Chapter 599 Mendes’ surprise!

Faced with Gu Ran's explosive sprint, Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper chose to abandon the goal and attack Gu Ran one-on-one!

As long as they can intercept Gu Ran for even half a second, Atletico Madrid's defense can catch up and strangle Gu Ran.

However, Gu Ran did not slow down at all and passed directly on the line of the penalty area!
The Atletico Madrid goalkeeper was knocked to the ground!

Gu Ran calmly dribbled the ball past the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper and rushed directly to the unguarded goal!

Facing the empty goal, Gu Ran fired a powerful volley!
The football penetrated the goal, stirred up the net, and even the goalposts buzzed and trembled!

The Romanian pendulum is extraordinary! The ball went in!
The referee blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid!

The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Atletico Madrid 2:4 Southampton!
Gu Ran's wonderful goal completely killed the suspense of the game!
This is also Gu Ran's first European competition, and it is also Gu Ran's first European competition to complete a hat trick!

Although there are still 4 minutes of injury time, you must know that Southampton's defense does not need to be much worse than Atletico Madrid, especially when the physical fitness and confrontation are obviously a higher level than Atletico Madrid! It can be said that Atletico Madrid is of no help!
The Southampton fans at the scene cheered wildly!

The Atletico Madrid fans at the scene were all stunned, holding their heads, unable to believe the score.

Head coach Simeone even looked up to the sky and sighed.

His theory is correct, and Atletico Madrid players are also positive. However, his most fatal problem is that he encountered Southampton with Gu Ran.

Fortunately, this game is only the first round of the group round robin. Even if you lose, there will be a second round. Even if you don't get first place in the group, you still have a chance to get second place in the group.

The game continues.

Atletico Madrid players took the initiative to attack.

But their offense is not sharp. Apart from relying on the triangle of Forlan, Aguero, and Diego Costa, they basically have no other pure offensive methods, and they lack defensive counterattacks to tear apart Southampton's formation. It's impossible to open Southampton's goal just by relying on reckless rushing.

In injury time, Southampton also defended with all its strength.

Coach Adkins used the substitution method again to delay time tactically.

Toot, toot, toot——

The referee on duty blew the whistle to end the game!

In the end, in the first round of Group G of the Europa League, the away team Southampton defeated Atletico Madrid with a two-goal difference and took away 3 points!
At the same time, another game in Group G has also ended.

Lille, a powerful team from Ligue 1, tied with the visiting Polish team Leš Poznan with a score of 1: at their home stadium.

In this way, the standings of Group G are that Southampton is at the top of the list with 3 points, Lille and Lech Poznan are tied for second and third, hand in hand, while Atletico Madrid, which was originally the strongest, has one point. None, temporarily ranked fourth in the group.

At the end of the game, Aguero took the initiative to find Gu Ran to shake hands and exchange jerseys with each other.

Simone also took the initiative to hug Gu Ran and express his congratulations.

Gu Ran followed his teammates to say goodbye, and then returned to the players' tunnel.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, his agent Mendes came up to him with a smile and gave Gu Ran a big hug, "Gu! You played so beautifully in today's game! You know, many teams today All the scout bosses are watching from the box, your worth will definitely skyrocket this time!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mendes, don't be so exaggerated. This is just an ordinary game." Mendes shook his head excitedly and smiled: "No, no, no, Gu, this is not an ordinary game." , this is a European event in Madrid! Don’t be in a hurry to leave Madrid tonight, stay here, I’ll give you a surprise!”

Gu Ran said quickly: "No, I have to take a charter flight back to Southampton with the team to prepare for the next game."

Mendes smiled and said: "Don't worry, isn't it just a matter of chartering a plane? With your current status in football, Gu Ran, if you shout loudly, I don't know how many rich and powerful people are lining up to charter a plane for you! As for Regarding matters in your team, please forgive me for taking matters into your own hands. I have told Lao Les in advance that you are the big boss of Southampton. You will not go back with the team after playing. , who dares to say anything?”

Gu Ran couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "Mendez, you...well, what do you want to do?"

Mendes said mysteriously: "I told you, I'll give you a surprise! I guarantee you will like it."

Surprise...what the hell is a surprise?

Gu Ran said helplessly: "Okay, since you said so, I'll stay in Madrid for one night."

Mendes smiled happily and said: "Great! I have booked the hotel for you. It is the presidential suite of the highest seven-star hotel in Madrid. You don't have to worry about the overnight fee. Someone will pay for you. What you have to do That’s right, come with me now.”

Gu Ran said quickly: "Now? Don't make trouble. I have to go back to the locker room to celebrate with my teammates, listen to Coach Adkins' post-game summary, then take a shower, get a massage, and get dressed." , can I leave with you."

Mendes said quickly: "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you at the door."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "It will take more than an hour at least. You should go to the underground garage and wait for me. I know your car. After I finish my work, I will go to the garage to find you."

Mendes frowned a little worriedly.

Gu Ran smiled and said: "What, you really don't believe me? Can I still let you go?"

Mendes quickly put on a smile and said, "No, no, no, how could I be afraid that you would let me go? Which one of us will follow who? I'm just worried... Gu, this is Madrid after all. Apart from me, you are the most important person." It’s best not to come into contact with anyone.”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Mendes breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good! Then I'll wait for you in the garage."

Mendes hugged Gu Ran again, watched Gu Ran enter the visiting team's locker room, and then turned towards the garage.

Gu Ran took a shower and physical therapy in the locker room, got dressed again, said a brief goodbye to his teammates and head coach Adkins, walked out of the locker room, and prepared to join Mendes in the garage.

As soon as they walked around the corner, a man wearing a staff uniform came up to him with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Gu Ran, could you please stay for a few minutes?"

Gu Ran didn't think much and took out the signature pen he carried with him. "No problem, where do you want to sign?"

The staff member silently took out a contract from his pocket.

Gu Ran:......

The staff member smiled and said: "Well, it is indeed too abrupt. Mr. Gu Ran, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Andre Curry. I am a former Brazilian market scout for Barcelona. I have just been transferred back to the headquarters. , in charge of the entire Barcelona scouting affairs."
