The DJ at the scene screamed excitedly: "3:0! 3:0! The goal was scored by Southampton's No. 8! Our super star! Gu——————Ran!"

"This is Gu Ran's second goal in this game, and it is also the most exciting goal among the three goals in this game! A sideways hook shot!"

"By the way, the second most exciting goal of the game also came from Gu Ran, a super long shot at the start!"

"The moment Gu Ran jumped off the helicopter, he was destined to make the greatest home debut of the century at St. Mary's Stadium!"

"The Southampton team has been completely upgraded to a strong team in the new season after Gu Ran joined!"

"With Gu Ran, winning the English League One championship is no longer a dream!"

“The Saints are marching forward!”

"Let's cheer for Gu Ran three times! Gu Ran——"

"Chinese dad!"

"Gu Ran——"

"Chinese dad!"

"Gu Ran——"

"Chinese Dad!!!!"

Southampton fans, regardless of gender, age or status, senior management, die-hard fans or ordinary fans, all roared excitedly.

Passion is contagious!

Even Coach Carter was shouting "Dad" passionately. Elizabeth was also shouting "Dad" while jumping with the ball, and Evelyn was shouting with even greater devotion.

Evelyn's biological father, Sir Adelaide, shouted even more vigorously than Evelyn...

This made MaxxRT and other Chinese fans feel a little embarrassed - they just came to watch a game, but they were given the title of uncle.

Southampton fans haven't been this crazy for many, many years.

Even when Alan Shearer, Peter Crouch and Gareth Bale were in Southampton, Southampton fans were never so crazy.

It's not that Gu Ran has surpassed Alan Shearer and other stars, but because Southampton was a Premier League powerhouse back then, but now it has become a mid-table team in the English League One, and Gu Ran is the glimmer of hope they see in adversity! Is there anything more exciting than grasping hope in adversity?

Gu Ran's performance filled all Southampton fans with anticipation! Gu Ran's sideways hook not only ignited the passion of a stadium, but also ignited the passion of a southern football city that had been silent for a long time! At this moment, Gu Ran on the green field did not think too much, but quickly gathered his thoughts and picked up three skill bubbles.

Goal sense +2! Strengthened defensive positioning +2! Outside foot pass +3! There are 3 more pick-up progress today... Just keep on beating me!

After completing this wave of picking up, Gu Ran quickly ran back to his position.

The other Southampton players also followed Gu Ran back to their positions with high morale! The entire Southampton team was full of fighting spirit! Such a massacre was really exciting!

The game continues——

Torquay United, which has already conceded three goals, still has to fight back against the crazy Southampton team.

Torquay United frequently played high balls and long passes from both flanks, trying to get behind Southampton.

This offensive idea is actually correct. After all, Southampton adopts high-pressure tactics, with all three lines pressed very forward, leaving a lot of space behind them.

But the problem is that Southampton's strength is far greater than Torquay United, and Southampton's overall formation is maintained very well.

Torquay United did have a few good long passes, but they all fell into Southampton's offside trap.

As the first half wore on, Torquay United became more and more impatient and their defensive moves became more aggressive.

Rough defense, leaky positioning and loose pressing mentality caused Torquay United's defense to frequently sound the alarm under Southampton's high-pressure tactics.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Lambert and Schneiderlin worked together on the right side to intercept O'Kane's pass.

Lambert turned around without hesitation and passed the ball back to Gu Ran who quickly responded, allowing Gu Ran to make a breakthrough.

As soon as Gu Ran got the ball, all the Southampton fans in the stadium instantly became passionate and cheered wildly.

The head coach of Torquay United angrily yelled in the technical area: "You idiots! Keep an eye on number 8! Keep an eye on number 8! Don't let him break through!"

The three players from Toqua United immediately double-teamed Gu Ran.

Gu Ran's route to the bottom was blocked, so he dribbled the ball directly to the middle.

As a left-back, Gu Ran has a very large range of movement, almost covering the entire left and center areas.

The defensive players of Torquay United had never encountered an opponent that played in such an unconventional way, and could only be led around by Gu Ran.

Gu Ran didn't wait for the Torquay United defenders to get in position, and directly made a long and powerful pass near the center circle! The magic lamp pointed the way!

This low ball was like a sharp razor, shaving the grass, leaving a shallow cut in an instant! Southampton fans feasted their eyes! The football quickly and accurately penetrated the already loose three lines of Torquay United and passed it directly to Jarod who had already rushed into the small penalty area! Under the close defense of veteran Dennis Lawrence, Jarod stopped the ball and then turned halfway to shoot the ball into the far corner of the goal!

Dennis Lawrence desperately fell to the ground to tackle——

The ball was poked out of the goal line when it was close to the goal line! "Oh!!!" Southampton fans sighed with their heads in their hands! If this ball had gone in, it would have been so cool.

The through pass that Gu Ran sent was so gorgeous, but unfortunately... Garrod was still a little short of it.

Jarod knelt on the ground and beat the grass in frustration! He had missed Gu Ran's perfect pass twice today.

Southampton fans immediately gave Jarrod and Gu Ran applause and encouragement.

Although the ball didn't go in, this kind of kicking and cooperation is really pleasing to the eye!

With Gu Ran here, no one will doubt that Southampton will revive and rise!

This shot also made the Torquay United team break out in a cold sweat! They were almost going to be beaten 4 times in the first half.

Dennis Lawrence, the veteran who defended the ball, was lying on the grass in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.

He tried his best in the tackle and seemed to have strained a thigh muscle.

It was clearly just a pre-season friendly match, but when the game got to this point, both sides became a little jealous.

Southampton was in a killing spree, and Torquay United was in a state of being defeated.

Dennis Lawrence can be regarded as the mainstay of Torquay United. Now that Dennis is injured, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Torquay United, which already has poor defense.

The referee ran over to check Dennis' injury, then summoned the emergency team on the sidelines to bring a stretcher onto the field.

The head coach of Torquay United frowned and signaled for a substitution.

The 18-year-old Ed Palmer was warming up urgently on the sidelines.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Ran and other players also came to the sidelines to replenish water.

Elizabeth, who was standing in the wives' area behind the home team's bench, excitedly waved at Gu Ran as he jumped.

While drinking water, Gu Ran was concentrating on observing the situation on the field and was completely unaware of Elizabeth's gesture of goodwill.

Elizabeth's chest ached from beating so hard...

Up to now in the first half, Gu Ran has no problem with his physical fitness and he still has 5 talent points in his hand.

Gu Ran thought about it briefly and allocated one of his talent points to the speed attribute.

The basic speed attribute then increased from 72 points to 73 points.

Increasing basic speed can not only increase running speed, but also slightly increase the connection speed between skills.

After the distribution, Gu Ran quickly threw away the high-sweetness electrolyte water specially prepared by nutritionist Loina and quickly ran back to the front court.

The emergency team quickly carried Dennis off the field, and Ed Palmer of Torquay United also came on the field after the fourth official raised the card.

The game resumes, Southampton takes a corner kick.

Lallana took a corner kick from the left, and Gu Ran jumped high in front of the goal to head the ball.

Mark Ellis pushed Gu Ran in the chaos, and Gu Ran almost lost his balance.

Even if you have a header level of +3, you will be powerless if the opponent deliberately targets you or commits a foul.

Gu Ran also pulled Mark Ellis in revenge.

Neither of them touched the football.

The football was headed to the first point by Eddie Palmer who had just come on the field. However, Eddie Palmer was obviously very nervous. He had only been on the field for less than half a minute and had not yet figured out where his own goal was. His header clearance looked more like an immature shot.

Fortunately, Torquay United goalkeeper Sam Pearce reacted quickly enough and jumped up to catch the ball.

The entire Torquay United defense broke out in a cold sweat.

Sam Pierce held the football and swore banned words at Eddie Palmer who had just come on the field.

Eddie Palmer was scolded so much that he dared not raise his head, let alone talk back.

The game continues.

The two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat on the wing.

There was not much time left in the first half, and the players of Torquay United became more brutal.

Gu Ran was given special care by Tokui Lian.

As soon as Gu Ran started moving, even if he hadn't touched the ball and was just running around, at least two defensive players from Toquay United would come up to him and harass him with dirty tricks.

——The more important a player is, the more likely he is to be fouled by the opposing players on the court.

This is also the only way to become a real star.

Gu Ran was naturally well aware of this, and his interlaced movements were more or less disturbed by the opponent's small movements.

The Southampton fans at the scene booed at Torquay United's defensive players.

Coach Adkins stood in the technical area and loudly pressured the referee, but the referee still did not interfere too much with Torquay United's dirty play.

Qiao Shan, who dunked over Jordan, couldn't help but shake his head and wrote on his phone: [The standard of British referees is really not good, and it's not much better than the level of domestic referees.] Coach Adkins turned back to the bench in anger, "Chamberlain, warm up!"

Chamberlain, who was originally a little depressed, jumped up excitedly when he heard it, "Coach, you finally remembered me! Hahaha! How can this massacre be without me, Alex Chamberlain!"

As he spoke, Chamberlain excitedly took off his shorts.

Coach Adkins put his arm around Chamberlain's shoulders and said, "Your task after you come on the court is to provide more support and coordination for Gu Ran. Use your sprinting to help Gu Ran share the firepower. I was deeply impressed by your cooperation in the last game. You should do the same in this game."

Chamberlain: ...

"Coach, I can actually go in the middle."

"No need, just cooperate with Gu Ran."

At this time, Southampton formed an offensive on the right side.

Schneiderlin used his personal ability to deftly pass the first defensive player who rushed over, and then passed the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area.

Garrod rushed to the front with great enthusiasm, using his physical advantage to defeat Jack Richardson who was defending him.

The other defensive players of Torquay United blocked and double-teamed Garrod.

Garrod turned around to protect the ball and knocked it back to Lallana who was already running parallel to the left wing of the penalty area.

——Torquay United’s defense is really full of loopholes.

After Lallana got the ball, he easily cut into the penalty area.

Gu Ran also accelerated from the left, ready to support Lallana.

Gu Ran didn't care, and rushed forward with full force! Seeing that he couldn't stop Gu Ran, Jack Thomson grabbed Gu Ran's neck! Gu Ran felt a little suffocated, and then he elbowed him hard!

Jack Thompson immediately fell to the ground wailing in pain. Gu Ran took the opportunity to break free and quickly moved forward.

Beep, beep, beep! The referee blew the whistle immediately.

At the same time, Lallana's shot was blocked by Torquay United goalkeeper Sam Pearce.

The next moment, Torquay United captain Steve Tully positioned himself and grabbed the first spot.

——If Gu Ran had not been blocked by a tactical foul, he would have had a chance to compete with Tuli for the first point. Moreover, with Gu Ran's violent sprint and physical confrontation ability, he would have a high probability of stealing the ball and making a supplementary shot.

What a pity...

Southampton fans sighed.

In this game, Torquay United played very dirty.

But this is not entirely Torquay United's fault. After all, such dirty tricks are quite common in England's lower leagues.

The referee stopped the game and Jack Thompson rolled on the ground, holding his chest.

The referee signaled the emergency team to come on the field to examine and treat Jack Thomson.

Southampton fans booed Jack Thomson angrily.

Everyone's eyes were sharp and it was obvious that it was Jack Thompson who first strangled Gu Ran from behind.

After the doctor from the emergency team examined Jack Thompson, he gave him some water and then quickly left.

Jack Thompson stood up with a painful look on his face amidst the long and violent hissing.

Judging from his expression, it doesn't look like he's pretending.

The referee did not let him off and decisively gave him a yellow card to punish him for pulling someone from behind.

Southampton fans applauded and cheered happily.

But then, the referee called Gu Ran to his front again and showed him a yellow card.

Gu Ran acted very realistically, and spread his hands towards the referee with an innocent look on his face to show his incomprehension.

Southampton fans immediately booed the referee angrily.

The referee still insisted on his decision.

Gu Ran could only smile and shake his head to accept it.

Lambert and others ran up, hugged Gu Ran and patted his head to comfort him.

This was also Gu Ran’s first yellow card in an official match.

Of course, yellow cards in friendly matches will not affect subsequent games at all, let alone English League One, cup matches and other competitions.

Gu Ran turned around and smiled at Jack Thompson, who was still covering his chest.

Jack Thompson couldn't help shivering.

In the scout area, Manchester United's Lawler commented with a smile: "Gu Ran is still very individual, a bit like Ibrahimovic, who will take revenge on the spot if he has a grudge."

Chelsea's Emenalo also laughed and said, "Gu Ran has a high football IQ. He is definitely not an impulsive type. What he did was also an indirect warning to those players who wanted to use dirty tricks on him to be careful."

Edwards of Liverpool praised: "He is indeed my fellow countryman!"

Manchester City's Pratt smiled and said, "A real star player, who doesn't have a temper? I think Gu Ran is gradually adapting to his role as a star player."

At this time, the fourth official raised the card, indicating that Southampton was making a substitution.

The ineffective left midfielder Holmes was replaced by the ambitious Chamberlain.

As soon as Chamberlain came on the court, he ran up to Gu Ran and said, "Gu, Coach Adkins asked you to cooperate with me more and pass the ball to me more often."

Gu Ran ran directly past Chamberlain.

Chamberlain: ...

The game continues.

The referee awarded Torquay United a free kick in the backcourt.

Torquay United then launched a quick attack.

Torquay United's left midfielder O'Kane received a long diagonal pass from the backcourt and dribbled at high speed along Southampton's right side.

Southampton's Butterfield went forward to intercept, but was pushed away by O'Nan with his body, and a huge gap suddenly appeared on the right side of Southampton.

Ou Nan drove straight into the penalty area with the ball and after entering the 30-meter area, he made a horizontal pass into the penalty area.

Torquay United's No. 10 striker Scott Lundell held off Walton, stopped the ball, turned around and kicked -

Goalkeeper Davis leaps forward -

The football brushed past Davis' fingertips, hit the goal post, and bounced out of the end line! "Wow!!!"

Southampton fans all breathed a sigh of relief.

This goal was so thrilling, luckily the home goalpost helped!

It has to be said that although Torquay United is a weak team, they do have a good set of fast breaks.

As the game continued, the pace of both sides was very fast and the tension intensified.

43rd minute of the first half.

Torquay United's No. 11 Nicky Flo was intercepted by Lambert and Walton when he broke through the frontcourt. Walton tackled Nicky to the ground without any hesitation. Lambert took the opportunity to steal the ball, and then made a quick pass to Gu Ran who had already run into an open space on the left side.

Gu Ran then accelerated and sprinted with the ball.

The right midfielder Jack Thompson, who had been elbowed by Gu Ran before, was obviously a little timid and did not dare to directly confront Gu Ran.

Two other Toqua United defensive players quickly double-teamed Gu Ran.

Chamberlain accelerated along the wing and reached out to Gu Ran for the ball.

The captain of Torquay United, Tuli, immediately ran up to block Chamberlain! Gu Ran did not play any tricks, but continued to dribble the ball across the middle, using pure speed to tear open Torquay United's defense.

Chamberlain was ignored and had a very unhappy face! Torquay United captain Tully was even more unhappy!

Torquay United's overall defense was a little slow, and a huge loophole appeared in the penalty area.

Gu Ran suddenly kicked the ball diagonally from the middle to the left side of the penalty area!

Garrod, who was not marked, suddenly inserted from the back row and shot with his right foot from 12 meters in front of the goal into the far corner.

Torquay United goalkeeper Sam Pearce hurriedly moved to block the ball, but it was too late! The ball went into the net!

The goal is valid!

With Gu Ran's continuous and unremitting efforts, Jarod finally got it!

The score on the big screen immediately changed to Southampton 4:0 Torquay United! This was truly a massacre!

Before the first half was over, Southampton had already scored 4 goals!

Southampton fans happily jumped and celebrated in the stands!

Even a player like Jarod who was not in very good shape could be fed a goal by Gu Ran!

Who else can stop Gu Ran's fiery state? !

Who else!!! After scoring the goal, Jarod slid down excitedly and threw himself directly at Gu Ran's thigh! "Gu! Benefactor!"

Jarod hugged Gu Ran's thighs and trembled with excitement, "Let's do it again! Let's do it again, okay?"

Lallana and others also rushed up to hug Gu Ran, not letting Jarod have him alone.

"Beautiful! That's how we play!" Coach Adkins celebrated excitedly by pumping his fists on the bench.

The first home game of this season is really morale-boosting!

The Toqua United team on the field looked depressed and their morale was at its lowest.

Gu Ran took the opportunity to concentrate his mind and picked up two skills: short pass coordination +1.

+1 for a powerful out-of-bounds ball.

These two skills can be considered as the basic and essential skills of a game.

After this wave of pickups, there will only be one last chance to pick up items today.

The last pick-up will naturally be left to my sister Elizabeth.

After the celebration, Gu Ran was the first to run back to the left back position.

The fourth official raised a sign, indicating that three minutes of extra time would be added to the first half.

The game continues.

The tension on the field became even more uncontrollable.

Although they conceded 4 goals before the end of the first half, Torquay United still chose to go head-to-head with Southampton.

46th minute of the first half!

Torquay United formed an offensive on Southampton's left side.

Right midfielder Jack Thomson received the pass from Jack Richardson and dribbled forward at high speed.

The other players of Torquay United also followed suit in the attack, with no intention of defending to the death.

Torquay United captain Tully was also on the flank supporting Jack Thomson not far away.

Southampton immediately launched a high-pressure defense against the opponent on the left side.

Chamberlain and Gu Ran jointly strangled Jack Thompson - it was called a joint strangulation, but Chamberlain was smart and deliberately did not stick to Jack Thompson.

Chamberlain wanted to wait until Gu Ran and Jack Thompson were entangled, and then he would take the opportunity to rush forward and steal the ball.

This is a genius idea.

only……

Jack Thompson chose to go the long way and confront Chamberlain head-on.

Chamberlain: ... Are you seriously ill? Chamberlain gritted his teeth and wrestled with Jack Thompson.

Just as Chamberlain was about to use his physical strength to hold off Jack Thompson and forcibly steal the ball, Jack Thompson stubbornly half-turned to protect the ball, exposing the space to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran easily stole the ball from Jack Thompson without any effort.

Chamberlain: ...

You all bully me??? (End of this chapter)
