For the rest of the first half, the two sides continued to fight hand-to-hand on both sides.
The Bucks Steel Horns have more fighting spirit as they play!
A two-goal lead gave them hope of making history!
In the cheers of more than 2,200 students and parents, the Bucks Steel Horns team was as brave as chicken blood.
On the other hand, the Angel Wings team, after being hit by two consecutive goals, their fighting spirit was greatly reduced, and their running on the field became disorganized.
The devilish home pressure, coupled with the rainy weather, caused them to make mistakes one after another.
In the rest of the first half, the Angel Wings had only 2 decent offenses, while the Bucks and Steel Horns had 6!
The Bucks Steel Horns completely overwhelmed the Angel Wings in the situation!
Such a scene was unimaginable by anyone before the game started.
Angel Wings has half of the Everton youth training echelon players!
As a result, he is now being pressed and rubbed by the Bucks Steel Horns!
Gu Ran contributed a lot!
Not to mention Gu Ran's sprint speed, nor his breakthrough ability, as well as his ability to read the court like an eye-opener and his ability to make precise passes. Just talking about Gu Ran's running distance in the first half, that's all. The best of all players!
Gu Ran's running distance in the first half had reached more than 5 kilometers!
What is the concept of half-court running distance of 5 kilometers?
The standard running distance for professional players is 10,000 meters. The average running distance for all players in the five major leagues is 12,000 meters. The average running distance for all players in the Chinese Super League is 9 kilometers - far away. In the A-A era in the 1990s, the average running distance of all players was 5 kilometers.
This is an obvious data gap.
In China, running more than 11,000 runs in a single game is extremely rare, and they are respectfully called "Undead Runner" and "Three Lungs".
If you want to play in the five major leagues, running 12,000 times in a single game is considered to be no less than the average.
The difference between a strong team and a weak team does not lie in the number of stars.
It's about the overall hard data.
——Physical fitness is the most important of all hard data.
Gu Ran ran 5 kilometers in halftime, and this was even under rainy conditions. This is definitely a very shocking statistic.
Running and fighting in the rain is very strenuous in itself, and the turf is very slippery, so you need more physical strength to control your body balance.
But under these conditions, Gu Ran could still make crazy moves.
Angel Wings' right wing was constantly being blasted by Gu Ran!
It’s so cool to watch Gu Ran play football!
In the stands, students and parents burst into waves of adrenaline!
In the stoppage time of the first half, Gu Ran sprinted and broke through on the left wing. He killed three people in a row with a sprint speed that was so fast that it was blurry, and then made a precise cross from the wing——
The glider jumped high into the rain and headed the ball!
Tyas also jumped up to fight for the top!
Gu Ran's pass was very accurate, and the glider had a better chance than Tyas!
However, Tyas's jumping is very good, his positioning is better, and his headers are obviously better than those of gliders!
In an unfavorable situation, Tyas forcibly held the glider's body to fight for the top!
The football was too slippery, and there was a challenge from Tyas for the top. Although the glider hit the ball half a shot earlier, the header was not strong enough——
The football spun out of control, hit the goal post and flew out of the baseline!
The glider knelt in front of the goal and hammered the turf impatiently!
This ball... is really just a little bit close!
I almost beat the Angel Wings 3:0 in the first half!
If there was no interference from Tyas' header, it would really be 3:0!
The students and parents in the stands also lamented!
If we can penetrate the Angel Wings in the first half, it will be really great!
pity……
The Angel Wings are really not a weak team, and the Bucks Steel Horns are really not a strong team.
Students and parents lamented and then clapped to the Bucks Steelhorns players on the field as a sign of encouragement.
Although he didn't score a goal, Gu Ran's performance was really beautiful.
Gu Ran ran to the door, patted Glider on the shoulder, pulled him up from the water-filled turf, and gave him a hug.
"It's okay, come again!"
"Gu, thank you...you can still pass the ball to me, right?"
"As long as you work hard to penetrate me, I will work hard to feed you cake."
"Brothers!"
The wet glider excitedly hugged Gu Ran, who was also soaked.
The girls in the stands screamed like crazy again...
beep--
With the referee's long whistle, the first half of the game is over!
The halftime score was fixed at Bucks Steel Horns 2:0 Angel Wings.
Players from both sides left the field amid the cheers of more than 2,200 students and parents, and each returned to their respective locker rooms to adjust and rest.
At this time, the light rain has turned into moderate rain, and it has no intention of stopping.
The students and parents in the stands were all soaked by the rain.
However, no one is willing to leave!
Each of them wants to witness in person the glorious moment when the Bucks Steel Horns make history!
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but it can't extinguish the real passion! On the contrary, it will only make the passion more passionate!
Four court staff from Southampton High School ran onto the field wearing raincoats and used wipers to deal with the water in the field.
Singers from local bars in Southampton also took advantage of the intermission to sing for the audience in the rain.
The first is "Fearless" by Taylor Swift.
Followed by another song "Fifteen" by Taylor Swift...
The students and parents in the stands followed the rhythm of the music and played in the rain!
Students and parents had a great time!
The atmosphere at halftime was no weaker than during the game!
...The 15-minute intermission ended quickly.
The local singers shouted the slogan "The Bucks Steel Horns will fight to the end" when they left the stage!
When the Bucks Steel Horns and Angel Wings came on stage again, the atmosphere reached its peak again!
After the half-time break, the morale of the Bucks Steel Horns team was high, and everyone's face was filled with the desire to win!
The Angel Wings team's momentum has obviously recovered a lot after the midfield lecture from their head coach Moritz.
The two sides changed sides and fought again.
As soon as the second half started, Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and added 1 point to his physical attributes to ensure a relatively high physical condition.
As a result, Gu Ran's physical attributes reached 71 points, and there were still 2 talent points left in his mind.
In the second half, the Angel Wings strengthened their offensive rhythm and their ball possession rate also improved significantly.
The Bucks Steel Horns are still playing steadily, and they will counterattack whenever they seize the opportunity.
The rain continued to intensify, mistakes on both sides increased frequently, and physical fitness also dropped significantly.
In the 53rd minute, the left back of the Angel Wings came up with the ball to assist, and Rose suddenly switched from the center to the left.
The left wing of the Angel Wings corresponds to the right wing of the Bucks Steel Horns.
This tactical change immediately caught the Bucks Steel Horns' right wing off guard.
Obviously, the Angel Wings made tactical adjustments during the halftime break. They avoided confrontation with Gu Ran on the left and center, and specifically targeted the Bucks Steel Horns' weak areas to break through.
This strategy is very smart.
After all, the Angel Wings have many professional players, and their offensive cooperation in weak areas will definitely be more efficient than that of the Bucks and Steel Horns.
Moreover, Rose's left foot skills are very good and he can completely serve as a left forward.
When Coach Carter saw Rose changing positions, he immediately jumped up from his seat and directed the Bucks to retreat to defense.
Rose made two consecutive passes and receptions with his left back on the left wing, easily breaking through the defense of the blind man and Hua Luo.
Bread quickly made up his position and came to help defend. The central defender Mao Zedong also stepped forward to cover his position. Gu Ran ran into his own penalty area to fill the Mao's vacancy.
Defensively, the Bucks Steel Horns did a pretty good job.
However, Rose's personal skills completely overwhelmed Bread. Rose touched the ball twice with his left and right feet, easily passed the closing defense of Bread and the painter, and cut inside to the side of the small penalty area!
Bucks Steel Horns defenders immediately blocked Rose's shot angle.
Rose passed directly back to the center of the penalty area, and the Angel Wings forward stepped in from the back and followed up with a furious shot!
Goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus Rex reacted quickly, jumped up, and made the save with one hand——
The T-Rex reached the ball!
but!
The rain is so slippery! The Tyrannosaurus rex was missed!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex is off, off, off, off, off!
The football rolled into the Bucks Steel Horns goal!
There was a sudden cry in the stands!
The Tyrannosaurus rex himself looked up at the raining sky with his hands on his hips in anger!
The cold icy rain slapped randomly on his face.
Warm tears mixed with cold rain...
He seemed to want to question God - why! Why! Why does it rain?
The referee blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid!
The scoreboard at the scene was also rewritten as Bucks Steel Horns 2:1 Angel Wings!
The Angel Wings players hugged each other happily!
With this goal, their depression was suppressed for most of the game and relieved by more than half!
The game is not over yet, they feel they can turn defeat into victory!
The score of 2:1 also restored the suspense of this national semi-finals match!
“Shit Wings—puff!”
"Shit Wings—puff puff puff!"
In the stands, more than 2,200 students and parents booed in unison.
Angel Wings players turned a deaf ear to the emotionally damaging trash talk!
Obviously, Moritz's midfield lecture had a good effect.
As a result, more than 2,200 students and parents began to sing in unison:
"There is a handsome oriental man named Gu Ran!"
"Don't be proud, Angel Wings! Don't be proud!"
"Because next there is Gu Ran's 40-meter-long full-moon scimitar!"
"Next, there's Gu Ran's 40-meter long scimitar sword!"
"Oh oh oh! Next, Gu Ran will treat you to taste his 40-meter-long full-moon-shaped mouth!"
The Angel Wings players suddenly became a little nervous again.
Gu Ran clapped his hands and shouted loudly to his teammates: "Hold on, we are still in the lead! This is our home court!"
"That's right!"
"Steady, steady!"
"Stag Steel Horns!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
The Bucks Steel Horns players clenched their fists and roared, each returning to their respective positions.
The fierce competition continues.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Having tasted the sweetness, the Angel Wings continued to make fuss from their left wing, trying to replicate Rose's cross.
However, the Bucks Steelhorns extended their defensive zone to the entire court.
Gu Ran's range of activities in the backcourt is also wider.
Gu Ran did not run directly to the right to block Rose, but intercepted Angel Wings' support from the center on his own left and center.
Rose made several good breakthroughs from the wing, but no one in the middle could handle it.
In this case, Rose can only choose to force the shot by himself.
Rose's shot either missed, was saved in time by Tyrannosaurus Rex, or was pushed out by Rusty Bar.
For the next half hour, players from both sides went back and forth.
The Angel Wings are obviously more offensive, while the Bucks Steelhorns focus on defense.
After all, they are in the lead now and there is no need to waste physical energy and take risks.
Stabilizing the situation, pressing the whole court, destroying the Angel Wings' offense, and consuming the Angel Wings' physical energy is the best strategy for a weak team.
Of course, this is also physically demanding for the Bucks Steel Horns.
To put it bluntly, they are exchanging physical fitness for victory.
In the last 15 minutes of the game, their physical energy was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, they were only facing amateur teams. If this was a professional league, it would have been too easy to be beaten in the last 15 minutes.
The scene became very dull.
The more than 2,200 students and parents in the stands were all tired and dumb.
Their whole bodies were soaked by the rain. When the adrenaline passion subsided, the cold took over everything. They could only hold their shoulders and chatter with their upper and lower teeth.
But even though they were almost freezing, none of them left the stands.
There are still people shouting Gu Ran's name, and there are still people singing Gu Ran's 40-meter full-moon scimitar.
The small club scouts in the main stand looked bored at the moment.
To be honest, although Gu Ran's performance in this game surprised them, after all, these two teams were just amateur high school teams, and the excitement of the match was far worse than that of the professional league.
Many young scouts were already chatting in low voices about other topics. They were waiting for the game to end and scrambling for opportunities to get in touch with Gu Ran.
It really doesn't matter to them whether the Bucks Steel Horns win or lose, they just want to get Gu Ran.
But Chelsea's Emenalo is still taking scouting notes seriously.
He drew every effective sprint by Gu Ran in his notes, whether it was an offensive sprint or a defensive sprint.
In his scouting notes, he carefully recorded Gu Ran's detailed data such as the number of sprints, the number of passes, the number of interceptions and steals, the number of violations, the number of attacks initiated, the number of key clearances, the number of precise passes, the number of feeds, etc.
The more he looked at Gu Ran's data, the more excited Emenalo became!
...Baby! Baby!
Emenaro could not wait to take off his raincoat right now, jump off the main stand, rush into the field, put the windbreaker on Gu Ran's shoulders, and then said to Gu Ran: Stop kicking my brother! Brother will arrange for you to meet Sister NO tonight!
——Of course, Emenalo also knows that this is impossible.
Chelsea is a top club and everything has to be done according to process.
When there were only 10 minutes left in the game, the Angel Wings took the lead in making substitutions.
Head coach Moritz replaced two defensive midfielders at one time and replaced them with a central midfielder and a right midfielder.
He needs to rely on the physical fitness and impact of the two forwards to make another fierce attack in the last 10 minutes.
The central midfielder is used to cooperate with Rose, while the new right midfielder is used to contain Gu Ran.
Once Gu Ran moves to the center to support the defense, the right midfielder will penetrate behind Gu Ran to seek opportunities.
The formation of the Angel Wings also immediately changed from the relatively conservative 4231 defensive counterattack formation to the 433 winger offensive formation.
This is not Mourinho's 433, nor is it a pass-and-control 433, but a less symmetrical and obviously targeted temporary formation.
Rose's position was fixed on the left wing, relying on Rose to penetrate the right wing of the Bucks Steel Horns. The center midfielder and right midfielder, in addition to breaking through and supporting, were to contain Gu Ran.
This 433 is aimed at Gu Ran.
It has to be said that Moritz is indeed a coach from the Everton youth training echelon.
These two substitutions he made can score 90 points in terms of position, timing and pertinence.
As long as the two new midfielders can perform to their normal level and rely on the personal ability of ace captain Rose, the Angel Wings will have a chance to score another goal and drag the game into overtime!
There is even a chance to score two goals in 10 minutes and take the lead - Moritz seems confident!
Seeing Moritz's substitution, Coach Carter was also very anxious.
Coach Carter knows that the defense of the Bucks Steel Horns will face a life-or-death test next time!
However, Coach Carter was not in a hurry to make substitutions.
The Bucks Steel Horns are still in the lead now, and Coach Carter can still hold the substitution card for a while longer.
If... just in case, this game is really dragged into overtime, then the effect will definitely be better if the players are replaced during overtime.
Coach Carter is also quite sophisticated.
Coach Carter stood in the rain and shouted loudly at the Bucks Steel Horns players: "The last 10 minutes! It only takes the last 10 minutes to seize your destiny! No regrets for your own youth! Fight them!" My little cubs!”
Coach Carter chose to use the spiritual PUA method to motivate his players!
As expected, the Bucks Steel Horns players all gritted their teeth!
Gu Ran wiped the rain off his face, calmly gathered his thoughts, and added another talent point to his physical attributes!
The physical attribute was immediately increased to 72 points!
——Getting closer to the level of professional players!
This new addition also brought a bit of fresh energy, which was enough to sustain the last 10 minutes.
After the Angel Wings substitutions were completed, the game resumed.
The two sides immediately started a fierce physical fight on the right side of the Bucks Steel Horns.
The 83rd minute of the match:
Rose used his balanced skills with his left and right feet to continuously pass the blind man and Hua Luo on the wing, and then directly passed the ball into the Bucks Steel Horns penalty area!
Angel Wings' striker comes in from the back again!
Gu Ran was stuck in the support channel by two strong forward players and was unable to move to support!
Seeing that the forward of Angel Wings is about to get the ball——
At the critical moment, the center back Xi Tiao bravely jumped to the top, faced the collision of the forward, took the first shot, and used his head to head the ball into the no-man's land of the midfield! ! !
At this moment, Gu Ran threw away the two defensive players who were pulling him and quickly started chasing the ball!
The stands that had been silent for a long time were instantly ignited again!
This wave of defense, full marks for Rusty Stripe!
His brave attack not only blocked the opponent's forward's shot, but also sent Gu Ran a quick counterattack!
In this rescue, Rusty Strip risked his head and neck to fight with all his strength!
While making a clearance, Xitiao collided with the forward from the opposite side, and both fell into the slippery grass and water.
After falling to the ground, Rusty Strip didn't say a word, and immediately got up from the grass and water on his hands and feet, sprinting forward like a mad bull, using his body to squeeze the Angel Wings midfielder who wanted to chase Gu Ran!
Rust Stripe 1v2!
This scene is so exciting!
More than 2,200 students and parents in the stands all shouted at the top of their lungs!
More than 200 jazz snare drumsticks on the sidelines were all broken!
The Bucks Steel Horns players on the field were already too exhausted to run, but at this moment, their adrenaline was ignited by Rusty's super-hard performance!
The entire Bucks Steel Horns team has a new energy!
Yes!
The Bucks Steel Horns are a weak team!
Yes!
From the opening to the present, the Bucks Steel Horns relied on Gu Ran's passes and shots to survive!
However, the Bucks Steel Horns never let Gu Ran fight alone!
The entire Bucks Steel Horns team fought hard!
What honor, what future, what destiny, what other lofty rhetoric... it doesn't matter at this moment!
We football players are born with passion!
When brothers sprint, I will be there!
Go, go, go!
rush----------
The entire scene was ignited by the desperate spirit of the Bucks Steel Horns!
More than 2,200 students and parents raised their arms and roared: "Fight to the bitter end! Fight to the bitter end!"
The old Bucks Steel Horns players in the stands took off their old jerseys and used them as flags to wave in the wind and rain!
At this exciting moment, the Angel Wings forward, who was knocked to the ground by the rust bar, fell to the ground in pain, covered his chest with one hand and raised his hand to complain to the referee.
Many Angel Wings players immediately raised their hands to appeal instead of pursuing the Bucks Steel Horns immediately. They believed that the referee should call a rust foul.
But the referee knew exactly what was going on. The ball was clearly tipped by Rusty Stripes into no man's land, and then his body inertia collided with the Angel Wings forward.
The referee pointed briefly at the Angel Wings goal and shouted: "It's good for the offense! It's good for the offense!"
The Angel Wings players were now panicking!
All the Angel Wings players rushed back to defense!
The Angel Wings striker, who was rolling around in the water while holding his chest, also got up with an embarrassed expression and chased back.
In just a few seconds, Gu Ran got rid of the pull of the two defensive players with lightning speed, got the ball near the midline first, drove the ball forward passionately, and penetrated the Angel Wings half. 30 meters area of the field!
…
