At this moment, Gu Ran's eyes were filled with bubbles of negative emotions.
Moreover, there are actually three blue skill bubbles in this wave of bubbles!
How cool!
Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and quickly scanned the white bubbles to see if there were any that could be used.
The contents of the white bubbles are mostly bubbles such as "The results of upper limb core muscle group training + 10 hours", "The results of personal trainer-level physical training + 10 hours", and "The results of shooting training + 10 hours".
There’s even a bubble for “Kayak Side Paddle Training + 10 Hours.”
Hey...this player, you are a bit unprofessional.
Except for the "canoe side paddle training" bubble, other training results were pretty good, but there were no dynamic training results that Gu Ran was particularly looking forward to.
From this point alone, the Delta River team is far behind the Rugby Golden Fleece team.
St. Paul's Boys' School does focus more on canoeing, and football is not their school's strength.
But this does not prevent St. Paul's Boys' School from spending a lot of money to introduce semi-professional players from Chelsea's youth training echelon, so as to strive for good rankings every year.
You can also imagine how difficult it is for an ordinary private school like Southampton to qualify in the group.
Yes, this world is inherently unfair...
Gu Ran calmly ignored these white bubbles.
There are still 8 pickups to progress today, and the focus should be on the other three blue skill bubbles.
The first blue bubble was dropped by a player named "Rosser Demps".
Gu Ran had an impression of this player - the school team's internal intelligence data showed that Rosser Demps was the main right winger of the St. Paul Delta River team. He was 183cm tall and weighed 79kg. He was characterized by his high speed. He is physically strong and highly confrontational. He has repeatedly staged scenes of eating the opponent's full-back alive.
The right winger... Positionally speaking, it corresponds to Gu Ran's left back.
This will be the main opponent on the green field today.
Gu Ran couldn't help but look at Rosser one more time.
Rosser's eyes also happened to be looking at Gu Ran.
The moment the eyes of both parties came into contact, sparks seemed to burst out.
Rosser's height is not much higher than Gu Ran's, but his weight is obviously much heavier than Gu Ran's.
These extra weights are real high-density muscles.
Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and checked the blue skill bubble dropped by Rosser: cutting inside from the wing +1.
Damn it!
This skill is very good!
Gu Ran felt happy and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Cutting in from the wing can be regarded as one of the most common skills on the football field. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than changing the line when dribbling.
But when to change the line and cut in, what speed to use, even which part of the foot to dribble with, what fake moves to use, and how to form regional cooperation with teammates, this is technology.
In fact, the so-called top stars do not mean that they have skills that others cannot do, but that they can practice extremely ordinary skills into miraculous skills.
As a reborn person with 12 years of experience, Gu Ran is also good at cutting in from the wing, and can even reach the level of +3. Coupled with his own super high golf IQ, he can definitely reach the level of +4. The winger cuts inside.
However, this is already the bottleneck level that Gu Ran can perform.
And now you can pick up the new "Wide Cutting In" skill, which undoubtedly gives Gu Ran the opportunity to break through his bottleneck of wing cutting!
As long as he masters this skill, even if it is a +1 level, Gu Ran can superimpose his original level and use the skill of cutting in from the wing to a +5 level.
With a level of +5, he can completely sweep the amateur competition!
In amateur competitions, it is necessary to pick up more of this seemingly ordinary, but very necessary basic skill.
Only by laying a good foundation will you be able to make a splash when you have the opportunity to enter the professional league in the future! Show off the entire crowd!
Gu Ran immediately gathered his thoughts and captured Rosser's skill bubble of cutting in from the wing!
When the bright light that only Gu Ran could see entered his body, Gu Ran felt that his understanding of the technique of cutting in from the wing had deepened a lot!
So cool!
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran quickly checked the second blue bubble with his mind.
The second blue bubble dropped by Delta River midfielder Butler Marks.
This player's information shows that he is 191cm tall and weighs 90kg. From a physical point of view, he looks exactly like Yaya Toure, very strong.
This physical condition alone is enough to enter the professional league.
Butler was also recruited from the Chelsea youth academy by St. Paul's Boys' School and is also the on-field captain of the Delta River team.
According to the internal information of the school team, Butler can not only play as a midfielder, but also as a central midfielder and defensive midfielder. His interception and stealing ability is second to none among all high school teams.
Butler performed very well in previous games, averaging 8.0 points per game after the game. He is also the main contender for the best talent player award in this year's national competition.
This guy is really a good seedling.
The reason why he didn't go to the professional league to play football was probably because he wanted to get a high "special scholarship" from St. Paul's Boys' School.
This kind of scholarship is much higher than being a second-line player or substitute player in a professional league.
but……
With Gu Ran's 12 years of reading and understanding of football stars, this Butler will not become famous in the future and has no reputation at all.
Football is like this. There are many talented players who looked good when they were young but eventually disappeared due to various reasons.
The blue bubble dropped by Butler is: interception and steal +1.
Gu Ran felt happy again!
This is going to be so fun today!
Before the game officially started, I picked up two super practical skills!
This "interception and steal" is even better than the "cutting in from the wing" just now!
As a full-back, the skill Gu Ran lacks most now is ordinary defensive skills.
After all, the Bucks Steel Horns are a weak team, and the basic strategic positioning of a weak team is to defend and counterattack. Especially in the early stages of the game, defense is very important.
Gu Ran has a good sense of position, is fast enough, and has a high football intelligence, but he rarely makes interceptions or steals.
Firstly, it's because of the inverse foot problem, and secondly, he has never played as a defender in his previous life, so he is really not good at defense. It is easy for the opponent to show his cowardice and let the opponent seize the opportunity by blindly attacking.
And if he has the ability to intercept and steal, Gu Ran's defensive shortcomings can be effectively made up for!
Gu Ran said nothing, and with a thought, he used the "Interception and Stealing +1" skill through the air.
It’s great! It’s great!
Gu Ran took a deep breath of satisfaction.
There is one last blue skill bubble left.
The loser of this blue bubble is Eddie Conrad - a goalkeeper and a semi-professional player recruited by St. Paul's Boys' School from Chelsea's youth training echelon.
Goalkeeper’s skill bubble…
Gu Ran didn't have much hope for this.
Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and took a look: +1 for throwing the ball vigorously.
Sure enough, it's useless...
However, it can be inferred from this goalkeeper skill that Eddie is very good at hitting the ball quickly and powerfully.
And throwing the ball quickly and vigorously can easily form a quick counterattack single-handed ball.
This must be guarded against... Gu Ran secretly noted it down, and then ignored this useless blue skill bubble.
In this way, plus the white bubbles picked up on the train station platform, there are only 6 pickups left today.
These 6 times can be saved to continue to use "Interception, Stealing" and "Wide Cutting" a few times during the game. If you can use these two skills for the second or third time, it will be equivalent to saving talent points.
Of course, Gu Ran's core need today is Lampard.
...I wonder, when can I see Lampard?
For a star of Lampard's level, time is very tight, so it is naturally impossible for him to come to St. Paul's Boys' School so early.
Another question is: If you can really see Lampard, how can you get his skills in the fastest way?
You can't hold Anne's hand and walk up to Lampard and let Lampard also drop blue bubbles of envy and hatred, right?
This is not very realistic.
After all, Lampard is also a superstar and has experienced a lot of the world. He will not be so ignorant as these students from St. Paul's Boys' School.
Moreover, Anne's identity cannot be made public, and even her face is not exposed.
Therefore, if you want to prostitute the magic lamp, you have to rely on yourself.
At this time, Benson, the assistant coach of the Delta River team, had already introduced the meal and training process arrangements to Coach Carter.
Just listen to Coach Benson say proudly: "Oh, by the way, Coach Carter, you should know that in today's game, we invited a football superstar who is from Chelsea to kick off for us, and - haha, how should I say it? Well, there will be a special surprise arrangement. So you'd better go to the Riverside Stadium 10 minutes in advance, so as not to miss the opportunity to get in touch with the football superstar - this kind of opportunity is of course nothing to us at St. Paul's Boys' School, but it is for you. We are a private school in Southampton, which is very rare.”
Coach Benson exudes a sense of superiority both inside and outside his words.
Coach Carter smiled coldly, "Okay, got it."
Coach Benson smiled and said: "Then please go to our restaurant No. 3 for dinner first. We have other things to do, so we won't accompany you."
After saying that, Coach Benson signaled to the Delta River players to disperse and leave.
"Let's go too." Gu Ran said to Annie.
"Yeah." Annie followed Gu Ran obediently, as obediently as she wanted.
On the way to the No. 3 restaurant of St. Paul's Boys' School, the Bucks Steel Horns were wildly watched by the students of St. Paul's Boys' School.
Of course, they were mainly watching Anne.
"Who is this beautiful woman?"
“I can’t see my face, but I look so elegant!”
"Oh my god! She walks so gracefully, like a princess!"
"She's not a real princess, right?"
"Nonsense! Can a real princess have such a figure?"
"I bet my head that this beauty must be a big star!"
"Fake...why is such a beautiful woman so close to an Asian guy?"
"Asians go eat bananas!"
"Get out of our school!"
A few guys scolded Gu Ran directly, and even made discriminatory gestures like eye-rolling.
"Farke!"
Rusty Strip was the first to hold back, clenching his fists and wanting to go up and try to reason with those bastards.
Gu Ran grabbed Xi Biao, "What do you want to do?"
Rusty Strip said angrily: "Gu, aren't you angry? They actually insulted you! Insulting you is equivalent to insulting all of us at Bucks Steel Horns!"
Other Bucks Steelers players are also gearing up.
Gu Ran said calmly: "The players' matters should be settled through football matches. Of course I'm angry when they insult like this, so I will eat more of their free lunches and then fuck their mouths hard on the field." .”
"Haha! That's right!"
"We fucked them on the field!"
The morale of the Bucks Steel Horns team suddenly increased!
Coach Carter on the side nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Gu Ran's handling method.
Annie said cautiously: "I'm sorry, Gu, this is all the trouble I caused for you."
Anne was so beautiful that even if most of her pretty face was covered, her youthfulness could not be concealed.
Therefore, Gu Ran, who was standing next to Anni, would naturally be deliberately targeted.
Gu Ran had already been mentally prepared for this.
Gu Ran smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, just let them be envious, jealous and hateful. Only by making my enemies hate me to the core and be unable to do anything to me can I prove my excellence."
Annie was slightly startled, and then said with admiration: "Listening to what you said, it seems to be a bit enjoyable - but it can be more enjoyable."
After saying that, Annie took the initiative to hold Gu Ran's hand and pressed half of her body against Gu Ran's arm.
Damn~
The students at St. Paul's Boys' School who discriminated against and mocked Gu Ran were all dumbfounded.
The person they discriminated against the most was now right in front of him, enjoying the treatment they would never get in eight lifetimes...
The bubbles of these St. Paul's Boys' School students are going crazy!
Gu Ran didn't even look at it!
These junk things have no value in picking up!
Gu Ran didn't even notice how he got to Restaurant No. 3.
In other words, the lunch arrangement at St. Paul's Boys' School is quite good, and it is also buffet-style. It is of a higher standard than Manchester Arts School and a little lower than Tonbridge Secondary School.
Of course, it's many times better than the lunch at Southampton Private School.
The main players of the Bucks Steel Horns are eating vigorously.
But Annie simply put down her knife and fork after a few bites.
Gu Ran asked: "What's wrong, Annie? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Annie smiled and shook her head, "No, it's just that after getting used to eating sweet dishes made by you, all other Western food becomes boring."
Damn~
Annie, your small mouth is no, your big mouth is so sweet!
Gu Ran smiled and said: "Good boy, just eat some ice cream and cake or something first. Don't be hungry. I'll cook for you when you get home."
"Yes." Annie nodded obediently.
...What an obedient little assistant.
After lunch, the Bucks Steel Horns rested for an hour in the lounge arranged by St. Paul's Boys' School, and then went to the training ground designated by St. Paul's Boys' School for pre-match training.
Annie followed Gu Ran and took the initiative to help Gu Ran get his bag.
Since today is a role play, Annie should not think of herself as a big star, but sincerely serve as Gu Ran's life assistant.
The warm-up training of the Bucks Steel Horns team begins.
Gu Ran took the lead and ran at the front of the team.
It was also the first time for Anne to watch football players warm-up training live.
When he saw Gu Ran rushing to the front of the team, he couldn't help shouting excitedly:
"Gu, come on!"
"Gu, you are so great!"
"Gu, you are so awesome!"
"Gu, you are so fast!"
I thought that Anne, who had never eaten Chinese food, would only praise her cooking skills, but she was even more horrified when she praised her warm-up training!
What do you mean I'm so fast?
You should shout like this: Gu, your frequency is so fast!
Gu Ran tried his best to clear his mind of complaining and concentrate on warming up.
The other Bucks Steel Horns players were overwhelmed by Annie's cheers...
Annie cheered Gu Ran on, and was more lethal than Coach Carter "digging my grandma out of her grave"!
As soon as the warm-up run was over, Gu Ran quickly came to Annie.
Before Gu Ran could speak, Annie very thoughtfully took out a handkerchief full of customized perfume and wiped Gu Ran's sweat, "Gu, you were so great just now! You left all of them behind! I feel so excited when I see you win! Is this the passion that football brings? Come on, sit down and drink some water!"
Gu Ran suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Annie... we are just warming up as a team now! It's not a competition yet, you are getting excited a little too early!"
"Ah?" Annie was slightly startled, "Oh, I was just wondering why I didn't see you playing football. Sorry, I haven't watched football, and I don't know what the team warm-up is like. I thought you would You like it when I cheer you up like this.”
As she spoke, Annie became a little depressed.
Damn it...
I accidentally broke Annie's heart.
She is a big Hollywood star, and she works as a personal assistant for me in such a lowly manner that she doesn’t feel tired. I actually despise her...
Gu Ran said in a gentle tone: "I didn't say that I don't like you cheering for me. What I mean is that the game hasn't started yet and you are already excited. You should save your energy and wait until the official game. I’ll go for it.”
When Annie heard this, she became excited again, "Yeah! Okay!"
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and continued to train.
The half-hour warm-up training is over.
The Bucks Steelhorns headed to Riverside Stadium more than 10 minutes early.
Gu Ran first arranged Annie to the stands behind the visiting team's bench, then returned to the visiting team's locker room to change the game jersey and listen to Coach Carter's pre-match lecture.
I heard Coach Carter say in a deep voice: "This game is the top 16 of the national competition. Logically speaking, with your level of strength, it is already very good to reach this stage. It seems that I shouldn't ask too much of you. .”
"But...the Delta River team didn't take us seriously at all!"
“When they knew we defeated the powerful Rugby Golden Fleece team, their first reaction was not: Wow, be careful of Southampton, this dark horse! Their first reaction was: Wow, we can easily enter the 8th. Stronger!"
"They've even prepared a celebration ceremony!"
"They also specially invited Chelsea's superstars to kick off the game and even arranged a mysterious project."
“They treat this game like a must-win game.”
"They don't take us southern men seriously at all!"
Carter glanced at the locker room with sharp eyes, "So, tell me, how are you going to respond to their contempt?"
"Ouch! Knock them out!"
"Stag Steel Horns! Fight to the bitter end!"
In the visiting team's locker room, all the players clenched their fists, their eyes were about to burst, and the excitement almost overturned the roof of the locker room!
Gu Ran also shouted loudly and clenched his fists tighter than anyone else!
Ah...this damn secondary sense!
"Very good!" Coach Carter nodded with satisfaction, "Now, change into your jersey and shoes and get used to the venue!"
"yes!"
The main players of the Bucks Steel Horns quickly changed into their jerseys and shoes and emerged from the tunnel.
At this time, the stands were filled with male students from St. Paul's Boys' School.
When the Bucks Steelhorns adapted to the field, the students of St. Paul's Boys' School booed wildly and made various discriminatory actions towards Gu Ran and others.
Gu Ran ignored these guys at all.
Gu Ran looked towards the stands behind the visiting team's bench, and Annie waved happily to Gu Ran.
Having Annie alone is better than thousands of home fans!
Gu Ran smiled at Annie, and Annie waved to Gu Ran even more excitedly.
Seeing this "happy" scene, one by one of the male students present broke their guard.
In other words, Gu Ran was far away from the stands, otherwise, he would definitely be able to see the bubbles all over the mountains and plains.
The grand entrance music sounded.
With the DJ's excited introduction, the players of the St. Paul Boys' School Delta River team entered the venue to adapt to the venue.
Every time the DJ introduces the name of a home team player, there will be crazy cheers.
Among them, their captain Butler Marks had the loudest voice and the most lasting applause.
What is different from the previous away treatment in the group stage is that after introducing the home team's player list, DJ also introduced the visiting team's starting list.
Every time the name of a visiting team player was introduced, the male students present would boo wildly and make various internationally insulting gestures.
And when the DJ introduced "the left back, G and R from China," the boos from the audience reached an unprecedented peak.
Gu Ran didn't feel nervous or aggrieved at all. Instead, he held his ears with his hands as if listening.
Anne, who was sitting in the stands of the visiting team, stood up and applauded Gu Ran.
Amid the wild boos, Anne's applause was almost drowned out, but Anne still clapped her hands vigorously.
Suddenly, the students at St. Paul's Boys' School were going crazy.
They obviously wanted to influence Gu Ran's mentality by booing and insulting gestures, but when Gu Ran was fine, their own mentality collapsed first.
After that, every Bucks Steel Horns player who was introduced also listened coldly and arrogantly, and supported Gu Ran with practical actions!
After all the player lists were introduced, the DJ shouted at the top of his lungs: "Now! Please be quiet, everyone! The most exciting moment has begun! Let us invite Chelsea, the king of London, the king of the Premier League. The team’s superstar makes his debut!”
There was thunderous applause and fireworks!
Everyone stood up from the stands, and all eyes were focused on the players' tunnel!
This is the influence of football superstars!
I saw a tough-looking and somewhat handsome star wearing a custom-made slim-fitting suit walking out waving.
Frank Lampard!
Gu Ran's eyes lit up...
Come, come, he's coming!
