Seeing Gu Ran running to his position as if nothing happened, the scouts in the main stand couldn't help teasing each other easily:
"Gu Ran, this guy is so fierce!"
"Is this okay? You're so fierce that you don't look like a mortal!"
Emenalo, who was sitting in the front row, also exhaled at this time and loosened his clenched fists slightly.
Emenaro resisted the thought of taking out the scouting notes from his pocket:
Hold it! Hold it! You must hold it in!
Although Gu Ran showed at the beginning that he has strong insight, prediction ability, super high football IQ, excellent physical confrontation ability and sprint speed, as well as a desperate spirit to save the ball, super hard physical characteristics that are not easily injured, and super strong fighting spirit. ...But, I have to hold back and not show any interest!
"This kid is really interesting." Sitting next to him, Lawler straightened his body, and his originally lazy eyes became energetic.
Emenalo's heart sank, but he said with a smile on his face: "... Just average, ahem, I mean, isn't McEachlan good? Matthews' shoulders are heavy! One touch and pass The ball! The brain in the midfield and frontcourt!"
Lawler shrugged, "McEachran is indeed good, but he is facing a weak team like the Bucks. As a U17 international player, he will certainly be crushed by playing tricks on a weak team. If If you put him in the professional league, it will be difficult for him to have room to display his fancy skills. If he needs to follow the growth path of technical stream, I am afraid he will have to go through a lot of stronger training before he can have a place in the professional league. Let's put it this way, McCachran has a chance to become a star, but it's not a big one."
Emenaro thought to himself: Fak... is indeed the chief scout of Manchester United, his vision is so vicious and accurate! I hope he won't be so precise when looking at Gu Ran.
Lawler continued: "On the contrary, this kid named Gu Ran really stood out to me. His playing style is obviously not from a professional training camp, and he has a bit of a wild game, so many of his behaviors are quite unexpected. Unexpected...well, how should I put it, as a defender, it is not good to be too unexpected, but this kid has a high football intelligence, good physical condition, and dares to fight. The most important thing is that this kid has the ability of the Manchester United Red Devils. The spirit of never giving up.”
Emenaro: Oh, bah!
Lawler further commented: "If he is put in the youth team and trained for three years, and if he can grow another 8 centimeters and weigh 85 kilograms, then he can be a little Vidic in the future and contribute to Manchester United. He is used as a substitute for the first team."
Emenaro sneered loudly in his heart: Treat Gu Ran as a defender? Substitute? ignorance! madness! Just like what I originally thought! Gu Ran is a B2B pioneer! It's forward and rear position! Gu Ran will surely lead a new era! Just wait for your surprise!
Emenaro nodded at Lawler and said with a smile: "Your analysis is absolutely right, Mr. Lawler, I want to learn from you."
Lawler laughed, "I'm always very good at judging people."
At this moment, the number of people in MaxxRT’s live broadcast room has soared to 20,000!
[F*ck! Gu Ran is so greedy! ]
[I didn’t expect that we in China still have such strong players! ]
[He obviously doesn’t look strong! But it’s so powerful when fighting! Like a small tank! And it’s a small tank with a rocket engine! ]
[Gu Ran is so hardworking! That goal just now, I thought the Missionaries must have scored! As a result, he was pulled out from the goal line! ]
[Gu Ran's sprinting back and forth gave me goosebumps all over my body! ]
[666! ]
[Gu Ran was hit so hard, is he really okay? ]
[I thought he was dead, but he quickly stood up vigorously! ]
[It seems that the teammates of the Bucks Steel Horns must have said a lot of encouraging words to him! ]
[I think Gu Ran has practiced the legendary golden spear technique! ]
[Gu Ran’s save is really crucial! The Preachers team opposite looks like a professional team at first glance. If the Bucks Steelhorns score a goal in the first two minutes, it will be a nightmare start, and it will be difficult not to collapse later. Gu Ran is really the savior of the Bucks Steel Horns! It's no wonder the fans at the scene admire him so much! ]
[When those foreigners yelled at Chinese Dad, I felt so happy! ]
[Haha, me too! It turns out that foreigners can also be domesticated! ]
[This kind of competition should really be seen by those who worship foreigners and always think foreigners are noble in every aspect. They will definitely be furious! ]
[The original poster did not lie to us! This Gu Ran really sucks! I was shocked after only 2 minutes of the show! ]
[I originally wanted to go to bed after just one look, but how the hell can I sleep like this? ]
[However, one thing to say is that the Bucks Steelhorns are too bad. They were easily defeated by the opposite Missionaries team at the beginning. I am not optimistic about the next game. Gu Ran will definitely not win this game. ]
[If you can’t win, then it’s a fool’s errand! waste time! ]
Some impatient brothers quit the live broadcast room directly.
However, the total number of people in the live broadcast room has soared, exceeding 30,000 in the blink of an eye!
At this time, the game on the field resumed.
The Missionaries get a foul ball.
The Missionaries' right guard came to serve the foul ball.
The throw-in was dangerously close to the corner flag area.
The rest of the Missionaries' players aggressively penetrated the Bucks-Steelhorns' small penalty area.
The Bucks Steel Horns players struggled to use their bodies to withstand the targets they were marking.
Before the ball even came out of bounds, the physical confrontation between the two teams had already reached fever pitch.
Fans supporting the Bucks Steel Horns booed——
It stands to reason that the out-of-bounds ball taken by the Missionaries was "for nothing" because Gu Ran hit the goalpost and Ximei kicked the ball out of bounds. The Missionaries should have returned the ball to Xiong after the kick-off. The Bucks and Steelhorns were in the spirit of sportsmanship, but the Missionaries obviously didn't intend to do that.
The right winger who was forced out by Gu Ran before was actively running to the side, preparing to receive the ball.
Gu Ran kept a close eye on him, not giving him a chance to open up a gap.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Gu Ran in a short time, the right winger directly pushed Gu Ran with his hand.
The linesman was nearby but turned a blind eye and ignored it completely.
Then Gu Ran was not polite and used his elbow to push away the back of the right winger's hand, then bumped into him sideways.
The right winger was knocked away with his teeth bared.
Seeing such a confrontation, the fans of the Bucks Steel Horns cheered passionately!
The missionary's right back, who was responsible for serving the throw-in, saw that his right winger had no chance, so he immediately turned around and threw the ball to the midfielder who ran up to support him from the far end.
After the Missionary midfielder stopped the ball, he immediately made a diagonal pass into the Bucks Steel Horns penalty area.
Simei stepped in to make a defensive interception, and the Bucks Steel Horns' defense was immediately affected.
Gu Ran loudly reminded his teammates not to lose their position.
Only then did the Bucks Steel Horns maintain their arc chain defense.
The Missionaries midfielder couldn't find a breakthrough in the chain-link defense, and then transferred the ball to McKechran.
With Minato and Bread defending beside him, McKechran started quickly, stopped the ball, then stopped and turned around, instantly opening a diagonal passing channel——
By the time Minato stretched out his foot to intercept, it was already too late!
McCachran passed a high ball directly into the Bucks Steel Horns penalty area!
This is really a crushing of personal abilities!
Watergate and bread together can't prevent this British U17 international!
No. 9 Wickham, who is also a British U17 international, has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal. When McCachran passed the ball, he directly pushed away the rust bar that was guarding him with his hands, sprinted and jumped——
Rusty's physical condition is already considered top-notch among the Bucks Steel Horns, but he was unable to withstand Wickham's push and lost his defensive position!
Rusty Strip quickly stabilized his body and pursued the defense with all his strength!
But Rusty Strip has been a whole beat slower!
At the same time, Gu Ran sprinted back to the small penalty area at high speed and jumped high in the path of Wickham's heading shot——
Gu Ran's position was not good, but Gu Ran sprinted extremely fast and his momentum was extremely domineering. The pressure on Wickham was visible to the naked eye!
Wickham could not head the ball comfortably, so he could only quickly shake his head!
The football goes straight to the goal!
The goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus rex roared angrily, jumped up high and made a save with both hands——
The football passed over the Tyrannosaurus Rex's arm, brushed against the crossbar of the goal, and flew out of the end line!
Didn't get in!
"oh!"
Bucks Steel Horns fans clenched their fists in excitement in celebration!
In this game, their excitement level is very low. As long as the opponent does not score a goal, they are as happy as if they score a goal themselves.
After all...the overall strength of the Missionaries is indeed strong.
Wickham held his head and sighed in frustration.
With this ball, Wickham's sense of smell in front of the goal, escape from movement, and header all showed the top level of his age group.
If Gu Ran hadn't sprinted back to interfere with him, this goal would definitely have been scored.
This also fully proves that Gu Ran's defense is really the anchor of the Bucks Steel Horns.
Gu Ran's defensive style is obvious, but very practical.
Five and a half minutes into the game, Gu Ran has scored two must-goals for the Missionaries in a row.
Coach Platt, who was standing in the technical area on the sidelines, couldn't help but frown.
Coach Carter happily applauded and encouraged the Bucks Steel Horns players on the field, "Beautiful! Beautiful! Just play like this and hold on for dear life!"
Gu Ran walked up to Wickham and glared at him coldly, "You can't do it either."
Farke... The muscles on Wickham's face twitched!
Lamp~
A blue skill bubble was generated under Wickham's feet.
Gu Ran immediately gathered his thoughts and took a quick glance: Smell in front of the door +1.
Damn it!
This skill is good!
As a defender, it is reasonable for me to have a sense of smell in front of goal, right?
Haha, feel good, feel good!
With a thought, Gu Ran picked up "Smell in front of the door +1" from the air.
——The game continues.
The Bucks Steel Horns continued to implement the defensive strategy laid out by Coach Carter, and did not easily push the line forward without being sure.
The Missionaries continued to attack wildly.
Preacher's two full-backs frequently interspersed into the Bucks Steel Horns' 30-meter zone.
There are dangers in front of the Bucks Steel Horns' goal.
Gu Ran sprinted back and forth in his own backcourt to cover the defense, taking on the entire left wing by himself.
Ximei has the opportunity to move to the middle to help Minato and Bread defend.
The defense of the Bucks Steel Horns teetered every time under the attack of the Missionaries, which was heart-wrenching.
In the next ten minutes, Gu Ran already made 7 clearances, 4 interceptions, and 5 passes.
The Missionaries had six shots on goal, three of which were on target.
The Bucks Steel Horns only had one poor shot, and they even missed it.
Of course, the score between the two sides is still 0:0.
The Bucks Steelhorns held on to a tough start.
The game reached the 21st minute——
The missionary team's No. 10 core McKechran distributed the ball to the right side of the Bucks Steel Horns. After Olin stopped the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball from the side and McKechran took the opportunity to run into the gap behind him.
After Olin encountered the joint interception of the blind man and Hua Luo, he did not struggle. Instead, he directly crossed the ball to McEachlan, who had already run out of the gap.
McCachran dribbled the ball diagonally into the edge of the Bucks Steel Horns' penalty area, and immediately attracted an arc double-team from three Bucks Steel Horns defensive players.
Facing a dense defense, McKellen suddenly made a move from Marseille to create a passing channel and stuffed the ball in front of the goal!
The Bucks Steel Horns' right-center defense was penetrated for the Nth time!
The Tyrannosaurus rex immediately roared and rushed out to save him!
But Wickham, who has a keen sense of smell, reacted faster and shot first!
The Tyrannosaurus rex quickly stretched out its arms to intercept——
The football rubbed his fingertips and rolled into the goal at high speed!
There is no hope of saving the ball...
The ball went in!
Bucks Steel Horns fans covered their faces in pain!
The score on the big screen at the Millennium Stadium was immediately changed to Southampton Bucks Steel Horns 0:1 Westminster Missionaries.
After 21 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, the Missionaries finally achieved results.
The Missionaries' players happily ran to the visiting team's bench to celebrate with hugs and high-fives.
The Bucks Steel Horns players were a little discouraged.
This ball... they really tried their best.
The huge gap in personal abilities is an indisputable objective fact.
Head coach Carter applauded vigorously in the technical area and encouraged loudly: "Kids! You played very well! It doesn't matter if you concede one goal! Come on, come on!"
Carter's encouragement had little effect, and the morale of the Bucks Steel Horns was still in a low mood after losing the ball.
Gu Ran said to his teammates: "You guys, look at Olin's face."
The Bucks Steel Horns players looked at Olin, who was raising his hands to celebrate as if he was a villain.
——Although Olin did not assist the Missionaries in this goal, he was still involved.
The players of the Bucks Steel Horns rushed to the top instantly!
"Farke!"
"Even a dog can't get enough of him! I want to kill him!"
"We must not let Orin become arrogant!"
"Brothers, cheer up!"
"That's right! It's only one ball, hold on!"
"Kill them!"
"Ouch!"
As if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, the Bucks Steel Horns players regained their energy and quickly settled into position!
The Southampton fans and Cardiff fans at the scene were also infected by the passionate momentum shown by the Bucks Steel Horns after losing the ball, and they cheered the home team even harder!
In a warm atmosphere, the game continues!
The Bucks Steel Horns stepped up their press and confrontation.
The two sides engaged in fierce physical combat in the midfield and right wing areas.
Various minor actions that were not in compliance with regulations occurred frequently, and the referee's whistle was blown continuously.
The game reached the 37th minute——
Minato and Sissy were 35 meters away from the goal, tripping up McKellen who was carrying the ball.
The referee blew the whistle and awarded the Missionaries a free kick in the frontcourt.
The Bucks Steelers urgently lined up the wall.
McKellen took the free kick.
The scene was filled with boos and disturbances.
McCachran glanced at the goal calmly, then made a tactical pass and passed the ball to the center.
After the Missionary team's midfielder got the ball, he accelerated the ball to the top of the penalty area, and then directly shot a powerful long-range shot!
The football was blocked by Rusty's extended foot and bounced up, flying out of the end line.
The Missionaries get a corner kick.
——This is already their third corner kick in the first half.
McEachlan continued to take the corner kick on the right.
Gu Ran focused on guarding the back area.
McKellen drove the ball to the midpoint of the penalty area, and there was chaos in the penalty area——
The tall center back of the Missionaries grabbed the first shot, but he was stuck by the rust strip and his header was not on target.
The Tyrannosaurus rex jumped up and threw the ball away.
The painter grabbed the second shot in time and was about to make a big save, but was pulled down to the ground by Olin with a small move.
Wickham picked up the opportunity and followed up with a follow-up shot!
The football hit the goal from a small angle in the chaos!
The distance was too close, and the Tyrannosaurus rex had no time to react——
The ball went in!
The referee blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid!
In the 39th minute of the first half, Wickham scored twice!
This goal also brought Wickham's number of goals in this national competition to 9! On par with Gu Ran and Qiao Li!
——The battle for the top scorer is full of suspense!
The Missionaries players happily gathered around to celebrate.
The Bucks Steel Horns players gathered around the referee to complain - for the missionary team's goal, if Olin hadn't pulled down the painter who had already got the ball in the penalty area, Wickham would not have had a chance. Pick up the missed shot!
The referee ignored the Bucks Steel Horns' appeal and insisted on his penalty!
Bucks Steelhorns fans booed angrily, and some radical fans even threw mineral water bottles at the Missionaries.
Coach Carter irritably cursed in the technical area!
The referee showed Coach Carter a yellow card!
The scene suddenly became chaotic!
The second goal conceded was really unfair!
The referee's penalty has a very obvious tendency!
Conceding two goals in a row in the first half, this was a really big blow to the Bucks Steel Horns!
Especially the goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus Rex, who knelt in front of the goal in self-reproach, the 191cm tall man's eyes filled with tears of frustration.
At this moment, the Bucks Steel Horns' dream of winning the championship became unreal.
In the north stands, the fans from Southampton also had faces full of pain and depression.
They knew that the strength gap between the two teams was huge, and they also saw that the Bucks Steel Horns players were working hard, but they conceded two goals in the first half. Such a score was really sad and desperate.
Sophie leaned sadly in Sally's arms and almost cried.
Sally patted Sophie and said, "Gu Ran must be feeling very uncomfortable now, right? After the game is over, you must comfort Gu Ran."
Sophie nodded vigorously.
Teacher Maria on the other side of the stand bit her lip and murmured: "Gu, don't be sad. I will definitely comfort you when the game is over..."
At the same time, in the main stands, scouts from small clubs shook their heads and sighed.
"Alas, after all, one person cannot save the whole team."
"Yes, although this goal is a bit unfair, the Bucks Steel Horns are really weak. Even with a player as strong as Gu Ran, the Bucks Steel Horns cannot win."
“I predict the Missionaries will score at least two more goals.”
"I agree. So far in the game, the two U17 international players of the Missionaries have performed very well. The Bucks have absolutely no way to restrict them. Gu Ran also sacrificed his offensive attributes for defense and failed to perform. space."
"Actually, it's pretty good that the Bucks Steel Horns have been able to hold on for so long."
"Yes, such a bad team, which was originally unable to even appear in the group stage, actually made it all the way to the finals of the national competition. Based on this alone, the Bucks Steel Horns are already worthy enough."
In the front seat, Emenaro smiled and said to Lawler: "Mr. Lawler, McKechran and Wickham performed well."
Lawler sneered, "It's not even close! Two U17 national players, playing in a weak amateur team, haven't beaten the set yet. If I were their coach, I would have started complaining. I'm more and more Lai Yue feels that this kid Gu Ran is interesting... He seems to have something different. Although his defense is good, I feel that if he is pushed to the front, his football intelligence and sprint value can be better utilized. Come on quickly."
Emenaro's heart sank, "...Really? Can't?"
Lawler chuckled, "Of course, this is just my personal feeling. For now, Gu Ran cannot meet Manchester United's requirements at all - Manchester United's selection standards are very high, even those two The U17 international team also cannot meet Manchester United's requirements for the time being."
Emenaro smiled happily: "That's that, that's..."
In MaxxRT’s live broadcast room, fans are also making constant complaints:
[What a bad team the Bucks Steelhorns are! ]
[Conceded two goals in the first half, and there was no sense of offense at all! That sucks! ]
[Gu Ran has absolutely no room to show off. ]
[It made me anxious and angry, and I didn’t want to watch it anymore! ]
[The poster praised Gu Ran too much, but now it seems that Gu Ran is actually quite ordinary. ]
[Nothing interesting, just go to sleep! ]
Many water friends quit the live broadcast room.
The total number of people in the live broadcast room is also stuck at 35,000, with almost no growth.
At this moment, the Bucks Steel Horns players on the field also lowered their heads, and their morale dropped to the bottom.
Coach Carter also received a yellow card for protesting.
The Preachers team opposite was strong, but the referee was biased.
Conceding two goals in a row in this situation is really difficult to come back.
Gu Ran took a deep breath, and the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more intense.
...It’s not over yet!
Isn't it a special headwind situation?
I will become a football superstar in the future, so this headwind is nothing! ! !
Gu Ran walked up to the Tyrannosaurus Rex who was kneeling on the ground and slapped the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the back, "Why are you crying? It's not over yet! It's not too late to cry again after we win!"
"win?"
The Tyrannosaurus looked up at Gu Ran in disbelief, trying to make sure he was joking.
After seeing Gu Ran's firm eyes, Tyrannosaurus Rex was immediately infected and his fighting spirit was rekindled!
Tyrannosaurus Rex stood up from the turf and stood back in front of the goal in high spirits.
Gu Ran walked up to Hua Luo, who looked depressed, and said, "You, go to the left."
"Ah?" Hua Luo opened her mouth wide, "Gu... this... I can't do it!"
Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "I know you can't do it, but I can."
Hua Luo hissed.
He didn't feel any insult, because what Gu Ran said was the truth!
Instead, he felt a brand new hope!
Hua Luo nodded vigorously, "Gu, kill Olin!"
"I will."
The two high-fived! Swap places!
…
