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

Manchester United's penalty area was full of people. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had to guard against Gu Ran's direct shot, and at the same time guard against Gu Ran's coordinated performance with Lallana.

However, this time, Lallana did not run up to perform a tactical performance with Gu Ran.

After all, if you do something like a tactical performance once or twice, it's fine, but if you do it more often, it won't work.

Especially facing a cautious team like Manchester United, it is basically impossible to score through the tactical performance that has been exposed.

Gu Ran glanced at Van der Sar's stance, and then opened an exquisite arc like a full-moon scimitar with his big foot.

Accompanied by the gasps of the Manchester United fans, the football jumped over the jumping wall and fell into the weak area behind.

Jaidi outflanks from behind!

However, Rio Ferdinand obviously reacted faster. He stepped back in a stack of steps, jumped back half a beat, blocked Jaidi's fight, and sailed the ball out of Manchester United's penalty area.

Little Pea is ready to fight for the ball and launch a quick counterattack!

Mikel directly made a sliding tackle, connected the ball with the ball, and knocked the little pea to the ground.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and sentenced Mikel for a foul. However, because Mikel tackled the ball first, he did not show Mikel a yellow card. He only issued a verbal warning and awarded the ball to Manchester United.

Mikel's tackle and interception was very crucial. If it hadn't been for Mikel's tackle, with the speed and flexibility of Little Pea, he would have counterattacked all the way to Southampton's penalty area.

Mikel's foul also broke Manchester United's counterattack and gave Southampton players the opportunity to quickly return to defense.

Southampton's offensive was finally over, but for the Manchester United fans, they were still uncontrollably recalling Gu Ran's round-moon scimitar-style corner kick just now.

Manchester United's set-piece defense is very strong, but Gu Ran's Full Moon Scimitar is really beautiful.

The last time Manchester United fans saw such a beautiful full-moon scimitar ball was when Beckham was still playing for Manchester United.

The game continues.

Rio Ferdinand drove the ball to his left wing. Giggs retreated slightly, firmly controlled the ball at his feet, and then started at high speed and broke through along the left wing.

Southampton's defense immediately shrank to the vicinity of its own penalty area and did not engage in fearless wing confrontation with Giggs.

In this regard, Southampton did a very smart job.

First of all, Giggs's physical fitness is difficult to use up. Even though he is already 37 years old, he still finds time to sleep with his sister-in-law after sleeping with his wife and a female model, which shows his physical fitness.

Giggs' breakthrough ability is even more powerful. Southampton's right midfielder Schneiderlin simply cannot guard Giggs.

If you want to defend Giggs, you have to at least have Schneiderlin, Lambert, and Gu Ran to form a triangle. Only then can you possibly defend Giggs when he breaks through.

It is uneconomical for Southampton to waste three defensive personnel in order to prevent Giggs from entering the frontcourt.

Therefore, the Southampton team's strategy is that since they can't prevent Giggs' wing breakthrough, they simply don't guard against it and let Manchester United pass quickly on the wing and then engage in a positional battle.

During this period of time, the main players of the Southampton team have been training in closed training, mainly practicing the iron barrel defense near their own penalty area.

Of course, not everyone retreats into the penalty area. For example, Lallana wanders near the center circle, waiting for opportunities.

And Chamberlain on the left is also in a position to respond to counterattacks at any time.

At this moment, Giggs advanced unimpeded to Southampton's left wing, and Manchester United's midfielders basically pressed into Southampton's penalty area.

Giggs' ability to break through from the wing is very strong, but Giggs's ability to cut inside is average - I can't say it's not good, but compared with his own base, his ability to cut inside is indeed a bit worse.

Giggs changed lines back and forth near the baseline looking for opportunities, while Southampton's defense was airtight.

In desperation, Giggs could only keep a safe distance, and then made a pass into the penalty area!

Rooney jumps high! Gu Ran also jumped up at the same time and trapped Rooney's body!

As a physical tank, Lu Xiaopang is not too tall, but his body is extremely strong and highly confrontational.

However, after Gu Ran experienced a whole professional match in League One, his strength attribute had reached 92 points! The strength attribute has also reached 95 points! The physical attribute has reached a terrifying 98 points! The physical attribute... also reached 91 points!

Such physical conditions allowed Gu Ran to show no signs of intimidation when confronting Lu Xiaopang, and even clearly had the upper hand!

Rooney was hit by Gu Ran and immediately lost his balance in the air, losing the opportunity to fight for a header!

At the same time, Park Ji-sung rushed up urgently and pulled Gu Ran with his hands among the rebels!

Gu Ran was also pulled to the ground, pressing heavily on Lu Xiaopang!

There was chaos in the Southampton penalty area!

Fortunately, Fangte took the shot in time and successfully cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

But the ball is not dead!

Giggs on the outside ran quickly, picked up the football, and then made another more threatening cross!

At this time, Rooney and Gu Ran were both lying comfortably on the turf.

Gu Ran wanted to struggle, but Lu Xiaopang deliberately clamped his legs.

Lu Xiaopang is still very powerful.

Gu Ran couldn't get rid of it for a while.

Nash, who was on the right side of the penalty area, flexibly got rid of the marker, jumped up and headed the ball towards the goal——

Goalkeeper Davis was very focused and well positioned. He held Nash's shot in his arms with both hands!

Manchester United's almost crazy continuous cross attack finally stopped.

Southampton fans held their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xiaopang also let go of his legs, turned over and climbed up from the turf.

When Gu Ran got up, he took a sip of water on the turf.

Lu Xiaopang suddenly became angry.

Gu Ran also stared at Lu Xiaopang without flinching.

The two of them had a "what are you looking at, what are you looking at" attitude.

Players from both sides are also at war with each other and can start fighting at any time.

In the end, Lu Xiaopang didn't say anything and ran away with a gloomy face.

There were only a few players who dared to be tough in front of Lu Xiaopang, but based on Gu Ran's ability to knock Rooney down with physical confrontation just now, Gu Ran was qualified to be tough.

The game continues.

In the first 10 minutes, Manchester United had almost all the advantages. The left and right wings of Giggs and Nash hardly encountered any effective interceptions, so Manchester United completely controlled the midfield and the rhythm of the game.

However, Southampton's iron defense prevented Manchester United from converting several fatal crosses into goals.

And Southampton didn't just defend. As long as there was a chance, Southampton would immediately counterattack through Gu Ran.

Although neither side has scored a goal yet, the fast pace of the game suffocated the 9 fans present.
