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

The ball... scraped the post and flew out of the end line!

Torres held his head directly, knelt down and slid toward the goal like a sin.

This goal can no longer be regarded as a shot, it should be regarded as a wonderful clearance.

Torres is worthy of being Southampton's non-staff defender. He does not receive a salary, but he helps a lot.

Southampton fans happily chanted Torres' name.

Torres himself was going crazy.

Ancelotti also looked depressed and shook his head.

In fact, given Chelsea's strength, in addition to underestimating Gu Ran's strength at the beginning, the main reason why Chelsea was beaten by Southampton in two consecutive games was Torres.

Torres took up too many offensive resources in the frontcourt, greatly suppressing the ball-holding space and number of shots of the two wingers. However, Torres's own accuracy was surprisingly poor, as if he had been knocked down after leaving Liverpool. No, Will score a goal.

Although Torres has just arrived at Chelsea, even if he is a newcomer, even if he recruits Sturridge back from the loan club, he will not waste so many opportunities.

If instead of using Torres, but continuing to use the extremely impactful Didier Drogba, Southampton's defense would have been smashed to pieces as early as the first round of the game.

However, Ancelotti was still reluctant to replace Torres.

This is Ancelotti's coaching style - not to make substitutions easily.

He didn't want to offend Torres.

What's more, Torres was recruited by the big boss Abramovich at all costs. If the big boss poached players after two uses and then discarded them, wouldn't that be a slap in the big boss's face?

Mourinho can do this kind of thing like slapping the boss in the face, but Ancelotti will never do it.

Mourinho not only dared to slap his boss in the face, but also dared to slap himself in the face.

Mourinho once made a substitution at halftime. After the substitution, he found that the performance of the substituted player was not as good as he expected, so Mourinho immediately and decisively substituted the player he had just substituted.

No matter what the boss's face, the players' face, or his own face, in Mourinho's eyes, winning is the last word!

In comparison, Ancelotti is really the best candidate to take over the national football team...

The game continues.

The Southampton team, which escaped a fatal disaster, quickly stabilized its position.

The fourth official held up a sign to signal five minutes of injury time.

The current time is only 9 minutes before the end of the game. If Southampton cannot equalize the score within 9 minutes, then Chelsea will eliminate Southampton and advance to the League Cup finals with a "near miss".

While Gu Ran was controlling the ball, he shouted to his teammates who were pressing him not to rush.

At the critical moment, Gu Ran played a stabilizing role, and the Southampton team's mentality quickly stabilized.

Gu Ran dribbled the ball to break through and encountered a triangle double-team. Gu Ran then calmly pulled Lampard and three other players to the left wing, while Chamberlain took the opportunity to cover the baseline.

Just when Lampard and others focused on the cooperation of defending the left wing, Gu Ran suddenly changed his line and retreated, opened up the space, and passed the ball to the right wing.

Schneiderlin received the ball on the right and then pushed forward along the wing!

Gu Ranze took the opportunity to quickly penetrate!

Schneiderlin hit the ball horizontally, but it was half a beat too slow!

The diving trigger Ashley Cole made a desperate slide tackle that gave even Cristiano Ronaldo a headache, stopped the ball, and bumped into Schneiderlin, making it impossible for Schneiderlin to counterattack on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Ashley Cole poked the ball to Malouda who retreated!

Malouda is at full speed, dribbling the ball and making a crazy impact!

It's about to go solo!

Gu Ran, who had just crossed into the middle, quickly returned to defense!

The speed competition between the two was so exciting that it was visible to the naked eye! Malouda dribbled the ball and rushed to the top of the key. Jaidi stretched out his hand to pull Malouda, forcing Malouda to slow down!

Malouda made a dazzling escape and passed Jaidi!

Just when Malouda was free and ready to kick, Gu Ran's violent and aesthetic attack came from the side and behind, directly pushing Malouda away!

Malouda immediately fell to the ground and rolled! Go to the restricted area!

The Southampton fans at the scene immediately booed wildly.

The referee blew his whistle to interrupt the game.

Malouda fell in the penalty area, covering his face with his hands, and did not get up for a long time.

Gu Ran looked helpless and spread his hands to the referee to explain.

After consulting the linesman's opinion, the referee decisively showed a yellow card - to Malouda!

The referee sentenced Malouda for diving!

St. Mary's Stadium suddenly boiled!

This is a rare correct call from a Premier League referee!

Malouda stood up with a depressed face. He couldn't understand why Malouda couldn't do what Cristiano and Ashley Young could do.

Southampton was awarded a free kick in the backcourt.

Gu Ran quickly took this short free kick and passed the ball to Lambert.

Lambert simply dribbled twice, and before the opponent's player came up from the high post, he immediately gave the ball to Gu Ran, who had some space.

Gu Ran's space was not very wide, and this was the best he could do when he tried his best to run away.

There was no way, the game had reached this critical juncture, and the Chelsea team tried their best to double-team Gu Ran, not daring to let Gu Ran seize any seemingly insignificant opportunity.

Gu Ran received Lambert's pass while running, and passed the ball forward to Lallana while running.

Lallana was also focusing on marking. After receiving the ball, he was unable to turn around and break through, so he could only continue to knock the ball back to Gu Ran.

But the ball was passed very hastily under pressure.

Ramirez grabbed Gu Ran's arm, and Lampard stepped forward to intercept the ball!

Immediately afterwards, Lampard made a long pass with a high ball!

Iron Guard Torres’ positioning is very good! If this ball is not passed to Torres, it is a bit sorry for Torres' movement!

Torres didn't even stop the ball and volleyed directly!

The ball...went in!

Torres scored!

Torres cheered crazily! The resentment suppressed in his chest was swept away!

but……

Immediately afterwards, the referee blew his whistle, indicating that Torres was offside.

Torres was stunned.

Through the replay on the big screen, Torres was indeed in an offside position when he received the ball. The offside was very obvious and there was no dispute.

This is also Southampton's offside tactic!

As long as the referee is not blind and does not deliberately favor Chelsea, then Southampton will dare to carry out risky offside tactics at home.

Torres' goal does not count!

The score between the two sides is still Southampton 1:2 (total score 4:5) and Chelsea.

The suspense of the League Cup quarter-finals is still there!

But the time for injury time is getting shorter and shorter!

After the Southampton team kicked off, Gu Ran dribbled the ball to continuously cooperate with Lambert and Chamberlain, and then used his physical confrontation and speed to forcefully eat Lampard, Ramirez and Essien alive, and then kicked The magic lamp pointed the way and passed the ball straight to Lallana, who had quietly penetrated into Chelsea's penalty area!

This is Southampton's last chance!
