After Gu Ran came on the court, the players around him immediately came up to him and high-fived him.

Gu Ran was not polite and directly said to the left midfielder who had just come on the field: "Pay attention to switching positions with me."

"...Okay!" The left forward nodded.

Although Gu Ran didn't have a close relationship with these U18 players and was very low-key during training, when he was on the field, he had the temperament of a leader! His aura was so strong that it could not be doubted!

Moreover, Southampton U18 team played very badly in the first 30 minutes, and the morale of the team was low. They desperately needed a strong leader to control the game.

Of course, the most important point is that Gu Ran not only has the temperament and aura of a leader, but also has the strength to convince these U18 boys.

Therefore, the U18 boys on the field were very willing to listen to Gu Ran at this time.

Gu Ran then said to his own central defender: "Pay attention to my back. You must help me fill in the position in time when I need to."

"Okay!" The center back felt a great sense of responsibility and nodded quickly.

The young forward came up to him wearing the No. 19 jersey and asked, "Gu, what can I do for you?"

Gu Ran said: "Just rush to the door."

"Okay!" The little forward's eyes were filled with the hope of scoring a goal.

Gu Ran trotted over to take a defensive position and glanced at Sterling who was still immersed in happiness.

Sterling didn't take Gu Ran seriously at all.

Gu Ran: Hehe…

In the technical area on the sidelines, Coach Dodd took a deep breath.

As the head coach, he could clearly feel the changes that Gu Ran brought to the team as soon as he came on the field! Alan Shearer, who was watching the game from the bench, was also full of anticipation: Finally! Finally, I can see the strength of Southampton's legendary rising star!

Southampton's rising star vs Liverpool's rising star! Evelyn, who was sitting next to him, was even more excited than him: "Ahhh! Gu Ran is so handsome! So handsome!"

"I really like his calm and resolute expression in the face of adversity!"

"That's so cool! So cool!"

Evelin’s attention finally shifted to Gu Ran, “I really want to rush up and interview him right now! I really want to invite him to my house… to ride horses!”

Alan Shearer secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Gu Ran! You are my savior! You saved me! Du——

The referee blew the whistle, signaling the game to continue.

Liverpool U18 has the ball. The serve position of this ball is on the left side near the 30-meter danger zone.

Southampton U18 launched an all-round man-to-man defense against Liverpool U18.

Liverpool U18 team served the ball quickly, and the right back straightened his waist and abdomen and threw the ball directly to Sterling who came up to receive the ball.

Sterling's running in space is absolutely top-notch at the U18 level, and even in the Premier League, it can reach first-class level.

This is a real gifted monster, you can't help but accept it.

Sterling ran into the open space, jumped up and puffed out his chest towards the football, then perfectly unloaded the ball at his feet.

His basic skills are solid and his stop was very skillful - the Liverpool executives in the stands were fascinated by the performance and some were even ready to celebrate Sterling's hat trick.

Sterling raised the corner of his mouth happily, and suddenly stopped, turned around, broke through and accelerated——

I'm going to wear a hat!

Huh? Why is there a wall? When? Sterling's body hit a solid wall of flesh and was immediately bounced back three steps! Sterling was shocked and quickly stabilized his body, controlled the football under his feet, and looked closely: he saw the black-haired No. 9 Gu Ran standing in front of him with an indifferent face.

Half a second ago, this was still an empty space and no one around had caught up, but the moment Sterling got the ball, Gu Ran blocked Sterling's path to turn around and break through with his ghostly body!

Gu Ran's positioning speed was too fast, his physical confrontation was too strong, and... his prediction was too good! With just this one move, he restricted Sterling and the entire Liverpool U18 team's fast break!

Sterling was a little confused: No. 9? ? ? I was blocked by the opponent's striker?

Awesome - Coach Dodd, standing in the technical area, couldn't help but clench his fists and shout loudly in his heart.

This kind of defensive blocking scene never happened in the first half! Sure enough, substituting Gu Ran really had an immediate effect! Hahahaha! As a coach, I am really awesome!

The Liverpool executives in the stands were also slightly stunned, but did not care too much.

In their eyes, this was just a trivial confrontation.

——What's more, the ball is still in Sterling's feet.

Only Liverpool's head of data analysis, Michael Edwards, frowned and stared at the No. 9 of Southampton U18 team with sharp eyes.

The confrontation on the field changed rapidly! Sterling, who was defended by Gu Ran, did not give up. Instead, he faked a move to the left and then suddenly accelerated to the right! This fake move was extremely realistic.

Sterling has excellent physical talents and his technical movements are connected very quickly. His body and knees have completely shifted to the left, but he can quickly pull back to the right in an instant!

Ordinary players really can't perform such realistic and beautiful moves.

When faced with this realistic fake move, most U18 players will basically fall for it and be dribbled past.

However, Gu Ran is not an ordinary U18 player.

Gu Ran's football IQ is 12 years ahead of this era! Gu Ran uses his brain to play football!

Not to mention the ability to see through fake moves, just from the tactical situation, Gu Ran can conclude that Sterling will definitely go to the right.

To the left of Sterling is the left sideline of the field. There are at least two Southampton U18 players on the left sideline defending to prevent Liverpool U18 from overlapping.

So, in this situation, unless Sterling is mentally retarded, he would choose to squeeze through the narrow gap on the left side.

Moreover, Sterling's characteristic is that he likes to dribble inside.

Gu Ran didn't need to see Sterling's realistic fake moves to know that this guy was definitely going to break through to the right - this is the embodiment of basketball IQ.

With a high golf IQ, one can make the most correct on-the-spot choices without even having to spend extra time thinking and analyzing.

While Sterling was making a fake move, Gu Ran turned to the right and intercepted!

Sterling's sudden start is extremely fast!

But Gu Ran’s turning and sprinting speed was not slow at all!

Sterling had just started when Gu Ran's mountain-like body pressed towards Sterling!

Sterling swung his legs at a high frequency, trying to eat Gu Ran alive with speed like he did to other defenders before!

Gu Ran continued to stick to Sterling at high speed, keeping the same frequency of his legs as Sterling! At this moment, Gu Ran's basic speed was 71, burst sprint 75, high-speed sprint dribbling +4, all at full power!

Sterling was as fast as lightning, and Gu Ran was also as fast as lightning! In terms of speed, Gu Ran was not inferior at all!

The two were like two side-by-side lightning, flashing rapidly in the frontcourt of Southampton U18!

This scene made all the people watching the game outside the stadium excited!

Too exciting! Gu Ran was not in a hurry to kick the ball away from Sterling. He knew that Sterling had been playing in the professional youth training camp since he was a child and had a good basic skill of ball control. Although Gu Ran had +3 interceptions and steals, he did not have the foundation of professional training after all. If the interception and steal failed, Sterling would be able to get rid of him directly.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Gu Ran simply used his body to suppress Sterling's speed - his teammates were all professionals and could be trusted at times like this.

75 points of strength and 75 points of power also play a very crucial role at this time!

Sterling tried desperately to speed up and get rid of him. He could obviously be faster. He could obviously be a body length faster than Gu Ran. However, under the suppression of Gu Ran's body, Sterling simply couldn't increase his speed to his maximum level!

Gu Ran began to slow down actively! Sterling was also suppressed by Gu Ran and could only slow down passively! Two midfielders from Southampton U18 team immediately came over, forming a triangle with Gu Ran! Sterling was numb! This was the strongest defense he had encountered since the first half! Sterling subconsciously pushed Gu Ran with his elbow!

Gu Ran just squeezed Sterling, and no matter how Sterling pushed him with his elbow, he couldn't move him at all!

Even though Gu Ran looks a little thin, his muscles are extremely strong and full of explosive power!

Sterling was completely shocked!

Who is this No. 9 striker?

Why is he so good defensively?

Not only Sterling on the field was shocked, but Coach Mark in the technical area on the sidelines also widened his eyes in astonishment.

His trump card, his son of God, his rising star, was actually blocked! Was this a coincidence? Or was Southampton's rising star Gu Ran really that strong? No! It must be a coincidence! Coach Mark shouted loudly to cheer for Sterling.

But Sterling couldn't be faster or happier at all.

Gu Ran’s pressure was too strong. Not only could he not get rid of Gu Ran, he didn’t even have a chance to pass the ball!

As long as he dared to pass the ball, Gu Ran would dare to intercept it! Sterling was completely under Gu Ran's rule!

When the Liverpool executives in the stands saw this scene, they gasped in shock.

Just now, when Southampton U18 team's No. 9 player blocked Sterling's quick start, they didn't take it seriously, but now, they really can't take it lightly.

"Who's that Saints kid wearing number 9?"

"Shouldn't number 9 be a striker? Shit! A striker is so good at defense? Is Southampton trying to cultivate a monster?"

“Is this guy Gu Ran, Southampton’s rising star?!”

"Isn't that Gu Ran number 47? Hasn't he been substituted out?"

"It seems that this is the real Gu Ran... I heard that Gu Ran is very handsome. In the eyes of Southampton girls, he is a popular figure."

"You know what, this No. 9 is much more handsome than No. 47."

"Cunning Southampton! They put their promising star on the bench!"

"Our Sterling was actually defended by him! It seems that he is indeed the real Gu Ran!"

"Nothing, maybe Sterling is not ready yet, and we are still two goals ahead!"

Liverpool's top executives relaxed again and continued chatting and laughing.

At this moment, the fierce confrontation on the field is still going on.

Sterling approached the left side of the penalty area, but he had no momentum and could not move forward.

Gu Ran still stuck to Sterling and didn't kick easily.

The other two Southampton U18 midfielders double-teamed the team in time and kicked the ball away.

Sterling wanted to protect the ball and turn around, but with Gu Ran there, all his strength was suppressed by Gu Ran and he had no chance at all.

One of the Southampton U18 midfielders saw the opportunity and neatly stole the ball from Sterling's feet! Gu Ran turned around and started! Sprinting towards the empty space in the midfield!

Another reason why he doesn't kick easily is that he is ready to turn around and sprint at any time!

Sterling was stunned for a moment, then quickly started to chase back, but he was obviously two beats slower than Gu Ran.

The Southampton U18 midfielder who stole the ball was also very professional. Seeing Gu Ran speeding up, he immediately sent a low pass to the empty area in the midfield! Southampton U18's defensive counterattack is coming!

This pass was very comfortable! Gu Ran's starting speed just accelerated to the peak state! The surrounding Liverpool U18 defensive players quickly surrounded Gu Ran's area in the form of a circle!

When Gu Ran was about to touch the ball, Sterling chased after him like a mad dog!

I have to say, this guy is really talented!

Without any restrictions, this guy's speed is simply too explosive! He can catch up even if he is two beats behind!

Seeing Sterling approaching, Gu Ran didn't even turn his head and directly bumped into him with his shoulder.

Sterling was knocked out of the path of chasing the ball. He staggered for several steps before he managed to keep his body steady and not fall on the slippery grass.

He didn’t fall, but he couldn’t catch up with Gu Ran either.

On the court, speed is important, but physical confrontation is more important.

Speed ​​alone without confrontation as a foundation is useless.

Gu Ran's move to push Sterling away was full of calmness and dominance! And the prediction of a high football IQ!

Alan Shearer on the bench jumped up from his seat excitedly: "Great!!!"

His adjectives are extremely scarce.

The word "good" is the limit of his emotional expression.

Evelyn next to him shouted passionately, "Yes! Gu Ran! Yes! It's so exciting! That's it! Kill him! Beat him! Two stars collide, you are the real star of hope! Go!"

On the other side, Suzuki Honami also covered her heaving chest with both hands, muttering, "Gu Ranjun... it's really great! Ah~"

On the pitch, Liverpool U18 team formed a double-team trap with four players in front and behind in the middle area.

Gu Ran was blocked in front and pursued from behind.

At this time, if you lose the rhythm even a little, you will be tightly trapped.

But Gu Ran never loses his beat, and his acceleration in the second half becomes faster and faster.

The support from other teammates has not caught up yet, and the forward No. 19 who wanted to get a rebound has also fallen behind and is running desperately to support.

Gu Ran did not stop and continued to speed up and rush to the front of Liverpool U18's penalty area! Liverpool U18's two central defenders double-teamed him from the left and right, trying to suppress Gu Ran's speed with physical confrontation and buy time for his teammates chasing behind.

Gu Ran didn't bother with them at all. He accelerated and dribbled directly, passing between the two people at a speed as fast as Bale overtaking! The Liverpool executives in the stands all exclaimed! Although Gu Ran's speed was not as fast as Sterling, it was enough to crush the Liverpool U18's defense! Moreover, Sterling's speed was like a hare, more than agile, but not strong enough.

Gu Ran's dribbling was like a chariot, full of the sense of violent aesthetics! To put it more bluntly: Sterling's sprint was like an extreme escape, but Gu Ran's sprint was like killing anyone who stood in his way! Every spectator outside the stadium had their hearts pounding wildly at this moment because of Gu Ran's violent aesthetic sprint!

Coach Mark, who was standing in the technical area, yelled loudly: "Guard him! Guard him! Guard him! He is Gu Ran!"

All the Liverpool U18 players were stunned.

Wasn't the No. 47 who was beaten up by them just now Gu Ran? This was the real Gu Ran? Fuck... It was a waste of energy to beat up the rubbish No. 47!

It turns out that No. 9 is the real Gu Ran! Southampton’s rising star!

No wonder... No. 9 was able to stop Sterling's breakthrough right from the start!

The real Gu Ran is a bit difficult to deal with!

Liverpool U18 team all tried their best to block——

Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Ran broke free of the double team and rushed to the top of the Liverpool U18 team's penalty area with the ball.

This position is where Yuichi Kawai wanted to make a tiger-style shot but was snatched away by Liverpool U18 team and launched a fatal counterattack!

Apart from the two central defenders on his sides, the only one left is the goalkeeper!

1v3!

There is a chance for a long shot! However, he must first get rid of the two chasing central defenders on his side and hurry up! Otherwise, the shot will be destroyed and the Liverpool U18 players chasing behind can quickly return to defense.

The level of professional youth training players is much higher than that of amateur school team players! The opportunity is fleeting! There is no room for hesitation! Gu Ran frowned, stopped immediately, and kicked his foot exaggeratedly——

This action is exactly the tiger style in the comics!

Kawai Yuu on the bench suddenly widened his eyes! His heart froze in his chest!

Gu Ran, that bastard... can actually do the Tiger Style! ? Coach Dodd in the technical area was sweating coldly: This exaggerated shooting action is not practical at all in such a fast and fierce confrontation! Gu Ran, my ancestor! What are you doing? Did you get infected by that idiot Kawai Yuichi? Fuck! It's all Kawai Yuichi's fault!

Coach Dodd wanted to tear Kawai Yuichi into pieces.

In the stands, Liverpool's top executives all grinned.

I thought No. 9 Gu Ran was a king, but he turned out to be the same as No. 47...

Before these Liverpool executives could laugh out loud, the smiles on their faces completely froze in the next moment.

At the top of the penalty area, the two central defenders were very experienced. One of them blocked Gu Ran's body and pulled Gu Ran's jersey, while the other player fell to the ground and blocked Gu Ran's tiger-style shot just like he did to Kawai Yuichi.

However, just when Gu Ran's "tiger shot" was about to touch the ball, Gu Ran suddenly retracted his strength and shook his ankle! The football was immediately dexterously pushed to the area behind the central defender who had fallen to the ground to tackle the ball! Fake shot +2!

The tiger style just now was just a fake move! The whole audience was suffocated! If Kawai Yuichi's use of the tiger style shot is at the son level, then Gu Ran's use of the tiger style shot is at the father level!

Yuichi Kawai stood up from the bench!

Baka...

Gu Ran, I hate you! You actually used my most proud Tiger Shot as your fake move...

Kawai Yu was so excited that his blood pressure couldn't keep up and he almost fell over! Coach Dodd clenched his fists and cheered excitedly! "I knew it! I knew it! This is a fake move! I knew it a long time ago! Hahaha!"

——On the pitch, the central defender who fell to the ground was so shocked that he turned into an emoticon! The other central defender who was pulling Gu Ran quickly exerted his strength and grabbed Gu Ran's arm tightly, preventing Gu Ran from getting away!

This is an obvious technical foul! But this is the Melwood Training Center, Liverpool's home base, and the referee did not blow the whistle! Gu Ran is very strong, and the Liverpool U18 central defender is also very strong, and he is pulling very hard! Under the pull of this strong central defender, Gu Ran has no physical advantage!

Gu Ran's body immediately lost balance!

——The Southampton U18 players on the bench exclaimed in unison.

Just when everyone thought that this wave of attack was over, Gu Ran was pulled down and lost his balance. Gu Ran's strength had already been concentrated on his right leg! The moment Gu Ran fell to the ground, he swung his right leg with force, using an unconventional, extremely easy to get injured shooting action, and shot from a long distance! Heavy artillery long-range shot: Cloud Piercing Arrow +3!

Heavy artillery long-range shot: Earth-shattering +3!

Heavy artillery long-range: cruise missile +1!

Triple long shot superposition!

Just do it in one word!

The football jumped up from the ground and shot towards the top of the goal suddenly and violently at an upward angle!

Everyone at the scene held their breath instantly——

No one expected that Gu Ran could still shoot from a long distance even though he had lost his balance!

The Liverpool U18 goalkeeper didn't react at all and just stood there!

The football was like a precision-guided cruise missile, drawing a domineering upward angle line full of violent aesthetics, shooting straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

The ball went in! This was a world-class long-range shot that was enough to be described as shocking! The power of the football was so great that the entire Liverpool U18 net was stirred up, and the goal also vibrated!

The Liverpool U18 goalkeeper was stunned.

What a monster... He was defending Sterling in the opposite penalty area just now, how come he beat me in less than half a minute? How can he save it? Don't say that I am just a young and handsome U18 goalkeeper. Even if Cech and Casillas were combined, they couldn't save it! The strong central defender who had just pulled Gu Ran to the ground was also dumbfounded.

Who is this No. 9? How can he shoot in this situation? And he scored? Is there an 8x scope on his foot?

Sterling was also dumbfounded, and there was no happiness on his face at all.

All the Liverpool executives in the stands opened their eyes wide and their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief!

This kick is so beautiful and so exciting...

Compared to Gu Ran's world-class goal, Sterling's two goals were not even that great! Gu Ran was struggling with two central defenders, and he was able to kick such a violent and aesthetic long shot even though his body had lost balance! Is this... Southampton's rising star? Although he is not as fast as Sterling, his defensive ability, raiding ability, and finishing ability are really shocking!

I thought Gu Ran was a king... I didn't expect that Gu Ran was a god! It's so... fragrant!!! Michael Edwards, the head of data analysis at Liverpool FC, was stunned!

After scoring the goal, Gu Ran quickly climbed up from the slippery grass, raised his right arm high, and ran towards the visiting team's bench to celebrate!

Super Shooter: Review celebration +1!

While running wildly with his hands raised, Gu Ran secretly complained in his heart: This celebration is too stupid...

But in order to stack the hit rate and excitement rate buffs, just be a little stupid!
