The game had only been going on for 42 minutes, but the score was already 1:4! In such a short time interval, the score gap was so big that the mentality of the Huddersfield Town players was all broken by Gu Ran! Even their head coach Paul Stephenson covered his face in pain.
The goddess of victory took the initiative to hug Gu Ran's thighs, and the suspense of victory or defeat was gone!
William Hill Betting Company also hastily adjusted the on-site handicap odds. The original odds before the game were 2.62 for home team win, 3.21 for draw, and 2.65 for loss. Now the on-site handicap has become 12.85 for home team to win if handicap 3 goals, 6.31 for home team to draw if handicap 3 goals, and 1.17 for home team to lose if handicap 3 goals!
This means that if you give the home team Huddersfield Town +3 goals, the odds of winning are also extremely high at 12.85 times! High odds mean it is almost impossible! Because the bookmaker will not give you 1 to 12.85 times for nothing, this is a huge risk. Lottery fans want to make high profits, but the bookmaker wants to reap the principal! Not only is the on-site handicap increased, but the handicap for total goals greater than 7 goals is directly closed! The handicap odds for total goals greater than 9 goals quickly dropped from 20.57 to 1.84!
The betting companies thought that this would be a basically evenly matched game, and it was indeed the case from the beginning. In fact, Ha Town's statistics looked better. As a result... a conflict over "eggs" directly angered Gu Ran. Gu Ran ruthlessly raised his butcher knife and killed like crazy!
Fortunately, the online gambling companies have their own data models, and the speed of raising and lowering the prices is extremely fast, so the ones who will suffer in the end will definitely not be the online gambling companies, but only some greedy online gambling companies who are eager to turn the tables.
By shamelessly changing the odds and closing the market, the bookmakers can at most lose a few piculs of revenue.
At this moment, many Huddersfield fans had already left the stands of the Alfred Scarpin Stadium in anger!
And those Saints fans who were anxiously waiting outside the stadium happily bought refunded tickets at the original price and happily went into the stadium to see Gu Ran!
In the VIP box, the young queen Taylor Swift jumped and danced like a crazy fan, "Ahhh! Gu you are too good! I can't stand it anymore! I really want to... pee now!"
The female assistant hurriedly said, "Taylor! Go to the bathroom!"
Taylor shook his head and said, "I don't really need to pee, I just have that...feeling!"
The female assistant said anxiously: "Yes, you have to pee when you feel like it!"
Taylor rolled his eyes at the female assistant in annoyance. "We are not talking about the same level at all. What I'm saying is... forget it. You will never have that feeling in your life."
The female assistant looked bewildered and muttered quietly, "It's just the feeling of wanting to pee..."
The game continues!
The massacre continues!
The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines and announced that there would be five minutes of injury time in the first half.
After suffering four consecutive critical hits from Gu Ran, Huddersfield Town's attack became disorganized.
The players of Huddersfield were just kicking the ball blindly. When they were pressed, they immediately passed the ball to the backcourt and passed it back in their own backcourt.
They just wanted to end this hellish first half as soon as possible.
Southampton's defense was under no pressure, so Gu Ran directly switched positions with Chamberlain, moved to the left forward position, and actively pressed high.
In the 45th minute, Gu Ran used physical confrontation to force a throw-in within the 30-meter area in the front court.
Gu Ran took the penalty kick himself, and all the tall players of Southampton stood in the penalty area of Huddersfield Town.
Gu Ran sprinted violently, exerting force from his waist and abdomen, and the football was like a strategic grenade, accurately hitting the high-jumping young central defender Aaron Martin! Martin shook his head like a lion, and the football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
The ball went in! The score on the big screen changed to Huddersfield Town 1:5 Southampton! So simple! So smooth! So fluid! The Saints fans cheered and jumped like a wave!
Aaron Martin, who scored the goal, excitedly rushed to Gu Ran, slid to his knees and hugged his legs!!! He didn't perform well in the last game, but in this game, thanks to Gu Ran's passing, his post-match rating will definitely go up!
Huddersfield goalkeeper Ian Bennett stood there stunned.
During the tactics class before the game, he did not seriously watch Gu Ran's highlights...
He had never expected that he would be on the field, and he had never expected that Gu Ran's throw-in would go directly to the goal! He could have made it to the end of this season and held a decent retirement ceremony after his 40th birthday, but...
Less than 5 minutes after entering the game, two people were beaten! His reputation is ruined!
Ian Bennett wants to die!
The game continues!
The first half isn’t over yet!
The players of Huddersfield are all suffering in the frying pan of hell.
In the third minute of injury time, Joey Gudjohnsen got the ball and Gu Ran sprinted forward with violent aesthetics to press the ball.
Before Gu Ran could make close contact, Gudjohnsen felt his calf twitching and became stiff, unable to run or pass the ball.
This is an invisible and indescribable feeling of oppression!
Even a player as arrogant as Gudjohnsen was caused to have a stress reaction by Gu Ran!
Gudjohnsen’s mind is full of thickening!
Gu Ran came up and made a run and intercepted the ball, and the ball under Gudjohnsen's feet was easily passed to Lambert who was behind him.
Lambert went straight to the Huddersfield Town penalty area! The Huddersfield Town defenders were in a mess like a group of headless flies. They were not good at defense. When a crazy attacking team was beaten and collapsed, it was really a complete collapse! Lambert passed the ball to Gu Ran at the top of the arc. Gu Ran took the ball to the left to engage Huddersfield Town's defense.
Gu Ran saw the right moment, did a Marseille turn, turned his back and kicked the ball with his heel, and passed it through the crotch! This ball was so beautiful! Ha Town's defense was like a membrane! Gu Ran could easily penetrate it with any trick!
Lambert took a step forward and pushed the ball with his foot! The ball passed between Ian Bennett's legs and rolled into the net!
The ball went in again and again! The score on the big screen changed to Huddersfield Town 1:6 Southampton! Gu Ran made 2 assists and 4 shots, going completely crazy!
The total number of goals in the first half has reached 7! Half of the Terriers fans on the east and west stands left the stadium early!
The die-hard fans in the south stand had faces filled with pain. There was a little Huddersfield fan, about seven or eight years old, crying loudly in his father's arms - this match would cast a shadow over his life!
Gu Ran ate the child!
The Saints fans who came from afar shouted "Chinese dad" crazily! Football is like this! It is so exciting because of its cruelty!
At this time, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the first half of the game!
One by one, all the players of Huddersfield collapsed on the grass and were unwilling to get up for a long time.
The Southampton players applauded the Saints fans and walked into the player tunnel with pride!
After the 15-minute halftime break, Southampton players returned to the field with high morale.
After a short rest, the collapsed mentality of the players in Huddersfield eased a little, but the effect was not very obvious.
Huddersfield Town's tactical style relies on violent attacks, which take up time and squeeze out the opponent's offensive time. Huddersfield Town's starting players are basically all offensive players, but the problem they are facing now is that they can't attack at all, because as soon as they attack, Southampton will easily seize the opportunity to counterattack.
It can be said that the psychological shadow of Huddersfield's offensive players is very large.
Head coach Paul Stephenson has also realized this serious problem, so at the beginning of the second half, he changed the formation, adjusting the 352 formation to a 442 formation that is more conducive to defense.
With the score at 1:6, the suspense of winning or losing was gone, and Paul Stephenson just hoped that the team would not concede any more goals in the second half.
Otherwise, after the game, he might really be defeated by Dale Dog.
The Terrier is a small dog that specializes in biting things the size of a mouse...
After changing the formation, Huddersfield players defended with all their might. As soon as they got the ball, they would pass the ball back and forth in their own backcourt.
Such an operation did slow down Southampton's offensive rhythm, but it also caused Huddersfield's own fans to boo.
Huddersfield fans like to watch beautiful offensive football and passionate counterattacks. They find it hard to accept such negative scenes.
But the people playing on the field were not the fans, but the players of Hacheng who had psychological trauma and stress reactions caused by Gu Ran's behavior.
They don't want to be tortured by Gu Ran again.
The first 10 minutes of the second half were very dull. The intensity of the physical confrontation between the two sides increased, and the atmosphere became more tense. Gu Ran was repeatedly guarded and taken care of by the players of Ha Town. The game was interrupted from time to time, and the rhythm of the game was scattered.
But this defense did not stop Gu Ran's butcher knife.
In the 61st minute of the game, Gu Ran got the ball on the wing and made a wall pass with Chamberlain. He used his off-ball sprinting speed to overpower three Hartz players who were double-teaming him. After getting the ball again, Gu Ran cut diagonally into the middle, and without waiting for Hartz's defense to take shape, Gu Ran brought the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Gu Ran was very lethal in this position, so at least 8 players surrounded Gu Ran in the middle! The whole situation was like a world-famous painting! Gu Ran used his body to force a gap, then turned to the right and passed the ball. Under the full force of 8 people, he kicked the ball to the right side of the goal! Barnard, who was not marked, touched the ball before Connolly, who was not marked, and kicked it directly into the near corner! This time, Barnard did not miss the opportunity again!
Goalkeeper Ian Bennett made a late save! But his reaction was obviously a beat too late! The ball passed under Ian Bennett's armpit and flew into the net!
The ball goes in! 1:7!
Gu Ran completed an assist hat trick! Paul Stephenson, the head coach of Huddersfield Town, held his head in pain and waved his hands repeatedly to signal for substitutions.
Paul Stephenson used his second and third substitutions in succession.
Two young centers, Benic Afobi and Jordan Rhodes, who basically couldn't get the ball, were substituted out at the same time.
Replacing them were defensive midfielder No. 36 Matt Winston and defensive midfielder No. 14 Damian Jonathan.
These two players are typical aggressive defensive players.
The formation of Ha Town was also changed to a 460 formation without a striker.
A team whose core tactic was to attack violently was forced to resign.
Seeing that Huddersfield had used up their quota of substitutions and were preparing to defend and cause trouble, coach Adkins, who was sitting in the stands, immediately remotely controlled assistant coach Andy, and Southampton also began to make substitutions.
