Gu Ran opened the ball for three seconds and ate Eboue alive! Then he took the ball and cut into the penalty area! Arsenal's right side was destroyed by Gu Ran alone! Eboue saw that he could not catch up with Gu Ran, so he immediately slid forward and tackled——
The kick was so fierce that a lot of the precious grass at the Emirates Stadium was uprooted and grass debris flew everywhere!
Gu Ran anticipated Eboue's sliding tackle, and without turning around to look, he used a smooth and skilled Cristiano Ronaldo's step-down turn, knocked the ball towards his ribs, and changed direction to dodge! Eboue almost brushed past Gu Ran's left heel...
Empty! The Southampton fans at the scene covered their hearts and cheered excitedly!
The inertia of Eboue's sliding tackle was too great, and he had no time to stop Gu Ran a second time. He could only watch Gu Ran disappear into the distance!
Light~ Eboue dropped a blue skill bubble! Gu Ran had no time to care about it and continued to dribble inside! He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Arsenal's second line of defense had not yet assembled and formed, and launch a lightning raid on them! Seeing that Gu Ran had broken through the entire right side and was about to blast through the middle alone, Arsenal's defensive players were completely at a loss!
No one expected that in just a few seconds, this grassroots left-back from China actually ate up the young tiger Walcott and the breakthrough king Eboue! The entire Arsenal team hurriedly accelerated to sprint back to defend and intercept! - Regardless of the result of this wave of defense, the physical consumption alone was several times more than before! The Ashburton team in the stands desperately beat the drums to cheer for Arsenal!
Arsenal fans also felt scared for the first time!
Ramsey in the midfield sprinted desperately to intercept Gu Ran's inside cut, and Wilshere also sprinted back to defend at the far end.
Central defender Djokovic also headed out from the penalty area, forming a defensive triangle with Ramsey and Wilshere.
This triangle double-team was formed very quickly. It can be said that Arsenal is worthy of being Arsenal, it was really fast!
But Gu Ran cut inside decisively and at a faster speed!
Gu Ran did not run to the open space, because at this time it all depends on speed. Once he runs to the open space outside the left rib, Eboue who had just gotten rid of will come to help defend and cooperate with Zhu Lu and others to form a more dangerous diamond double-team!
Eat one of the corners before the triangle is formed!
Gu Ran dribbled the ball and sprinted head-on against Death God Ramsey!
Ramsey tried his best to chase and intercept at full speed, but he couldn't catch up at all! If Ramsey had retreated to his own half when Gu Ran started to counterattack from the left, he might have been able to block Gu Ran's inside position, but... he was careless! At that time, when Gu Ran was fighting against Walcott, he used his physical strength to eat Walcott alive, so Ramsey thought that Gu Ran was just physically tough and it was no big deal. But when Gu Ran switched to speed to eat Eboue alive, Ramsey realized that he had misjudged him! Gu Ran, not only has excellent sprinting speed and physical confrontation, but what's more terrifying is that Gu Ran knows when to use physical confrontation and when to use sprinting speed!
This is basketball IQ! Top basketball IQ!
A 17-year-old grassroots player from China actually possesses such a terrifying basketball IQ!
Seeing that he could not catch up with Gu Ran's sprinting speed, Ramsey could only do the same as Eboue and slide towards Gu Ran!
As a defensive midfielder, Ramsey's tackles are very sharp and accurate, and his movements are very decisive and ruthless!
However, facing the shovel of death, Gu Ran did not slow down at all! Gu Ran flexibly raised his toes slightly during the high-speed sprint, and at the same time as his body jumped up, he lifted the ball about 30 centimeters high, dodging Ramsey's sliding tackle in an extreme way, and then used the instep of his foot to meet the ball and bounced it forward!
This was a dribbling ball during a sprint! Arsenal fans were all shocked!
Ramsey was also startled, but he quickly reacted and slid again without waiting to get up! Double shovel!!!
I have to say that Ramsey's defense was really amazing! Arsenal fans are about to cheer for Ramsey's superb performance——
But at the same moment, Gu Ran didn't let the ball fall to the ground, and jumped up again to dodge the ball! You have the double tackle of the god of death, but I have the Jedi control! Ramsey was dumbfounded!
Light~ Ramsey dropped a blue skill bubble! Gu Ran had no time to care about it, and continued to dribble and speed up to cut inside! At this moment, all the Arsenal fans were suffocated!
This unconventional dribbling move is full of imagination and is definitely not something that can be taught in a professional training camp! Moreover... this scene of dribbling the ball all the way is also one of Henry's classic scenes!
Henry once dribbled the ball 8 times in a row without dropping it across half court! Although Gu Ran only dribbled the ball 3 times without dropping it, this was done while he was being dodged by the Grim Reaper's shovel!
The two's dribbling skills are too similar! Both are full of high artistry! Before, Gu Ran's long-stride high-frequency dribbling had the shadow of Henry, and now this unconventional continuous dribbling without landing is even more full of Henry's power!
As an Arsenal fan, who can not like Henry? Who can not like a younger version of Henry? In the north stand, many Arsenal fans were cheering for Gu Ran silently in their hearts!
They were looking forward to Gu Ran scoring a goal at the Emirates Stadium - although in their opinion this was absolutely impossible, but even if Gu Ran could not score a goal, Gu Ran's series of dazzling kicks had already deeply shocked the hearts of the Arsenal fans at the scene!
Although Southampton played poorly, Gu Ran shone throughout the game!
This unconventional pass also allowed Gu Ran to eat up Arsenal's triangle defense! Wilshere and Djokovic had to temporarily change their strategy and move sideways in the direction of Gu Ran's breakthrough, trying to form a temporary defense line to prevent Gu Ran from going further.
At this time, Gu Li was still at the other end of the half and behind Gu Ran.
Koscielny retreated into the penalty area to help goalkeeper Szczesny block the shooting angle. Left-back Klich and the retreating Arshavin jointly defended Guli, preventing Guli from having the chance to connect with Gu Ran.
According to the Arsenal players, although Gu Ran's previous breakthroughs and dribbling were very exciting, he now has no way to advance and can only stop and wait for support from his Southampton teammates.
As long as Gu Ran stops and waits for support, Walcott, Eboue and Ramsey, who were just passed by Gu Ran, will fill in the position in time and form a new stranglehold on Gu Ran.
Even if Southampton's players could respond in time, Gu Ran's attack would only become a positional battle.
Then, Arsenal can definitely defend it by using more people against fewer.
What's more...the other Southampton players didn't seem to have any intention of coming up to support.
Except for center forward Gurley who followed up and supported, the other players basically did not cross half court.
Southampton is still implementing the tactic of full defense and saving energy.
This means that Gu Ran is now fighting against almost the entire Arsenal team on his own!
In the blink of an eye, Gu Ran dribbled the ball to 35 meters in front of the penalty area. Gu Ran turned his head and glanced at Chamberlain who was still in the left half of the field.
Chamberlain was shocked: You still have to rely on me!
Chamberlain quickly started from his own half -
Arsenal's defensive players also hurried to observe Chamberlain's position! At this moment, Gu Ran suddenly slowed down and stopped, and when the ball bounced up and was not prepared, he kicked it directly into the air!
Raid!
Long-range Shot 75! Heavy Artillery Long-range Shot: Cloud Piercing Arrow +3! Heavy Artillery Long-range Shot: Earth-shattering +3! Heavy Artillery Long-range Shot: Cruise Missile +1! Top-level Pass Shot: Divine Kick +1!
All skills activated!
Chamberlain, who was far behind him, screamed in fear: "Don't hit the door, don't hit the door, don't hit the door--"
Accompanied by Chamberlain's voice-over, the football was like an electromagnetically launched cannonball, drawing a razor-sharp upward angle in the horrified eyes of everyone!
The angle of elevation is not large, but the power is huge, the ball speed is extremely fast, the ball does not rotate, it is unexpected and precisely guided!
Arsenal's defense was completely unprepared!
No one expected that Gu Ran would cut in and launch a sneak shot!
The ball was shot almost right at the face of the prince Wilshere! Wilshere subconsciously shrank his neck! It was not that he was scared, it was really too close, and his body's self-protection consciousness was automatically aroused!
Koscielny, who was on the penalty area line, did not dodge, but jumped up in a panic to intercept, but it was too late! Compared with the speed of the ball, Koscielny's movements were as slow as a grandmother! Goalkeeper 3C Szczesny jumped up half a beat earlier than Koscielny and blocked with one hand——
Still no use! The ball went past Szczesny's fingers and into the upper left corner of the goal!
The ball...went in!!! A sudden and powerful shot from outside the penalty area! A world-class volley from 35 meters! Southampton scored with their first shot in the first half!
The referee blew the whistle to signal that the goal was valid! The score on the big screen immediately changed to Arsenal 1:1 Southampton!
Gu Ran chopped the wind with one palm and ran to celebrate - while stacking BUFFs, he took the opportunity to check the blue bubbles scattered all over the ground.
At this moment, Southampton fans went completely crazy! The feeling of excitement came suddenly and doubled! The players on the bench also jumped up and hugged each other to celebrate!
Being able to steal a point from a strong team in such a suffocating situation is such a great feeling, it’s so great!
It feels better than beating a weaker team by 10 goals!
Coach Adkins even slid to his knees, clenched his fists and looked up at the sky of the Emirates Stadium! The weather in North London was so sunny and the air was so sweet! The score of 1:1 in the first half was far beyond Coach Adkins' expectations!
This also greatly boosted Coach Adkins' confidence - his pre-match tactical arrangement was correct! And the biggest success of this tactic is: let Gu Ran act as the core free man! As long as Southampton keeps up this, they are likely to achieve an upset reversal in the second half! What will it feel like to beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium?
At this moment, Southampton people are full of ambitions!
In the stands, MaxxRT and others excitedly lit up the national flag!
This world-class shot is so exciting and explosive!
Whenever Gu Ran scores a goal or assists, it is their happiest and proudest moment! Who says Chinese people are not suitable for playing football?
Who says Chinese football is not good? China is full of good football talents, but they are delayed! In the media area, Evelyn was also excited and flushed, and she wanted to rush down and reward Gu Ran! In the scout area, Emenalo, Edwards, and Pratt were grinning from ear to ear.
First of all, their assessment of Gu Ran’s injury was correct - Gu Ran’s injuries had already fully recovered. Gu Ran was a gifted iron man who was extremely unlikely to get injured. Even if he was injured, he would recover quickly!
Secondly, there is nothing that can make them happier than watching Gu Ran beat Arsenal alone! Especially Chelsea's Emenalo, who was about to take off his clothes to celebrate! The Southampton players on the field happily rushed towards Gu Ran who was running wildly, and pressed Gu Ran to the ground to celebrate! This goal was so timely and inspiring!
All the suppression in the previous 40 minutes was worth it at this moment! All the "ugliness" in the previous 40 minutes became a careful foreshadowing at this moment!
Of course, not all Southampton players are happy.
Chamberlain looked depressed and stood with his hands on his hips with the Arsenal players.
If Chamberlain hadn't been wearing a Southampton jersey, people who didn't know would have thought he was an Arsenal player! The entire Arsenal team was extremely depressed.
This, this, this...what is this?
Is there still room for reason?
Wenger, who was on the bench, was also stunned! He had heard that Gu Ran was a good kid, and he had watched Gu Ran's training match with Liverpool U18 team, but...
Wenger was shocked again after seeing Gu Ran's strength in the official game! Transform Gu Ran into a defensive midfielder?
No, no, no, this idea is really too superficial! Gu Ran is just a little Henry! And he has already shown his brilliance! This sprint speed, physical confrontation, this lateral breakthrough, this dribbling skill, this inside run, this long-range shooting ability, this basketball IQ awareness... As long as you get it, you can use it!
Moreover, it is a panacea! It can be placed anywhere in the front and midfield!
This body resists hardness and can even be placed directly at the center position!
If Arsenal had Gu Ran, could they still rank fourth?
It’s just around the corner to defeat Chelsea and Manchester United!
The key is that Gu Ran is an extremely rare Chinese player! The profits from helping Arsenal expand the Chinese market are immeasurable!
No wonder Southampton treats Gu Ran like a treasure! It smells so good!
It seems that it is definitely not possible to rent it!
Need to pay extra...
Unfortunately, Arsenal’s money has all been put into fixed deposits.
If that doesn’t work, take out a loan for a down payment, and then pay in installments!
The down payment must be at least 3 million pounds! The total installment amount must be 6 million pounds! In addition, I will personally talk to Gu Ran and use my personality charm to convince him to ask Southampton to release him! That's right! That's it! Coach Wenger excitedly zipped his zipper back and forth.
At this time, Gu Ran, who was covered in heavy clothes, finally managed to break free from the crowd.
He has also picked up all the blue bubbles dropped by the Arsenal players.
In addition to the green special talent point dropped by Walcott, Eboue dropped a star bubble of "King of the Wing: Violent Breakthrough +1", Ramsey dropped a star bubble of "Super Defense: Death Slide +1", and Wilshere dropped a star bubble of "Super Pass and Shoot: One-Touch Pass +1".
As for the other drops, they are either too ordinary or contain garbage skills that have nothing to do with football.
Gu Ran noticed that the "One-kick Pass" skill already had a normal version, but the "Super Pass and Shoot: One-kick Pass" was different from the normal skill and had an additional prefix suffix.
And this "super" pre-suffix is different from the "top" pre-suffix.
It seems that even though these skills are similar in functionality, they are also layered in terms of affixes.
Wilshere's super pass and shot: one-touch pass is definitely not as good as Gerrard's top pass and shot: one-touch pass.
Picking up slightly lower skills now is also for the purpose of stacking skills and slightly improving the overall effect.
Of course, this also comes at the cost of sacrificing extra physical energy and mental strength.
If you use talent points to add points, you definitely cannot add them to this slightly lower level star skill.
This will make many ordinary pain-type skills seem useless and messy.
There are so many skills, it’s really a headache.
It would be great if I could exchange these slightly lower-level star skills and ordinary skills to strengthen them into top-level star skills...
I don’t know if there will be such a function when I reach personal rating A.
Take your time.
The road of career is long and it is impossible to achieve success overnight.
While running back, Gu Ran concentrated his mind and checked the attributes of the green special talent point.
This green talent point, which comes from fellow senior brother Walcott, is of the "technical" attribute.
Gu Ran thought about it quickly, and then allocated this talent point to the "stop the ball" attribute, and the ball control immediately increased from 68 points to 69 points.
The game continues——
Arsenal's Ashburton team beat drums even harder to cheer, and Arsenal fans also sang the Arsenal team song to cheer for the players.
The Arsenal team, whose goal was stolen by Gu Ran, was obviously mentally unbalanced and launched an almost crazy sprint attack after the kick-off.
Southampton quickly retreated and continued to respond with a solid defense and local strangulation.
The game returned to being "ugly and boring".
The two sides engaged in a fierce melee in Southampton's backcourt area.
In the 44th minute of the game, Arsenal's Nasri was tripped in front of the penalty area, and Arsenal got an excellent set-piece opportunity.
However, Arshavin's direct left-foot free kick was saved by goalkeeper Davis!
Arsenal got another corner kick.
The fourth official raised a sign to indicate that five minutes of extra time would be added to the first half.
This length of extra time is obviously to help Arsenal gain advantage.
Arshavin took the corner kick to the back post, Gu Ran made a god-like run, used his body to hold Wilshere who was running in, and cleared the ball out of the sideline in time.
Arsenal got another throw-in.
Arsenal reorganized the attack, intentionally avoiding the left side where Gu Ran was and passing the ball to the right side.
As soon as the defensive pressure on the left side was relieved, Gu Ran was immediately freed up and switched positions with Dixon, actively supporting and coordinating in the middle and right sides, double-teaming and strangling the opponent.
Arsenal's crazy attacks were cleared by Gu Ran again and again.
Gu Ran sprinted quickly, chased back and stole the ball, blocked the defense, pressed closely, intercepted and stole the ball, and slid to make a death tackle...
In the 5 minutes of injury time in the first half, Gu Ran almost took care of Southampton's entire defense line by himself!
Gu Ran, who was placed in the defensive midfielder position, fully activated his defensive ability! All the Arsenal players were driven crazy! In his impatience, Wilshere's pass to Nasri was shoveled down by Hammond! Hammond didn't even get up, he just lay on the grass and poked the ball to Gu Ran next to him!
The moment Gu Ran got the ball, Wilshere, Ramsey, Clichy, Eboue, and even center forward Bendtner all rushed over to double-team Gu Ran! Gu Ran was not in a hurry to pass the ball, but boldly dribbled to the right sideline in his own 30-meter danger zone! Right forward Schneiderlin immediately crossed to the middle -
Arsenal's players quickly moved to the right to intercept! At the moment when Gu Ran was in danger, Gu Ran suddenly lowered his shoulders like Matthews, shook off Wilshere and Ramsey who were approaching, and flashed an extremely narrow and short passing channel!
Gu passes the ball straight into the backcourt——
The ball penetrated the defensive line of Djokovic and Koscielny! Schneiderlin stopped the ball with his chest!
It's time to fight alone!!! Beep————————
The referee blew a long whistle, ending the first half of the game in a timely manner!
Southampton fans booed the referee!
Schneiderlin also looked regretful.
The pass was so beautiful that Schneiderlin excitedly applauded Gu Ran.
Southampton fans also gave Gu Ran the most enthusiastic applause for his wonderful performance.
Gu Ran attracted the attention of almost all the Arsenal players by himself. The scene just now was just like the scene in an online game where a great wizard gathered monsters together and attacked them! The most amazing thing was that the monsters that Gu Ran attacked were not ordinary monsters, but elite monsters! All the Arsenal players were sweating and panting because of Gu Ran's torment.
Fortunately, the first half of the game is over, otherwise... I really couldn’t bear it!
Faced with the 1:1 halftime score, many Arsenal fans held their heads in pain, unable to believe it.
They were not only upset about Arsenal being tied by Southampton, but more importantly... they all bought betting on this game.
I thought this match was a good opportunity to make money. Most Arsenal lottery players bought home team win in the first half and home team win in the second half. Some radical fans who pursued high odds directly bought more than 2.5 goals in the first half and more than 5.5 goals in the whole game...
The result... a low ball in the first half! And it was a 1:1 draw!
I almost had to sell my pants! Who would have thought that the Arsenal team, which was playing at full strength, could actually end up with a low ball situation in the first half! If they were reversed in the second half... then someone would really have to go to the rooftop to enjoy the view.
Players from both sides began to leave the field.
Coach Wenger unzipped his pants, cleared his throat, and stood up from the bench.
