"You're all right? You're too fierce to be a mortal!"

Emenalo, who was sitting in the front row, also let out a breath and loosened his clenched fists slightly.

Emenalo resisted the urge to pull his scouting notes from his pocket:

Hold it! Hold it! You must hold it!

Although Gu Ran showed his strong insight, predictive ability, high basketball IQ, excellent physical confrontation ability and sprint speed, as well as his selfless spirit of saving the ball, his tough physique that is not easily injured, and his strong fighting spirit at the very beginning of the game... However, I have to hold back and not show any interest!

"This kid is really interesting." Lawler, who was sitting next to him, sat up straight, and his originally lazy eyes became energetic.

Emenalo's heart sank, but he smiled and said, "... It's just so-so, ahem, I mean, isn't McEachran good? Matthews lowers his shoulders! He passes the ball with one touch! He's the brain in the midfield!"

Lawler shrugged. "McEachern is indeed good, but he is facing a weak team like the Bucks. As a U17 international, he can certainly crush the weak team with his fancy skills. If he is put in a professional league, it will be difficult for him to display his fancy skills. If he wants to take the technical growth path, he will probably have to go through a lot of stronger training before he can have a place in the professional league. Let's put it this way, McEachern has a chance to become a star, but his star path is not big."

Emenalo thought to himself: Fake... He really deserves to be the chief scout of Manchester United. His vision is so damn sharp and accurate! I hope he won't be so accurate when looking at Gu Ran.

Lawler continued, "On the contrary, it was this kid named Gu Ran who really impressed me. His playing style is obviously not from a professional training camp, and it has a bit of a street style, so many of his behaviors are quite unexpected... Well, how should I put it? As a defender, it is not good to be too unexpected, but this kid has a high football IQ, a decent physical condition, and the courage to fight. Most importantly, this kid has the Manchester United Red Devils' spirit of never giving up."

Emenalo: Oh, ugh! Lawler commented: "If he is trained well in the youth team for three years, and if he can grow another 8cm taller and weigh 85kg, he can be a little Vidic in the future and be a substitute for Manchester United's first team."

Emenalo laughed loudly in his heart: Gu Ran as a defender? And a substitute? Ignorance! Stupid! Just like what I thought at the beginning! Gu Ran is a B2B striker! A striker behind! Gu Ran will definitely lead a new era! Just wait for your surprise!

Emenalo nodded to Lawler and said with a smile, "Your analysis is absolutely correct, Mr. Lawler. I will learn from you."

Lawler laughed, "I'm always very accurate in judging people."

At this moment, the number of people in MaxxRT's live broadcast room has soared to 20,000! [Fuck! Gu Ran is so awesome!] [I never thought that there are such strong players in China!] [He doesn't look very strong! But he is really powerful in the confrontation! Like a small tank! And it is a small tank with a rocket engine!] [Gu Ran is so hardworking! I thought the missionary team would definitely score that ball just now! But he dug it out from the goal line!] [Gu Ran's sprinting back and forth gave me goose bumps!] [666!] [Gu Ran was hit so hard, is he really okay?] [I thought he was useless, but he stood up quickly!] [It seems that his teammates on the Bucks Steel Horns must have said a lot of encouraging words to him!] [I think Gu Ran has practiced the legendary Golden Spear Technique!] [Gu Ran's save is really crucial! The opposing Missionaries team looked professional at first glance. If the Bucks Steelhorns were scored a goal in the first two minutes, it would be a nightmare start, and it would be hard for them not to collapse later. Gu Ran is really the savior of the Bucks Steelhorns! No wonder the fans at the scene admire him so much! ] [When those foreigners were yelling "Chinese Dad", I was so happy! ] [Haha, me too! It turns out that foreigners can be tamed! ] [This kind of game should really be shown to those who worship foreigners and always think that foreigners are noble. They will definitely be furious! ] [The host really didn't lie to us! This Gu Ran is really awesome! I was shocked after only two minutes of the game! ] [I wanted to watch it and go to sleep, how the hell can I sleep? ] [However, to be honest, the Bucks Steelhorns team is too bad. They were easily beaten by the opposing Missionaries team at the beginning. I am not optimistic about the next game. Gu Ran will definitely not win this game. ] [If you can't win, then why watch it! What a waste of time! ] A few impatient brothers directly exited the live broadcast room.

However, the total number of people in the live broadcast room soared, and in the blink of an eye it exceeded 30,000! At this time, the game on the field resumed.

The Missionaries got a foul ball.

The Missionaries' right back came to kick the ball out of bounds.

This throw-in is close to the corner flag area and is in a very dangerous position.

The other players of the Missionaries actively penetrated into the Bucks Steelhorns' small penalty area.

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns tried their best to use their bodies to hold back their respective targets.

Before the ball was even kicked out of bounds, the physical confrontation between the two teams had already reached a fever pitch.

The fans who supported the Bucks Steel Horns booed——

Logically speaking, the Missionaries' out-of-bounds ball was "picked up for free" because Gu Ran hit the goal post and Ximei kicked the ball out of bounds. The Missionaries should have returned the ball to the Bucks Steelhorns after the kick-off to be in line with the spirit of sports, but the Missionaries obviously did not intend to do so.

The right winger who was headed out by Gu Ran before actively ran to the side, ready to receive the ball.

Gu Ran kept a close eye on him, not giving him any chance to create space.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Gu Ran in a short time, the right winger simply pushed Gu Ran with his hand.

The linesman was right next to them but he turned a blind eye and ignored it completely.

Gu Ran didn't hesitate and used his elbow to block the back of the right winger's hand, then he slammed into him sideways.

The right winger was knocked away with a grin on his face.

Seeing this confrontation, the fans of the Bucks Steelhorns cheered passionately! The missionary right back who was responsible for the out-of-bounds ball saw that his right winger had no chance, so he turned around and threw the ball to the midfielder who ran up from the far end to coordinate.

After the Missionaries' midfielder stopped the ball, he immediately made a diagonal run into the Bucks Steelhorns' penalty area.

Ximei made up for the defensive interception, and the Bucks Steelhorns' defense was immediately affected.

Gu Ran loudly reminded his teammates not to lose their positions.

The Bucks Steelhorns were able to maintain their arc-shaped chain defense.

The Missionaries midfielder couldn't find a breakthrough in the chain defense and immediately passed the ball to McEachran.

With Watergate and Bread defending him, McEachran started quickly, stopped the ball, then turned around and opened a diagonal pass channel instantly.

When Minato stretched out his foot to intercept, it was too late!

McEachran passed the ball directly into the Bucks Steelhorns' penalty area! This is really a crushing victory in terms of personal ability!

Watergate and bread combined can't stop this England U17 international!

No. 9 Wickham, who is also a British U17 international, has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal. When McEachran passed the ball, he directly pushed away the rusty bar that was defending him closely with his hands and sprinted forward.

Rusty's physical condition is already top-notch in the Bucks Steelhorns, but he was unable to withstand the push from Wickham and lost his defensive position!

Rusty quickly stabilized his body and tried his best to chase and defend!

But Rusty was already a whole beat slower! At the same time, Gu Ran sprinted back to the small penalty area at high speed and jumped high in the path of Wickham's header.

Gu Ran’s position was not good, but Gu Ran’s sprinting speed was extremely fast and his momentum was extremely domineering. The pressure on Wickham was visible to the naked eye!

Wickham couldn't head the ball comfortably, so he could only flick his head quickly! The football was heading straight for the goal! The goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus roared, jumped high and saved the ball with both hands -

The football passed over the arm of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, brushed the top of the goal crossbar, and flew out of the goal line! It didn't go in! "Oh!"

The fans of the Bucks Steelers excitedly clenched their fists and celebrated!

In this game, their excitement level was very low. As long as the opponent didn't score, they would be as happy as if they had scored.

After all...the overall strength of the Missionary Team is indeed strong.

Wickham held his head and sighed to the sky in frustration.

In this ball, Wickham's sense of goal, ability to break away from position and header all demonstrated top level for his age group.

If Gu Ran hadn't sprinted back and interfered with him, this ball would definitely have gone in.

This also fully proves that Gu Ran's defense is really the mainstay of the Bucks Steel Horns team.

Gu's defensive style is obviously wild, but very practical.

5 and a half minutes have passed since the start of the game, and Gu Ran has already scored two goals in a row for the Missionaries.

Coach Pratt, standing in the technical area on the sidelines, couldn't help but frown.

Coach Carter happily applauded the players of the Milwaukee Bucks, "Beautiful! Beautiful! Just play like this, and defend it!"

Gu Ran walked up to Wickham and glared at him coldly, "You can't do it either."

Fuck...the muscles on Wickham's face twitched!

Light~ A blue skill bubble is generated under Wickham's feet.

Gu Ran immediately focused his mind and took a quick glance: Sense of smell in front of the door +1.

Oh shit!

This skill is great! As a defender, it is reasonable for me to have a sense of smell in front of the goal, right? Haha, it feels good, it feels good! Gu Ran moved his mind and picked up the "smell in front of the goal +1" remotely.

——The game continues.

The Bucks Steelhorns continued to implement the defensive strategy arranged by Coach Carter, and would not easily push the line forward without certainty.

The missionaries continued their frantic attack.

The two full-backs of the Missionaries frequently penetrated into the 30-meter area of ​​the Bucks Steelhorns.

The Bucks Steelers were in danger in front of their goal.

Gu Ran sprinted back and forth in his own backcourt to provide defensive support, taking on the entire left side by himself.

Ximei has the opportunity to move to the middle to help Minato and Bread defend.

The Bucks Steelhorns' defense was shaky every time under the attack of the Missionaries, which was very worrying.

In the next ten minutes or so, Gu Ran had personal data of 7 clearances, 4 interceptions and 5 passes.

The Missionaries had six shots, three of which were on target.

The Bucks Steelers only had one shot and missed an airplane.

Of course, the score between the two sides is still 0:0.

The Bucks Steelhorns held on to the start despite some difficulty.

The game was in the 21st minute.

The Missionaries' No. 10 core player, McEachern, passed the ball to the right side of the Bucks Steelhorns. After Olin stopped the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball from the wing, and McEachern took the opportunity to run to the open space behind him.

When Olin encountered the joint interception of Blind Man and Hua Luo, he did not entangle with them, but directly passed the ball to McEachran who had already run into the open space.

McEachern dribbled the ball diagonally into the edge of the Bucks Steelhorns' penalty area and immediately attracted a double-team from three Bucks Steelhorns defensive players.

Facing the dense defense, McEachran suddenly used a Marseille turn, created a passing channel, and pushed the ball to the front of the goal! The Bucks Steelhorns' right center defense line was penetrated for the Nth time! The Tyrannosaurus Rex immediately roared and rushed out to save the ball! But Wickham, who had a keen sense of smell, reacted faster and shot first! The Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly stretched out his arms to intercept——

The football brushed past his fingertips and rolled into the goal at high speed!

There is no hope of saving the ball...

The ball went in! The fans of the Bucks Steelhorns covered their faces in pain!

The score on the big screen at the Millennium Stadium was immediately changed to Southampton Stags Steelers 0:1 Westminster Missionaries.

After 21 minutes of fierce bombardment, the missionaries finally achieved results.

The Missionaries players happily ran to the visiting team's bench to hug and high-five to celebrate.

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns were a little discouraged.

The huge gap in personal abilities is an indisputable objective fact.

Head coach Carter clapped his hands vigorously in the technical area and encouraged loudly: "Kids! You played very well! It doesn't matter if you lose one goal! Come on, come on!"

Carter's encouragement had little effect, and the morale of the Bucks Steelhorns was still in a low mood after losing the ball.

Gu Ran said to his teammates: "Look at Olin's face."

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns looked at Olin, who was waving his hands in celebration at them with a triumphant look on his face.

——Although Olin did not assist the Missionaries’ goal, he was still involved.

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns team immediately rushed to the top with excitement!

"Fuck!"

"He's a piece of shit that even dogs can't get! I want to kill him!"

"We must not let Olin get too arrogant!"

"Brothers, cheer up!"

"That's right! It's just one ball, hold on!"

"Kill them!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

The players of the Bucks Steelhorn team seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they shook their spirits and quickly got into position! The Southampton fans and Cardiff fans at the scene were also infected by the enthusiasm and momentum shown by the Bucks Steelhorn team after losing the ball, and they cheered for the home team even harder! In the warm atmosphere, the game continued!

The Bucks Steel Horns intensified their pressing and confrontation.

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting in the midfield and right side areas.

Various small actions that were not in compliance with the regulations frequently occurred, and the referee's whistle was blown continuously.

The game was in the 37th minute.

Minato and Sissy tripped McEachran who was dribbling the ball 35 meters away from the goal.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded the missionaries a free kick in the frontcourt.

The Bucks Steelers urgently formed a human wall.

McEachran took the free kick.

There was a lot of booing and noise at the scene.

McEachran calmly glanced at the goal, then made a tactical pass and passed the ball to the middle.

After the midfielder of the Missionary Team got the ball, he accelerated and dribbled to the top of the penalty area, then shot a powerful long shot! The football was blocked by Rusty's foot, bounced up, and flew out of the end line.

The Missionaries get a corner kick.

——This was their third corner kick in the first half.

McEachran continued to take the corner kick from the right side.

Gu Ran focused on defending the back area.

McEachran kicked the ball to the center of the penalty area, and there was chaos in the penalty area.

The tall central defender of the Missionaries team got the first point, but he was stuck by the rusty strips and his header was not accurate.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex jumped up and missed the ball.

The painter got to the second spot just in time and was about to kick the ball away, but Olin used a small move to pull him to the ground.

Wickham seized the opportunity and followed up with a shot! The ball hit the goal from a small angle in the chaos!

The distance was too close, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex had no time to react—

The ball went in! The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the goal was valid!

In the 39th minute of the first half, Wickham scored twice!

This goal also brought Wickham's goal total in this national competition to 9! He tied with Gu Ran and Qiao Li! ——The battle for the top scorer is full of suspense!

The players of the Missionaries team happily gathered together to celebrate.

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns surrounded the referee to complain - if Olin had not pulled down the painter who had already got the ball in the penalty area, Wickham would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to shoot!

The referee ignored the appeal of the Bucks Steel Horns and insisted on his decision!

The fans of the Bucks Steelhorns booed angrily, and some radical fans even threw mineral water bottles at the Missionaries.

Coach Carter was madly cursing in the technical area! The referee showed Coach Carter a yellow card! The scene suddenly became a little chaotic!

The second goal lost was really unfair!

The referee's decision was obviously biased! Losing two goals in the first half was a big blow to the Bucks Steelhorns!

Especially the goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus Rex, he knelt in front of the goal with self-blame, the 191cm tall man's eyes were filled with tears of frustration.

At this moment, the Bucks Steelers' dream of winning the championship became unreal.

On the north stands, the fans from Southampton also had expressions of pain and depression on their faces.

They knew that there was a big gap in strength between the two teams, and they also saw that the players of the Bucks Steelhorns fought very hard, but they lost two goals in the first half. Such a score was really sad and desperate.

Sophie leaned sadly in Sally's arms and almost cried.

Sally patted Sophie and said, "Gu Ran must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, right? After the game, you must comfort Gu Ran."

Sophie nodded vigorously.

Teacher Maria on the other side of the stands bit her lip and murmured, "Gu, don't be sad. I will definitely comfort you after the game is over..."

Meanwhile, in the main stand, scouts from smaller clubs shook their heads and sighed.

"Alas, after all, one person can't save the whole team."

"Yes, although this ball is a bit unfair, the strength of the Bucks Steel Horns is indeed poor. Even with a strong player like Gu Ran, the Bucks Steel Horns cannot win."

“I predict that the Missionaries will score at least two more goals.”

"I agree. So far in the game, the two U17 international players of the Missionary Team have played very well. The Bucks Steel Horns have no way to limit them. Gu Ran also sacrificed his offensive attributes for defense and had no room to play."

"In fact, it's pretty good that the Bucks Steelhorns were able to defend for this long."

"Yeah, a team this bad that shouldn't even make it to the group stage actually made it all the way to the finals of the national tournament. Just based on this, the Bucks Steelhorns have done enough."

In the front seat, Emenalo smiled and said to Lawler, "Mr. Lawler, McEachran and Wickham both performed well."

Lawler sneered, "Not even close! Two U17 internationals, playing against a weak amateur team, have yet to beat the opponent. If I were their coach, I would have already started to criticize them. I find Gu Ran more and more interesting... He seems to have something special. Although his defense is good, I think if he is pushed to the front, his basketball IQ and sprint speed can be better utilized."

Emenalo's heart sank, "...Really? That's impossible?"

Lawler chuckled, "Of course, this is just my personal feeling. As of now, Gu Ran simply cannot meet Manchester United's requirements - Manchester United's selection standards are very high, and even the two U17 internationals cannot meet Manchester United's requirements for the time being."

Emenalo smiled happily and said, "That's right, that's right..."

In MaxxRT's live broadcast room, netizens kept complaining: [What a rotten team the Bucks are!] [They lost two goals in the first half, and they didn't have any offensive feeling! Too bad!] [Gu Ran had no room to play.] [It made me anxious and angry, I don't want to watch it anymore!] [The host praised Gu Ran too much, now it seems that Gu Ran is just an ordinary player.] [It's boring, I'm going to sleep!] Many netizens left the live broadcast room.

The total number of people in the live broadcast room is stuck at 35,000, with almost no growth.

At this moment, the Bucks Steelhorns players on the field all hung their heads, their morale falling to the bottom.

Head coach Carter also received a yellow card for protesting.

The opposing missionary team was already strong, and the referee was biased towards them.

In this situation, it is really difficult to turn the tables after losing two goals in a row.

Gu Ran took a deep breath, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense.

...It's not over yet! Isn't it just a f*cking unfavorable situation? I'm going to be a football superstar in the future, so what's a little unfavorable situation! ! ! Gu Ran walked up to the kneeling Tyrannosaurus Rex and slapped it on the back, "Why are you crying? It's not over yet! It's not too late to cry after we win!"

"win?"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex looked up at Gu Ran in disbelief, wanting to confirm whether he was joking.

After seeing Gu Ran's determined eyes, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was immediately infected and his fighting spirit was rekindled! The Tyrannosaurus Rex stood up from the grass and stood in front of the goal in high spirits.

Gu Ran walked up to Hua Luo, who looked depressed, and said, "You, go to the left road."

"Ah?" Hua Luo opened his mouth wide, "Gu... this... I can't do this!"

Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "I know you can't do it, but I can."

Hua Luo let out a breath of cold air.

He didn't feel insulted at all because what Gu Ran said was the truth!

Instead, he felt a brand new hope!

Hua Luo nodded vigorously, "Gu, kill Olin!"

"I will."

The two of them high-fived! They switched positions! …
