The opening is less than 3 minutes.
Gu Ran directly moved into the central midfielder position, cooperated with Lallana to double-team, actively sought physical confrontation, and continuously pushed away two Notts County defensive players who came to support, assisting Lallana to steal the ball from Notts County.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran and Lallana performed a very skillful and cruel one-on-one.
Gu Ran dribbled the ball into the penalty area, involving Notts County's defense. Then he used a magic lamp to guide the way and neatly stuffed the ball into the small penalty area!
Connolly pulled out, stopped the ball, turned around, and fired a powerful shot towards the goal!
Notts County's 27-year-old goalkeeper Rob Boch, who is 188cm and 83kg, jumped across the body and blocked the ball from the end line.
"Wow!" almost the entire St. Mary's Stadium sighed.
This kick was very exciting, but it was a pity that Connolly's game state had not warmed up yet, and his speed when stopping the ball and turning around dropped by half a beat.
The lack of depth in high-intensity games will indeed affect the state.
Connolly couldn't help but shook his head, dissatisfied with his own expression, and then applauded Gu Ran who gave him a wonderful through ball.
Gu Ran also applauded Connolly.
Southampton gets a corner kick.
Amid the cheers of Southampton fans, Lallana took a corner kick on the right.
The corner kick went to the outside, and Schneiderlin held up a Notts County midfielder and stretched out his foot first to shoot!
Goalkeeper Rob Bochy made a hasty save, but Notts County captain Nell Bishop headed the ball clear on the goal line.
This clearance ball is thrilling!
Southampton fans sighed again!
But the ball isn't dead yet.
Before the Notts County players had time to celebrate that they had survived the catastrophe, they saw Gu Ran seize a second offensive opportunity with his ghostly movement!
Gu Ran perfectly stopped the ball with his back foot at close range——
Goalkeeper Rob Bochy and captain Nell Bishop scrambled to double-team -
Gu Ran suddenly made a quick move in a small area. When he handed the ball to his right foot, Gu Ran did another Matthews shoulder drop, and at the same time, he quickly poked the ball towards the far corner of the goal with his toes!
Strengthen the crotch penetration +1!
The king of leak picking +1!
Almost in an instant, goalkeeper Rob Bochy was shaken away, and Nell Bishop was directly pierced in the crotch!
Gu Ran's whole set of movements was so fast that it was dizzying!
Before anyone had time to react, the football rolled lightly into the net!
The ball went in!
4 minutes into the game! Southampton 1:0 Notts County!
Gu Ran scored a goal at the beginning!
The entire St. Mary's Stadium was roaring and the drums were beating loudly!
Southampton has had a fantastic start at home!
After scoring the goal, Gu Ran happily ran around the field with one palm to strike the wind, stacking buffs for himself.
There were many fans in the Ran live broadcast room who were watching Gu Ran play live for the first time. They were all shocked.
This physical confrontation, this stoppage, this calmness, this anticipation, this golf intelligence, these technical details, instantly conquered the new fans!
All kinds of barrages and gifts are flooding the screen!
The two mysterious Chinese guests in the VIP room couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment, watching the slow-motion replay on the big screen in disbelief.
The game continues.
Notts County strengthened its defense, but the Saints, who were playing at home, had no intention of letting the Magpies go.
The 15th minute of the game.
Notts County's several short passes and runs were unable to penetrate Southampton's midfield defense. In desperation, Notts County could only pass the ball back to the backcourt to seek opportunities.
As the left back, Gu Ran broke out in an instant, violently sprinting, Son of the Wind, and King of Highbury at full speed, rushing directly to press.
The Notts County players went crazy.
They really don't understand that a left back can't stand guard in the left backcourt and actually runs ahead of the forward. This kind of playing style is simply unreasonable!
Under Gu Ran's strong pressure, the Notts County midfielder hurriedly stepped out, but his teammates failed to respond in time and the football flew out of bounds.
Southampton relied on Gu Ran's hard work and won a foul ball within the thirty-meter area of the front court.
Notts County players quickly retreated into the penalty area to defend.
Southampton's players all passed half-time.
Right back Fante is ready to serve the throw-in.
Gu Ran ran over and asked Fang Te for the ball. Fang Te shrugged and handed the ball to Gu Ran.
Seeing Gu Ran coming to throw the throw-in from the right, all the Southampton fans at the scene couldn't help laughing.
Almost everyone, of course, is young and loves to play.
But for Gu Ran, he was serious - strengthening the powerful throw-in +2, he couldn't let it go to waste.
Gu Ran held up the ball and loudly signaled the players to press into the penalty area.
After a moment of hesitation, the teammates then penetrated into the Notts County penalty area.
Two tall central defenders also stood near the midpoint of the penalty area.
Gu Ran lifted up the jersey and wiped the ball on the jersey to prevent it from slipping.
Gu Ran's strong abdominal muscles were immediately exposed, and several over-excited female fans fainted in the stands.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran took three big steps back and used the running-up throwing method.
There are two methods of throw-in, one is the in-situ throw-in, and the other is the run-up throw-in.
The in-situ foul ball is thrown from a shorter distance, but the serve is fast and the landing point is accurate enough. It is generally used during fast breaks.
The run-up throw-in relies on the inertia of sprinting, using the core strength of the waist and abdomen to drive the upper limbs as leverage for long-distance throwing.
Therefore, the accuracy of the run-up throw-in will be relatively poor, but the distance is far enough.
Gu Ran started with a sprint. The first two steps were normal, and the last step was a long stride. His front foot was firmly stationed outside the boundary line, and his body was as tight as a bow. He was like a teenager when he took the penalty of the Full Moon Scimitar. In the posture of "full bow", the waist and shoulders exert force at the same time instantly, and the ball is thrown at an elevation angle of 35 degrees with both arms!
Strengthen the powerful throw-in +2!
Vigorously miracle!
"wooooooow!"
Southampton fans who originally thought Gu Ran was just "playing for fun" were immediately shocked by the power of Gu Ran's throw-in!
They had only seen Gu Ran's abilities and skills in his lower limbs. Today was the first time they saw Gu Ran's abilities and skills in his upper limbs!
Seeing the long flight path of this foul ball, many old Saints fans couldn't help but shout: "Drap! Delap!"
"Strategic Grenade, Popeye" Rory John Delap was a former Southampton player and an iconic throw-in kicker. His throw-ins frightened countless opponents.
The Southampton period was not Delap's highlight period. He moved to Sunderland in 2005 and Stoke City in 2007. When Delap met Tony Pulis, the father of throw-in tactics, The entire Premier League has gone crazy with them.
Coach Tony Pulis used the throw-in as a corner kick, and Delap's super waist and abdominal strength and upper body strength just gave coach Tony Pulis the opportunity to implement the throw-in tactic.
Coach Tony Pulis did not just let Delap take the throw-in, but used Delap's strategic grenade throw-in as the core of the tactics. The whole team was playing around this style of play, creating various throw-ins. The ball is then taken as a corner kick.
This style of play made the always gentle coach Wenger furious and even suggested abolishing throw-ins.
It can be said that the pressure of Delap's throw-in is no less than that of his contemporary Beckham's direct free kick.
At this moment, Anthony Pulis, the son of coach Tony Pulis, is on the court.
Anthony Pulis looked at the big arcing foul ball thrown by Gu Ran with astonishment on his face, his eyes full of the shadow of his father...
This foul ball was at least 30 meters away and hit the small penalty area directly!
The landing point of this ball is extremely precise. It is to find a high point in the middle. It is simply a fixed-point bombing!
The Notts County players were all dumbfounded!
The 192cm central defender Saville, who was playing for the first time, jumped up to meet the ball in the chaos and hit his head with a headbutt——
The football hit the goal line and bounced into the net!
The ball went in!
In the 18th minute of the game, Gu Ran assisted Southampton with a "Popeye"-style super-long throw-in to expand the score!
The whole place went crazy!
Savile, a 19-year-old young player who scored 1 goal on his debut, knelt down to Gu Ran excitedly!
Gu Ran himself is also very happy. Strengthening the powerful throw-in +2 is really good. It can be used as a tactical point to open up the situation in the future!
There are also various barrages in the Ran live broadcast room:
"Damn it! What a strategic grenade!"
"It's so cruel! From such a long distance, the landing point is so precise!"
"With a little more force, you can throw it in directly, right?"
"Don't! Throwing the foul ball directly in will be disallowed."
"Not to mention, in history, there are people who were directly thrown in, and it was Popeye Delap who did it. But at the time, the opponent's goalkeeper was confused, and the referee was also confused. The goalkeeper did not appeal, and the referee also made a misjudgment. , the goal was not ruled invalid, so it became the only case in history where a goal was directly scored from a foul ball."
"Damn it, there really is!"
"Gu Ran's waist and abdominal strength and upper body strength are so awesome!"
"Gu Ran has such strength in her waist and abdomen, let alone a woman, even a grown man like me would drool after seeing it!"
"I feel like Gu Ran can definitely change his profession... I'm talking about basketball!"
"Damn it! I thought you were talking about... volleyball!"
"Hahahaha! Gu Ran's fans are so pure!"
The game continues!
In the 25th minute, Notts County passed the ball diagonally to Southampton's right rib after a series of short passes.
Anthony Plisca made a mistake and missed the ball. Notts County forward, 34-year-old veteran, No. 9 player Lee Hughes, took the ball in the penalty area and cut inward horizontally, before the two central defenders closed the door and double-teamed him. Footshot——
The ball hit the side netting and bounced off the end line.
The Notts County fans immediately covered their faces and lamented.
This was Notts County’s first shot so far in the first half.
The game continues.
In the 33rd minute, Southampton's backcourt started with a long pass from goalkeeper Davis to the center. Gu Ran physically carried the Notts County player away. After stopping the ball perfectly, he immediately transferred the ball to Schneiderlin on the right.
Schneiderlin pulled to the side and knocked back to Gu Ran, who had broken away from the defense and crossed into the frontcourt.
Gu Ran touched the ball, stuck to the ground and pointed the way, and fed the ball to Connolly, who had penetrated into the penalty area!
Connolly stopped the ball and turned around to hit the goal——
The football was slightly over the goal frame.
The Southampton fans at the scene lamented again.
Connolly also shook his head at his own performance.
He has already spit out two Gu-style cakes and has not yet found the state to shoot.
In the 40th minute of the game, Gu Ran successfully intercepted the ball in his own backcourt, dribbled the ball along the left wing, blasted all the way, and passed to Lallana, who had already taken a posture in the penalty area.
Lallana flicked the header - unfortunately the ball was headed too straight. The opponent's hurried goalkeeper Rob Bochy let go of the ball with his first save and then suppressed the ball with his second save.
Southampton's offensive was overwhelming, but it was a pity that they failed to score three consecutive good goals.
At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at Southampton 2:0 Notts County.
Gu Ran had 1 pass and 1 shot, and had many confrontations, interceptions and fatal crosses. His running distance was the highest in the game, shining throughout the St. Mary's Stadium.
The fans at the scene happily sang "There is a young and handsome oriental man named Gu Ran." The beautiful cheerleaders of Gu Ran's global fan club also danced the cancan dance to the music.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
Notts County has obviously strengthened its physical confrontation, but in front of Southampton, which has a Premier League foundation, Notts County's confrontational nature is obviously not enough.
In the 49th minute, Southampton forced a left corner kick.
Lallana drove the ball to the forward point. Gu Ran ran quickly to get rid of the two Notts County players who were defending him. He knocked the ball with his back heel and passed the ball to Anthony Pulis on the outside of the penalty area.
Anthony Pulis was eager to make a contribution and hit the goal with a heavy shot from long range.
The football hit a Notts County defender, bounced high into the air above the penalty area, and then fell vertically.
Gu Ran made a ghostly movement and headed the ball to Connery, who was in a better position.
Connery relayed the header and hit the moon with a powerful shot!
Rob Bochy made a diving interception——
The football grazed the upper edge of Rob Bochy's arm and flew into the net!
The ball went in!
Connery finally scores!
Under Gu Ran's continuous pie-paying, Connery, who was in poor competitive form, finally got it!
After scoring the goal, Connery excitedly held Gu Ran's neck and forced Gu Ran to his chest to celebrate!
Southampton fans are full of emotions!
The Notts County team was about to be defeated - before the game, they also knew that this game would be difficult to play, but they never expected that this game would be completely crushed and slaughtered.
The game continues!
In the 53rd minute of the game, the Notts County team seized on Southampton's wing vulnerability. No. 9 forward veteran Lee Hughes took the ball and knocked the ball across to No. 11 forward Fabian Brandy in the middle of the penalty area.
Fabian Brandi is a graduate of Manchester United's youth training. He is 21 years old and only 168cm tall, but he is extremely fast and has strong interspersed movement ability.
He originally had a great future in the Manchester United echelon and could be considered a young genius. However, because he was too short and never grew taller, and he was often injured, he was unable to be promoted to the Manchester United first team.
After Fabian Brandi got the ball, he exploded into full gear. He used his chassis advantage to shake off Southampton's two high school defenders, dribbled the ball directly in front of the goal, and shot!
Goalkeeper Davis reacted very quickly, lying down and blocking the ball out of the end line with his fingers!
Fabian Brandy looked up at the goal and sighed.
This wave of offense from Notts County really frightened Southampton fans!
Fortunately, captain Davis is very capable - to be the captain, Davis definitely has two skills.
This attack was also Notts County's second goal of the game.
Notts County also received a corner kick.
The Notts County team had no high points and could only take corner kicks to the outside looking for opportunities to pull.
Gu Ran directly pushed forward, took advantage of physical confrontation, intercepted the ball in one fell swoop, and then quickly knocked the ball to Lallana!
Lallana took the ball and turned around to dribble the ball towards the rib area.
The Notts County team quickly returned to intercept Lallana.
Gu Ran took the opportunity to rush along the middle road.
Notts County's on-the-spot tactics were obviously too rigid, and they actually allowed Gu Ran to advance forward with almost no hindrance.
Lallana made an emergency stop to get rid of the double-team interception of two Notts County players and handed the ball back to Gu Ran.
After Gu Ran got the ball, the Son of the Wind and the King of Highbury opened up, dribbling the ball between the two defenders and making a single shot at full speed!
All the Southampton fans jumped up from their seats, shouting and cheering!
Notts County's defense simply couldn't catch up with Gu Ran!
Goalkeeper Rob Boch tackled the interception with a nervous look on his face——
Gu Ran didn't slow down at all, and with a high-speed Marseille spin, he passed the goalkeeper beautifully and pushed towards the empty goal!
The ball went in!
The score on the big screen was rewritten as Southampton 4:0 Notts County!
This is Gu Ran's second goal in this game!
It is also his 6th goal in the English top scorer list!
All the Southampton fans were shouting Gu Ran's name in Chinese!
Coach Adkins on the sidelines applauded Gu Ran vigorously.
According to Coach Adkins's idea, now that the overall situation has been decided, Gu Ran should be able to be taken off the field to rest in a protective manner. However, today's game is Southampton's first home game of the new season, and the fans at the scene are naturally excited. He wanted to see Gu Ran play the entire game, so Coach Adkins did not replace Gu Ran.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the game continued.
The Notts County team, which had been beaten 4:0, obviously shrunk its defense, while Southampton continued to bombard them indiscriminately.
In the 67th minute, Notts County replaced three offensive players and replaced them with three defensive players, and the formation was also adjusted from 442 to 451.
If they lose, Notts County will definitely lose. Now they just want not to lose too ugly.
After this change of formation, the defensive end of the Notts County team has indeed improved, but the effect is not significant.
In the 74th minute, a Notts County defensive player tripped Lallana outside the top of the penalty area. The referee showed a yellow card and awarded Southampton a well-positioned free kick.
Lallana got up from the turf excitedly and rushed towards Gu Ran.
Finally you can exchange 1 for 2!
After a brief exchange between the two, Gu Ran calmly stood at the penalty spot.
Southampton fans cheered excitedly!
The song "Forty Meters Full Moon Curved Diao" sang at St. Mary's Stadium!
All fans are looking forward to Gu Ran performing the Full Moon Scimitar at his home stadium!
Notts County's defensive players urgently lined up the wall. Several of their new players were taller, which was really advantageous for defending set pieces.
Gu Ran skillfully positioned the ball, took a few steps back, glanced at the weak area of the wall, and then pulled up his shorts out of habit.
The tight shorts accentuated the majestic silhouette.
The strong thigh muscles are as tight as thick cables!
Suddenly, St. Mary's Stadium was filled with the screams of girls!
Gu Ran sprinted instantly, raised his right leg, bent his body into an arch, twisted his left ankle to support his whole body, and hit the football with his right foot——
See the young man again with his bow fully drawn!
Set piece: Full Moon Scimitar +4!
Heavy artillery long-range shot: earth-shattering +3!
Heavy artillery long range shot: cruise missile +1!
Top passing shot: God's Kick +2!
The wonderful passing and shooting buffs of the review-style celebrations stack up to 3 layers!
The football exploded into the air, drawing a suffocating arc of light directly over the strong area of the wall and falling rapidly in an instant!
The human wall in Notts County went crazy! When they jumped up, the football had already passed over their heads!
Notts County goalkeeper Rob Bochy was stunned and stood on the spot!
The football spun into the net without any surprise!
The ball went in!
Southampton 5:0 Notts County!
Gu Ran's hat trick!
Southampton fans are going crazy!
In the last game, they defeated their arch-rival Portsmouth with a big score away from home. This time, they beat Notts County with a big score at home!
At this moment, Southampton fans feel that they have reached their peak!
The Southampton players on the field also excitedly surrounded Gu Ran to celebrate!
Gu Ran himself was also very happy!
In the second round of English League One, Gu Ran has already scored 7 goals and is definitely far ahead!
Notts County head coach Paul Ince, who was in the technical area on the sidelines, looked at head coach Adkins who was celebrating with a depressed expression.
Coach Paul Ince's expression seemed to be saying: Brother, don't be like this, we're not mortal enemies, right? They are all just for food...
Coach Adkins helplessly spread his palms towards coach Paul Ince, with an expression that seemed to say: Our Southampton team is really not targeting you, Notts County, we really treat all League One teams equally. …
In order not to go too far, Coach Adkins began to make substitutions.
It's already 5:0, so we really have to hold back and kick, otherwise we can really get away with it.
When all the fans were so happy, they naturally couldn't substitute Gu Ran off the field. After all, Gu Ran was already a banner figure, and Coach Adkins couldn't dampen the fans' interest.
So, Coach Adkins took off the three main players Lallana, Schneiderlin, and Davis in one go.
Substitute goalkeeper Bialkovsky, central midfielder Doble, and midfielder Gborn appeared.
These three players were all substitutes on the bench. None of the three of them expected to appear in the first home game of the new season.
This... is all Gu Ran's credit!
Gu Ran tortured the opponent until he was helpless, and then gave the three of them a chance to show off!
The three players were very excited and secretly vowed to play well with Gu Ran, try to score more goals, and let Coach Adkins see their strength!
Lallana was a little depressed when he came off the field.
He had just exchanged two assists with Gu Ran, but before he even started to enjoy himself, he was replaced.
The game continues.
The Southampton team, which had almost all substitutes, was still on the offensive under Gu Ran's teamwork.
In the 86th minute of the game, Gu Ran dribbled the ball along the left wing alone. Cruyff turned around and overtook the ball on the outside lane, then passed through the ball through the crotch and sent the ball into the penalty area in one breath.
The new young central midfielder Doble was unmarked and shot a powerful shot while running forward!
The ball...went in again! ! !
6:0!
Gu Ran completed a hat trick of assists! Double hat trick!
The entire St. Mary's Stadium completely exploded! The stands of St. Mary's Church on the south side were about to collapse due to crazy fans!
Coach Adkins helplessly spread his palms towards the pale-faced coach Paul Ince, with an expression that seemed to say:
I really tried my best to stay in the water...
The overall situation of the game has been decided!
Two mysterious Chinese guests in the VIP box stood up and straightened their suits.
"It's time to meet Gu Ran."
…
