"Okay! Then let's give it a try!"

Coach Adkins made up his mind and quickly drew a formation diagram on the blank tactical board. He explained as he drew: "In the second half, we don't need to defend with all our strength. The score is already like this. There is no point in blindly defending!"

"Gu Ran is right, Tottenham's offense is very strong, like chopping melons and vegetables. Their two wingers are very fast, and they have Modric and Van der Vaart in the midfield, and Crouch and Defoe in front. Our defense line can't compete with them in speed!"

"Since we can't defend, let's change our tactics! Attack instead of defense!"

"In the second half, except for the defensive midfielder Mikel, the two central defenders and the goalkeeper, everyone else should push forward and attack!"

"Pass the ball to Gu Ran!"

"Let Tottenham's front-line attacking players be forced to defend our attack. Let's see if their back line can hold on!"

"There will be a lot of physical confrontation in the second half, and the physical energy consumption will be great. Everyone must be fully prepared mentally!"

"Yes! Coach!"

"We fought with Tottenham!"

All the Southampton players were excited.

After a 15-minute break, the players from Southampton and Tottenham returned to the field and continued the fight!

Southampton's morale was high, while Tottenham's faces were filled with smiles of confidence of victory.

After the game started, Southampton kicked off.

Lallana knocked the ball back to Gu Ran and then dived into Tottenham's half.

Chamberlain and Schneiderlin also made off-ball runs on both flanks to support the team.

With the support of Lambert, Gu Ran dribbled the ball straight to the middle.

Modric came towards Gu Ran alone, while the other Tottenham players stood in a loose position, with no intention of defending nervously at all.

Gu Ran was not at all afraid of Modric's defense. He relied on his body and footwork to dribble past Modric and pushed the ball out of Tottenham's penalty area in the blink of an eye.

Tottenham's defense became tense, and Bale, Lennon and others double-teamed Gu Ran.

In the blink of an eye, at least five Tottenham players double-teamed Gu Ran.

Gu Ran dribbled the ball horizontally, created a gap, and then kicked a half-high ball straight in front of the goal!

Chamberlain, who had cut in front of the goal without the ball, immediately jumped up and headed the ball!

This pass was so beautiful! And so sudden!

The entire Tottenham Hotspur defense line suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Gomez reacted extremely quickly and saved the ball like a knife!

But soon after, Lallana picked up the second point in front of the goal and shot!

Gomez jumped up again and blocked the ball again!

Van der Vaart immediately ran after the ball from the midline! However, Mikel, who stayed in the backcourt, took the lead in blocking the ball. While knocking Van der Vaart away, he stopped the ball with his chest, and then made a precise short pass to Gu Ran who had retreated urgently.

After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately dribbled towards the top of Tottenham's penalty area again.

Modric stuck to Gu Ran tightly, trying to limit Gu Ran's breakthrough.

Lennon, Bale and Ledley King also formed a certain line of defense in front of Gu Ran to intercept.

Gu Ran used his force to push Modric away, then accelerated to attract Lennon, Bell and others to the left. Then Gu Ran lowered his shoulder like Matthews and quickly inserted himself past Lennon!

Lennon quickly reached out to stop Gu Ran, but Lennon's small body couldn't stop Gu Ran's attack! Gu Ran saw the gap in Tottenham's defense at the top of the arc and immediately shot!

World wave! The football whizzed towards the blind corner of the goal like an electromagnetic heavy artillery!

Gomez reacted very quickly, jumped up and made a one-handed save! Gomez's hand touched the ball! But!

The power of the kick was too great! Gomez couldn't hold it with one hand! The football shot into the net and hit the upper left corner! The ball went in! The referee signaled that the goal was valid! Wembley Stadium was instantly boiling!

At the beginning of the second half, Southampton changed their defensive style and launched two waves of strong attacks! With Gu Ran's Batistuta-style heavy artillery, they blasted open the door of Tottenham! On the big screen of Wembley Stadium, the score was immediately rewritten as Tottenham Hotspur 4:2 Southampton! Southampton scored 2 goals in a row after losing 4 goals! Gu Ran scored twice!

The Southampton fans in the stands were all excited and in tears. Although their team was still two points behind, everyone could feel that Southampton had not given up! For the fans, this was the most exciting thing!

Even if they still lose the game, as long as Southampton can play with passion, they will be satisfied! At this moment, the entire Wembley Stadium was filled with shouts of "Chinese Dad"! The Southampton players surrounded Gu Ran and celebrated happily!

The Tottenham players looked depressed.

They were leading Southampton by 4 goals in the first half. Although they are still leading now, Southampton is clearly different.

The game continues.

After Tottenham kicked off, they continued with the style of the first half, launching a high-speed sprint attack from both wings.

Instead of shrinking their defense, Southampton pushed their defense line forward, using high-pressure defense and increasing physical confrontation.

The two sides played back and forth in the midfield and frontcourt.

Tottenham is a very fast team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the team with the fastest front players in the Premier League. However, in the second half, Tottenham's sprint speed and frequency obviously weakened. In addition, Tottenham's confrontationalness during this period was considered poor in the Premier League, so Tottenham often lost the ball during melees in the midfield.

In Tottenham's midfield and frontcourt, Crouch seems very tall but has poor physical confrontation. Defoe is fast and has good footwork, but he is short and small. Not to mention the electric mouse Lennon. Van der Vaart is prone to injury and always avoids confrontation. Only Bale and Modric are somewhat confrontational.

But Modric was closely guarded by Gu Ran and couldn't hold the ball at all.

The situation of the game was still tilting towards Southampton, and Southampton's penetration and attacks began to increase gradually.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur felt like they were being suppressed.

Tottenham fans also frowned at the performance of the players on the field, completely unable to understand why Tottenham played so badly in the second half.

Could it be that the Tottenham players were popping champagne in the midfield? …
