This match is more valuable than any other match in the past! It’s even more valuable than the match against Manchester City!

Although Gu Ran had few chances to touch the ball in this game, and only scored two goals and had one assist, the opponent was Chelsea, the champion of the Premier League and the Champions League! Gu Ran was named the best player of the game, and his score after the game reached 8.5 points.

This score is far lower than the 9.1 points in the match against Manchester City, but it is definitely the highest score of the game.

Southampton was completely suppressed today, with an overall ball possession rate of just over 20%, but the score was 3:3! This is amazing!

In contrast, Lampard, who performed well for Chelsea today, only received a score of 7.8 and was completely suppressed by Gu Ran.

The growth settlement after this game was also very generous. Combined with his own improvement during this period of time, Gu Ran's various data indicators have made great progress.

In terms of physical attributes, the strength attribute increased to 88 points, the constitution attribute increased to 89 points, the speed increased to 91 points, the burst increased to 92 points, and the bounce increased to 85 points.

In terms of technical attributes, dribbling has increased to 86 points, long shots have increased to 90 points, shots have increased to 80 points, steals have increased to 74 points, and positioning and marking have increased to 75 points.

Mental attributes have also been improved, with prediction increased to 82 points and calmness increased to 76 points.

In terms of basic skills, Gu Ran's data has also been strengthened and improved. Basically, most of the practical skills have been strengthened and upgraded, and even some of the strengthened practical skills have been stacked to +6.

However, the skills of star-level players have increased slightly.

Although all data have improved greatly in the past month, he is still far from becoming a truly top-notch Premier League star.

Therefore, Gu Ran became more determined to continue killing monsters and leveling up in the "Novice Village".

Half an hour later, all members of the Southampton team took their own bus and returned to the Staplewood training base singing all the way.

Coach Adkins announced that the whole team would have two days off. In addition, he gave Gu Ran an extra three days off to allow him to have a good rest and prepare for the first round of the final of the English Championship South Division and the second round of the League Cup semi-final against Chelsea at the end of the month.

When Gu Ran returned home, it was already very late.

Just as I was planning to go to bed early after the ice and fire therapy, a phone call came in.

Gu Ran didn't intend to pay attention to it, but the phone kept ringing, as if it wouldn't stop until Gu Ran answered it.

Gu Ran picked up the phone and saw that it was Miss NO from Chelsea calling.

Gu Ran thought about it and finally answered the phone.

"Hi, Marina."

"Hey, Gu...you hurt me." Sister NO's voice was sad on the other end of the phone.

Gu Ran quickly said: "Marina, a game is a game, you know, as a professional player, of course I have the responsibility to shoot."

Sister NO said sadly, "But you didn't shoot my door."

"Ah?" Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, "Marina, you...are you drunk?"

Sister NO on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Yeah, if I wasn't drunk, how could I have the courage to call you?"

Holy shit…

Gu Ran quickly said: "Marina, you need to calm down."

"Then can you talk to me about the transfer?"

"cannot."

"Okay, I won't talk about the transfer, but can you drink with me?"

"I... can't either." Gu Ran explained: "My head injury hasn't healed yet, and the doctor told me not to drink."

Gu Ran said helplessly: "Marina, this is it, I really don't want to transfer this season."

Sister NO said angrily, "No! Don't say NO to me! I don't want to hear you say NO to me! Give me some time, even just a few minutes, as long as I can have a face-to-face, private conversation with you, I promise that I will never bother you again this season!"

Gu Ran thought for a moment, "...Okay then. I have a couple of days off."

Sister NO immediately said, "Tell me the address and I'll find you!"

Gu Ran hurriedly said: "No, no, no! I'll go find you!"

Oh my god, if Sister NO knew the address of the Dune Villa, she would come to harass me every day in order to poach my people!

Gu Ran asked: "When are you free?"

Sister NO said, "I could have said that I'm available anytime, but... I've not been feeling well in the last few days. But I'll be fine in three days! Let's meet on the fourth day!"

Gu Ran: Damn...does your intention have to be so obvious? Why are you handing me a steering wheel while we're talking? I'm really not that kind of person! Gu Ran immediately cleared his throat and said seriously, "...Okay, Marina, I'll find someone to book a hotel room on the fourth day and send you a message then."

"Gu! We have a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath and murmured, "What the hell am I doing?"

Early the next morning.

Gu Ran got up early, and after finishing his extra training, he called his personal assistant Rick and asked him to book an ultra-luxurious suite at the Pan Pacific Hotel in the wealthy area of ​​London.

On January 15th, Gu Ran was still on vacation, and the 26th round of the English League One resumed with Southampton playing against Colchester United at home.

The next game is the final of the English Championship South Division, and Southampton's opponent is also Colchester United.

This means that Colchester United will suffer two critical hits from Southampton in just four days.

Colchester United is trembling.

Fortunately, Gu Ran was rested in today's game, and other main players were also rested because they had just played against Chelsea. Southampton only played five and a half main players today, and the rest were substitutes.

At the beginning, Colchester United played very conservatively, after all, they had been scared by Southampton before.

However, as the game progressed, Southampton never had a decent attack and their defense was full of loopholes.

It’s a pity that Colchester United was too conservative and failed to seize the opportunity.

The score was 0:0 in the first half and both sides drew.

After the start of the second half, Colchester United reacted and began to launch an offensive.

Southampton's defense was struggling to hold on, and coach Adkins replaced several main players after 70 minutes.

However, before the end of the game, Colchester United still scored a goal through cooperation between the two wings.

Southampton lost their 26th game away from home.

Fortunately, the advantages accumulated in the early stage were big enough, and this loss did not bring about any substantial changes to the ranking in the English League One standings.

Early in the morning of January 16, Gu Ran drove to the Pan Pacific Hotel in London.
