"Wow!"
When they heard that Gu Ran was starting the game, the players in the tactics classroom cheered.
Only Haldin's face was ashen, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
Being able to get a starting position in just one game is extremely rare among most clubs.
Even if the starting game is a friendly match, it can be seen that the club and coaching staff prefer Gu Ran.
Haldin didn't expect that he would be replaced as the main force by Gu Ran, but he definitely didn't expect that this replacement would come so quickly.
Speaking of which, it is reasonable for Gu Ran to start.
If he can create an Anfield miracle, with one pass and two shots against Gerrard and Kuyt, and can drive the entire Southampton team to a perfect draw, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the head coach giving him a starting spot.
However, if Gu Ran can still perform to the same level as the first game in the second friendly match and win the best of the game again, then his position as Haldin's main force will really be lost.
I have to think of a tough move...
Haldin secretly clenched his fists, and the thoughts of revenge in his mind became stronger and stronger.
Gu Ran looked calm.
Whether he is a starter or a substitute, he is ready.
As a growing future star, the process of growth is enjoyment.
Since I can start this time, I will try my best to play the whole game.
Gu Ran's goal is also very clear - although the previous game against Liverpool was his debut, it was not a full game debut, so tomorrow's game against Torquay United will be a full game.
The confrontation with Torquay United should not be as strong as the confrontation with Liverpool. The skill consumption and physical energy consumption will not be exhausted in half an hour. However, if you want to play the whole game in a professional team, you still have to improve. Some physical attributes.
Gu Ran calmly allocated 2 of the 9 talent points to physical attributes one step ahead of time.
The physical attribute also immediately increased from 80 points to 82 points.
In this way, even if the confrontation is high, you can almost complete the game with a high level of performance.
And as long as you perform better, you will have more chances to get hidden rewards after the game.
In addition to Gu Ran, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Connolly, Lambert and other main players have also entered the starting list.
Obviously, Coach Adkins wants to have a clean victory at St. Mary's home court to boost the fans' confidence in the team in the new season.
After Coach Adkins announced the starting lineup, he said in a deep voice: "Under normal circumstances, you can go directly to St. Mary's Stadium in the morning for training, but this is not a league game, just a friendly match, and it is the first game of the new season. For a home game, St. Mary's Stadium will have a lot of entertainment programs for the opening of the new season to be rehearsed, and we need to conduct closed high-pressure tactics drills in the morning, so this time we will not go directly to St. Mary's Stadium to gather. , we will go to St. Mary's Stadium at 1:30 in the afternoon, and everyone will train at the Staplewood training ground on time in the morning."
"Yes! Coach!" the players responded with high morale.
"Okay, everyone should go back and have a good rest tonight. No drinking, no clubbing, no lovemaking - disband."
After Coach Adkins finished speaking, he packed up his materials, turned around and left the tactics classroom.
As soon as Coach Adkins left, Rick, who was waiting at the door of the classroom, burst in like a storm.
"Hi, Gu——"
Gu Ran was about to get up and go to the exclusive coach Jacob for additional training, "What's the matter? Rick?"
Rick spoke very quickly: "Quick, you have to go shoot a print advertisement."
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, "What? Now?"
I did mention that I would shoot a print advertisement before, but now I have just announced the shooting at short notice. Isn’t this too nonsense?
"Whoa!"
Luke Xiao, a young fan, came over excitedly, "Gu, you've only been here a few days, you've only played one friendly match, and you're already accepting commercials! You are indeed my idol!"
Lallana said with envy: "Although it's just a print advertisement, we old players have been playing for several years and haven't even gotten a chance to get a print advertisement!"
Lambert also smiled and said: "Gu, you are already a well-known star, and your commercial value has begun to show."
"Are there any female models?" Chamberlain asked with concern: "Who is the female model?"
Rick said: "Yes, the female model is Abigail Clancy - the girlfriend of our Southampton meritorious player Crouch."
"Wow! That girl Abi is so sexy."
"Yes, I know her. She was originally a second-rate model, but she spent many years fishing for girls in bars, and finally caught the tall guy Crouch. Then Abby used Crouch to rise to the top and became the wife of the England national team. As a member of the group, she became a top European female model."
"This woman is stepping on two boats."
"So is Crouch."
"This woman loves to stir up scandals. She will take advantage of anyone who is famous."
"But her figure is really amazing, and her kung fu must be pretty good too."
"Hehe, that's for sure! Otherwise, how could Crouch still be reluctant to let go of her when the whole world knows that she is a cuckold?"
"Gu, you really copied it this time."
"With your handsomeness, Abi will definitely hook up with you after the filming is over."
"Hehehe, Gu, maybe your relationship with Crouch will become relatives."
Other teammates around him also congratulated Gu Ran.
Haldin sneered, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
Gu Ranze was a big boy and couldn't laugh at all.
Damn it...
I'm here to play football, not to be related to Crouch.
Besides, what kind of relatives are these? Do you foreigners even consider that kind of relationship to be relatives?
What a bunch of damaged goods!
Gu Ran frowned immediately, "Don't talk nonsense, everyone. Crouch is also a famous figure in our Southampton. According to our Eastern saying, Abby Clancy is our sister-in-law, and I am a serious person. We just It’s just a print advertisement, and we’ll leave after the shoot, so there won’t be too many entanglements. What’s more, the game is tomorrow, and I have to focus on the game.”
Rick quickly said: "Gu, don't explain so much. We must hurry up. Abby Clancy has arrived at the Umbro advertising studio in Southampton. We must rush within an hour. Get over here or she’s gone.”
Gu Ran immediately said nonchalantly: "Then since she is so busy, let her be busy and wait until everyone has time for each other before filming."
Originally!
I didn’t make an appointment in advance before the shooting. Now I can shoot whenever I want. You, Abby Clancy, have time, but I am also a big star. Why should you shoot whenever you want? When will you shoot, without regard to my time at all?
So what if you are sister-in-law, Abi!
Rick said with a helpless face: "Gu, I know this is unfair, but, how can I put it, Abby Clancy is now a first-line model in Europe, with a very high status, and the filming party must be in a hurry Abi’s time will be determined. If we refuse to show up, it will be regarded as our breach of contract. Although the advertising fee is not high, the liquidated damages are very high."
Oh, how high it can be!
Are you afraid that I can't afford it?
Gu Ran asked coldly: "How much is the liquidated damages?"
Rick said: "Five million pounds."
Gu Ran was stunned, "Rick, are you kidding me? Aren't I a very low-ranking person? Why do I still have to pay so much liquidated damages?"
Gu Ran thought that the maximum compensation would be 100,000 to 80,000 yuan.
One hundred and eighty thousand is definitely affordable, but five million pounds is just...
Rick shrugged helplessly, "If you breach the contract, it will be considered a breach of the entire contract, so you have to pay Abby Clancy's share of the liquidated damages."
Damn it...
This is so cheating!
It seems like we really need to hurry up and find a reliable agent! Otherwise, you will encounter more pitfalls in the future!
——Seeing Gu Ran frowning and not speaking for a long time, Rick hurriedly said: "Gu, Umbro attaches great importance to this shooting. They also plan to put this print advertisement in your Chinese market. This is very important to you." Your popularity in China will also be greatly improved."
Gu Ran immediately cleared his throat, "Of course I can't break the contract. This is not a matter of money or fame. The main thing is that I am an honest person."
Rick breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Gu, let's set off quickly."
"All right."
People in rivers and lakes, even in foreign rivers and lakes, have no choice but to do what they want.
Gu Ran called Coach Jacob and canceled today's extra training program.
Coach Jacob was so pleasantly surprised that he thanked Abby Clancy 18 times in his heart.
Gu Ran drove Rick to the agreed Umbro advertising studio.
In less than half an hour, Gu Ran met Crouch's girlfriend, Abby Clancy.
Abby Clancy has long golden hair, light gray eyes, wheat-colored skin, two well-proportioned long legs, and a curvy figure. From a professional aesthetic perspective, Abby is absolutely It's a good gun mount.
She only wore a black sports vest on her upper body, and a sports miniskirt around her waist with slight abdominal muscles. The whole person looked sporty.
At this moment, Abby Clancy was sitting on a simple chair with her legs crossed with a cold and arrogant expression. There were two makeup artists beside her who were nervously playing with her hair.
The commercial shooting director acted as an introducer and led Gu Ran to Abby Clancy and said respectfully: "Miss Clancy, this is Southampton's most popular player right now - Mr. Gu Ran."
Gu Ran said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Hello, Miss Clancy, I hope we can go smoothly and finish the filming as soon as possible."
If you finish shooting early, you can go home and practice some more! Get ready for tomorrow's game!
Abby Clancy was originally in a very unhappy mood, but given her status, she had to wait for almost an hour, and the other party was a newbie in football.
Although she decided to shoot at this time on the spur of the moment, Abi never thought it was her fault.
In her heart, coffee position determines everything.
To her, the name Gu Ran was just a little-known newcomer. Umbro arranged for a newcomer to shoot a print advertisement with a top European model like her. This in itself was an imbalance.
Abi was about to sneer and make things difficult for Gu Ran, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Ran's cool, steady, heroic and handsome face.
Gu Ran's body looks a little thin, but his whole body exudes a strong aura of male hormones from the inside out.
This is also the aura that professional players have, and Gu Ran's aura is obviously more attractive.
Abby's heart suddenly trembled.
This is the sense of surprise that a cheetah feels when it suddenly sees a plump prey after being hungry for three days.
It is also a sense of surprise for a gourmet to see delicious food that he has never eaten before.
As a prostitute who succeeded in attracting men from bars, Abi is not just beautiful, she also has a very accurate eye for men.
Abi could tell how powerful Gu Ran was with just one glance!
Although Abi had never seen Gu Ran play football, Abi could instantly conclude that this handsome boy from the East had a bright future and was worth catching!
The cold contempt and anger on Abi's face instantly turned into a warm spring breeze, with hooks in his eyes.
Abi swallowed subconsciously, and then gave Gu Ran a gentle smile, "Wow~ Hello, Mr. Gu Ran. I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have been looking forward to cooperating with you in commercials. Wow, you are still wearing the Southampton jersey. You must have rushed over just after training, right? Thank you for your hard work! This is all due to the poor arrangement of the advertising company. I was just giving advice to the director, and I said you arranged it this way. As a professional model, I don’t have much time, but Mr. Gu Ran is a football star and he still needs to train, how can you do this?"
Advertising Director:…
Makeup artist:…
Gu Ran's scalp felt slightly numb as he listened to Abi's cooing voice.
Strong green tea flavor!
Forget it, never mind her! Anyway, I’m going to do it after filming the commercial!
Gu Ran calmed down and said with a smile: "Thank you for saying that, Miss Clancy, but since we are all here, let's start as soon as possible."
Abi smiled softly, "Mr. Gu Ran is so easy to talk to! It's really rare to see such a young, promising and gentlemanly boy like you nowadays."
As he spoke, Abi also made flirtatious glances.
Gu Ran felt a little restless in his young body.
But fortunately, Gu Ran is really a serious person and doesn't like drinking his sister-in-law's green tea.
Gu Ran said seriously: "Miss Clancy thanks you, let's get started."
Abi suddenly chuckled, and her waist trembled with laughter, "Gu - can I call you that? Because it seems friendly. Of course, you don't need to call me Miss Clancy. It's more of a distinction. Just call me. Abby is fine.”
"Okay..." Gu Ran suppressed the numbness in his heart.
Let's talk about it, this green tea lady's skills are really high, and her every move conveys a sultry energy that makes men's hearts itch.
If Gu Ran hadn't been a reborn person with rich experience, no boy of seventeen or eighteen would have been able to withstand Abi's seductive smile.
Alas, after becoming a star, you are faced with temptations everywhere.
I saw Abi's gray eyes becoming more and more dazzling, "Gu, this is your first time... shooting an advertisement, right?"
Gu Ran could only nod and admit, "Yes, this is my first time filming an advertisement."
Abi was obviously flirting, but Gu Ran just didn't fall into Abi's trap.
Abi chuckled and said, "That's no wonder. Before we shoot the commercial, we need to put on makeup first - come on, let's put makeup on Mr. Gu Ran. Just let Mr. Gu Ran sit next to me."
The makeup artist and advertising director next to him were all amazed, and quickly moved the makeup chair for Gu Ran according to Abi's request.
You know, since Abi became a first-class model in Europe, she has never taken a serious look at the little stars who are lower than herself, and even suppressed them everywhere, for fear that her own limelight would be robbed.
But now, Abi is uncharacteristically acting like a warm-hearted big sister.
Gu Ran also laughed secretly in his heart: This woman is really good at acting. It would be a pity not to go to Hollywood to develop her career.
Forget it, let's cooperate.
It was not to become British relatives with Crouch, but just to finish the filming as soon as possible and get out as soon as possible.
Gu Ran cleared his throat, then smiled naively at Abi, "Thank you Abi, I don't understand anything, so please... take care of me more."
Abi suddenly became very excited, as if she had seen a big fish about to take the bait.
"Ah ha, no problem, I'll take care of it. I'm very experienced. When it starts, you can do whatever I ask you to do, and you can do whatever I ask you to do. .”
Damn it! This flirtation, you almost pounced on me and knocked me down, right?
Gu Ran smiled naively, "Okay, I will listen to you, Abi."
Abby's face was immediately full of satisfaction.
The makeup artist moved the makeup chair and asked Gu Ran and Abi to sit side by side.
You also need to put on makeup...
I was reborn, am I really playing football?
While Gu Ran was doubting his life, he sat on the makeup chair and let the makeup artist work on his face and head.
"Mr. Gu Ran, we need to give you a more sporty hairstyle, so we need to cut off about two-thirds of your hair and give you a mohawk like David Beckham."
#*￥%￥#!
Gu Ran jumped down from the makeup chair, "No, no!"
Abi chuckled and came to Gu Ran's rescue: "What kind of aesthetics do you makeup artists have? Mohawk hairstyles have long been out of fashion!"
Naturally, the makeup artist did not dare to disobey Abi, so he could only smile and say in a good-natured way: "Then, trim your hair a little shorter and comb it up. This will not only make you look energetic, but also give you a sense of movement."
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."
It’s really not easy to kick a ball!
Fortunately, Green Tea Sister-in-law is here this time, otherwise it would be difficult to solve the problem with my current status.
Gu Ran smiled naively at Abi.
Abi raised her eyebrows at Gu Ran, and gave him all kinds of charm with just one look.
Gu Ran quickly averted his gaze to prevent his young body from having unwanted thoughts.
After Gu Ran finished trimming his hair and putting on makeup, everyone in the dressing room couldn't help but be stunned.
Gu Ran was already so handsome that he was lawless.
As soon as she fixes her hair or puts on makeup, male hormones are already over the top.
Abi was stunned. In just a few seconds, Abi swallowed an unknown amount of saliva.
Gu Ran himself took a deep breath, "...can we take the photo now?"
The makeup artist hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu Ran, because the first set of shots needs to shoot you with your upper body bare, so you need to take off your shirt so that I can add some light and shadow to your muscles, so that you will look more beautiful in the photo." You have muscles.”
Gu Ran picked up the jersey angrily, revealing his waistcoat line as strong as Bruce Lee, "Are these muscles you are talking about?"
Suddenly, the entire dressing room was suffocated.
Abby's eyes were wide open!
