Forget it, sooner or later I can get Chamberlain again for free.
This wave is already considered a huge profit.
Collected 6 useful skills in one go.
It’s really cool to be in a professional team!
And, this is just the beginning!
——Gu Ran felt happy and picked up two more white bubbles from the "Outside Instep Passing Training".
In this way, there are still two pickups left for today.
Let's see if there is a chance to acquire two more useful skills in the afternoon. If not, the training results of two more professional players will be very good.
Gu Ran said with satisfaction: "Thank you very much for the welcome ceremony."
After saying that, Gu Ran stood proudly in the team.
The other players were all going crazy with hatred, but due to the presence of head coach Adkins, they didn't dare to make too much of a mistake.
Coach Adkins walked back to the front of the queue and said, "Now, please ask my assistant coach to do roll call so that I can get to know you better."
The players suddenly became noisy:
"No, you still roll your name?"
"Hmph, a new official has taken office."
"Hurry up and take your order. I haven't had breakfast. I'm starving. Hurry up and take your order so I can go to the restaurant to eat!"
"I didn't have breakfast either~"
"On the first day back from vacation, who the hell can get up and get out of bed..."
Assistant coach Andy opened the roster and started calling names in order of jersey numbers.
"No. 1, goalkeeper Davis..."
Coach Andy shouted several times, but all he got was snickers from other players.
The first name I clicked was empty.
This is so shameless.
Coach Adkins asked in a deep voice: "Where is Captain Davis?"
Someone stood up and said: "Coach, Captain Davis...has a stomachache. He is currently receiving treatment in the hospital and will not come today."
Kevin Davis is a veteran of Southampton Club. He grew up during the club's crisis in 2008 and was a loyal loyalist to the club during its most difficult moments.
He is also the captain of the Southampton first team and has the highest weekly salary among all players, 3,970 pounds.
As one of the absolute main players of the team, Davis will not know how important today is.
Failure to come up at this juncture is obviously giving Adkins, the head coach, power.
If Coach Adkins cannot properly handle the fact that Davis is not here, then Coach Adkins' authority in the team will be gone, at least those veteran players who are of the same group as Davis will not Will take Coach Adkins' words seriously.
According to Southampton club records, players who are late will be fined.
Of course, for Davis, who has a high weekly salary, this fine is nothing.
On the contrary, if coach Adkins only fines him for this matter, it means that coach Adkins has no other way but to use fines to vent his anger.
All the players present were waiting for Coach Adkins to make a decision.
However, head coach Adkins still just had a poker face, without the slightest wave of emotion on his face, "Continue to call the names."
Assistant coach Andy continued to call the name: "No. 2, right back Richardson!"
"...Here he is, he's here!"
"No. 3, left back Haldin!"
"I am here."
"No. 4, midfielder Schneiderlin!"
"exist."
When number 8 was clicked, Gu Ran responded angrily, "Yes."
When I clicked on "No. 16, center back Walton", no one responded again.
Paul Wharton was also a loyal member of the Southampton club during the 2008 crisis, and he was also the team's second captain.
On the first day after returning from vacation, the two loyal ministers, the captain and the deputy captain did not come at the same time.
This is obviously not just about new head coach Adkins.
It was deliberately targeting the entire club!
The reason why the captain and deputy captain targeted the club was probably because the contract offered to Gu Ran by the club was too generous.
A grassroots player who has never played in a professional game can actually earn a weekly salary of 3,000, which is second only to them. As club veterans, they must be the most unconvinced.
They are using this method to make head coach Adkins compromise and the entire club to compromise, in order to suppress the newcomers and maintain the authority of the old man.
Then Coach Adkins said coldly: "What? Does Mr. Walton have a stomachache too?"
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter in the team, and then someone stood up and said, "No, coach, Vice Captain Wharton sent Captain Davis, who had a stomachache, to the hospital."
The other players laughed even more wildly.
Even a three-year-old child would not believe this excuse.
Everyone thought that Coach Adkins would explode, but Coach Adkins just sneered and said, "Go ahead."
Assistant coach Andy continued to name names.
After a while, the first team and reserve team rosters were all called up.
Gu Ran also took the opportunity to memorize the names and looks of the other players.
The first team is missing 4 people and the reserve team is missing 2 people.
The reasons for absence are also varied. So-and-so has a stomachache, so-and-so's girlfriend ran away with her boyfriend, so-and-so's mother is getting married to her grandfather...
This is a double happiness!
The training ground that should have been serious was now like a talk show convention, with constant laughter.
Among all the players, only Gu Ran didn't smile much.
——To be honest, the excuse of "Mom wants to get married to Grandpa" is still very exciting, but seeing how the discipline of a group of professional players is so lax, Gu Ran really can't laugh anymore.
Southampton Club almost disbanded a few years ago, and the club was not interested in disciplinary issues. It is already very good to be able to maintain it.
However, if you want to hit the British Championship, discipline must not be so lax.
It must be properly rectified and reorganized.
This depends on whether coach Adkins is tough enough.
Just listen to Coach Adkins say in a calm tone: "The roll call is over. I will conduct an ability test in the afternoon so that I can better understand your abilities."
...Is this the end?
Aren't there any penalties for players who didn't come?
Gu Ran couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The other players were laughing and joking wildly, not taking Coach Adkins' words to heart at all.
"In addition," Coach Adkins continued: "Andy, please write down the list of players who did not come today. No matter who they are, if they have not arrived for the test in the afternoon, their results will be invalid. There is no need to come here again, just apply for transfer directly."
"Okay." Assistant coach Andy used a pen to circle the names of all the players who were not called.
When the players who were still laughing and joking heard this, they all suddenly became quiet.
Coach Adkins said: "I just came to Southampton to coach, so maybe people are not familiar with my style."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
"You'll get to know me soon enough."
"I don't like fines, fines are nothing."
"I like to bench players who don't listen."
"So at my previous club, the players nicknamed me the bench coach."
"No matter who it is, as long as he violates my rules, I will make him sit on the bench."
"As long as I'm in charge at Southampton, he'll never play."
"It's useless for anyone to intercede."
"When Southampton Club asked me to coach, I made this very clear to them, and the club's senior management also gave me the right to rebuild the team."
"I will rebuild your rotten Southampton first team in the process of leading the team to the English Championship."
"I don't care how glorious your past has been, no matter how loyal you have been to Southampton Club, and no matter what level of contract you have, from the moment I become the head coach of Southampton, your glory and Loyalty is meaningless."
"I only look at three points——"
"Attitude, attitude, his attitude!"
"If you don't obey discipline, you'll be put on the bench. If you don't train seriously and show off, you'll be put on the bench. If you pick fights, you'll be put on the bench."
"The captain and vice-captain are gone, I can choose again."
"The old players are doing nothing, so I'll replace them with the newcomers."
"Don't try to fight me with your football career, you can't afford it."
"At worst, I'll change clubs and continue to be a coach."
"And your football careers will be ruined."
"Okay, that's all I have to say."
"At 3pm I hope to see every first team and reserve team player on the training ground."
"Disband."
After Coach Adkins finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Damn it...
Cruel!
Gu Ran couldn't help but secretly hissed.
I thought that Coach Adkins was a boring gourd, but I didn't expect that when Coach Adkins really talked, his fighting power would be so ferocious!
good! It takes such thunderous means to correct this unhealthy trend in Southampton's first team! There is hope for Southampton!
Gu Ran suddenly felt very happy.
The other players were stunned and couldn't react for a long time.
Coach Adkins didn't have a long speech or yell, but it was so intimidating!
Bench coach...
As a professional player, who is not afraid of sitting on the bench?
If you are tough with such a head coach, you definitely don’t want a career!
"Fake... I almost had a cramp in my calf just now."
"Is this new coach too tough?"
"The return day used to be a joke, but he actually wants to take a physical test?"
"I didn't even have any running training during the whole holiday..."
"Who isn't?"
"Coach Adkins really dares to bench or transfer loyal veterans like the captain and vice-captain? Is he trying to scare people?"
"I don't see it!"
"Davis and Walton are both 33 years old, right? If they transfer at this age, where will they find their next destination?"
"Call them quickly and ask them to come back as soon as possible to take the physical test in the afternoon!"
"Yeah!"
"There are other brothers who haven't come, please inform them to come back quickly!"
The players were in a panic.
Gu Ran got up and walked to the restaurant in the complex.
Before lunch, he also had to meet with the personal nutritionist arranged by the club under Rick's introduction.
This is another benefit that I have, but other players can only covet, hahaha...
After just a few steps, five or six strong men blocked Gu Ran's way.
The leader is left back Haldin.
Behind Haldin, except for defender No. 39 Tafazoli, who is a first-team player, the other four are all reserve team players.
This is supposed to be a small gang.
It seems that Haldin, the eldest brother, is not very prosperous. There are too few younger brothers, and they are basically all in the reserve team.
Then Haldin said with a fierce look: "Boy, you were very arrogant during the induction ceremony. You humiliated us and you still want to just walk away?"
Gu Ran sneered and said, "Why, you guys still want to be humiliated by me again?"
"Fake! Chinese boy, you are so crazy!"
"I think you just want to be beaten!"
"Did you know that our boss Haldin is the main left back! If you want to play at the left back position in the future, you have to learn from Mr. Haldin!"
"I have offended Boss Haldin. If you want to train in the future, no one will train with you!"
"You are isolated from us!"
The younger brothers behind Haldin showed off their power in various ways.
Training for isolation?
When training in groups, the full-backs do have to train together. Without anyone to cooperate with the training, this is a very serious problem.
but……
Gu Ran just felt like laughing, "I forgot to tell you that I have my own exclusive assistant coach. I don't need to train in groups with you. Training with you, I am worried that it will affect my goal improvement."
"What? You!"
"Fake! I'm so angry!"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to beat him! I'm going to beat him now!"
Haldin and his little brother were all going crazy with envy and were about to take action!
Gu Ran smiled coldly and arrogantly: "Want to fight? Okay. But as a teammate, I still want to kindly remind you that Coach Adkins just emphasized that you can't fight. If you want to sit on the bench, I'm more than happy to do so." of."
As soon as these words came out, Haldin and his brothers all calmed down.
Haldin said angrily: "Boy, don't be arrogant, you are now the public enemy of the whole team! We have many ways to make you cry!"
Gu Ran shrugged, "That's alright, come on."
With that said, Gu Ran passed by Haldin.
Haldin gathered all his strength and prepared to carry Gu Ran away with his shoulders——
Gu Ran had no intention of evading, and directly confronted Haldin!
Bang!
Their shoulders collided heavily!
Haldin was knocked back two steps!
If it weren't for the help of his younger brother behind him, Gu Ran's collision would definitely knock him to the ground!
Haldin suddenly blushed and couldn't believe it!
When he was at the physical examination center before, he deliberately bumped Gu Ran's shoulder. At that time, he didn't think Gu Ran was very strong.
As a result, when Gu Ran bumped into him now, he couldn't hold it back!
After Gu Ran knocked away Haldin who was blocking the way, the other boys immediately moved out of the way.
Gu Ran walked out of the crowd proudly.
"This kid..." Haldin gritted his teeth, "He still has some strength. However, I was not ready just now..."
"That's right! It's obviously that kid who carried out the sneak attack!"
"Boss, what should we do next? We can't just watch this kid get arrogant over us, right?"
"Humph, of course not!" Haldin looked at Gu Ran's retreating back and sneered, "We'll see!"
A few minutes later.
Personal assistant Rick took Gu Ran into the complex and headed to the first team restaurant.
"Gu, I have put your training clothes in your locker for you. After you have rest in the afternoon, you can go to the locker room and change directly."
"Well, thank you Rick."
I have to say that Rick does things quickly and well.
"You're welcome, this is my job." Rick grinned and said, "Please follow me this way. Rowena should be waiting for us in the first team restaurant."
"Is it Rowena?"
"Oh, she is your exclusive nutritionist. From now on, she will control and customize everything you eat and drink."
"All right……"
Gu Ran smiled helplessly.
The two walked out of the elevator, walked along the wall with wallpapers of Southampton Club's famous stars, and entered the first team restaurant.
The first team restaurant is a restaurant used by first team players, reserve team players, coaching staff, and related personnel.
Including Gu Ran's exclusive team doctor, physical therapist, personal assistant, exclusive coach, and nutritionist, they can all eat here.
These staff members can also communicate with the coordinator through the opportunity to have lunch together.
The restaurant for the first team is obviously larger and more upscale than the restaurant for the youth team.
The decoration style is also very modern, and everything is clean, tidy and spotless.
The sofa in the booth has a high backrest and looks very comfortable.
In the middle of the restaurant is the buffet table. The standard is exactly the same as that of a five-star hotel buffet, except that there is a lot less junk food and alcohol. It is basically high-energy and high-protein food, such as grilled chicken breast and grilled fish. Beef, mutton, a variety of vegetables, fruits, fried eggs, oatmeal, various breads, yogurt, etc.
There are also several large LCD TVs hanging on the walls of the first team restaurant.
What is shown on the TV is usually highlights of Southampton's first team games, as well as internal training and teaching videos and so on.
At this time, a short-haired woman in her thirties with a well-maintained figure took the initiative to walk up.
Rick whispered to Gu Ran: "This is the exclusive nutritionist arranged by the club for you. I have inquired about it for you. She is currently single, divorced, raising two children, and likes yoga..."
Damn it, who wants you to ask about this?
Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
