Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and jogged back to the sidelines.
Coach Jacob came forward excitedly and took the initiative to high-five Gu Ran to congratulate him.
Maeve and Gregory eagerly came over and happily examined and massaged Gu Ran.
Nutritionist Loina also ran over and handed Gu Ran a bottle of water specially made by her.
At the Southampton Club, Gu Ran has enemies everywhere and has to be careful when drinking and eating, but his small team can be trusted.
Gu Ran took Luoina's drink with confidence and took a swig...
Then, he spat it out with a "wow" sound.
This drinking water smells like snake grass and patchouli mixed together!
Be on the safe side...
My invincibility is so broken!
I single-handedly challenged all the players, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated by a woman in the end...
This water...
It tastes so bad!
Luoina kept urging, "Gu, drink it obediently. This water is very good for you."
Gu Ran said bitterly: "Loina, you... are a British nutritionist, where did you get so many Chinese herbal formulas?"
Luoina smiled proudly and said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I majored in Chinese herbal medicine theory in college - otherwise, how could the club arrange for me to be a nutritionist for you, a Chinese national? I am With this, I defeated two Michelin-level male nutritionists!"
Gu Ran:......
I suddenly want to try a male nutritionist...
Loina said with longing in her eyes: "Gu, you are my experimental specimen. Your success means my success. If I succeed, I can become the chief nutritionist of Southampton Club. Wait for me After becoming the chief, I will definitely promote the recipe customized for you to the entire team! In this way, it will be difficult for our Southampton club to succeed!"
Gu Ran: ...What a great plan!
As Luoina spoke, her whole body was on fire, "I also plan to promote this self-made Heteroporum odorifera perfume to the whole team! If you think it tastes good, I will write a report tomorrow. Let the coaching staff force the entire team to drink this recovery drink.”
Gu Ran immediately said: "It tastes good, it tastes so good!"
Luoina said excitedly: "Wow, I knew it! Gu, then drink it quickly!"
Gu Ran held his head and said, "I...take it easy first..."
What a sin!
This is truly sinful! ! !
After a few more minutes, other team members also completed the 10,000-meter test.
Most of the players were just qualified - except for Haldin's younger brothers, who wasted too much energy blocking Gu Ran in the early stage.
The two boys who suffered the worst were kicked and injured by Haldin. They will definitely be out of luck in tomorrow's open class.
Haldin himself fell short.
In fact, he could have reached the target, but Gu Ran feinted him at the end and made him fall to pieces. When he got up and ran again, his rhythm was completely messed up.
Haldin was going crazy with hatred...
But now he really doesn't have the energy to trouble Gu Ran.
Seeing that Coach Adkins was recording the results, Haldin gritted his teeth and dragged his exhausted body to the front of Coach Adkins.
"Hi, coach." Haldin greeted Coach Adkins with a smile.
"Yeah." Coach Adkins didn't even look up and continued to write comments in his little notebook.
Haldin said with a shy face: "Coach, are my results... qualified?"
Coach Adkins raised his eyelids and gave Haldin a knowing look, "No."
Haldin hurriedly said: "Coach, in fact, I am qualified. It's all because of that Chinese boy! That Chinese boy kicked me on purpose. Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I would have been injured! If I had been injured, coach, you wouldn't have done it." The left back is available! That kid influenced me, otherwise I would definitely be qualified."
Coach Adkins calmly finished writing the comments in his notebook. After closing the notebook, he stared at Haldin coldly and said, "First of all, that Chinese boy is your teammate. He He has a name, his name is Gu Ran."
The muscles on Haldin's face twitched slightly.
Coach Adkins paused, "Secondly, he's also a left guard."
Haldin felt his blood running cold from head to heel.
Coach Adkins paused again, "Finally, I'm not blind."
Haldin felt himself covered in frenzy, suffocating and unable to breathe. Now he just wanted to hurry up and escape from here.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"No, no more coach."
Haldin ran away in disbelief.
Coach Adkins continued to open his little notebook and continued to write evaluations of the players in the notebook.
Other players sat slumped on the turf, breathing heavily and replenishing electrolyte water, energy snacks, and five times Red Bull snuff.
"Mom, that Chinese boy is so hateful!"
"How dare he follow and humiliate us!"
"He actually said that even if he dug out his coach's grandma, she could run faster than me!"
"This hatred is irreconcilable... When I recover, I have to deal with him severely!"
"Yes! Let's wait and come together!"
"Boss Davis, why don't you speak?"
"Boss Davis must be thinking of a plan!"
Davis took the electrolyte drink handed over by the team member, took a few big sips, and then let out a long sigh of relief, "I was thinking... without that kid Gu Ran's final stimulation, our 10,000-meter running test today, I’m afraid they will all be unqualified…”
The players next to him were all stunned.
Yes, they just took a vacation, their bodies were not in competitive condition at all, and they vomited a lot before training started in the afternoon. In the end, most of them passed the test... This is simply a miracle!
In other words, if Gu Ran hadn't stimulated them one by one during the last lap, they might not have passed the test this time.
The players' emotions suddenly became complicated.
"But...this kid probably didn't do it to make us qualified, right?"
"He should be just to mock us, right?"
"Why do I suddenly feel that this kid... is quite interesting?"
"Then...boss, should we still deal with him?"
"Of course," Davis nodded with a serious expression, "He dares to challenge all of us, so of course we can't just let it go. But... there will be a friendly match against Liverpool in a few days, and we must put the pressure on him Put aside the grudges and seize the time to train - that's Liverpool, brothers! Only by beating Liverpool to death can the scouts of Liverpool and other wealthy players take it seriously! This may very well be the turning point in your career!"
The players present immediately became excited!
"The boss is right!"
"It's more important to do Liverpool!"
"We must perform well in friendly matches. Maybe we can increase the contract price and even be spotted by wealthy scouts!"
"Okay, let's let that kid go for now and wait until we finish playing with Liverpool!"
"Yeah! I agree!"
"But..." Luke Xiao, who was only 16 years old, asked cautiously: "What if that kid takes the initiative to bully us?"
The players present suddenly had black lines all over their heads.
This is...what a problem.
At this time, Assistant Coach Andy blew his whistle and called everyone to gather.
The players dragged their tired bodies and stood in two lines.
Gu Ran was still in high spirits.
Gregory's massage helped him regain some physical energy, coupled with nutritionist Loina's "magic water"...
Not to mention, although Roina's special recovery drink tastes very unpleasant, you can really feel the effect of restoring your strength after drinking it.
If this drink is promoted by the whole team...
Ha ha ha ha!
Gu Ran almost laughed out loud.
“Now, let’s announce the results of this regression test.”
Assistant coach Andy took over the ratings from coach Adkins and announced them one by one:
"Davis, B+."
"Wharton, B-."
"Jedy, B-."
"Butterfield, B-."
"Lambert, A-."
"Lallana, A."
"Schneiderlin, A."
"Chamberlain, B-."
"Luke Shaw, B+."
"Connolly, B."
"Hardin, C..."
Haldin's face was blue and red.
A means excellent, B means qualified, and C means bad.
As the team's "only" genuine left back, veteran Haldin only got a C in three tests, which was undoubtedly a public humiliation for him.
In addition to Harding, Chamberlain, who got a B-, also looked embarrassed.
In fact, given his strength, that A- or even A+ would be no problem - if Gu Ran hadn't made his prostate plow during the elastic band sprint test.
At the end of the reading, Assistant Teacher Andy was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Gu Ran...S!"
The players immediately went crazy!
"Fake, Chinese boy S?"
"Damn it, Fuck... I've never gotten an S rating in my life!"
"Damn it, I'm so sore..."
Even Gu Ran himself was a little surprised.
His results in the three tests were indeed good, but he felt that they were probably only an A+ at best.
Unexpectedly, the poker-faced coach Adkins actually gave him an S!
There should be an element here to stimulate other players, and also an element to pave the way in advance to gain more playing time for him.
Gu Ran glanced at Coach Adkins gratefully.
Coach Adkins continued to maintain his poker face.
After the noise of the players subsided, Coach Adkins said: "Today's return day training is over. Everyone can go home and rest. Restorative training and new season tactics explanation class will continue tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, there will be a public Training session.”
"At that time, senior members of the club and their families, as well as VIP fans, organizations, and reporters from the Advance Saints newspaper will come to the training ground to watch the game."
"I hope you will behave well."
"Disband."
After Coach Adkins finished speaking, he picked up his information and walked out of the training ground without looking back.
Just as Gu Ran was about to go to Coach Jacobs for some "Real Madrid-style" extra training, Captain Davis led a large group of players to surround Gu Ran.
Gu Ran raised his chin proudly, "What do a bunch of B's want to do?"
Chamberlain yelled angrily: "What did you say!"
Captain Davis quickly stopped the impulsive Chamberlain and others, and smiled calmly at Gu Ran, "Hey, boy, let's have a temporary truce between us. We are about to play against Liverpool. As the captain, I don't want to be affected by our internal disputes. Fight foreign wars.”
Damn it?
Is this a truce?
I've just started!
Haha, as expected, there is no one who can fight.
However, in order to prepare for Liverpool, a truce is also possible.
Gu Ran shrugged, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me."
Chamberlain said angrily: "What? How dare you disagree!?"
Lallana grabbed Chamberlain, "I think he means that as long as we don't mess with him, he won't fuck us..."
Gu Ran gave Lallana a thumbs up, "There's nothing wrong with the interpretation."
Only then did Chamberlain understand. He blushed and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Humph! We are just on a temporary truce. When the game against Liverpool is over, I will be the first to fuck you!"
Looking at Chamberlain's stupid and clear eyes, Gu Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll be with you anytime."
Davis added: "But you have to save parking space No. 1 for me."
Gu Ran said firmly: "No way, first come, first served. If you have the ability, you can come earlier than me, so the parking space No. 1 will naturally be yours."
Davis frowned and said: "...I have the guts. Then, for the sake of the overall situation of the team, I will tolerate you for a few days."
The other players' faces suddenly twitched.
Captain Davis has been running the Southampton club for so many years, who has ever seen him be so tolerant?
Well, I finally saw it this time.
Southampton is really going to change...
Gu Ran said impatiently: "Do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, I'm going to train."
It’s already this time, but you still need to train?
Is this Chinese boy a devil?
All the players present were numb.
Davis said solemnly: "...No more."
The crowd automatically opened a gap for Gu Ran.
Gu Ran walked out proudly, singing in his heart how invincible it is——
Gu Ran suddenly saw the smiling Luoina.
The BGM in Gu Ran's heart was immediately silenced.
No more singing...
After the players dispersed, Gu Ran and Coach Jacob began to practice more.
Chamberlain and Luke Shaw deliberately stayed to see how crazy this crazy Chinese kid could be.
The two of them are also stars of hope, and they also have exclusive coaches, but they have never stayed for additional practice after training.
Coach Jacob brought a special brown-red solid ball, arranged obstacle cones for Gu Ran, and led Gu Ran to practice dribbling, controlling and passing the solid ball.
As soon as he touched the medicine ball, Gu Ran took a deep breath.
This thing is really stiff!
Gu Ran instantly experienced the feeling of superstar Raul being trained to vomit by Magath's medicine ball.
Gu Ran was very uncomfortable at first. He often couldn't stop the ball and couldn't control the ball well. The ligaments and muscles of his ankles and knees were also sore and swollen.
Chamberlain and Luke Shaw were laughing on the benches on the sidelines.
"Gu, do you want to take a rest?" Coach Jacob asked with the corner of his mouth raised.
Gu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's just the beginning, coach."
Coach Jacob said ecstatically: "Okay, okay!"
What coach wouldn't like a disciple who works hard like this?
After another ten minutes of frantic practice.
Coach Jacob panted and said: "Gu, take a rest!"
Gu Ran wiped the sweat from his face, his black eyes full of excitement, "It's just begun! Coach!"
Coach Jacob's mouth twitched, "...Okay, okay."
Chamberlain and Luke Shaw sitting on the sidelines could no longer laugh out loud.
Practiced frantically for another half hour.
Chamberlain and Luke Xiao slipped away with solemn expressions.
Coach Jacob was too tired to move his ankles.
Gu Ran urged: "Coach, don't stop! I still need you to cooperate with me in passing the ball!"
Coach Jacob put his hands on his knees and shook his head in despair.
At his age, he really can't keep up with young people!
The key is, this young man just ran 10,000 meters!
I really envy Gu Ran’s young body!
"Gu...that's it for today, right?"
"Coach, it's just the beginning!" Gu Ran said eagerly: "If I keep practicing like this, when will I be able to experience your Real Madrid-style training!"
Coach Jacob:…
Gu Ran said again: "Coach, why don't you take a sip of water first? I'll ask Luoina to prepare the Heteropus officinalis perfume for you -"
"No, no, no, no!" Coach Jacob was furious, almost pleading: "Gu, look it's getting dark. If you don't go back early, your girlfriend will be anxious."
Gu Ran grinned and said: "Coach, are you testing me? Don't worry, I'm here to show you my attitude. No matter whether I have a girlfriend or not, no matter how many girlfriends I have, I just want to play football!"
Coach Jacob covered his face and said in pain: "Gu...I'll tell you the truth! I have an eighty-year-old mother at home who needs to go back and take care of..."
Maeve and Gregory also said quickly: "Yes, yes, that's it."
Luoina also couldn't wait to say: "Gu, it's time for you to have dinner!"
When it came to dinner, personal affairs assistant Rick's face instantly turned pale.
Gu Ran looked at the time and said helplessly: "I'll practice for a while, just for a while."
Coach Jacob was about to cry, "Gu...that's it. Training doesn't happen every day or two. Rest after training is also very necessary."
Gu Ran said unfinished: "Well, it seems like I won't be able to experience Real Madrid-style training today, so I'll try my best tomorrow."
Coach Jacob:…
Gu Ran said again: "By the way, coach, can you give me this medicine ball? I can take time to practice when I get home."
Coach Jacob's lips trembled, "Take it, take it, you're welcome!"
"Thank you, coach! Coach, you are such a nice person! I really don't understand why they all say you are so strict."
Gu Ran happily put the medicine ball into his sports backpack.
Coach Jacob: You are the real pervert! ! !
After training, Gu Ran went to the gym's locker room to take a shower and change clothes.
As soon as I took off my clothes, the phone in my sports bag rang.
Gu Ran picked it up and saw that it was a call from an unknown number.
Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Hello, is this Mr. Gu Ran?"
A soft and timid female voice came from the other side of the phone.
This voice sounds familiar...
who is it?
Gu Ran quickly said: "Yes, it's me, are you?"
The girl on the other side of the phone immediately said: "Hello, Mr. Gu Ran, I am Emilia's friend..."
