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

Gu Ran stood at the penalty spot in the penalty area and carefully placed the ball.

Mignolet on the opposite side lowered his center of gravity with a tense face, ready to make a save at any time.

All the fans held their breath.

Can Gu Ran kill the suspense with one goal, or give Black Cat another breath?

Everyone is waiting nervously.

This is also the first time Gu Ran has taken a penalty kick in an official game.

The techniques for taking penalty kicks and taking free kicks are different.

The most important thing about a penalty kick is the mental quality, followed by the technique of taking a penalty kick.

Gu Ran was taking a penalty kick and deliberately glanced to the left side of the goal several times, as if he was going to shoot to the left.

In Mignolet's opinion, this trick makes no sense at all.

A goalkeeper of Mignolet's level would not be deceived by Gu Ran's eyes, but at the same time, Mignolet would not think that Gu Ran would play in the opposite direction.

Mignolet would only use his reflexes to make a save the moment Gu Ran made a move.

Gu then took three steps back, then sprinted with all his strength and volleyed with his foot outside the instep!

Mignolet's body subconsciously fell to the right side of the goal!

The football was volleyed by Gu Ran's outside instep of his left foot, and shot towards the lower left corner of the goal with lightning speed!

Gu Ran deceived Mignolet with the instep of his instep!

The football hits the net with great force!

The ball went in!

The referee indicated that the goal was valid!

The Southampton fans and Newcastle fans at the scene all cheered crazily!

The Black Cat fans were all dumbfounded, holding their heads and couldn't believe the result!

Gu Ran killed the suspense of the game with one goal!

Sunderland didn't have to play overtime because they had already been kicked back home by Southampton!

Gu Ran completed a hat trick!

This is Gu Ran's first penalty kick goal!

The score on the big screen at the Stadium of Light was immediately rewritten as Sunderland 3:5 Southampton!

The Southampton players hugged Gu Ran excitedly!

Gu Ran once again showed his savior strength like the son of God!

Southampton is going to advance to the seventh round of the FA Cup, which is the semi-finals of the FA Cup!

At the beginning of this season, who would have thought that this team, which was originally in the middle of English League One, could rise all the way and meet all kinds of enemies!

This game is not over yet, but it is almost the same!

There is at most one and a half minutes left in the game due to injury, and Sunderland must score two goals to equalize the score and play overtime with Southampton...

This is undoubtedly impossible for the Sunderland team, whose physical fitness is exhausted, their mentality has been kicked out, and there is one less player on the field.

After the game continued, only Henderson was still running and attacking desperately.

The other Sunderland players were numb.

Toot, toot, toot——

With the referee's three whistles, the knockout round of the sixth round of the FA Cup is over!

Southampton, playing away from home, equalized the score three times after falling behind three times, and took a two-goal lead in the last few minutes, eliminating the originally awesome Sunderland team!

When the final whistle sounded, all the Southampton players and staff on the bench rushed into the field wildly and cheered and celebrated with the players on the field!

The Sunderland players shook their heads and sighed helplessly.

Especially the young Henderson, who lay on the turf covering his face and cried bitterly.

In this game, Henderson tried his best, but most of his abilities were blocked by Gu Ran, so he didn't perform particularly well.

Henderson was full of self-blame for this defeat. He felt that if he had been stronger, maybe the result would not be like this.

When Henderson was crying sadly, a big iron-like hand patted his shoulder heavily. Henderson raised his tear-stained eyes, and then his whole body froze.

Gu Ran squatted in front of him with a smile, "Hey, Henderson, you played great today."

Henderson suddenly couldn't control his anger, "Damn it! Gu! You have already won! Are you going to catch up and humiliate me?"

Gu Ran shrugged, "No, you misunderstood. I don't mean to humiliate you. I really think you played great - you have to know that I also play with Lampard, Gerrard and Fabregas." , Torres, Van der Vaart, Modric and other world-class players, it is difficult for them to show their original strength in front of me, so from this point of view, you are indeed good."

Henderson was startled, "Are you praising me or yourself?"

Gu Ran laughed, "Of course I'm praising you!"

Henderson wiped his tears and said, "Well, although the angle of complimenting me is very novel, I felt a lot more comfortable after hearing it. God, I actually talked to Lampard, Gerrard, and Fabrega Are Si, Torres, Van der Vaart, Modric and others on the same level?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Are you quite happy?"

Henderson nodded, and then said angrily: "No! You eliminated me!"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I didn't eliminate you, I eliminated you."

Henderson said: "This is more serious!"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "No, no, you were eliminated because Sunderland's overall level is not strong enough. A promising young player like you should land in a wealthy team earlier so that you can get more opportunities." A lot of experience.”

Henderson's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean... I should go to Manchester United?"

Gu Ran shook his head, "No, you should go to a team that pays you a high salary, because only if they are willing to pay you a high salary can they show that they really value you."

Henderson nodded convincingly, "You are right, but... based on my performance in today's game, I don't know of any wealthy team willing to pay me a high salary."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "There will be clubs with discerning eyes."

Henderson suddenly frowned again and said: "You are still giving me lessons, but haven't you yourself not gone to a wealthy family?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I want to practice again and lay a solid foundation. In short, this season is coming to an end. I hope you can cheer up from this defeat as soon as possible and meet a wealthy team that can appreciate you."

After saying that, Gu Ran patted Henderson on the shoulder and turned around.

"and many more!"

Henderson frowned and called Gu Ran.

Gu Ran turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Henderson stared at Gu Ran, "What I want to say is, thank you, brother. Do you want to exchange jerseys?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Take it off."

The two men each took off their jerseys and exchanged them.

Seeing that the jersey was changed, Southampton fans almost hated Henderson.

After the Southampton team finished the game, they returned to the locker room and celebrated for a while, then took a shower and took a car to leave the Stadium of Light and chartered a flight back to Southampton.

As soon as he got off the plane, Gu Ran received an affectionate text message from Linda, the proprietress of Liverpool.
