"Ahhh! Gu Ran is too fierce! I told you! There's a reason why my butt has been hurting for three days!"

"This wave of goals is so exciting. I have never seen such exciting cooperation on the spot!"

"After I go back tonight, I will definitely use my throat and my most beautiful voice to reward Gu Ran for his brave, domineering, and extremely strong performance!"

Female assistant: ...I can’t help but say it!

After a brief celebration, Gu Ran quickly ran back to his own half.

The Southampton players also quickly followed Gu Ran to their positions, waiting for the restart.

The Saints fans in the north stand shouted "Chinese Dad" in unison! The Blades fans in the other three stands had not yet recovered from the shock of Gu Ran's hook pass.

There is not much time left and the game is tied again. Next, Sheffield United will definitely launch a crazy attack.

For Southampton, they must defend hard and withstand the attack of Sheffield United.

Only by maintaining a draw can we play overtime! After Sheffield United kicked off, Southampton immediately went forward and pressed high.

Gu Ran rushed left and right in the attacking midfielder position, greatly limiting Sheffield United's midfield connection.

Sheffield United's physical strength has reached the point of exhaustion, and Southampton is not much stronger either.

At this point, both sides were fighting on the strength of will.

Sheffield United drove the ball to Southampton's left side, hoping to rely on Lee Williamson, who had just come on, to make a quick attack on the wing.

Chamberlain was not polite at all. He reached out and grabbed Williamson's arm, and Williamson fell to the ground.

Chamberlain raised his hand first, signaling Williamson to dive!

The referee blew the whistle immediately, giving Chamberlain a yellow card! And awarded Sheffield United a free kick from an extremely remote position.

Chamberlain looked wronged!

If Gu Ran hadn't run over and locked his neck with his arms, he would have had a good argument with the referee.

Gu Ran also knew that the referee's penalty standards were extremely inconsistent, but when the game reached the most critical moment, no player on the field could be sent off because of a trivial matter.

If his teammates are not calm, Gu Ran will force them to be calm.

With Gu Ran's strong intervention, Chamberlain quickly calmed down.

Coach Adkins took the opportunity to request a substitution.

In the final moments of the game, especially when Sheffield United is launching a massive attack, using the last substitution is also an on-the-spot tactic.

Striker Gully is off the field, defender Fonte is on the field! Coach Adkins replaced a striker who did not perform well in this game with a defender to consolidate Southampton's defense.

Southampton's formation also changed to a 541 defensive formation.

But in fact, Dixon on the left and Fonte who just came on are both capable of playing as wing-backs.

Southampton's real formation is actually a temporary formation of 3 central defenders, 2 wingbacks, 1 defensive midfielder, 2 wing midfielders, 1 central midfielder and 1 forward.

Although this formation is not a conventional formation, it is very targeted against Sheffield United.

Lambert retreated to the defensive midfielder position, and Gu Ran moved to the central midfielder position.

Gu Ran has more space to run in the midfield and frontcourt. He not only has to play the organizational role of the attacking midfielder, but also the first line of defense as the central midfielder.

Sheffield United did not choose to make substitutions.

Sheffield United's interim head coach Mickey Adams is saving his last substitution for extra time.

Although Mitch Adams does not want to play overtime, as a coach, he must be prepared for it.

The game resumes.

Sheffield United quickly took a short tactical free kick and knocked the ball across to Nick Montgomery in the middle.

Montgomery immediately accelerated with the ball.

As a player who was substituted on not long ago, Montgomery has extremely abundant physical energy.

Lambert went forward to intercept Montgomery head-on, but was knocked away by Montgomery.

However, with Lambert's interception, Montgomery's advancement speed slowed down significantly.

Southampton's back line quickly doubled Montgomery.

Montgomery dribbled the ball towards the sideline, trying to create some space in Southampton's dense defense.

Lambert quickly chased back to make up for the position, and Gu Ran also burst out from the midfielder position to sprint back! Every Southampton player was running desperately!

Montgomery made an abrupt stop, created a gap between two defenders, and quickly cut inside with the ball! Lambert slid hard to block it! Seeing that he couldn't break through, Montgomery immediately picked the ball into the empty space in the penalty area! No. 9 forward Ched Evans rushed towards the football!

——Gu Ran ran over from 50 meters away! The intensity of the game was extremely high. Almost all the players were on the verge of cramps, but Gu Ran's physical strength seemed to be full! The Saints fans in the north stand went crazy again! Especially the female fans, all of them jumped wildly and shouted until their throats were hoarse! Gu Ran did not try to grab the ball, but used his body to hold Evans back, preventing Evans from touching the ball.

Defense does not necessarily require intercepting the ball. As long as you can prevent the opponent from touching the ball, you can still play a key role in clearing the ball.

Evans tried his best to push Gu Ran with his body. Gu Ran's thick thighs were firmly rooted on the grass, and his leg muscles were like taut cables in a storm. No matter how hard Evans pushed, Gu Ran remained motionless!

The football rolled quickly towards the end line without being touched by anyone!

The other Sheffield United players rushed up desperately to pick up the ball, but they were exhausted and couldn't catch up at all!

The ball is out of bounds!!!

The linesman raises the flag!

Southampton defended this deadly attack! The Saints fans in the north stand screamed excitedly. Although this was not a Southampton goal, this wonderful defense was even more exciting than the previous goal! The referee began to look at the watch - there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of injury time.

The players of Sheffield United were panting heavily, and two players even lay on the grass due to the heavy burden and couldn't get up for a long time.

Gu Ran, on the other hand, turned around and ran towards the center circle as if nothing had happened.

Davis understood what he meant and kicked the ball out of the goal!

Gu Ran immediately sprinted forward with a violent aesthetic! Yes, the game is not over yet!

The Southampton team, no, at least Gu Ran himself, will never accept overtime!

All the players of Sheffield United were dumbfounded!

This was their best sneak attack tactic, and now, Southampton used it on them! The players of Sheffield United struggled to chase and intercept Gu Ran, but their speed was so fast that they couldn't even serve as a background board under the blessing of Gu Ran, the son of the wind and the king of Highbury!

Gu Ran touched the ball in the center circle, and then kicked it forward! He received the ball in his own half, and was definitely not offside!

The Sheffield United defenders had just crossed the half court, but now they were left more than ten meters behind by Gu Ran! At this moment, no one could stop Gu Ran! Not even God! The Saints fans in the north stand jumped wildly, using all their strength to cheer for Gu Ran! At this moment, the fans' spirits were all replaced by Gu Ran's one-on-one sprint!

The Saints were full of passion! Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Ran dribbled the ball through the midfield and frontcourt areas without any defense, and went straight into the Sheffield United penalty area! Sheffield United goalkeeper Richard Wright left the goal and attacked!

When faced with a one-on-one chance, the goalkeeper's best option is not to stay on the goal line, but to expand the range of confrontation, delay, pressure or even prevent the opponent from shooting!

As the goalkeeper of the England national team, although he is a substitute goalkeeper, Wright's attacking ability is remarkable in the whole of England! Facing Wright's oppressive frontal attack, Gu Ran slowed down slightly and controlled the ball steadily! Wright saw the opportunity and sped up to pounce!

In this split second, Gu Ran first took a step forward with his left foot, while his center of gravity slightly moved to the left, but his left foot did not touch the ball. Then he quickly took a step forward with his right foot, but also did not touch the ball. He kept the ball within his body range with each step, and then did it again with his left foot! This was Matthews' shoulder sinking technique, combined with his ball protection ability, used three times in a row to accelerate in a small range!

Wright was stunned! His center of gravity was already unstable! Gu Ran used the tip of his right foot to gently push the ball to the right front! Wright fell to the left...empty goal!

Gu Ran bypassed the fallen Wright, faced the empty goal, and shot with his instep!

At this moment, alien Ronaldo landed at Bramall Lane Stadium!

The ball went into the net with a violent aesthetic! The net shook the goal, and the goal was buzzing! The ball went in!!! A lore! A lore!!! The entire north stand went crazy! More than 5,000 Saints fans at the scene roared with the momentum of 50,000 people! After scoring the goal, Gu Ran stretched out his arms and celebrated this lore goal in the same way Ronaldo spread his wings and soared!

This is also Gu Ran’s hat trick in this game!

The score on the big screen immediately changed to Sheffield United 4:5 Southampton! Gu Ran made 2 assists and 3 shots, creating 5 goals! The entire Bramall Lane Stadium was shocked by Gu Ran's final winning goal!

Even the three scouts in the main stand jumped up and cheered excitedly! "This is the alien Ronaldo's pendulum pass!"

"Too typical! Too typical! Continuous feints with left and right feet to shake off the goalkeeper and shoot into the empty net. This is Ronaldo!"

"Gu Ran's pendulum dribbling is obviously not mature yet and looks a bit immature, but... the opponent is just a Championship team, how can they withstand such a thing!"

"Gu from Liverpool is so amazing!"

"Bah! You shameless bastard! Gu is obviously our Chelsea!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. What's the point of you two big clubs arguing here over our Manchester City players?"

"Fuck!"

The three big guys were praising Gu Ran in unison just a second ago, but the next second they started cursing at each other.

Sheffield United was defeated! All the Sheffield United players were stunned and dejected!

I thought we were going to play overtime, but...

In front of everyone in the Sheffield United team, Gu Ran forcibly took possession of the goddess of victory!
