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

Chapter 493 The cooperation in the first official competition is perfect!

This loan agreement stipulates that if Mikel can help Southampton win the English League Cup, then Mikel will be renewed until the end of the Europa League next season, and both clubs will bear half of Mikel's wages. salary, and Mikel enjoys a share of Southampton's winning bonuses.

In addition, Mikel cannot be used in the game against Chelsea. Mikel can be recalled by Chelsea at any time during the loan period. If Mikel is injured at Southampton, all costs will be borne by the Southampton club.

With Sister NO's intervention and Emenalo's help, the loan agreement was given the green light all the way. It only took half a day to pass the vote of the club's senior management, and Mikel also announced his acceptance to Southampton that afternoon. of rental.

At an impromptu press conference, Mikel claimed that he was loaned to Southampton just to be able to play with Gu Ran.

This speech was regarded as a speech with extremely high emotional intelligence - even though Mikel is a player with a famous hot temper and undisciplined card rate on the court.

On the day the transfer window closed on February 2st, Mikel officially reported to the Southampton team. The senior management and players of the Southampton team lined up to welcome him and gave the Nigerian superstar the highest treatment.

Gu Ran also took the initiative to come up and shake hands with Mikel, "Hi, Mikel, welcome to Southampton! I hope we can become good partners and partners."

Mikel also smiled happily and said: "Oh Gu! I think we are already good partners! From the time you crossed Essien like crossing the road at three o'clock in the morning, we have been good partners. ”

"Hahaha!" The two laughed heartily.

Mikel has a very good environment at Southampton.

Southampton's waist strength has also been greatly improved due to the addition of Mikel.

Especially when it comes to protecting Gu Ran, Mikel showed his extraordinary protective ability in the first training session.

Coach Adkins is very satisfied. After playing the 442 formation for more than half a season, he can finally transition to the 4231 formation with both defense and defense.

2月1号当天晚上7点30分，英甲联赛第28轮，南安普顿队主场迎战哈德斯菲尔德镇队的比赛开始了。

The newly loaned Mikel put on the Southampton jersey and sat on the bench.

Because he is new to the team, in the first game, Mikel will come on as a substitute after halftime as usual.

In this game, Southampton only sent half of its main players, led by Gu Ran, with a starting formation of 4231 for defensive counterattacks.

At the beginning of the first half, the two sides played inextricably.

There are wonderful moments for each other, and there are also mistakes for each other.

Because the weather was very cold, it took players from both sides a long time to warm up.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Chamberlain dribbled the ball through the bottom corner and knocked back. Gu Ran volleyed sideways from the top of the penalty area and sent the ball into the net!

St. Mary's Stadium was boiling instantly!

The score on the big screen was rewritten as Southampton 1:0 Huddersfield Town.

Immediately afterwards, in the 33rd minute, Chamberlain made another sharp breakthrough from the wing, triggering a foul by a Huddersfield Town winger. Gu Ran took a powerful throw-in, and high school forward Gully jumped high and scored with a header!

Southampton 2:0 Huddersfield Town!

In the injury time of the first half, Huddersfield Town launched an attack from the wing. Gu Ran defended the ball with a covering movement and intercepted the ball on the sideline. Then he passed a long pass to Chamberlain. Chamberlain faced it with a single shot. The goalkeeper who attacked calmly sent the ball into the net!

Southampton 3:0 Huddersfield Town!

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.

In the 65th minute, coach Adkins replaced Mikel, who had just been loaned, and replaced Walton, the team deputy.

When Mikel came on the stage, the entire Southampton fans stood up and gave Mikel warm applause! This also made Mikel feel excited and had tears in his eyes!

At Chelsea, he rarely had the chance to play, and even less chance to enjoy the applause of the audience!

And at Southampton, he got it all!

As a midfielder who was trained according to Makelele's template, Mikel is definitely an underrated player.

In the 05 World Youth Championship, Chen Tao became famous with one goal, but the Golden Ball winner at that World Youth Championship was Leo Messi, and the Silver Ball winner was John Mikel, who was still playing as an attacking midfielder at the time. ·Obi.

Mikel was originally spotted by Manchester United. At that time, Manchester United offered Mikel an annual salary of 400 million pounds. However, Mourinho, the head coach of Chelsea at the time, stepped in halfway and offered Mikel an annual salary of 1200 million pounds. Accompanying Mikel to visit Chelsea's training ground, coupled with Emenalo's full operation, Mikel then joined Chelsea and played under the guidance of Makelele.

In Nigeria, Mikel is called Nigeria's Messi and Nigeria's Zidane. Mikel plays in the attacking midfielder position.

But Mourinho took a fancy to Mikel's 188cm height and 83kg strong body, and transformed him into a Makelele-style midfielder.

Facts have proved that Mourinho's vision is indeed vicious.

Mikel's style is calm, he is careful with the ball, and his position and ball-protecting skills are extremely strong. He is a defensive lock that can protect the football very well, which is very suitable for Chelsea's iron-blooded defense.

The only pity is that Mikel is not the kind of defensive midfielder who likes to go forward. He prefers to work hard in the backcourt and complete his own defensive responsibilities. In addition, Chelsea’s forward line does not lack talents, and the tactics also require Mick. He sacrificed the function of forward penetration, so Mikel scored very few goals, and naturally there was no way to compare with those world-class midfield masters.

But this does not hinder Mikel's strength.

Mikel had only been on the field for two minutes. He used his body and skills at his feet to perfectly tackle the ball from a Huddersfield player with Gu Ran. He also worked with Gu Ran twice to hit the wall and deliver the ball to the goalkeeper. The frontier of the restricted area.

Gu Ran directly kicked off, and the world wave shot from a long distance!

Huddersfield Town's goal was easily broken by the cooperation of Gu Ran and Mikel!

The score on the big screen was rewritten as Southampton 4:0 Huddersfield Town.

Since Mikel came on the scene, Gu Ran's coverage has obviously become brighter and he has become more comfortable.

Mikel's defensive style is also iron-blooded, aggressive, and extremely accurate.

This also gives Southampton's already fragile defense an extra layer of assurance.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score was fixed at Southampton 6:0 Huddersfield Town. Southampton completed the massacre of the Terriers.

Gu Ran and Mikel hugged and celebrated. Their first cooperation in an official game was perfect!

Southampton fans cheered wildly!
