The passage in front of Gu Ran was completely blocked by Carragher!
Although Carragher is already 33 years old this year, and regardless of the fact that Carragher has not had a belly button since he was a child, Carragher's ability is quite powerful.
Carragher has been a student of Liverpool's Kirkby Youth Academy since he was 9 years old. He has been with Liverpool throughout his career and is an absolute loyal soul of Liverpool - although his favorite team since he was a child is Everton. Although he also has the nickname "Dean of Wulongyuan".
—— Carragher played a total of 727 games for Liverpool and scored a total of 12 goals, 5 of which were scored normally, and the other 7 were scored as own goals. Carragher is also the first player in the history of the Premier League to score a goal against Liverpool. The third most players, behind Andy Cole and Henry.
——Liverpool also has a "Vice President of the Oolong Court", the jailbreak brother Skrtel who has been substituted.
——Whether it is really hard or not, look at the Red Army Liverpool.
But having said that, even if Carragher's defensive ability is not the strongest in the Premier League, it can definitely be ranked among the top 20 in the Premier League.
Carragher is one of those players who is not very talented but is extremely hard-working and full of spirit.
On the final night of the UEFA Champions League in Istanbul in 2005, Carragher played the most glorious performance of his career in the second half and overtime and can brag about it for a lifetime.
Carragher perfectly demonstrated what an iron guard is on the court - he fought until cramps, held up Kaká, Gennaro Gattuso, Seedorf and Shevchenko, and blocked Milan's N deadly attacks.
After the two sides drew 3:3, in the 110th minute of the second half of overtime, Milan's Serginho made a low pass from the left. Carragher struggled to break the ball out of the baseline and fell to the ground in pain due to cramps.
——It’s not that Carragher’s physical fitness is too poor, but that the two sides fought too hard in the Champions League final. To put it conservatively, the intensity of the 15-minute match in the Champions League final was stronger than the intensity of the national football team’s entire game.
At this time, Liverpool had no substitutions left, and all the Red Army fans' hearts were in their throats.
In the 113th minute, Carragher relied on his strong mental will, dragged his injured leg, and made another tackle in front of the goal, blocking another deadly attack by Milan.
It was because of Carragher's hard work that Liverpool was able to go from being 3 goals behind in the first half to an absolute tie in the second half in the Champions League decisive battle in Istanbul, then seal off the opponent's attack in overtime and win through a penalty shootout. Achieved a miraculous reversal!
——This is the most classic battle in the Champions League final and the famous Istanbul Miracle.
Carragher is one of the important creators of the miracle in Istanbul in 2005.
Objectively speaking, he is indeed not the best defender, far behind Maldini, Fernandez and others, not even as good as Gary Neville, and not as good as Terry, who slept with Bridge's girlfriend.
However, Carragher can definitely be called a loyal, experienced and very hard-working defense general.
It is absolutely unwise to use your body to confront Carragher.
Carragher's body is not as strong as Glen Johnson, but once Carragher gets close to him, there is basically no chance to make a move.
But if Carragher cannot be passed, Gu Ran's opportunity for a quick counterattack will be delayed.
The other Liverpool players were also outflanking very quickly. As long as Gu Ran hesitated or timidly fought, he would be in a desperate situation.
Facing the experienced Carragher, Gu Ran behaved very calmly.
Just when he was about to rush into Carragher's face, Gu Ran suddenly slowed down and showed off a move called Matthews Shoulder Drop in front of Carragher——
All the KOPs couldn't help but exclaimed.
A rookie in League One actually dares to show off his skills in front of Carragher, a loyal soul of the Red Army!
Let alone whether he can defeat Carragher, the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers is already worthy of admiration!
Carragher was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately saw through Gu Ran's fake move!
Carragher's pursed lips curled up slightly, and his body did not follow Gu Ran's shoulder. Instead, he took the opportunity to decisively attack the ball at Gu Ran's feet!
This kick is fast and precise, but also full of a hint of arrogance!
Generally speaking, defenders will not take action easily, but Carragher dared to do so because he felt that he had completely seen through this Chinese boy!
The moment Carragher stretched out his foot, Gu Ran suddenly handed the ball to his left foot!
Carragher was shocked and quickly stopped!
If Gu Ran was tripped in the penalty area, it would be a penalty kick!
While Carragher was busy closing his foot, Gu Ran pulled the ball with his left foot, followed by a gorgeous Marseille spin, past Carragher!
"Wow!" All the Liverpool fans exclaimed in disbelief!
Combo? ? ?
Carragher himself was shocked and numb!
Carragher thought that it would be the end if he saw through Gu Ran's heavy shoulder, but he never expected that Gu Ran's heavy shoulder was just the beginning of the combo!
Gu Ran's real intention was to slow down when Matthews' shoulders were slumped, leaving room for Marseille to maneuver!
Farke...
This kid... is full of brains!
Carragher didn't have time to think too much, he immediately turned around and squeezed Gu Ran's body, and forced his feet to intercept, preventing Gu Ran from shooting!
Although he himself didn't believe that a novice left back would dare to shoot directly in his face, but experience told him that Gu Ran would definitely dare to shoot!
Carragher's legs were stretched to the extreme like a split!
But it’s still half a beat too slow!
After Gu Ran made a spin in Marseille, he avoided Carragher's reach and directed a heavy shot towards the Liverpool goal!
In such a short period of time, it is difficult for the heavy artillery to fully exert its force, but coupled with the elevation angle of the cloud-piercing arrow, it is completely sufficient!
This shot was very sudden!
Very Alan Shearer style!
Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina thought Carragher had defended Gu Ran a second ago, but this second the football was shot over like a cannonball!
In a hurry, Reina made a mistake in judgment!
Reina thought it was a low kick and immediately fell to the ground to save!
The football was like an assassin's blade, shaving over Reina's head in an instant and going straight into the top net of the goal——
Reina turned around and looked back in despair!
Football shot into the goal, the top net trembled!
The ball went in! ! !
simply! neat!
Domineering! No solution!
At this moment, the entire Anfield stadium was shocked!
The fans in the KOP stands all had their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and their faces were full of disbelief!
Gu Ran scored a goal from the wing in less than 2 minutes after being substituted!
The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid!
The score on the big screen at Anfield Stadium was immediately rewritten as Liverpool 3:1 Southampton!
68th minute of the second half!
Southampton gets a goal back!
This is Southampton's first goal of the game!
Although it was only the first one, and although it was still two behind, the shock of this goal was unparalleled! ! !
More than 40,000 Liverpool fans fell silent.
More than 5,000 Southampton fans, after a brief suffocation, completely fell into a carnival!
This goal is so wonderful, and it is a textbook defensive counterattack!
Gu Ran used his speed and strength to eat up Liverpool's talented player Ngego, and used his super high football intelligence to play with the strong man Glenn twice, and finally showed off Marseille in front of the loyal soul Carragher. Spin and add cloud-piercing arrows and heavy artillery!
Gu Ran, alone, penetrated Liverpool's entire right-side defense in 20 seconds!
In Gu Ran's debut, the first time he touched the ball, he scored!
There are so many Premier League stars in Liverpool, but they were completely abused by a rookie in League One!
The sky above the Anfield Stadium was filled with crazy shouts of "Ao Ao Ao", "Chinese Dad", and "My Boy"!
Southampton fans are finally proud!
All the previously suppressed emotions are gone!
Southampton fans hugged each other and jumped up and down excitedly in the stands at Anfield Road on the north side!
"Sing! Liverpool! Why don't you sing?"
"Hahaha! You must be so confused!"
"Gu Ran! Gu Ran! Gu Ran!"
"There is a young and handsome Chinese named Gu Ran! The tall Ngege is easily knocked over by him! The strong Glenn is played by him! Even Carragher, who has no belly button, can't stop him!"
"Even Carragher, who has no belly button, can't stop him! Can't stop him!"
Southampton fans sang the Southampton High School anthem repeatedly in unison.
The extremely ironic lyrics resounded throughout Anfield!
All the Liverpool fans were furious.
With a score of 3:1, Liverpool is still two goals ahead, and it stands to reason that Liverpool fans will not be angry.
However, Gu Ran's goal was really shocking to them!
Almost all Liverpool fans looked down upon the newbie Gu Ran before the game, and even ridiculed Gu Ran for daring to wear the No. 8 jersey.
However, as soon as Gu Ran came on the stage, he slapped them in the face with a series of extremely explosive performances!
This kid... even defeated Ngego, Glenn, and Carragher!
Single-handedly defeated Liverpool...
Isn’t it too outrageous?
Is he really a newcomer to League One?
Where did Southampton discover such a rare demon star?
Why is such a demon star not from Liverpool?
Why! ! !
All the KOP fans had complicated expressions in their eyes.
On the home team's bench, Liverpool head coach Hodgson was still sitting in his seat, frowning:
...What's going on?
Two minutes ago, it was our set-piece attack. How come in the blink of an eye, our right wing was suddenly destroyed by the No. 8 rookie?
That kid is the Gu Ran mentioned in the pre-game press conference...
That boy has something!
However, he shouldn't be such a monster!
It must be that after our 3-goal advantage, the players on the field relaxed.
Well, it must be.
Ngogo played too loosely, Glenn underestimated the opponent, Carragher was also careless, and Reina had just come on the field not long ago and was not ready yet.
It's not a big problem, we still have two goal differences, and the main offensive players such as Kuyt and Lampard have not yet played.
Now, the players on the field should also know what this kid is capable of, and they will definitely step up their surveillance.
This will certainly never happen again.
Okay, it's a friendly match. Letting the opponent score a goal can be considered as giving them some face.
Moreover, before the start of the new season, it is also good to let these players on the field suffer a little setback to tighten their spirits.
Don't panic!
A 3:1 ending is acceptable.
Hodgson relaxed his frown and smiled slightly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes -" On the other side of the visiting team's technical area, head coach Adkins pumped his fist excitedly and hugged the equally excited assistant coach Andy beside him.
The two coaches were like children, almost crying with excitement!
Although this is just a friendly match, if you can score one goal for Liverpool at the powerful Anfield Stadium, then even if you lose this game, you are already very proud!
What's more, Gu Ran's goal was beyond all of their expectations!
Coach Adkins' original expectation was that Gu Ran could guard Ngego and prevent Ngego from getting the ball on the sideline to reorganize the offense!
All he wanted was "1", but Gu Ran achieved "10"!
so perfect! More perfect than perfect!
Simply speaking, Perfect’s mother opened the door for Perfect, and Perfect was home!
For Coach Adkins, the most exciting part of the whole set of breakthrough shots is not that Gu Ran uses his speed and body to fight against the opponent, nor is it that Gu Ran cleverly cooperates with Chamberlain to fake a pass to get rid of the strong Glenn, or It wasn't Gu Ran who used a gorgeous passing move to shake Carragher away in the penalty area, nor was it Gu Ran who seized the opportunity with his cloud-piercing arrow and heavy artillery...
The most exciting thing is that Gu Ran completely explained his defensive counterattack strategy!
This also indirectly proves that his tactical strategy is absolutely correct!
There is a player who can accurately implement the head coach's tactical strategies. This is what makes Coach Adkins most excited!
As a head coach, Adkins can make players successful, but this time, it was Gu Ran who made him successful!
Coach Adkins can't wait to rush onto the court right now, hug Gu Ran and give him a good kiss!
After seeing the goal, the substitute players on the visiting team's bench jumped up excitedly and rushed to the sidelines to raise their arms and cheer Gu Ran's name!
Although they had a grudge against Gu Ran before, it was all... a misunderstanding!
That's right! What a misunderstanding!
Gu Ran's goal made the entire Southampton team proud!
Even Haldin’s younger brother Tafazzoli raised his arms and cheered excitedly!
Haldin's face was full of astonishment.
Liverpool...what are you doing?
Can't you guys guard against a newbie in League One? Are you just trying so hard to guard against me?
It's okay if he can't guard him, but you let him score the first time he touches the ball as soon as he comes on the field!
What the hell...
waste! Liverpool, you are a bunch of rubbish!
Haldin was going crazy, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only smile and applaud along with everyone.
The moment Gu Ran scored, in the main stand, the proprietress Linda jumped up excitedly, cheering with arms raised!
Other Liverpool executives all had black lines on their faces:
Our boss lady is a fan of the opposing player...
If we don't recruit this guy Gu Ran, others will definitely laugh at us in Liverpool, right?
Fortunately, there is no live media broadcast of this pre-season friendly match today...
Edwards quickly reminded in a low voice: "Ms. Linda, Ms. Linda! Pay attention to the impact! Pay attention to the impact!"
"Oh oh oh!" Linda covered her huge chest, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it."
Linda sat down with her mouth raised, her big watery eyes never moving away from Gu Ran's body.
Besides Linda, there was one other person in Liverpool who was equally excited.
That's Happy Boy, Sterling!
Sterling stood up in the stands full of Liverpool fans and excitedly shouted: "Yes! That's it! That's the feeling! It's the same as when I played in our youth team! Hahaha! It's really not me!" Ngego can't even guard him! Glenn doesn't have a temper either! Carragher can't guard him! Ouch!"
Sterling also sang along with the Southampton fans: "Even Carragher without a belly button can't stop him! Can't stop him!"
The surrounding Liverpool fans couldn't hide the way they wanted to kill Sterling.
In the stands behind the visiting team's bench, Elizabeth was even more excited and trembling all over!
This was her first time watching a game live, and also her first time seeing Gu Ran score a goal!
Although she doesn't understand football, she doesn't understand how explosive Gu Ran was when confronting Ngege, nor does she understand how clever Gu Ran is in using Chamberlain's fake pass to get rid of Glenn, nor does she understand how Gu Ran can defeat Glenn at the iron guard Kara. The Marseille slalom shot in front of her was so awesome, but she was completely submerged in the rush of adrenaline!
This kind of exciting competitive atmosphere can't be experienced no matter how many plays you perform!
Elizabeth's eyes were full of little stars, and she kept cheering and jumping in the stands to the rhythm of the Southampton fans' shouts: "Ooooo! Gu! You are so good! You shot so well!"
The saint ladies nearby all looked sideways at Elizabeth, conjuring up some indescribable images in their minds...
In the north stand, MaxxRT and others all hugged each other happily and celebrated excitedly!
Except for MaxxRT, it was the first time for several others to watch Gu Ran play live. They were originally worried that Gu Ran would have difficulty adapting to the high-intensity Premier League competition. However, unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Ran came on the stage, they felt it. Huge shock and surprise!
It's not that Gu Ran has a hard time adapting to Liverpool, but it's that Liverpool has a hard time adapting to Gu Ran!
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
"Brother Ran scored as soon as he came on the field!"
"I'm so damn excited! So proud!"
"Awesome! Brother Ran is so awesome!"
"British beauties - Gu Ran is us Chinese! We are all Chinese!"
"I have watched football for so many years, and I have only shed tears twice. Once when I watched a group of Chinese play football, and the second time when I watched a Chinese play football!"
"Gu Ran's one-stop attack is so explosive and igniting!"
"What a pity! We don't have the live broadcast rights! Otherwise, domestic fans will definitely be able to feast their eyes on it!"
"Yes, yes! Just relying on Brother Ran's goals, our live broadcast can also become popular!"
"Hey, Qiao Shan, stop following the carnival and give real-time updates to domestic fans!"
"Oh! I was so excited that I forgot to update!"
Qiao Shan, who dunked on Jordan, quickly typed blindly on his mobile phone with trembling fingers: [Goal! Gu Ran touched the ball for the first time and scored in one shot! ]
[Gu Ran passed Ngego, Glenn and Carragher in one breath and scored with a powerful shot! ]
[Sorry, brothers, words cannot describe the excitement of Gu Ran’s goal! ]
[Just wait until we get the rights to live online! Please continue to be patient! Let’s figure it out for ourselves first! ]
Domestic live broadcast forums exploded in an instant!
The live broadcast channel instantly received thousands of replies!
Deng Deng Deng Deng~
After the goal, within twenty meters around Gu Ran, the emotional bubbles of the Liverpool players fell all over the floor!
Among the many blue skill bubbles, there is actually one that glows green!
Damn it? ? ?
what's the situation?
Green bubbles?
Gu Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise!
This green light bubble was dropped by Ka Da Shou Karag!
At this moment, Carragher was standing there with his hands on his hips with a depressed face, his head was greened by the green light that he could not see.
