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

At this moment, in the visiting team's locker room, the players were singing and dancing around Gu Ran, and even the roof of the locker room was about to be blown off.

The Southampton team made history, and Gu Ran was the biggest contributor!

After celebrating for more than half an hour, the players' excitement calmed down under the intervention of Coach Adkins. Everyone took a shower when it was time, physical therapy when it was time, and oxygen when it was time.

During the physical therapy, Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and calculated his own growth value.

Today's game is more valuable than all previous games, and Gu Ran scored four points, with the highest score in the game, reaching 9.2 points!
  顾然的弹跳从81点提升到82点，短传从70点提升到71点，视野从71点提升到72点，抢断从66点提升到67点，冷静从72点提升到73点。

The system lottery was also very good. I won the golden right foot: precise long pass. This skill was immediately upgraded from +1 to +4.

In the reorganization of the wash point, Gu Ran changed the step and turn +6, and reorganized it into an enhanced step and turn +1.

Of the 6 talent points washed out, 3 were added to the shooting attribute, and the shooting attribute was immediately increased from 71 points to 74 points.

The other three talent points are added to the three weak technical attributes of marking, running, and stealing. In this way, the marking attribute is increased to 3, the running attribute is increased to 69, and the stealing attribute is increased to 70.

After Gu Ran finished his physiotherapy, all the members of the Southampton team took the bus and happily returned to the Staplewood training base.

All 11 games in November have ended!

All games were won! This has been the most perfect month for Southampton!
  Coach Adkins was also named the best coach in November, while Gu Ran was named the best player in November in English League One!
  Coach Adkins announced a two-day holiday and all players must return to the Staplewood training ground on December 12.

After his teammates dispersed, Gu Ran stayed in the restaurant at the training base to eat customized meals.

Rick, the personal affairs assistant, happily ran over with a pile of information.

"Hi! Gu! Your performance today is so handsome! The whole Southampton is crazy about you!"

"We haven't been able to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup for a long, long time. The credit for today's victory is all yours!"

"I really can't describe my love for you in words!"

Rick couldn't help but hugged Gu Ran and kissed Gu Ran hard on the face.

shit...

Gu Ran felt like he was about to vomit out the snack he had just eaten.

"Rick, cough, it's nothing. Although I was the one who scored the goal, victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts - by the way, you should be here to deliver the schedule for December."

Rick nodded quickly, "Yes, but before the schedule, I want to show you the enemies we may face in the League Cup quarter-finals."

With that said, Rick handed Gu Ran the results of several other League Cup quarter-final matches.

Gu Ran took it and took a look, and couldn't help but secretly take a breath.

Manchester United eliminated Birmingham 5:1 - there was no suspense about this. Manchester United around 2010 was definitely an invincible overlord.

The other two shocking knockout matches: Tottenham eliminated Liverpool 2:1, Chelsea drew 3:3 with Arsenal in regular time, both sides scored 1 goal each in overtime, and finally Chelsea was eliminated through a penalty shootout. Lost the Arsenal team that sold many captains.

This also means that Southampton's future opponents will be among the three teams: Manchester United, Tottenham, and Chelsea.

The quarter-finals of the English League Cup will be played over two rounds, one at home and one away. No matter who Southampton faces, it will be a very difficult game.

Of course, if they can win the quarter-finals, Southampton will be able to tie the club's record of runner-up finishes.

Rick added: "The League Cup schedule will not be available until January next year, so we can relax in December. The draw for the game will also start in mid-December."

Gu Ran nodded and took the December schedule handed over by Rick.

There are a total of 12 games in December, which is relatively easier than the 7 games in November.

The first game will be at 12pm on Saturday, December 4th. In the 3th round of the English League One, Southampton will face Hartlip at home.

The second game will be at 12:8 pm on Wednesday, December 7th, in the semi-finals of the Southern Division of the British Championship Pioneer Cup. Southampton will face Milton Keynes at home.

The third game will be at 12pm on Saturday, December 11th. In the 3th round of the English League One, Southampton will challenge Bristol Rovers away from home.

The fourth game, at 12:14 pm on Tuesday, December 7th, in the 45th round of the English League One, Southampton faced Yeovil Town at home.

The fifth game, at 12 pm on Saturday, December 18, in the 3st round of the English League One, Southampton faced Dagenham away from home.

The sixth game, at 12 pm on Sunday, December 26, in the 3nd round of the English League One, Southampton faced Exeter City at home. The seventh game, at 22 pm on Tuesday, December 12, in the 28rd round of the English League One, Southampton faced Plymouth at home.

After playing 12 games in December, the first half of the season is over and the winter window period has begun.

Throughout December, there were almost no deadly confrontations. The only one that counted was the focus game, which was probably the South Division semi-final of the British Championship against Milton Keynes on December 12.

Gu Ran put away the schedule, exchanged a few words with Rick, and then drove back to the Dune Villa for ice and fire therapy and went to bed to rest.

On December 12th, in the 4th round of the English League One, Southampton played against Hartlips at home.

Hartlip is a weak mid-table team, temporarily ranked 16th in the English League One standings.

Therefore, in today's game, Coach Adkins also sent all his main players to play, and Gu Ran sat on the bench in case of emergencies.

The two sides played back and forth in the first half. In the 32nd minute, Hartlip created chaos in front of the goal through a corner kick. In the chaos, he kicked the ball into Southampton's goal and gained the lead.

After taking the lead, the Hartlips went all out on defense.

Southampton's substitutes kept bombarding, and finally Garrod scored the equalizing goal before the end of the first half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but the scene was still anxious and ugly.

Until the 80th minute, the score of both sides did not expand.

Coach Adkins made a decisive substitution and took off Connolly, who had performed poorly in this game, and moved Gu Ran directly to the forward position.

This substitution had an immediate impact.

Less than half a minute after coming on the field, Gu Ran retreated to his own penalty area to steal the ball, and then ran 10 meters in 75 seconds. With his super physical fitness and violent aesthetic sprint speed, he penetrated the whole team in one wave. The Hartlips' three-layer defense broke into the penalty area and shot directly!
  The score was immediately changed to Southampton 2:1 Hartlip!
  Southampton fans at St. Mary's Stadium are delighted!

Then, in the 86th minute of the game, Gu Ran dribbled in front of the penalty area. Hartlip pushed someone from behind and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card!
  It has to be said that today's referee is still biased towards Southampton. Firstly, this is Southampton's home court. Secondly, as Southampton's hottest star, Gu Ran will definitely spend money on the Southampton club. Great efforts were made by the Referee Alliance to ensure that Gu Ran would not be maliciously targeted.

British referees, haha... it's all the same.

After Hartlip was sent off one player, Gu Ran took a free kick from a good position.

Gu Ran was not polite and kicked the full moon scimitar with a fatal elevator to score another goal.

On the big screen at St. Mary's Stadium, the score was immediately rewritten as Southampton 3:1 Hartlip.

Hartlip's team, which was missing one man, suffered a devastating defeat.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Gu Ran dribbled the ball into the penalty area and sent a beautiful through-crotch ball under the double-team of five defensive players. Garrod, who followed in the back row, easily pushed the ball. , the score became Southampton 1:4 Hartlip.

In the end, Southampton relied on Gu Ran's appearance in the last ten minutes to completely defeat the Hartlips, take three points in the 18th round of the English League One, and continue to lead the English League One.

紧接着，3天之后的12月8号星期三晚上7点45分，英锦赛先锋优胜杯南部赛区的半决赛开战了。

Southampton plays at home against Milton Keynes, also a team in the upper reaches of League One.

This is not the first time the two sides have played against each other this season. This game is also a relatively important knockout match. Therefore, Southampton's main players have all returned after a round of rest.

Gu Ran continued to serve as the defensive midfielder.

At the beginning of the first half, Southampton adopted a full-court high-pressure offensive posture.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Gu Ran intercepted the ball in the middle and broke through to the front of Milton Keynes' penalty area with a violent aesthetic. He sent a beautiful magic lamp through the ball. Chamberlain inserted into the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle. The football was missed by Milton Keynes. The central defender blocked it with his foot and rolled into his own door.

Milton Kelce gave an own goal at the beginning!
  Southampton got off to a fantastic start and all the players were smiling - except for Oxlade-Chamberlain who should have scored.

Originally, this goal was supposed to be Chamberlain's goal, but it turned out to be an own goal from the opposite team.

Chamberlain was about to explode.

In the 14th minute of the game, Lambert passed the ball to Gu Ran. Gu Ran stopped the ball with his right foot and passed the ball directly to Lallana who broke into the penalty area with his left foot. Lallana shot hard - the football was blocked. Milton Keynes' goalkeeper saved the end goal.

Southampton wins a corner kick.

Gu Ran took the corner kick and drove the ball to the back point. High school defender Jayidi shook his head and hit the goal. Southampton scored another victory!
  The score on the big screen was rewritten as Southampton 2:0 Milton Keynes.
