While Gu Ran was complaining crazily in his mind, he quickly signed all the jerseys brought by the Big Three.
"great!"
"Thank you! Gu!"
"Then keep busy, we'll wait for you in the stands at the training ground!"
"I look forward to your great performance in today's public training!"
"Come on! Come on! We are all optimistic about you!"
The Big Three happily left with signed jerseys.
The other players were all speechless with envy.
Even Haldin closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say another word.
The three giants of the club have come to ask for Gu Ran's autographed jersey. I really can't feel any other emotions besides envy and jealousy.
Even if this is an internal sales volume, the value of this sales far exceeds their accumulated jersey sales.
Gu Ran didn't think it was awesome at all, but only felt a little bored.
Gu Ran continued to sign frantically, and was about to sign 500 sets.
It's almost time for open class training. The players pack their things, change their jerseys, and prepare to go to the training ground.
At this time, there was another commotion at the door of the lounge.
Gu Ran's hand holding the signature pen couldn't help but tremble - wasn't it? Again? ? ?
Executive Director Andre Kuwin walked in with a smile - he didn't bring an assistant, and he didn't have a jersey in his hand.
Gu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, he met a normal senior executive who didn't need to sign a jersey!
Andre Kuvin, the executive director, is equivalent to chairman Katarina Liebherr’s mouthpiece and spokesperson in the club, so his status is naturally quite high.
The other players couldn't curry favor even if they wanted to.
Andre Kuwen also took three steps and two steps at a time, and walked straight to Gu Ran, "Hi, Gu Ran, how are you? Wow, you signed so many jerseys! Thank you for your hard work!"
Gu Ran also smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Kuwen."
Andre Kuvin said: "I see that you are quite busy, so I will make a long story short. I was sent by Miss Katarina to greet you. Miss Katarina is still in Germany and cannot come to the training ground to watch. She asked me to send her blessings to you for your open training class, hoping that you will perform perfectly in the open class."
All the players present were sore!
The club's big financier, the wealthy woman, even sent someone to send her blessings!
Gu Ran, can you... just be a human being?
Gu Ran scrawled his signature and said with a faint smile: "Thank you, Miss Katarina."
As a reborn person, Gu Ran knew that this Miss Katarina rarely managed the Southampton Club in person. Katarina did not love football as much as her father did, and she would also manage the Southampton Club in the future. Make high-end products and sell them to Chinese buyers...
Therefore, it is absolutely normal for Katarina not to come to the open class.
However, Katarina was so polite and even sent the executive director to send her blessings, which surprised Gu Ran.
There’s no way Katarina, a person who doesn’t like football, wants the jersey, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
She doesn't like watching football!
Just when Gu Ran thought this, he heard Andre Kuwen laugh and say: "Miss Catalina hopes that you can take the time to give her some signed jerseys."
Gu Ran:......
All players:…
Tired, destroy it!
Gu Ran sighed helplessly and said resignedly: "Okay, since Miss Katarina wants it, then bring it over and let me sign it. I will sign it now."
People are in the world, even if they cheat, there will always be times when they can't help themselves!
Who calls someone a big money maker or a rich woman?
The other high-level officials have signed, so the wealthy woman must be given even more face.
Besides, I'm not really a star now. If someone is after me for autographs, that's a big deal, so I really can't refuse these kindnesses.
Gu Ran was ready to sign, but he only saw Andre Kuvin standing there indifferently.
Gu Ran was stunned, "You didn't bring your jersey? You still want me to sign it with my own jersey?"
Hey, hey, is this too much?
But Andre Kuwen smiled and said: "No, no, Gu, you misunderstood. I wanted to wait until you are done with your work before signing."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. It's okay if I give Miss Katarina a fuck."
I have stepped in with so many high-level officials, so it really doesn’t matter if I have one more!
Andre Kuvin laughed: "There are a lot of jerseys, and... they're not here for me."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "How many can there be?"
You, Katarina, are just a rich woman. How can you wear two things at the same time?
Even if your whole family is included, if there are twenty or thirty items, I can complete the two-letter signature of GR in a matter of minutes!
Just listen to Andre Kuwen laugh and say: "Just 500 pieces."
Gu Ran:......
What?
500 pieces?
Katarina, are you here to buy some goods from me?
What do you want so much for? Give employees benefits! ?
I asked why the commercial director said 1,000 pieces was not enough! It turns out that you, Katarina, took away half of it!
I worked so hard to sign 500 items, but now I have 1,000 items left to sign!
Is it so difficult to be a professional player?
——Gu Ran was going crazy.
Andre Kuwen said: "Of those 500 jerseys, 100 have been worn by the outstanding female cheerleaders of [Gu Ran Global Cheer Club], and they have also come to watch your open class. You will go there in a while You can see them at the training ground. You just need to sign them on the spot. I will have the remaining 400 pieces delivered to your car. You can take them home and sign them slowly. Just give them to me before the game against Liverpool. .”
Damn it? !
Gu Ran's eyes suddenly widened!
My global support club! ?
That female fan organization of mine has now been upgraded to a global support club?
etc!
Why did Katarina send my benefits to those pretty girls on the cheerleading team?
Could it be that……
My biggest fan is Katarina?
Damn it!
I have never had any contact with Katarina...
Gu Ran was immediately stunned!
The players next to him were so sour that they could hardly eat anymore!
The big boss of the club and the big financier, the rich woman, is also the head of her fans. This is so enviable!
That's it, let alone asking them to sign 500 jerseys, even if it's a personal commitment, they are willing!
Of course, Gu Ran is a serious person!
Gu Ran has never thought of sleeping with his boss!
Gu Ran really just wants to play football!
Now, playing football is not difficult, but outside of playing football, why is it so difficult!
Gu Ran couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I understand... thank Miss Katarina for me, really. Don't worry, I will definitely sign it."
Andre Kuwen nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, Gu, Miss Katarina has been paying attention to you and looks forward to your wonderful performance in the public training class."
Gu Ran smiled bitterly, "I will definitely perform well..."
"Then I won't interrupt. See you at the training ground later."
"OK."
Andre Kuwin left the lounge with satisfaction.
Gu Ran continued to sign more and more. Now he could sign one more, and soon he would be able to sign one less, saving more time for practice.
The other players changed their jerseys in envy, jealousy and hatred, left the lounge and walked to the training ground.
When Lallana passed by Gu Ran, he smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
Lambert also patted Gu Ran's shoulder in a friendly manner.
Chamberlain opened his mouth, then shook his head and walked past Gu Ran.
Luke Xiao looked at the jersey at Gu Ran's feet and seemed to want one for his collection, but he still held back.
Captain Davis came over and smiled at Gu Ran: "...Gu, today is very important, don't be late."
Damn it, Captain Davis, I still like your unruly look!
Gu Ran nodded, "Yeah, okay."
After this high-level visit, Gu Ran could clearly feel that the players' attitudes were different.
Although it was far from friendly, no one dared to look down upon Gu Ran anymore.
Only Haldin and his younger brothers were filled with jealousy, but they did not dare to say anything.
After all the other players were gone, Gu Ran had signed more than 600 jerseys.
The remaining 400+500 pieces can only be signed after the open class is over.
So, Gu Ran threw away the signature pen and hurried out of the lounge.
At this time, it's 5 minutes to 3 o'clock.
The simple stands at the No. 1 training ground were already filled with spectators.
The identities of these viewers are not ordinary.
Those who can receive invitations to the club's pre-season open class must be local prominent figures, shareholders who own Southampton Club shares, senior executives and senior relatives, club-related figures, club media, representatives of the club's registered fan organizations, etc. .
Of course, the 100 young girls from [Gu Ran Global Support Club] were also wearing brand new No. 8 jerseys and sitting in the front row of the stadium stands.
They are also the most beautiful scenery in the entire training ground.
Many big shots took out their mobile phones and took pictures of these beauties.
In previous open classes, only 1,000 spectators were invited, and there were often no seats available.
But this time, more than 3,000 spectators came to this open class for the first time, and the entire training ground was almost packed.
Not only were the stands filled with people, but the sidelines of the training ground were also filled with people.
The turf of the training ground was urgently maintained at noon. Several players' families took their children to play on the turf wearing children's jerseys with their father's numbers printed on them.
The atmosphere was very joyful.
3 o'clock sharp.
The players of Southampton's first team and reserve team, led by captain Davis, lined up and jogged into the training ground.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a peak!
After every player enters the field, they stand in the middle and wave to the audience.
Assistant coach Andy held a microphone and acted as a live DJ, introducing the players to the audience one by one.
Every time a player is introduced, there will be warm applause from the audience.
Gu Ran entered the venue at the end of the queue.
When Gu Ran stepped onto the turf of the training ground and made his appearance, the entire stands almost erupted in excitement!
In Southampton, anyone who likes football has heard of Gu Ran's name!
Although Gu Ran has not played in a professional game yet, at least half of the big guys in the stands have seen Gu Ran's wonderful performance in the finals of the National High School Competition!
They had already been conquered by Gu Ran! again and again!
So far, whenever they see Gu Ran, their bodies secrete adrenaline and happy dopamine like crazy!
There is also the other half of the audience. Although they have not watched Gu Ran's game, they learned about the young player newly signed by Southampton Club through the newspaper media.
Especially through The Sun…
Everyone wants to know how handsome the male protagonist who can spread the scandal with Sister NO and Linda is.
Now that I see him... he is really handsome!
At first, everyone did not believe the scandal in "The Sun", but after meeting Gu Ran himself, the credibility of the scandal was greatly improved!
The 100 cheering girls wearing No. 8 jerseys jumped up from their seats with excitement, raised their arms, and waved and cheered at Gu Ran desperately.
Their miniskirts were so short that they were covered by the wide jerseys, as if they were not wearing any. The visual impact of the scene was extremely strong.
The roar of cheers at the scene even covered up Andy's voice using the microphone to introduce Gu Ran.
The other players were stunned again.
They thought that the high-level officials' pursuit of Gu Ran was exaggerated, but they didn't expect that Gu Ran's influence among local fans would be even higher!
Gu Ran stood on the green field, feeling the crazy cheers of the fans, and the previous depression about signing autographs was instantly gone.
Yes, this is my battlefield!
Gu Ran raised his hand and twirled around, smiling and thanking the fans in the audience for their applause and cheers.
Among the many crazy fans, he saw Coach Carter and Evelyn's father, Sir Jonathan Adelaide.
——No need to guess, Evelin must be here today too.
I saw Coach Carter excitedly waving to Gu Ran and yelling: "Gu-hahaha! I'm here! I'm here! Give me a few sets of autographs in a while!"
Gu Ran also waved excitedly to Coach Carter - the sound in the stadium was too noisy and he couldn't hear what the coach was shouting.
After the players all appeared, Captain Davis led the team in a warm-up run.
This time, Gu Ran did not set a trap, but ran at the front of the team in a low-key manner.
Although he ranked first, he was really low-key without a ring.
The other players breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked Gu Ran for his unreasonable kindness.
If they were tricked three times or five times in an open class, the old faces of these old professional players would really be lost.
Coach Carter in the stands looked at Gu Ran, who was always running first, and his eyes were full of shadows of his handsome youth, "It's only been a few days, Gu's progress is really great, among so many professional players. In this time, I can still finish first! Haha! You are truly worthy of being the disciple I taught! I am so happy!"
Evelyn's father, Sir Jonathan Adelaide, also proudly said to the audience around him: "I know Gu Na very well! We have eaten together and drank tonic wine! My daughter is also his royal reporter. !He even rode my daughter’s horse!”
After the 15-minute warm-up run, it’s time to do dynamic stretching.
The players were divided into two groups and passed through the obstacle cones in order to perform dynamic stretching.
When it was Gu Ran's turn, the whole place was filled with the crazy screams of the beautiful cheerleading girls.
Although Southampton has well-known stars such as Lallana, Lambert, Schneiderlin, and Connolly, the focus of the game is entirely on Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was highly focused, and his dynamic stretching movements were completely standard.
After 15 minutes of dynamic stretching for the whole team, it was time to practice "grab the circle without the ball falling to the ground".
This is actually a warm-up game, not very intense.
The focus of the open class just returned from vacation is not on training, but on showing the team's positive spirit to the VIP audience.
The team is divided into two large groups. Each group has two players responsible for interception. The other players pass the ball to each other in a circle. The ball cannot be allowed to land. Whoever's pass is intercepted or the ball lands must stand in the circle. Responsible for interception.
The atmosphere on the court also became lively in this game environment.
Assistant coach Andy assigned Gu Ran to the second group, avoiding veterans such as Haldin.
The players in the second group are generally young, energetic and competitive.
The players in the first group are basically veterans, good at using games and funny ways to make the audience laugh.
So, the first group had a lot of fun, and the second group fucked very intensely.
Gu Ran had no chance to catch and pass the ball in the circle.
But Gu Ran was not in a hurry and waited patiently for the opportunity.
Soon, a reserve player kicked the ball, and the football suddenly flew towards the gap between Gu Ran and Luke Xiao.
Luke Xiao felt that the ball could not be saved at all, so he simply chose to duck and distance himself.
As long as he can get out of the way faster than Gu Ran, then when the bad ball hits the ground, it will be regarded as Gu Ran not catching it.
Gu Ran did not dodge, but faced the "bad ball" directly.
Seeing that the ball was about to hit the ground, Gu Ran fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle. He used his toes to make a rainbow-like arc out of the almost impossible ball.
"Wow!"
This saving skill shocked everyone!
Loud whistles and thunderous applause erupted from the stands.
The players in the same group were also shocked and dumbfounded.
Luke Xiao was also full of shock and admiration.
Gu Ran, who was lying on the ground, lifted himself up easily and stood up gracefully.
The fans in the stands are all going crazy!
With just this action, their efforts this time were not in vain!
There were two noble-looking women in their forties or fifties in the stands chatting excitedly:
"..."
In the 20-minute round-robin game, Gu Ran only got one chance to touch the ball, but just this one time, he was already very, very amazing.
It can be seen that the other players are still very repulsive towards Gu Ran and do not pass the ball to Gu Ran.
But Gu Ran didn't care and just continued to train patiently.
After the hoop game, it’s ball-bumping training.
Normally, professional teams do not have this kind of training. These are subjects only trained by youth teams.
Just because it is an open class, this entertaining project was added.
In addition to the first team and reserve team, the U10 youth team of Southampton Club also participated in the ball training.
Gu Ran himself has great advantages in this project, and Gu Ran also has the skill of playing ball for free.
As soon as Gu Ran came up, he caught the ball with a high-altitude kick, which attracted applause from the whole room.
The other players' basic skills of flipping the ball are not bad, but they generally give up when they hit more than 100 flips.
Those U10 teenagers are very serious.
Gu Ran was more serious than them.
Gu Ran not only does a lot of kicks, but also has many tricks, such as various forward kicks, behind the back kicks, and shoulder kicks. They are not only consistent, but also very durable and beautiful.
After the performance, Coach Adkins announced that the players had 10 minutes to rest and free activities.
At this time, the fans came off the field to experience the ball, and some old players also stayed on the field to interact with the fans.
Commercial Director Philip Butz also took the opportunity to hold a microphone on the court and start selling 600 jerseys signed by Gu Ran.
Fans who saw Gu Ran's wonderful performance in the training class immediately bought it enthusiastically.
The price of 39.9 pounds is nothing for these wealthy big shots.
Some people bought more than a dozen items in one go.
The two ladies who were stuck in phlegm even bought fifty pieces at once.
The sales scene was extremely popular, and almost everyone was rushing to buy it.
Coach Carter sat firmly in his seat and said with a sense of superiority: "Haha, you go ahead and grab them. Anyway, Gu Ran will definitely give me a dozen or twenty pieces for free."
Sir Jonathan Adelaide on the other side also smiled proudly and said: "With the relationship between my daughter and Gu Ran, is it not a matter of opening her mouth and moving her tongue to ask for more than a dozen jerseys from him?"
At this time, Gu Ran chose to return to the sidelines to rest so as not to be caught by the enthusiastic fans signing autographs and taking photos.
It's not that I don't love my fans, it's just that there were too many signatures today.
"Gu, you performed very well!"
The exclusive coach Jacob mastered the shot with Gu Ran with satisfaction.
"Thank you Coach Jacob."
The exclusive team doctor Mai Fu said: "Gu, sit down, we will check and massage you."
"OK……"
In fact, this amount of exercise does not require examination and massage at all. However, in front of so many fans, Maeve and Gregory also want to show off, don't they?
Gu Ran could only sit down obediently and let Mai Fu check and Gregory massage.
"Gregory, please massage my right arm, wrist, and fingers more."
This was also the first time Gu Ran made a request.
Gregory said quickly: "Okay, no problem."
Nutritionist Luoina came over with the enhanced version of the devil's snack, "Gu, it's time for the snack, be good."
Gu Ran's whole body was numb.
He would rather return to the court and interact with the fans...
Even interacting with those two ladies who bought fifty jerseys for me is acceptable...
Gu Ran thought so and looked back at the two ladies.
The two ladies immediately responded coquettishly.
Those eyes can attract dirt!
Gu Ran quickly looked away, picked up the enhanced version of the devil's meal without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp!
He had just finished drinking, and before he could take a breath, he saw Evelin, a female reporter from the Advance Saints newspaper, walking towards him in a charming way, twisting her tight waist.
It had only been two days since they last saw each other, and Evelin was more nourished than before.
Her walking gait was a bit lazy and a bit coquettish, as if she hadn't fully recovered from the last battle in the grass.
…
I can’t afford to spend ten thousand a day these days.
My body can still hold up.
Mainly because I have a lot more things to do recently. I have to go back to my hometown to go through various procedures, sort out the bits and pieces from my hometown and move them to my new home. I also have to take my family to play and entertain friends, so I can only update once recently.
Once you have completely settled down, you will be able to recover.
thanks for your support!
