McEachren has many advantages, but his disadvantages are also obvious. He is not strong enough, has poor confrontation, and his long-range shooting accuracy is not good.
What's more troublesome is that MacEachran seems to have developed a mental disorder in the face of Gu Ran's high pressure...
But Pratt ended up clapping and cheering on McEachran and the other players.
McEachern is the team's trump card and the rest of the games depend on him, so Pratt dare not curse him.
Olin rubbed his shoulders and ran back to his position, while McEachran lowered his head with a depressed look on his face and walked back to his own half.
His face was long to begin with, and it became even longer when he was depressed.
Minato ran backwards past McKenna and gave him a thumbs-up gesture.
MacEachern's mentality exploded instantly, and he rushed directly towards Minato and reached out to strangle Minato's neck!
The other Missionaries players rushed forward to pull McEachran.
Minato took the opportunity to fall to the ground, covering his neck and rolling around!
——This is the final of the national competition, and both sides have tried their best to win!
The referee blew the whistle and gave McEachran a yellow card! This yellow card was really not deserved! Head coach Pratt's face turned green.
The fans of Southampton and Cardiff happily cheered and applauded the Watergate! This move of the Watergate was quite like that of Professor Bu!
Light~ Another blue skill bubble fell from under MacEachron's feet! Gu Ran calmly gathered his thoughts and glanced at it: Two-on-one cooperation +1.
This is a bit watery...
Gu Ran simply ignored the skill bubble.
The two-pass-one combination is a good skill, but Gu Ran is already at +4, and within the system B rating, +4 is already the upper limit of pickup.
There is one last chance to pick up something today, so don’t waste it.
With the intervention of the referee, the neck-choking incident ended quickly.
After receiving a yellow card, McEachran calmed down.
The game continues.
Tyrannosaurus Rex kicked the ball directly to Gu Ran's feet.
As soon as Gu Ran got the ball, three midfielders from the Missionaries team rushed towards him to grab the ball.
The Bucks Steelhorns are trying their best to limit McEachran, and the Missionaries are naturally trying their best to limit Gu Ran.
The trump cards of both teams became the main targets of infringement.
The missionaries' scramble for the ball was very rough, but Gu Ran responded calmly and was not in a hurry to pass the ball.
Sissy and Glider rushed up in time to intercept and provide protection, while Minato continued to stick to McEachran to prevent McEachran and other missionary players from forming a zone defense against Gu Ran.
Minato is very clear about his position in the second half, he is the one who does the dirty work!
While Gu Ran was fighting desperately, the other players of the Bucks Steel Horns also worked together and fought hard with Gu Ran.
Their individual abilities were indeed poor, but that did not hinder their fierce performance in the finals! In this fierce confrontation, Gu Ran was kicked in the knee by the missionary's defensive player from behind.
Gu Ran lost his balance and fell to the grass, but he immediately protected the ball under his body, not giving the Missionaries a chance to steal the ball! The Missionaries' defensive players continued to fight fiercely with their feet!
The fans of Southampton and Cardiff cried out in fear.
The midfielders of the Bucks Steelhorns raised their hands to appeal and rushed over to protect and support Gu Ran.
Although Gu Ran fell to the ground, he still stretched out his feet to control the ball and did not lose the ball! When the referee was about to blow the whistle to stop the game, Gu Ran suddenly climbed up with his hands and feet, and instantly started to dribble forward!
The entire Millennium Stadium was on fire! Some fans with shallow eyes were crying and screaming at the top of their lungs!
Maifu bit his sleeve nervously, and in his heart he kept calling "Chinese ancestors"! Gu Ran! Too manly! Too tough! Too hardworking! Gu Ran once again ignited the adrenaline of the fans!
The more than 40,000 fans at the scene chanted in unison and rhythmically: "Gu Ran! Hard, hard, hard! Gu Ran! Hard, hard, hard!"
The players of the Missionary Team never expected that Gu Ran would be able to stand up and continue sprinting with the ball in this situation!
The Missionaries' front line was in complete chaos, and they defended without any plan!
Gu Ran sprinted in a serpentine manner, passing several defensive players!
The Missionary team's defense was like a pair of stockings on the legs, vulnerable to Gu Ran's violent and aesthetic sprint! Gu Ran dribbled the ball straight into the top of the Missionary team's arc! It was going to tear his crotch!!!
Facing the retreating McEachran and the closed defense of the No. 7 midfielder, Gu Ran used a bicycle kick and then a step-down turn! McEachran slipped again!
McEachran didn't even get up, he just sat on the grass and thought about life! The fans of Southampton and Cardiff were all crazy! Lawler in the main stand couldn't help jumping up from his seat again - his hemorrhoids seemed to be acting up again!
"Oh my god!!! Cristiano!!!" Lawler shouted excitedly! Emenalo next to him was also fascinated, his hands kept digging in his small trouser pockets! At this moment, when Gu Ran passed McEachran and midfielder No. 7, there were at least 5 defensive players who retreated back to the penalty area of the Missionary Team.
Although there are many people, they are not in a state of disarray! Gu Ran dribbled the ball to the left, creating a narrow and short passing channel, and then made a clean pass to the right side of the penalty area: The magic lamp points the way!
The football stuck to the grass 5 centimeters above the ground, like a sharp bayonet, and penetrated directly through the gaps between several defensive players!
Olin rushed over to grab the ball! The glider was so angry that he pushed Olin away and grabbed the ball before he lost his balance!
Gu Ran also moved forward at the same time!!!
The fans of Southampton and Cardiff all jumped up and cheered.
The glider's body had lost its balance. Before falling to the ground, the glider forcibly kicked the ball to the penalty area! Gu Ran sprinted and bounced up by inertia!
Heading +2——
One of the two central defenders of the missionary team pulled Gu Ran's arm, and the other jumped up to fight for it.
The goalkeeper of the Missionary Team also left the goal to attack——
Gu Ran's jumping ability was very high, but with his arms pulled, this jumping height did not give him much of an advantage over the Missionary Team's 192cm tall center back.
Bang! Gu Ran still managed to hit the ball first! But he failed to exert enough force!
The football bounced over the head of the 192cm center back and was immediately blocked by the goalkeeper of the Missionary Team! The goalkeeper of the Missionary Team missed the ball!
Gu Ran's head collided with the 192cm center back's head! He lost his balance and fell to the ground! He had no chance to fight for the second spot -
The goalkeeper of the Missionary Team quickly made a second save and kept the ball firmly under his body! "Oh!"
The fans of Southampton and Cardiff lamented at the same time! This attack was so beautiful! So sharp! Gu Ran completely broke through the three lines of defense of the Missionary Team! If the Missionary Team hadn't pulled Gu Ran in the penalty area, this ball would definitely have been scored! The offensive players of the Bucks Steel Horns all raised their hands to appeal! More than 40,000 fans in the stands shouted "Penalty, penalty, penalty" at the same time! However, the referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue!
Gu Ran stood up from the grass with bent legs and adjusted his socks with a calm expression.
The referees in China are blind, and the referees in the UK are not much better.
This attacking opportunity is very good, but that's how football games are, it's impossible for every good opportunity to result in a goal.
Although we failed to score a goal, the overall coordination in the frontcourt was still good.
After all, the Missionaries' defense is more professional, and my level is not yet high enough to crush them.
It’s okay, come again!
Gu Ran raised his hand and applauded his teammates and supportive fans.
Seeing Gu Ran so calm, experienced and composed, the fans all stood up and applauded and cheered for Gu Ran crazily!
Coach Carter even turned towards the stands and took the lead in cheering and applauding for Gu Ran!
Coach Pratt on the other side secretly wiped away the cold sweat... He almost had a heart attack just now!
Is this a weak team?
Is this a wild amateur player? Gu Ran alone can make the entire defense of the Missionary Team in a mess!
If you give this kid Gu Ran more time to grow, his future will really be limitless.
At first, Pratt couldn't understand why the head of the sports department of Westminster School wanted to bribe Gu Ran. Now, Pratt fully understood.
Not only did Pratt understand it, he also felt that using 20,000 pounds to bribe Gu Ran was simply an insult to Gu Ran.
Pratt looked at Gu Ran with a complicated look.
In the main stand, Lawler let out a long sigh and slowly sat down.
Emenalo asked, "Mr. Lawler...is your hemorrhoids acting up again?"
Lawler said seriously, "Yes, yes, I just had hemorrhoids again."
Emenalo smiled secretly, "But, I just heard you shout Cristiano? You even gave hemorrhoids a name?"
Lawler's face flushed, and he laughed dryly, "No, no, you must have heard it wrong. I didn't shout Cristiano, I just shouted Omaiga. But you, Mr. Emenalo, I just saw your hands moving around in your trouser pockets... What's wrong, is your hemorrhoid growing in the front?"
Emenalo smiled and said, "No, no, I'm just... scratching an itch."
The two of them laughed knowingly, then turned away at the same time, ignoring each other.
The dispute has begun!
At this moment, all kinds of barrages are running rampant in MaxxRT's live broadcast room!
[Gu Ran's attack was so awesome!] [Bicycle step pressure to turn, so cool! 6 over!] [I never thought that our Chinese players could have such strong physical fitness, and I never thought that our Chinese players could have such good skills!] [The U17 international No. 10 of the Missionary Team was directly broken by Gu Ran, right?] [It was so satisfying! So proud!] [It's a pity that the header didn't go in at the end!] [If the big forward of the Bucks Steel Horns could pass the ball more accurately, or if the Missionary's central defender didn't use dirty tricks to pull Gu Ran, this goal would have been scored!] [I didn't expect that the British referees are the same as the domestic referees!] [Friend, if you watch the Premier League, you will know that the British referees are even more stupid than the domestic referees!] [Both sides played very dirty. I didn't play so dirty even when I played street football.] [Come on, you are playing football? You are embroidering! Modern football itself is a barbaric sport! ] [That’s right, so in the UK, the lower leagues are more authentic and more interesting! ] [This amateur match is really exciting! But the picture is too blurry, and I can only see the general outlines of the players on the field. Can the anchor move forward and get closer? ] After seeing this barrage, MaxxRT immediately said: "Don’t worry, I will find a way to move forward and try to let everyone see it more clearly."
——On the green field, the game continues.
The confrontation between the players of both sides in the midfield area continued to escalate, and the actions became more and more violent.
The Missionaries' attack was still fierce and frequent. When the game was about 70 minutes in, the Missionaries' physical strength showed no sign of declining, and their possession rate was higher than that of the Bucks Steelhorns.
However, with the core ace McEachran being locked down by Gu Ran and Shuimen, the Missionaries' offense seemed to be soulless, crashing into things here and there.
The game reached the 75th minute:
McEachern dribbled the ball to the left looking for an opportunity, but Minato harassed him closely. McEachern learned his lesson and deliberately exposed a flaw.
Minato was a little anxious and tripped McKellen while trying to steal the ball.
After McEachran fell to the ground, he rolled several times on the grass.
The referee blew the whistle to stop the game and showed Minato a yellow card.
Minato spread his hands helplessly.
After receiving the yellow card, Minato had to restrain his defensive actions.
In the 79th minute of the game, the score between the two sides was still tied at 2:2.
Both sides became impatient in the way they handled the ball.
The Missionaries' right winger passed the ball near the center line to midfielder No. 7 who was running to receive the ball. Midfielder No. 7 used his personal skills to shake off the Bucks Steelhorns player who was marking him and passed the ball to McEachran who retreated to create a gap.
The entire Missionary team was constantly running in dynamic positions, and the Bucks Steelhorns were under a lot of pressure in their defense.
After getting the ball, McEachran did not dribble forward, but before Watergate could get close, he made a long pass over the top to the back of the Bucks Steelhorns midfielder.
This kick was very sudden and accurate! McEachran's personal ability is indeed beyond reproach!
If Gu Ran hadn't made McEachran embarrassed and depressed in this game, McEachran's performance would have been like a massacre of the novice village.
At the same time as McEachran made a long pass, Wickham, who was lurking on the right side of the penalty area, started quickly and moved forward at high speed to receive the ball.
The painter went up alone to defend, the rust strips blocked the far corner shooting channel, and the goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly moved to the near corner of the goal.
Wickham simply used his strong body to push away the painter who came to fight for it.
The painter reached out and pulled at Wickham's jersey.
But Wickham was very strong, and the painter was afraid that Wickham would dive and fall in the penalty area, so he did not dare to exert his full strength.
After Wickham stopped the ball, he took a few small steps to adjust, and then he swung his right foot and shot! This kick was explosive and the speed was extremely fast! The Tyrannosaurus Rex chose a good position and jumped up to save the ball with a roar——
Bang! The football hit the Tyrannosaurus Rex's left hand, making a heavy muffled sound!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex only felt his wrist go numb, and his fingers instantly lost consciousness!
The football slipped out of my hand! It bounced in the air and continued to fly towards the goal!!!
This powerful shot directly penetrated the five fingers of the Tyrannosaurus Rex! This was the U17 national team's shooting skills crushing the amateur goalkeeper! ...The ball went in!
Tyrannosaurus Rex covered his left hand and knelt down in front of the goal in pain - he had experienced such scenes too many times in the national competitions.
The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the goal was valid!
The score on the big screen at the Millennium Stadium was immediately changed to Southampton Stags Steelhorns 2:3 Westminster Missionaries! The Missionaries were in the lead again! The fans of Southampton and Cardiff immediately held their heads in pain, their moods like a roller coaster, falling to the bottom again.
The Westminster fans cheered happily! Their U17 international striker Wickham completed a hat trick!
Wickham's number of goals in the scorer list has once again tied with Gu Ran!
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Head coach Pratt clenched his fists to celebrate!
There was not much time left in the game, and the goal scored by the Missionaries almost put the Bucks Steelhorns into a desperate situation!
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns had tears in their eyes and looked up at the sky with their hands on their hips.
The confrontation in this game was more intense than any of their previous games. Their physical strength was almost reaching the limit, and their willpower was about to collapse.
Gu Ran ran to the goal, stretched out his hand to pull up the frustrated Tyrannosaurus Rex, and patted the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the cheek, "Cheer up! Don't give up! The game is not over yet!"
The Tyrannosaurus Rex gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and tightened the glove on his left hand.
Gu Ran shouted at the other Bucks Steelhorns players, "We are not just random people! We are! The Bucks Steelhorns of Southampton! Bucks Steelhorns! Fight to the end!"
Just this slogan can reawaken the fighting spirit of the Bucks Steelhorns!
"Steel Horns of the Stag! Fight to the bitter end!"
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns were like they had been injected with chicken blood, their morale was high, and they quickly stood in position! The fans at the scene were infected by such a passionate scene, and they applauded rhythmically, cheering for the Bucks Steelhorns! The game continues!
The two sides continued to engage in fierce fighting in the midfield.
In the 82nd minute, Gu Ran received a pass from Ximei and started to move forward at high speed.
McEachran quickly blocked Gu Ran's breakthrough path. Two midfielders of the Missionary Team rushed towards Gu Ran fiercely, and one of them directly raised his foot with studs on his shoe and kicked him!
This time the distance of the double-team and flying kick was very close!
When Gu Ran faced McEachran with the ball, he had almost no space and time to pass or dodge - unless he gave up the ball! If the ball was lost in this area, the Missionaries would immediately counterattack!
The Bucks Steelhorns are already one goal behind. If they lose another goal, there will be no suspense!
Gu Ran was so angry that he was ready to fight back!
Gu Ran concentrated his mind and added the remaining two talent points to the physical attribute and the Iron Man's passive skill respectively!
All the talent points have been used up! Physical fitness 73, Tin Man +5, should be able to withstand this wave! "No! No! Gu!" The team doctor Mai Fu on the sidelines shouted at the top of his lungs.
The fans of Southampton and Cardiff also covered their mouths anxiously——
Bang! Bread desperately fell to the ground to tackle and protect Gu Ran! He took the hit for Gu Ran! Bread and the opposing midfielder collided fiercely! Then, the two rolled on the grass in pain at the same time! Gu Ran and McEachran were also knocked to the ground by the inertia of the two! Beep beep beep!
The referee blew the whistle and stopped the game.
Gu Ran quickly got up and rushed to the bread!
"bread!!!"
Bread was kicked in the shoulder by a shoe spike, and the blood stained his jersey red! The first thing Bread said was: "Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Ran's eyes were filled with tears, "You are so fucking..."
