The deputy captain Walton, the central defender, raised his foot to block the ball, and the ball slowed down and changed direction significantly, reflecting to the right side of the goal.

Fortunately, Davis reacted very quickly, and with a beautiful dive, he held the ball firmly in his arms.

Southampton fans had a false alarm! Davies' performance in this game was remarkable!

Although he lost three goals in the first half, Davis became the mainstay of Southampton in the crucial second half! Even Gu Ran couldn't help but think in his heart: If it was a Tyrannosaurus Rex...

Liverpool fans on the other side held their heads and lamented:

It has to be said that Liverpool's offensive momentum improved greatly after Gerrard and two other players came on the pitch, but it was only blossoming but not bearing fruit.

Liverpool's score is still firmly locked by Southampton.

The score of 3:2 was a defeat even though it was a victory for the arrogant Liverpool fans.

For the Southampton fans who were already completely desperate, if they could maintain this score until the end, it would undoubtedly be a huge victory!

Just when the fans of both sides were feeling sad/rejoicing, Gu Ran started to move forward quickly from the goal post of the small penalty area! Gu Ran's speed was like a white lightning! In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the edge of his own penalty area.

Davis, who was holding the ball in shock, reacted immediately and threw the ball with great force into the unmanned area in the middle!

Coach Adkins raised his arms and yelled, "Counterattack! Fast break!"

Southampton quickly followed up! Liverpool players also responded immediately!

Kuyt started almost at the same time as Gu Ran!

Kuit used his body to hold Gu Ran, and at the same time secretly pulled Gu Ran's arm to prevent Gu Ran from getting away easily! Gu Ran used all his strength to fight Kuit, but he couldn't get rid of him at all.

Kuyt's defense is as sharp as his offense! The name of B2B Shield is not for nothing! But at the same time, Kuyt can't completely suppress Gu Ran!

Gu Ran's sprinting speed was only suppressed by 30% by Kuyt, but the sprinting route was still straight!

Kuyt was also extremely shocked! It was the first time that he was made so embarrassed by a rookie in the English Premier League!

At this moment, Gerrard also quickly came up from the corner flag area to block Gu Ran's breakthrough channel on the left!

Two top Premier League stars, Liverpool's B2Bx2, actually tried their best to surround Gu Ran, a pure English player! The fans at the scene were all shocked! Even Gu Ran himself was almost shocked!

Holy shit…

You really think highly of me!

Two superstars teamed up to clamp me!

Oh~ It feels so good! It feels so good!!!

Not only was Gu Ran not afraid at all, but every cell in his body became highly excited.

That's right! The more he was double-teamed, the more he enjoyed it! Only a real man could understand this kind of enjoyment! Violent sprint +1, Son of the Wind +3, Reasonable collision +4, High-speed sprint dribbling +4, Explosion 78, and adrenaline...all on! Gu Ran rushed directly under the tight double-team of Gerrard and Kuyt!

Kuyt almost couldn't hold on!

Kuyt was forced to use all his strength! Gerrard was so shocked that his face was full of wrinkles!

Although they still worked together to limit Gu Ran's sprint ability by 50%, but... it was really a stretch!

The three players' muscle strength exploded to the extreme. The off-ball attack and defense on the wing was more eye-catching than Lallana dribbling the ball in the middle! Southampton fans were jumping and cheering wildly in the stands! They were cheering for the two superstars Gu Ran and Buxu, and they were booing for Gerrard and Kuyt teaming up to bully a pure rookie in the English League One!

Liverpool fans were stunned and could not believe what they saw.

Under the strong double-teaming of two top Premier League stars, Gu Ran's counterattack speed was indeed not fast enough, and his running position was far behind Lallana.

This is the intensity of the professional league.

Even with various skill bonuses, even if adrenaline explodes, even if dopamine in the brain is secreted crazily, even if the body is excited to the extreme... it is impossible to break through the defensive positions of two experienced top stars at the same time.

There is no need to say much about Kuyt's defensive strength. Gerrard's defensive strength is only stronger than Kuyt, not worse than Kuyt.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gerrard should be one of the top 10 players in the world in terms of personal ability, personal willpower and team influence in the past 20 years.

His overall comprehensive strength level is definitely among the top 10 in the world in the past 20 years.

Gerrard joined Liverpool's youth training camp at the age of 9. He has a strong English midfield style - rugged and practical.

Gerrard has good innate conditions and abundant physical fitness. When he first debuted, he was not needed to organize the team, so he played as a B2B defensive midfielder with a large running range and wide coverage.

But if you say Gerrard is a talented player, then that's not the case.

He is a balanced player who has talent but his talent is not outstanding. He is a player who can play at the top level no matter where he is placed.

In terms of defensive strangling ability, Gerrard is not as good as Simeone, Wild Boar Davis, and Butcher Gattuso in the long run, and not as good as Keane and Vieira in the short run, and even not as good as Yaya Toure, Big Buffalo Essien, and intercepting robot Makelele.

However, if we add in the offensive ability, organizational ability, linking ability, shooting ability, and team spiritual leadership, none of the above people can compare with Gerrard.

Gerrard is the type of player who, although he may not be the best in every single event, is always just one step away from the best in any single event related to football.

From an offensive perspective, Gerrard has strong dribbling, dribbling, organizing, penetrating, and goal-scoring abilities. He can also form first-class cooperation with his teammates, and his threatening passes are extremely penetrating.

Especially his one-touch ball, which is Gerrard's famous skill. In the current Premier League, no one can match him.

From a defensive perspective, although Gerrard does not have the ability of a meat grinder, his interception ability is also extremely strong. He usually takes the initiative to steal the ball, and his prediction and positioning are also extremely accurate.

Gerrard's greatest skill in defense is the tackle.

Gerrard has a very high tackle success rate, his movements are clean and neat, and he rarely commits fouls.

Gerrard's long passes and through balls are also very strong. His long passes are very fast and have a flat arc, and can always be passed to the empty space in the first time. Although his through balls do not look as gorgeous and eye-catching as Lampard's magic lamp, they are very practical and the ball speed is extremely fast, making it difficult for ordinary defensive players to react.

Gerrard is also very good at taking free kicks. His leg swings with a large amplitude and the time he touches the ball is very short, so the arc is very large and the power is extremely strong.

The biggest feature of Gerrard's free kicks is their explosive power. Few goalkeepers can catch his free kicks.

Gerrard's dribbling and passing skills are not very delicate. After all, a pure English midfielder doesn't care about passing skills at all. However, Gerrard's impact is very strong, and his "long strides" are his signature move.

In addition, Gerrard also has a super violent long-range shooting ability.

In short, whether in terms of personal ability or reputation, Gerrard deserves the word "legend".

Gerrard is the epitome of versatility.

Being closely guarded by an all-around legend like Gerrard, with another super jack of all trades like Kuyt next to him - a double B2B defense, Gu Ran, a pure rookie in English League One, couldn't get rid of it even if he used cheats.

After all, Gu Ran is a growing type, and his current growth rate is far from enough to compete with the legendary star.

At this time, you have to use your brain...

Gu Ran quickly scanned the situation on the field: At this time, Lallana was still dribbling towards the midfield, with two Liverpool defenders in front of him and three Liverpool defenders beside him.

Liverpool's encirclement of the ball holder is shrinking rapidly.

There is not much time left for Lallana to pass the ball or break through.

Carragher and Agger retreated outside the penalty area to block Lallana's breakthrough route! Schneiderlin was desperately accelerating to the right to support.

However, engineer Maxi squeezed Schneiderlin tightly, cutting off the connection between Lallana and Schneiderlin.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Southampton. Southampton's left and right wings have been almost destroyed by Liverpool.

Liverpool's defensive performance after Gerrard came on was obviously many times stronger than before.

But...Southampton still has a chance!

Because Gerrard and Kuyt, two top players, are both on the left side, there is still a lot of space in the left wing area.

Gu Ran's brows twitched slightly, and his peripheral vision caught sight of Chamberlain who was not being guarded.

It's time to use Chamberlain again...

At this moment, Chamberlain is speeding towards the middle!

Chamberlain's face was filled with excitement: ...Finally, it's my turn to perform! Give me the ball!!! Chamberlain was very fast and crossed the center line in the blink of an eye. When he was about to raise his hand to shout back to Lallana in front of him, he saw Gu Ran on the side pointing to the empty space on the left side of the penalty area, "Chamberlain! That's right! Go there!"

Chamberlain's face immediately turned green! ...Do I need you to teach me? I'm not a rookie, how could I not know where to insert? How could I not know that the area was right behind Carragher, and as long as I inserted it there, I could form a two-on-one with Lallana?

I can...but I won't!

I just want to go down the middle! Chamberlain ignored him and continued running down the middle.

There is no tacit understanding between the two of them, let alone the degree of cooperation, which is even negative.

However, Kuyt and Gerrard don't think so.

In their opinion, Lambert was already following up in the middle of Southampton, and Chamberlain's best way to deal with it was to make a diagonal run to the side.

Once Chamberlain makes a diagonal run to the side, Southampton's counterattack will be activated.

Gerrard immediately winked at Kuyt.

Kuyt immediately understood what he meant, accelerated forward, and intercepted Chamberlain on his "diagonal" path.

And Gerard continued to stick his body tightly to Gu Ran.

Kuyt had just run three steps away when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Chamberlain was like a fool, he kept going straight to the middle after crossing the center line, with no intention of going to the side at all...

Gerrard was also very nervous: What kind of tactics is Southampton playing? If Chamberlain doesn't make a diagonal run, there will be no chance for him to make a diagonal run...

Before Gerard could analyze it clearly, Gu Ran instantly focused his mind and allocated 2 of the remaining 3 talent points to "Continuous Charge: Violent Sprint"!

Violent Charge +3! When the basic attributes are not enough, improving the level of a specific skill is the most effective way to achieve immediate results!

Especially when facing a defense like Gerrard that doesn't have a strong strangling ability, a violent sprint is the most direct and effective way! Gu Ran first pretended that his physical strength was not up to par and he was unable to do it - his steps were floating and his muscle strength was also retracted.

Gerrard really thought that Gu Ran was exhausted, so he relaxed his vigilance and paid some attention to Chamberlain who had not yet made a sideways run.

And then, Gu Ran suddenly exerted force, violently pushed Gerrard, who had relaxed a little, away with his shoulder, and accelerated forward!

Gerrard was immediately pushed away! All the Liverpool fans at the scene screamed!

It was the first time they had seen Gerrard being pushed away by a pure rookie! Gerrard secretly exclaimed in his heart and immediately chased after him!

Kuit, who had just run away, also realized Gu Ran's intention to get away, and quickly turned back to intercept him.

Gerrard was one meter behind Gu Ran, and Kuyt was two meters diagonally in front of Gu Ran. Judging from the local situation, Gu Ran was still surrounded by the two of them.

However, when Kuyt turned around, Gu Ran suddenly stopped and changed direction! The next moment, Gu Ran's body bounced back like a fully drawn longbow, his center of gravity pulled back violently, his ankle tilted to the limit that his body could bear, and he cut inward in an S shape, perfectly avoiding Kuyt in front and Gerrard behind him!

Kuyt had just completed his turn and it was difficult for him to continue turning in such a short time! Gerrard secretly called out "Watfak" in his heart and followed up with all his strength -

Bang! Gerrard slipped!!! Gerrard fell to the ground! Gerrard: ...

Kuyt: …

Chamberlain: ...

All the Liverpool fans in the stadium were silent!

Southampton fans also opened their mouths in surprise! Gu Ran, Southampton's rising star, in his first professional match debut, used an incredible move to get rid of the tactical double-teaming of two top stars! Hodgson, who was standing in the home team's technical area, was stunned: Didn't they say that this was Gu Ran's first time? How could he be like an experienced veteran and have so many tricks?

Sterling, the happy boy sitting in the stands behind the home team's bench, was shouting excitedly!

The sharper Gu Ran is, the more glorious it is for him to be abused by Gu Ran!

The players on the Southampton bench excitedly ran to the sidelines and cheered! Harding was shocked and suspected that Gerrard and Kuyt were acting.

——With this S-shaped violent action that hurt his ankle, Gu Ran couldn't get rid of Gerrard's defense. What really made Kuyt and Gerrard feel helpless was Gu Ran's super high football IQ! Gu Ran first made Gerrard and Kuyt think that Chamberlain was going to make a diagonal run, and used a trick to break Gerrard and Kuyt's suppression of him! Then he pushed Gerrard away in a super violent way, pretending to break through in a straight line, causing Kuyt to turn around and intercept in a hurry.

Finally, when Kuyt turned around, he suddenly stopped and made an S-shape to get rid of him! The whole process was smooth and there was no excessive confrontation. The process was also very short, but it was extremely shocking!

What does it mean to play football with your brain? This is playing football with your brain!

Gu Ran is not only playing football with his brain, he is also playing football with Chamberlain!

The moment Gu Ran completed the lateral escape, he turned sharply again and accelerated straight towards the middle!

That's right, he inserted it into Chamberlain's middle, leaving him with nowhere to insert himself! Chamberlain was so angry that he wanted to slide directly and send Gu Ran away.

But Chamberlain couldn't do that.

Because... he couldn't catch up with Gu Ran.

Light~ A blue skill bubble fell from Chamberlain's feet! Light~ A blue skill bubble also fell from Kuyt's feet! Light~ A green special talent point bubble fell from Gerrard's feet! Finally! Gerrard, you big bastard is also glowing green!

Gu Ran had no time to pay attention to the bubbles of Kuyt and Chamberlain at the moment. He just quickly turned around to glance at Gerrard and picked up Gerrard's green bubble through the air.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran continued to accelerate non-stop and head straight towards the middle!

Gerrard's face flushed red as he quickly got up and chased after Gu Ran with Kuyt! The Liverpool fans at the scene also felt their faces getting hot!

Southampton fans sang the song "Gu Ran Anfield Miracle" loudly! MaxxRT and others in the north stand were so excited that they kept shouting "Wow!"

"What the hell! What the hell!"

"Gu Ran is so awesome!"

"Gu Ran killed both Kuyt and Lampard!"

"This scene is so cool! It's so cool!"

"Come on, foreign girl, give me a kiss! I'll know I'm dreaming!"

"Chamberlain's performance was also very good! Without Chamberlain's tactical cooperation, Gu Ran would have had little chance!"

"That's right, I'm also quite optimistic about Chamberlain!"

"That Chamberlain had already cooperated with Gu Ran once before. This is their second tacit cooperation!"

"Although Chamberlain didn't make a diagonal run, this is precisely the beauty of their cooperation!"

"Chamberlain doesn't look very smart, but I didn't expect him to fully understand Gu Ran's tactical intentions and attracted the attention of Lampard and Kuyt on the spot!"

"I see Chamberlain and Gu Ran are about the same age, maybe they are very good friends in the club!"

"Chamberlain is obviously our Ran Ge's younger brother!"

Qiao Shan, who dunked over Jordan, quickly posted on his mobile phone: [Gu Ran and Chamberlain completed a tacit cooperation. Gu Ran used an incredible way to bypass the defense of Gerrard and Kuyt and is now heading straight to the middle! ] Suddenly, the domestic forums were filled with " Wow!" Everyone wanted to see the scene of Gu Ran bypassing Gerrard and Kuyt!
