Chamberlain stepped forward to intercept Big Ivan.

Big Ivan relied on his body and speed to easily get rid of Chamberlain's interception. Chamberlain reached out to pull Big Ivan's arm, but was directly thrown away by Big Ivan.

Lambert and Hammond double-teamed Ivan at the same time. Ivan made a beautiful wall pass with Lampard who took advantage of the opportunity, then bypassed Lambert and Hammond and took the ball directly to the bottom line.

Gu Ran had tried his best to defend Lampard, but Lampard's sharp movement still allowed him to find an opportunity to cooperate in a very short time.

With just such a simple wall pass, Southampton's left side was instantly penetrated!

Football is like this. World-class players often don’t have any fancy or difficult skills. They just need to appear at the most appropriate time and place to complete exquisite cooperation.

From this perspective, if Gu Ran hadn't almost locked down Lampard, Southampton would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

Just as Ivan was dribbling the ball down the field, Anelka naturally cut inside.

Jaidi was forced to come out to intercept Big Ivan, but Hammond's pursuit was obviously a beat too slow, giving Big Ivan a gap to pass the ball!

Without any strong pressure, Big Ivan decisively swept the ball in front of the goal!

Torres rushed in from the back to get the ball! However, Anelka stretched his legs before Torres and shot before Walton could interfere! Davis fell to the ground sideways.

Missed it! The ball went through Davis' armpit and rolled into the near corner of the goal! Goal! 30th minute!

Chelsea finally scored a goal! The Blues fans cheered excitedly!

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium rumbled with thunderous cheers!

Southampton fans shook their heads and sighed helplessly.

In fact, Southampton had done a very good job by not conceding a goal in the first 30 minutes. The players also tried their best, especially Gu Ran, who was seriously injured and bleeding from his head, but insisted on not leaving the field. This made the Southampton saints feel very relieved.

However, after holding on for so long, they still conceded a goal, which made Southampton fans feel bad.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Chelsea's team is composed entirely of Champions League-level players, and more than half of them can be considered world-class.

Southampton was able to play like this thanks to Gu Ran’s desperate defense in the middle.

After Chelsea celebrated, the game continued.

In the 35th minute, Torres continued to miss the shot and Southampton got a chance to counterattack.

Lambert made a short pass to Gu Ran in the middle, and Gu Ran immediately started at high speed, leaving Lampard and Ramirez behind!

But the next moment, Essien rushed towards him!

Gu Ran immediately protected the ball and performed a Marseille turn!

In such a short time, Lampard and Ramirez caught up.

The three B2B midfielders launched a desperate stranglehold on Gu Ran!

Gu Ran’s fast break opportunity was gone, and now he could only find a way to pass the ball.

Gu Ran calmly leaned his back against Lampard to prevent Lampard from fighting him head-on - you know, among these three B2Bs, although Lampard is not the most aggressive, from the perspective of on-the-spot reaction and football IQ, Lampard is definitely the most deadly.

While leaning on Lampard, Gu Ran quickly made a fried meatball.

Essien and Ramirez didn't dare to kick rashly for a while, but just surrounded and locked Gu Ran, not giving Gu Ran a chance to break through.

Gu Ran saw the opportunity and kicked the ball directly through the crotch towards Essien on the side!

Essien was caught off guard, and by the time he wanted to close his legs, it was too late!

While Essien was turning around to chase the ball, Gu Ran immediately exerted his strength and knocked away Ramirez who was close to him! Ramirez had unlimited physical energy, was strong enough, and was very aggressive, but Gu Ran was not a pushover! Under Gu Ran's full-strength impact, Ramirez staggered back several steps, and then he barely stabilized his body, but his close stranglehold on Gu Ran was gone!

Gu Ran took the opportunity to run wildly!

Lampard reached out and grabbed Gu Ran's jersey! Gu Ran swung his hand and quickly pushed Lampard's arm away, then sprinted at full speed with violent aesthetics!

The ball that Gu Ran just kicked through the crotch was caught by Lallana in the first time. The long-term cooperation in football was not in vain. After Lallana got the ball, he didn't wait for Essien to rush over, and immediately knocked the ball horizontally!

After Gu Ran got rid of Lampard and Ramires, he immediately caught Lallana's cross pass! The two of them played a two-on-three match in front of three world-class B2B midfielders!

The Saints fans in the entire south stand went crazy! Gu Ran was unstoppable and dribbled the ball straight into Chelsea's penalty area!

Terry and David Luiz pushed out at the same time, blocking Gu Ran's breakthrough channel!

Gu Ran was not polite either, and directly made a violent long shot from outside the penalty area! The football was like an electromagnetic cannonball, drawing a bright arc in front of all the fans at the scene, and blasted towards Chelsea's goal with full force! Bang! Goalkeeper Cech made a cross-body save, bravely blocking this heavy shot like the god of war Batty! All the Saints fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed!

You know, Gu Ran's shooting success rate is extremely high! Not to mention nine out of ten, but at least seven or eight out of ten, and Gu Ran's long-range shooting success rate is even higher. Gu Ran's long-range shooting is sudden, tricky, fast, and powerful. Most goalkeepers can only stand on the ground when facing Gu Ran's long-range shooting!

However, this time, Gu Ran's violent long-range shot was blocked by Cech!

Cech during this period was truly the world's top goalkeeper at his peak! So stable!

Of course, the ball was blocked thanks to Terry and David Luiz, both of whom are world-class players. Their pressure from closing the door did prevent Gu Ran from getting the best timing for his kick. Their blocking route also limited Gu Ran's kick to a fixed area.

Cech only blocked the heavy cannon with his body. The fear in Cech's heart was much greater than Gu Ran's fear! Cech missed the ball and his whole arm was numb.

At this time, Lallana had already rushed to the front of the goal, grabbed the first point, and forced a shot with his foot when he was about to lose his balance! ... (End of this chapter)
