Everton Toffees fans were filled with horror!

Fellaini's confrontational toffee is very familiar to the fans! Fellaini took the initiative to hit Gu Ran, but was bounced back and fell to the ground! How could this Gu Ran be so strong? Liverpool fans clenched their fists in excitement - this is the player they want! Fast and fierce! Even a tough guy like Fellaini can be eaten alive!

Southampton fans were even more ecstatic!

They finally saw Gu Ran pressing across the half court! This was an obvious signal: Southampton was going to score! At this time, Everton's players quickly contracted their defense. No. 23 right back Seamus Coleman returned to defend Chamberlain who had already got the ball and was sprinting towards the baseline, while Arteta, Jagiuka and Heitinga formed a temporary triangle to reduce Gu Ran's breakthrough speed and space.

In fact, Chamberlain originally wanted to take the ball and cut inside, but after Gu Ran blocked Fellaini for him, he went straight in, so Chamberlain wisely went down the line and prepared to look for an opportunity to cross the ball.

Seeing that the encirclement of Arteta and his two companions was getting smaller and smaller, Gu Ran pushed Arteta away without any hesitation and stretched out his hand to ask Chamberlain for help.

Chamberlain faced Coleman's defense and made an emergency stop, and Coleman quickly followed suit.

But when Coleman stopped suddenly, Chamberlain quickly changed line and started, giving Coleman a rhythm deficit.

Taking advantage of this time difference, Chamberlain dodged a passing gap and easily passed the ball to Gu Ran near the top of the arc! This pass was still a little high.

Of course it is good during normal training and such mistakes will not occur, but in a competitive arena, it is impossible to achieve 100% accuracy, so it depends on the individual level of the player.

At this time, Fellaini had already run over to defend.

And Heitinga grabbed Gu Ran's jersey from behind.

Jagiuka used his body to block Gu Ran and competed with Gu Ran for the header.

Arteta vigilantly blocked Gu Ran's breakthrough direction after he stopped the ball.

It can be said that Gu Ran was surrounded by enemies. Even if he could stop the ball, it would be impossible for him to pass the ball or shoot.

From a tactical point of view, it was a bit of a waste for Gu Ran to ask for the ball at this time. It would be better to let Chamberlain cut inside, or wait for Lallana, Gourlay, and Connery to come up.

but……

Gu Ran was extremely calm and took the lead in the header from Jagiuka, and tapped the ball to his feet! Arteta, who had already calculated the landing point, immediately rushed up to grab the ball.

After Gu Ran landed, he hooked the ball to the other side of his body with his toes, making Arteta's waiting in vain! Arteta's head was buzzing! Then, Gu Ran made a seemingly ordinary step-down turn and knocked the ball from behind to the right side of the front court!

Jagiuka followed up and pressed, but happened to run into Fellaini who was running towards him!

Bang! Fellaini fell to the ground again! Jagiulka also fell to the ground again!

"Beauty Helen" Heitinga quickly stretched out his foot to intercept Gu Ran, but Gu Ran made a quick Marseille turn and passed Heitinga behind him!

In just 3 seconds, Gu Ran used a series of moves to knock Arteta, Jagieluka, Heitinga and Fellaini to the ground!

Everton's penalty area is wide open!

Just as Gu Ran was about to advance towards the top of the arc with the ball, Heitinga grabbed Gu Ran's neck with his arm from behind!

Gu Ran was immediately pulled to the ground!

Heitinga had to pass the ball to Gu Ran, not only because Gu Ran was about to shoot, but more importantly, Gu Ran was too "arrogant". The four Everton main players failed to control Gu Ran, allowing Gu Ran to shoot. Where would the four of them put their faces?

The referee immediately ran over and showed Heitinga a yellow card.

In addition, Southampton was awarded a free kick in a good position one meter outside the arc.

The Liverpool fans and Southampton fans at the scene were all screaming with excitement!

The 1v4 scene just now was so exciting and exciting! Now everyone finally understood why Gu Ran dared to ask Chamberlain to pass the ball despite the pressure of defense.

The strength is here, and the big-hearted mentality is here! What others can't do, Gu Ran can do!

Moreover, Gu Ran's football IQ had already been calculated. As long as he played tricks in front of Heitinga, Heitinga would definitely not be able to resist the temptation! Therefore, for this ball, he could shoot when he went forward, send a yellow gem card when he retreated, and also get a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt!

This time, Gu Ran also responded to Arteta's deliberate targeting of Chamberlain who received a yellow card!

In comparison, Chamberlain is just a winger, while Heitinga is a central incisive player!

If the winger holds back after receiving a card, at most he will miss the ball and there are full-backs behind him. If your center back holds back after receiving a card, the loophole in the defense line will be very dangerous! Not to mention the free kick in the frontcourt!

Therefore, even if this free kick didn't go in, Gu Ran had already won this duel between the kings of football intelligence! Amid the cheers of Southampton fans and Liverpool fans, Gu Ran took the lead and stood on the penalty spot.

The ball was in a good position, only about twenty-one or twenty-two meters away from the goal line.

For Gu Ran, who can kick a 50-meter crescent-shaped scimitar, length is definitely not a problem.

Everton's wall was very well positioned, with almost no gaps visible to the naked eye.

The overall height of Everton players is very tall, with an average height of around 185cm. Especially Fellaini, who is 194cm tall. If he stands in the middle of the wall, he can almost carry the entire wall.

Moreover, the human wall is very close to the goal line, leaving very little space for the Crescent Moon Blade to perform.

What’s more deadly is that the goalkeeper is an experienced intercontinental veteran.

Gu Ran took a deep breath and calmly placed the ball.

The more challenging it is, the more interesting it is.

Gu took three steps back and pulled up his shorts, revealing his thick thigh muscles. At the same time, he glanced at the goal, then activated his violent aesthetics and swung his right leg violently!

Set piece: Crescent Moon Scimitar +7!

Set piece: Deadly elevator +1!

With the "fatal elevator" taken from Arteta, the ball can be sent into the net in a limited space! The football smashed countless grass fragments with the naked eye, and passed through Fellaini's explosive hair with great speed and strength! Fellaini seemed to have hit the ball, but it seemed that he didn't hit it.

This ball is very, very extreme!

And they specifically aim at the strong area of ​​the human wall!

The more dangerous the place, the more opportunities there are! Goalkeeper Tim Howard never thought that Gu Ran would dare to kick a free kick on Fellaini's fluffy head, but Howard was not nervous, because according to the kinetic energy of the football, if it was higher than Fellaini's head after jumping, it would definitely be higher than the goal beam.

However, the ball just shaved Fellaini's head, and then it turned sharply downward, falling rapidly like a deadly elevator! Goalkeeper Tim Howard was dumbfounded!

Howard stood there, watching the ball go into the net...

The ball went in!!! Less than 5 minutes after Everton scored, Southampton, thanks to Gu Ran's wonderful performance, responded to Everton with a stunning crescent-shaped curved shot and a fatal elevator drop shot, equalizing the game!

Everton's wall was all dumbfounded! Especially Arteta... He had been practicing the elevator ball for almost 15 years, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he could kick such a perfect crescent-shaped curved and deadly elevator ball! Arteta looked at Gu Ran, his eyes full of envy that could not be concealed.

Everton Toffees fans were also stunned!

The fans of Southampton and Liverpool cheered wildly!

The score on the big screen changed to Everton 1:1 South Bank!

Head coach Adkins clenched his fist and roared excitedly.

After scoring the goal, Gu Ran was also very happy, and ran to the area of ​​his own fans in one breath, cheering for the Saints! The English League One team broke the goal of the Premier League powerhouse in an official match! This is enough for the Saints fans to brag for a while! But the Saints fans want more, that is to eat the toffee and win this knockout game!

With Gu Ran here, nothing is impossible! There is not much time left in the first half.

Gu Ran stepped up at the critical moment and pulled Southampton out of the dire situation.

Now, the pressure is on Everton.

As a strong team in the Premier League and as a home team, they were tied 1:1 by a League One team in the first half. Just looking at this result, Everton really cannot accept it.

Everton immediately stepped up their attack.

And Southampton continued to fight the defense in the half.

The movements of both sides began to become more dramatic, players from both sides fell to the ground repeatedly, and the rhythm of the game became somewhat fragmented during the repeated timeouts.

The three minutes of injury time passed in a fragmented rhythm.

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the score between the two sides temporarily remained at 1:1.

Southampton fans and Liverpool fans cheered happily at the players!

Although the score was a draw, Southampton had forced Everton to a draw! Moreover, Gu Ran's fatal elevator ball was so exciting! The fans were intoxicated!

And Everton's Toffees fans were very dissatisfied with the performance of their home team's players.

In the first half, Everton wasted too many opportunities, and the midfield brain Arteta only played to about 70% of his ability. Center forward Beckford and shadow striker Baxter were restricted to only 60% of their ability.

When leaving the field at halftime, the Everton Toffees shouted "Substitution", "Substitution". They wanted head coach Moyes to replace the three super main players, "Little Rooney" Jack Rodwell, "backbone" Philip Neville and "header king" Tim Cahill, as soon as possible.

But Moyes ignored the fans and turned away with a cold face and walked into the player tunnel. (End of this chapter)
