As soon as Coach Adkins left, the players cheered happily:
"Oh oh oh oh! I can finally rest for two days!"
“From the time I returned to training in the new season to now, I’m really exhausted!”
"Let's go! Let's go to the bar! We're going to have a lot of fun tonight and we won't come back until we get drunk!"
"Oh! Let's go to the bar!"
"Gu, are you really not going with us?"
"Yes, Gu! You know, today is your first professional competition, which is equivalent to losing your virginity. You have to celebrate it!"
"Gu, I know you are a very bold bar girl, I will share it with you tonight!"
Damn it...
Sharing is such a good word!
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I really have no interest in clubbing. You can go and have fun on your own."
Vice-captain Walton patted Gu Ran on the shoulder, "Gu, you are really too conservative. I'm afraid you don't know the joy of being a star. You probably don't understand yet. With your current reputation, I dare say that you As long as you stop in the bar, the girls will throw themselves at you like crazy, and you won’t even need to move to have fun all night long!”
Lallana stood up and said: "Ahem, Wharton, Gu is still young, you can't lead him astray."
Gu Ran thought to himself: You are the only ones who still want to lead me astray? It’s good if I don’t lead you astray.
Besides, how could it be more enjoyable to go to a bar and go home to cultivate a relationship with an Omei and have some talent for free?
Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Everyone, go ahead and leave me alone."
"Gu! You are so boring!"
"You don't know how cool the bar is!"
The teammates all looked like they hated iron.
Chamberlain became very smart at this moment, "Forget it, if Gu doesn't want to go, let's not force him."
Schneiderlin smiled and said, "I'm talking about Chamberlain, are you worried that if Gu Ran goes away, you won't be able to pick up girls?"
Chamberlain quickly blushed and said: "Where! No! Absolutely not!"
Captain Davis also saw that Gu Ran was not being polite, but really had no interest in bars or picking up girls, so he waved his hand, "Okay, okay, if Gu doesn't want to go, don't force him. Gu, if you If you change your mind, come to us at the Orange Bar anytime."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, Captain."
Vice-captain Wharton clapped their hands with Gu Ran, "Goodbye then, let's go have some fun!"
"goodbye!"
Gu Ran smiled and high-fived and hugged his teammates goodbye.
Although they are not close to being brothers, after playing at Liverpool, they can finally get along in terms of face.
Except, of course, Haldin.
When Haldin walked past Gu Ran, he was obviously resentful.
The more amazing Gu Ran's performance at the left back position is, the less he has the ability to challenge.
Gu Ran didn't get used to Haldin's problem and didn't even look at him.
After all the players were gone, personal assistant Rick hurried in with a pile of fax documents that had just been printed out.
"Gu, I'm sorry to interrupt you for a few more minutes. There are a few things you need to make a decision on."
"No problem, Rick, just say it."
Rick took out the first fax document and said very quickly: "First of all, Meridian South Coast, the largest local TV station in Southampton, wants to invite you to participate in their talk show. They can provide you with 20,000 The appearance fee is pounds sterling, and well-known domestic film and television entertainment stars will be invited to participate in the show."
Damn it...
It’s just a professional game, now you’re about to enter the entertainment industry?
Is it too fast?
This is definitely inappropriate.
He has just taken the first step in his career and is busy going to Vanity Fair to make money. This will be annoying to fans who really like football.
What's more, this won't make any money. At most, it will just increase the topic and gain fame.
You're also wasting your training time.
Gu Ran then smiled faintly and said, "Not interested."
Rick said: "Gu, this talk show is still very popular. Although the recording fee is not high, it is really a good opportunity to quickly increase your popularity. You should consider it."
Gu Ran said: "I have thought about it, and the answer is that I am not interested. I have just started now and don't want to waste my precious time on meaningless things."
Rick gave a thumbs up and then said: "Okay, I understand. "Sky Sports" wants to conduct a simple exclusive interview with you - this time it is a top professional sports media. I don't know what you think about this interview. Are you interested?"
Sky Sports... This is one of the top football media in Europe.
It is indeed good to be noticed by Sky Sports.
However, interviews are not helpful in improving your skills.
What's more, Gu Ran wasn't used to being interviewed yet - just because he knew how to play football, it really didn't mean he would be interviewed. It would be bad if he showed his timidity.
Gu Ran shook his head, "No, Rick, just say no for me."
Rick's eyes widened in surprise, "Gu, that's Sky Sports. Don't you want more professionals to know about you?"
Gu Ran smiled and said, "I just want to play football and don't want too much attention."
Rick praised: "Gu, you are so sane in the world! God, you are only 17 years old! But you are calmer than most players! Gu, I believe more and more that you will become a world superstar. !”
Gu Ran smiled and said: "Rick, when did you start flattering me?"
Rick said with a sincere face: "Gu, what I said is from the bottom of my heart! Oh, since you didn't even accept the invitation from Sky Sports, it seems that other newspapers, TV stations and other media have invited you for interviews. I can even refuse."
Gu Ran nodded and said: "Yes, not just this time, I will not accept an exclusive interview unless there are special circumstances in the future."
Rick asked: "Then, let me refuse Miss Evelin's exclusive interview invitation for you."
Damn it!
This won't work!
Evelyn is my automatic pencil polisher!
If you really reject Evelin, you won’t be able to go home tonight! Don’t even think about stopping in the future!
Doesn't this make me a scumbag?
"No, no," Gu Ran said quickly: "You can't refuse this, accept it! Accept it!"
Rick looked like he suddenly understood, "Oh, I probably understand Gu's standards for accepting interviews."
...what standard?
Why didn’t I know that I still had standards?
Gu Ran said quickly: "Rick, don't be so smart! Evelin is a reporter for our Southampton club team newspaper. Of course I have to give her face!"
Rick smiled mischievously: "Don't worry, Gu, I understand, I understand everything."
Rick raised his eyebrows, "I understand, I understand everything!"
Gu Ran:......
Rick took out another fax document and said, "One last thing: Our sponsor, Umbro, wants to shoot a print advertisement for you. According to the existing club sponsorship agreement, you cannot refuse this advertisement. Yes, you will receive a one-time advertising fee of £50,000."
Damn it...
Gu Ran sighed quietly in his heart.
Being a star is really troublesome.
Many things will happen out of your control.
Obviously I just want to play football and compete, but things like being interviewed, invited to participate in programs, and invited to shoot commercials are just like daily life.
Of course, I don’t have enough coffee spots, so I only get 50,000 pounds in remuneration.
When you become a celebrity, various notification fees will also increase accordingly...
Becoming a football star is essentially the same as being a film and television entertainment star. They are both stars.
But if you are a star, you will have the troubles of a star.
It seems that we really need to hurry up and find a good and reliable agent.
Seeing that Gu Ran didn't respond for a long time, Rick said: "Gu, I know you only want to play football, but you still have to cooperate with the sponsor's shooting requirements. Besides, it's just a two-dimensional shooting. It can be done in an hour at most. And you don’t have to worry, there will be an experienced female model to shoot with you.”
Experienced female model?
Gu Ran became interested immediately.
Of course it's not for the female models, it's mainly for the sponsors.
Gu Ran asked: "...who is the female model?"
Rick lowered his head and glanced at the fax document, "Aha! Gu, if you bet my career on me, you will definitely like it! The female model you will collaborate with for the print advertisement is - Abby Clancy!"
Damn it...
Gu Ran almost jumped up.
Abbey Clancy? !
From the modeling world, Abbey Clancy's status is indeed high enough in the UK as a whole!
Most importantly, Abby Clancy is Crouch's fiancée!
Crouch is a legend of the Southampton club.
After Abbey Clancy and Crouch experienced the well-known cheating on each other, the two have put aside their differences, given each other forgiveness hats, and are ready to get married!
——Rick, how dare you risk your career to say that I will definitely like it?
Who do you think I am?
Cao thief?
Gu Ran couldn't help but cleared his throat angrily and said, "...When can we start shooting? I ask mainly because I don't want to delay training."
Rick chuckled, "Yes, that's right. The shooting time depends on Abby Clancy's schedule, and we will negotiate with you in advance. However, it will probably be before the next friendly match."
That’s in less than a week!
Gu Ran took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I agree."
Rick folded the information in his hand and grinned: "Okay, Gu, I will arrange the rest."
Rick said a few more words and then left in a hurry.
Abby…
As Gu Ran walked out of the tactics classroom, his mind could not help but be filled with the figure of Abby Clancy posing.
It's already very late now, and the game has just ended, so I definitely can't practice any more.
The confrontation with Liverpool was indeed too fierce. Today’s physical energy has been basically exhausted. I need to rest and adjust properly.
However, nutritious meals must still be eaten in the club’s restaurant.
Nutritionist Loina adjusted the recipe in real time and temporarily added a lot of high-calorie and high-sugar foods to help Gu Ran make up for the depleted glycogen.
After eating a nutritious dinner, Gu Ran felt that most of his physical strength and energy had been restored.
When Gu Ran drove back to the Dune Villa, it was already past 9 p.m.
As soon as she opened the door and walked in, she heard Elizabeth calling her two twin sisters:
"Ashley! Mary! Why can't you trust me?"
"No, no, no, I swear, Gu Ran is definitely not a liar!"
"Yes, I know you have checked the Southampton club's player list, and his name is not on it, but you are looking for last season's squad, and their registration list for this season has not been announced yet! So of course there is no Gu Ran's name on it! However, today I saw and experienced his passion in professional games with my own eyes! He only played for less than half an hour, one pass and two shots. Man against the whole Liverpool team!"
"Do you know the Liverpool team? It's probably on the same level as the Lakers!"
"No, no, no, I'm not crazy! Gu Ran is really a god-like figure! Not only can he play football, he can also direct performances!"
"He is super handsome and very nice to me! He also has many super enthusiastic fans!"
"Everything I said is true! Because starting from this afternoon, I am also his loyal fan!"
Damn~
I gained a little fan girl easily.
Listening to Elizabeth's words, Gu Ran felt happy.
Women, it is true that it is easy for them to fall in love with boys from the sports department who are full of male hormones.
I heard the angry roar of my eldest sister Ashley on the other end of the phone: "Liz, you have definitely been brainwashed by that man!"
Before Elizabeth could refute, the second sister Mary Kate also said coldly: "That's right, Liz, you are just too naive and too stupid. How can there be any good men in this world? All good men are pretending on purpose. ! If he treats you well, he must be trying to figure you out or something!"
Elizabeth argued emotionally: "Gu has never said that he is a good man! But I just like him! You just haven't met him. I bet that if you meet him, you will also like him!"
Ashley shouted: "Liz! How dare you talk back to us?"
Mary Kate also said angrily: "Liz, you have never been like this before!"
Elizabeth took a deep breath in her chest, "Yes, sisters, I was not like this before, but it does not mean that I will never be like this in my life! I have grown up and I have my own preferences! I know you are caring about me , but you really can’t influence me anymore!”
Ashley shouted: "Liz! Tell me your specific address! Mary and I will take a private plane to find you now!"
Mary Kate also shouted: "We need to see what kind of pretty boy can charm you like this! Even my sisters dare to contradict her!"
Elizabeth mustered up her courage and said, "I won't tell you my and Gu's addresses! Goodbye! I wish you a happy day!"
After saying that, Elizabeth hung up the phone without waiting for the two twin sisters to speak, and then lay down on the sofa.
This is the first time she has directly contradicted her two big celebrity sisters.
Elizabeth's emotions were very complicated.
There was uneasiness, guilt, sadness, and...a slight sense of relief that I had never experienced before.
Lamp~
A bright red talent point bubble was immediately generated under her feet.
