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

Lampard seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and intercepted the ball, which was not a good pass, at his feet.

Immediately afterwards, Lampard made a slight adjustment and was ready to hit the ball!

Torres had already rushed into the penalty area. Malouda on the left and Anelka on the right also inserted themselves in from Southampton's sides. Southampton's defense almost broke out in this moment. There were holes all over the place by Chelsea's trident!

It's not that Southampton doesn't defend defensively, it's that they really can't defend!

Malouda is already very deadly, Anelka is even more deadly, Torres is even more deadly!

Southampton's defense is in complete disarray. No matter who Lampard directs this ball to, this ball is almost always a must-goal!

however……

Just before Lampard was about to cross the ball, Gu Ran charged at Lampard with a speed that was as violent as aesthetics.

Lampard didn't panic at all. The fine-tuning he just made was to protect Gu Ran. Through the fine-tuning just now, Lampard was already ahead of Gu Ran and would never let Gu Ran have a chance to touch the ball—— Unless Gu Ran directly shovels people from behind.

However, what Lampard never expected was that after Gu Ran came up without slowing down, he directly hit Lampard's buttocks with his crotch!

For a moment, Lampard was unable to pass the ball with his legs.

Engineer Ramirez arrived quickly and wanted to knock Gu Ran away as soon as possible.

But without waiting for Ramirez to touch him, Gu Ran stretched his foot directly from behind Lampard and knocked the ball away from Lampard's feet!

This action is extremely aggressive! But it’s not a foul!

Lampard never expected that Gu Ran would take such initiative, and from behind him!

Lampard stumbled a few steps and ran to chase the ball.

But Lambert was one step faster and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

Chelsea were awarded a throw-in.

Southampton got a chance to breathe under huge offensive pressure.

In this defense, Southampton's defense has completely collapsed, but fortunately, Gu Ran, who plays the defensive midfielder in front, only used an aggressive approach to confront Lampard and did not let Lampard's magic lamp guide the way, otherwise If so, the score would have been 1:0 at the beginning.

Chelsea took a throw-in.

Almost all of Southampton's players shrank near the penalty area. Anelka's first shot after taking the ball hit the wall and bounced out. Anelka got the second point and started again. Boom!

This kick was so powerful that the football went over the crossbar and flew out of the end line.

In the first 3 minutes, Chelsea had already had 3 shots, while Southampton had also had 1 shot.

In terms of tactical style, both teams are pragmatic and anti-counterattack teams, but the offensive rhythm of both sides in this game was faster than that of the offensive team.

Chelsea's offense was not sluggish at all. Basically, when there was a chance, it was handed over to Lampard. If there was no chance, both wings flew forward to the 30-meter area and passed the ball. The winger cut inside to cover, and the center looked for a chance to shoot.

The Southampton team's style of play is even simpler. The whole team defends. Gu Ran goes out to defend and restrict Lampard. Once he gets the ball, he makes a long pass from the backcourt and relies on the forwards and shadow forwards to compete for opportunities to steal the second place. Point for follow-up shot.

Although Gu Ran was easily pulled away by Lampard when defending and was unable to form a tacit defense with his teammates, Gu Ran took the initiative to show aggression when defending Lampard alone, which greatly limited Lampard's ability to play. The passing role in the midfield and frontcourt.

Ramirez has been running after Gu Ran, and Ramirez is indeed physically unlimited and extremely confrontational. The key is that Ramirez's speed and explosive power are far behind Gu Ran. An emergency stop and start can shake Ramirez out of the way.

Therefore, Ramirez was almost unable to restrain Gu Ran. It seemed that Gu Ran did not take much advantage in the duel with Lampard, but in fact, Gu Ran alone restricted Lampard and Ramirez.

Therefore, Gu Ran did not win in a duel with the world's top No. 8.

However, judging from the actual situation of this game, Gu Ran disrupted Chelsea's central axis by himself.

Ancelotti was wearing a suit, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, chewing gum in his mouth, and staring at the situation on the field without saying a word.

In his opinion, there is no problem in winning the English League One team Southampton with a big score in this game, so his focus in this game is to examine Torres and Gu Ran.

Torres is already meat on Chelsea's plate, and according to the determination of boss Abramovich, Gu Ran will be able to come to Chelsea soon. Where should Gu Ran be placed?

Left back? Replace Ashley Cole?

Or should he be placed in the midfield, standing parallel to Lampard, and helping Lampard do the dirty work?

You can't replace Malouda as a left winger, right?

Oops, the lineup is too luxurious which is also a pain...

A smug smile appeared on Ancelotti's chubby cheeks.

On the other side, Coach Adkins, who was in the visiting team's tactical area, kept yelling, reminding Southampton's players not to stop running.

The game progressed to the 7th minute.

With Gu Ran almost blocking Lampard, Ivanovic took the ball and launched a fast break on the left side of Southampton.

Southampton's formation then shrank and compressed to the left.

Anelka made interspersed movements and reached down to respond.

At least three Southampton players were attracted by Anelka, leaving space in the middle.

Gu Ran was in front to mark the more critical Lampard, and was unable to quickly come back to fill the position.

Big Ivan took the opportunity to cut inside, and then made a precise pass to the ground, passing the ball to the feet of the Holy Infant Torres who had penetrated into the penalty area!

Chelsea's coordination is so simple, smooth, and effective!

After Torres got the ball, he dunked the toe of his right foot, and with a beautiful fake move, he passed Wharton who was flying and tackled. Then he volleyed with his left foot into the far corner of the goal!

This kick is so beautiful!

In terms of action viewing, it is absolutely flawless!

This level of action is almost difficult for a center to do, especially a British-style center, especially a Drogba-style center!

Goalkeeper Davis was standing at the near corner to block the ball. He never expected that Torres, as the center, would switch to volleying with his left foot into the far corner!

Davis was powerless and could only stand still...

Bang!

The football hit the far end of the goal post and the crossbar hard, and then bounced off the end line.

The arms that the Chelsea fans raised to celebrate were all frozen in the air!

The Southampton fans cheered excitedly!

Davis crossed himself tremblingly! He himself is not that religious, but today, Torres has failed to score a goal with either of his kicks! Thank God for this!

Torres himself shook his head in frustration.
