Sterling suddenly stopped and changed lanes!
——Everyone watching the game at the scene exclaimed in unison.
Sterling's physical talent is really strong enough to be able to stop and control the ball and change line in an instant while sprinting at full speed! As long as the line change is successful, Sterling can avoid Gu Ran and cut into the penalty area from behind Gu Ran.
but!
At the moment when Sterling stopped suddenly to control the ball, Gu Ran also stopped suddenly almost at the same time!
"WOW!"
All the Liverpool executives in the stands jumped up from their seats screaming!
This scene was not a shooting scene, nor a passing scene, but just a "simple" offensive and defensive duel between Gu Ran and Sterling. However, the excitement of this scene was no less than that between two English superstars! Sterling's emergency stop was very exciting, and Gu Ran's emergency stop was even more exciting than Sterling's!
Gu Ran's emergency stop defense not only requires strong physical talent and muscle control, but also requires super high basketball IQ to predict!
In other words, Gu Ran was already prepared to slow down and make an emergency stop before Sterling had any thought of stopping or changing lanes!
Gu Ran was absolutely confident that he could beat Sterling with his speed! Therefore, when Sterling showed any signs of making an emergency stop, Gu Ran would follow suit!
Sterling was completely dumbfounded. When he wanted to speed up and cut inside, it was too late!
Gu Ran didn't give Sterling a chance to get rid of it. He used his strong shoulder muscles to push Sterling's shoulders! The chariot crushed the little rabbit! Sterling groaned, was knocked back three steps, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Gu Ran immediately stretched out his foot to control the ball and started at high speed——
Beep beep beep!
The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Gu Ran had committed a foul.
Gu Ran could only stop dribbling and spread his hands towards the referee with a puzzled look on his face.
Although his confrontation with Sterling was a bit rough, he did not turn his palm to push Sterling, so it cannot be considered a foul at all.
The referee did not give Gu Ran a card, but awarded Liverpool U18 team a free kick on the left side, 35 meters away from the goal.
Coach Dodd stood in the technical area and protested loudly to the referee.
There were also bursts of boos from the Southampton U18 bench.
Even the Liverpool executives in the stands were frowning in displeasure.
What should have been a smooth defensive counterattack was ruined by the referee.
——The refereeing level in the UK is really the second worst in the world.
Despite the boos, the referee insisted on his decision.
Gu Ran smiled indifferently.
This kind of external interference has a great impact on your mentality, so you must not be anxious.
Gu Ran did not argue with the referee, but reached out in a friendly manner to Sterling, who was still lying on the grass with a confused look on his face.
Sterling was stunned for a moment, then he held Gu Ran's hand and was easily pulled up by Gu Ran.
Gu Ran rubbed Sterling's dreadlocked head, "Are you okay, Sterling?"
Sterling said: "Still a little confused..."
It’s okay to be confused.
Gu Ran grinned, "Haha, it's so fun to play football with you, let's continue."
Gu Ran thought to himself: I will continue to be awesome, and you will continue to be stupid! Sterling smiled and said, "Okay."
The game continues——
Liverpool U18 team's No. 11 midfielder stood at the penalty spot for the set piece, ready to take the penalty.
The Southampton U18 players quickly formed a human wall on the left side.
Sterling wandered outside the human wall and quietly moved to the far right end of the penalty area.
——In terms of the ability to find space, Sterling is still very strong.
Gu Ran followed Sterling silently.
——When it comes to the ability to make opponents uncomfortable, Gu Ran is still very strong.
The No. 11 player of Liverpool U18 team frowned and looked at the wall of Southampton U18 team. He hesitated for a long time and did not kick the ball.
The position of this set piece was a bit off, and Southampton U18's wall was arranged well enough, so it was too difficult to shoot directly.
The best option is to pass the ball to Sterling and let Sterling find an opportunity to shoot.
Player No. 11 saw Sterling in an open position and immediately made a long diagonal pass to the right flank.
Sterling started chasing the football instantly! Gu Ran started from two meters behind Sterling and was on par with Sterling in just one second!
Two seconds later, Gu Ran had surpassed Sterling by half a body length! Sterling's face was filled with horror! Gu Ran's sprinting speed increase was too incredible!
But Sterling was not going to give in easily! Sterling was also forced by Gu Ran to sprint at his highest speed ever!
The two people's positions remained parallel for the time being!
The two of them were like two parallel lightning bolts, crossing the empty grass at the same time! This scene was so exciting! All the spectators on the sidelines were excited and their adrenaline was soaring! Sterling's steps were nimble and light, and his feet were so fast that it seemed that he didn't touch the grass. The only way to judge was from the grass marks splashed under his feet.
Gu Ran's sprint was full of explosive power, and every step was like a chariot rolling over the lawn!
The two of them rushed to where the football landed almost in the blink of an eye!
When the football was only a few steps away from landing, Gu Ran suddenly squeezed in and blocked Sterling with his body, blocking Sterling tightly outside the football channel!
Sterling subconsciously reached out to push Gu Ran——
Gu Ran's upper body remained motionless! Sterling bounced himself onto the grass and rolled over!
“Ahhhh!”
The players on the Southampton U18 bench cheered and screamed wildly!
This is the real peak showdown!
It’s so fucking exciting just watching it!
Sterling couldn't remember how many times he had been knocked to the ground by Gu Ran.
Sterling collapsed on the grass and couldn't get up for a while. He could only watch with despair as Gu Ran easily raised his foot to stop the ball in front of him.
Fuck...
Is this guy really a human?
He is simply a wall! And it is a steel wall! And it is a steel wall that can move instantly! How can we fight against him? It is really impossible!!!
Light~ A plump blue bubble appeared in front of Sterling!
Gu Ran had no time to care and continued to run! At this moment, Gu Ran left everything behind, with only the feeling of adrenaline and dopamine in his mind! That's right! Playing football! It's so fucking cool! This feeling is getting more and more addictive! Seeing Gu Ran's quick counterattack, the defensive players of Liverpool U18 team hurriedly returned to defense! ——Originally, they had the ball in hand for the set-piece, but they didn't expect Sterling to be intercepted by Gu Ran in the blink of an eye! The players of Southampton U18 team also immediately took the opportunity to press forward and support Gu Ran! Both teams were desperately chasing! In theory, the defensive level of Liverpool U18 team is very high, and they are a team that excels in defense.
But this time, Gu Ran's interception and counterattack were too fast, and the Liverpool U18 team had no time to open the defense line.
Sterling's goal was so fatal!
What’s even more deadly is that Gu Ran’s sprint speed is even faster than in the first half!
The defensive players of Liverpool U18 team chased back desperately, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of Gu Ran!
Gu Ran is like a bolt of lightning caught in a hurricane! Speed 71, burst 75, stamina 77, high-speed sprint dribbling +4, extreme acceleration: Son of the Wind +2!
The violent aesthetic sprint set the whole stadium on fire! The Southampton U18 players on the bench waved their arms and screamed wildly!
All the Liverpool executives in the stands witnessed with their own eyes Gu Ran's explosive speed that surpassed Sterling!
Sterling is worth 2 million pounds now? Then Gu Ran must be worth 3 million pounds! Even more than that! The sooner you get Gu Ran, the sooner you can enjoy it! Compared with Gu Ran, Sterling is just a background board!
Buy, buy, buy! You must buy Gu Ran!
A star like Gu Ran must belong to our Liverpool!
Liverpool's top executives looked at Gu Ran's sprinting figure, their eyes full of unconcealed desire! - Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Ran dribbled the ball across the midfield line from his own penalty area.
The power of the B2B rear-positioned striker can no longer be concealed.
Almost all the players were left behind by Gu Ran, and only a Liverpool U18 central defender who stayed in his own half bravely tried to intercept Gu Ran.
This kind of central defender knows that he has no chance of winning against Gu Ran in a 1v1 situation.
Faced with the interception, Gu Ran did not slow down at all, but directly used a bicycle pedaling move with a violent and aesthetic feel!
The central defender subconsciously swayed with Gu Ran and immediately lost his balance! Gu Ran rushed past him with the ball from the other side!
This time the pass was so easy! So smooth! So simple!
It was easier and smoother than crossing the road at 4 a.m.! The central defender stabilized his center of gravity and wanted to chase Gu Ran, but it was too late!
By the time he had finished turning around, Gu Ran had already dribbled the ball to within 30 meters, about to enter the penalty area! Liverpool U18's goalkeeper rushed out with a nervous look on his face to intercept one-on-one.
Gu Ran dribbled the ball into the penalty area, slowing down slightly to steady his pace.
Liverpool U18 goalkeeper was secretly delighted and quickly rushed towards Gu Ran.
Just when the goalkeeper was about to rush in front of him, Gu Ran performed a gorgeous Marseille turn!
Protect the ball, spin, pull the ball, dribble alternately with left and right feet, and pay attention to every detail of micro-management!
Liverpool U18's goalkeeper was completely dumbfounded!
Before he could react, Gu Ran passed the goalkeeper with a waltz-like dance, and then shot the ball without hesitation! The goal was empty! Gu Ran would never miss this scoring opportunity——
The football shot into the net! The huge force of the shot made the net vibrate! Goal!
hat trick!
The way Marseille turned around and passed the goalkeeper to score into the empty goal was technically more exciting than the previous two goals!
Gu Ran then turned around, raised his right arm and ran wildly to celebrate!
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The Southampton U18 team's bench also went crazy at the same moment the goal was scored! "Yeah! Yeah! Damn it, Yeah!" Coach Dodd in the technical area roared and clenched his fists and cheered! Reversal! Super reversal!
Gu Ran is too strong! In the 53rd minute of the second half, Gu Ran, with his overwhelming B2B strength, went straight into the Liverpool U18 penalty area from his own penalty area, and passed the attacking goalkeeper with a stunning Marseille turn, and he finished it in one fell swoop! He overtook the score! He came back from 2-0 to 3-0!!!
This goal is amazing!
It was not just about stealing the ball from Sterling with speed, nor was it just about the violent aesthetic of riding away from the opponent, nor was it just about Ronaldo-style bicycle kicking, nor was it just about Marseille turning past the goalkeeper who had rushed out to intercept...
Gu Ran was calm, like an experienced killer! One fatal strike! Every technical move was connected very smoothly! It was amazing! Although this was just a friendly match between youth teams, it was also Gu Ran's first game as a professional player! He completed a hat trick in the first game. In a sense, this was very similar to Alan Shearer's growth trajectory!
Alan Shearer said so many words of praise for Gu Ran in one breath! As long as he was praising Gu Ran, his language was extremely smooth.
However, Evelin beside him had completely forgotten about the reporter’s interview!
Evelyn was screaming "Ah ...
She now had only one thought in her mind...invite Gu Ran to her house to ride a horse! Of course, not everyone on the bench was cheering for Gu Ran.
Kawai Yuichi's fists were clenched so hard that they made a rattling sound, and his entire face was distorted beyond recognition because of jealousy.
Baka...Gu Ran is so strong...
How could this happen?
During normal training, Gu Ran's performance was only slightly better than mine, and he only arrived 10 minutes earlier than me every day!
In the team training match, Gu Ran scored two goals, but I also scored one goal. He was only one goal better than me!
Why was Gu Ran in such a strong competitive state during this friendly match? It was like he was a completely different person!
Gu Ran is simply a ruthless chariot, a cold-blooded goal-scoring machine!
Gu Ran's three goals were more beautiful and exciting than the last...
Baka...
I don't want to admit it, but I really have to admit it!
This bastard Gu Ran is really better than me!
I see...it must be because he goes to the training ground 10 minutes earlier than me every morning! But why does he always arrive at the training ground 10 minutes earlier than me?
Why is this happening! Why!!! Kawai Yuichi clenched his fists unwillingly.
On the other side, Suzuki Honami, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, was completely immersed in Gu Ran's wonderful goal.
“Ah~”
"Gu Ranjun..."
“Amazing!”
"It's really hard for me to compare which one is better, his performance on the court or in bed..."
“They should be just as powerful!”
Honami smiled sweetly, and then quickly held her cheeks, which were as hot as a girl's first love, "Ah, how embarrassing, I actually said such words to myself..."
At this moment, the Liverpool executives in the stands excitedly applauded Gu Ran's wonderful performance.
"Gu Ran is really awesome!"
“Our decision at halftime was the right one!”
"Yes! We have to buy this boy!"
"Must buy! Must buy! Must buy!"
"Even if it's over £3 million, we have to buy it!"
"I can guarantee with my head that after Linda watches Gu Ran's video, she will definitely fall in love with this guy!"
"Michael, remember this! No matter what conditions this guy offers, even if he wants my wife, I am willing to give it to him!"
Edwards was startled and quickly adjusted his glasses. "This, this... isn't good?"
Good man, you are willing to risk this! Then a senior Liverpool executive next to him curled his lips and said, "... Hey, old Peter, your wife is 60 this year, right?"
"Nonsense, it's only 59!"
"Fuck, you've probably wanted to change your wife for a long time, haven't you?"
"Hahaha! Killing two birds with one stone, how great!"
Edwards couldn't help but laugh.
Edwards felt very happy when he thought that he would be able to communicate with Gu Ran immediately and offer Gu Ran a price to lure Gu Ran to Liverpool.
Liverpool's top executives were chatting and laughing with each other, not feeling depressed at all about being overtaken by Southampton U18 team.
Originally, this was just a friendly match, and it was a friendly match between youth teams.
Liverpool's top management has already decided that this match is to observe the game of "Liverpool's future rising star" Gu Ran.
Their mentality also changed from appreciating Sterling's wonderful performance to appreciating Gu Ran's wonderful performance.
The better Gu Ran performs, the more it proves their "wisdom".
At this time, Gu Ran raised his hands and rushed to the area where he had previously intercepted Sterling.
The blue skill bubbles on the ground are still warm! It feels like killing Hua Xiong with warm wine.
Gu Ran concentrated his mind and swept: Flexible ball control +1.
Gu Ran: ...
This skill doesn't even have a prefix, so it's not a star skill.
As a basic skill, this skill is pretty good.
However, ordinary players have a high chance of picking up non-star skills, so there is no need to look upon it with extra care just because it is an ordinary skill dropped by Sterling.
Moreover, there is only one last chance to pick up the item today.
Gu Ran’s target is still Son of Wind +3.
Therefore, this flexible ball control skill seems a bit useless.
Gu Ran thought about it quickly and decided to give up this skill with great reluctance.
I still have to brush the Son of Wind! Sterling, you have to work hard! You have to work hard to make me happy!
Gu Ran turned around and grinned at Sterling.
Sterling was numb from head to toe...
The terrifying feeling of being stared at by a ferocious beast lingers! The game continues——
Liverpool U18 team kicks off.
The previous goal made the Liverpool U18 team's morale low, and they seemed to be more cautious in attacking.
The Southampton U18 team was full of morale and actively fought forward for the ball.
The two sides engaged in a fierce close confrontation in the middle area.
There were several times when players from both teams piled on top of each other, rolling around in the mud and grass.
Sterling is still running actively on the wing, waiting for the opportunity to pass.
This also exposed the tactical monotony of the Liverpool U18 team - apart from using Sterling to open the situation, the Liverpool U18 team had no better way to attack.
Gu Ran did not specifically defend Sterling, but frequently went to the middle to provide support, and whenever he had the chance he would move to the left.
Although Southampton U18 team's attack was fierce, the cooperation between the players and Gu Ran had not yet reached a tacit understanding, so they missed several good opportunities.
Both sides made substitutions during the dead ball period.
Coach Dodd replaced the center back, the midfielder who couldn't keep up with the attacking rhythm, and the right winger.
Coach Mark replaced the right midfielder and right back as well as a midfielder and two central defenders - this substitution was also intended to allow the new substitutes to have enough physical strength to fight against and restrict Gu Ran.
But, this obviously didn't work.
On the contrary, after the substitution, because he was not in good form, Gu Ran broke through twice in a row.
Liverpool U18 team is playing too hard and it is getting harder and harder.
Southampton U18 team launched an offensive wave, with Gu Ran dominating the backcourt, midfield and frontcourt.
The second half of the game was in the 71st minute.
Southampton U18's attack became more and more fierce, with both flanks rushing into the 30-meter area of Liverpool U18.
Gu Ran on the left side led the attack, and Liverpool U18 team's right side was completely penetrated by Gu Ran almost in the blink of an eye.
Liverpool U18's defense was pinned down by Gu Ran to the left side of the small penalty area and the bottom line. Gu Ran then used a magic kick to hit the weak area behind Liverpool U18's defense!
The football drew a nearly 30-meter-long diagonal line in the air! The fanboy No. 19 forward who had been waiting nearby immediately shook off the player who was marking him and ran towards the point where the through ball landed.
Gu Ran gave it very comfortable!
The No. 19 striker didn't even need to stop the ball, he just kicked it towards the goal! The Liverpool U18 goalkeeper had already determined the route of the shot, but his body was still a beat short! The football passed over the goalkeeper's fingers and easily went into the net!
Goal! 2-0 comeback from 4-0!
Southampton U18 team overtook by two goals!
After scoring the goal, the No. 19 striker was full of excitement. He desperately ran through the penalty area full of Liverpool defenders and rushed towards Gu Ran with open arms!
Liverpool U18's defensive players were all very depressed, with bubbles popping out of their mouths!
They were leading by 2 goals in the first half, but lost by 2 goals in the second half!
Although this goal was not scored by Gu Ran, Gu Ran's through ball was really amazing! He was completely guiding the striker to run and score!
Sterling looked at Gu Ran who was surrounded by Southampton U18 players celebrating, with an extremely depressed expression on his face.
This kind of through ball is something he would never be able to pass at this stage.
Not to mention the current stage, he won’t be able to pass it on in the future either.
but……
Sterling thought: If someone could feed me this kind of cake, I would definitely seize it.
Of course I will!!! It would be great if Gu Ran could feed me cake...
Sterling couldn't help but look at Gu Ran, and there was a hint of desire in his eyes.
Light~ A full blue skill bubble appears under Sterling's feet.
