After Gu Ran stole the ball, he did not pause at all and sped up directly from the spot! The violent aesthetic sprinting scene reappeared!

Seeing this wonderful scene, Southampton fans all had their adrenaline exploding. They jumped and cheered wildly.

The male fans cheered and jumped for joy! The female fans cheered and jumped for joy!

Especially the big ball ones.

After watching this game... my chest hurts! But the pain in my chest can't stop the enthusiasm of the female fans! It's so exciting to watch such a physical confrontation without any skills!

Almost at the same moment when Gu Ran sped up, other players of the Southampton team also followed suit and ran wildly. Southampton's defensive counterattack came again!

Southampton's home performance today was really strong, everyone seemed to be full of energy.

Gu Ran was undoubtedly the key figure in Southampton's defensive counterattack! Torquay United was still attacking the previous second, but now they could only turn around and defend in a hurry!

Chamberlain also wanted to support from the wing, but Jack Thompson reached back and grabbed Chamberlain's ribs.

Chamberlain's inner thoughts: What the hell! You and Gu Ran are in the same group, right? How much benefit did Gu Ran give you to make you defend me so desperately? Jack Thomson's inner thoughts: Damn it, if I can't stop Gu Ran, I can't stop you?

The two wrestled again!

Steve Tully, who was also on the left side, saw this and immediately fell to the ground and slid towards Gu Ran regardless of everything.

Gu Ran accelerated very quickly, not caring about profit at all.

Tuli cleared the ball! With Tuli's clearance, the left side defense of Torquay United was completely destroyed! The left side was flat! Gu Ran continued his violent and aesthetic sprint, dribbling the ball from the left ribs and heading straight into the penalty area of ​​Torquay United!

Gu Ran's speed was too fast! It was as if he was stepping on destructive lightning! It was full of violent aesthetics!

Not to mention the defensive players of Torquay United, even the midfielders and forwards of Southampton could not keep up with Gu Ran's sprinting speed!

At this moment, there were only three defensive players and a goalkeeper in the penalty area of ​​​​Toqua United! One of the defensive players came up and stretched out his hand to grab Gu Ran's jersey.

——They definitely can’t stop Gu Ran with conventional interception and defense, they can only use dirty tricks!

In this situation, Gu Ran could choose to turn around and protect the ball, and then pass the ball back to Lallana and Jarrod who were rushing over.

However, facing Torquay United's loose defense which is like that of a Chinese Super League team, Gu Ran is still very confident that he can challenge them one-on-one.

The first hat trick in his career is right in front of him!

Gu Ran first used his toes to push the ball inward, and then his body shook! At this moment, Gu Ran's body center of gravity tilted to the left limit! The ankle bore the weight of the whole body, almost to the limit of twisting!

——No one would doubt that Gu Ran was preparing to break through to the left.

The defensive player who rushed up first missed the ball, and then subconsciously followed Gu Ran to move to the left to block.

But in the next second, Gu Ran used his powerful waist and abdomen strength to pull back his center of gravity! He instantly broke through to the right!

Matthews shoulder drop! Super extreme and wonderful Matthews shoulder drop! The whole audience exclaimed! This Matthews shoulder drop is so explosive!

The power of male hormones is overflowing!

Several female fans in the stands fainted!

The photographer Kakaka on the sidelines pressed the shutter button desperately! The player defending Gu Ran slipped to the ground in a mess, his face full of unbelievable horror, becoming the most conspicuous background board!

At this moment, the entire St. Mary's Stadium was boiling! Every Southampton fan stood up and roared at the top of their lungs!

They were all looking forward to Southampton's fifth goal in the first half, which was also Gu Ran's first hat trick in his home debut! Torquay United's defense in the penalty area was like black stockings, torn apart by Gu Ran's two consecutive super smooth dribbling moves! A narrow, fleeting shooting channel was right in front of Gu Ran! Torquay United's two central defenders Mark Ellis and Ed Palmer quickly closed the door to defend Gu Ran -

Gu Ran did not hesitate, and seized this fleeting opportunity. He stepped forward with his left supporting leg, and swung his right leg to shoot violently.

In a panic, the newly substituted young central defender Eddie Palmer desperately slid towards Gu Ran's left supporting leg ankle with a fierce sliding tackle.

Gu Ran sensed the danger, but at this moment, it was too late to dodge! If he continued to shoot, he would get hurt, but if he didn't shoot, he would still get hurt! Fight!

Gu Ran continued to shoot with his right foot, and at the same time, he quickly focused his mind and allocated 1 talent point to his physique.

The next moment, the football shot straight to the top of the goal like an electromagnetically powered cloud-piercing cannonball with overwhelming force! 15 meters away from the goal, such power and speed, as well as the sudden attack like a knife, made it impossible for goalkeeper Sam Pierce to react in time!

Sam Pierce...hit the target again! The ball went into the net!

The huge impact force shook the entire net! Even the goalpost was buzzing!

At the same time as the goal was scored, Eddie Palmer's studs hit Gu Ran's left ankle hard! Gu Ran's ankle was twisted immediately and could not support himself!

Gu Ran fell down in the penalty area in pain, and bright red blood immediately seeped out of his white socks!

Holy shit…

It hurts!

It really hurts! Even though my physique has been raised to 78 points in advance, and even though I have Iron Man: Tin Man +6, it is impossible not to feel pain when facing such a fierce sliding tackle.

Gu Ran covered his left ankle with a look of pain on his face, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

The first thought that Gu Ran had after falling to the ground was: It’s over… Barbie has scratched me, and I can’t enjoy myself anymore.

This time, even with the high physical attributes and the protection of the Tin Man skills, he would probably have to leave the scene to receive treatment.

Gu Ran suddenly felt annoyed.

“Wow!!!!” Seeing Gu Ran being tackled to the ground, the entire St. Mary’s Stadium instantly went into an uproar.

Southampton fans had no intention of celebrating the fifth goal in the first half and Gu Ran's hat trick. Everyone covered their hearts and mouths in fear and worry! All the happiness before could not withstand the heartache at this moment!

If they had a choice, Southampton fans would rather Gu Ran not score this goal, or even if the current score was only 1:0, than want Gu Ran to be in trouble! The Southampton players on the field rushed to Gu Ran frantically.

Lallana, Lambert and others hugged Gu Ran eagerly and asked about his injuries.

The hot-tempered vice-captain Walton rushed directly towards Eddie Palmer, who was frightened and pale, and grabbed his neck.

Even Chamberlain rushed up angrily, demanding an explanation for Gu Ran.

The situation on the field is completely out of control!

The players from both teams gathered together, shoving and cursing at each other, and a big fight was about to break out! The Southampton fans were also cursing angrily, booing, and throwing mineral water bottles at the Torquay United players.

Some radical fans even took off their shoes and threw them into the stadium!

The referee blew the whistle desperately to calm the situation and waved to the emergency team and the team doctor.

Team doctor Mai Fu quickly grabbed the first aid kit, ran to Gu Ran, knelt on the ground, and checked Gu Ran's ankle injury.

Coach Adkins angrily yelled at the referee and the players of Torquay United! It was precisely because of the referee's lax enforcement that such an unprofessional foul scene occurred!

Elizabeth in the wives' area had a worried look on her face. She clenched her hands tightly together and prayed silently for Gu Ran.

Evelin in the media area was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wishing that she would be the one to get hurt.

MaxxRT and others also had solemn and worried expressions on their faces - as compatriots, they cared about Gu Ran more and felt more sorry for him than any other Southampton fans.

The four major scouts in the scouting area also had frowns on their brows - although Gu Ran was not a player of their club, they had already determined that Gu Ran would definitely belong to their club in the future. To hurt Gu Ran would be to hurt the future of their club!

Now, they had to seriously consider a question: If Gu Ran was really seriously injured, should they continue to poach him?

The Southampton executives in the main stand were also extremely anxious and nervous.

Gu Ran is the hope for the revival of Southampton! They just saw hope, and then something so serious happened! If...if Gu Ran's injury is too serious, it is very likely that the entire season will be scrapped.

It would be fine if just the season was ruined, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the injury is too serious. Even if Gu Ran recovers, he may not be as sharp as he is now.

Too many young talented players have their bright futures ruined by injuries! Injuries are truly the biggest enemy of every professional athlete!

When they thought of this, old Rice and other senior executives were so heartbroken that they couldn't breathe, and could only pray for God's blessing in their hearts.

"Gu--how do you feel? Are you still conscious here?"

Mai Fu knelt beside Gu Ran, gently taking off his boots while asking anxiously.

Gu Ran took a breath in pain, "It hurts... but it's not a big problem."

Mai Fu cut open Gu Ran's blood-stained socks with a pair of scissors and then exclaimed.

A scar caused by a shoe spike covered the ankle in a shocking manner.

Mai Fu said sadly: "Gu, you are seriously injured. Based on my many years of experience as a team doctor, I am afraid... your ankle and ligaments have been injured."

Injury to the ankle and ligaments means that this season will be over.

This will be a huge blow to any player.

During the recovery period, the club's salary can still be received, but for players who really have the ambition to become a star, this free salary is not enough to offset their future.

Gu Ran grinned, "Mai Fu, don't scare me, I know I'm fine, it's just a minor skin injury, I just need a few stitches and two days of rest."

Mai Fu said sadly, "Gu, you don't understand medicine after all... With such a severe impact, even if the ankle bone is fine, the ligaments are unlikely to be fine. Judging from your injuries, the superficial triangular collateral ligament on the inside of your ankle may have been ruptured, and it's hard to say about the deep triangular collateral ligament... Forget it, I'll stop the bleeding and bandage the wound temporarily, then we'll carry you out on a stretcher and take you to the best hospital in Southampton for treatment! Don't worry, Southampton Football Club will never give up on you."

Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But I'm really fine..."

Without further ado, Mai Fu cleaned Gu Ran's wound quickly and then bandaged it temporarily.

Four emergency doctors then moved Gu Ran onto a stretcher and carefully carried him out of the venue.

Lalana held Gu Ran's hand emotionally, "Gu, go with peace of mind."

Gu Ran: ...

It makes me feel like I can never come back!

I just have a superficial wound, I don't need to be cut off to heal it permanently! "Lalana..."

"Don't talk anymore, Gu. Just focus on recovering from your injury. I know what you are going to say. In the second half, we will definitely help you fight back!"

"That's not what I meant..."

Before Gu Ran could finish his words, he was carried off the scene by the emergency doctor.

The die-hard fans in the north stand sang the team song "Saints March On" to cheer Gu Ran on.

The beautiful cheerleaders of the global fan club were all crying and shouting Gu Ran's name at the top of their lungs, wishing they could go with Gu Ran.

Gu Ran was deeply moved and struggled to sit up from the stretcher to play another half for these lovely fans.

Mai Fu quickly held Gu Ran's shoulders and said, "Gu, don't move. I know it hurts, but you just have to bear it now."

Gu Ran covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

At this point, the tense confrontation on the field was almost coming to an end.

The referee repeatedly pulled out cards to suppress the situation.

First, Eddie Palmer, who had injured Gu Ran, was sent off with a straight red card.

Then Walton and Chamberlain each received a yellow card.

Torquay United captain Steve Tully, left-back Adam Smith and goalkeeper Sam Pearce also received a yellow card each.

——The first half of the game had not yet ended, but the referee had already issued 9 yellow cards and 1 red card.

Southampton fans are not satisfied with the punishment at all!

If they had their way, they would have sent Eddie Palmer to the guillotine to relieve their hatred.

Eddie Palmer left the field crying, and what greeted him were crazy boos, saliva, various mineral water bottles and toilet paper from the fans on both sides of the player tunnel.

Gu Ran was carried directly out of the emergency medical passage and, accompanied by the team doctor Mike, took an ambulance directly to the best hospital in Southampton.

Along the way, Mai Fu kept making and receiving phone calls to report on Gu Ran's condition.

A tense and uneasy mood spread in the ambulance.

While Mai Fu was finishing a phone call, Gu Ran quickly said, "Mai Fu, actually, I'm fine..."

“Gu, you are so strong… Even in this state, you still comfort me! Wuuuuu…”

"Maifu, why are you crying? I'm really fine!"

"Wow, Gu, you are really strong..."

Waterfake...

Gu Ran gave up explaining and just lay down in the ambulance.

Anyway, no matter how much I explain, I won't be able to play in the second half of the game.

Alas, it was my first home game and I thought I could easily play the whole game, but I didn’t expect such an accident to happen.

He was not injured when he escaped from the warehouse, and he was not injured when he was riding in the helicopter. After all his precautions, he was finally injured by a tackle during the game.

Things in this world are unpredictable.

There is no system that is greater than heaven.

This matter is also my own fault for being greedy.

If he had been a little more despicable and kept his composure and tried to dribble past the opponent one more time, preferably even dribbling past the goalkeeper, then his shot would have been safe.

No wonder Ronaldo particularly likes to dribble past the goalkeeper before shooting... It may not be for showing off, but a means of self-protection.

This injury can be regarded as a wake-up call for my future career.

The better you perform on the court and the more important you are, the easier it is to be targeted and get injured.

Those star-level players are always the ones who are targeted and fouled the most.

Therefore, the string of self-protection must always be kept taut.

Fortunately, I improved my physical attributes and Tin Man skills today, otherwise this ankle injury would be really troublesome.

While Gu Ran was thinking in his mind, he secretly moved his injured ankle.

pain……

But it can still move.

So it's not a big problem. You just need to rest for a week at most and you'll be completely fine.

If the physical attributes are improved a little bit, the injury should recover faster, and the effect of relieving pain will be very obvious.

There are 3 talent points left...

Gu Ran immediately made up his mind and allocated all the remaining three talent points to physical attributes.

The physical attribute immediately increased to 81 points, becoming the second largest sub-attribute after the physical attribute! Gu Ran also felt refreshed instantly, and the pain in his left ankle was quickly subsiding.

As for the side effects? It doesn't matter, as long as you are serious enough in your heart.

——The Abi incident has already proved that he can stand the test.

The ambulance "Dimen Dimen" ran through the red light and continued to drive quickly towards the hospital.

After Gu Ran left the stadium in an ambulance, both Southampton and Torquay United made large-scale substitutions.

With a huge score difference of 5:0 at home, Southampton was playing 11 against 10 and the game officially entered garbage time.

Not long after the kick-off, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Southampton’s senior executives began to leave the field. They no longer cared about the result of the first home game. They only cared about Gu Ran’s injury.

Evelin also hurriedly left with the top executives. As a reporter for the Advance Saints, she also had the right to know Gu Ran’s injury first.

Most of the news media reporters also left the stands. The most explosive news today all came from Gu Ran. So they would naturally follow Gu Ran wherever he went.

The four major scouts in the scouting area also had serious expressions on their faces and stood up and left together.

He was as concerned about Gu Ran's injury as the Southampton executives.

If Gu Ran is really seriously injured... they will have to adjust their strategy of poaching.

Head coach Adkins also wanted to go to the hospital to check on Gu Ran's injury, but he still had to lead the team through the second half of the garbage game.

More than half an hour later, the ambulance stopped at the entrance of Southampton University Hospital.

University Hospital Southampton is not only the best hospital in Southampton, but also the best comprehensive hospital in the entire southern region.

The orthopedics department of University Hospital Southampton is particularly famous, and the head of the department is Dr. Bob Smith, who enjoys a high reputation worldwide.

As soon as Mave entered the hospital, he shouted, "Quick! Call your doctor Bob! We are from the Southampton Football Club, and we are members of your family!"

Without saying a word, several male nurses quickly and professionally moved Gu Ran to a movable bed and pushed him directly into the emergency room.

In less than two minutes, five or six expert doctors in white coats walked into the emergency room with serious expressions.

The leader had completely white hair and a sharp gaze, and at first glance he looked like a famous doctor.

"Hello, Mr. Gu Ran. I'm Dr. Bob, the chief orthopedic physician at Southampton University Hospital. We were notified before you came. We are deeply sorry that you were injured in the game, but please rest assured that we will do our best to treat you. At the same time, if the injury is serious, we hope you can stay calm. Please believe us, we will make you recover as soon as possible."

Gu Ran quickly said: "Thank you, doctor. Actually, I..."

Before Gu Ran could finish, Mai Fu said anxiously, "Hello, Dr. Bob. I am Gu Ran's team doctor. Gu Ran's current condition is not optimistic. His left ankle was severely tackled by a professional player half an hour ago. It was visibly twisted and deformed. When I bandaged it for the first time, I determined that Gu Ran's tibial joint, tibiotalar joint and subtalar joint were likely to have suffered comminuted fractures, and the anterior talofibular ligament and other ligaments may have been ruptured. I think Gu Ran needs a comprehensive diagnosis as soon as possible, and then come up with a safe surgical plan that can protect Gu Ran's career prospects, and gather experts for surgery as soon as possible."

Gu Ran: ...

Dr. Bob didn't look directly at Mai Fu, but nodded slightly, then looked at Gu Ran and asked, "Mr. Gu Ran, how do you feel now?"

Gu Ran quickly said: "Doctor, actually I'm really fine."

Doctor Bob smiled and said, "Mr. Gu Ran, you are so optimistic, which is great. Most players are very depressed after being injured, but you are the most optimistic one I have ever seen. I have always emphasized to the doctors in our hospital that they must guide the patients' emotions in a positive way and not say too many words that will cause negative emotions in the patients. This is also a very important thing in the treatment process."

These words were obviously spoken to the overly excited Maf.

The other doctors also smiled disdainfully.

Maf's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

Doctor Bob said calmly, "Okay, now let me personally check your injuries."

As soon as Dr. Bob raised his hand, the other doctors around him came forward to cut the makeshift bandage on Gu Ran's ankle.

Dr. Bob raised his hand again and asked another doctor to clean Gu Ran's wound.

"Mr. Gu Ran, this may be a little painful, please be patient for a moment."

"It's okay. Come on."

With 81 points of physical strength as a backup, and Iron Body: Tin Man +6, Gu Ran didn't feel much pain, but the disinfectant was a little cold and killing, so Gu Ran frowned slightly.

Dr. Bob exclaimed: "Mr. Gu Ran is the strongest patient I have ever seen - now, let's take a look at the ankle problem."

As soon as Dr. Bob nodded, a doctor next to him helped him put on a medical mask.

He is truly a world-class doctor, and it is hard to imitate him when he pretends to be so pretentious.

Doctor Bob, wearing a mask, then leaned over to check——

The next second, Dr. Bob was stunned.
