Although Torres had missed two shots, the game had just begun and Chelsea's attack was still wave after wave, each one higher than the last.

Of course, most of Chelsea's attacks were launched by the left and right full-backs. Lampard, the genie on the central axis, had been restricted by Gu Ran at this time, and the engineer Ramirez was also anxious and could not help.

Ramirez really wanted to be ruthless and knock Gu Ran to the ground.

But before this game, coach Ancelotti specifically warned him not to harm his future Chelsea teammates, especially when the big boss Abramovich was watching the game in person.

Therefore, Ramirez could only follow Gu Ran obediently, and at most he would reach out and pull Gu Ran's jersey.

However, the action of pulling the jersey could not restrict Gu Ran's performance at all.

The game was in the 13th minute.

Ashley Cole dribbled the ball along Southampton's right side and burst forward.

Schneiderlin and Lallana teamed up to press, but Ashley Cole easily broke through with his speed and physical impact.

When Lambert and Fonte came up to intercept Ashley Cole, left winger Malouda took the opportunity to cut inside to the empty area behind Fonte and Lambert.

Ashley Cole saw the opportunity and immediately made a powerful pass.

Lambert stretched his legs to intercept, but he was a beat too late. The ball passed through the gap between him and Fonte and was accurately delivered to Malouda's feet! After Malouda got the ball, he quickly stepped forward, then swung his left leg and shot violently! At the critical moment, Walton made a self-sacrificing flying tackle and blocked the powerful shot with his ankle without touching Malouda!

Walton made a great contribution! The ball bounced out of the penalty area! But the crisis was not over yet. After passing the ball, Ashley Cole also moved forward to the penalty area, and the first landing point of the ball was just within Ashley Cole's range!

While chasing back, Schneiderlin was pushed away by Ashley Cole with his wrist! This action was not done with the palm, so the referee did not blow the whistle.

Ashley Cole jumped high without any obstruction and touched the ball with his chest!

Immediately afterwards, Ashley Cole made a move to take a direct long shot!

Jaidi and Walton, who had just climbed up, immediately blocked the attack at all costs.

However, Ashley Cole used his toes to flick the ball and then cut inside with the ball!

The center axis of Southampton's penalty area is empty!

Just as Ashley Cole was about to cut inside to the top of the arc, Gu Ran turned into a black and white lightning and chased him from behind. With a deadly sliding tackle, he accurately shoveled the ball out of the sideline! Ashley Cole was shocked and did not retract his foot. The studs of his left foot hit Gu Ran's back of the head heavily! Gu Ran suddenly felt a sharp pain and subconsciously reached out to touch the hair on the back of his head. The hair on the back of his head was already wet. Looking at his hands again, they were covered in blood.

All the fans at the scene exclaimed at once.

Not only were the Saints fans who came from afar extremely worried, but even the Blues fans were worried about Gu Ran.

The referee stopped the game and signaled the team doctor to come on the court.

The exclusive team doctor, Michael, and Southampton's chief team doctor ran into the stadium anxiously carrying first aid kits.

In fact, apart from some pain, Gu Ran didn't have any major problems with his body - after all, he had a Constitution of 85 points and Tin Man: Body of Steel +6. He just bled a little and could still continue the game.

Mai Fu quickly checked the wound on the back of Gu Ran's head and said in a trembling voice, "Gu... the wound is not small. I'm afraid it will need stitches."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Fortunately it's not the front face, otherwise, I wouldn't be a handsome guy."

Mai Fu said sadly: "Gu, you can still laugh at this time? Your wound is so big, why don't I let Coach Adkins replace you!"

As he said this, Mave was about to wave to Coach Adkins, who looked very nervous.

Gu Ran grabbed Mai Fu's hand and said, "No need. I know my own injuries well. I'm fine. I can still continue the game. It's just a little bleeding. Have you forgotten that you are a miracle doctor? Just bandage it for me and I'll be fine."

Mai Fu hurriedly said, "Gu! Your wound is very big. The intense running will keep tearing it!"

Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "Then sew it up for me! Sew it now, right here!"

Mai Fu opened his mouth, wanting to give Gu Ran some more medical knowledge, but when he made firm eye contact with Gu Ran, he understood that Gu Ran would never leave the field, not even to leave temporarily to go to the sidelines for treatment.

Mai Fu immediately took out the needle decisively, and did not give Gu Ran anesthesia. He just disinfected it and started stitching the wound on the back of Gu Ran's head! More than a dozen cameras on the sidelines were all filming Gu Ran's stitching.

All the female fans of Southampton covered their eyes and cried out of heartache.

Chelsea fans also shook their heads in admiration.

Assistant coach Emenalo, who was standing on the Chelsea bench, said excitedly: "Iron-blooded, iron-blooded! Gu must be our Chelsea man! He must be!"

At this time, Davis, Walton and others surrounded the referee and asked him to show Ashley Cole a red card.

Ashley Cole's action was too dangerous. Although it cannot be concluded that Ashley Cole deliberately kicked Gu Ran on the back of the head, with such a serious injury, it is impossible to say that Ashley Cole had no bad intentions at all. It would be unreasonable for the referee not to do something.

At this time, Chelsea captain John Terry trotted over to the referee and said, "Mr. Referee, should Gu be temporarily removed from the field for treatment and the game resumed?"

The referee nodded.

According to the rules, injured players who need treatment cannot delay the progress of the game and need to go to the sidelines for treatment. Then, at the next dead ball, they can return to the game with the referee's permission.

However, without Gu Ran's suppression of the central axis, Lampard and Ramirez were completely liberated.

Then Southampton will face a top-level attack.

With Southampton's current defensive level, they can't stop the cooperation of the genie and the trident.

Davis immediately said to the referee: "Mr. Referee, please wait a moment. Before resuming the game, you must first give us Southampton an explanation! Ashley Cole must be sent off!"

Ashley Cole looked helpless.
