Chapter 09 : The unexpected turn is coming!

  On TV, the game between Southampton and Northampton continues.  

In the city derby, both teams fought fiercely and their actions were very unusual.

  Although Northampton was obviously not as strong as Southampton, they were not afraid of playing too hard. They launched various tackles from behind, dragging and kicking at Southampton one after another.

  Southampton naturally did not suffer from this and retaliated against Northampton with various rough actions.

  There was a lot of tension between the two sides, and the rhythm of the game was often interrupted by fouls from both sides.

  At the end of the first half, both sides received five yellow cards and the score was still Southampton 1:0 Northampton.

  Poof!

  Andrew happily opened the fourth can of beer and said gloatingly, "Gu, I'm sorry that your money has gone down the drain, but in another 45 minutes, I can make 185 pounds with my money! I told you a long time ago that you don't know anything, so you should buy from an old hand like me with 30 years of experience! Alas, young man, you just don't listen. Now you're gone for a month's rent, right?"

  Gu Ran just smiled.

  So far, this game was exactly the same as he remembered!

  Therefore, Gu Ran was not panicked at all, and was even a little excited!

  After a fifteen-minute halftime break, the second half of the game began.

  In the 54th minute of the game, Southampton made a long pass from the right side. Southampton striker Connolly used his body to knock away the player defending him and grabbed the first point at the edge of the penalty area!

  Andrew held the beer can and shouted excitedly: "Connolly - shoot! Shoot!"

  Another Northampton defender made a fierce side tackle and kicked Connolly on the supporting ankle!

  Connolly immediately covered his feet and fell to the ground in pain!

  The Southampton players immediately surrounded them aggressively.

  One of the Southampton players kicked the Northampton player who had tackled Connolly in the chest, sending him flying.

  At this moment, the whole stadium seemed to be in an uproar.

  Not only did the players on the field fight each other, but the players on the bench also joined the fight.

  The coaches of both teams were throwing mineral water bottles at each other!

  Even the fans of both teams started fighting, throwing bottles and burning fireworks into the field!

  The whole football field seemed to be on fire!

  This is the style of the lower leagues in the UK!

  Playing football?

  No, in lower-level leagues, especially when broadcasting technology has not yet been developed, fighting is the basic operation!

  "Hahaha! Let's do it! That's right! That's how we should do it! Saints! Go, go, go! Beat those women from Northampton!"

  Andrew took a swig of beer, waved his arms excitedly, and sang Southampton's team song: "Oh When the Saints Go Marching In!"

  Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh secretly.

  Beep! Beep——

  The referee on the field tried to control the chaotic situation, so he kept showing cards to Southampton players who were chasing Northampton players.

  Players from both sides were sent off one after another!

  Southampton, who had an absolute advantage in the fight, naturally had the most players sent off!

  Andrew's smile froze immediately: "Wait - what's going on! Referee! Stop drawing cards! If you draw more cards, Southampton will not have enough players on the field!"

  Gu Ran pretended to understand nothing and asked curiously, "Uncle Andrew, what will happen if there are less than 7 people on one side?"

  Andrew explained: "Gu, of course you don't understand. This is very professional football knowledge. According to the rules of football, as long as one side is sent off 5 players, the game is over!

In other words, if Southampton is sent off first, then if the goal difference in the previous game is no more than 3, Southampton will be directly judged to lose the game 0:3!

And such a result is also recognized by the bookmakers!"

  Gu Ran pretended to be surprised and asked, "What about the goal scored by Southampton in the first half? Does it not count?"  

  Andrew covered his bald head and said in annoyance: "Forget it!"

  Gu Ran blinked, "Oh, does that mean... I might be able to collect rice? No way? Uncle Andrew, didn't you say that my way of buying is definitely a waste of money? Didn't you say that we Chinese are all stupid and rich? How can I collect rice, Uncle Andrew?"

  Andrew froze!

  Theoretically speaking, Gu Ran, a novice, would never win the bet with his betting method!

  But who could have thought that something like this would happen in the second half of the game?

  Andrew felt that his thirty years of spinach skills were instantly broken by Gu Ran, a novice!

  Looking at the bitter expression on Andrew's face, Gu Ran felt a little regretful - it was a pity that today's pickup limit had been reached, otherwise, he would definitely be able to pick up Andrew's skills.

  Speaking of which, as an employee in the logistics industry, Andrew's skill should be... driving, right?

  Just as Gu Ran was making random guesses, the referee sent off the fifth Southampton player on the field!

  The game ended immediately!

  The final result was Southampton 0:3 Northampton!

  Gu Ran's 86 times odds won!

  1,000 pounds turns into 86,000!

  It's so comfortable!

  Although 86,000 is not a lot of money, it is enough for Gu Ran to live a comfortable life!

  Moreover, Gu Ran's betting amount was not large and would not attract the attention of the bookmaker.

  If I come across such an unpopular and memorable match in the future, I can still give it a try.

  Gu Ran shrugged, "Betting, it turns out to be so simple. Uncle, I told you that I felt really good today, and I asked you to buy from me, but you refused. Now your private savings have gone down the drain, right?"

  Andrew, who has 30 years of experience in the gambling industry, twitched his lips for a while before finally squeezing out a word, "...Brother, take me with you!"

  Oh shit!

  You really yelled!

  Gu Ran hurriedly said: "No, no! Uncle, please don't yell at me like that, I don't know anything, we Chinese are all stupid and rich."

  "Uncle is wrong! Gu, your feeling is so accurate! You can actually guess the score! Chinese people simply have the mysterious power of the East! Gu, please guide me!"

  After saying that, Andrew kept shaking his head and said, "Jesus! Why didn't I buy it with you? If I had bought it with you, my 1,000 pounds would have become 80,000! Oh! Oh!"

  Andrew's precious strands of hair trembled as he sighed.

  Gu Ran smiled secretly in his heart. Before leaving, he glanced at the football newspaper on the table and said, "Uncle, have you finished reading that newspaper? Lend it to me."

  Andrew waved his hand, "Gu, don't be polite to me in the future, just take whatever you like! You are now... a person of value!"

  "Thank you, uncle!" Gu Ran picked up the newspaper and walked back to his room.

  Andrew beat his chest and stamped his feet. "Alas, I just missed out on 80,000 pounds! No, no! Next time, I must ask Gu first and follow Gu's lead!"

  After Gu Ran returned to the room, he immediately closed the door and silently waved his fists wildly towards the sky!

  Cool————!!!
