I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 374: Abuse of food, I am serious! 90's crushing!Coach Adkins: Just hold back and kick.

The incident of Beckham inviting a transfer did not affect Gu Ran's mentality.

In the next few days, Gu Ran continued to train and pick up step by step.

Without the Hollywood female star as the magic point tool, the acquisition of talent points is indeed much slower, but Gu Ran still relied on the automatic redemption of white bubbles and obtained 2 talent points.

Gu Ran allocated these two talent points to flexibility and bounce respectively. In this way, the flexibility attribute reached 75 points and the bounce attribute reached 76 points.

Soon enough, game day arrives.

On Saturday, August 8, in the fourth round of the English League One, Southampton played Rochdale at home.

In this game, the Southampton team playing at home is a relatively strong team, while the Rochdale team playing away is a typical weak team.

The Rochdale team has been in the middle and lower reaches of League One and League Two all year round. They have lost more than they won in the first few games of this season and are temporarily ranked 18th in League One.

Therefore, in today’s game, Coach Adkins did not send out the entire main lineup.

Southampton's tactic for this game is to use a 4231 formation to play fast break - although Southampton's main tactic is to defend against counterattacks, but when playing against a weak team, there is no need to defend against counterattacks. They can just rely on Gu Ran A to crush them.

If you don't even dare to crush the weak teams, then there will be no need to play the following games.

Gu Ran naturally started the game and appeared directly in the midfielder position on the central axis.

Lallana, Schneiderlin, Gurley, Walton, Richardson, Jaidi and other main players have taken turns.

The Rochdale team sent out their entire main lineup.

The handicap given by William Hill before the game was 1.19 for home win, 7.25 for draw, and 12.40 for loss - such exaggerated odds show that the betting company is very optimistic that Southampton can easily crush Rochdale.

As soon as the game started, the Rochdale team, which had the priority to kick off, knocked the ball back into their own backcourt and performed a protective kick.

Southampton fans booed the Rochdale players for their negative attitude.

Southampton's players rushed up to the high post and pressed hard.

The Rochdale team tried to use their bodies to compete with the Southampton team, but as soon as the bodies of the players from both sides came into contact, the Rochdale team could not hold on.

After all, Southampton is a team with a Premier League foundation, while Rochdale has no foundation at all.

The Rochdale team adopted the tactic of luring the enemy deep and passing long balls behind them, hoping to exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

In the second minute of the game, the Rochdale backcourt captain passed the ball, and the football directly crossed more than half of the field and passed to the front of Southampton's penalty area.

Southampton pressed very high, so Rochdale's kick did go behind Southampton.

but……

There is one key factor in behind-the-back tactics, and that is speed.

You have to get in without waiting for the Southampton defense to turn around, otherwise the ball behind it will be meaningless.

The forward of the Rochdale team sprinted wildly to respond, but before he could reach his position, he was knocked away by Gu Ran's side shoulder.

After Gu Ran intercepted the ball, he immediately counterattacked with the ball and pushed all the way from the front of his own penalty area. After attracting the attention of the Rochdale defensive players, he directed a long-distance magic lamp to the left side of the penalty area.

Chamberlain, who was unmarked, rushed to the goal. After getting the ball, he immediately kicked off and shot - a goal!
In the first 3 minutes, Southampton led 1:0!
This is also Chamberlain's first League One goal this season!Chamberlain himself didn’t even think of it!And this ball was not scored with the face, but with the feet!
After scoring the goal, Chamberlain slid to his knees and rushed towards Gu Ran, hugging Gu Ran's thigh tightly!
Chamberlain finally realized the joy of team star Lallana!

Southampton got off to a fantastic start at home.

The game continues.

The Rochdale team was simply unable to withstand Gu Ran's organizational connection in the midfield.

This is actually not a tactical issue, but just a strength issue.

Facing a "strong team" like Southampton, the Rochdale team is right to use defensive counterattacks and long passes to lob, but the problem is that the strength gap between the two sides is too big. The Rochdale team is very fast when attacking. Not fast enough, running too slow to catch the ball during long passes, not physically strong enough during confrontation, and unable to stay close when defending, always getting rid of easily - this strength gap is so big that it can be seen with the naked eye, and it cannot be made up for at the tactical level. .

In the 11th minute, Gu Ran dribbled the ball and appeared on the right. The Rochdale team's defense quickly followed Gu Ran and moved to the right. Gu Ran easily tore open the defense and sent a fatal cross into the penalty area after Matthews sank his shoulder continuously.

Forward Connelly headed the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately it went slightly wide.

Rochdale had a false alarm.

In the 17th minute, Lambert dribbled the ball from the right and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Gu Ran made a ghostly move and directly volleyed the flying football and shot a long-range scissor kick!
Rochdale goalkeeper No. 13 Owen Williams, a 195cm tall man, didn't even react and watched the football blast into the goal.

The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Southampton 2:0 Rochdale.

Southampton fans cheered wildly, and St. Mary's Stadium became a nightmare stadium for the Rochdale team.

And the nightmare continues.

Southampton's ball possession rate has reached a terrifying 85%.

The Rochdale team can hardly touch the ball. Even if the Rochdale team has the ball, Southampton will quickly press up, either forcing the Rochdale team to lose the ball directly, or forcing the Rochdale team to lose the ball. The team lost the ball after passing the ball.

Although the Southampton team only sent half of the main team on the field, when coach Adkins put Gu Ran on the central axis and Gu Ran did not need to take on too many defensive responsibilities, the entire Southampton team It's like he has changed his style, full of attack power and invincible sense of oppression.

Gu Ran's performance in the midfielder position is refreshing, and Gu Ran himself plays like a duck in water.

In the 26th minute, Southampton got a corner kick on the left.

Gu Ran took a corner kick and found the back post. Defender Martin headed the goal, but unfortunately it hit the goal post.

Then in the 30th minute, Hammond's side pressing confrontation forced Rochdale's full midfielders to make a mistake in playing the ball in their own backcourt, and the football rolled out of bounds.

Gu Ran ran over and took the penalty kick.

When Gu then retreated to the billboard position and raised the football above his head, the Southampton fans at the scene were all bursting with adrenaline and screaming wildly - they knew what was going to happen next!

The defensive players of the Rochdale team still didn't know what was happening, and many defensive players were still standing in a daze with their arms akimbo.

Gu Ran took a running approach, stopped suddenly, straightened his waist and abdomen, and threw his upper limbs hard!
Like a strategic grenade, the football flew more than 40 meters straight and landed in Rochdale's penalty area like a precise bomb!
Young center back Martin, who had just headed a header, jumped again and headed again!

The football hit the ground and bounced into the goal!

The entire Rochdale team was dumbfounded!

After scoring the goal, Martin took off his shirt in excitement, exposing his chest strap, and rushed towards Gu Ran like crazy!
3:0!
Half an hour later, it’s 3:0!
The entire St. Mary's Stadium exploded!So cool!

That's right, Gu Ran will never let them down!
Of course, because of the uncivilized behavior of taking off his clothes on the field, the referee showed Martin a yellow card.

Martin happily accepted.

This is Martin's first goal in the League One game, and it is worth commemorating it with a yellow card.

The Rochdale team's nightmare continues.

In the 34th minute, Gu Ran rushed directly to the frontcourt to steal the ball. The Rochdale team immediately sent out six players to double-team Gu Ran at the same time, denying Gu Ran a chance to play the ball.

However, the encirclement was too late to kill him!The Rochdale team's defensive players couldn't keep up with Gu Ran at all!
Gu Ran's speed, impact, physical confrontation, foot skills, and football intelligence were like a monster breaking into the novice village.

Guran Matthews lowered his shoulders to receive the fried meatball, then dribbled with his feet and then strengthened his crotch. He penetrated the defense of six defensive players in one wave and passed the ball to Lambert who was supporting him next to him.

There was an empty space around Lambert. He took a few shots into the penalty area but no one came up to press him. Lambert was not polite and shot directly towards the near corner with a putt - and the ball went in again!
The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Southampton 4:0 Rochdale!
Gu Ran's power on the central axis was so explosive that he was like a cake-feeding machine!
Southampton fans even believe that as long as Gu Ran is willing, even the goalkeeping captain Davis Gu Ran can feed him a hot mouthful of Gu's cake.

There were only ten minutes left in the first half, and the Rochdal team had already conceded 4 goals. The mentality of the Rochdal team was shattered.

Gu Ran shot and passed three times once, and his butchery continued.

After all, the more you play against a weak team, the harder it is to get an SS rating, so you have to work hard.

And it is very likely that he will be replaced by coach Adkins in the second half, so he must collect more goals and assists in the limited time.

The game progressed to the 41th minute.

The Rochdale team finally got a corner kick through a long counterattack.

After the corner kick was taken, Davis punched him out of the penalty area at the first point. Gu Ran immediately started violently and aesthetically, catching up with the football and directly dribbling the ball in!
All the players on the Rochdale team tried their best to chase and block Gu Ran's running path!

Gu Ran's 1v10, the scene was extremely passionate and spectacular!

Although he was defended and intercepted by 10 players, Gu Ran didn't feel any special pressure. Gu Ran didn't even use passing skills. He just dribbled the ball all the way and pushed flat, eating it raw with speed.

The Rochdale players who were chasing him were just running with him, and they couldn't keep up!

Gu Ranfeng's son, King of Highbury, went all out, killing 10 people in a row, and in the blink of an eye, he penetrated the top of the Rochdale penalty area with a violent aesthetic gesture!

Rochdale goalkeeper Owen Williams immediately abandoned the goal and attacked. Owen wanted to intercept Gu Ran in the penalty area and prevent Gu Ran from easily taking a shot - as long as he could stop Gu Ran even for a second, The large troops behind will be able to reinforce and return to defense!
However, Matthews slumped his shoulders and took advantage of the situation to pass the ball!

This is a Ronaldo-style pass!
The Southampton fans at the scene went crazy instantly!

Goalkeeper Owen Williams...passed!
Gu Ran ate the entire Rochdale team alive by himself!No one is left behind!
After passing the goalkeeper, Gu Ran easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, and the ball went into the net amidst the hoarse shouts of the Saints in the audience!

5:0! ! !
Gu Ran scored twice!

Gu Ran felt so happy eating this whole thing raw!

It’s so enjoyable!
Abuse of food, I am serious!

Gu Ran struck the wind with one palm, jumped onto the billboard domineeringly, and swung his fist at the saints who worshiped him!
The voice of "Chinese Dad" resounded throughout the St. Mary's Stadium!
Every player on the Rochdale team is trembling!The first half of Hell's Nightmare isn't over yet.

2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half.

Lambert was tripped while dribbling the ball in the middle, and Southampton received a free kick about 35 meters away from the goal.

Gu Ran, the first-choice kicker, stood at the penalty spot as a matter of course.

Goodbye boy draws his full bow!
Gu Ran Yuanyue Scimitar shot!

The football is like a sharp razor, with a domineering and violent aesthetic arc force, spinning into the upper left corner of the goal!

Rochdale goalkeeper Owen Williams is stuck again!

The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten to 6:0!

In just 45 minutes in the first half, Gu Ran completed a double hat trick of assists and shots!

Gu Ran also became the only player in the history of Southampton to complete a double hat trick in the first half!

Gu Ran's state today is so explosive!
With all the Saints fans singing the song "There is a young and handsome oriental man named Gu Ran", the Southampton players returned to the home team's locker room extremely excited.

During the halftime break, Coach Adkins said to Gu Ran helplessly: "Gu, your state is really hot today, I'm very pleased. But...can you hold back on your kicks? After all, The Rochdale team is not our mortal enemy. If you keep playing like this, I'm afraid we will create mortal enemies. Although we are not afraid of mortal enemies, if they get anxious and deliberately target you and injure you, then we will It’s a big loss, isn’t it?”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay coach, I will try my best to hold back my kicks in the second half."

Only then did Coach Adkins pat Gu Ran on the shoulder with relief.

Halftime is over!

Players from both sides returned to the court, changing sides and fighting again.

Rochdale, which was already 6 goals behind, was already in disarray and could not organize an attack at all.

The Southampton team restrained themselves for 2 minutes... 2 minutes later, Southampton launched an indiscriminate and crazy attack under Gu Ran's organization and connection!

I gave you a chance, but you failed!
Not to mention Chamberlain, let alone Connolly, even Southampton's midfielders and defenders rushed into the penalty area desperately, posing and waiting for Gu Ran to feed him.

The entire Southampton team's ball possession rate reached 90%, and the overall running distance was three times that of the Rochdale team!
This is pure crushing, a crushing that can be seen in the data!

Gu Ran obeyed Coach Adkins' request and did not "push forward at every opportunity". Gu Ran only started to pass long diagonally from the midfield and backcourt, relying on Lambert and Chamberlain as the fulcrum.

Unexpectedly, the Rochdale team could not defend themselves in this way.

Chamberlain looked like he was on a high, dribbling the ball crazily, cutting inside, crossing, and shooting.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Southampton forced a corner kick with Chamberlain's impact in the frontcourt.

Gu Ran walked to the corner kick penalty spot, and with a big kick, he accurately drove the ball to the center of the penalty area.

To be honest, this ball is very obvious.

But it happened to be such an obvious penalty kick that Rochdale's defensive players couldn't guard against!

Southampton's players are like a pack of hungry wolves!The desire to eat cakes is extremely strong!
First, center back Martin grabbed the first point, but Martin was interfered by Rochdale's defenders and the football failed to hit the ball. However, the opposite goalkeeper Owen Williams was extremely nervous and made a mistake. His hand failed to catch the ball, so there was a second landing point.

Then defender Fante grabbed the second shot, but Fante's position was not very good, but Fante still forced his kick to hit the goal. The ball hit the Rochdale defender and bounced out again.

This time, Connolly made a ghostly move, grabbed the third spot, and half-turned to volley from close range!

There was nothing more goalkeeper Owen Williams could do...

The ball went in again and again!
The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Southampton 7:0 Rochdale!
This score is already very exaggerated, and the second half has just begun!
The players of the Rochdale team had completely collapsed. More than half of the players were lying on the turf and refused to get up and continue the game for a long time.

Coach Adkins, who was sitting on the bench, covered his face helplessly - it feels uncomfortable to win too much.

Gu Ran innocently spread his hands towards Adkins. This time he really held back the kick. He didn't even have assists or shooting data for this ball. He just couldn't stand it and the other Southampton players had already been led by him. crazy.

Coach Adkins starts making substitutions.

Coach Adkins wanted to replace all 11 people on the field in one breath, but unfortunately he only had 3 substitutions.

Chamberlain, who showed positive performance, was replaced and young defender Tafazoli was replaced.

Tafazzoli had never played halfback, but Coach Adkins couldn't care less.

Chamberlain looked annoyed when he left the field. He felt that he had a chance to achieve a hat trick.

Midfielder Lambert was also replaced, and Anthony Pulis, who used to love to mess around, was replaced.

Chamberlain and Lambert could easily form a tactical triangle with Gu Ran. Coach Adkins replaced Chamberlain and Lambert in order to break up the midfield triangle and prevent the score from reaching double digits.

Coach Adkins originally wanted to take Gu Ran off and take a rest to avoid malicious retaliation from the opposing players, but the fans at the scene were so loud that Coach Adkins could only postpone it.

The game continues.

After the substitution, Southampton's offensive rhythm really slowed down.

Gu Ran's many wonderful long and short passes were wasted by non-main-level substitute players.

Rochdale finally got a breather... but not much.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Gu Ran stole the ball near the center circle and then hoisted the ball into the penalty area with a big kick.

Connolly headed the ball back, and Hammond took the ball and shot directly from a long distance!

Southampton 8:0 Rochdale!

In the 80th minute of the game, Hammond made a wonderful pass from the right. After Gu Ran got the ball in the penalty area, he was pulled to the ground in retaliation by at least five Rochdale players who were outflanking him.

Amid the angry roars of the Saints fans, the referee immediately gave the Rochdale players a straight red penalty.

Southampton also received a penalty kick immediately.

Gu Ran climbed up from the turf, and veteran striker Connolly stepped forward and asked Gu Ran if he wanted to take the penalty kick. Gu Ran immediately declined.

Connolly took the penalty and scored in one stroke!

The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Southampton 9:0 Rochdale!

After this goal, Coach Adkins had to replace Gu Ran at all costs. If he continued like this, it was only a matter of time before the score broke double. The humiliated Rochdale was bound to take revenge on the court.

So, amid the applause and cheers of all Southampton fans, Gu Ran left the field while raising his hands to applaud.

The next game time became completely garbage time.

At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 9:0.

Southampton fans are satisfied!

This is Southampton's biggest home win in recent seasons.

Gu Ran's performance in this game was extremely shocking, especially the scene where he ate the entire Rochdale team alive in 1v11, which made all the fans excited and unforgettable.

Among Southampton's 9 goals, Gu Ran scored 4 passes, 3 shots and a double hat trick, and the remaining two goals were also created by Gu Ran.

There is no solution to the effects of this ability.

After this game, Gu Ran's five sub-attributes of "speed", "balance", "short passing", "stopping the ball" and "creativity" have also grown, with speed reaching 79 points and balance reaching 76 points. , the short pass reached 68 points, the stoppage reached 76 points, and the creativity reached 72 points.

Because of his outstanding performance in double hat tricks and eating 11 people alive, Gu Ran also received an SS-level rating from the system, allowing him to perform hidden draws and point wash reorganizations.

This time, Gu Ran chose "passing the ball behind the back".

The back-passing skill was immediately increased from +2 to +5.

This time, Gu Ran reorganized another important practical skill "High Speed ​​Sprint Dribbling +5".

High-speed sprint dribbling +5 is then upgraded to enhanced sprint dribbling +1, and 5 universal talent points are washed out at the same time.

Gu Ran then allocated 5 of the 2 talent points to physical fitness, raising the physical fitness to 90 points. The remaining 3 talent points were evenly allocated to the relatively weak balance, flexibility, and jumping. The shortcomings attributes have been increased to 77 points.

In this way, Gu Ran's strength has been further strengthened.

After the fourth round of the English League One, Southampton rose to second place in the English League One standings.

The top spot in the League One standings is still Pittsburg United, but this round they were just tied with Brighton in an away game and only scored 1 point. They are temporarily ranked first with a total of 10 points, while Nan'an The Purton team easily followed with a total of 9 points.

The English League One scorer list has been updated, Gu Ran is once again leading the way with 10 goals!

At this point, the August League One schedule is all over. Southampton's Gu Ran, Lallana, and Lambert were selected into the "England League One Team of the Month for August". Gu Ran won the League One Player of the Month for August. Gu Ran scored 8 goals and won the best goal in August in English League One...

After giving a tactical summary class that afternoon, Coach Adkins announced that the entire team would have a day off, and no one was allowed to party in bars, in order to prepare for the first round knockout of the British Championship three days later.
