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

Chapter 353 Iron-Blooded Gu Ran!Lock up Kanu!The top brother on the list is here!The goalkeeper got a handball in the penalty area! ?

In Portsmouth's formation, Nugent and Kanu are positioned as centers, not forwards.

There is a difference between the center and the forward at the tactical level. To put it simply, the center does not need to drop back to get the ball when attacking, nor does it need to retract to defend when defending, while the forward needs to drop back to get the ball and retract to defend depending on the situation. .

Portsmouth's 442 obviously has a more offensive mentality, while Southampton's two-forward tactics are more cautious.

Therefore, both teams are 442, but there is still a big difference in the playing styles of the two teams.

Plymouth's left midfielder is No. 29 Richard van Silland.

This player's crosses are good, his teamwork is very high, and his physical confrontation is strong enough.

The right midfielder is the Irish international No. 7, Liam Lawrence.

Liam Lawrence is good at passing and running without the ball. He is also very creative. He has rich experience in competitions, fierce defense and strong aggression.

Gu Ran was facing him today.

The two midfielders are No. 11 Michael Brown and No. 8 Harden Mullins.

Both of these players were once international players for the England youth team.

Michael Brown is very aggressive, very fierce in defense, and likes to use his body to be tough. In previous games, pushing people, tripping people, and even shoveling opponents away were all his routine operations.

Harden Mullins has excellent physical fitness and is also very good at defensive interception and replacement.

These two defensive players act as a natural gate in the midfield.

Portsmouth's No. 6 left back is the 36-year-old veteran, Icelandic international Herman Hredalson.

The height of 191cm gives him a physical advantage in confrontations on the left wing, and he is good at heading the ball. In addition, he is also a first-class presence on the field in terms of defensive experience.

The right back is No. 14 Jonathan Hogg.

This player is on loan from Aston Villa. He is only 174cm tall, but his past steal statistics are very impressive.

The center back is No. 33 Ricardo Rocha, and No. 4 captain Aaron Mokoina.

Ricardo Rocha is a Portuguese international and teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Aaron Mokoina is a South African national team player. He is strong and powerful and is a typical fierce defensive player.

He is best at the defensive midfielder and central defender positions, and often takes the initiative to steal from the defensive midfielder position.

He runs aggressively, intercepts accurately and tackles fiercely without being sloppy. He is a typical engineer player who specializes in dirty work.

In the South African national team, Mokoina is nicknamed "Mbazo", which means axe, referring to his fierce tackling style in the game.

When Portsmouth played against Everton in the Premier League last year, Mokoina and Everton player Pienaar, who is also a teammate of the national team, tackled unceremoniously and sent Pienaar off the field early for treatment.

His ruthless toughness is evident.

Portsmouth's goalkeeper is No. 1 Jamie Ashdown.

This player is 191cm tall and weighs 93kg. He has excellent jumping ability and strong one-on-one ability. He likes to take the initiative and seek confrontation. He is a typical "gatekeeper" type defender and has good instant reactions - he just concedes too many goals.

All in all, the Portsmouth team has at least half of the international team, and they are all tough and highly confrontational and aggressive.

Portsmouth also relied on this fierce and personal confrontational style of play to gain a foothold in the Premier League. Although Portsmouth is only a lower-tier team in the Premier League, when any team encounters Portsmouth, it will It's inevitable that your heart will be tight.

Today's game is also a duel between two teams that also have Premier League teams. Players from both sides are also ready to fight to the death from the beginning!
Members of the Fratton Brotherhood lit blue fireworks in the west stand, and the atmosphere of the entire stadium was pushed to a peak!
beep!
At 7:45, the referee on duty blew his whistle, and the South Coast Derby officially began!
First up was Portsmouth kick-off.

Center No. 10 David Nugent knocked the ball back to No. 11 Michael Brown.

As soon as Michael Brown got the ball, Southampton started a high press and pressed forward as a whole.

Michael Brown was not in a hurry to pass the ball, but dribbled diagonally to his right at high speed.

Lallana and Lambert immediately double-teamed Michael Brown.

For "three good students" like Lallana and Lambert, this game also became obviously fierce.

Michael Brown turned around to protect the ball, roughly bumped Lambert away with his shoulder, and then accelerated with the ball!
Defensive midfielder Hammond immediately took over and came directly to block Michael Brown, preventing him from continuing to dribble arrogantly.

Michael Brown doesn't have any extraordinary skills, he just drives the ball hard!

boom!
The two fell to the ground at the same time, and the football bounced off the right sideline.

Players from both sides started fighting with fists and fists!

Fans from both sides were roaring with passion!
Southampton's right back Richardson ran to pick up the ball and was about to throw the ball in quickly, but Portsmouth's No. 6 left back Hermann Hredarson rushed up and stretched out his hand to grab it from Richardson. football.

Both of them were in a murderous state, not giving in to the other, and both of them were shouting and yelling at each other.

The referee quickly intervened and clearly awarded the ball to the attacking team Portsmouth.

Southampton fans booed wildly.

The Portsmouth fans cheered and applauded proudly.

Herman Hredalson reached for the ball from Richardson, but Richardson simply threw the ball at his feet and quickly ran back to his position.

Although the two did not fight directly, the details were full of gunpowder.

Before the throw-in, all Portsmouth players passed half the court and were looking to score a goal within the first 3 minutes. However, Southampton players retreated to defend in the penalty area to attack key players. Play man-to-man defense.

Gu Ran ran to Kanu's side.

Kanu glanced down at Gu Ran disdainfully.

Gu Ran immediately clung to Kanu's lower back.

Kanu secretly used his strength to carry it... Gu Ran didn't move at all!
Kanu suddenly took a breath!
At this time, the Plymouth team took a throw-in, and No. 29 left midfielder Richard van Heerland received the ball while running.

Schneiderlin immediately blocked Van Heerland and prevented him from easily turning around and shooting the ball.

Van Heerland was not polite and directly hit Schneiderlin in the chest with a concealed elbow, knocking Schneiderlin back half a step.

Van Heerland took the opportunity to turn around and make a short pass towards the penalty area.

No. 8 Harden Mullins pushed away Lambert who was guarding him, and kicked the ball to David Nugent who had penetrated into the penalty area.

David Nugent turned around very quickly after stopping the ball, and with his toes he passed Hammond who blindly stretched his feet to steal. Before Jaydi rushed to block it, he passed the ball to 27 on the left side of the penalty area. No. Nwankwo Kanu!
This ball is given beautifully!

Almost penetrated most of Southampton's defense!
Kanu had a good shooting opportunity. He could jump and head the ball directly to the goal without stopping!
Under Gu Ran's mountainous resistance, Kanu forced himself to jump——

Gu Ran and Kanu took off simultaneously, triggering a header +3 trigger!

Heading is not Gu Ran's strong point, but it is even less Kanu's strong point!

Although Kanu is 197cm tall, his take-off height is really not that high, and under Gu Ran’s strong physical confrontation, Kanu’s center of gravity after taking off was obviously a bit unbalanced!
Gu Ran hit the ball first with half a shot, but Kanu didn't stop, but directly hit Gu Ran's chin hard!

Gu Ran suddenly felt like stars were shining in his eyes, and his mouth was filled with the taste of blood like rust.

Both of them fell in the penalty area, and the football bounced to the ground!
Fans from both sides screamed in surprise!

But the referee did not blow the whistle to suspend the game!

Portsmouth's midfielders and frontcourt players were all rushing over to grab the ball!

After Gu Ran fell to the ground, he got up instantly using his hands and feet. He caught up with the football with a teleportation step, half-turned to protect the ball, and used his body to block the first rushing forward No. 7 right midfielder Liam Lawrence!
Before Liam Lawrence could stretch his foot, Gu Ran made a gorgeous Marseille spin, protecting the ball and turning around Liam Lawrence at the same time!

The fans at the scene exclaimed!
You know, this is in Southampton's penalty area!
Gu Ran got up instantly after being knocked down, and completed a wonderful pass in a dangerous area with extreme calmness!

Liam Lawrence, who was passed over, was immediately dumbfounded!

By the time Liam Lawrence reacted and reached out to pull Gu Ran, Gu Ran had already gotten rid of Liam Lawrence!

Without waiting for the other Portsmouth defensive players to rush in and double-team him, Gu Ran directly passed the ball from the backcourt to the open left wing!

This ball awareness is unparalleled!

"Yeah yeah!"

Southampton fans cheered wildly!

The Ran live broadcast room was also filled with barrages of "f*ck", "666", "too fierce", "real man", and "this is football"!

Southampton's offensive and defensive transition is really exciting!
Gu Ran not only made a crucial defensive clearance when facing the once world-class legendary genius Kanu, but also relied on his desperate will and calm extraordinary ball protection skills to promote the entire Southampton team's counterattack!
This is only the first 2 minutes!
When Gu was making a direct pass from the backcourt, left midfielder Chamberlain started quickly!
Chamberlain was as excited as if he had been given a shot of blood. After all, this was the second time in such a long time that Gu Ran had passed the ball to him!

The last time he passed the ball was without him realizing it!

And this time, as a super fast horse on the wing, he was finally able to fully enjoy this quick counterattack!

Chamberlain used all his sprint speed to chase the ball!
The Portsmouth fans looked at Chamberlain's speed and gasped in amazement!

How fast!
This is the first time for Portsmouth fans to see such a fast 17-year-old wide player!
Just when Chamberlain rushed across the half court and was about to touch the ball, Portsmouth's defenders also quickly retreated to intercept.

No. 14 right back Jonathan Hogg sprinted over from the side and followed Chamberlain's legs with a vicious sliding tackle!

Chamberlain was tackled even while dribbling the ball!

The football rolled and flew out of the sideline!
The Portsmouth fans clenched their fists and shouted happily!

Jonathan Hogg got up first and spat in front of Chamberlain.

Chamberlain stood up angrily and butted Jonathan Hogg with his chest!

Jonathan Hogg refused to give in, staring into Chamberlain's eyes, nose against Chamberlain's nose, mouth against Chamberlain's mouth.

It seems that the two of them are about to get serious!
The referee and linesman immediately intervened, and other players quickly separated the two.

Portsmouth fans booed Chamberlain wildly.

Southampton fans don't care about Chamberlain, but they are all worried about Gu Ran.

Gu Ran had just collided with Kanu, and the corners of his mouth were covered in blood.

Kanu must have known that he couldn't get the header, so he deliberately hit it hard.

The impact point this time was still on the lower jaw, and ordinary people simply couldn't withstand such impact force.

After the collision, Kanu did not apologize to Gu Ran, but got up and ran away with a grin on his face.

After Gu Ran made a roundabout pass from Marseille, he did not follow the sprint immediately. Instead, he squatted down and held the turf to slow down for a long time.

It really hurts!It hurts to see stars in my eyes!
If it weren't for the 81 constitution and the Tin Man's +6 body protection, this wave would have to go directly to the field to heal.

The South Coast Derby is really going to death!

At this moment, the live broadcast room was filled with barrage:

"Is Gu Ran okay?"

"Damn it, it hurt just now through the phone screen!" "This level of confrontation is simply impossible to see in domestic competitions."

"Is the referee blind? Kanu obviously did it on purpose!"

"English football is not that squeamish, not to mention this is a rival derby."

"It's really too fierce and too hard-working!"

"Gu Ran is afraid that he is injured and may end up."

"Well, we Chinese players are not naturally confrontational. Gu Ran can forcefully protect the ball and pass the ball directly into the backcourt to instigate a counterattack after being hit and bleeding. It is already quite remarkable."

"..."

Taking advantage of the dead ball, captain Davis, vice-captain Walton and others all ran to Gu Ran to ask.

"Gu, how are you? Do you want to change?"

"No need." Gu Ran took a sip of blood foam, raised his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, showing an almost ferocious smile, "I haven't started yet."

Wharton asked worriedly: "Gu, are you really okay? Don't hold on!"

"It's okay! Keep fucking them!"

With that said, Gu Ran ran forward and participated in the foul ball attack.

When other Southampton players saw that Gu Ran was slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line, their morale was immediately boosted!

Southampton fans stood up and cheered crazily!

There were also all kinds of barrages in the live broadcast room:

"Gu Ran is awesome!"

"I thought Gu Ran would end up, but I didn't expect Gu Ran to be so tough!"

"The corners of Gu Ran's mouth were covered with blood, and then he wiped it dry and continued to fight! A true iron-blooded man!"

"He has the style of the national football team of Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai's generation!"

"Damn! Isn't this what we lack most now?"

"In the future, who is going to say that Chinese players can't compete physically? It's just a selection problem! So many good players have been buried, and the ones selected are all sea cucumber players who can give gifts!"

"That's right! The domestic football environment is rotten to the core! It's hard for us to see players like Gu Ran! Gu Ran, please don't go back to play in this big dyeing vat in China! If you are short of money, we will give you a gift , use big rockets!"

"If you need a wife, I'll give it to you!"

"Damn it! Your friend upstairs wants to get rid of you, right?"

"Gu Ran! Come on! Just play in Europe! Let them have a taste of Chinese daddy!"

"The beginning is so exciting! It's worth staying up late today! Hahaha!"

"I'm already taking my pants off!"

The live broadcast room was bombarded with all kinds of gifts: Happy Worship 964 gave a super big rocket, Maxim Small Noodle Ball gave a super big rocket, immlaufung gave a super big rocket, S_nine gave a super big rocket...

The game only lasted 3 minutes, and the barrage interaction in the live broadcast room broke the previous record!

At around 3 a.m., the number of online viewers easily exceeded 15!The gifts go straight to the 5 mark!
Happy Worship 964 ranks as the top brother in the live broadcast room list!

The official name of Happy Worship 964 was immediately added with the golden affix "Big Brother on the List", and the name of Maxim Xiaomianqiu was also preceded by the silver affix "Big Brother on the List"!

On the green field, the heated game continued.

After Southampton took a throw-in, Portsmouth immediately pressed closely.

Both sides made great moves, with various pushes, elbows, and behind-the-back tackles coming one after another.

The game was extremely intense, and almost every second was spent in high-intensity confrontation.

Head coach Adkins gave loud on-the-spot instructions on the sidelines, asking the players to reduce dribbling and play more behind the ball.

Portsmouth head coach Cotterill asked his players to strengthen their close defense and choke.

The two sides went back and forth near the midfield.

Portsmouth had a slight advantage at both ends of the court thanks to the brutality of the midfield double gate.

In the first 25 minutes of the first half, Gu Ran used his physical advantage to overturn No. 7 Liam Lawrence multiple times.

When Gu Ran got the ball, at least three Portsmouth players tackled him roughly.

Gu Ran's back, arms, and calves were all violated and attacked by Portsmouth players.

But even so, Gu Ran still sent two extremely threatening 45-degree long passes.

Unfortunately, under the rough and close defense of Portsmouth players, Lallana and Gurley were unable to successfully stop the ball and form a shot.

Portsmouth also had three shooting opportunities. The first time was a sudden shot outside the penalty area, and the football was higher than the goal. The second time was a header in front of a corner kick on the right wing, but it hit the door frame. The third time It was center David Nugent who grabbed a shovel shot in front of the goal, but Davis, who was highly focused, blocked it with his legs.

Kanu is almost misfired at this point.

Kanu was in position for many offensive penetrations, but because of Gu Ran's quick coverage and defense, Kanu had a world-class ability to stop the ball, but he was unable to provide tactical support to his teammates, let alone pass the ball. , it was difficult to even get rid of Gu Ran and move to catch up.

Kanu was also full of anger, and the movements of his hands became larger and larger.

Gu Ran is not used to Kanu's problems at all - what's wrong with you being a world-class legend?What's wrong with you having a heart disease?What’s wrong with you being an inspirational idol?I'll fuck you anyway!
Without Kanu, a key tactical fulcrum, Portsmouth's offense seemed fierce, but in fact it lacked an important link in front of the goal, while Southampton was finally safe.

Although neither side scored a goal, the match was not dull at all. Fans from both sides roared and cheered from beginning to end. The passion in the stands did not stop for a second!

At the 29th minute of the game, the battle between the two sides had reached a fever pitch.

Portsmouth midfielders Harden Mullins and Michael Brown double-teamed Lallana, who broke through with the ball.

Harden Mullins pushed Lallana directly to the ground, and Michael Brown took the opportunity to pick up the football.

Southampton fans booed wildly, but the referee signaled for the game to continue.

Michael Brown dribbled the ball straight in, and Lambert and Schneiderlin closed the door and double-teamed.

Michael Brown immediately distributed the ball and made a one-two with his own left midfielder Van Heerland.

Michael Brown knocked away the pressing Hammond, and then sent a crisp through ball into the open area in the middle of the penalty area.

Center David Nugent quickly crossed the floor, touched the ball first, and passed the ball short to Kanu on the left!

Kanu used his reverse foot to stop the ball perfectly!

Walton immediately moved in to block Kanu!
Kanu made a nimble dunk with his feet, tricking Walton into blocking the ball on the right side. When Walton's center of gravity shifted, Kanu quickly dodged to the left and penetrated into the small penalty area!
Walton is out of position!
The Portsmouth fans cheered excitedly, they seemed to have seen the first goal!
However, just when Kanu was dribbling the ball straight in, Gu Ran predicted Kanu's movement in advance, teleported over, and made a sliding tackle of death!
Tackles in the penalty area are very dangerous. If you tackle an opponent's player, even if you touch the ball first, you will most likely be awarded a penalty kick by the blind referee!

Gu Ran's sliding tackle of death was just right, he scooped the ball down accurately and kept the ball in place!

Kanu had no time to retract his legs and was tripped by Gu Ran and fell into the penalty area!

This tackle is clean and has no issues at all!
"wooooooow!"

Southampton fans are excited!

The Portsmouth fans were stunned!

Gu Ran is simply a Canuck star!Kanu worked very hard today, but he still couldn't get past Gu Ran!
At this time, goalkeeper Davis pounced on him in time and scooped the ball at Gu Ran's feet!

The Portsmouth players immediately raised their hands to complain. They thought the ball was a handball foul from the goalkeeper!

The scene suddenly became chaotic again, with players from both sides arguing in front of the goal. The smell of gunpowder filled the air, and it looked like another fight was about to begin!

The live broadcast room was also confused:
"What? What are the Portsmouth players complaining about in such a hurry?"

"It seems like... a goalkeeper's handball? Wait, what the hell is a goalkeeper's handball?"

"Can anyone explain it to me? @MAXIM小面球!"

"Do you still use @MAXIM小面球大哥 for this kind of thing? I can explain it to you! The goalkeeper is allowed to catch the ball with his hands in the penalty area, but if he uses his hands to catch the ball back from his own player's limbs, It will be judged as a handball by the goalkeeper and a free kick will be taken in the penalty area."

"Damn it! It's been a long time since I've seen you! There was actually a handball foul by the goalkeeper and a free kick in the penalty area!"

"This kind of situation is generally very rare, so it's normal that some fans don't know about it."

"Returning the ball with four limbs? I can understand passing the ball with legs and feet. Can our players still pass it back with their hands?"

"Yes, the sideline throw-in is made with the hands. The goalkeeper cannot catch the ball with the hands in the penalty area, otherwise it will be a handball foul."

"However, like in the scene just now, Gu Ran just shoveled the ball in place to protect it and did not make a pass. It was their goalkeeper Davis who took the initiative to get the ball, so it was not a goalkeeper's handball at all, nor would it be Penalty free kick inside the penalty area.”

"The Portsmouth team are absolutely scoundrels!"

"Gu Ran's defense is really awesome. His tackle just now was powerful and precise!"

"Haha, Kanu was probably scared out of his mind! He probably thought he was going to break his leg just now!"

At this time, the referee on the field made a penalty - Davis illegal handball, Portsmouth won a free kick in the small penalty area!
As soon as this penalty was issued, the Portsmouth fans at the scene excitedly waved their star-and-moon blue flags.

The Southampton fans shook their fists and roared angrily, booing the referee for being unfair!

The fans in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded:

"Damn it, I will never be a crow again!"

"Holy shit! Is the referee blind?"

"Nah, I thought the domestic referees would just make blind calls, but I didn't expect the domestic referees to be the same!"

"Fuck Portsmouth!"

On the green field, Davis Walton and others angrily surrounded the referee to complain.

The referee put his hand in the card pocket and warned Davis not to pester him again, otherwise he would be subject to a yellow card.

Davis had no choice but to give up the appeal.

After all, the referee is the biggest player on the court.

This free kick is only 8 meters away from the goal, 3 meters closer than the penalty kick spot!
Kanu took a deep breath and stood at the penalty spot.

Southampton's tall players lined up in front of the goal line, and together with captain Davis, blocked the goal tightly.

Gu Ran stood in the small penalty area, ready to respond——
