This ball was obviously specially trained, otherwise it would be impossible to coordinate so well, and throw it so far and so accurately! The most important thing is that when Davis threw the ball with great force, Gu Ran was still in his own half and was not offside! It was because Manchester United's defense was too arrogant and too careless in returning to defense! Southampton seized this extremely rare counterattack opportunity! While Davis threw the ball, all the other Southampton players sprinted, actively seeking physical confrontation, not allowing Manchester United players to easily speed up and get rid of, chasing and intercepting Gu Ran!
After Gu Ran got the ball, the Son of Wind and the King of Highbury immediately burst into full power and cut directly into Manchester United's penalty area from his most familiar left position!
Manchester United's defenders retreated frantically! Rio Ferdinand was very fast and ran in a straight line in the middle, which theoretically made it shorter than Gu Ran's diagonal run and more likely to be intercepted. However, after the 80th minute of the game, Manchester United's overall physical fitness had declined, and Rio Ferdinand was no exception. Although Rio Ferdinand was the world's number one defender and a representative of the immortal running, this did not mean that Rio Ferdinand could maintain a high-intensity sprint speed throughout the game!
As for Vidic, there is no need to mention it.
Vidic charges hard and fights fiercely, but he is slow to turn and chase back, which is the biggest problem that prevents Vidic from becoming the world's best defender.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Ran left Rio Ferdinand and Vidic behind.
The only Manchester United defender left in the backcourt was the right-back Fabio. Fabio accelerated towards Gu Ran to intercept him, trying to slow down Gu Ran's sprint speed so as to give Rio Ferdinand and Vidic some time to chase back.
This can also be considered as cooperation.
If it really doesn't work, Fabio is ready to slide down and pull - in short, he would rather get a yellow card than not let Gu Ran get away with a one-on-one shot.
However, young Fabio overestimated his personal abilities.
Before Fabio could get close to Gu Ran, Gu Ran did a high-speed Marseille turn, protecting the ball while easily passing Fabio! Fabio quickly reached out and pulled Gu Ran's jersey!
Fabio grabbed with all his strength, but he only caught the afterimage. He lost his balance and fell awkwardly on the grass!
Gu Ran was completely alone! The Southampton fans at the scene roared and cheered wildly! Some female fans even took off their tops that were in the way and waved them like flags! The Manchester United fans had no time to look at the scenery, their hearts were all in their throats! At this time, the world-class goalkeeper Van der Sar left the goal and attacked! Gu Ran did not hesitate, and kicked the ball directly from 40 meters away from the goal, a violent long shot!
Fairy from the sky!
The football drew a parabola like a beautiful woman's breasts and shot towards the almost empty goal! Van der Sar, who was always known for his calmness and stability, was shocked and quickly turned around and jumped to intercept!
However, the power, angle and suddenness of Gu Ran's kick are completely comparable to Lu Xiaopang's kick during his peak period!
There is nothing Van der Sar can do!
The football was shot into the net with great force!
The net was shaking, and even the goalposts were buzzing!
The ball went in! In the 81st minute of the second half, Manchester United's throw-in failed. Davis threw the ball back with a powerful hand to assist Gu Ran who ran out of the gap. Gu Ran sprinted at full speed and shot a long shot to tie the score! Amid the crazy cheers of more than 40,000 Southampton fans at the scene, the referee signaled that the goal was valid! The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium was immediately rewritten to 3:3!
Gu Ran completed a hat trick in the FA Cup final!
Manchester United's physical fitness is no longer as good as Southampton, which has been gathering strength for a long time!
If the game goes into extra time, it will not only affect the FA Cup final, but also the fight for the Premier League and Champions League this season! At this time, the host position was given to Manchester United's head coach Ferguson.
Ferguson sat on the bench with an expressionless face, but as the close-up slowly moved down, the big screen at Wembley Stadium showed Ferguson's slightly trembling, Parkinson's fingers.
Ferguson looked very calm on the surface, as if the score of 3:3 was nothing to him who was used to many ups and downs, but in fact, Ferguson had already felt the pressure brought by Gu Ran.
This kind of pressure has nothing to do with other Southampton players. Ferguson has never taken other Southampton players seriously, whether it is Chamberlain, who is known as a young talent, or Lallana, who has good strength, or Mikel, who was loaned from Chelsea, or Adkins, who is known as a magical coach - Ferguson has never taken these people seriously.
Ferguson didn't even take Southampton's tactics seriously.
What's so great about Southampton's tactics? Any coach with a little experience can see that Southampton's tactics are so simple that they don't need to be analyzed at all. They just use Gu Ran's personal strength and leading football IQ to change positions on the spot.
The only person Ferguson really cares about is Gu Ran.
It is also very simple to deal with Southampton, just need to restrict Gu Ran.
But the question is... who can restrain Gu Ran? Good ingredients often only require the simplest cooking, just like abalone, the best way to eat it is steaming.
This concept can still be applied in football matches.
When you have a BUG-level player in your camp, there is no need to complicate the formation or tactics. The simpler the better.
Complex tactics are conspiracies, simple tactics are open conspiracies.
The core of conspiracy is strategy, and the core of open conspiracy is people.
Ferguson chewed gum expressionlessly, but he couldn't hide the trembling of his fingers.
For the first time, Ferguson felt old.
It's time to retire.
