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

Chapter 169 The semi-final battle begins!Gu Ran was targeted by the opponent's tactics!

After the pre-match warm-up, the players from both sides returned to their locker rooms to make final preparations.

When Gu Ran entered the locker room, the physical therapist Gregory immediately asked Gu Ran to sit down and massaged Gu Ran's leg muscles to relax him.

Not to mention... Gregory's physiotherapy techniques are indeed professional.

But if Gu Ran was allowed to choose, he would still vote for Teacher Maria.

After all... Teacher Maria can order something else.

At this time, Coach Carter began the pre-match training:
"children!"

"I want to congratulate you for standing on the semifinals!"

"Whether you win or lose in today's game, you are already the heroes of Southampton High School!"

"So first of all, I would like to ask you to close your eyes and reflect on the process along the way—"

Every player closed their eyes quietly, recalling the previous games and training moments.

There was silence in the locker room on the south side.

Coach Carter looked around, and after making sure that every player could see the excitement on his face, he continued to speak:
"Okay, now everyone can open their eyes."

"Please look at the teammates around you and tell me, what do you see?"

The players looked at each other.

Minato boldly said: "... a group of bastards?"

"Fack! Fuck him!"

"You are a second-rate!"

The bad friends gathered around the water gate to prepare for a fierce hammer——

Coach Carter frowned and shouted: "Okay, stop making trouble! Be serious!"

Bread said immediately: "Coach, what I see is hope! Hope is written on each of our faces! We can win this game!"

The other players nodded in agreement, "Well said, you really deserve to be our captain."

Coach Carter smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, is there any more?"

The blind man raised his hand and said, "Coach! I, I... didn't see anything."

The teammates burst into laughter.

"If you say that—" The glider also raised his hand and said, "Coach, I seem to have seen my cell phone!"

Coach Carter frowned and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about, next one."

Rusty Stripe raised his hands enthusiastically, "Coach! I saw Gu Ran!"

shit...

This answer is a bit silly!

I really didn't expect that a bastard like Rusty Stripe could give such a meaningful answer.

——Not only Gu Ran was surprised, but other teammates were also surprised.

how?Ever since Gu Ran fed a goal, Rusty Stripe has become enlightened?

Coach Carter frowned, "Very well, Rusty Stripe, please explain in detail."

Rusty Stripe said seriously, "Coach, when I look around at my brother, the first thing I see is Gu Ran, and then I think of Gu Ran...he has several girlfriends! How many does he have?" !"

Gu Ran: ...

Why are you making fun of me?
The other team members laughed and pounded the floor one after another!
I thought Rust Strip was a bronze, but unexpectedly, he was really a bronze.

"Okay, okay, be serious! I'm giving you a lecture!" After finishing speaking, Coach Carter couldn't help being amused by Rusty Stripe.

After taking control for a while, Carter asked Gu Ran who hadn't spoken yet: "Gu, tell me, when you looked around your brother, what did you see?"

I saw a bunch of bastards and a PUA master...

Of course you can't speak your mind!
Gu Ran thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Coach, I saw... parting."

As soon as these words came out, the entire locker room suddenly fell into silence.

The atmosphere that was still noisy just now became melancholy in an instant.

What Gu Ran said was not nonsense, it was indeed what he thought in his heart.

He has already signed a professional contract, which means that he will leave the "novice village" and officially step into the cruel society.

And these teammates of the Bucks Steel Horns will find it difficult to play together in the future.

Coach Carter sighed faintly, and said with emotion on his face: "I have brought so many players, the only person who can be on the same channel as me is really only Gu Ran."

Coach Carter paused, and continued: "That's right, Gu Ran is right."

"When you look around at the brothers around you, what you see is the coming separation."

"I dare say that we may not be the strongest team, but the atmosphere in our locker room is better than any school team, even better than the atmosphere in the locker room of professional clubs."

"Children, look carefully at the brothers around you! Each of them is a witness of your youth and immortality!"

"Think about the time you have trained together, think about the time you have fought hard on the field together, think about the time you have beaten others up with black noses and swollen faces together!"

"But in the end, you, including me, will part ways."

"Everyone has a different path."

"We are brought together by fate, but we always go our separate ways."

"Life..." Coach Carter choked up and said, "Youth is short!"

"What is youth? Youth is not age, not appearance, but a pure friendship when young and ignorant, an unpolluted life experience."

"Even if you can live to be 100 years old, your real youth is only a few short years, and there are only such a group of people related to your youth."

"The moment you step into the society, the moment you say goodbye to the brothers who trained, struggled and fought together, your youth will no longer exist."

"Especially when you enter a professional club, it is even more difficult to find a brotherhood as pure as it is today."

"There is a saying that everyone has to grow up. But the real meaning of the sentence is that everyone has to lose."

"Today's game may be the last game between you and your brothers."

"So, I don't ask you to win - I can accept whether you lose or win! Because for me, you are already the best class!"

"I just ask you guys to play this as if it's your last game!"

When Coach Carter said this, tears flowed uncontrollably.

This is indeed his words to motivate players, but it is also an expression of his own true feelings.

He really hated these kids.

But these children have really grown up, just like young eagles, they need a bigger and wider world.

The lads in the locker room were crying too.

These young men don't shed a single tear when they bleed and get injured!

A man doesn't flick his tears easily, but he hasn't reached the emotional point.

Brotherhood, youthful farewell... how can it not be emotional?
Even the "comer" Gu Ran couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

Coach Carter wiped away his tears and asked in a deep voice, "So, tell me, are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

Gu Ran took the lead and raised his arms and shouted: "For brother!"

"For brother!!!"

"For youth!"

"For youth!!!"

Gu Ran roared with enthusiasm: "This is by no means our last match! Let's go on the court and turn over the Golden Fleece! We turned over them once, no, twice, but they still refused to be convinced! Then we will do it!" Turn them over for the third time! Let them be convinced!"

"Ho Ho Ho Ho! Fuck the Golden Fleece!!!"

The whole changing room on the south side was full of blood, and the roof was about to be blown off!

Coach Carter waved his hand: "Go, my children! Follow the tactics we formulated before and overthrow them! God will be with you!"

"Roar!!!"

The players of the Bucks Steel Horns walked out of the locker room in a murderous spirit, and lined up in the player tunnel.

Gu Ran took the opportunity to pull the goalkeeper Tyrannosaurus Rex to the corner, and said in a low voice: "In today's game, the Golden Fleece will definitely attack wildly. Don't panic, just remember to pay attention to that guy Jolly's fake shot."

Tyrannosaurus rex was startled suddenly, then nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

2:55!
Under the guidance of the referee, the players from both sides officially debuted!
The fans in the stands on the south side crazily cheered for the Bucks Steelhorns!

The handshake ceremony began, and the players of the two teams gritted their teeth, sparks could be seen in each other's eyes.

After the handshake ceremony, the two captains came to the referee to guess coins.

Captain Bread of the Bucks Steel Horns guessed pros and cons, and won the priority to choose a side.

Jolly, on the other hand, got priority kickoff for the Golden Fleece.

Players from both sides began to take positions.

The formation of the Golden Fleece team was changed from the previous 442 formation to the 4231 formation.

This formation is the usual formation used by the main players of the Golden Fleece team.

Their captain, Jolly, was at the front as a single arrow, and Gavin was one of the two midfielders, staring at Gu Ran with a ferocious face at the moment.

The guy named "Adama Jeffries" stood in the position of the right avant-garde corresponding to Gu Ran.

Looking around, at least half of the Golden Fleece team's starting lineup this time is not the players who started in the group stage last time.

This time, the Golden Fleece team started with an absolute full lineup!

The formation of the Bucks Steel Horns is still the classic diamond-shaped 442 position.

The captain, Bun, played as a defensive midfielder, and Shuimen kicked No. 9 and a half.

Gu Ran's position was not as forward as in the previous game against Angel Wings, but at his left back position.

——If you don't have the right to kick off, you can't use the 15-second blitz.

Moreover, as a strong team, the Golden Fleece team is not so easy to sneak attack when they are in full physical fitness and state.

There is no omnipotent tactic in this world, and any powerful tactic depends on human wisdom.

Coach Carter's strategy before the game is still defensive counterattack, mainly to consume the Golden Fleece's physical energy and catch the Golden Fleece's loopholes.

The Golden Fleece team is characterized by strong bodies, fierce fighting, fast passing and catching, and fast coordination of triangle offense and zone defense.

The confrontation 10 minutes before the opening must be the fiercest, and it is also the most test of the defensive strength of the Bucks Steel Horns.

Gu Ran took a deep breath, concentrated his thoughts, and directly added 3 talent points to the strong attribute.

In this way, there are still 7 talent points accumulated before, and the strength attribute is directly increased from 62 points to 65 points.

With this strong attribute, it is no problem against semi-professional players.

beep--

At 3 o'clock, as the referee blew the opening whistle, the game began!
First up is the Golden Fleece kick-off.

Fans in the South Stand booed the Golden Fleece.

At the beginning, the Golden Fleece team launched a wave of sharp offensive.

Joli pulled to the right to get the ball, and made a short pass with the No. 9 central midfielder, passing the blind man who intercepted him.

Watergate immediately went up to fill his position, and his close defense was preparing to meet Jolly's No. 7 left midfielder.

The blind man accelerated his pursuit and stared at the No. 9 central midfielder.

Minato and the blind teamed up to isolate Jolly on the right.

Hua Luo also stepped up from the right back position and intercepted Jolly.

The entire Bucks Steel Horns formation quickly formed a chain reaction, and everyone was actively running to fill positions.

During the confrontation, the blind man and the central midfielder No. 9 collided and both fell to the ground. The two quickly got up and continued to collide.

Watergate continued to use small moves to defend the No. 7 left midfielder.

There is no fulcrum around Jolly, so he can only dribble the ball to force Hualuo.

Hua Luo was not used to Jolly's problems, so she directly grabbed Jolly's jersey.

Jolly also stretched out his hand to push Hua Luo.

The confrontation actions of both sides are very hot and aggressive.

Under the double-team defense of Hualuo, Bread and Painter, Jolly failed to control the ball well, and the football rolled out of the baseline.

The Bucks Steel Horns relied on physical confrontation and cooperation to defuse the Golden Fleece's first wave of offensive.

During the entire first wave of defense, Gu Ran just ran to the middle of the penalty area conscientiously to fill in, blocking the Golden Fleece team's support, and doing a good job as a left back should do.

The tacit understanding between the players of the Bucks Steel Horns has been far improved compared to their first game in the group stage.

Coach Carter sat on the bench, looking at his disciples who had grown up with satisfaction.

Just like what he said in his pre-match training, the victory or defeat of this game is really not important to him. Every one of his children is a hero.

On the other side, Coach Wilkinson stood on the sidelines with his arms folded in front of his chest, frowning and staring at the scene, his stern expression revealed a trace of tension.

In this kind of game with obvious strengths and weaknesses, everyone will forgive the weak team if they can't play well, but if the strong team can't play well... God can't forgive them.

In the first 5 minutes of the game, the areas where the two sides competed were basically in the half of the Bucks Steel Horns.

The Golden Fleece launched a full-court high press against the Bucks and Steel Horns.

Such a tactic is fierce, but it also consumes energy.

The strategy of the Golden Fleece team is to use high-pressure confrontation to directly defeat the Bucks and Steel Horns.

But if the Bucks Steel Horns cannot be defeated, the Golden Fleece will be in danger when the fatigue window appears.

——The Golden Fleece team has a deep understanding of the counterattack of the Bucks and Steel Horns.

Now, it is very difficult for the Bucks and Steel Horns to hold the ball. As long as they have the ball, at least two players from the Golden Fleece team will come up and press down fiercely.

All the experienced fans at the scene could see that the overall level of the Bucks Steel Horns was indeed a lot worse than that of the Golden Fleece.

Whether it is in the coordination of the overall formation, the success rate of passing and receiving, or in physical confrontation, the Bucks and Steel Horns are at a disadvantage.

However, the Bucks Steel Horns are very tenacious, every player is desperately defending and fighting desperately.

Players from both sides also collided and fell to the ground many times during the fight.

The rhythm of the game was also interrupted many times due to fouls.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the Golden Fleece team showed a strong offense, but they only had two shots, one on target and one off.

In the most ferocious 10 minutes of the start, the performance of the Bucks and Steel Horns was remarkable.

The tactical thinking of the Golden Fleece team was also fully exposed in the first 10 minutes.

Their offensive was basically concentrated on the right side of the Bucks Steel Horns, trying to avoid Gu Ran's left side as much as possible.

This is also the tactic that Golden Fleece coach Wilkinson emphasized before the game: Gu Ran is a stubborn stubble, try not to touch him!
From the very beginning of the game, Gu Ran was targeted by the Golden Fleece team's tactics!
Therefore, in the first 10 minutes, Gu Ran only touched the ball with two feet.

From this data alone, Gu Ran's technical score in the first 10 minutes was only 6 points at most.

However, with these two touches of the ball, Gu Ran completed two crucial clearances from the penalty area.

Gu Ran wasn't in a hurry, but was actively running around to help defend in the middle. At the same time...he was patiently reading the game, waiting for an opportunity.

In the south stands, those Southampton fans who had never seen Gu Ran play began to get anxious:
"This kick is too passive!"

"Yeah, it's been 10 minutes since the game started, and the Bucks and Steel Horns have only scored twice! They are all long passes out of touch between the midfield and the backcourt."

"Fake! If we continue to fight like this, our right side will be blown up!"

"What is Gravedigger Carter doing? He's still sitting on the bench at this moment without making a sound? Get up and spray!"

"There is also that Chinese kid, Gu Ran, before you came here, I heard you blow him up into a black-haired Bell, a black-haired Beckham, and a black-haired Lampard, but now he is acting very ordinary! Just follow the tool man Like!"

"I really don't understand, Southampton Club actually gave him the Star of Hope contract! And apply for a labor certificate for him!?"

"Oh, I really can't watch amateur games, I really shouldn't come."

Some fans who had watched Gu Ran play football argued with them:

"What do you know?"

"Didn't you see that the coach on the opposite side deliberately used tactics against Gu Ran?"

"Gu Ran can't lose the left side, and then run to the right side to defend!"

"Football is played by 11 people, why should the scene be ugly and blame Gu Ran!"

"Look, as long as you give Gu Ran a chance, Gu Ran will definitely make you kneel down and call Dad!"

In the west stand, the Cardiff neutral fans were also yawning and drowsy.

Although from an amateur point of view, the confrontation between the two sides is very fierce, but for Cardiff fans, this level of intensity is far worse than that of the professional league.

Watching this dull game, even if it's free, is a waste of time.

Some Cardiff fans are already bored and ready to leave.

The small club scouts in the main stand shook their heads:

"The Bucks Steelhorns can't do it."

"Yeah, it's an overall problem. Gu Ran alone can't sustain the crazy attack of the Golden Fleece Team."

"The head coach of the Golden Fleece team, Wilkinson, still has a bit of a brain. He regarded Gu Ran as the number one enemy when he came up. His attack strategy from the right side and the full-court pressing strategy are obviously aimed at Gu Ran. .Especially the full-court pressing tactics, mainly to cut off Gu Ran’s chance to get the ball from the middle.”

"I bet, in less than 20 minutes, the Golden Fleece team will be able to smash the right side of the Bucks and Steel Horns."

"After the Bucks and Steel Horns collapsed on the right, there will be no suspense and spectacle in this game."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

Scouts at other smaller clubs agree.

Only Emenalo, who was sitting in the third row, recorded his scouting notes calmly:
[...So, this is the biggest problem that Gu Ran faces in this game. This problem will definitely be encountered many times in his professional career in the future-as long as he is the core of the team, it is impossible not to be Tactical targeting.

I think that with Gu Ran's golf quotient, he seems to have realized that he has been targeted by tactics.

So, the question now is, can he crack it? ]
After writing this, Emenalo stopped the pen in his hand and looked at the situation on the court in a daze.

The 13th minute of the game:

The midfielder of the Golden Fleece team had an advantage in the physical confrontation with Watergate, directly pushed the watergate open, and stuffed the ball to the right of the Bucks and Steel Horns.

Jolly ran early, stopped the ball beautifully sideways, and dribbled the ball straight into the right rib of the Bucks Steel Horns.

The blind man chased after Qiao Li, and Hua Luo also pushed forward fiercely.

Joly saw that there was a gap in the middle, and immediately dribbled the ball inward to the middle.

Bread blocked the loophole in the middle in time, and took the first step to stick to Jolly tightly with his body, preventing Jolly from speeding up.

Jolly stretched out his hand to push Bread, and Bread grabbed Jolly's jersey with his backhand!
The action on both sides is great!

But the referee did not mean to stop the game.

At this time, Gu Ran, who was in the left rib area, suddenly left his position and went to the middle to support - behind him, a large gap appeared.

Gavin of the Golden Fleece team rushed directly towards Gu Ran to block Gu Ran's support for Bread.

Today, Gavin's task is to keep an eye on Gu Ran. As long as Gu Ran leaves his position, Gavin will immediately rush up to cover the harassment.

On the left side of the Bucks Steel Horns, Adama, the right forward of the Golden Fleece, suddenly accelerated, got rid of Xi Mei, and ran out of neutral!
Jolly glanced at Gu Ran's position, then forcibly pushed away Bread's close defense with his hand, and passed the ball directly to Adama!
The passing timing of this ball is very good!And the tactics are very clever!

When Xi Mei lost his defensive position and Gu Ran was about to be entangled by Gavin, the ball directly penetrated the left defense of the Bucks Steel Horns!

The fans in the south stand were all nervous!
The scouts at the smaller clubs were talking and laughing too, as if their predictions had come true.

Emenalo had an excited expression, and quickly wrote two words on the scouting notes: [Play!hunt! ]
Sure enough, at the same time as Qiao Li kicked his feet, Gu Ran suddenly stopped and turned around, speeding back to defend in an instant!
The little scouts in the main stand were stunned instantly!
Those Cardiff fans who originally thought the game was a bit boring, their eyes widened at this moment!

Such a turning speed... Who would believe you said you hadn't prepared it long ago?
The Golden Fleece head coach Wilkinson on the sidelines also felt his heart sinking at the moment!
Gu Ran's turning speed was as fast as lightning, and the starting speed was so fast that it made people's vision blurry!

The frequency of Gu Ran's legs instantly reached the peak speed of violent aesthetics!

After 13 minutes of silence, Gu Ran suddenly exploded at this moment!
Everyone was caught off guard!
Gaben was about to meet Gu Ran, but Gu Ran threw him away by two positions in an instant!
Gavin was dumbfounded!
Gavin subconsciously grabbed Gu Ran's jersey——

I can't even stand it!
In Gavin's eyes, it was as if Gu Ran had used the "flash skill", and he was gone in a blink of an eye!

Gavin quickly gritted his teeth and sped up the chase, but every second, he was thrown away by Gu Rando!
The difference in speed is becoming more and more obvious!
The fans at the scene became restless!

Coach Wilkinson standing on the sidelines couldn't help rubbing his nose anxiously.

At this time, Golden Fleece's right forward Adama has just stopped Jolly's pass——
