"Hi~ I'm Rusty Stripe."
Rusty Tiao licked his hair and leaned against the fence.
The girl on the other side of the fence covered her face with a smile, "Student Xijiao, you don't need to introduce yourself. I've actually known you for a long time - your performance today was really great!"
"Really? Hahaha!" Xi Tiao licked his hairstyle again, "I think so too! However, when it comes from the mouth of a beautiful woman, I am even happier."
"Can I be considered a beauty?" The girl's expression was a little excited!
Although this girl's appearance and figure can only be rated as a 7 at best, this does not affect Xisiao's ability to pick up girls at all!
What happened to the 7-point appearance?
As long as she is a girl, she is a beauty in Xitiao's eyes!
As a boss who has confessed his love 50 times without any success, what Xitiao cares about is not the girl's appearance, but the success rate!
"Ahem, beauty, we are going out to have a carnival and celebrate tonight. I wonder if you are free?" Rusty Stripe asked boldly.
The girl's eyes were full of surprise, "Really? Are you going out for a party? Can I really go too?"
Rusty Stripe was elated, "Of course!"
The girl said excitedly: "Great! I'm free! I'm very free! It doesn't matter if I don't go back tonight!"
Rusty Strip was immediately happy!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t go back at night…
Doesn't this mean you can...
Gu Ran really didn't lie to me! As long as you play football well, you will naturally have a girlfriend!
I'm not even ready yet, spring is already here! Ha ha ha ha!
At this moment, the girl carefully took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Xi Tiao, "Good Xi Tiao, can you please help me give this letter to my male god Gu Ran?"
Rust strip:…
The smile on Rusty Strip's face solidified.
This turn of events happened so quickly that his excited heart didn't even have time to react, "What..."
The 7-point girl's face was full of shyness, "Please help me tell him that tonight... I can do anything. Please!"
Xi Tiao held the love letter that was not written to himself and said with trembling lips: "...Okay."
The girl with a score of 7 said happily: "Thank you! Rusty Stripe! You are such a good person!"
After saying that, the girl jumped away and ran away.
Xitiao's face was full of grief and anger, and he looked up to the sky and screamed: "No! No! No -"
In the locker room.
The excitement of the Bucks Steel Horns players has not cooled down yet, and they continue to hug each other, sing and dance.
Reaching the top 16 again after 20 years, this sense of excitement and honor is difficult to describe in words.
From today on, they are the heroes of Southampton Private School!
The entire Southampton private school, and even the entire Southampton, will be proud of them!
This is the charm of football culture!
At this time, Xi Tiao returned to the locker room with a sad face and handed the love letter from the 7-point girl to Gu Ran.
"What?"
"What else could it be! A love letter!" Xi Tiao shouted with tears in his eyes.
The originally noisy locker room suddenly became quiet.
The players all looked at the rust strip with strange eyes.
Minato came over and asked with a smile, "Rust Stripe? Did you write a love letter to Gu Ran?"
"Rusty strips! Awesome!"
"Isn't it because you can't catch girls, Xisibiao, that you finally want to attack boys?"
"Oh! How can I take a shower with you in the future?"
"Rust Stripe! I support you!"
The players all followed suit.
"Don't make trouble! Stop making trouble!" Xi Tiao waved his hands quickly, "You have all misunderstood! This is not a love letter written by me! This is a love letter that a very beautiful girl asked me to give to Gu Ran."
Speaking of this, Xiuzhai covered his heart, his face full of heartache.
"Oh." Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "I was shocked."
During the game, Gu Ran even high-fived and bumped chests with Xi Tiao. If this was really a love letter written by Xi Tiao, Gu Ran would really have a death wish.
Gu Ran took the love letter and stuffed it into the locker without even reading it.
Xiuziao asked in shock: "Don't you look at it? That girl is really pretty."
Gu Ran sneered and said, "I'm not interested in these things about falling in love. Falling in love takes up too much time. I really just want to play football."
I like to be direct!
It’s not about emotions, it’s all about skills!
Xi Tiao said angrily: "Hey, you scumbag--teach me a lesson!!!"
Head coach Carter walked into the locker room with a red face.
He just went to the school director's office and seemed to have received a lot of praise.
Although Southampton Private School has qualified for the group stage more than once in its more than 100-year history, such a beautiful reversal like today has never happened in the history of the school team.
Coach Carter shouted as he walked in: "Boys! Congratulations! You played so hard today! You were so passionate! You played with the momentum of our Southampton private school! You are really great. !”
"yeah!!!"
The crazy atmosphere in the locker room was ignited again! The roof of the entire locker room is about to be blown off!
Coach Carter smiled and pressed his palms, "Listen to me! Boys! Calm down and listen to me! I know everyone is eager to celebrate, so I will announce a few things here in a long and short way. When I finish, everyone You can do whatever you want!”
"Ho ho ho!"
"Yes! Coach!"
The locker room quickly fell silent.
"First thing's first: postgame statistics."
Coach Carter took out a statistics sheet and said, "Post-game statistics are homework we must do every time we play, even on a happy day like today's qualifying. But today I won't be long-winded, I will just announce Let’s take a look at the highest rating in this game.”
Minato said first: "Coach! Do you still need to guess? It must be Gu Ran!"
"Yes! It must be Gu Ran!"
"If it weren't for Gu Ran, I would have eaten my own shoes!"
the players shouted.
Coach Carter smiled and said, "Yes, the one with the highest rating after the game is Gu Ran."
Wow————
Applause from the audience!
What does it mean to deserve one’s name?
This is called well-deserved!
In just three games and less than two weeks of joining the team, Gu Ran not only integrated into the team, but also gained unanimous recognition from the team!
No one in the team was dissatisfied with Gu Ran!
Especially after this game, no one will be dissatisfied.
Gu Ran's performance in this game was heroic. Not only did he make many key clearances, but he also made many precise long passes and breakthroughs from the wing.
Moreover, Gu Ran ran all over the field. His running and sprinting distances, as well as the number of successful confrontations, were definitely the highest on the field.
And more importantly, Gu Ran had one assist and two goals!
According to the weight ratio of the post-match ratings, Gu Ran's rating will definitely be higher than the post-match rating of the previous game!
The post-match rating of the last game was 8.5, so the post-match rating of this one must be at least... 8.6, right?
Gu Ran looked at Carter expectantly.
Coach Carter folded the post-match rating sheet twice and put it into his pocket, "Okay, let's stop chatting. Let me announce the second thing."
Damn it...
How come my post-game ratings became gossip?
Even if you save time, it won't take more than a few seconds to report a rating, right?
Gu Ran couldn't help raising his hand and asked: "Coach, I want to know what my post-match rating is?"
Carter cleared his throat, "Your post-game rating, well, it's okay, but you have to keep working hard."
Gan......
PUA me again...
Could it be that the score is too high, are you afraid that I will be proud?
Forget it, let me cooperate with your PUA.
Gu Ran said solemnly: "Yes, coach, I will definitely continue to work hard."
"Very good." Carter nodded with satisfaction, "Then, let's talk about the issue of discipline on the court - that is, the issue of you privately changing the order of free kicks I set on the court."
Bread stood up immediately, "Coach, I gave up the free kick to Gu Ran on my own initiative. I didn't want to take it, but I insisted on Gu Ran taking it."
Gu Ran said quickly: "No, no, no, coach, this matter has nothing to do with bread. It is entirely my responsibility. I violated the discipline. If the coach wants to punish me, just punish me."
Bread said eagerly: "I am the captain, and Gu Ran is new here. He doesn't have much idea about court discipline yet, but I violated the discipline even though I knew it was there, so I'd better punish me, coach."
The reason why Carter is able to completely control the locker room relies on strict discipline and punishment.
A violation of discipline on the field like this will result in at least 200 jump-frogs, and if the consequences are serious, you may even be expelled.
Something like this happened to the Bucks Steel Horns before. A player with good qualifications was too attached to the ball on the court and refused to pass the ball and cooperate with his teammates. As a result, he was directly fired by Coach Carter after a certain game.
So this kind of thing is really serious in the eyes of the Bucks Steel Horns players.
I saw that Coach Carter did not get angry, but nodded slightly in approval, "Yes, you two do not shirk responsibilities from each other, but take responsibility for each other, which is good. This is the core idea of our Bucks Steel Horns team building . I should have held you two accountable for this matter, but... Gu, your scimitar kick is so handsome, and with that kick of yours, we finally won the game. If If I punish you, then I would be too unkind."
Bread said in surprise: "Coach, you mean you won't hold us accountable?"
Carter smiled and said: "Well, forget it this time, but in the future, no one is allowed to change the order of free throws without my permission! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Coach!" the Bucks Steel Horns players responded in unison.
Gu Ran felt a little depressed.
Although Carter was not punished for court discipline issues, the rule that he is not allowed to change the order of free throws in the future doesn't mean that his Full Moon Scimitar has no use?
this……
Just listen to Coach Carter continue: "The third thing I want to announce is about the order of free kicks. From today on, Bread will be the second-ranked free-kick taker, and Gu Ran will be the first-ranked kicker! In addition, Gu Ran is also the first to take the left corner kick! The order of penalty kicks for right corner kicks and penalty kicks remains unchanged for the time being - do you have any opinions?"
"No objection!" the Bucks Steel Horns players shouted excitedly.
Gu Ran's full-moon scimitar kill at the last moment of the game was absolutely convincing!
With Gu Ran's full-moon scimitar, Coach Carter naturally has many more options for tactical deployment. It can even allow the players to put more effort on the offensive end and create more free kick opportunities and corner kick opportunities.
This also means that the weight of Gu Ran's firing power has increased a lot.
Gu Ran's face was suddenly filled with surprise!
I thought the old man was going to deny his free kick, but unexpectedly, it was officially certified!
This means that as long as there is a chance in the future, he can score directly with a free kick in the front court!
There are many examples of left backs taking free kicks, such as Carlos!
Bread happily held Gu Ran's hand, "Haha! Congratulations! Gu!"
Gu Ran was a little embarrassed, "Bread, I'm sorry, I took your spot in the penalty spot."
But Bread waved his hand, "Don't say that, we are all playing for the Bucks to win, not for personal limelight! Besides, taking free kicks is a lot of pressure, I actually want to You can help me share it."
Gu Ran smiled and said: "As long as you are not unhappy, then I will be relieved."
The overall strength level of the team is certainly important, but the unity in the locker room is actually more important than the team level.
In today's game, in addition to Gu Ran's carry throughout the game, the more important reason is that the overall unity of the Bucks and Steel Horns is several levels higher than that of the Golden Fleece.
Therefore, it is the most perfect thing to be able to get the first choice to take free kicks without destroying the unity of the locker room.
Bread grinned and said: "Of course I'm not unhappy, but... Gu, at least you have upgraded. You have to show it tonight, right? I'm going to the bar tonight and you're treating me!"
"Haha! Yes!"
"Gu Ran must treat him! He scored two goals!"
"As a defender, he scored more goals than our forwards!"
"Gu! You have to treat me today!" Rusty Strip roared the loudest.
"Gu, you are wearing such expensive Messi sneakers, you must not be short of money! You must buy the wine tonight!"
"Gu Ran! A treat! Gu Ran! A treat! Gu Ran! A treat!"
In the UK, you can take a driving license and enter a bar at the age of 17.
British players usually celebrate after winning a game by going to a bar to have a blast.
Just when Gu Ran was about to speak, Coach Carter frowned and shouted, "Okay, stop making noise! I don't care if you bad boys go to the bar, but don't lead Gu Ran into trouble!"
The players were immediately dumbfounded.
Gu Ran secretly laughed in his heart: It's not certain who will lead the bad guy.
Gu Ran cleared his throat and said: "Today we defeated the Golden Fleece team, a strong team in the first group, and entered the top 16 knockout rounds as the first in the group. Moreover, I scored two goals today and got any free The ball and the first penalty kick on the left corner, such happy things are combined, I deserve a treat."
"yeah!!!"
"Gu! You are indeed a good friend!"
"Hahaha! Gu! I will drink you to death today!"
"Tonight I will show you the magic trick of opening a wine bottle with my eyelids!"
The players are almost beyond happy.
Just listen to Gu Ran continue: "However, I have something else to do tonight. I have to... ahem, in short, I really have something very important that I must do."
Xitiao hugged Gu Ran, "Gu, we just praised you, you can't do this! If anything happens, all of us can help you do it together!"
"Yes, yes! Let's help you do it together!"
“There is strength in numbers!”
Damn it!
This is not possible. This is not a matter of strength in numbers! I can only do it myself! You all, get out of here!
Gu Ran immediately said: "Don't worry, everyone. Although I can't be here, I will pay for all the drinks you consume tonight. You just need to send me the bill in the end."
"How embarrassing is this?"
"Gu, are you really not going to celebrate with us?"
"Gu, are you afraid of being led astray by us?"
No, no, no, I am afraid that I will lead you astray...
Gu Ran smiled and said: "Don't think too much, I really have something to do tonight."
Tonight, I want to show Teacher Maria the space capsule!
And there is a high probability that you can get...a full range of physical therapy.
Isn't this more interesting than watching Rusty's performance of opening a wine bottle?
"Okay, okay," Coach Carter pressed his palms and said in a deep voice: "I have no right to interfere with your partying in the bar, but I ask you not to go home after 12 o'clock at night, and not to fight in the bar. Remember, qualifying for the group is not our ultimate goal, we still have a very important game next! If you miss the game because you were drinking and causing trouble in the bar, you will be the sinners of Southampton Private School! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Coach! I understand!" the Bucks Steel Horns players replied excitedly.
Coach Carter continued: "The fourth thing is - we have already qualified in the group, so as the first place in Group E, we will compete with the second place in Group D, so the date of our next game will be It’s June 9th—five days left.”
"As for which team is second in Group D, the Football Association has not made an announcement yet. I will ask the drummer to send the information about our new opponents to everyone's mailboxes tomorrow morning. Everyone must check it carefully."
"Yes, coach!"
"In addition, because of our good results such as qualifying for first place, the school decided to give us two days off!"
"Wow!"
"It's so cool!"
The Bucks Steel Horns players are all going to fly with joy.
Carter pressed his palms and said with a serious face: "These two days, everyone can play as you like, but after the holiday is over, you have to take your mind back completely and train hard! Although we won today, we must We clearly realize that the Golden Fleece is indeed stronger than us in all aspects. If it weren't for Gu Ran's last full-moon scimitar kick, we would never have been able to reverse the situation at the buzzer. And the next round of 16 is the knockout round , if you lose a game, you can only go home, so I ask you that when you come back from the holiday, you must devote yourself to training and strive to break into the top 8!"
"Yes! Coach!" The Bucks Steel Horns players responded in unison with confidence.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing." Carter was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, "When Gu Ran scored the first goal, you guys stacked him up on the court. Each of you was fined 200 frogs. Jump."
"Ah???" all the Bucks Steel Horns players screamed.
"Coach! It's not our fault!"
"Yes, coach! It's strange, Gu's sideways volley goal was so cool!"
Damn it...
Are you still relying on me?
You idiots!
Having said that, I am the victim, so I shouldn’t have to jump frog, right?
Gu Ran couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
I heard Coach Carter add another sentence, "You can add 100 more rust strips."
Xi Tiao said in shock: "Why, coach!"
Carter said angrily: "Just because you were the last one, you were the most suppressed!"
Rusty Strip looked up to the sky and shouted: "No! No! No -"
Carter paused and then said: "Of course, you can remember the account of Leapfrog first, and then make up for it together when you are eliminated."
Minato asked quickly: "What if we never get eliminated and reach the finals?"
Carter sneered, "Rush to the finals? If you can really do it, how much do you owe Leapfrog, and the coach will pay it for you personally!"
"yeah!"
"Coach! This is what you said!"
"Brothers! In order to make the coach...no, in order not to be eliminated, work hard!"
"Stag Steel Horns! Fight to the bitter end!"
"Oooo!"
This group of middle school students became excited again as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
"Okay, it's a day off! Everyone, go back and have a good rest! See you the day after tomorrow!"
"Goodbye, coach!" the players cheered collectively.
Coach Carter turned around and walked out of the locker room with his postgame dominance in hand.
The glider chased after him as if he had lost his soul, "Coach, coach, my mobile phone..."
"Taking a shower!"
"Hey, Gu, are you really not going to the bar with us tonight?"
"No, no," Gu Ran said with a smile, "I really have something to do."
"Then you'll miss the opportunity to pick up girls!"
"I really don't want to pick up girls, and I don't know how to pick up girls..."
Gu Ran walked into the shower room with his teammates.
There was the sound of running water and boys fighting with each other in the shower, and the sound of soap falling to the floor.
After taking a shower.
Gu Ran opened the locker and took out his cell phone.
There were seven or eight missed calls and more than fifty text messages on the phone!
Most of these text messages are from students at Southampton private schools. The contents of the text messages are varied, such as "My dear, are you free tonight?", "Husband, when will we have a baby?", "I am an F cup" , want to get to know you" such straightforward words...
Gu Ran ignored them all.
There are also two text messages, the first one is from Teacher Maria: [Gu, you should be taking a shower now, right? Don't forget our agreement, I've been waiting for you. If you dare to forget our agreement, see how I deal with you next time I see you. ]
At the end of the text message, there is also a dynamic kiss emoticon.
This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement!
Wow~
Just reading Teacher Maria's text message made Gu Ran feel numb all over.
Teacher Maria's sisterly expression lingered in Gu Ran's mind.
Gu Ran's heart was in a state of excitement, as if he could smell Teacher Maria's Chanel from the text messages.
Alas, my young body has experienced too little after all.
Gu Ran then sent the address of his villa to Teacher Maria and replied: [Teacher Maria, please come to my place at 8pm. My space capsule will not be in place until 8pm. ]
On the other side, Teacher Maria, who had returned home, was putting on makeup. When she heard the text message on her phone, she immediately put down her eyebrow pencil and picked up her phone to check.
"Pfft!"
Teacher Maria was giggling at the phone, "You want me to go there at 8 o'clock in the evening? You are so cunning, you just want to take advantage of the darkness to leave me there overnight! You are talking about a space capsule?" I just want him to be more prepared. This little puppy is so cute! Huh? This address is actually the Dune Villa Luxury Resort Hotel? Geez, he is really thoughtful!"
Teacher Maria immediately replied: [Okay, let’s meet at 8pm! I'll wait for your space capsule to be in place, and I want to eat it tonight, hee hee! ]
Gu Ran felt numb all over after receiving the text message, "What???"
