At this critical juncture, Juventus' defensive players did not dare to foul Gu Ran, because everyone was afraid of Gu Ran's superb crescent-shaped kick and deadly elevator ball.
Gu Ran seemed to have opened up the Hexi Corridor, pulling Juventus' defense from left to right.
Juventus' chain defense dared not disobey, because once one link was missing, Gu Ran would immediately seize the opportunity to break through with the ball. However, being led by Gu Ran all the time was also a very dangerous thing, because wherever Gu Ran passed, there were empty areas.
Gu Ran continued to dribble the ball towards the right bottom line, and Juventus' defensive players also surrounded him on the right.
But the next second, Gu Ran did a Cruyff turn, shook off at least three Juventus defenders, and then knocked the ball back to Van Dijk who was supporting from the back row.
After Van Dijk got the ball, he immediately moved into the empty area in the middle.
Juventus' defenders immediately sent two players to block Van Dijk.
Gu Ran suddenly accelerated and cut into the penalty area behind the two defensive players.
Van Dijk immediately made a precise ground ball short pass.
Gu Ran held off the Juventus defenders who were chasing him, took the ball and turned to shoot! Chiellini raised his foot to block it! The football passed by Chiellini's instep!
Buffon reacted very quickly and jumped into the air to save the ball!
However, the ball's path was too strange and the speed was too fast. Even if Buffon could tell the ball's path, he couldn't block it in time! The ball went into the net!
The ball went in! The referee gestured to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid!
The Southampton fans who came from afar were all crazy! The score on the big screen was changed to Juventus 2:2 Southampton! In the last minute of the game, Southampton relied on Gu Ran's superb personal ability to tie the score!
In this way, the total score becomes Juventus 4:5 Southampton!
There is no need to compare the away goal difference, just compare the total number of goals and Juventus loses!
There was less than a minute left in the regular time of the game! The fourth official raised his sign, indicating that 3 minutes of extra time would be added.
Juventus was pushed to the brink.
At this time, Southampton began to use the method of substitution.
Although the substitution method is shameless enough, it is very effective. It can not only delay the game time, but also make the opponent anxious to the point of collapse!
When Coach Adkins used up his three substitutions, the extra time ended.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game!
Southampton tied with the former world giants, the Old Lady Juventus, away from home and made a historic advance to the Europa League final!
Southampton returns home with honor!
Almost all Southampton fans came out in full force to the airport to welcome the triumphant return of the Southampton team.
This is the most exciting time for Southampton fans!
Southampton fans' celebrations continued until noon the next day.
In this game, Coach Adkins sent out the entire substitute lineup.
The substitute lineup also performed very well, and the game ended perfectly with a score of 2:0.
After all the Championship games were over, Southampton was officially promoted to the Premier League with the highest total points!
Gu Ran won the Championship's Best Player, Championship's Best Midfielder, and Championship's Golden Boot awards. Van Dijk won the Championship's Best Defender and Davis won the Championship's Best Goalkeeper. The entire Southampton team can be said to have made a lot of money.
Not only in awards, Southampton has also made huge profits in the stock market, advertising market, and live broadcasting market.
The situation on the verge of bankruptcy is gone forever! Moreover, with Gu Ran, Van Dijk, Salah, Mane, Lallana, Chamberlain, Rudiger, Luke Shaw and other world-class young players, Southampton Club can live for three years by selling any one of them.
Returning to the Premier League was naturally a joy for Southampton fans, but soon the whole of Southampton was no longer happy.
Gu Ran has fulfilled his two-year promise to lead Southampton back to the Premier League.
The summer transfer window after the end of this season will be the time for Gu Ran to leave Southampton.
During this period, there were always fanatical Southampton fans setting up tents in front of the Staplewood training base, waiting to see Gu Ran. They wanted to ask Gu Ran to stay in Southampton through this collective petition.
Every time Gu Ran met these fans, he would kindly give them his signed jerseys, but he did not reveal whether he would leave Southampton or which club he would go to after leaving.
The Premier League giants and other world giants who have been waiting for a long time have also started to take action.
Mendes' phone was almost blown up, with people coming to discuss Gu Ran's transfer conditions almost 24 hours a day.
Real Madrid directly offered Gu Ran a transfer fee of 100 million euros! This transfer fee has exceeded the 96 million euros that Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid that year! Barcelona was not to be outdone and directly offered Gu Ran a transfer fee of 101 million euros, as well as an extremely high salary structure.
Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and other Italian Serie A giants also made offers for Gu Ran after watching the match between Gu Ran and Juventus.
Of course, the most active bidders are not from La Liga and Serie A, but from the Premier League's top teams.
The wealthy Manchester City could not wait any longer. When they saw that Real Madrid offered 100 million euros and Barcelona offered 101 million euros, they immediately withdrew their previous offer of 80 million pounds and directly offered 100 million pounds.
The British pound is worth much more than the euro!
Manchester United was not to be outdone and offered a transfer offer of 72 million pounds. Although Manchester United's offer was far less than that of Manchester City, the letter of intent provided by Manchester United clearly stated that Ferguson wanted to build Gu Ran into the new core of the team, and Gu Ran would enjoy the highest privileges of Manchester United.
Arsenal also made their offer contract. Coach Wenger has been working hard and quietly managing finances for the past two years, and finally at this critical moment, he made a transfer offer of 80 million pounds.
Chelsea's Abramovich was shocked when he heard other clubs' transfer offers for Gu Ran. He originally thought that he could get Gu Ran for a maximum of 80 million pounds, but he didn't expect that even poor Arsenal could pay 80 million.
Abramovich personally found Sister NO who was responsible for poaching Gu Ran. Abramovich told Sister NO that no matter what the cost was, there would be no cap on the transfer fee and salary, and that as long as it was within the legal scope, she could do it freely, and anything that was not allowed within the legal scope had to be done with caution. In a word, Gu Ran must be poached to Chelsea.
Sister NO excitedly put on her black stockings and sent Gu Ran the hotel room number where they often discussed issues.
