After the 2:2 draw, Southampton immediately made substitutions and adjusted their formation.

Center forward Gurley was substituted and experienced veteran Connolly came on.

Southampton's formation was then adjusted to their most commonly used 442 formation.

Connolly and Lallana are forwards, Lambert returns to the midfield position slightly forward, and Dixon is slightly behind.

In the last ten minutes, Coach Adkins did not intend to adopt a conservative strategy, and Southampton began to implement high-pressure and full-court pressing tactics.

Such tactics are quite challenging in terms of physical fitness and formation coordination.

Similarly, it is also a huge test for the Arsenal team, which is obviously lacking in physical strength.

The game continues.

Southampton kicks off.

Lallana knocked the ball back to Lambert, who then passed it to Holmes on the left.

Arsenal's formation retreated, and they really did not have enough physical strength to press the entire court.

Southampton's formation then pressed forward.

Gu Ran then switched positions with Dixon and moved to the middle of the midfield.

At the same time, Gu Ran allocated one of the three remaining talent points to physical fitness, and the physical fitness attribute immediately increased to 87 points.

Gu Ran took out another talent point and allocated it to the burst attribute, and the burst attribute immediately increased from 78 points to 79 points.

——Such physical and explosive attributes are enough to sustain for another 15 minutes.

When Holmes was intercepted on the wing, he quickly seized the opportunity to pass the ball to the middle.

Gu Ran quickly moved to respond.

Wilshere, Ramsey and Fabregas immediately stepped forward to double-team Gu Ran.

Gu Ran didn't waste any time. After getting the ball, he passed it directly and accelerated to the right side.

There is no technique involved in this horizontal pass, it's just using speed to take down Arsenal's double-team!

Wilshere, Ramsey and Fabregas chased desperately, but they could not catch up with Gu Ran's cutting speed!

The scene was so exciting that the Southampton fans at the scene were so excited that their voices were hoarse! Wilshere and others could only bite the bullet and try their best to block Gu Ran's passing channel, but they did not dare to kick Gu Ran rashly.

They had all experienced Gu Ran's strength, and they were afraid that at this critical moment, their rash kicks would cause a loophole in the defense, allowing Gu Ran to force his way in.

Arsenal's overall defensive formation was very good.

But Gu Ran cut across all the way and forcibly tied down Arsenal's left and center defenders to the right side.

The center and left sides immediately became large weak areas.

At this time, Schneiderlin very cleverly made a cross run to the middle, and Arsenal's left-back Clichy hurriedly followed Schneiderlin.

Gu Ran seized the opportunity and made a precise and quick short pass to Schneiderlin who was running sideways.

Schneiderlin dribbled the ball and accelerated straight to the middle!

Arsenal's left-back Clichy and right-back Sagna immediately put Schneiderlin into close defense.

Schneiderlin's speed was suppressed and he was unable to force a breakthrough, so he half turned to protect the ball.

Gu Ran suddenly stopped on the right and sprinted back to support!

Wilshere and the others who were guarding Gu Ran were all in agony! Gu Ran was sprinting all over the field, but Wilshere and the others could no longer run!

——Southampton's previous strangulation tactics were effective in the final minutes of the game! Schneiderlin immediately knocked the ball back to Gu Ran, who immediately made a diagonal run to the left rib after receiving the ball!

Arsenal's left flank was almost empty! Gu Ran's wide-ranging, interlaced movement made all the Arsenal fans present gasp! Who would believe that Gu Ran was just a left-back? ! How could a left-back have such a large space to move? ! Coach Wenger's eyes widened with excitement, his mind full of thoughts of adding money.

At this moment, Arsenal's defense was like a pair of stockings that were torn by Gu Ran, and there were holes everywhere. Vermaelen and Koscielny retreated to the small penalty area to block Gu Ran's shot.

Connolly and Lallana took the opportunity to penetrate the empty space in the penalty area! Connolly's position was very good! Gu Ran directly made a pass while running! This kick was very powerful and fast! The route was precise and tricky, just like a scalpel cutting butter! Connolly took the ball with his back to the goal, and after stopping the ball, he twisted his body and hips, half turned and shot at a small angle!

Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny quickly lay down and rushed -

Connolly's shot was blocked by Szczesny and went out of the end line!

Connolly knelt in front of the door in frustration, holding his head and refusing to stand up for a long time.

For this ball, Gu Ran’s pass was really powerful, and Connolly’s shot was also above average, but... this is football.

Not every attack and shot will result in a goal.

Southampton fans couldn't help but sigh - it would be great if this ball could go in.

Arsenal fans cheered happily, but at the same time they felt a little depressed - they never thought that as fans of one of the top Premier League clubs, they would actually cheer for Southampton's failure to score a goal.

For this ball, Gu Ran's organization, involvement and transmission abilities were simply too strong.

If it weren't for the heroic performance of 3C Szczesny, and if Connolly hadn't been substituted in and his feet were not yet warmed up, Arsenal would have been reversed by Southampton by one goal again.

The game continued and Southampton got a corner kick.

High school defender Jaidi stood at the back post and Lallana immediately kicked the ball to the back post.

However, Jaidi failed to reach the first point due to Koscielny's defense.

There was chaos in Arsenal's penalty area, with players from both sides fighting desperately for the ball in the small and crowded space.

In the chaos, Ramsey fell to the ground to protect the ball, and then used his knee to pass the ball to Clichy next to him.

Before Gu Ran and others rushed up to compete for the ball, Clichy quickly kicked the ball to Fabregas on the outside!

Fabregas immediately sprinted with the ball! Gu Ran chased after Fabregas 10 meters behind him!

Arsenal's defensive counterattack is coming! Van Persie sprints on the wing to support! Ramsey and Wilshere are also desperately chasing Gu Ran! While the other Southampton players are physically stronger than Arsenal, their defensive speed is obviously slower than Arsenal!

Yes, the gap between the strong and weak teams is visible to the naked eye! Even though Arsenal's physical strength is close to collapse, at the moment of attack and defense, Arsenal is still the fast-shooting Arsenal! Dixon, who stayed in the second half of the Southampton team, also came up to intercept Fabregas head-on!

Coach Adkins yelled at Dixon in the technical area outside the court: "Don't tackle! Don't tackle! Slow down and retreat! Slow him down!"

Coach Adkins saw it clearly on the sidelines. As long as Dixon could block Fabregas's attack route and slow down Fabregas' dribbling speed, Gu Ran would be able to catch up quickly and double-team Dixon!

However, the entire field was filled with the sound of drums and roars of the Ashburton Army, and Coach Adkins's reminders were almost drowned out.

Dixon was obviously timid and nervous in a 1v1 situation with the world-class midfielder Fabregas! Dixon slid down the ball at Fabregas' feet! This sliding tackle was not firm. Although the tackle had already started, the force and range were still restrained. The action was not fierce enough and the tackle did not reach the target.

Fabregas was well prepared. He quickly pulled the ball with his left foot, then turned his body and easily avoided Dixon's sliding tackle with an artistic Marseille turn! Dixon missed the tackle!

Fabregas has a smooth road ahead! Southampton's double-teaming tactic to stop Fabregas' fast break is no longer viable!

Dixon got up in a panic and chased after him, but he had no chance at all! If Southampton scored this time, Dixon would be the culprit! Coach Adkins hugged his head in frustration, spewing all kinds of swear words! Gu Ran, who was chasing closely in the back row, did not give up, violently sprinting, the son of the wind, the king of Highbury!

Gu Ran was like a furious red and white lightning. He instantly left Wilshere and Ramsey behind and sprinted to the back of Fabregas!

Fabregas was immediately terrified! To put it in a way that sounds a bit exaggerated - Fabregas was not so terrified even when he played in the World Cup! Fabregas has been fucked by Gu Ran twice! Fabregas is really scared of this crazy Chinese from the bottom of his heart!

If I really have to face Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo on the world stage and get beaten, I'll just do it. It's not shameful.

But being fucked by a man who's the subject of a tabloid scandal is really humiliating!

High-speed sprinting and dribbling is not Fabregas' strong point. Facing the ferocious and violent Gu Ran, Fabregas was tense and prepared for the upcoming high-intensity confrontation.

Seeing that Gu Ran was about to get close, Fabregas didn't dare to fight with his speed anymore. He stopped suddenly and hooked the ball backwards, while turning around to chase the ball - Cruyff Turn! The fans at the scene exclaimed! To suddenly stop and do a Cruyff Turn at such a high speed really requires extremely strong body control.

Just when everyone thought that Gu Ran would be thrown away and would not have time to turn around to intercept, Gu Ran made an emergency stop and turn at the same moment that Fabregas stopped suddenly! He directly blocked Fabregas' body!

Fabregas was completely stunned!

His fake move was predicted and broken!

All the Arsenal fans at the scene stood up in shock!

Their captain, their world-class midfielder, was completely at a disadvantage in three head-to-head battles with Gu Ran!

Why do we need Fabregas? Isn't the 17-year-old Chinese player Gu Ran more attractive?

Fortunately, at this time, Wilshere and Ramsey arrived in time to support!

Wilshere rushed towards Gu Ran regardless of everything.

Gu Ran was unable to balance his strength and could not stick to Fabregas's steal while also withstanding Wilshere's attack. Gu Ran was immediately pushed away by Wilshere.

——This is also very helpless. Gu Ran clearly suppressed Fabregas in a 1v1 situation, but his teammates from Southampton did not provide timely support.

Ramsey immediately avoided Gu Ran's interception and dribbled the ball to the empty left side.

Wilshere and Fabregas continued to try their best to stop Gu Ran.

Ramsey dribbled the ball straight into Southampton's left rib, and was about to enter the penalty area! Goalkeeper Davis immediately moved to the left side of the penalty area, ready to save Ramsey's single shot in a 1v1 situation! Ramsey looked up at the goal! At this moment, celebrities all over the world were nervous!

Gu Ran, pulled by Fabregas and Wilshere, sprinted madly in pursuit!

Wilshere and Fabregas couldn't stop Gu Ran anymore——

Ramsey kicked the ball directly and passed it back to the right side of the penalty area! The football drew a powerful diagonal line in the air and flew towards Van Persie!

Van Persie did not stop the ball while running at high speed, his feet left the ground, and he made a diving header outside the penalty area! This was a diving header shot at least 25 meters away from the goal! Davis was helpless...

The football was blasted into the net! The ball went in!!!

Arsenal scored two goals in five minutes and turned the game around!

Still Van Persie!!! The Arsenal fans at the scene burst into passion instantly, the drums of the black Ashburton Army roared loudly, almost blowing the grand Emirates Stadium away!

In the 86th minute, after being miraculously reversed by the English League One team Southampton, Arsenal once again reversed the score with the help of the newly replaced Robin van Persie! The score on the big screen was immediately changed to Arsenal 3:2 Southampton! The total number of goals for the two teams also reached 5! The fans who had already bought the total number of goals less than 5 were about to cry out loud.

In the first half, the two teams were tied at 1:1, and even before the 70th minute, there were only 3 goals. Who would have thought that in the last 5 minutes of the second half, Arsenal could score 2 goals in a row! If they continue to play like this, Southampton will be defeated!

According to the payout rules of the bookmaker, with 5 goals now, lottery fans will lose at most half of their capital.

If Arsenal scored one more goal, they would be completely finished.

Of course, the happiest person is the dealer.

This game, especially towards the end of the second half, was full of drama, unexpectedness, and upsets!

Except for a small number of Saints diehards who bought Southampton to win with a 2-goal handicap, all other betting orders were won by the bookmakers!

After scoring the goal, the Arsenal team celebrated happily.

Van Persie also ran along the field excitedly!

Scoring two goals in five minutes showed Van Persie's ambition! This comeback goal by Van Persie was really wonderful.

Outside the penalty area, with both feet off the ground, he made a diving header...

These two goals by Van Persie are really awesome! To be honest, this goal can definitely compete for the Puskas Award for the best goal of the year!

Gu Ran deeply felt what a world-class striker was.

After falling behind this time, Southampton didn't have much time left.

Southampton's morale quickly dropped.

Although Southampton is much worse than Arsenal in terms of strength, it is already an amazing achievement that they can play against Arsenal, a regular in the Champions League, and force Arsenal to send all their main players, and only lag behind Arsenal by 1 goal at the end of the game. However, Southampton has seen the hope of winning against Arsenal, and the hope lost and regained has bred a stronger sense of despair! Southampton had at least 2 chances to score, but it was a pity... What a pity.

The difference in strength is indeed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Gu Ran stood up decisively, applauded his teammates who looked desperate, and shouted loudly: "Don't be scared! We still have time! The Saints are moving forward!"

Southampton's teammates were slightly encouraged, but there was still no sign of morale being boosted.

Gu Ran turned around and shouted to the Southampton fans in the north stand: "The Saints are moving forward!"

Infected by Gu Ran's passion of "never give up", the Southampton fans who had already given up hope immediately straightened their chests, stood up, and sang the team song "The Saints March On" in unison! With the fans' desperate roar and support, the Southampton players immediately rekindled their morale!

Coach Adkins on the sidelines also roared, "That's right! That's it! Kick it back! Pressure them from the high position! Hang them! The Saints will never be afraid!"

Coach Wenger next to him couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Gu Ran with extremely eager eyes.

He can run, charge, pass, penetrate, pass the ball, and shoot from long range. Moreover, he can stand up and encourage his teammates when the team is about to collapse after being scored consecutively... It's awesome!!!

More money! More money! I want more money! With the majestic and uniform team song, the Southampton players quickly took their positions.

Gu Ran directly switched positions with Dixon, letting Dixon stand at the left back position and himself standing in the midfield position.

At the same time, Gu Ran added all the remaining two talent points to the burst attribute.

The physical attributes are enough to last until the end of the game, so improving the burst sprint is the best option at the moment.

Gu Ran's burst attribute also increased from 79 points to 81 points! ——Let's go for it! Now, the Arsenal team, which was leading by one goal, was not in a hurry.

Coach Wenger replaced goalkeeper Szczesny with main goalkeeper Fabianski.

Szczesny's performance was still good, even though he conceded two goals, but that really can't be blamed on him. In that situation, even the main goalkeeper Fabianski couldn't stop it.

The game starts again.

Lallana kicked off and knocked the ball directly back to Gu Ran in the defensive midfielder position.

After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately dribbled forward.

Lambert and Schneiderlin supported Gu Ran on both sides.

Wilshere, Ramsey and Fabregas came up again to double-team Gu Ran.

Up to now, Arsenal has clearly understood that Gu Ran is the core of the Southampton team. Restricting Gu Ran is equivalent to strangling Southampton's neck.

Gu Ran did not speed up, nor did he get too physically entangled with Wilshere and others. Instead, he moved slightly to the left, saw the gap between three people, and immediately passed the ball to Schneiderlin who was supporting on the right.

Schneiderlin was blocked by Arshavin in his penetration channel and could only half turn to protect the ball.

Gu Ran continued to sprint without the ball, inserted himself between Wilshere and Ramsey, and ran towards the middle! Wilshere and Ramsey didn't expect Gu Ran to start suddenly, and they were half a beat late when they wanted to intercept! Gu Ran got half a body position, and Schneiderlin immediately made a short pass!

Gu Ran did not stop the ball, but touched it with one foot and passed it to Lallana who was retreating to receive it! A short and smooth triangle attack was formed between the three of them.

This cooperation also has a bit of Arsenal's passing and cutting feeling!

Arsenal immediately formed a chain defense against Lallana. Lallana tried to break through with the ball but was unable to force a breakthrough. He could only half turn around and knock the ball back to the left rib.

Lallana knew without looking at Gu Ran's position that the left rib was Gu Ran's favorite position and Gu Ran would never miss it.

Sure enough, Gu Ran had a telepathic idea. He broke away from the defense of Wilshere and others before Lallana passed the ball, and sprinted violently to the unmanned area on the left rib and easily got the ball.

The passing and cutting cooperation between the two was very pleasing to the eye! Who would have thought that Southampton could play such a smooth cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt under Arsenal's full pressure?

Ramsey tried his best to cut across to intercept, but Gu Ran made a beautiful move with Matthews' shoulder, and directly knocked Ramsey to the ground! Before Wilshere could catch up, Gu Ran dribbled the ball along the left rib!

Fabregas did predict Gu Ran's movement, but Gu Ran was too fast, so Fabregas could only chase him from the side and back! Fabregas's movement awareness and speed without the ball were world-class!

Gu Ran’s sprint speed is very fast, but it is almost impossible to leave behind the world-class Fabregas in a short time and distance.

Gu Ran accelerated and rushed inwards, then suddenly stopped and hooked the ball back - Cruyff turned around! The shock on Fabregas' face was visible to the naked eye!

Fabregas couldn't imagine that a grassroots Chinese player could actually use the Cruyff turn to dribble past him right in front of him!

Fortunately, Fabregas's reaction was also world-class. Fabregas also stopped immediately and turned to defend! After Cruyff turned, Gu Ran turned again and hooked the ball in the direction of the cut!

Fabregas took two Cruyff turns!

Fabregas subconsciously followed with his body, but his center of gravity was completely out of control after being pulled twice!

The next moment, the world-class Fabregas was knocked to the ground by Gu Ran! "wooooooooooooow!"

The whole stadium exclaimed! Who would have thought that Fabregas, who had just won the World Cup, would be crossed by a grassroots player who was rumored to be a tabloid scandal!

Light~ Fabregas dropped a green special talent point bubble! Gu Ran had no time to take care of it, and didn't even concentrate his mind to pick it up. He directly turned on his speed skill and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

At this time, Wilshere had already come up to intercept.

Lallana and Connolly have also penetrated to the edge of the small penalty area.

Vermaelen also came up to block Gu Ran's path to cut inside and shoot.

There is no channel for shooting this ball, and protecting the ball is not Gu Ran's strong point. If he takes two steps forward, he will most likely be double-teamed and the ball will be intercepted.

Gu Ran raised his head and glanced in the direction of Lallana - Koscielny quickly stuck to Lallana, while Lallana desperately ran to find an opening.

Gu Ran decisively kicked the ball to Connolly who was lying in ambush on the other side of the penalty area! This ball was extremely fast, and it directly penetrated Arsenal's dense defense line, passed through the narrow gap between Wilshere and Sagna, and rolled to the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area! This ball was not directly stuffed to Connolly's feet, and Connolly needed to run from the back row, and it had to be extremely fast! Connolly's sense of smell in front of the goal was also very sensitive. Connolly directly shook off the player who was marking him, and slid and shot towards the flying football! Gu Ran's straight pass in front of the goal and Connolly's sliding shovel shot were almost seamless!

The goalkeeper Fabianski, who had just come on, reacted extremely quickly and made a beautiful diving save!

But it was still a little too late! The ball went through Fabianski's armpit and into the goal!

The ball...goes in!!! (End of this chapter)
