At the beginning of the game, Huddersfield Town passed the ball to their own left side, and the left wingback No. 20 Kevin Kilbane carried the ball forward.

Huddersfield's three central midfielders and two center forwards were sprinting frantically towards Southampton's center.

The Terrier fans at the scene howled wildly, cheering for their home team.

Southampton's defensive players immediately stepped forward and applied high pressure defense.

Kevin Kilbane dribbled the ball across half court but was blocked by right midfielder Jason Ponjong.

Jason Ponjon also started for the first time this season, so he cherished this opportunity to impress head coach Adkins.

But... Jason Pangqiong was not used to this kind of high-impact confrontation. As soon as he met Kilbani, he was violently knocked away.

Jason immediately chased after him, and Hammond also helped to make up for the interception in time.

Kilbane's sprinting speed was not enough, and he obviously couldn't outrun Jason and Hammond, but thanks to the collision just now, he still had space to pass the ball.

Kilbane did not stick to the ball. He waited for the right moment and made a long pass, passing the ball directly into Southampton's penalty area.

There was chaos in Southampton's penalty area! Huddersfield's first wave of attack came so fast, so fiercely, and with so many troops involved!

Southampton's defenders and midfielders all squeezed into the penalty area to defend, and there were collisions between Southampton's players.

Benic Afobi, the 17-year-old center forward on loan from Arsenal, jumped over Jaidi in the chaos and headed the ball -

Davis reacted very quickly, flying with both hands to block the ball out of the end line! Corner kick!

The Saints fans who came from afar were terrified!

The puppies in the kennel stand on the south side were all howling with excitement as if they had taken a bite of chicken blood.

Less than 20 seconds into the game, the mad dog-like Ha Town launched a mad dog-like offensive coordination.

The tradition of Hazhen is truly reflected vividly.

They never worry about the success rate of their shots. They just put all seven people, including the midfield and two wingbacks, on the field and shoot whenever they get a chance. If they miss, they still have a chance to get a corner kick or a free kick.

Corner kicks and free kicks are the important means of scoring for Haaland.

No. 11 Anthony Pilkington walked to the corner flag area with confidence to take the corner kick.

Huddersfield Town's 2-meter-tall high school defender Jamie McCombie also quietly ran to the edge of the penalty area, ready to make a sudden move.

Only captain Peter Clarke was left standing in Huddersfield's half.

I have to say, this kind of "rather die than not attack" spirit is really passionate and exciting.

Pilkington took a beautiful arc corner kick, and high school defender McCombie jumped high to meet the flying football.

As the corner kick came out, Gu Ran rushed to the middle of the penalty area, blocked McCombi's tall body, and jumped up to compete with McCombi for the header! Bang! The two people's heads hit each other heavily! Although Gu Ran was half a head shorter than McCombi, Gu Ran's bounce was stronger than McCombi's, and his body impact was also stronger! McCombi did not expect Gu Ran to be so fierce, and was knocked to the ground by Gu Ran without any preparation.

McCombie was knocked unconscious!

At the moment the two heads collided, the football bounced into the unmanned area on the left side of the penalty area.

The next second, Gu Ran climbed up from the grass and ran towards the center circle!

Chamberlain also accelerated at the same time, rushed to the unmanned area on the left side, and stopped the ball on the sideline.

The players in the midfield and frontcourt of Huddersfield immediately moved to the left side, trying to steal the ball.

Chamberlain wanted to dribble the ball along the left side, but Gu Ran raised his hand to ask for the ball while running.

If others want the ball, Chamberlain will definitely not give it to them, but if his father wants the ball, he must give it to him! Because there is a high probability that he will get assists!

Chamberlain took advantage of the fact that Hart's double-team had not yet formed and passed the ball directly to Gu Ran who had already sprinted to the center circle.

Southampton's defensive counterattack is coming! Huddersfield's mad dog kick is fast enough, and the Saints' defensive counterattack is also fast enough!

The change in the attack and defense rhythm of both sides made all the fans in the field feel scalp blasting! Gu Ran took the ball sideways and continued to accelerate, the son of wind, the king of Highbury was at full speed!

Saints fans waved their flags and No. 8 fans crazily, cheering for the God in their hearts!

Forward Barnard also sprinted, but Barnard's speed was obviously not as fast as Gu Ran! Gu Ran rushed across the center line in the blink of an eye, forming a two-on-one situation with Barnard! The little queen Taylor Swift in the VIP box was shaking with excitement, "Ahhh! This is the feeling! God! This is the feeling! Oh, my Gu! My dad! I want to resonate!"

Female assistant: ??? Taylor, have you already rewarded...yourself? At this time, the captain Peter Clark, who stayed in his own half, came towards Gu Ran to intercept.

He certainly didn't expect that he could steal the ball from the super star Gu Ran, but as long as he could hold Gu Ran back and force him to slow down and protect the ball, the other players from Ha Town would be able to get into position quickly.

But... ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Gu Ran kicked the ball directly, and then continued to sprint violently without the ball, using his body to force Clark! Before Clark could reach out to grab Gu Ran's arm, he was forcibly pushed away.

By the time Clark steadied his body and tried to grab Gu Ran, Gu Ran had already left him two steps behind and entered the penalty area!

Gu Ran dribbled the ball to the left, and Smithies then took a quick step and moved to the left, but still retained control of the far right corner.

I have to say that this response strategy is very targeted. Smithies has good basic skills as a goalkeeper and has indeed studied Gu Ran's shooting carefully.

Gu Ran's shooting angles were almost always within Smithies' control.

Behind Gu Ran, there was Clark's mad pursuit.

In this situation, once you slow down, Clark will quickly get close to you, but if you kick the ball in this situation, you may not be able to shoot the ball into the goal.

Comparing the two options, Gu Ran did not hesitate and slowed down directly!

Although slowing down will allow Clark to catch up and defend, it will also allow goalkeeper Smithies to get close, thus revealing the space on the right! Danger and opportunity coexist!

Sure enough, Smithies strode forward to block Gu Ran! Smithies lost control of the far corner of the goal!

Gu Ran immediately kicked the ball through the crotch, and the football stuck to the grass and instantly penetrated Smithies's stretched crotch! Smithies quickly clamped his legs together, but it was too late!

After the ball went through the crotch, it hit the right side of the small penalty area! This ball was not the goal. At the angle of the crotch, the ball could only be passed horizontally! Barnard, who was desperately chasing, fell to the ground and slid!

This ball is not offside! Barnard is just sliding into the empty goal——

The football hit the goal post and flew to... the south stand of the Doghouse.

Didn’t get in!!!

The Saints fans at the scene all cried out in unison! What a beautiful counterattack! Unfortunately, Bernard missed the ball!

The puppies of the Terrier Corps in Ha Town covered their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief!

Bernard, who missed the empty goal, lay on his back on the grass, covering his face, and didn't get up for a long time.

Firstly, it was so embarrassing, and secondly, this desperate sprint almost cost him half his life.

In the live broadcast room, the barrage was swiped wildly:

"Fuck!"

"With such a good opportunity, is this No. 9 Jarod going to take advantage of it?"

"Garrod is simply a master of rescuing people!"

"It must be that he hasn't played such a high-intensity game in a long time, and he can't keep up with Gu Ran's pace at all."

"Oh, such a good opportunity... I suddenly miss Lallana. With Lallana here, two against one with Gu Ran in the frontcourt, this ball will definitely go in!"

"Yes, if Southampton wants to keep Gu Ran, they should sign new players during the winter transfer window!"

“Although we didn’t score this time, it was really exciting to watch!”

"I've taken off my pants!"

"I just don't understand! Gu Ran obviously has such a strong ability to score goals, why does Adkins always let Gu Ran start as the left back! If Adkins had put Gu Ran in the attacking midfielder position earlier, he would have beaten the opponent into a sieve!"

"That's right! I don't understand it either! Adkins is really bad!"

"I can do that too!"

At this time, "Maxim Little Noodles" with the gold V certification said: "That's not the case. Coach Adkins is quite professional in terms of arranging the troops. First of all, everyone should understand that each team has its own tactical background. For example, Huddersfield's background is crazy attacking, while Southampton's background is defensive counterattack. A crazy attacking team will inevitably pile up the best players in the midfield and frontcourt, while a team that mainly relies on defensive counterattack will inevitably put the best players in the defender and defensive midfielder positions, because these are their core."

"Secondly, Gu Ran is already very famous. All the English League One teams are studying how to limit Gu Ran. If we put him in the attacking midfielder or forward position without waiting for the opponent to consume his energy, it will only leave Gu Ran with little room to play, thus affecting the performance of the entire Southampton team. On the contrary, if we put Gu Ran in the left back position first, it will be difficult for the opponent to rush to the front court to mark the defender. In this way, Gu Ran will have more room to move. The entire field from penalty area to penalty area is his attack range, and he has more breakthrough routes, which will make it difficult for the opponent to defend."

“Shit… So that’s how it is!”

"I understand! The core of defensive counterattack is not the front midfielder! It's the back midfielder!"

"Little Noodle Ball Boss explained it so well!"

“Well, this is called professionalism.”

"I think the little noodle ball guy should be the coach of our national team!"

"Our national team coach has no say in what he says! He has to be the team leader!"

"What the leader says doesn't count! We have to be... the leader!"

Maxim: "...Brothers, stop talking and send me directly to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
