Beep, beep, beep!

With the final whistle of the referee, in the third knockout round of the English League Cup, the away team Southampton eliminated Sheffield United with a last-gasp goal and advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup!

The Southampton bench went crazy. All the substitute players and staff rushed into the field excitedly and lifted Gu Ran up to celebrate!

Southampton is also the first team to enter the fourth round as a League One team in this League Cup! This is an upset! Even William Hill's big data could not predict the upset result! If they can eliminate the next Premier League team in the fourth round, they can advance to the quarter-finals of the League Cup! Although there have been third-level league teams that have made it to the quarter-finals in history, they are very rare! In short, this victory is really inspiring! The Southampton Saints fans who came from afar are satisfied! Today's game was full of ups and downs, with a total of 9 goals! Almost every minute was wonderful! The emotions of the fans are also constantly impacting the high tide in the repeated tugs!

All Southampton fans were shouting the name of the Chinese father Gu Ran! Gu Ran and his teammates also gathered in the north stand to thank their fans for their company and encouragement.

Gu Ran took off his black visiting team jersey and, out of kindness, threw it to a naked female fan in the stands.

Seeing this, other female fans took off their skirts and pants and threw them at Gu Ran.

Some shameless male fans also took off their pants...

The broadcast screen in Ran’s live broadcast room suddenly stopped and turned black.

There was a burst of curses in the live broadcast room! In today's live broadcast, the total number of online users exceeded 250,000, and the gift rewards exceeded 300,000 yuan, setting a new record in the history of Ran Live.

In addition to the fact that Gu Ran's playing power is getting better and better, it is also related to the fact that the Heatfoot agency has begun to promote Gu Ran's personal image.

The character that Hotsitfoot created for Gu Ran is a serious one, so there must not be any bad scenes of Gu Ran throwing jerseys and underpants at each other with female fans.

Building a personal image is one of the most important tasks of an agency.

Of course, Gu Ran was originally a serious person.

After the thank you ceremony, Gu Ran asked Chamberlain for the game football.

In this game, Chamberlain also scored a goal, and it was his first header of the season. Chamberlain wanted to take the game ball back as a souvenir.

However, Gu Ran performed a hat trick, and the last winning goal was scored by Gu Ran using the "little pendulum" to get past the goalkeeper, which is definitely more meaningful than Chamberlain's goal.

So Chamberlain had no choice but to give up.

Only Gu Ran would ask for it. If it were someone else, Chamberlain would not give it to him.

Gu Ran didn't want the ball for commemoration, nor for selling it - although Gu Ran was a little short of money at the moment, he didn't want to sell the ball.

This ball is for the young pop diva Taylor Swift.

One ball may not be enough to win Taylor Swift, but you have to try. What if Taylor likes it very much and then... half-heartedly agrees? If you can win the future Grammy queen with one ball, it will be really cool - ugh! I am a serious person, this is definitely not my real idea!

Gu Ran carried the football into the player tunnel amid applause and cheers, and returned to the locker room for post-match physical therapy.

Head coach Adkins took captain Davis to the post-match press conference.

At the press conference, Sheffield United's interim head coach Mickey Adams warmly embraced coach Adkins and praised Gu Ran for his outstanding performance in the game.

When asked by a reporter whether Mitch Adams fulfilled his pre-match promise to restrict Gu Ran, Adams replied very calmly: "Of course, if you watched this game carefully, you will definitely agree that Sheffield United did restrict Gu Ran's performance. I know you will also ask why Sheffield United restricted Gu Ran, but Gu Ran was able to score 5 goals with 2 assists and 3 shots? That's because Gu Ran is a super star! He could have played 200% of his combat power, but we successfully restricted Gu Ran to 100% of his combat power. We successfully made Gu Ran only play the remaining 100% of his combat power."

The local journalists in Sheffield didn't know whether to boo or applaud...

But there is one thing they cannot deny - if Sheffield United had not restricted Gu Ran, the score of the game might have been more exaggerated, and the suspense would not have remained until the end.

While the press conference was going on, Gu Ran was lying in the physiotherapy room, receiving treatment with Gregory's fascia knife while concentrating his mind and calculating his growth value.

Today's game was full of confrontation, and the last goal was scored by passing the goalkeeper with a "small pendulum". Although the small pendulum was not obtained by asking the alien Ronaldo for help, and it cannot be considered an orthodox pendulum pass, it was already very exciting that Gu Ran was able to simulate it with continuous Matthews' shoulder drop and ball protection.

Therefore, Gu Ran estimated that the growth value of this game would definitely reach SS level.

Light~ As Gu Ran focused his mind, a familiar system prompt sounded in Gu Ran's mind: "Congratulations to the host. Since the host has perfectly integrated the results of more than 100 hours of special training in the English League Cup, the corresponding attributes have grown."

"Your physical attribute - Constitution, has increased from 83 points to 84 points."

"Your physical attribute - Balance, increases from 80 points to 81 points."

"Your technical attribute - out-of-bounds ball, has increased from 66 points to 67 points."

"Your skill attribute - Marking, has increased from 65 points to 66 points."

"Your spiritual attribute - teamwork, increased from 70 points to 71 points."

Sure enough! 5 growth attribute bonuses! Among them, the "marking" attribute of the technical category was revealed for the first time.

It seems that the technical foundation is still poor!

The remaining technical attributes that are not displayed are most likely around 65.

With such a technical foundation, it is good that he has the bonus of skills, otherwise he really won’t be able to hold his own.

Fortunately, we started in the English League One. If we went directly to the Premier League, even if we used all our physical and mental strength to hold on with our skills, we would not be able to hold on. Any technical mistake would bring disaster to the team.

Lights~ Just as Gu Ran was secretly sighing inwardly, another system prompt sounded:

Here it comes!

Gu Ran took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and started the lottery.

The lottery disc in my mind slowly started to spin.

Clay gods are useless, so let’s just worship the female Bodhisattva in the flesh.

Little Queen bless you...

Stop! The pointer of the lottery disc slowly stopped.

"Congratulations, host."

"The skill selected in this hidden lottery is: Chest Unbuttoning Technique."

"Your chest unbuttoning skill is increased from +1 to +3, effective immediately."

Holy shit…

Little Queen Goddess, is this how you bless me? I want to unbutton my breasts for no reason!

I always pick up girls who take the initiative. Do I need to do it myself? Besides, what skills are needed for this kind of thing? Can't I just flirt with them? What a rip-off! Little Queen, your nickname is really worthy of being called Taylor Swift! Oh, there is no other way. Just wash it.

Gu Ran had an idea.

The system prompt voice then asked: "Host will reallocate the skill of Chest Unbuttoning +3. Are you sure?"

Sure!

All of a sudden, Gu Ran felt that the thoughts in his mind were particularly clear: the chest unbuttoning technique +3 was upgraded to the enhanced chest unbuttoning technique +1.

There is a line of flashing system text below the newly advanced enhanced breast unbuttoning skill: You feel your tongue is more flexible and pliable.

Gu Ran: ...

Well, I was young and shallow...

Of the three talent points washed out, Gu Ran first allocated 1 point to "Golden Left Foot: Outstanding", raising the Golden Left Foot to +2.

This star skill is very practical. Improving this skill can activate the usage of many skills at the same time. You can even rely on your own basketball IQ to forcibly replicate star skills without getting them for free - such as the "small pendulum pass".

The basis of pendulum passing is to keep the left and right feet balanced.

Although Gu Ran has not seen the alien Ronaldo in person yet, with the addition of multiple attributes such as the golden left foot, Matthews' shoulder drop, and ball protection, he was able to replicate the little pendulum pass.

Although it is still far from a true pendulum move, it is good enough.

Gu Ran used the remaining two talent points to make up for the shortcomings in the technical attributes.

Gu Ran allocated these two talent points to the "ball protection" attribute, and the ball protection attribute immediately increased from 70 points to 72 points.

After the additional points were completed, the physical therapy also ended.

Ten minutes later, the Southampton team left Bramall Lane Stadium on a bus.

Coach Adkins briefly summarized the experience and lessons learned from today's game in the car, and emphasized on praising Gu Ran's outstanding performance in the game.

Praising Gu Ran has become something Coach Adkins must do in every game.

Basically, out of the 15-minute summary, 10 minutes were spent praising Gu Ran.

Gu Ran felt a little embarrassed himself.

After praising Gu, Coach Adkins announced that the team would have a day off on Wednesday and return to training on Thursday.

On Saturday, Southampton will return to Yorkshire to challenge another strong White Rose team in Yorkshire - the Terriers: Huddersfield Town.

Huddersfield Town is currently ranked 5th in League One with 15 points, only 3 points behind Southampton, which is ranked second.

Therefore, Saturday's game will definitely be another tough battle.

At that time, it will depend on whether the saint's teeth are more powerful or the Terrier's teeth are more powerful.

By the time Gu Ran drove back to the Dune Villa from the club, it was already past midnight.
