This, this, this...
Is this an illusion? No!
The sense of power that the grass reflects back is absolutely impossible to act out!
But Gu Ran was clearly waiting on the sidelines with his limping leg just a second ago, how could he be so violent as soon as he entered the court? He had clearly been seriously injured before!
Isn’t this too hard?
Isn't this spirit of sacrificing one's life for the team the most worthy of praise? The Southampton fans were shocked, their blood rushed to their heads, and their adrenaline exploded! Almost all the Southampton fans stood up, everyone was moved to tears, and screamed at Gu Ran crazily! The entire St. Mary's Stadium instantly became like a passionate gladiator arena! And Gu Ran was the invincible god of war!
Gu Ran's "iron-blooded" spirit completely ignited the long-dormant passion of the Saints! This was even more shocking than the last time Gu Ran appeared on the scene by helicopter!
The only one who could overturn the entire stadium in just one second at St. Mary's Stadium was Gu Ran!
The entire stand was rumbling and shaking!
The sleeping St. Mary's Stadium woke up the moment Gu Ran appeared on the field! It was the first time for the Northampton fans to see such a terrifying cheering scene, and they all widened their eyes in fear.
Northampton's head coach Samples frowned and clasped his arms tightly across his chest.
He never expected that this guy Adkins would actually send "Cripple" Gu Ran into the game.
Don’t panic…
A lame man who had received countless injections of anti-inflammatory analgesics could at best only run a bit without anyone guarding him.
In less than 5 minutes, I guarantee he will be limping off the court again! A professional stadium, a battle between mortal enemies, nothing to say!
Coach Samples curled his lips into a cruel sneer!
At the same time, all the reporters in the media area stood up and applauded Gu Ran's appearance.
"Oh my God, Gu Ran is crazy!"
“Even a tough guy like me was moved!”
"This should probably be Gu Ran's last act of madness, right?"
"This kid is so stupid. He even gave up his future for a friendly match."
"Alas, grassroots are grassroots after all, they only have passion and enthusiasm."
"But why do I feel that... Gu Ran is even more powerful than before he was injured?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the media area fell silent.
It's not just one reporter who feels this way, many reporters feel the same way!
They have tracked Gu Ran's games more than once or twice, and they indeed feel that Gu Ran is more powerful than before.
“…This must be our illusion!”
"Gu Ran must have been injected with more than a dozen injections to seal the wound, right?"
"I see. This should be Gu Ran's last match, so Gu Ran must have fought hard."
“Oh, don’t…” Evelin bit her lower lip as she listened to the conversations of the other reporters, and she was extremely worried about Gu Ran.
On the west side of the stands, MaxxRT and others were excited and worried.
What was exciting was that Gu Ran’s stunning appearance made them, as compatriots, feel an incomparable sense of pride.
What they are worried about is that if Gu Ran is really risking his career to play this last game...then they would really rather have nothing.
Qiao Shan, who dunked over Jordan, started the text live broadcast with mixed emotions.
Just one line of text in the live broadcast, "In the 60th minute of the second half, Gu Ran came on as a substitute", caused the long-awaited fans in the domestic forums to become excited.
At this time, the team doctor who was responsible for treating Lallana left the field.
Northampton also quickly organized a human wall.
After Gu Ran came on the field, the first thing he did was run to Lallana who had already stood up to take the free kick.
Lallana excitedly high-fived Gu Ran, "Hi, Gu! You finally made your debut! I'm glad you high-fived me as soon as you came on the field. Doesn't this mean that we have the best relationship in the team? Of course, you don't have to worry about me. My foot is fine. We can connect!"
Gu Ran immediately said, "Oh no, Lallana, I'm not worried about you. I'm here to convey the coach's message - I'll take the free kick."
"Ah?" Lallana suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Gu Ran said, "I know you are the first free kick taker, but this is really the coach's tactical arrangement. Of course, I won't let you give me this free kick opportunity for nothing. Let's trade two for one. I'll give you two assists, and you'll take the free kick this time."
Lallana smiled generously and said, "Gu! Look at what you said! Since this is the tactical arrangement of the head coach, of course I have to obey it. By the way, the two assists you mentioned were in this game?"
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Yes."
"Well, if you didn't score this free kick, would you still give me two assists?"
"meeting."
"So if the ball is fed to me and I don't score, it won't be counted as an assist, right?"
"……Won't."
"Do you want to keep feeding me until I score two goals?"
Damn it, Lallana, where are you with your consulting business? Gu Ran suppressed his inner complaints and said in a deep voice, "...Yes."
Lallana excitedly shook Gu Ran's hand, "Deal! Gu, this free kick is for you, good luck!"
After saying that, Lallana happily ran away from the penalty spot.
Two for one, only a fool would not do that! Seeing the penalty kicker Lallana running away, the Northampton players were dumbfounded! What kind of operation is this? What is Southampton doing? Sending a lame man with a closed injection is fine, but now they actually let this lame man take the free kick? This kid can take a free kick? ? ?
Northampton players felt offended.
The Southampton fans were stunned and suffocated for three seconds. After confirming that it was really Gu Ran who would take the free kick, they immediately started cheering even more crazily!
The entire St. Mary's Stadium was about to explode! The screams were deafening!
Although Gu Ran has never taken a free kick in a professional match, every qualified Southampton fan knows that Gu Ran’s most powerful weapon in the National High School League is the 40-meter-long crescent-shaped scimitar!
Gu Ran calmly glanced at the goalkeeper's position through the wall of people, his sharp eyes full of killing intent.
The opposing goalkeeper, Charles Dunn, shuddered subconsciously.
In preparation for this derby, Charles Dunn began studying how to defend Lallana's free kicks and corner kicks a month in advance, and did a lot of targeted exercises.
Now... because of the appearance of "lame" Gu Ran, all his efforts over the past month have been meaningless.
But it doesn't matter.
What's there to worry about with a lame leg? Charles Dunn immediately calmed down, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to save the ball.
Gu Ran bent down slowly, rotated the football on the penalty spot half a circle, and pointed the air nozzle towards the goal.
Need an arc! As for strength, with his current strength, it is enough at a distance of 25 meters! After placing the ball, Gu Ran took three steps back to the side and back.
Set pieces: Crescent Moon Blade +4. This has not been improved since I joined the professional club.
However, a skill level of +4 is enough to play against a League Two team.
What's more, Gu Ran has never given up training his set-piece skills in the professional club, and his competitive form in set-piece skills is maintained very well.
Gu Ran's strength attributes, free kick attributes, and long-range shooting attributes have also improved a lot compared to the high school competition.
We have also added star skills such as Heavy Artillery Long-range Shot: Cloud Piercing Arrow, Heavy Artillery Long-range Shot: Stone Breaking, Heavy Artillery Long-range Shot: Cruise Missile, and Top-level Transmission and Shooting: Divine Kick, which can have a positive effect on the Crescent Moon Scimitar.
So, just do it!
Gu Ran glanced at the wall of people again, and pulled up his sports shorts, revealing the strong muscular outlines of his thighs.
Several female fans in the stands fainted due to their rapid heartbeats.
Gu Ran concentrated his strength on his legs, and burst into a sprint in the next second! His studs immediately kicked up several pieces of dirt on the grass! In the blink of an eye, Gu Ran's left foot stepped heavily on the side of the football, and his right foot swung out a semicircular arc. His left ankle twisted to an angle almost parallel to the ground, and his whole body was like a fully drawn strong bow!
A classic scene! The boy draws his bow to the fullest! Photographers on the sidelines press the shutter to record this wonderful moment!
At this moment, everyone at the scene held their breath! The restless roars were all stuck in their throats!
The next moment, Gu Ran's inner foot hit the bottom of the football at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to see! Bang! The football rose from the ground like a cruise missile, drawing a nearly full-moon parabola in the air, accurately passing the highest point of the Northampton wall, and then quickly turned the corner! Falling!
Everyone was stunned!!!
Gu Ran did not choose to kick the ball towards the weak area of the Northampton wall, but chose to directly attack the strong area of the Northampton wall!
The strong area of Northampton's human wall is full of tall guys who are nearly 190CM tall!
But the height of Gu Ran's scimitar-shaped kick was just over two meters! Theoretically, the Northampton wall could have headed the ball away, but the ball had a very large rotation arc and was extremely fast!
The defensive players in the strong zone were all caught off guard! By the time they reacted, the ball had already shaved past their scalps! Northampton's defensive players only hit the tail of the airflow from the ball! Northampton 's goalkeeper Charles Dunn watched the ball rushing towards the right side of the goal, and quickly moved his feet to the right side!
But after the football passes through the strong area of the human wall, it has a very, very, very sudden reverse downward spin!
It was as if God helped me in mid-air! What happened!!!???
Charles Dunn was stunned...
The football passed everyone's eyes with an extremely violent speed and a nearly perfect arc and fell straight into the net!
The ball went in! The ball went in!!! Gu Ran raised his right arm, slashed the wind with one hand, and ran wildly on the court to celebrate!
The Southampton players also chased Gu Ran madly in ecstasy! They wanted to share the joy of this super awesome goal with Gu Ran! However, Gu Ran was too fast! None of their players could catch up!
Is this a limp?! The referee was stunned for a moment, then blew the whistle and pointed to the center circle with both hands, indicating that the goal was valid! The staff at St. Mary's Stadium couldn't wait to change the score on the big screen to Southampton 1:1 Northampton! It's tied!
Gu Ran shoots as soon as he appears on the scene!
The Northampton players were stunned! The Northampton fans were even more stunned!
This ball... is so fucking awesome! Is it Beckham with black hair?
No, Beckham's ball curve is perfect and elegant, but it is not so powerful, nor does it have such a strong sense of falling!
This, this, this, was this really kicked out by a crippled person with a closed eye?
If he wasn't lame, he would have gone crazy and killed people, right?!
At this moment, Northampton fans finally understood why Southampton fans cheered wildly when "the cripple" first appeared on the field! Anyone who had a player like this would go crazy!
"yeah!!!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Southampton fans swept away the depression in their hearts in the first half, and all the unhappiness was drowned out by the sky-high dopamine pleasure!
It feels so good! I get goose bumps all over my body!
The long-lost Gu-style crescent-shaped scimitar!
The Southampton fans cried with joy and sang Gu Ran's special hymn in unison:
"There is a young and handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran!"
“Ahhhh!”
"He knocked out the Northampton Smelly Cobblers as soon as he came on the field!"
"Don't cry, stinky shoemaker! Don't cry!"
“Ahhhh!”
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
MaxxRT and others also sang along with the Southampton fans! This rhythm and this song are so brainwashing!
"Fuck! Fuck! Ran came right away!"
"Brother Ran is so awesome!"
"With Brother Ran here, who the hell would still watch those scumbags in the national football team?"
"This kick is so awesome!"
“I can’t believe that Brother Ran was able to perform this crescent-shaped scimitar kick while injured!”
"It's a pity that the fans in China didn't get to see this amazing kick from Ran in person!"
"Qiao Shan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and start the live text broadcast!"
"I don't know how to describe it. It feels fake no matter how I describe it..."
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
The DJ at St. Mary's Stadium howled for more than 20 seconds, then took a quick breath and continued to howl: "The one who scored the goal was our number 8! He just came on the field! Southampton's rising star! Gu——————Ran!"
"Gu Ran equalized the score for Southampton within less than a minute of coming on the pitch!"
"This free kick is amazing!"
"This kick was so brilliant that it could definitely compete for one of the top ten goals in English football this year!"
"Let's cheer for Gu Ran together! Gu Ran——"
“Ahhhh!”
"Gu Ran!"
“Ahhhh!”
"Gu Ran!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
The atmosphere of the entire St. Mary's Stadium was pushed to the extreme! The reporters in the media area also shook their heads in disbelief and exclaimed: "Gu Ran is really awesome."
"From a technical point of view, this kick was really explosive! As a bystander, my hands and feet are numb now!"
"I'm not exaggerating, but this crescent-shaped scimitar kick is a crushing force even in the Premier League."
"The most terrifying thing is that this great shot was made when Gu Ran was injured and had a closed injection!"
"Ah, yes, the more this happens, the more I feel pity for Gu Ran."
"Gu Ran is risking his career!"
"This Beckham-style kick is very damaging to the ankle! I really want to know how Gu Ran can hold on."
"He carefully observed his facial expression when he kicked the Crescent Moon Scimitar, and did not find a trace of pain! This shows that Gu Ran is really...too tenacious!"
The reporters were all in awe.
"Of course, the happiest thing is that today's hot search has been booked! Gu Ran appeared on the field and scored a goal. Hahahaha, when the post-match press conference comes, the head coach of Northampton will kiss the donkey's ass in public!"
"Hahaha! That's right! I can't wait to see it!"
"Hehehe, speaking of which, Gu Ran is really a treasure boy for us media people!"
"Yes, yes, the news surrounding Gu Ran alone can support an entire newspaper!"
"Oh, I really hope Gu Ran can keep playing, so that we can always have big news!"
"It would be better if there were more gossip."
"It's okay. As long as Gu Ran can still play football, we can help him with the scandals."
Evelin, who was standing by, cursed in her heart: You reporters...
At this moment, Coach Adkins in the technical area on the sidelines excitedly clenched his fist and yelled at Coach Samples: "Yeah—donkey! Donkey! Donkey!"
Coach Samples pursed his lips, his face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.
According to common sense, it is impossible for the lame Gu Ran to play, and even if Gu Ran could play, he would not be able to score a goal.
Can……
Not only did Gu Ran appear on the field, he also scored a goal, and he scored the goal as soon as he appeared on the field!
This, this, this, who the hell is this? Coach Sampson has played football for half his life, and has been a football coach for half his life, and he has never seen a situation like this! ... I really want time to go back! If time could go back, I would definitely take back what I said in the pre-match press conference.
This is terrible. Let’s not talk about whether Northampton can win this game. Even if Northampton can win, they will have to kiss the donkey’s butt at the post-match press conference.
Coach Sampson felt his lips were a little bitter...
At this time, Gu Ran ran half a circle with one hand, stacking the "Review Celebration" BUFF while checking the blue skill bubbles of the Northampton players.
After a simple comparison, Gu Ran focused his mind and picked up four basic skills: reverse foot stop +1.
+1 for quick short passes.
+1 for running and coordination in the midfield and frontcourt.
+1 for interception and steal.
The first three skills are all fresh basic ball skills.
Gu Ran’s last interception and steal was already +3, and after picking it up, it was stacked to +4.
After picking up the items, Gu Ran ran back to the left back position with satisfaction.
The other Southampton players were also in high spirits and quickly got into their positions.
Lallana shouted to Gu Ran as he ran, "Gu, remember to feed me! Remember to feed me!"
Gu Ran didn't want to bother with Lallana who was like Xianglin Sao.
The game continues!
Northampton forwards Billy McGee and Ted Purcell kicked off in the center circle with depressed looks on their faces.
Northampton's tactics still rely on short passes and cautious advancement.
Southampton also continued to press forward with a high-pressure attitude and defend closely.
The two sides fought fiercely and the air was filled with gunpowder.
The game was in the 66th minute.
Northampton formed a triangle on Southampton's left. After receiving the pass from Josh Walker, midfielder Abdul used his body to push away Lambert who was pressing forward, and quickly passed the ball to his own right forward Francis Laurent.
Francis stopped the ball easily, spread his long legs and accelerated dribbling.
Josh Walker took the opportunity to go straight into the middle space, ready to respond.
Chamberlain immediately pressed Francis.
Francis toed and half turned to pass the ball to Josh Walker who had already run into space in the middle.
This is exactly the short pass penetration that Northampton is best at.
Such a high frequency of interspersed running and short passes made Southampton's defense stretched and repeatedly broken through.
Just when Southampton fans began to worry, Gu Ran suddenly started quickly from the left and headed for the middle to intercept!
Francis' pass was not far away, and Josh Walker, who received the ball, was in a good enough position, so Josh Walker did not take Gu Ran's sprint seriously at all.
Josh Walker didn't think Gu Ran could rush over in such a short time.
Josh Walker didn't even take two steps back to catch the ball in advance, but waited for the ball to roll over.
Josh Walker's focus was on accelerating directly after receiving the ball and assisting Ted Purcell who had penetrated to the front of the penalty area.
After all, how fast can a lame player with a closed leg go? Before Josh Walker could stop the ball, Gu Ran came straight at him like a low-flying bomber.
Josh Walker was stunned for a moment!
Without waiting for him to prepare for a physical confrontation, Gu Ran used a powerful shoulder strike, directly knocking Josh Walker back several steps! "Yeah!!!"
Southampton fans' adrenaline surged instantly, and they cheered crazily for Gu Ran! Gu Ran easily stopped the rolling football with his left foot, and then dribbled the ball directly into the middle!
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water! The Southampton players immediately ran wildly!
Gu Ran's appearance changed the passive situation of Southampton's defense! Southampton's defensive counterattack is coming! Josh Walker hurriedly stabilized his body and chased back to steal the ball! Northampton's head coach Samps yelled angrily in the technical area: "Stop him! He's a cripple! You bunch of rubbish! You can't even outrun a cripple? Hurry up and stop him!"
Francis immediately turned around to intercept.
Chamberlain stuck to Francis tightly, not giving Francis any chance to speed up!
This has nothing to do with Gu Ran or the team. Chamberlain just wanted to take revenge on Francis for walking him around like a dog in the first half! Gu Ran took the opportunity to drive straight into the game with the ball!
Abdul rushed towards Gu Ran fiercely! Southampton fans held their breath anxiously——
Southampton fans are deeply impressed by Abdul's ferocity and cunningness.
Gu Ran's ankle was injured. If he was injured by Abdul again, he would be really useless! Gu Ran suddenly stopped and stepped on the ball!
"Wow!!!"
Sprinting at such a high speed and then suddenly stopping without slowing down, the strong muscle control made everyone at the scene exclaim in surprise.
Abdul hit nothing and quickly stopped and turned around.
When Abdul turned halfway, a huge gap appeared between his legs! Gu Ran kicked the ball directly! The ball passed through Abdul's crotch before he turned around! Crotch pass +4!
This is the reward result of the hidden lottery! The whole crotch-penetrating action is fast, precise, smooth and beautiful!
Abdul didn't react at all and continued to turn around!
Gu Ran took off from the spot and circumvented Abdul who was still turning around! Abdul then realized that he was being pierced from behind and quickly twisted his body again!
However, his center of gravity lost control after two consecutive rapid transfers, and his body immediately lost balance!
Abdul fell to the ground without any contact with Gu Ran! Gu Ran took the opportunity to catch up with the crotch pass he had passed! Crotch pass + overtaking!
This was a playful, extremely smooth, top-notch predicted, super shocking, and super exciting pass! Just these two short seconds were worth all the excitement in the first half!
St. Mary's Stadium exploded instantly!
