The muscles on Walcott's face twitched suddenly, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound!
This Chinese boy is so arrogant!
How can he be more arrogant than Bendtner?
How dare you accuse me of slacking off?
I, Walcott, am the strongest player in coach Wenger's team. I will never lose to you!
——Walcott turned around and looked at Coach Wenger on the bench and found that Coach Wenger was also looking in his direction.
Walcott's morale suddenly exploded!
The game continues!
Corner for Arsenal.
Arshavin continued to use the short corner kick tactic, with Arsenal looking for loopholes in Southampton through outside passes.
Southampton's defense is as solid as an iron barrel, impenetrable.
Although Southampton is a weak team, it still has a foundation in the Premier League.
The individual abilities of Southampton players are certainly not as good as those of Arsenal players, but Southampton has strong execution, and their defense is very active and fierce.
With such an attitude towards the game, even though there was a big gap in strength between Southampton and Arsenal, and even though the scene was ugly, Southampton did not allow Arsenal to easily expand the score advantage.
After several attempts from the outside, Arsenal could only pass the ball to center forward Bendtner who had the height advantage.
Before Bendtner could get into position, Gu Ran instantly shook off Walcott's high defense and used his body to block Bendtner before he jumped up.
Bendtner also put all his strength into physical confrontation with Gu Ran, and the muscles of both men were crackling under the powerful force!
Neither of them gave in! Both were burning their energy at a high speed! All the Arsenal fans present opened their mouths in disbelief.
Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that a strong center forward like Bendtner was actually blocked 1v1 by a young Chinese player who looked a little thin! Central defender Jaidi took the opportunity to jump and clear the ball outside the penalty area.
Arsenal's central defender Djokovic just picked up the ball and shot from long range, but the ball went over the crossbar.
Arsenal fans immediately sighed.
This was the Nth goal Arsenal missed in the first half.
Arsenal is all thunder but no rain, all bloom but no fruit, all waste of energy but no goals.
In the small penalty area, Bendtner was still desperately using his body to fight against Gu Ran.
Gu Ran suddenly dodged and retreated nimbly.
——He fought against Bendtner for a full 3 seconds. If he continued to fight, he would have wasted his energy and it would have been meaningless.
When Gu Ran pulled away, Bendtner staggered in embarrassment and almost kowtowed to Davis on the goal line.
Before Bendtner could even start to talk trash, Gu Ran said scornfully, "You're not good enough either."
"Fuck..." Bendtner was mad! Bendtner ran to Gu Ran with a fierce look and blocked Gu Ran fiercely.
Just when the other players thought Bendtner was going to take action, he suddenly pulled his shorts down, revealing half of his red shorts with an advertisement for a gambling company printed on them.
"Kid, look carefully! I have an endorsement! I am much better than you!"
Gu Ran: ...
What a classic scene!
I can’t handle this kind of situation, I really can’t handle it!
Gu Ran was trying hard to hold back his laughter.
Beep beep beep!
The referee blew the whistle and ran over, showing a yellow card to Bendtner, whose underpants and spinach advertisement were half exposed.
The Southampton fans burst into laughter.
What a magical brain circuit! What a breathtaking operation!
Coach Wenger on the bench covered his face in shame.
Bendtner himself was very depressed about receiving the yellow card - he felt that he was wronged, as he clearly did not take off all his clothes!
Light~ A green bubble of special talent point appeared under Bendtner's feet!
...Bendtner, you finally got cheated! Gu Ran was secretly delighted and quickly focused his mind to pick up this special talent point.
This is a special talent point in the physical category and can only be allocated to physical attributes.
Without hesitation, Gu Ran allocated this special talent point to the physical attribute, increasing the physical attribute from 83 points to 84 points.
Up to now in this game, Gu Ran's repeated sprints and aggressive physical confrontations have consumed a lot of physical energy. In addition, the use of system skills will also consume additional physical energy. Therefore, when the game is approaching 30 minutes, it is definitely the most appropriate allocation to improve physical energy in a timely manner.
In this way, Gu Ran still has 7 chances to pick up items today, and there are 5 talent points left.
As soon as the special talent points were allocated, Gu Ran felt that his physical strength had obviously recovered.
Very good... I can continue to fight!
The game continues——
Arsenal's offensive continued.
Southampton's defense gradually adapted to the rhythm of this fierce attack, and the midfield stranglehold became more and more confident.
Only when his own defense is stable will Gu Ran consider counterattacking. Otherwise, it would be easy to ruin the situation.
In the next ten minutes, the two sides engaged in extremely fierce physical confrontation in the midfield and Southampton's backcourt area.
Gu Ran began to frequently move to the central midfielder position, switching positions with Dixon.
Walcott chased after Gu Ran, but he couldn't catch up at all. Instead, Gu Ran took the opportunity to consume a lot of his energy.
When Gu Ran appeared in the defensive midfielder position, Nasri was restricted by the triangle formed by Gu Ran, Hammond and Martin, and was unable to pass and cut smoothly.
After Arsenal lost Nasri, the attacking midfielder, they played in chaos for a while and shot blindly in the frontcourt.
Judging from the shooting data, Arsenal had 14 shots and Southampton had 0 shots, which was simply a brutal abuse.
However, apart from Bendtner's goal 22 seconds into the game, Arsenal's bombardment was really just a bombardment.
Although Southampton played poorly, they actually managed to hold their ground.
Southampton really fought hard and the physical confrontation was very fierce.
The game turned into a hand-to-hand positional warfare confrontation. The Ashburton team beat the war drums and led the fans to sing "The Angel" to cheer for the Arsenal team.
“…Nor~th London forever!” “Whatever the weather,” no matter how the weather changes, “These streets are our own!” These streets belong to us!
"And my heart will leave you never~" "My blood will forever run through the stone!" (The stone here should refer to the stone on the angel revolving door of Highbury Stadium, and it also further refers to the Gunners spirit passed down from generation to generation by Arsenal.) The chorus is completely in the style of slow rock, with a very relaxed rhythm. With the chorus of tens of thousands of people, it seems very domineering.
There is not a single word in this song that mentions "Arsenal", but every word is about Arsenal.
——Of course the lyrics in the first part are better, but because they are too realistic and contain all banned words, it is not convenient to show them.
Along with the song "Angel Gate", Arsenal's offensive rhythm also slowed down significantly.
After 35 minutes of crazy sprinting, even Arsenal's Benner would be tired.
Arsenal's physical fitness has entered the first fatigue window period.
On the contrary, the Southampton team, who focused on defense and did not sprint back and forth much, seemed to be full of energy.
Of course, although Arsenal's pace slowed down, their passing and cutting coordination was still very sharp.
The Southampton team is still cautious and dare not be careless at all.
The game was in the 40th minute.
Under the on-the-spot command of coach Adkins, Southampton's defensive range expanded outward by more than ten meters.
Wilshere received the pass and passed it to Nasri who was running near the halfway line.
Arsenal are running all the time, passing the ball and receiving the ball, and their running speed is no different from sprinting.
But once this sprint slows down, its power is greatly reduced.
Southampton's five midfielders quickly surrounded and strangled the team, and even center forward Guli retreated back to cooperate in the stranglehold.
Nasri used his personal speed and footwork to pull the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Arsenal's right winger Walcott made a run to the left, and right back Eboue quickly assisted Nasri.
Seeing this, Gu Ran immediately started from the left back position, sprinted at high speed, and directly intercepted Nasri.
A large space then appeared on the left side of Southampton!
Walcott, who originally thought he would have to fight Gu Ran in close quarters, was overjoyed and quickly cut inside to the left rib space! Wenger, who was on the bench, frowned slightly: No way? Gu Ran shouldn't be so impulsive and make such a low-level mistake, right?
Coach Wenger suddenly sat up straight, staring with wide eyes.
At this time, Nasri saw that Gu Ran was about to rush in front of him, and Walcott had already got behind Gu Ran. Nasri immediately stopped, paused to create space for passing the ball, and then made a lob pass, passing the ball directly to Walcott!
It seems that Arsenal has found a breakthrough in Gu Ran!
Arsenal fans cheered excitedly! Nasri's personal breakthrough, plus the pause to find space to pick up the ball, the whole set of movements was extremely smooth! However, at the moment when Nasri paused and kicked the ball, Gu Ran suddenly stopped and turned back!
The speed of intercepting Nasri before was very fast, but the speed of sudden stop and turn was even faster, more than twice as fast!
It was obvious! Gu Ran had planned this long ago! Gu Ran exploded, and his entire body was as fast as a flash of lightning!
Walcott had just reached his position and had just stopped the ball from Nasri. Before he started to cut into the penalty area, and before he could see the positions of his other teammates, Gu Ran "teleported" to his side! Walcott was shocked!
Gu Ran’s sprinting speed was so fast that he couldn’t believe it!
But Walcott is a star player in the Premier League for many years, and his reaction is also very fast! Walcott subconsciously stopped and turned to protect the ball, preparing to use the sudden stop to increase the distance between him and Gu Ran and cut in from behind Gu Ran.
How could Gu Ran waste such a good counterattack opportunity? Gu Ran had no intention of blocking Walcott's path, but directly crashed into Walcott! It was a stranglehold! It was a hand-to-hand fight! It was a physical confrontation! Crushing! Invasion! Gu Ran did not stop, and directly did a sideways shoulder collision and turned around to block the position, and hit Walcott heavily who had just completed a half-turn and stopped.
Walcott's center of gravity was out of control in an instant, and he was knocked back three steps! I can't bear it, I really can't bear it!
Walcott was crushed with a red face and despair in his eyes! The Southampton fans in the stands were so excited!
This scene is so beautiful! Southampton has been oppressed for so long, and now they finally have a chance to fight back! Perhaps because he was mentally prepared, or perhaps because he was unwilling to give up as the "strongest person in the team", Walcott fell to the ground and shoveled the ball desperately when he had lost his balance! This kick was a bit dirty! Walcott wanted to shovel Gu Ran and the ball away together! Southampton fans were instantly worried - they thought Gu Ran still had an ankle injury, and they were afraid that Gu Ran would get hurt even more.
Gu Ran stepped on the ball and performed a beautiful Marseille turn, with a gorgeous waltz-like turn, perfectly avoiding Walcott's tackle and pushing the ball away from the dangerous area!
Handsome! Stunningly handsome! So handsome! The female fans of Southampton were mesmerized! The male fans of Southampton were so excited!
Walcott, who fell to the ground, was dumbfounded!
Walcott couldn't believe that he was completely defeated by a grassroots player from China!
...I have let down Coach Wenger!
...I am no longer the strongest person in Wenger's team...
Light! A green bubble appeared under Walcott's feet! Another special talent point!
Gu Ran didn't think much, he just focused his mind and took it, without checking the attributes, he continued to accelerate and dribble forward! From "losing position", to accelerating back to defend and counter-grab, to strangling and stealing the ball, to Marseille turning around and sprinting, the whole process was as smooth as mercury pouring out of the ground! All the Arsenal fans present were stunned!
Just now, they thought that Gu Ran made a fatal mistake due to his inexperience and impatience, but now they realized that it was not a mistake at all, but a stranglehold that Gu Ran had set up deliberately!
This guy, is he really that daring? He doesn't play by the rules at all!
This method of deliberately exposing flaws and then counterattacking requires not only extremely calm judgment and an extremely strong heart, but also extremely superb personal abilities!
Physical fitness, speed, burst, strength, prediction, vision, steals, and most importantly, basketball IQ, none of them can be missing!
Although it seems like just an ordinary interception, this is a weak team intercepting a strong team! And it was under the attack of the strong team! Even the slightest mistake will make the team the sinner who will never redeem themselves!
But Gu Ran not only withstood the pressure, but also decisively and beautifully completed this one-man strangulation!
Yes, Gu Ran alone strangled Arsenal’s entire right-side attack!
The silence in the first 40 minutes was all waiting for this moment! The passion of Southampton fans was instantly ignited!
All the saints jumped up excitedly and cheered wildly!
At this moment, Arsenal players have not realized the seriousness of the problem.
Only coach Wenger frowned.
Coach Wenger had already seen Gu Ran's intention to expose the flaw in advance, but the changes on the field were too fast and Coach Wenger had no time to remind the players.
Of course, coach Wenger is not in a hurry.
The advantage is in my Arsenal.
Even if Gu Ran could counterattack in the backcourt, he would not pose any threat.
On the contrary, it would be more beneficial for Arsenal to let Southampton attack.
I can also take a look at Gu Ran's ability to pass the ball...
Wenger thought secretly in his heart: Well, let's see how Southampton counterattacks from Gu Ran's point. This is also a good opportunity to test whether Gu Ran can be transformed into a defensive midfielder.
——It is highly likely that Gu Ran will use a long pass from the backcourt to find the center forward Gu Li who is currently near the center circle.
Coach Wenger's lips curled up into a smile, indicating that everything was under control.
Gu Ran used a gorgeous Marseille turn to avoid Walcott who was falling to the ground to tackle him, then accelerated and dribbled forward along the sidelines!
It’s not about long passes from the backcourt, but about fighting alone and breaking through the wing!
Coach Wenger frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed: It seems that this kid is still a little naive. Facing Arsenal, he dares to dribble from the backcourt? Just after thinking this, the next second, Coach Wenger couldn't help but take a breath! Gu Ran's dribbling speed on the wing was extremely fast!
Gu Ran's thigh muscles were tense as he sprinted, and the frequency of his legs was full of violent aesthetics! Arsenal's right winger Walcott's sprinting speed was very fast, but Gu Ran's speed was obviously much faster than Walcott's!
Seeing this, Arsenal's right-back Eboue immediately made a high interception towards Gu Ran.
Other Arsenal players also retreated according to the formation, but obviously did not sprint forward.
On the one hand, it is already more than 40 minutes into the first half, and Arsenal's physical energy has reached a threshold window period.
On the other hand, most of the Arsenal players on the field did not take the solo fight of the Chinese player Gu Ran seriously.
Wilshere and Nasri in the midfield also focused on intercepting center forward Guli.
Even those who knew Gu Ran's fame only regarded him as the protagonist of tabloid gossip. They simply did not believe that Gu Ran, a grassroots left-back, could penetrate Arsenal's defense.
A rich Ivorian player, can't he defend against a Chinese grassroots player? A left-back, can he rush into the penalty area with the ball and shoot? Impossible! It's impossible! With such thoughts, the other Arsenal players just rushed back to defend routinely, and no one came up to cooperate with Eboue to strangle Gu Ran.
They just kept a certain distance from Eboue in the defensive formation to ensure that they could come up and provide support at any time.
Gu Ran was secretly happy!
This counterattack must be fast, so fast that Arsenal will have no time to react!
Steal one of them! Gu Ran accelerated directly! Eboue rushed towards Gu Ran fiercely, using his experience to lock Gu Ran's forward and inside path in advance! I have to say that Eboue is really strong! He is worthy of being a first-class Premier League star and a genius full-back! Eboue's defensive positioning is indeed impeccable! He is also physically strong, fast, and has a large defensive area!
If you want to dribble the ball through Eboue's defense, you basically have to slow down and be prepared for a head-on collision with the African elephant.
Once they get close to Eboue, even if they can hold off Eboue, it will be impossible for them to launch a quick break attack.
However, Gu Ran did not slow down to prepare for physical confrontation, but directly kicked the ball forward along the left boundary line, then ran out of bounds, bypassed Eboue's defensive position, and accelerated to chase the ball! Eboue was stunned!
Waterfuck!
No matter how large the defensive area is, you can’t defend outside the boundary!
And this scene...seems familiar?
Isn't this Tottenham star Bale overtaking on the outside lane?
Fuck!!!
Eboue immediately ran as fast as he could within the boundary to chase the ball!
As Arsenal's right back, Eboue has also been abused by Tottenham's Bale who overtook him on the outside!
Eboue originally thought that he didn't need to give his all when playing against a mid-table English League One team and the opponent was a grassroots player. Unexpectedly, he was hit by a Bale-style slam dunk! Eboue chased desperately, while shouting in his heart: Southampton, why do you only cultivate such a monster star who loves to overtake! Eboue accelerated at full speed, and the speed was extremely fast!
As the right-wing breakthrough king of the Arsenal team, Eboue definitely didn't want to lose to Gu Ran in terms of speed! Gu Ran immediately felt Eboue's powerful explosive power!
This powerful confrontation instantly made Gu Ran's adrenaline surge!
If you are not happy now, when will you be happy? Gu Ran's attributes and skills are fully activated!
Speed 77, burst 78, high-speed sprint dribbling +4, continuous charge and collision: violent sprint +3, super acceleration: Son of the Wind +3, top sprint: King of Highbury +2!
Gu Ran’s physical energy is burning like crazy!
The blood in my body is burning like crazy! The dopamine in my brain is secreted like crazy!
The feeling of being able to compete with the top players in the Premier League in speed is really awesome! Gu Ran's steps are big and fast, as if he is possessed by Henry, and full of the beauty of violent aesthetics!
The famous scene of the black-haired Bale overtaking on the outside lane reappeared! In just three seconds, Gu Ran left Eboue, who was accelerating in a straight line, behind by two body positions and caught the ball that he had passed to him three seconds ago! Southampton fans cheered wildly!
Whether they can win today or not is aside for now. Just the sight of Gu Ran beating Eboue in a 1v1 is enough to make people feel proud! Arsenal fans were suffocated!
No one expected to see such a shocking scene in a friendly match with a mid-table English League One team! Gu Ran's sprint not only has the style of Bale's overtaking, but also the characteristics of Ronaldo's violent aesthetics, and even has the characteristics of the high-frequency stride of Henry, the King of Highbury!
At this moment, it was as if the new King of Highbury had arrived at the Emirates Stadium! Arsenal fans were fascinated by Gu Ran's violent aesthetics!
Wenger, who was sitting on the bench, also held his breath, his eyes completely lit up! Gu Ran's performance... was far beyond his imagination! Now, even if Arsenal had to bear all of Gu Ran's salary to loan him over, even if Wenger had to personally invite Gu Ran to agree to the loan, it would be worth it! A Chinese little Henry for free...
Just thinking about it makes me feel like I've made a fortune! Coach Wenger is so happy! ...
