Edwards shouted so kindly that Gu Ran had no choice but to stop again.
Edwards quickly said: "Gu, you are a very moral player. You are right. Southampton Club has applied for a labor certificate for you. You should indeed repay Southampton. However, there are many ways to repay. We are not trying to lure you to Liverpool for free, nor are we trying to cause losses to Southampton Club. We respect the professional contract you have signed with Southampton Club, and we will make an offer to you in the form of a transfer fee. As long as you If you are willing to come to Liverpool, we will not only offer you a new five-year contract with a weekly salary higher than that of Southampton Club, but we will also offer Southampton Club a transfer fee that they cannot refuse."
Damn it...
Aren’t you?
I haven't played a single professional league game yet, and you, Liverpool, want to buy my transfer? !
Before Gu Ran could say anything, Edwards directly quoted the transfer price, "We can give Southampton Club 3 million pounds - this transfer price, I'm afraid even the players in Southampton Club's first team can't reach it! 3 million pounds, this can be regarded as repaying Southampton Club for their hard work in applying for your labor certificate."
Damn it...
My transfer value is actually 1 million pounds higher than Sterling?
Liverpool is very sincere!
Gu Ran felt slightly relieved.
But while feeling secretly happy, Gu Ran also maintained his basic calmness and composure.
3 million pounds is indeed very sincere. It is almost the transfer fee for a Carvalho-level star. However, if you really transfer to Liverpool, I am afraid that you will have the same treatment as going to Chelsea, and you will also have to stay in the youth training team. A year or two.
This is indeed a kind of protection, but it is also because there are so many talents in big clubs that there are few opportunities.
Moreover, it is better to lay the foundation and experience in the official matches of English League One than to lay the foundation in the youth training team.
Therefore, although Liverpool is indeed sincere, staying at Southampton is currently a more suitable choice.
"How's it going? Gu, if you have any ideas, just say it! We are fellow villagers!" Edwards looked forward to it.
Fellow fellows dig fellow fellows...
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Michael, it stands to reason that we shouldn't talk about this kind of thing in private. If it were anyone else, I might just walk away. But you graduated from Southampton High School, so of course I want to talk to you. Others treat them differently. What I can tell you is that I don’t have any ideas at the moment. If you want to poach me, you must first convince the Southampton Club, and then me. When you have settled the Southampton Club, come to me. .”
Edwards's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw hope!
At least Gu Ran didn't refuse!
But in fact, Gu Ran's real idea was to use Southampton Club as a cover.
Southampton Club is not that easy!
When Rice finalized the contract himself, he specifically added a minimum termination fee of 5 million pounds!
In other words, the transfer fee of 5 million pounds is the psychological bottom line of the Southampton club!
And 5 million pounds can buy a first-tier Premier League star!
Gu Ran said secretly in his heart: Not taking the initiative or refusing is because I am a scumbag... Bah, this is my code of conduct as a professional player.
"Thank you for your care! I know what to do next!"
Edwards held Gu Ran's hand excitedly, "I swear, I will definitely bring you to Liverpool! I can't wait to see how handsome you look in the red jersey! Oh, we can keep one Do you have contact information? That way, after we have negotiated the transfer fee with Southampton Club, I can contact you as soon as possible to discuss your contract!"
"No problem." Gu Ran immediately reported his mobile phone number.
Edwards quickly took out his cell phone and recorded it, and also sent a text message to Gu Ran's cell phone number, adding his name in the note.
After exchanging phone numbers, Gu Ran stopped talking to Edwards. After a simple handshake goodbye, he turned around and ran quickly into the visiting team's locker room.
At this time, the visiting team's locker room was filled with cheers, and the excited U18 team players were shirtless, singing and dancing happily.
Defeating the Liverpool U18 team this time will be of great help to the renewal of these young players in the new season!
And Gu Ran is the biggest contributor!
When Gu Ran returned to the locker room, the U18 players immediately gathered around and hugged Gu Ran, singing and dancing together.
Fortunately, Mai Fu and Gregory rescued Gu Ran from the crazy U18 players, and Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
Maiv and Gregory immediately gave Gu Ran a full body examination and massage.
Gu Ran's physical strength also recovered a lot immediately.
——After I go back tonight and do some ice and fire physiotherapy, my physical fitness will be restored to a minimum.
At that time, we can have a good farewell battle with Honami.
Gu Ran felt happy.
After ten minutes, the physical therapy ended.
After taking a shower, Gu Ran changed into clean clothes and said goodbye to Alan Shearer.
Alan Shearer hugged Gu Ran reluctantly, "Gu, remember my words, if you want to come to Newcastle United, be sure to call me. Newcastle United will prepare the No. 9 I once wore for you. Jersey.”
"Okay, Mr. Shearer."
"I'm looking forward to your performance in the English League One. As long as it's your game, I will definitely watch every game."
"Thank you, Mr. Shearer, I'll try my best."
"Come on! I believe you will become the new Premier League top scorer one day!"
Alan Shearer hugged Gu Ran forcefully again, and patted Gu Ran's back several times with his big hands.
Gu Ran was about to vomit blood after being slapped.
After Alan Shearer left the locker room, Gu Ran followed Coach Dodd and other players from the Southampton U18 team to say goodbye happily to the Melwood Training Center and took the bus to the airport.
On the bus, Gu Ran took out his mobile phone and saved the phone numbers of Alan Shearer, Sterling, and Edwards.
——These are superstars and future superstars, and they will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future.
Especially with Sterling, the happy boy.
In the future, Sterling will be the main competitor in the Premier League.
Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Sterling.
Just when Gu Ran put down his phone and was about to close his eyes to rest, a new text message alert sounded.
It should be Edwards, right? Liverpool is really in a hurry!
Gu Ran opened his phone and took a look.
It's not Edwards.
It’s Emilia Clarke, who plays Mother Dragon in Game of Thrones.
When Gu Ran accompanied Sophie to the audition, she had a very pleasant communication with Emilia. Gu Ran also helped Emilia with guidance, so that Emilia had an understanding of the role of Dragon Mother in advance. Clear perception.
Although Emilia could get the role of "Daenerys Targaryen" without Gu Ran's help, the girl Emilia believed that it was because of Gu Ran's guidance that she could get the role. to this important role.
Emilia has also been keeping in touch with Gu Ran through text messages. Of course, it is just a purely friendship exchange. From time to time, she shares stills from the "Game of Thrones" crew, and occasionally asks Gu Ran for advice on acting skills.
Gu Ran replied when he had time, but the interactions were not many and not deep.
Therefore, Gu Ran was not surprised by Amelia's text message.
Gu Ran casually clicked on the text message:
[Hi, Gu! My good friend, how are you doing lately? The filming of my scenes has recently started, I am so excited and happy! Thank you again for your guidance! Without you, there would be no role for me! In addition, I just found out that you are already a professional player, and you are also a very good professional player! I'm really bad because I don't pay much attention to football, but because of you, I will pay more attention to football in the future! I only congratulate you now. I wonder if you will be angry with me? By the way, you must be very busy now, right? I am actually sending you a text message this time to ask you to do me a favor. Is it inconvenient for you recently? ]
Damn it?
I have said so many nice polite words before, it seems that this favor must be difficult to help.
Gu Ran thought for a while and decided to give it to "the descendant of old Valyria, the queen of the Andal ancestors, the ruler of Westeros and the guardian of the entire territory, Khaleesi, the Dothraki of the steppe, no The Burner, Queen of Meereen, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, Liberator of Astapor, Queen of the Rhoynar and the First Men, Princess of Dragonstone, Slayer of the City, Queen of the Scorched Earth, Dany the Stormborn The actor who plays "Lise" is a face.
Gu Ran immediately replied: [Hi, Amelia! I'm glad to hear that you're already in shooting mode, and I'm really looking forward to your stunning scenes. Thank you for your congratulations. Although it is not the first time, it is equally precious to me. I'm really busy right now. I just finished the game and I'm going to the airport right away. However, even if I'm busy, I will still try my best to help you if you need me, so please feel free to ask. ]
Emilia's text message was sent immediately: [Oh! marvelous! Gu, thank you! I owe you one! The thing is like this - when I was interviewing for "Game of Thrones", I met a good girl. At that time, she entered the third round of re-examination, but was defeated by me in the end. Even though we were rivals in roles, we always had a great relationship and stayed in touch. Now she is going to audition for a new crew soon. She is worried that she will still fail, so I told her about your guidance. After listening to this, my friend really wants to get your guidance. I wonder when you will be free? ]
Gu Ran:......
Emilia, are you stupid?
Well, you are!
Gu Ran felt angry and funny:
I play football, not a Hollywood director!
Don’t you think it’s weird to ask me for guidance on your acting skills?
Also, who is this failed competitor?
Forget it, don’t ask, no matter who she is—it can’t be a big star who is more awesome than Emilia in the future, right?
Anyway, out of Emilia's kindness, I'd like to help if I can. Anyway, it's just a little guidance, it won't take much effort.
It can also deepen the relationship with Emilia...
After the relationship becomes deeper, you can...understand each other more deeply.
Gu Ran immediately replied: [For you, Emilia! Let her come to me. However, I have been too busy this week, so I have to wait until next week, and I can only come in the evening. You ask her to come to my dune villa to meet me on any night next week, and I'll send you the address. ]
Gu Ran conveniently attached the address.
This week is indeed too busy. The results of the labor certificate will be available tomorrow, Suzuki Honami is also leaving, and she has to go to Evelin’s house to watch airplanes and horseback riding...
So, it really can only be scheduled until next week.
[Thanks! Gu! I knew you were the best, the best, the best! I will tell my good friends this good news! I'll let her find you next week! Wish you all the best! ]
[Okay, I wish you all the best! ]
After Gu Ran finished replying, he put his phone away and didn't take this episode seriously anymore, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
The bus arrived at the airport quickly.
On the plane, Evelin took the initiative to sit next to Gu Ran again.
When taking off, Evelin interlocked with Gu Ran again, seeking comfort.
Along the way, Evelin kept chattering, while Gu Ran remained silent.
Gu Ran could still feel the gaze coming from somewhere behind him...
After the plane landed and stopped, and after everyone else got off the plane, Gu Ran sighed helplessly, "Evelin, can you let go?"
"Thank you, Gu, you are such a good man."
Evelin didn't wait for Gu Ran to stand up from her seat, and suddenly her whole delicate body pressed against Gu Ran's body, and then kissed Gu Ran deeply on the cheek.
Damn it...
Was attacked...
Gu Ran subconsciously blocked it with his hands.
By the way, Evelin, you are also very talkative, but if you really want to get serious about it, why are you so shy instead?
Gu Ran suddenly felt a little thirsty in his young body.
"Okay, I'm leaving! I have to go back to the editorial office and work overtime to finish the manuscript for tomorrow's Advance Saints newspaper. See you on the weekend!"
After saying that, Evelin happily ran off the plane.
Looking at Evelin's toned figure, Gu Ran couldn't help but sigh.
What a sin!
Gu Ran collected his emotions, then walked off the plane with his sports bag on his back, took the club bus with the players, and returned to the Staplewood training base.
As soon as they got off the bus, the U18 teammates invited Gu Ran again:
"Hi! Gu! Come and have a party at the bar with us!"
"Yes, yes! The pole dancing shower show in the bar is really nice!"
Gu Ran smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, I really have something to do tonight."
Coach Dodd clapped his hands and said, "Everyone gather together! Let me just say a few words!"
The U18 players who were having fun just now lined up next to the bus.
Coach Dodd said: "We won the friendly match today, but I think everyone knows that without Gu Ran, we would have lost completely. So, let us give our most sincere applause to Gu Ran Of course! Thank you for his contribution to the team!"
Wow!
The U18 players all applauded Gu Ran with conviction.
Only Kawai Yuichi, who was standing at the back of the team, did not applaud. Instead, his face was full of unconcealable jealousy, and his fists clenched.
Just listen to coach Dodd continue to praise: "Gu Ran is the star of hope for our Southampton club. Today he proved himself with three goals and two assists. I think you should also realize that you are the star of hope." How big is the gap, right? I'm still saying the same thing, I don't ask you to become a star of hope like Gu Ran, I just ask you to reach the level of Gu Ran!"
"Yes! Coach!"
"We want to be a hair on Gu Ran's head!"
Southampton U18 players shouted loudly.
Damn it...
Gu Ran himself was a little embarrassed to hear this.
Coach Dodd added: "Let me tell you one more thing: I have one day off tomorrow, plus two days on the weekend, so everyone has three consecutive days off."
"yeah!"
The players of the U18 team immediately cheered when they heard that there was a three-day holiday.
After beating the Liverpool U18 team, we still have 3 days of vacation, so we don’t have to take it away. It’s so cool!
Coach Dodd frowned and said: "I advise you not to be happy too early! After this holiday is over, the first team will begin to return next Monday, and the contracts of many of you will also be re-signed! Should you be promoted to the reserve team, or should you join the reserve team? The U18 team has terminated its contract and become a free agent, and there will be a final decision within the next week!”
The U18 players gasped and looked nervous.
Coach Dodd grinned again and said: "Of course, you don't need to worry too much. Winning the Liverpool U18 team this time will improve your overall performance a lot."
The emotions of the U18 team players were pulled back and forth by Coach Dodd.
"Okay, everyone can disperse and go home!"
Coach Dodd turned to Suzuki Honami who was not far away and said: "Ma'am, please stay a moment. We have already determined the results of Kawai Yuichi's trial training."
Suzuki Honami was slightly startled.
She thought the results would be available tomorrow, but she didn't expect the results to be finalized so soon.
It seems... there is no room left.
The friendly match against the Liverpool U18 team was the final test for Yuichi Kawai.
Obviously, Kawai Yuichi's performance in the friendly match can simply be described as catastrophic.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Coach." Suzuki Honami bowed slightly, fully mentally prepared.
The U18 team players who were about to disband and leave were not in a hurry to leave, and stood around curiously.
They all also want to know when Yuichi Kawai, the black sheep, can get out.
Coach Dodd took out an evaluation form and handed it to Suzuki Honami, "This is our coaching staff's comprehensive evaluation of Yuichi Kawai, as well as my evaluation of his performance in this friendly match."
Suzuki Honami took it over, skipped the various data scores, and directly saw the results in the last row:
In view of the player's professional level and uncontrollable emotions, the trial was not passed.
really……
Gu Ranjun was right.
Yuichi is really not a football player.
Miracles will not happen to Yuichi either.
Only Gu Ranjun is the real strong man and the real miracle...
Suzuki Honami smiled in relief and said softly in an almost relieved tone: "Thank you, Mr. Coach, for all your efforts."
Coach Dodd also said politely: "It's nothing, ma'am."
I have to say that Suzuki Honami has excellent self-cultivation!
The gentleness, intellectuality, elegance and self-restraint of Eastern women are vividly reflected in Suzuki Honami.
Kawai Yuichi asked eagerly: "Mom! Did I pass? Have I passed?!"
Suzuki Honami calmly handed the evaluation form to Kawai Yuichi, "I'm sorry Yuichi, you didn't pass. You can read it yourself."
"No! Impossible!" Kawai Yuichi grabbed the evaluation form with a face full of disbelief, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, "...not passed? This is impossible! I am the shooter of the Japanese High School National Competition Championship Team ! How could I not even pass the youth team trial of a low-level league club like Southampton?!"
Honami said softly: "Yuichi, this is your truest achievement, accept it with a smile."
"...Smile?" Kawaiiong's entire face was twisted ferociously due to the violent mood swings, "No! Why should I smile! Why should I accept it! I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced!"
Kawai Yuichi tore up the evaluation form in his hand to pieces!
"I didn't lose! I didn't lose to anyone!"
"It must, must be all because of Gu Ran!"
Kawai Xiong pointed the finger at Gu Ran, "Baga! It's you! It's because of your existence that you stole the limelight that should belong to me! If it weren't for you! I would definitely be able to pass the trial training! I definitely will!"
Gu Ran's voice was as calm as water, "Stop dreaming, Yuichi Kawai. Haven't you recognized yourself yet? Do you have speed? Do you pass the ball? Do you have physical fitness? Do you have perseverance in competition, adversity and failure?" Do you have the ability to maintain your emotions and mentality? You have nothing. The only thing you have is a good and understanding mother."
Honami's throat swallowed subconsciously, and tears flowed down silently.
Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "Maybe you really like playing football, but your temper and character are not suitable for playing football at all. After returning to China, do other things. The most important thing is, don't let you Mom is worried and sad about you - she still has her own life, and you can't blame all your own misfortunes on her."
"Ahhh! Baga!"
Kawai Yuichi roared like crazy, his self-esteem was severely bruised!
"Gu Ran!, I admit that I'm not as good as you in football, but what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson!"
"Without you, I might not look so bad!"
"So what if you are Southampton's star of hope?"
"So what if everyone here treats you like God and licks and flatters you?"
"I, Kawai Yuichi, just don't obey you!"
"Because you are a coward! You don't even dare to accept my duel! What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson!"
Gu Ran smiled proudly, "I am indeed qualified to teach you a lesson, because...I am your father."
Honami's heart skipped a beat next to her!
Gu Ranjun...you, you, you...don't tell us about our private relationship! ! !
"Baga!!!" Kawai Xiong clenched his fists loudly, and he was about to explode with anger. "Gu Ran, how dare you scold me! You have the ability to challenge me to a duel!"
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Gu Ran's mouth, "OK, daddy will satisfy you this time."
Kawai Yuichi was stunned on the spot.
Gu Ran sneered: "What, are you scared?"
Kawai Yuichi blushed, "...No! I will be scared!? I will be scared! Just don't regret it!"
Gu Ran sneered and said: "Do you really think I don't challenge you because I'm afraid of you? I don't want to argue with you. Now that your trial training is over, since you are still seeking death, don't blame me - start a war Bar."
