There were at least five Golden Fleece players blocking in front, with one player on each side, and Jolly chasing behind! Gu Ran calmly raised his head and glanced -
The team's left and right wing players didn't have time to respond.
The glider was in an offside position, and the sissy was running into an open space on the left side outside the penalty area.
Minato was closely marked by two central defenders in the middle of the penalty area.
Gu Ran passed the ball to the sissy without hesitation.
The sissy stopped the ball sideways, made a slight adjustment and then dribbled into the penalty area.
The two defensive players of the Golden Fleece Team immediately broke away from Gu Ran and ran to block the sissy's route.
An obvious passage immediately appeared in the Golden Fleece Team's penalty area!
The fans at the scene cheered excitedly!
Gu Ran's pass was so smart!
Although it was necessary for the Golden Fleece Team to defend against sissy guys, in their panic, fatal loopholes appeared in their defense!
After passing the ball, Gu Ran continued to sprint at high speed, used his body to push away a defensive player who was approaching him, and then went straight in through the loophole of the Golden Fleece Team!
He never simply passes the ball and calls it a day, but continues to move forward!
This loophole is... so exciting!
Tens of thousands of fans were so excited watching this!
How can this be called a defender? This is definitely a forward! Not a B2B defender, but a B2B forward! The rarest B2B forward in modern football! And it’s a backward type! Gu Ran’s forward penetration awareness is too strong!
Putting Gu Ran in a weak amateur team is simply a waste of his talent!
Coach Wilkinson on the sidelines shouted anxiously, "Mark him! Mark Gu Ran! Mark Gu Ran!!!"
The sissy half turned around to protect the ball on the left side of the penalty area. After seeing Gu Ran's forward position, he immediately kicked a low ball to Gu Ran!
Bang! The Golden Fleece team's center back saw through the sissy's passing intention, and the ball was cleared out of the sideline by the center back! "Oh..."
The fans at the scene sighed! Gu Ran's rapid counterattack, penetrating pass and forward movement were really wonderful.
What a pity...my teammate's sissy pass wasn't very effective.
Of course, it’s not difficult to blame sissies for this.
After all, sissies are not professional, and Coach Wilkinson also reminded the Golden Fleece's central defender on the sidelines.
If it weren't for Coach Wilkinson's shout, this sissy's kick might have really been passed to Gu Ran, and after Gu Ran stopped the ball, he would have definitely kicked it straight into the air.
However, after lamenting, the fans still gave Gu Ran a warm round of applause for his wonderful performance.
In the main stand, scouts from small clubs were amazed:
"Gu Ran's charge is too fierce!"
"The game has already come to this point, and Gu Ran is still so energetic!"
"Gu Ran's physical fitness has indeed reached a professional level."
"That Qiao Li, he was known as the strongest striker in the amateur high school championship, but he couldn't even outrun Gu Ran!"
"Gu Ran is the real striker!"
"Oh my God! B2B striker! This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes!"
"Moreover, Gu Ran's sprint is both competitive and entertaining!"
"It's really unfair for Gu Ran to be a back striker in a weak team like the Bucks Steel Horns. If the Bucks Steel Horns were stronger, Gu Ran wouldn't have to be the engine, but a striker or a 9.5. Then the Bucks Steel Horns would definitely score a lot of goals!"
"Fortunately, the National High School Championship is coming to an end, and Gu Ran will be able to play in professional competitions soon."
"Wait! What are we expecting? Gu Ran has entered the English League One, and he's going to kick us out, isn't he?"
“Fuck…”
When the scouts from these small clubs thought that Gu Ran would soon become their opponent, they all looked sad.
Chelsea's Emenalo couldn't help but smile.
His scout notebook was filled with diagrams of Gu Ran's sprinting, passing, and forward runs.
Although there was no goal in this wave, Gu Ran's performance was truly amazing.
As long as Gu Ran is paired with good teammates, his brilliance will illuminate the whole of England.
Days like this...will not last long.
Half a season later, Sister NO will be able to bring Gu Ran here.
Chelsea will dominate European football!
——Emenalo felt very happy.
Anne, who was sitting in the corner of the second row, was already feeling very happy.
Especially when Gu Ran was competing with Qiao Li at the top speed, Annie saw the frequency of Gu Ran's legs, and deep in her heart she couldn't help but activate the memory related to another frequency of Gu Ran...
Anne collapsed on the seat, which was also wet...
"It's wonderful! It's wonderful!"
Greg, who was sitting in the first row, clapped his hands excitedly. "It's unbelievable! Gu Ran is such a monster! Although the Bucks Steel Horns didn't score any goals in these waves of attack, the scene was very exciting. The Bucks Steel Horns are obviously a weak team, and it is obviously all thanks to Gu Ran that they can play like this! This kid is really, really amazing! When he sprinted, I could really feel the blood boiling in my body! I think, with a little training and transformation, he can become a left winger or center forward with outstanding skills, amazing speed, and sharp breakthroughs like Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Old Rice smiled proudly and said, "To be praised so highly by the Deputy CEO of the English Football Association, I want to say thank you on behalf of our Gu Ran."
Greg laughed, "You're welcome, but... I think it would be difficult for an ordinary small club to train Gu Ran to be Cristiano Ronaldo."
Old Rice's smile froze on his face: "...What do you mean? " Greg smiled cunningly.
At this moment, on the football field, the sissy was still blaming himself for the wrong pass.
Gu Ran walked to the side of the sissy and took the initiative to high-five him, "Sissy, the pass was very good, just kick it like this."
"Gu, but I..."
"It doesn't matter. In football, not every attack can score a goal. The key is that we have to play with our own ideas." Gu Ran smiled and said, "We are just not proficient enough in the cooperation like just now, but the idea is fine. Just play like this."
"Gu, you're right." Sissy cheered up again, "Thank you! Let's do it again!"
The game continues.
Under the continued high-pressure of the Bucks Steelhorns, the Golden Fleece Team has little time left.
The two sides continued to fight in the middle and right.
Gu Ran's running range was larger, and Gavin and Adama obviously couldn't keep up with Gu Ran's pace.
Especially the right midfielder Adama, who was completely outplayed by Gu Ran and seemed to be sleepwalking in the second half.
Gu Ran made consecutive breakthroughs from the left and center, and repeatedly rushed into the Golden Fleece team's penalty area from his own penalty area.
If the Bucks Steelers team had not been weak in overall strength and unable to keep up with Gu Ran's attacking rhythm, the score would have been rewritten long ago.
78th minute of the game——
Under Gu Ran's continuous attacks, the Golden Fleece Team's physical fitness has declined significantly, and their midfield is obviously unable to organize an attack.
The Golden Fleece team was completely suppressed in their own half and found it difficult to attack.
Jolly was wandering alone in the frontcourt, his expression becoming more and more anxious, and he kept yelling at his teammates.
The entire Golden Fleece team was on the brink of collapse.
——If you watch this game from now on, everyone will think that the powerful Bucks Steelhorns are the top-tier strong team, and the Golden Fleece is the rubbish weak team.
Tens of thousands of fans at the scene happily sang the song "There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran".
Coach Wilkinson kept rubbing his nose on the sidelines.
Seeing that his team could not hold on, Coach Wilkinson asked the two players on the bench to warm up on the sidelines.
These two players, one is the right forward who had played against Gu Ran in the group stage, and the other is the left forward.
In the 80th minute of the game, the Golden Fleece team made a substitution.
The sleepwalking Adama was substituted, and another right midfielder who was unable to run was also substituted.
The Golden Fleece team also adjusted their tactics immediately, playing longer passes that save more energy.
After the Golden Fleece team got the ball from the backcourt, they kicked the ball directly to the frontcourt, relying on forwards and wingers to fight for opportunities.
This tactic is simple and crude, but it is also a solution for the Golden Fleece team that has lost control of the midfield.
The game was in the 83rd minute:
The left back of the Golden Fleece team picked up the missed pass from the Bucks Steelhorns and made a long pass directly to the frontcourt.
Hua Luo turned back and just as he raised his head to stop the ball, the newly substituted left forward of the Golden Fleece team roughly pushed Hua Luo from behind and forcibly intercepted the ball!
After falling to the ground, Hua Luo immediately got up and chased back, raising his hand to appeal! However, the referee was far away, and the linesman on the other side did not make any comments.
The left forward of the Golden Fleece team seized the opportunity and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area of the Bucks Steel Horns team.
Tens of thousands of fans at the scene were all worried!
The Tyrannosaurus roared and rushed forward to fight one on one! Although his arms were short, his momentum was not short!
The left forward of the Golden Fleece team pushed the ball sideways to the penalty spot...
Jolly, who had been roaming around the penalty area waiting for an opportunity, shook off the painter's defense, went straight into the small penalty area, and shot!
The football is shot into the net!
Only the fans from Rugby were waving flags and cheering excitedly!
Qiao Li ran past Gu Ran with a smug look on his face to celebrate with his teammates, and arrogantly raised two fingers - he was already two goals ahead of Gu Ran in the scorer list! Gu Ran smiled coldly and gave Qiao Li a middle finger in return without any hesitation.
At this time, the players of the Bucks Steelhorns surrounded the referee and complained: "Mr. Referee! This goal is invalid!"
"Mr. Referee, the left forward of the Golden Fleece team pushed someone from behind just now. He was the first to commit a foul!"
"Mr. Referee, please change the verdict!"
"The left forward of the Golden Fleece team should get a yellow card!"
Facing the emotional players of the Bucks Steel Horns, the referee frowned and said coldly: "I don't care about that, you'd better let the goals speak for themselves!"
"Mr. Referee!"
“That’s not fair!”
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns were a little anxious.
They tried their best to press high, create offsides, defend, and counterattack, but in the end, the Golden Fleece team scored a goal through a foul. None of them were willing to accept this!
Hua Luo had tears in her eyes and her face was full of self-blame and grievance.
He had already done his best to defend the long pass just now, and he had also pushed his physical strength to the limit. He also knew what this loss meant to all the brothers of the Bucks Steelhorns team. If the opponent had not fouled from behind, he would never have lost the ball in such an important place.
The Golden Fleece players who were celebrating the goal came over and laughed, "Haha, look at that country bumpkin fishmonger, he's almost crying!"
"The stinky fishmonger can't stand losing! He's even appealing to the referee!"
"What did you say!" The players of the Bucks Steelhorns surrounded the fans of the Golden Fleece Team who had just made sarcastic remarks.
The fans at the scene also roared crazily: "Fuck them! Fuck them to death!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Gu Ran immediately intervened and calmly pulled his teammates apart.
The referee's decision has been made. If you start a fight at this time, not only will it not change the score, but you will also get a red card because of your impulse!
Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "Brothers! The game is not over yet! Moreover, even if they scored a goal, we are still tied! We haven't lost yet! There are still the last 4 minutes and injury time!"
“Do you remember our slogan?”
"Steel Horn of a Stag—"
"Fight to the bitter end!" The other teammates responded in unison with anger! Gu Ran said loudly: "We are going to beat them, but not with fists, but with goals! We want to make them convinced! Hua Luo, aren't you waiting for my signal? Now, I'll give you the signal!"
Hua Luo was shaking with excitement, "Gu! I will never, ever let you down again! Stag Steel Horn! Fight to the bitter end!"
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns quickly took their positions.
Gu Ran concentrated his mind and added one talent point to his physical attribute.
The physical attribute has increased from 74 points to 75 points!
With such physical fitness, he can play the entire game in the English League One! Gu Ran stood near the left center line again! Other Bucks Steelhorns players also stood near the center line! Tens of thousands of fans at the scene cheered excitedly again!
Gu Ran's blitzkrieg tactics are coming again! The goal just scored by the Golden Fleece Team not only did not make the situation more depressing, but completely aroused the fighting spirit of the Bucks Steel Horns Team!
Is there any revenge scene more exciting and thrilling than this? !
Wilkinson, the head coach of the Golden Fleece Team, shouted loudly: "Retreat to defend, retreat to the penalty area! Prevent them from flying on both wings!"
beep--
As the referee blew the whistle for the game, the sissy kicked the ball to the left front court! The left winger of the Golden Fleece team did not dare to come up to grab the ball, but retreated backwards, relying on dense defense to fight against Gu Ran.
Gu Ran started at high speed and sprinted forward with violent aesthetics.
With a lot of physical energy consumed, Gu Ran's sprinting speed has indeed slowed down a lot, but his sprinting posture is still quite powerful and beautiful.
After Gu Ran got the ball, he did not encounter any obstacles and continued to dribble along the left side.
And Hua Luo was running desperately on the right side to support!
Tens of thousands of fans stood up from their seats, cheering passionately for the Bucks Steelhorns' attack! The Golden Fleece team retreated back to the penalty area with all their strength. The left forward and left back who had pushed Hua Luo down before were responsible for focusing on defending Hua Luo.
Gu Ran rushed into the area within thirty meters on the left flank - this was also the area he liked to cut inside the most.
But this time, the players of the Golden Fleece team formed a tight defensive network on the edge of the penalty area, making it impossible to cut inside and break through here.
Gu Ran raised his head and glanced to the right——
Hua Luo was still running desperately towards the 30-meter area.
Gu Ran did not wait there. He looked up and observed Hua Luo's movement while continuing to dribble the ball to the bottom line.
It seemed that Gu Ran was waiting for Hua Luo to create an opening on the right side.
Hua Luo tried his best to break through, and the Golden Fleece team assigned a midfielder to prevent him from receiving the ball.
The other Golden Fleece players faced the left side where Gu Ran was and collectively defended against Gu Ran's breakthrough.
Gu Ran continued to dribble the ball down the field and soon arrived about ten meters outside the left sideline of the small penalty area, looking like he was about to break through from the bottom line.
The Golden Fleece team's defensive players immediately retreated into the small penalty area, and the area on the left side of the small penalty area was almost airtight.
The right back of Golden Fleece also rushed out to press Gu Ran closely, preventing Gu Ran from kicking the ball easily.
Gu Ran suddenly made a turn and shook off the right-back who was defending him! However, the path to the small penalty area along the bottom line was still blocked tightly, and even the goalkeeper of the Golden Fleece team stood near the left goal post to defend.
It can be said that the Golden Fleece Team fought desperately in the final moments, and their defense against Gu Ran was like an iron wall.
but……
The next moment, Gu Ran suddenly made a magical pass towards the top of the penalty area! The Golden Fleece team's defensive players were all dumbfounded!
What's going on?
Gu Ran, didn't you tell Hua Luo very passionately to pass the ball to him to play with both wings?
Why did you pass the ball back to the middle? ? ? ——The Golden Fleece team's defensive players were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat! Their defense only focused on Hua Luo on the right and Gu Ran on the left, with almost no troops in the middle! And the sissy was left unguarded, and ran just outside the top of the penalty area! Gu Ran's pass was fast and powerful, and almost before the Golden Fleece team's defensive players could react, it broke through the Golden Fleece team's penalty area defense line!
This is a classic inverted triangle tactic! Sissy didn't wait for the Golden Fleece players to rush up to intercept, and directly met Gu Ran's pass and shot with force! The football used the force to hit the opponent, and the double force was superimposed, just like a cannonball fired from a gun, shooting straight to the right side of the goal!
The goalkeeper of the Golden Fleece team jumped up hastily to save the ball.
It’s too late!
The football shot into the net! The ball went in! The referee blew the whistle immediately, indicating that the goal was valid!
The score on the big screen at the Millennium Stadium was immediately changed to Rugby Golden Fleece 2:3 Southampton Bucks Steel Horns! The fans who were worried were instantly excited!
The sissy rushed towards Gu Ran excitedly and lifted him up! The players of the Bucks Steel Horns also rushed towards the two of them to celebrate the goal! The Golden Fleece team, from the players to the coaches, were all stunned!
They were completely defeated by Gu Ran's on-the-spot tactics! As the engine and commander on the field, Gu Ran completely dominated the entire game!
Yes! So far, Jolly is still two goals ahead of Gu Ran in the scorer list, but Gu Ran is leading the Bucks Steelhorns team to stride towards victory!
The game is about to enter injury time! The Bucks Steelhorns have already stepped into the finals with their lead!
At this time, the fourth official outside the field raised a sign to indicate that there would be 6 minutes of injury time in the second half!
Counting the 4 minutes left in the first and second half, there are at most 10 minutes left for the Bucks to make history!
All the fans who supported the Milwaukee Bucks were shouting Gu Ran's name at the top of their lungs! Some fans were even shouting "Chinese Daddy!"
Some fans couldn't control their tears and started to cry! Even their tears were boiling!
Gu Ran brought them to unprecedented heights!
In the main stand, scouts from small clubs exclaimed in disbelief: "It's so shocking! It's so shocking!"
"To achieve such a rich variety of tactical changes in such a short period of time is definitely not something a coach can direct from the sidelines."
"That's right, this is all thanks to Gu Ran's leadership on the field!"
"Gu Ran is not only the engine, but also the steering wheel!"
"What engine, what steering wheel? Gu Ran is obviously an experienced driver!"
"Gu Ran can drive such a shabby car like the Bucks Steelhorns at lightning speed!"
"However, I think that although Gu Ran can become a leader in a weak amateur team, I'm afraid he won't have such treatment and status once he joins a professional club."
"That makes sense. The locker room of a professional club is not as pure as that of a high school student. Not only are there many factions, but there are also strict hierarchies and positions. Gu Ran, a Chinese kid, will probably have a hard time surviving in a British professional club."
"…Are we a bit like sour grapes?"
"Of course not!"
…
ps: Regarding “B2B Forward”, here is an explanation: it really exists.
The term B2B is not exclusive to midfielders. As long as it can go from penalty area to penalty area, it can be called B2B.
When Mourinho coached Tottenham, Harry Kane was a typical B2B striker - from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, defending, organizing, and scoring, all by himself.
This point is not mentioned in the main text because Harry Kane is still young and in Tottenham's U18 youth team. He has not met Mourinho yet.
The Pharaoh Salah of the later Liverpool, the little demon McTominay during Mourinho's period in charge of Manchester United (this guy is also amazing, he was originally short, but grew 25 cm in one and a half years after he was 19 years old, and only played B2B midfielder in the later period. After all, there is no striker position in the giants, which is a pity), and Mandzukic and Cavani after Juventus transformed the center forward into a left winger, are all B2B forwards of the new era.
The B2B forward's playing style is very passionate, team-oriented, competitive, and entertaining, and it is compatible with almost any tactical system.
In general, B2B forwards are still rare at present, but with the development of modern football, there will inevitably be more B2B forwards in the future.
