The fourth official raised a sign, indicating that four minutes of extra time would be added to the second half.

This means that this knockout match will end in less than 8 minutes.

If the score remains frozen, Southampton will be eliminated in the third round of the League Cup.

If Southampton wants to win, they must not concede a goal within 8 minutes and score two goals in a row.

This is obviously too difficult. Facing Sheffield United, which is known for its defense, no one thinks Southampton can do it.

In the live broadcast room, various comments quickly scrolled: "Damn, we are going to lose this game."

"I saw Sheffield United lose to Southampton at home and Manchester United win against Wigan Athletic at home with 2 goals to spare! It's all over now!"

"It's normal to lose. Sheffield United is not a weak team, and the referee is there to take care of us."

"Damn, the referees in England are not much better than those in China!"

"Gu Ran is already very good. Sheffield United treats Gu Ran like an ancestor. This is simply the treatment given to Messi and Ronaldo!"

"Alas, although what everyone said makes sense, although I also know that there is no team that never loses, although I know that even Maradona and Pele will lose, but... it still hurts. Those useless forwards of Southampton have wasted too many of Gu Ran's organization and passes!"

"Yes, yes! If Gu Ran went to a wealthy club and partnered with stars like Drogba, Rooney, Torres, and Van Persie, he would have crushed everything!"

"Oh, I really want to see Gu Ran go to a wealthy team and wreak havoc! It's too hard to win against a strong opponent in a small team!"

"I think that although it is strenuous, Gu Ran is still young. If he trains in this kind of melting pot competition and grows up, it will definitely be much better than playing a supporting role in the top league right from the start."

"That's true..."

"That's right. Gu Ran is currently leveling up. It doesn't matter if we lose this game. Everyone has seen that this is not Gu Ran's problem. It's the overall strength of the Southampton team that is still a little lacking."

At this time, "Maxim's Noodle Ball" with the gold V certification nameplate spoke: "Don't worry, the game is not over yet. You have to believe in Gu Ran's ability to create miracles. Isn't the reason why football is so interesting that it won't cool down until the last moment?"

"Boss Xiaomianqiu is right!"

"Believe in Gu Ran! He will definitely be able to create a miracle!"

"It would be awesome if Gu Ran could equalize the game!"

"Gu Ran! Come on!!!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became high again, and all kinds of gifts and rewards were flooding the screen.

At the same time, in the scout area of ​​the main stand, Emenalo, Edwards and Pratt, the three big guys, sat steadily with a slight smile on their faces.

"This game is quite interesting. It finally feels like a strong team playing against a strong team."

"Yeah, I thought the game would be boring since both teams were defensive counter-attacking teams, but I didn't expect it to be a goal-scoring battle."

"Although there are less than 8 minutes left, if Sheffield United relaxes at this time, they will be destroyed by Gu Ran."

"Who said it wasn't true? Gu Ran still seems to have plenty of energy, but Sheffield United's entire defense line is about to be broken by Gu Ran's dog-walking style."

"Well, even though Sheffield United is leading now, it's hard to say what the outcome will be."

"That goal Sheffield United scored just now was a steal. The next game will be the most exciting."

"I can't wait to see Gu Ran's signature goal-scoring move."

"Hahaha, me too!"

——The game continues! Southampton kicked off, and Jarrod knocked the ball directly back to Gu Ran behind him.

After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately broke into a violent and aesthetic sprint, activating all his burst-related skills!

At this moment, Gu Ran turned into a black lightning and rushed straight into the Sheffield United half.

Sheffield United's defense immediately took action, quickly surrounding and strangling Gu Ran!

They had always defended Gu Ran in this way before, but this time it was very different!

This time, they have become lax in their mentality, and their physical strength has reached its limit. The seemingly tight defense line actually has large gaps and loopholes!

Gu Ran first used his body to fend off two defensive players who were charging head-on, then he crossed to the left with the ball, and Chamberlain took advantage of the situation to speed up and cross the ball! Sheffield United's defense quickly moved to the left to double-team!

Those Sheffield United players who moved to the left side to defend and intercept were paralyzed on the spot!

Gu Ran's mobilization and involvement in the attacking midfielder position has reached a superb level!

The right side is empty! Schneiderlin quickly inserted! After getting the ball, he cut inside! Sheffield United's Joe Martock and Shane Lowry immediately closed the door to defend Schneiderlin.

Schneiderlin did not rush to break through, but turned and retreated with the ball, attracting Joe Martock and Shane Lowry to chase him.

Sheffield United's center is empty!

Lambert quickly responded!

Schneiderlin immediately passed the ball to Lambert! Sheffield United's defense was instantly panicked!

At this position, Lambert could have kicked the ball! Of the six Sheffield United players who were originally defending Gu Ran, at least four of them rushed towards Lambert regardless of everything!

Lambert flicked his toes and then flicked the ball to the empty space on the left side of the penalty area! At the same time as Lambert flicked his toes, Gu Ran, who was only guarded by two people, suddenly started violently and went straight to the empty space on the left side of the penalty area! "Gu! Gu! Gu! Gu!" Mickey Adams, who was standing in the technical area of ​​the home team on the sidelines, reminded his players at the top of his lungs.

Richard Cresswell and Nick Montgomery were hanging on both sides of Gu Ran's body!

Last time, they just pulled Gu Ran's arms left and right, this time, they turned into pendants with a total tonnage of more than 150 kilograms! And the referee still didn't react at all, and didn't even look at Gu Ran! The Saints fans at the scene waved their fists and cheered wildly!

The fans of the Blade Corps were all very proud and mocking! Gu Ran held his breath and continued to rush forward with the two pendants!

Under the sprinting force of Gu Ran's violent aesthetics, Claysville and Montgomery were pushed several meters by Gu Ran!

Super fierce! Super savage!!! The passion of the Saints fans suddenly exploded to the extreme! The three stands of the entire Bramall Lane Stadium were shocked into silence, except for the north stand where the Saints fans were, where the howling was incessant! Clayswell and Montgomery were dumbfounded!

Can't stop him! He can't stop him at all! Gu Ran is like an angry bull! And it's a monster of Greek mythology, the Cretan bull! Sheffield United's captain Charles Morgan and Michael Doyle, who dared to chase the referee, rushed to Gu Ran at the same time and blocked Gu Ran.

It can be said that Sheffield United tried their best to stop Gu Ran!

In the final moments of the game, they would rather commit a foul, they would rather be sent off with a red card, they would rather give Southampton a penalty kick, they can't let Gu Ran touch the ball in the penalty area! If they give a penalty kick, there is still a chance to save it, but if they let Gu Ran shoot, then there is really no chance! At this moment, Gu Ran suddenly faced the flying football and took off into the air——

Cresswell and Montgomery, who were hanging on Gu Ran, immediately lost their balance and were knocked to the ground by Gu Ran. Morgan and Doyle, who were rushing up to foul Gu Ran, slowed down quickly, not daring to put their faces on Gu Ran's shoe spikes! Gu Ran's jumping height was affected, and his strength was also affected, but Gu Ran raised his foot at the right time!

Gu Ran's legs did a scissors kick in the air and he did a bicycle kick between four defensive players!

Everyone at the scene held their breath.

Goalkeeper Richard Wright took a step forward and leapt to the left side of the goal.

but!

This overhead kick was not a shot!!! In this short time, Gu Ran's scissor kick was extremely fast and very confusing! It looked like he was using his right foot to hook the ball to the left side of the goal, but in fact, he was just using his left foot to kick the ball to the right side of the goal!

The right side of the goal is a weak area!

Garrod, who was not guarded, rushed in from the back row and jumped high! Facing the empty goal, Garrod gently rubbed his forehead...

Got it!!!

The football is shot into the net!

This is an unparalleled wonderful combination!

Gu Ran played the role of the attacking midfielder to the fullest!!! The referee blew the whistle and gestured to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid! The game was in the final moments. In the 88th minute, less than 3 minutes after Sheffield United had just reversed the lead for the second time, Southampton scored the equalizer with an extremely domineering advance and extremely wonderful penetration cooperation! The entire north stand went crazy! All the Saints fans were roaring crazily, waving their flags and No. 8 jerseys! The platform of the north stand was shaking up and down like stretched noodles, as if it would collapse in the next moment! However, the crazy Saints fans didn't care whether it would collapse or not!

The surprise at this moment belongs to Southampton! This tenacious spirit of fighting to the death makes every Saints fan's blood boil, and adrenaline and dopamine explode at the same time! After finally scoring a goal, Jarod excitedly slid to his knees in front of Gu Ran and hugged Gu Ran's thighs tightly!

Then, Lambert slid down happily and hugged Gu Ran's other thigh! Then, Chamberlain also slid down excitedly and hugged... Gu Ran's butt!

This goal is crucial for Southampton! 4:4 tie!

Including injury time, there are still 5 minutes left in the game!

Southampton still has hope of eliminating Sheffield United! Sheffield United watched the goddess of victory flirt with them, with her shoulder straps slipping down to her armpits. Just when they were about to see the exciting part, Gu Ran grabbed the goddess of victory by the chest and forcibly took her away from them!!! How could this be described in one word??? !!!
