Bucks Steelhorns players regained their spirits and quickly took their positions in the Angel Wings penalty area.
The goalkeeper of Angel Wings also quickly arranged the players to defend at the front and back goal posts.
Gu Ran walked to the left corner flag area with the wet football. The students and parents in the stands cheered for Gu Ran crazily! Gu Ran lifted his red and white jersey with an extremely cold expression and wiped the football clean with it.
His six-pack abs and waistline were inadvertently revealed while he was wiping.
There was a sound of crazy people slurping in the stands!
Several girls fainted!
Gu Ran was concentrating on the positioning in the restricted area——
The positions of both sides were very disorganized, with the sissy standing outside the front point, while Watergate and the Glider were crowded in the middle of the penalty area.
The players of Angel Wings adopted a man-marking tactic.
Central defender Taias followed the glider closely, and the entire middle of the penalty area was filled with people.
Gu Ran then raised his left hand and made a simple gesture towards the glider.
This is one of the strategies for corner kick tactical drills!
The glider immediately understood and moved towards the position in front of the goal.
Tyas immediately followed, staring at the glider.
After all, the glider is tall and has a strong ability in heading the ball.
Especially since Gu Ran made a special gesture to the glider, his intention became even more obvious.
Gu Ran bent down and placed the ball in the corner area carefully.
The position of the football nozzle is facing you.
The students and parents in the stands held their breath, not daring to distract Gu Ran from his free throws.
Some students and parents who were not able to endure psychologically closed their eyes, put their hands together, and prayed devoutly in their hearts.
Gu Ran concentrated his mind and calmly activated "Golden Right Foot: Accurate Long Pass"! Although this skill is only at +1 level, it is a star skill from Beckham after all! Combined with Gu Ran's own basketball IQ and the long-rehearsed tactics of the Bucks Steel Horns, it is enough to deal with the current situation!
Gu Ran took small steps to help him run, and the inside of his arch of his foot fiercely kicked the position of the football's air nozzle! Bang! The football flew up quickly, like a bayonet stabbing out in an instant, cutting through the rapid rain curtain -
The next moment, the sissy and the glider who were ambushing in front of the goal jumped up at the same time, and Tyas who was defending them obviously jumped higher than both of them -
but!
Tyas didn't touch the ball!
Not only Taias, all the players at the front point did not touch the ball! The football flew high over the front point! This is not a front point corner kick! Gu Ran's gesture to the glider is a tactical trap!
——At this moment, the scouts from the small club in the main stand also saw the clues and gasped repeatedly——Is this the kind of football IQ and footwork that an amateur high school student can have? ! ——Tyas's face was also full of horror, and he turned his head to look at the back post before his feet even touched the ground! ——The goalkeeper of Angel Wings stood at the midpoint, jumped high, and held the moon with one hand!
Didn't catch it! The football almost brushed the goalkeeper's fingertips, passed the middle of the small penalty area, and quickly fell to the back point!
This kick has no left and right arcs, but it has a parabolic upward and downward arc! Although it can't reach the drop of Ronaldo's elevator ball, it already has a little bit of that flavor!
The goalkeeper of Angel Wings has lost his position and can do nothing about this ball!
At the back post, a burly red and white figure took a running start and jumped up, fiercely knocking away two unprepared Angel Wings defenders, facing the precisely guided football, and with a lion's head shake, the football was powerfully shot into the net!
The ball went in!!! The 2,200-plus students and parents in the stands went crazy instantly!!! The iron stand was about to collapse!
This was the goal that sealed the victory! The one who scored the header was...Rusty!!! Rusty excitedly ran around the field, crying and shouting at the top of his lungs to vent his emotions: "Dad! I scored a goal! I scored a goal! Did you see it? Dad! Dad! Dad!!! Ahhhhhhh————————"
Rusty was looking for his dad all over the field! Before he could find his dad, he was thrown to the ground by his excited teammates and pressed down hard!
Gu Ran clenched his fists, stood in the corner flag area, facing the students and parents in the corner flag stands, and roared passionately to the sky!
The super-high feeling of adrenaline and dopamine mixed together and completely exploded in Gu Ran's blood vessels and brain!
——At this moment, I am the king of Southampton High School!
All the students and parents in the stands roared along with Gu Ran!
Even the heavy rain in the sky was shaken by this shocking momentum and its pace was reduced!
This goal was so exciting! Not only was the tactical intention brilliant, nor was it just Gu Ran's precise cross that was brilliant, but it was also this never-give-up spirit that burned in his blood!
The score on the scoreboard was changed to: Bucks Steelhorns 3:1 Angel Wings! The second half of the game was too up and down!
Many people in the stands have already burst into tears!
Those old guys all had red and swollen eyes!
They have waited for this moment for too long!
The top four in the country are about to be won! This is what several generations have been waiting for!
The game was stopped for 7 minutes. Even with this long stoppage time, the remaining time of the game was only 10 minutes! For the first time in history, the Bucks Steel Horns are within reach of the top four in the country!
Yes! They are now only a thin layer of stockings away from the national top four! Even the scouts from the small clubs in the main stand nodded and applauded the Bucks Steelhorns!
As outsiders, they were all impressed by the spirit of the Bucks Steelhorns!
Emenalo quickly changed his evaluation of Gu Ran in his scout notes:
[Gu Ran has fully demonstrated his dominance on the court. Although he has not reached the level of the first team in some aspects, God, he is only 17 years old! I think he plays football very passionately, and I even think his football IQ is ahead of this era! I mistakenly classified Gu Ran as a young player with "extremely high talent" before. I even mistakenly thought he was "the second Lampard". Now I must correct it. He is not the second Lampard. He is Gu Ran, a unique Gu Ran with his own playing style.
Watching Gu Ran play football on the spot, even a professional like me found it difficult to control my burning excitement.
I think he is a rare "genius" player. I think he is the kind of genius player who can create impossible miracles as long as the ball is at his feet.
I suggest that Chelsea should do their best to sign him to the youth team. I think we can even offer him a very high standard "Star of Hope" contract that only young players in the first team can have, and let the coaching staff customize a set of training programs for him.] At this time, the students and parents in the stands happily sang the song "There is a young and handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran. Next, he will invite you to taste the 40-meter-long crescent moon."
Lights, lights, lights, lights~ Bubbles of the Angel Wings players are falling all over the ground.
Gu Ran concentrated his thoughts and looked back -
The items dropped by other players were all rubbish, but this time, the blue skill bubble dropped by future star Rose was pretty good: Two Touches: Fried Meatballs +1!
This is a super practical dribbling skill! Rose is indeed a star with better skills in this young generation! The two-touch dribbling skill includes many moves, such as the well-known Marseille turn, fried meatballs, and Ronaldo's dribbling dribbling, all of which belong to the two-touch technique.
The Marseille turn is Zidane's classic move.
Fried meatballs is Laudrup's classic move - of course, many people think it is Iniesta's move, but it is not.
It was Law who created the extraordinary technique of two touches: deep-fried meatballs.
Iniesta is the reformer and promoter of fried meatballs.
In fact, in the entire Spanish football world, there is almost no player who does not know the extraordinary skill of frying meatballs.
This dribbling technique itself is not difficult. The specific movements are like frying meatballs, passing the ball quickly between your feet.
The real difficulty lies in how to apply this technology to a master level.
So, even though the fried meatballs were created by Laurent Koeman, Iniesta is the best fried meatball master in the world today.
Iniesta's fried meatball technique has definitely surpassed the master level above +9.
In fact, for players who grew up or played football in Spain, the fried meatball technique is not a high-end skill, but one of the necessary drizzling techniques.
This is not a racial advantage, nor does it mean that Spaniards are naturally more suitable for playing technical football. It actually has something to do with their football education policy.
In the UK, students basically play football on large outdoor fields, and they also play 11-a-side football.
In Spain and some other European countries, all their schools play five-a-side football - that's right, all schools below high school in Spain usually play five-a-side football.
Although 11-a-side and 5-a-side football are both football, they actually have completely different styles.
The length and width of the 5-a-side court limits long passes, making short passes the main method.
It's not that they play passing and controlling the ball just because they want to, nor is it that they play passing and controlling the ball just because they think they have good skills. It's because they have been playing five-a-side football since they were young - if they want to win, they have to improve short passes and ball control.
With nearly 30 years of youth five-a-side football training, the national team dared to determine the passing and controlling style of play in the past 20 years, ushering in the revival of the national team.
Chinese football learns from Britain, Spain, Germany, and Brazil. Sometimes it relies on physical strength, sometimes it relies on technology, and sometimes it relies on both physical strength and technology. In fact, it doesn't even understand the most fundamental reasons for their strength. They try to copy others but want to do the opposite.
...The five-star disadvantage is still very useful at critical moments.
The game is not over yet, there are less than 10 minutes left!
Now, the Bucks Steelhorns are leading by two goals, so there is no need to rush!
At this time, Coach Carter used substitutions to delay time.
Hua Luo, who had been troubled by Rose, was substituted first and replaced by a new right back.
The students and parents in the stands applauded Hua Luo. Although Hua Luo's performance today was not very good, it was already quite good that he could defend like this against Ross.
Hua Luo walked slowly off the field, clapping and thanking the students and parents as he walked.
He walked these few meters as if he was walking on a red carpet actress.
The parents in the stands clapped happily and praised the boy for being smart!
Angel Wings head coach Moritz appealed to the referee in an emotional manner. The referee immediately ran over and showed Hua Luo a yellow card.
Hua Luo then shrugged his shoulders and quickened his pace to leave the court.
After the substitution is completed, the game continues!
The Angel Wings quickly kicked off and continued to sprint towards the right side of the Bucks Steelhorns.
After Rose got the ball, he showed his star strength and passed the ball continuously on the wing! The Angel Wings team also pressed forward with all their strength under the on-the-spot command of their head coach Moritz!
Even the center back Tyas rushed into the Bucks Steelhorns' penalty area! With two goals behind, the Angel Wings team had no choice but to make a desperate attempt!
They had to score two goals in the 7 minutes of injury time to drag this semi-final knockout match into overtime! Only by dragging the game into overtime would they have a chance to turn defeat into victory!
The Angel Wings team hasn't given up yet!
92nd minute of the game:
Ross shook off the right-back who had just been substituted in, dribbled the ball to the baseline, and made a direct cross!
Taias, who was lying in ambush in the middle of the penalty area, jumped high to face the football - heading is his advantage!
Gu Ran held Taias's body and jumped up to head the ball!
Gu Ran Iron Man +2! Heading +2! Not afraid of Tyas at all!
Bang! The two people's heads collided! Gu Ran jumped higher and was in a better position to head the ball! Gu Ran was the first to head the ball out of his own penalty area!
Tyas's head was buzzing! He knelt on the grass for a long time without reacting!
This was a super super super crucial clearance!
Amid the roaring cheers of the entire crowd, Minato picked up the ball and immediately pulled it towards the left! The moment Gu Ran landed, he launched himself and rushed madly towards the middle! ! !
All the players of Angel Wings were dumbfounded!
Gu Ran’s fighting spirit is really terrifying!
In the Angel Wings team, several players could no longer run, and their spirits were in a state of collapse and despair, and they didn't even want to chase.
However, most of the Everton youth players were still desperately chasing back and intercepting! And the players of the Bucks Steel Horns were also desperately running to support!
Even though they were leading 3:1 and there were less than 5 minutes left in the game, they didn't relax at all! The students and parents in the stands were all excited, shouting "Break through, break through!" Shuimen encountered an interception on the left side and immediately passed the ball to Gu Ran.
The pass was a little slow - although the rain had lessened a lot now, there was still a lot of water on the field, which slowed down the speed of the ball and more or less affected the rolling path of the football.
Gu Ran ran too fast, so he could only stop quickly, turn around and retreat to get the ball.
This sudden stop and retreat not only consumed a lot of physical energy, but also delayed the time for the fast break.
If you don't have enough physical fitness, it will really affect your condition.
Moreover, the Bucks Steelhorns still have many, many problems.
After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately gritted his teeth and sprinted with the ball -
The defensive players of Angel Wings took the opportunity to catch up, and the central midfielder who had just come on the field rushed to Gu Ran from the side in the blink of an eye!
Gu Ran's physical strength has reached its limit, and he can no longer rely on his speed to defeat the central midfielder.
Seeing that the midfielder was about to charge, Gu Ran was very smart and chose not to engage in physical confrontation with him. Instead, he stopped suddenly and used a double touch: fried meatballs, passing the ball from the right foot to the left foot, and when the midfielder kicked the ball, he quickly passed it back to the right foot again, and then accelerated to sprint! Sudden stop acceleration +1 plus fried meatballs +1 plus five-star reverse foot +1, a perfect match!
The central midfielder of Angel Wings made a fierce side tackle, but was directly passed by Gu Ran! This was a perfect pass!
——In this game, Rose had performed many technical dribbling moves, while Gu Ran had previously relied on speed and physical confrontation to dribble past opponents. But this time, Gu Ran's dribbling moves were extremely micro-managed in the limited time and space! The details were all taken care of! It was as smooth and gorgeous as flowing water! And it was also very practical! Gu Ran's dribbling move was so impressive that it amazed the whole audience! Rose, who was rushing over to assist in defense, was stunned! All the scouts from the small clubs in the main stand stood up in amazement!
Emenalo's hand holding the pen couldn't help shaking, and he was shouting in his heart countless times: Genius! And a super super huge genius! I have to change my evaluation again and again - change it now! The midfielder who was passed was unwilling to give up, and when he fell to the ground and lost his balance, he directly stretched out his foot to trip Gu Ran!
Gu Ran immediately fell into the grass and water!
There was a cry of surprise at the scene! The more than 2,200 students and parents in the stands were immediately furious, and the entire iron frame stands and the steel fence of the stadium were shaking!
The players of the Bucks Steel Horns team rushed over aggressively and surrounded the central defender who tripped Gu Ran maliciously! Gu Ran is the core of the Bucks Steel Horns! He is also the god of Southampton High School!
If you dare to touch Gu Ran, you are courting death! Seeing that the Bucks Steelhorns players were about to take action, Gu Ran quickly gritted his teeth and stood up from the grass and water to stop those impulsive teammates.
Gu Ran yelled, "I'm fine! I'm really fine! There are only three minutes left and we can advance to the semi-finals! We must not get a red card at this time!"
The teammates calmed down immediately.
“That’s right!”
"Gu is right!"
"Listen to me, don't do anything!"
"We're about to make it to the top 4!"
"Gu, are you really okay?"
Gu Ran waved his hand, "It's really okay."
To be honest, the reason I tripped this time, besides the slippery ground, was mainly because I had really exhausted my physical strength.
Fortunately, I have the Tin Man +2 to protect me, so I won't get hurt from this level of fall.
The referee ran over panting, raised his hand to show a yellow card to the Angel Wings central midfielder, and awarded a free kick in the frontcourt to the Bucks Steel Horns.
The location of this free kick is right in front of the top of the arc, about 35 meters away from the goal.
The students and parents in the stands sang the song "There is a young and handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran. Next, he will invite you to taste the 40-meter-long crescent moon."
The Angel Wings goalkeeper began to set up the defensive wall.
Gu Ran bent down, tidied his rain-soaked football socks, and observed secretly: Although this free kick is far away, there is indeed a channel for a direct shot.
The rain has almost stopped.
There is wind in the venue, it is a tailwind and the wind speed is pretty good.
The most important thing is that the right side of the human wall formed by Angel Wings is a weak area! The Crescent Blade can directly kill through the weak area of the human wall!
The only problem is that 35 meters is really a bit far.
The last time Gu Ran used the Crescent Moon Saber, he was only 25 meters away from the goal.
It is now 10 meters farther than it was half a month ago.
Of course, in the past half month, Gu Ran's strength and free kick level have improved.
A personal rating of B can also slightly increase the hit rate of star skills.
Now the victory is basically secured.
The Southampton executives in the main stand were watching.
More than 2,200 students and parents are also looking forward to the full moon.
There is still one talent point in my mind that is not being used.
...There's really no reason not to take him down! Gu Ran took a deep breath, and then added his last talent point to "Set-piece: Crescent Moon Scimitar"!
Set-piece: Crescent Blade +3! Gu Ran calmly picked up the football that was covered with rain and grass, wiped it with his jersey, and then carefully placed it.
The position of the football nozzle is towards the position where you kick your foot.
After placing the football, Gu Ran took three steps back diagonally, then lifted up his wet trouser legs, revealing his solid thigh muscles, and stared at the human wall with murderous eyes!
In the stands, several more female students fainted.
The Angel Wings players in the human wall all subconsciously covered their crotches.
Gu Ran took a deep breath and concentrated——
The weak spot of the two-layer wall is not obvious, but the Crescent Moon Saber does not need a weak spot. As long as the arc is large enough and the speed is fast enough, you can still shoot even if there is no weak spot! Gu Ran sprinted in small steps, and his left foot stepped on the outside of the football, leaving a splash. His body was as tense as a strong bow stretched to the limit, and his right leg swung his calf to exert force, hitting the lower right part of the football!
——Goodbye, young man, draw your bow!
The football was like a crescent-shaped scimitar that had suddenly been unsheathed. It whistled through the gap between the two walls of players and shot towards the upper left corner of the goal with an almost exaggerated arc! The goalkeeper of Angel Wings was stunned!
After all, he is a goalkeeper trained in Everton's youth training team since he was a child, but he has never faced a real Crescent Moon Scimitar!
The goalkeeper of Angel Wings didn't even jump up, he just stood there! The football went into the net...
The ball went in! The ball went in!!! The scene was completely boiling! All the Angel Wings players opened their mouths wide, completely stunned!
Just like the song goes, they really tasted Gu Ran's Crescent Moon Scimitar! Although it's not 40 meters, but 35 meters is unbearable!
Gu Ran jumped onto the iron guardrail over a meter high without hesitation, clenched his fists and thrust his hips into the air to celebrate! Now! Everyone! Are you satisfied?
