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

In the 72nd minute of the game, Rooney Rodwell Jr. dribbled the ball in the middle and sprinted.

Gu Ran went directly to intercept Rodwell.

Rodwell did not slow down and relied on his own body and speed to try to eat Gu Ran alive.

Gu Ran immediately pressed his body against Rodwell, instantly forcing Rodwell, who was like a human tank, to slow down.

Rodwell also didn't expect that the seemingly thin Gu Ran could be so strong in confrontation!
Rodwell quickly raised his elbows and pushed Gu Ran's ribs hard.

Gu Ran grabbed Rodwell's arm and forcefully pulled his elbow away!

The confrontation between the two in the midfield was visibly heated to the naked eye!
And it's clear that Rodwell doesn't have the upper hand!
Everton's other midfielder, Fellaini, who had just injured Arteta's brain and left the field, quickly ran up to respond.

Fellaini hugged Gu Ran's waist from behind and blocked Gu Ran's interception defense with a foul.

At this time, Southampton's players also double-teamed and responded. Lambert took the opportunity to shovel the ball away from Rodwell's feet!
The Southampton fans and Liverpool fans at the scene all cheered crazily!
Southampton's defense is really exciting!

Schneiderlin on the right picked up the shoveled ball on the sideline, and then quickly took the ball down to the bottom!
Southampton's counterattack is here again!

After the British star Rodwell was substituted, he still did not stop Southampton's counterattack!
Fortunately, Everton's defense is not bad either.

Everton's players quickly positioned themselves to block the penalty area.

Gu Ran also took the opportunity to get rid of Fellaini's defense and quickly penetrated into the top of the penalty area.

Schneiderlin forced his foot to pass under the pressure of the opposite left back Leighton Bynes.

But the ball was passed too big!
Gu Ran tried his best to take off, but couldn't reach the high ball.

After receiving the ball, Chamberlain on the left wing immediately cooperated with Gu Ran, who had penetrated into the left rib, and passed Everton's right back Seamus Coleman. Chamberlain dribbled the ball down to the base near the baseline. An inverted triangle cross!
Gurley, who was located at the junction of the large penalty area and the small penalty area, jumped high and bombed with a header!

Everton's goalkeeper Howard was in an excellent position and saved the ball subconsciously!

Gu Ran penetrated diagonally from the left rib like a ghost, got the first position between Yagaiuka and Heitinga, and directly pushed violently from a small angle!

Howard saves twice!He poked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips!

"wow!"

Southampton fans and Liverpool fans all lamented!

This wave of consecutive shots is really beautiful.

Chamberlain's cooperation with Gu Ran on the left wing is very good, Chamberlain's cross is also very accurate, Gurley's header is also very powerful, and Gu Ran's ghost in the back row is also very good at picking up the miss...

However, football is round.

Howard's performance today was heroic!

This was one of the few times Gu Ran failed to score a shot.

Gu Ran himself smiled and shook his head.

This shot was really difficult to shoot. Without the world-class double-teaming of Jagiellonka and Heitinga, Gu Ran would have more time to adjust the angle and even use fake moves to deceive Howard.

However, Jagiewka and Heitinga's defensive pressure ability is really strong, and Howard also predicted in advance that Gu Ran could only play from the near corner.

This is the ability of the Premier League's top defense!
A raging fire lit up in Gu Ran's heart.

Although the goal was not scored, Southampton still got a corner kick from the left.

Gu Ran walked to the corner kick area and kicked the ball to the back point.

Jaidi sprinted and jumped from the back row, but unfortunately, he headed the ball high.

The Everton Toffees breathed a huge sigh of relief, and then the Toffees shouted dissatisfiedly: "Substitute"!
During the second half, especially when Arteta was injured and left the field, Everton played chaotically and was visibly passive.

If this is a match against Liverpool, Everton fans may still be able to accept it, after all, Liverpool's overall strength is there.

But this is playing against Southampton in the English League One!
In the 72nd minute of the second half, the score was still 1:1, and the scene was still so passive. Everton fans were naturally very dissatisfied!
Moyes in the technical area on the sidelines also had a headache.

He originally expected this to be a game without any suspense. Everton should have led by at least 3 goals in the first half. However, in this situation, instead of establishing an advantage, Everton even It's on the verge of danger.

Moyes really doesn't want to use Tim Cahill, nor does he want to use Phillip Neville - this is Everton's family fortune, and Everton still wants to compete for sixth place in the Premier League!If today's League Cup game consumes too much physical energy, they will struggle when they play against Manchester United three days later.

Moyes hesitated and finally decided to make a substitution.

There is not much time left in the game. If substitutions are not made in time, the score will be dragged into overtime with a score of 1:1, which will have a greater impact on the Everton team.

So, Tim Cahill and Phillip Neville took off their pants at the same time and started warming up on the sidelines!
When the Everton fans saw this, they immediately erupted into a roar like a tsunami!
At this time, the game on the field is still continuing!Rodwell broke through with the ball in the middle, and Gu Ran, Lambert, and Lallana formed a triangle to strangle Rodwell.

Rodwell broke through from Lallana's side, but after Rodwell knocked away Lallana, Gu Ran, who had predicted the route when passing the ball, intercepted it.

After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately drove forward with the ball!

Rodwell, who lost the ball, quickly slid and tackled fiercely, trying to intercept Gu Ran.

However, Gu Ran's speed was much faster than Rodwell expected!
Rodwell scooped up!
Rodwell was completely defeated in the duel with Gu Ran!
The son of Gu Ranfeng and the king of Highbury are in full swing!

A big hole was opened in Everton's defense in an instant!

Yagaiuka and Heitinga quickly intercepted Gu Ran's sprint.

At the same time, Lallana took the opportunity to insert into the penalty area from behind Heitinga and Jagaiuka.

Gu Ran spotted the gap between Yagaiuka and Heitinga while running, and kicked the magic lamp straight into it!
Yagaiuka did the splits to the extreme, but in the end he couldn't touch the ball that was rushing through!

The ball is not offside!Lallana's movement is perfect!

Lallana stopped with his right foot and pushed the goal with his left foot!

Howard quickly jumped up to save!
The football almost flew past Howard's fingertips——

The ball is in!
The referee signaled that the goal is valid!
Lallana knelt down excitedly and hugged Gu Ran's thigh!

The Everton fans at the scene were stunned!
The Liverpool fans and Southampton fans at the scene cheered wildly!

In the 75th minute of the game!When Everton was about to replace Tim Cahill and Philip Neville, Southampton took the lead through a beautiful counterattack!
On the big screen at Goodison Park, the score was immediately rewritten as Everton 1:2 Southampton!
Now, the pressure has been completely put on the Everton team.

As a veteran Premier League team, if it is eliminated by a League One team at its home court, there really will be no place for this old face.

Moyes brought on Tim Cahill and Phillip Neville in one go.

Cahill replaced the "internal version of Rooney" Jose Baxter, while Philip Neville replaced the "little quickie" Leon Osman who was tortured to death by Gu Ran.

However, Leon Osman's right midfield position was replaced by right back Seamus Coleman, and the right back was played by "Beauty Helen" Heitinga, who received a yellow card.

Captain Philip Neville, who had just been replaced, took Heitinga's position.

This kind of change of position can also prevent the defense in the middle from shrinking.

As soon as Cahill and Philip Neville came on the court, Everton's morale improved significantly, and Everton's Toffees fans sang the team anthem excitedly.

This is Everton's true starting lineup - minus Arteta, of course.

However, Philip Neville can serve as half of Arteta. Philip Neville is a panacea in the backcourt. Although he stands in the central defender position, at critical times, he can step up and act as a defensive midfielder, while Baines , Yagaiuka, and Heitinga can quickly gather to form a three-back.

Everton's ability to stay in the Premier League depends not only on its physically aggressive offense, but also on its solid defense.

The game continues.

The effect of Everton's substitutions was almost immediate.

In the 79th minute of the game, Philip Neville launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt. Villaletinov on the right side of the frontcourt returned the ball. Rodwell grabbed the second spot and accelerated with the ball.

Gu Ran stepped forward to intercept, but Rodwell did not force it this time. Instead, as soon as Gu Ran started, he kicked the ball directly to the right side of the penalty area.

Tim Cahill, who had just come on the field, was extremely fast. When faced with a high ball, he jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal!

There is a loophole in Southampton's marking!
Although this vulnerability only lasts for two seconds, it is already fatal enough in this level of competition!
Tim Cahill is obviously only 178cm tall, but his header skills are too strong!

The football is like a supercharged cannonball, hitting the far corner of the goal!

There is nothing Davis can do...

The ball is in!
Everton's cooperation is so smooth and skillful!
Moyes' substitution effect exploded!Phillip Neville and Tim Cahill equalized the score as soon as they came on!
On the big screen at Goodison Park, the score was immediately rewritten as Everton 2:2 Southampton!
Everton Toffees fans cheered and shouted wildly!

Although the score is still tied, Everton's morale is back!

Counting injury time, there are 15 minutes left in this game!

And if they keep playing like this, Everton has a good chance of winning!
The pressure of the situation was on Southampton.
