Seeing that Kuyt gave up cutting inside, Gu Ran immediately accelerated and rushed out, pressing his body against Kuyt!
Kuyt is extremely fast, but Gu Ran's follow-up speed is even faster!
Such continuous sprints consume a huge amount of physical energy.
Gu Ran feels that his physical exertion is greater than that of playing in the amateur team for most of the game.
However, this kind of hard work also made his adrenaline surge and his body extremely excited!
The opponent is Liverpool's full set of main players!
In his previous life, he was a star that could only be seen on TV and in the news!
It’s so cool to play against these stars!
The two made two quick attacks and defenses in just three seconds, both of which were evenly matched!
The more Kuyt plays, the more surprised he becomes, while the more Gu Ran plays, the more confident he becomes!
Kuyt saw that he had brought the ball to the end line, but he still couldn't get rid of Gu Ran. He could only feint, then quickly kick up and force a high pass!
Gu Ran immediately jumped up to defend, but unfortunately he was still a little behind!
The football almost flew to the penalty area against Gu Ran's hair——
This is partly due to lack of experience in competitions, and partly due to insufficient basic defensive skills. Of course, it is also partly due to the fact that Kuyt is indeed very strong.
A grassroots player who has never been to a professional youth training camp was able to defend Kuyt twice in his first professional debut without being able to break through. This is actually very powerful.
The fans in the stands were all stunned.
Fans on both sides couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Under Gu Ran's pressure, Kuyt's pass was passed out this time, but the quality was not good and it did not make any sense.
Knowledgeable fans can understand at a glance that Kuyt forced a pass to save face. After all, if he didn't pass it, he would be forced out of the end line by a "pure novice in English League One".
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that the offensive and defensive duel between Kuyt and Gu Ran was won by Kuyt's quick cross, but in fact, Kuyt's offensive level was suppressed by Gu Ran and only played 30%. .
For Kuyt, the Premier League's top star and one of the top 10 most versatile players in the world, this is tantamount to failure.
The placement of this cross was not good enough. In order to pursue a high arc to avoid Gu Ran, the ball was driven relatively high and not very fast.
However, Gerrard's response in the penalty area is worthy of the legendary G8. When Kuyt passed the ball, Gerrard first got rid of it in the opposite direction, getting rid of Walton and Jaidi who were closely marking him, and then directly He ducked in front of the door, jumped up and looked back at the moon——
This header shot is very beautiful. When the body is in front and the ball is not strong enough, it is forced to turn the head and hit the far corner of the goal!
This is definitely a world-class shot!
Fortunately, goalkeeper Davis predicted the ball's first landing point, struck in advance, and caught the moment Gerrard had just touched the ball, raising his hand to block the football in the ultimate way!
The football hit Davis' glove, and most of the force was immediately removed.
But Davis couldn't hold the ball firmly with one hand!
Under the breathless gaze of everyone, the football... passed over the ball beam and popped out of the end line!
thrilling! Stimulate!
Liverpool fans covered their heads and howled.
Jerad also smiled with a wrinkled face and shook his head.
——Having just finished playing in the World Cup, he has just gone through a vacation, and he has just started playing. His condition is indeed not fully adjusted.
Southampton fans cheered excitedly!
Southampton's defense is a joy to watch! They are really playing at the level of a Premier League team!
Davis' performance was very good, but what was even more impressive was Gu Ran's passionate scene against Kuyt alone!
If it weren't for Gu Ran's three-way defense against Kuyt, the suppressed Kuyt could only play 30% of his offensive level. The ball must not be so loose. Gerrard would definitely be able to touch the ball and shoot at a more dangerous time. David Si Ye simply couldn't defend the ball.
After saving Gerrard's ball, Davis raised his arms and roared excitedly. He immediately ran to Gu Ran and held Gu Ran's face hard to celebrate!
In Gu Ran's heart, there were ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping past...
There is no way, although his mental age is older than any player on the field, but his body is only 17 years old, making him the youngest player on the field.
It's normal to have your head and face rubbed.
Southampton's female fans screamed at the top of their lungs, eager to replace Davis, and they personally rubbed Gu Ran's head.
This wave of successful defense has also given Southampton players a huge morale boost!
The Southampton team went from dying to reviving, and Gu Ran has the greatest credit!
However, the crisis is not over yet!
After Davis celebrated briefly, he quickly ran back to the goal to set up defense.
Liverpool won a corner kick based on the attack just now.
Gu Ran also followed the pre-game drill and stood in front of the left goal post to take a defensive position.
Although Liverpool got a corner kick, Gu Ran did not fail in the one-on-one process. Liverpool's top striker Kuyt also prevented Kuyt's fatal cross. As a newcomer to the English League One, this wave The defensive performance can definitely score above 90 points!
Kuyt looked at Gu Ran very depressedly, and then a blue skill bubble was generated under his feet.
Gu Ran quickly gathered his thoughts to check:
God-level movement: King of picking up leaks +1!
Damn it!
This is still a star-level skill!
This star skill also comes with a system introduction: within five steps, any omissions will be picked up.
Damn it!
This is so cool!
This is a typical second striker's magical skill!
Although I am only a left back, a defender who does not want to be a forward is not a good midfielder!
Gu Ran immediately and calmly picked up the air bubble at Kuyt's feet.
There are still two pick-up progresses on the field today!
Next, it depends on Gerrard!
At this time, Gerrard walked calmly to the corner kick area, raised his head full of wrinkles and looked at his position in the penalty area, and his eyes fell on Gu Ran.
Gu Ran looked back at Gerald calmly, and the blood in his body boiled uncontrollably.
This was Gu Ran's first direct visual confrontation with Gerrard on the court!
Gerrard's powerful mental power penetrated half of the field, oppressing him like a raging sea.
However, Gu Ran was not afraid at all, only excited about "Come here."
The corner of Gerald's mouth slightly raised a smile that tasted like bun folds.
Immediately afterwards, Gerrard suddenly took a run and kicked off the ball!
Bang!
Football is extremely powerful, extremely fast, and its arcs are extremely violent!
Moreover, this ball was aimed at Gu Ran.
Gerrard's intention was clear - to hit Southampton's defensive weakness.
Gerrard judged that as a newcomer to the Southampton team, Gu Ran must have had less training in defending set pieces and had insufficient experience in handling dangerous balls. Once Gu Ran panicked and was at a loss when facing this corner kick, then the ball would basically be lost. There it is.
The moment Gerrard took the kick, the engineer Maxi who was ambushing in the middle and front of the penalty area also started to move at the same time, rushing towards the landing point of Gerrard's kick - or to put it more bluntly, Maxi slammed into Gu Ran with all his strength!
Facing Gerrard's corner kick and Maxi's collision, Gu Ran didn't panic at all!
Gu Ran simply ignored Maxi and jumped to the top like an onion on dry land!
The bouncing attribute is not enough, so "Header +2" can make up for it!
After being prepared, Gu Ran jumped very high——
Boom!
The football hit Gu Ran hard on the forehead, and was immediately pushed out of the end line by Gu Ran.
The power of this kick was too great. Although Gu Ran was fully prepared mentally and physically, his body still lost his balance in mid-air!
At this moment, Maxi also rushed forward extremely roughly, and had no intention of holding back at all!
Bang!
Gu Ran lost his balance and was hit hard against the steel goalpost by Maxi!
The goal post moved slightly sideways, and the entire goal buzzed and trembled!
Gu Ran and Maxi both fell to the ground!
"wooooow!"
All the fans at the scene screamed in surprise.
The next second, Maxi stood up with a grin on his face and spread his palms with an apologetic expression.
Of course, his apology was not sincere at all. His collision even hurt him badly.
Before Gu Ran could stand up, other Southampton players surrounded Gu Ran who fell to the ground.
The Southampton fans suddenly became worried, and some Southampton fans booed loudly in dissatisfaction.
MaxxRT and others sitting in the Anfield Road stands on the north side were all anxious:
"Fuck! Maxi must have done it on purpose!"
"Aren't these guys too cruel?"
"Oh, there is no way. The competition at the Premier League level is so brutal, so to play in the Premier League, you must have a good body."
"Brother Ran, you don't know what's going on?"
"If this is an injury...I'm afraid I will be reimbursed for the rest of the preseason."
Qiao Shan, who dunked on Jordan, posted with a solemn face: [At the 81st minute of the game, Gerrard took a corner kick from the left. After Gu Ran successfully pushed the ball over the end line, he was hit by Maxi and hit the goal post. At present...the extent of the injury is unknown! ]
As soon as this announcement came out, domestic Tieba forums immediately exploded.
[F*ck! No! ]
[We finally got a young player who is good overseas, but we can’t just die young! ]
[I would trade the length of my ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend in exchange for Gu Ran being safe and sound! ]
[If you want to say that, I am totally willing! ]
[Gu Ran, come on! ]
[It’s really frustrating that I can’t watch the live broadcast to cheer Gu Ran! ]
At this time, in front of the Southampton goal, amid the chaos, Gu Ran struggled to stand up, briefly shook his neck and shoulders, and signaled to the referee that he was fine.
Southampton fans exploded instantly!
The Liverpool fans were dumbfounded with shock and envy!
You know, a big reason why Liverpool lost all four majors last season is that Liverpool's medical room has been full for a long time. Either this player is injured, or that player is injured.
The most famous one is Liverpool’s Glass Man, Biscuit Aurelio.
In terms of strength level, Aurelio is definitely the top left back in La Liga and the Premier League. He needs speed, technique, footwork, and awareness - he just doesn't have a body. If the opponent targets it, it will be broken at the first touch.
How good is Aurelio glass?
A small sprain during a training confrontation will require a five-month layoff.
When I played football with the children, I would get kicked and injured by the children, and I was injured for more than a month.
Liverpool's former coach Rafael Benitez once purged Aurelio in anger. Fortunately, before he could be completely purged, Benitez dismissed get out of class and replaced him with Hodgson to coach Liverpool. Lelio thus escaped the great purge.
As for the same left back, Gu Ran was so young, and it was his first appearance in a professional match. He was hit on the forehead by Gerrard's heavy ball and was out of balance, and was collided by the engineer Maxi Bull. After a moment... Aurelio would have lost half his life, but Gu Ran stood up on his own after lying down for less than 10 seconds!
So hard!
So hard!
If such a tough left back were from Liverpool, then Liverpool would be able to win the Premier League championship this season!
Not only the Liverpool fans looked at Gu Ran with eyes lit up, but also the Liverpool executives in the main stand could not help but make secret calculations in their hearts.
They had all watched Gu Ran play against the Liverpool U18 team, and Gu Ran's extraordinary performance at that time left an indelible impression on them.
However, they finally stopped because of Gu Ran's relatively "high" transfer fee.
Most of these senior people believe that spending 5 million pounds to buy a grassroots player who has not been trained in a professional youth academy and does not have any professional game data is a bad deal. As can be seen from today's game Come on, Gu Ran's transfer value is far more than 5 million pounds.
If only Linda had had the courage to buy Gu Ran in one go...
Liverpool's top brass felt a little regretful.
Now it is impossible to spend 5 million pounds to buy Gu Ran.
Gu Ran... so hard!
The female fans roared wildly!
Not only the female fans of Southampton went crazy, but also the female fans of Liverpool drooled with envy!
Southampton's defensive players all ran over to care about Gu Ran's injury. After confirming that Gu Ran was indeed fine, they all touched Gu Ran's black hair in a friendly manner.
Although his teammates initially rejected this grassroots rookie who was worth more than them, with training, open classes, and this pre-season friendly match, Gu Ran's shots and passes that turned the tide, most of his teammates were attracted to him. Gu Ran agreed.
Gu Ran, with his own strength and hard work for the team, proved that he is indeed worthy of this price.
Especially Lambert and Lallana, who have cooperated with Gu Ran, agree with Gu Ran even more.
The feeling of being fed balls by Gu Ran was so delicious.
Team doctor Mai Fu breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Ran was okay, "This is all due to the many medical tests and medical maintenance I have done for Gu Ran."
The physiotherapist Gregory said: "Thanks to my fascia knife technique, Gu Ran became so hard."
Nutritionist Loina said: "It's obviously my food and drinks that made Gu Ran become so hard."
The exclusive coach Jacob was not to be outdone, "It was obviously my Real Madrid style strength training that made Gu Ran become so hard."
Behind the visiting team's bench, Elizabeth gasped excitedly, "Oh! It must be because I massaged Gu Ran's whole body last night!"
Only Gu Ran's personal assistant Rick said quietly: "Have you ever thought about it, Gu Ran is actually very tough..."
After Qiao Shan, who dunked on Jordan, celebrated excitedly, he hurriedly posted on his mobile phone: [Brothers, guess what? Gu Ran stood up! Gu Ran was too hard - Gu Ran hit the doorpost, Gu Ran was fine, but the doorpost was broken by Gu Ran! ]
[F*ck! ]
[Is it too much? ]
[Sounds like fake! ]
[I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, unless I see with my own eyes how Gu Ran scratched the goalpost! ]
[I have a friend who wants to borrow one to talk to! ]
[Hahaha! Are those foreigners stupid? ]
Domestic Tieba forums are also excited.
Although I couldn't see what was going on at the scene, and although Qiao Shan's explanation was too general, this is good news after all!
At this time, after the goal underwent simple technical repairs, the game resumed.
Liverpool is ready to take a second corner kick.
Southampton quickly set up their defensive position.
Gu Ran was still standing in the front goalpost area, looking at Gerald with extremely firm eyes.
Although we can't say who won or lost in the air showdown just now, Gu Ran's limelight and influence had actually surpassed Gerald's.
Gu Ran's forehead, neck, shoulders, arms, back, and waist all hurt.
After hitting the doorpost, all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.
Fortunately, his physical foundation is not bad, and he has Lampard's Tin Man +5 body protection.
Otherwise, he would have to die this time.
The confrontation in the professional league is indeed terrifying.
Moreover, the better you perform on the court, the easier it is to be targeted.
This is not a personal grudge, this is a journey that all top stars will inevitably go through.
This is just a friendly match with a giant Premier League team, but it has already been targeted so strongly - the Premier League giants are shameless after all, and even if their actions are large, they cannot be considered vicious and vicious. After all, there are rich clubs. face.
And when it comes to English League One and the English Championship, this kind of malicious physical targeting will become even more severe.
Therefore, correcting your mentality is the first priority.
Secondly...the physical attributes still need to be strengthened.
Even if the side effects are obvious.
Gu Ran sighed quietly in his heart, and then smiled at Gerald from the distance.
The wrinkles on Gerald’s forehead became deeper.
Gerrard took a deep breath, raised his hands to his teammates, then accelerated his run and gave a powerful kick!
The football is like a supercharged cannonball, drawing a violent arc in mid-air!
This time, Gerrard chose to avoid Gu Ran's "bug" point and passed the ball to the most densely populated area in the middle of the penalty area.
Maxi pressed Lambert to take off and grabbed the first landing spot!
Maxi took a kick across the chaos, avoiding Schneiderlin's tackle, and then turned around and hit the door with a heavy kick!
