Chapter 627: In front of Zidane, perform a fairy tale from heaven!

After the game, Piero took the initiative and walked towards Gu Ran.

"Hey, Gu. Congratulations on winning this game. Your victory is well-deserved."

After all, he is the Zebra Prince, and he speaks well.

Gu Ran quickly said politely: "Mr. Piero, I like you very much. It is my honor to compete with you today."

Del Piero smiled and said: "No, no, I should say, this is my honor. I have played with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but I dare say that you are better than them. They have Barcelona and Real Madrid. You don’t have such resources. I believe that as long as you find a wealthy club that can give you resources, you will definitely surpass Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for saying that. I will continue to work hard."

Del Piero patted Gu Ran's shoulder in a friendly manner, "If you are interested in coming to Juventus, I can help you connect. Juventus is a world-class wealthy club. As long as you come to Juventus, I guarantee that Juventus will All team resources will be yours."

Gu Ran said quickly: "I'm sorry Piero, I don't mean to reject your kindness, nor am I targeting Juventus, but in fact, I prefer to stay and play in the Premier League."

Del Piero sighed helplessly, "Well, the current Serie A is indeed not as dynamic as the Premier League. However, my invitation to you remains unchanged. No matter what happens at any time, as long as you are willing to come, Call me anytime.”

"Okay, thank you."

The two immediately exchanged phone numbers and then exchanged jerseys.

This season will also be Piero's last season, so Piero's game jersey will be given away one less.

After this difficult game, the third day is the British Championship match day.

Coach Adkins rested all the main players and used an all-substitute lineup to face Hull City at home.

In the end, Southampton's substitute players performed well and defeated Hull City with a score of 3:2.

The next day on April 4, the English Championship match day, Southampton played against Middlesbrough at home.

Two consecutive days of English Championship matches were extremely intense.

But there is nothing that can be done, because Southampton has EFL Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League games, so the English Championship games have been postponed several times, and now it is time to make up for the games.

Fortunately, Southampton's bench is deep enough this season, and coach Adkins continues to field a full bench lineup.

In the end, Southampton lost to Middlesbrough 1:2.

Although they lost, it had no actual impact, and Ward-Prowse and Mane also performed very well.

Then, on April 4, it was another English Championship match day, Southampton challenged Blackpool away from home.

Coach Adkins sent out half of the main team for rotation.

In the end, under the leadership of Gu Ran, Southampton defeated Blackpool 4:0.

That's right, as long as Gu Ran takes action, a score like 4:0 is indeed a small victory.

April 4nd was another British Championship match day, Southampton challenged Crystal Palace away from home.

Gu Ran took a rest, and Mikel and Lallana led the team.

In the end, the two teams tied 0:0.

On April 4, the English Championship match day, Southampton challenged Pittsburg United away. Also a newly promoted team from League One, Southampton has won the English Championship and has been directly promoted to the Premier League, while Peterborough United is hovering on the edge of relegation.

In this game, Coach Adkins also let go and sent out all the main players.

As a result, Pittsburg United did not live up to expectations and were beaten 1:0 by Southampton's full substitute lineup.

Pittsburg United's relegation is almost a certainty.

On April 4, the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals resumed.

The Southampton team flew to Turin, the football capital of Italy, to challenge the old lady Juventus away.

During this period, the intensity of the English Championship matches was very high. There were matches every day for 6 consecutive days.

Fortunately, Southampton has already established itself as the British Championship champion early on, otherwise, it would definitely collapse at this time.

Now, Southampton's main players have been fully rested, and they are all full of energy and physical fitness.

This game also attracted many celebrities and senior officials from Juventus to watch the game live.

Zidane, who had just retired, also came to watch the game.

The Turin Stadium was packed with people, even the aisles were filled with crazy Bianconeri fans. Fireworks were already set off in the stands before the game started.

In this game, Juventus head coach Conte's formation did not change much. He still chose to trust the main players from the last match.

On the Southampton side, Sturridge was replaced by Mane, who has performed well recently, and the formation was changed from 4231 to 442, using English-style long passes to break Italy's chain defense.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in the midfield and frontcourt.

Both teams focus on stability and focus more on defense, so the scene seemed very stalemate from the beginning.

According to the last round of the match between the two teams, the situation is favorable to Southampton. However, this is Turin, the football capital of Italy, and Southampton’s opponent is also the world-class veteran giant Juventus, so, Just a goal difference advantage is really not much of an advantage.

The deadlock between the two sides was broken in the 27th minute.

Pirlo dribbled in the middle, Gu Ran and Mikel stepped forward to intercept. Pirlo was not fast, so he was easily caught by Gu Ran. Mikel forced the steal, but Pirlo's ball protection was extremely good. High, Mikel failed to intercept the ball twice in a row.

Just when Pirlo turned around to pass the ball, Salah retreated from the center position and directly stole the ball.

Pirlo was only focused on guarding Gu Ran and Mikel, and he didn't expect Salah, a center, to take the initiative to retreat and steal the ball.

When Pirlo tried to counterattack again, Gu Ran had already taken off with the ball, leaving Pirlo several positions behind.

Juventus immediately shrunk their formation and launched a chain defense against Gu Ran and other forward players.

However, Gu Ran had no intention of passing the ball at all. While accelerating with all his strength, Gu Ran shot a lob while running at least fifty meters away from the goal!
Flying fairy from heaven!

Zidane in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed.

Buffon's position was slightly forward. By the time Buffon reacted, it was already too late!

The football had an obvious acceleration and falling motion above the small penalty area!
Flying immortals and deadly elevators!
