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

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at Liverpool 3:2 Southampton.

Players from both sides left the field and returned to their respective locker rooms to rest.

"Good job, boys!" Coach Adkins took the initiative to applaud the players.

In the first half, when Liverpool was beaten 3:1, Southampton almost collapsed, but fortunately at the critical moment, Gu Ran stepped up to turn the tide and reduced the disadvantage to only one goal with a shocking and violent long-range shot. .

This is already a very good situation.

I think back then, when Southampton faced Tottenham at Wembley Stadium, they fell behind by 3 goals in the first half alone, and then were forced back by Gu Ran in the second half.

From the perspective of the Southampton team, as long as Gu Ran is there, there will be infinite miracles.

Coach Adkins didn't talk nonsense. Instead, he quickly fine-tuned the Southampton team's tactics on the tactical whiteboard while the players were resting, getting massages, replenishing electrolyte energy drinks, and applying snuff oil.

In the new tactics of the second half, Gu Ran no longer defends with all his strength and waits for counterattacks, but focuses on counterattacks and defense as a supplement. Other players must also fully support Gu Ran. The overall confrontation must be strengthened and small moves should be made. , pull when they should, shovel when they should, and try their best to consume the physical fitness of Liverpool players, especially the big-name and older players.

Of course, Mikel, who has already received one yellow card, should try his best not to receive a second yellow card, otherwise it will be really troublesome.

After the 15-minute intermission, the players from both sides left the locker room in high spirits, reappeared, and changed sides to fight again.

As soon as the Liverpool team came up, they launched a wave of smooth attacks.

After receiving Gerrard's long diagonal pass, Kuyt dribbled the ball directly into the right side of Southampton's penalty area and volleyed into the far corner!

Davis threw the ball away, but the football hit the post and rebounded. Fante, who had grabbed the first landing spot, kicked the ball away and cleared it.

Southampton fans broke out in a cold sweat.

I have to say that Liverpool's pressing offense is really sharp.

And that's not the end.

In the 57th minute, Gerrard passed a half-high ball through the ball. Suarez withstood the defense of Jaidi and Fonte and forced a header to hit the goal.

Fortunately, the football hit the upper edge of the goal beam and bounced off the bottom line.

Southampton escaped another disaster.

The Red Army fans in Liverpool were a little impatient.

To be honest, Southampton is only a League One team in terms of level, but Liverpool failed to achieve the expected crushing effect even if they played against a League One team.

The game continues.

In the 63rd minute, Liverpool's offensive came back. Joe Cole crossed into the penalty area and his volley was blocked by Gu Ran. Kuyt, who followed in the back row, made a supplementary shot, but he kicked the ball and missed the score again. Opportunities to expand.

Then, in the 68th minute, Maxi Rodriguez got the ball from the wing and cut inside. Suarez was in a good position, but Ma did not choose to pass the ball, but shot an angled shot himself - Football Drawing Passed by the door and flew up to the stands.

In the first 70 minutes of the entire game, Liverpool definitely had a crushing advantage. Their traditional pressing offensive style was also brought to the extreme. The way they played was really pleasing to the eye.

But... Liverpool has 80% of the ball possession, 27 shots, 9 shots on target. Such gorgeous data, but they have only scored 3 goals so far.

On the other hand, Southampton's ball possession rate was only a pitiful 20%, with 6 shots and 3 shots on target, but they scored two goals. If you just look at the data, Liverpool is absolutely crushed, but looking at the score, Liverpool is only leading by 1 goal. There is really no advantage to sit back and relax.

When the game reached the 75th minute, Liverpool's second window of physical fatigue had appeared. Liverpool's offensive pressure rhythm had obviously slowed down again, and the Liverpool players were not moving aggressively enough.

In the 77th minute, Joe Cole passed the ball to Gerrard, who was running through the ball.

Gu Ran, who had been ambushing the interception route for a long time, suddenly broke into action and once again intercepted the pass with a death sliding tackle.

Gerrard quickly accelerated to pursue Gu Ran, but Gu Ran straightened his waist and abdomen and quickly stood up and immediately took the ball and sprinted at high speed.

By this time in the second half, the Liverpool team's physical fitness was already somewhat insufficient - this was not because they were not in good physical fitness, nor was it entirely because this Liverpool team was overall older, but most importantly because Liverpool also played a Premier League match against Manchester United three days ago. Under the pressure of desperately staying in the top six, Liverpool naturally played very hard in that match.

Liverpool thought this game would be easy, but the physical exertion of this game was no less than playing against Manchester United.

But it was only now that Gu Ran really started to explode.

Gerald couldn't reach out to pull Gu Ran, Joe Cole couldn't catch up with Gu Ran, and Lucas couldn't tackle Gu Ran!

Gu Ran dribbled the ball straight forward. When faced with the interception of Carragher and Agger, Gu Ran directly dribbled the ball across and dragged Carragher and Agger to the left rib of the penalty area.

At the same time, Lallana moved to the right side of the penalty area, and Chamberlain cut into the small penalty area at high speed without the ball!

Gu Ran stopped suddenly, and Carragher and Ager also stopped immediately!

Before Carragher and Agger could stabilize themselves and stretch out their feet to steal, Gu Ran made a smooth move with fried balls, and then followed it up with a reverse-foot piercing move!

The football passed through Carragher's legs and, in the way of a magic lamp guiding the way, it went straight to Chamberlain's feet!

Chamberlain shot directly!

Reina predicted Chamberlain's shot path in advance and made a sideways save!

The football was blocked and flew out of the baseline!

Chamberlain held his head and lamented.

With this ball, Gu Ran went from intercepting to counterattacking and sprinting, to involving Carragher and Agger, to Lallana attracting firepower on the right, and then to Gu Ran wearing the crotch lamp against his feet to guide the way. Southampton really took care of it. The cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt is at its best!

However, Chamberlain's finishing touch was still a little short of the mark.

Fortunately, Southampton also got a corner kick with Chamberlain's shot.

Gu Ran patted Chamberlain on the shoulder and trotted towards the corner kick area.

Liverpool's defensive players also all returned to the penalty area to conduct man-to-man defense against Southampton's important players.

Gu Ran glanced at the restricted area.

At this time, Lallana trotted towards the corner kick area again.

Southampton has used this corner kick tactic twice, and it worked both times.

Naturally, the Liverpool team had also watched Southampton's games against Manchester City and Tottenham. Therefore, when Lallana ran towards Gu Ran, Liverpool's defensive players were all staring at Gu Ran, ready to attack Gu Ran. Be prepared to defend in all directions and prevent Gu Ran from touching the ball.

but……

Before Lallana could reach Gu Ran, Gu Ran sprinted forward and kicked the full moon scimitar!
