On the green field, Gu Ran dribbled the ball quickly along the left side, and in almost the blink of an eye he rushed to the 40-meter area near Portsmouth's half.

Portsmouth's defenders rushed back to intercept.

Fortunately, they had already returned to their own half of the court to defend in this wave, otherwise, with Gu Ran's speed, their defense line would have been torn to pieces.

Right back Jonathan Hogg was the first to step up to block Gu Ran from going to the bottom, while midfielders Michael Brown and Harden Mullins came over from the middle area to assist in defense.

The Portsmouth team formed a rapid and aggressive triangle double-team against Gu Ran.

Gu Ran's bottom and inner space are rapidly becoming narrower and smaller.

In this situation, all Portsmouth players thought that Gu Ran would slow down, pass the ball across the middle or knock it back, and then continue to run without the ball.

However, Gu Ran had no intention of stopping, and continued to sprint towards Jonathan Hogg in front of him with a violent aesthetic! He just dribbled the ball and went for it!

Jonathan Hoggard was suddenly frightened:

Is the Chinese guy on the other side crazy? Why is he playing in a completely unconventional way?

With this speed and this impact force, if they collided, even if neither of them was seriously injured, they would have to go off the field for treatment!

Jonathan Hogg's heart was half empty, and his speed also slowed down. His body muscles were tensed to the extreme, and his knees were bent and his center of gravity was lowered, ready to meet Gu Ran's head-on collision! Southampton fans were all sweating for Gu Ran, and their spirits were tense to the extreme! Seeing that the two were about to collide, Gu Ran suddenly jumped up and spun when he was one meter away from Jonathan Hogg!

Marseille turn!

Super high-speed Marseille turn!

The football was dribbled at high speed, and it was spun along with Gu Ran's 360-degree turn! "Woooow!"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim in amazement! This set of moves is so beautiful!

The Marseille turn is usually slow and elegant, but Gu Ran can combine it with the Marseille turn while sprinting! A 360-degree Marseille turn while running at high speed... This skill was also performed by the great Gareth Bale!

The difference is that Gu Ran's high-speed Marseille turn is more powerful! Jonathan Hogg was ready for a physical collision, but Gu Ran turned into a rotating lightning and cut directly inside him!

Jonathan Hogg was stunned! Southampton fans were all excited! The previous nervous emotions were released instantly, and then the adrenaline exploded!

Portsmouth's central defender Ricardo Rocha quickly made up for the interception! Michael Brown and Haden Mullins also chased after him, and Jonathan Hogg, who had been stuck for 3 seconds, also hurried back to chase!

The entire Portsmouth defense line was in a panic! Almost all the defensive forces were moving towards the left side of the penalty area!

Seeing that he was trapped in a new encirclement, Gu Ran turned half-way to the left and quickly passed the ball to Lallana who had already run to the left end line! At this time, Lallana was unattended and there was space around him, so he had enough time to force a breakthrough and pass the ball.

After getting the ball, Lallana immediately dribbled along the end line towards the goal, as if he was going to rush into the small penalty area and shoot at a small angle.

Jonathan Hogg and others hurriedly turned back to block Lallana's space.

Portsmouth's encirclement of Gu Ran immediately collapsed!

Gu Ran took the opportunity to penetrate the middle of the penalty area! Lallana was so lucky that he made a diagonal pass to the middle of the penalty area! This wave of cooperation was quite beautiful! There was obviously no communication between Lallana and Gu Ran, and they didn't even look at each other, but both of them had a very wide field of vision, and their interlaced movements were also very clever and varied. With just this one frontcourt cooperation, the fierce defense line of the Portsmouth team was played around! The penalty area of ​​​​Portsmouth was like a stocking, and under the pull of the two, a huge hole was torn open!

Gu Ran didn't hesitate and went straight in! All the Southampton fans were excited! This was their favorite scene! 10 vs 11, Southampton was not afraid at all!!! Gu Ran was about to receive Lallana's cross, at this critical moment, Portsmouth's captain Aaron Mokoina stepped forward and quickly approached Gu Ran!

When other defensive players were obviously out of position and had no time to return to intercept, Aaron Mokoina was the last gate! Although Aaron Mokoina had a kidney injury, it did not affect his fighting spirit!

The captain of the South African national team, "Mbazo Axe", is not just a name! Facing Lallana's lob pass, Aaron Mokoina, who has rich defensive experience, did not need to jump up to compete for the header. He only needed to stay in position and knock Gu Ran away, so that Gu Ran would be trapped in a wrestling confrontation and could not get the ball to pass or shoot.

Portsmouth had the upper hand in terms of manpower in the penalty area, and another player, Guli, who had rushed into the penalty area, had been closely pressed by other Portsmouth players. So as long as Gu Ran couldn't hold the ball, the ball would definitely be picked up by Portsmouth players, who would then launch a fatal counterattack.

The next moment, Aaron Mokoina, the captain of the South African national team who had extensive experience in international competitions, was forcibly pushed against by Gu Ran!

However, Gu Ran did not jump, but squeezed forward with all his strength!

Aaron Mokoina grimaced and broke out in a cold sweat! With his physical strength, it would have been no problem for him to fight Gu Ran if he had secured the position first. However, Aaron Mokoina had a back injury, and his core strength was greatly reduced and he couldn't use it!

But Gu Ran was not polite at all and continued to push hard!

I will kill you when you are sick! I don’t care if you are the captain of the South African national team! I don’t care if you are Mbasso or Mbappe! I will do my best to respect you!

Aaron Mokoina was an experienced veteran after all. Seeing that he was not strong enough to hold Gu Ran, he immediately grabbed Gu Ran's arm with his backhand to prevent Gu Ran from jumping or moving! In this way, it would be difficult for Gu Ran to catch Lallana's cross!

In a very short period of time, the two sides confronted each other with full details!

The football was about to slide over their heads.

Gu Ran suddenly turned his back to the goal and kicked the ball backwards!

Sideways stop +3! Back pass +1! Super pass and shot: One-touch pass +1! Volley: Scissor kick and falling leaf +1!

All skills activated!

Gu Ran took advantage of Aaron Mokoina's pull, his body hung upside down in the air, his feet did a scissors kick in the air, his right foot accurately touched the football, and he hooked the ball!

This ball was about 15 meters away from the goal!

The football was so powerful that it hit the far corner of the goal like an electromagnetic cannonball! Portsmouth goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown was stunned!

He never expected that Gu Ran would directly hook the ball into the goal in such a situation!

You know, the one defending Gu Ran closely is the captain of the South African national team, Mbazo Axe Aaron Mokoina! This is really disrespectful! This hook shot was too sudden and too violent, there is no solution at all!

Under the breathless gaze of the crowd, the football went straight into the goal without any surprise! The ball...went in!!! It was a stunning overhead kick!

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the goal was valid!

"yeah!!!"

Southampton fans were jumping and cheering in the stands excitedly! The entire Fratton Park stadium was almost overturned by the roar of Southampton fans!

Many Saints fans were crying and shouting with joy! They shouted "Chinese Dad" loudly! This ball was so wonderful! It was so inspiring! So what if Chamberlain was sent off? So what if there was one less player? So what if we were playing away? So what if the referee was obviously biased towards Portsmouth!

Gu Ran is worth two! As long as Gu Ran is there, Southampton can still beat Portsmouth!

The Portsmouth fans behind the goal were all stunned, their faces full of pain.

More than 17,000 people were silent, and everyone was swallowing the bitter fruit in secret.

At home, with one of their opponents sent off, they were scored by their arch-rivals first...

It wouldn't have been too painful if they were only leading by one goal, but Gu Ran's overhead kick was so beautiful and shocking.

This was a devastating blow to the Pompey Army, which was originally full of confidence and arrogant! Such a wonderful goal would definitely be made into a highlight reel, which would be played repeatedly not only in the Southampton media, but also in the whole of the UK, and the entire Portsmouth team would become the background board for Gu Ran's overhead kick.

Shame! Shame!

It was such a shame to be scored a wonderful goal by a mortal enemy! Some extreme fans of the Fratton Brotherhood began to throw bottles and coins into the stadium! More extreme fans cursed at Gu Ran, raised their middle fingers and pulled his eyes, trying to disturb Gu Ran's mentality.

The security guards at the scene were afraid that the situation would get out of hand and they would be fined and demoted, so they rushed out to maintain order.

Gu Ran didn't care about the incompetent rage of these losers at all! Gu Ran excitedly got up from the grass, slashed the wind with one palm, and stacked buffs towards the fans of the Fratton Brotherhood in the west stand to celebrate!

Gu Ran jumped directly onto the fence at the side of the field, roaring domineeringly and pounding his chest!

That's right! I'm celebrating right in your face! It's so fucking satisfying to mock you up close and personal! The other Southampton players on the field also followed Gu Ran to the Fratton end stand and celebrated wantonly!

Everyone in Southampton was unreservedly enjoying themselves to the fullest!

The fans of the Fratton Brotherhood were completely defeated! They were throwing debris and fireworks into the stadium crazily! The security was almost out of control, and the police with guns and live ammunition came to support them, constantly pinning the troublemakers of the Fratton Brotherhood to the ground, handcuffing them and taking them away.

Almost half of the members of the Flaton Brotherhood were arrested and taken away!

The revenge for the football hooligans who threw coins at the bus and urinated on it was finally paid! In front of Gu Ran, all kinds of white and blue bubbles were falling from the stands within a range of 20 meters! Since his rebirth, Gu Ran had never seen such a spectacular scene of falling bubbles!

As you can imagine, all the fans of the Fratton Brotherhood hated him!

Gu Ran didn't even look at the bubbles and simply ignored them all.

——It’s all rubbish! Southampton fans have never been so happy, never been so gloating!

Being able to make the enemy so unhappy is really the happiest thing in life! The song "The Saints March On" ignited, and the fans in the stadium and the fans outside who couldn't buy tickets sang loudly together! Fratton Park seemed to have been occupied by Southampton! The players of the Portsmouth team were also depressed at this time, and various bubbles were generated under their feet.

The most conspicuous one is Aaron Mokoina.

Aaron Mokoina had a gloomy face and his whole body was glowing green.

Gu Ran turned around and returned to the field. He concentrated his mind and picked up Aaron Mokoina's green special bubble through the air, and also checked the other blue skill bubbles.

In the technical area on the sidelines, Coach Adkins cheered happily, while Portsmouth head coach Pete Reid held his head in horror, taking a deep breath and shaking his head.

A 17-year-old left-back actually broke through the encirclement by passing the ball and running, and then kicked a stunning overhead kick against his team's strongest central defender...

How can this be called a full-back? This is a striker behind the ball! Can a defender kick a hook with a defender? Even a striker may not be able to do that! It would be fine if you were a striker behind the ball, you could just be behind the midfield line, but you actually went behind the back line, locking down our Kanu and scoring a goal at the same time, this, this, this...

At this moment, in the live broadcast room, the barrage was overwhelming:

“Oh my god! Overhead kick! Gu Ran is so awesome!”

"So damn handsome! So damn cool!"

"This shot is definitely of Premier League standard!"

"The key is that this ball was shot right on Aaron's face! There was a close-up shot of Aaron's face just now, and his entire black face turned white!"

"Hahaha! It's so enjoyable! It's worth it for me to stay up late to watch the game!"

"This is fucking football!"

"This goal was so brilliant that it's definitely worthy of being voted the best goal of the year!"

"Yes, if the distance was a little further, it could even be shortlisted for the Puskas Award!"

"I finally saw foreigners calling China daddy! Hahahaha!"

"Boss Xiaomianqiu is right. Gu Ran is really a person who can create miracles!"

"Hey, I yelled in the middle of the night and woke up the whole neighborhood! The property management lady came to my door just now! Ran Live, you have to compensate me, at least give me a piece of Gu Ran's autograph."

"Wouldn't it be good if the property management lady came to your house? Pull her into the house, lock the door... and then take her to watch Gu Ran play football. Soon, the property management lady will also scream with you."

"Where is the live broadcast of the property management lady? I want to watch it too."

"Fuck, you guys, are you really here to watch the game?"

The number of people online at Ran Live soared, directly breaking through the 200,000 mark, and the gift rewards also exceeded 100,000! At this time, the Portsmouth team began to make substitutions.

Aaron Mokoina, who had a waist injury, could no longer hold on. Even if he still had the fighting spirit, he was already an obvious loophole in the defense. If Gu Ran could penetrate it once, he might be able to penetrate it twice, three times, or more times.

Portsmouth head coach Peter Reid did not want to replace the captain and main central defender, but there was no other way.

Sometimes, no matter how well the tactics are planned, temporary situations on the field are unavoidable.

Aaron Mokoina took off the captain's armband on his arm, handed it to left-back No. 6 Hermann Hreidarsson, and then limped off the field.

His back looked extremely lonely.

It wasn't just because he left the field due to injury, nor was it just because Gu Ran hit him in the face with a shocking overhead kick just now.

Moreover, Aaron Mokoina realized for the first time that he was really old.

The era of their generation of stars is becoming a thing of the past.

Perhaps in another 10 years, few people will remember their names, and few people will remember their era.

Football is so ruthless and exciting.

Replacing Aaron Mokoina was Portsmouth's No. 2 Greg Halford.

Portsmouth fans stood up collectively, sang the "Pompeii Military Song" with a slightly tragic tone, and watched their old captain Aaron Mokoina leave the field.

With the singing of "Pompeii, Pompeii", the Portsmouth team regained their spirits.

After all, they were only one goal behind and Portsmouth were still playing with 11 against 10. There was really no reason for them not to win this duel between their arch-rivals.

In this wave, in addition to getting Aaron Mokoina's green bubble for free, Gu Ran also picked up two practical blue skills: Left-foot Dribbling +1.

+1 sense of smell in front of the door.

In this way, the reverse dribbling skill is stacked to +2, and the goal sense skill is stacked to +3.

The green talent points dropped by Aaron Mokoina belong to the physical attribute category and can only be used to add points to physical attributes.

While running back to his own half of the court, Gu Ran concentrated his mind and allocated this special talent point to the "Balance" sub-attribute.

——It’s still about making up for the shortcomings.

The balance sub-attribute also increased from 67 points to 68 points.

Today, there are 2 pickup opportunities left.

The game continues.

Portsmouth, who had conceded a goal first, launched a crazy attack.

Southampton had a one-goal lead but was not afraid and continued to confront Portsmouth head-on.

The two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in the side areas, and the collisions and fights between the two sides became more and more intense.

Fans of both teams were also roaring wildly, calling each other scabs.

The situation on the field became even more intense than 40 minutes ago! In the 41st minute of the game, Portsmouth took advantage of its midfield strength and made three consecutive passes and cuts to deliver the ball to the front of Southampton's penalty area.

Gu Ran sprinted over from the left wing to intercept the ball. Harden Mullins, who had the ball, had no time to wait for the center to run away, so he shot hastily.

The football went over the crossbar by about the height of a goal and flew to the top of the east stand.

Davis wanted to quickly kick the ball from the goal line, but Portsmouth's ball boy deliberately delayed time and did not pass the ball to Davis.

Southampton fans booed Portsmouth's ball boy, who was also tough enough to respond by giving the Southampton fans the middle finger.

Davis was furious. He pushed the caddy forward aggressively, knocked the caddy to the ground and snatched the football.

Portsmouth fans were madly cursing at Davis and throwing debris! Both sides were villains!

The referee quickly ran up and showed Davis a yellow card, and the chaos finally subsided.

The Portsmouth players took the opportunity to quickly return to defense.

Southampton missed a good opportunity for a quick counterattack.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Gu Ran sprinted on the left side with the ball, and with a beautiful Cruyff turn, he passed two players who were defending tightly, and went straight to the bottom, attracting the firepower of most of the defense line. Then he made an emergency stop and lowered his shoulders, creating a narrow passing channel in the dense defensive arc, and then used the magic lamp to guide the ball to the empty area near the penalty spot!

The whole set of moves was done in one go, like mercury pouring down the ground! Southampton fans were fascinated by the sight, and Portsmouth fans were jealous! After Gu Ran made a straight pass, Gu Li quickly inserted the ball! Greg Halford, the central defender who had just been substituted on the field, immediately harassed Gu Li's close defense with small moves! Under this foul-like defense, Gu Li barely took the ball with his back to the goal, turned around and shot——

Unfortunately, the pace of the shot was a little slow, and goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown predicted it in advance and took the ball into his arms.

"Wow!"

Southampton fans sighed in disappointment.

Gu Ran's performance on this ball was so beautiful and perfect, but Gu Li's finishing shot was a little short.

Most of the time, forward players have to hold off the opponent's defenders while passing and shooting, so their basic skills are extremely tested under physical pressure.

Goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown then threw the ball to Michael Brown with a powerful hand, and Portsmouth launched a quick counterattack! Gu Ran quickly turned around from the left and ran to intercept.

Son of the Wind, King of Highbury is in full swing!

Southampton fans cheered wildly!

What they saw was not only Gu Ran's amazing speed, but also his fierce fighting spirit!

Michael Brown turned his head subconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat! When goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown threw the ball, Gu Ran was at least twenty meters away from him, but in just three seconds, Gu Ran was already five or six meters away from him! Michael Brown ran desperately, his lungs were about to explode, but Gu Ran was not only not thrown away, but got closer and closer! Gu Ran's aura was full and full of oppression! Michael Brown was originally known for his ferocity in the Premier League, but under Gu Ran's violent aesthetic sprint pursuit, he didn't dare to confront Gu Ran head-on! Michael Brown stopped suddenly and knocked the ball back to his teammate on the right side -

Gu Ran did not slow down, but deliberately bumped into Michael Brown's shoulder, knocking Michael Brown over from the route to the fulcrum.

That's right! No chance at all!

At the same time, Schneiderlin on the right quickly intercepted and slid forward to shovel Michael Brown's hasty pass out of the sideline! In this wave, Southampton's defense was very exciting! The two wingbacks joined forces to dominate the whole game! The offensive and defensive transitions of both sides were so fast that it was suffocating.

Gu Ran went crazy on both offense and defense!

With Gu Ran, the 10-man Southampton team played like 11 players, and they played even better than 11 players.

Therefore, Southampton also has absolute confidence to fight against Portsmouth!

The atmosphere on the scene was exciting and the competition was extremely exciting!

At this time, the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines, indicating that the injury time in the first half was: 9 minutes!
