I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 198 The Hope of the Whole Village!Coach Carter's risky tactics!The retractable Gu Ran!

When the players of both sides had a halftime break, in the live broadcast room of MaxxRT, all kinds of small gifts and big rockets were frantically swiped.

MaxxRT shouted excitedly at the screen of the phone: "Wow! The veterans are so awesome! I have been following the game just now, only to see that there are so many rewards! Thank you, veterans! I know these rewards are not Those who are aimed at me are all aimed at Gu Ran! So, after the game is over, I will withdraw these rewards and hand them over to Gu Ran for you!"

As soon as this remark came out, more gifts were offered in the live broadcast room.

MaxxRT said: "Gu Ran's performance in the first half was exciting enough? But this is not Gu Ran's full strength! I believe that the game will be more intense in the second half, because the Bucks Steel Horns are very good at exerting strength in the second half— —The Bucks Steel Horn must win! Gu Ran must win! The top scorer in the national competition for British high school students must be our Chinese Gu Ran!"

"Okay, old guys! Now I'm going to download the broadcast temporarily. It's not about the traffic, but because my phone is so hot that I can't even lift my hands."

"Me and my phone take a break, see you in 15 minutes!"

After speaking, MaxxRT turned off the live broadcast, not worried about the loss of popularity.

At this time, in the front row of the grandstand——

Bernstein, chairman of the FA, grinned and said: "Congratulations, old Rice, you have discovered another talented player!"

Although only halftime has been played and the Bucks are still one point behind, Gu Ran's brilliance can no longer be concealed.

Old Rice smiled happily: "Haha! Thank you David!"

Bernstein laughed again: "Sometimes I really envy you, you can always meet such a good seed. But it's a pity that this kid is Chinese, so it must be difficult to get a labor certificate."

Old Rice naturally understood Bernstein's implication.

What's wrong with labor certification?Isn't it just a matter of a word from the five giants?
To put it bluntly, it is actually just a pull between the five giants.

To be honest, which player who can come to apply for a labor certificate is not a good seed and a good player?A club has only one quota for a year, what can't be approved?

As long as the benefits are in place, labor certification is just a formality.

When Bernstein said this, he certainly didn’t mean that the labor certification process was difficult. What he really meant was—a genius like Gu Ran, your Southampton club wants to get him, and if you don’t pay some decent benefits, how can you get him? You easily get him a labor certificate?

Old Rice smiled, "David, our Southampton club has been miserable for the past three years. We have been relegated from the Premier League to the League One. Our fans have lost a lot. Our home court has never been full in the past few years. At that time, the highest attendance rate was only 68%! We really need young and fresh players like Gu Ran, who have strong abilities and are particularly passionate and contagious. We are old friends, and you will definitely not make things difficult for me Bar?"

"Of course! Of course!" Bernstein grinned and said, "We are the best old friends. Among the old guys in the FA, I can also talk to you, because you are a smart person. How could I make it difficult for you? What's more, as the chairman of the FA, I also hope that talented players can play in the British league. This is also for the good of British football. But..."

The following is the condition.

Old Rice said quickly: "David, I know that your starting point is for the good of our British football. If you have any questions, you can just say it."

What Old Rice means is, I know what you mean, and I'm ready to be asked by you.

Bernstein said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I just think from a personal point of view that a kid like Gu Ran has the ability to go to a Premier League club. Don't you think so?"

Old Rice's heart sank.

How could this be flattering Gu Ran?This is clearly to pick the fruit!

Let you make a condition, you just want to steal the house!
Bernstein was the former chairman of the Manchester City club!He stepped down as the chairman of Manchester City because he wanted to be the chairman of the FA!

Although the old man didn't say it directly, the meaning of the old man is already obvious, that is, he wants to bring Gu Ran to Manchester City!

Old Rice smiled and said, "The Premier League? No, no, no, Gu Ran is still far behind. He didn't even come from a professional youth training camp, and his way of playing football is obviously wild. He can't go to the Premier League now. of."

Go dig Gu Ran now, isn't my labor certificate for nothing? ? ?

Bernstein laughed and said: "Of course not now. It is also necessary for him to practice in Southampton. But I think that after one and a half years of experience, it should be almost the same?"

Old Rice still shook his head, "Gu Ran still has shortcomings, I think it will take at least two years to improve."

Bernstein said with a smile: "Old Rice, you are too conservative, two years is too long, a genius needs a bigger stage, you can't bury a genius."

Old Rice sighed, "...but one year is too short."

Bernstein smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe in Gu Ran's strength."

On the surface, the two were talking about whether Gu Ran was strong enough to play in the Premier League, but in fact they were arguing about Gu Ran's future transfer.

Bernstein’s underlying meaning is: If you want me to apply for a labor certificate, then you old fox has to agree to me, reject the transfer contracts offered to Gu Ran by other clubs, and only accept the offer from Manchester City to Gu Ran after one year. Transfer contract, otherwise don't blame me for vetoing it with one vote.

And the underlying meaning of old Rice is: Fake, you old rascal!Do you want to eat my genius hopeful star for nothing if you apply for a labor certificate?Go dreaming!

Although both of them had smiles on their faces, they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Old Rice smacked his lips, and said helplessly, "Oh...David, you are right, geniuses need a bigger stage, and I accept your point of view—let's say 1 year."

Bernstein smiled in satisfaction, "I said it long ago, old Rice, you are a smart man."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

During the conversation between these two old foxes, neither of them said a word about poaching Gu Ran to go to Manchester City or giving Gu Ran the green light for a labor permit, but they both understood what the other meant.

Bernstein will vote for him at the labor certification hearing, and Old Rice will ask the club to reject other offers one year later and only accept the transfer offer from Manchester City to Gu Ran.

Of course, this kind of thing is just a verbal agreement. To be precise, it is not even an "oral" agreement. It is a potential exchange of benefits and will not be implemented in a specific written contract at all.

Old Rice agreed first.

As for one year later... Hehe, whether Bernstein can keep his FA chairman is still a matter of debate.

The important thing is to get Gu Ran's labor certificate first!The big deal is to retire again in one year, and you Manchester City will go to whomever you like.

Now, the five veterans of the FA who have one vote of veto are basically done!

After preparing the specific appeal materials, the labor certification hearing can be held next week!

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Old Rice's mouth...

Now, in the Bucks Steelhorns locker room—

"Gu, I suggest you not to play in the second half."

Southampton Club's exclusive team doctor Mai Fu said to Gu Ran in front of everyone in the locker room: "You were fouled 11 times in the first half, and 7 of them might have caused you to be injured! Especially Your crotch and calves - we have to take you to the hospital for a full physical!"

All the players on the scene tightened their faces, and the head coach Carter also subconsciously pursed his lips.

Gu Ran worked too hard in the first half. In this kind of amateur game, he really has enough reasons not to play.

But if Gu Ran really gave up the game... the Bucks and Steel Horns would be finished.

Gu Ran is "the hope of the whole village"!
Gu Ran said calmly: "Maifu, I'm fine, I can continue the game."

Maeve said eagerly: "Gu, you are responsible for your own professional future! You are responsible for our Southampton club! As your exclusive team doctor, I strongly urge you to stop this meaningless game immediately!"

Meaningless?Meaningless? !

The anger in Gu Ran's heart suddenly burst out, and his tone became tougher than ever before:

"First, I am not an official player of the Southampton club yet! My professional contract has not been activated! So at least now I am not obligated to be responsible for the Southampton club!"

"Second, this game may seem meaningless to you, but for me, for the Bucks and Steel Horns, for Southampton High School, it is definitely not meaningless! I am too scared to fight when my opponent maliciously targets fouls! I will not abandon these teammates who are fighting for honor and youth because of fear of injury!"

"Thirdly, this is not only an emotional issue, but also a player's professionalism! I don't think your Southampton club wants a refined egoist without professionalism, right?"

"it is good!"

"Gu! Well said!"

"Gu! You are our good brother for life!"

"Gu! We will work with you to bring down the missionary team!"

The other Bucks Steelhorns players are excited!

Head coach Carter also nodded heavily at Gu Ran, "Gu, I didn't misjudge you, I never misjudged you!"

"K-K..." Maeve hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't say a complete sentence.

Gregory next to him hurriedly smoothed things over, "Gu, Maeve and I are also doing it for your own good. After all, if a genius like you gets seriously injured, his future will be ruined! Your future is Southampton High School , is also owned by the Southampton club, but in the end it is your own, you really have to be cautious!"

Gu Ran's tone softened, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but please believe me, I know my body very well, and I promise you, if I really feel unwell, I will raise my hand immediately Signal, leave the scene for treatment."

Faced with Gu Ran's tough attitude, Maeve and Gregory could only nod in agreement.

"Okay then, but I still need to check you up." Maeve insisted.

"of course can."

With 71 points of physique and Tin Woodman +3, Gu Ran has no pressure.

Maeve checked it quickly, and couldn't help but gasped.

The places where Gu Ran might be injured recorded in his notebook are at most just a little red, swollen and bruised, and there is really nothing serious about it.

Maeve had nothing to say.

Gregory quickly began to give Gu Ran physical therapy to help Gu Ran get rid of the accumulation of fatty acid in his body.

Taking advantage of the rest of the players, Coach Carter began to analyze the tactics for the second half:
"Boys, you played hard in the first half, which is good, but not enough, you need to work harder in the second half."

"I said before that victory is not flowers on the hillside, which can be picked by bending over. If you want to win the Missionaries, you must work twice as hard in the second half as you did in the first half."

"We are only 1 point behind in the score. This is a good situation for us. As long as we don't make mistakes in the second half, we have a great chance to equalize and overtake."

"The problem we are facing now is that our physical advantage is not an advantage in front of the missionary team."

"I observed the missionary team's performance during the fatigue window in the first half. Not only are their physical fitness not inferior to ours, they may even be stronger than ours."

"That is to say, in the second half, we want to rely on the old method to wear down the opponent through physical advantages. This tactic is very difficult to work."

"If we want to win, there is only one way in front of us, that is, while reducing our own mistakes, break their pass and control coordination."

Coach Carter explained while drawing a tactical map on the tactical board:

"The core of the missionary team's pass control is this-McKellen."

"If you want to break their pass, you need to press high on McKellen, press McKellen continuously high before he has the ball, limit his passing of the ball, and try as much as possible. To get in and block other players passing to McKellen."

"We'll only have a chance if we take McElchlan off the ground."

"In the last 10 minutes of the first half, we did a good job. In the 45 minutes of the second half and stoppage time, we must continue this strategy, and at the same time, we must be more specific and targeted in our style of play."

"I'll talk about the specific tactics later. Let me first talk about the key points we need to pay attention to in this temporary tactic."

"Our high pressure on McKellen must be to ensure the integrity of our own formation and not reveal any gaps. Otherwise, with McKellen's personal ability, we can easily be defeated by him with his personal ability. pierced."

The Bucks Steelhorns players nodded silently.

In the first half, McKellen's personal ability is still vivid. If it weren't for Gu Ran's efforts to turn the tide, the Bucks Steel Horns would have been beaten N times.

After looking around with sharp eyes, Coach Carter said in a deep voice: "So, my temporary strategy is a very risky way to deal with it, and it's also time for us to fight them head-on with real swords and guns, and break the net to the death."

"Next, let me arrange the new tasks in detail."

"First of all, our formation in the second half changed from a 442 formation to a 352 formation, and two forwards were changed to avant-garde."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the locker room!
The Bucks and Steel Horns have practiced the 352 formation before, but not many times!
Such a change has also completely broken through Coach Carter's previous "conservative" style!
At this last moment, everyone can understand that if you continue to be conservative, you really have no chance!

The 442 formation is a 4-back formation, and the 4-back is relatively flexible, especially the two full-backs can advance forward and assist, or shrink back to their own penalty area when defending.

The biggest difference between the 352 formation and the 442 formation is that the 352 formation is a 3 central defender formation.

The 352 formation seems to have one less defender than the 442, but in fact, it has one more central defender.

In addition, the two wing backs in the 352 formation can also retreat back and act as wing backs.

The 442 formation has two central defenders, and the 352 formation has three central defenders.

The central defender generally does not participate in the organization of the offense, and can concentrate on defense most of the time, and will not be easily penetrated by the forward penetration of the full-back.

The 352 formation is on the midfield line, with 5 players, which can restrain the Missionaries' 433 formation in terms of numbers.

Especially the missionary team has two left and right wingers, and the 352 formation can rely on the left and right wingbacks to intercept and defend in advance.

For McKellen on the central axis, it is also better to carry out high-pressure press from the number of people.

During the transition between offense and defense, the cooperation between the midfielders and defenders in the 352 formation can also enable players who cannot steal the ball in the frontcourt to have enough space for backup after making mistakes, quickly forming an arc chain or triangular zone defense. The fault tolerance rate is relatively higher.

In addition, in terms of offense, when the midfield core of the 352 formation takes the ball, it will be under the protection and support of at least 4 of its own players, which is more conducive to stabilizing the control of the midfield and the rhythm of the game.

Coach Carter shrank the two forwards into avant-garde, which is tantamount to adding another insurance. At least 6 midfielders can protect their central axis core.

Of course, such a formation is a very, very, very test of the personal ability of the "central axis core".

All hope, all pressure, will fall on this central axis core.

Especially in the absence of a striker, the core of the central axis is equivalent to the striker's rear position. He needs to have the top specialties of a B2B forward: repeated expansion and contraction - can not only organize and connect in the midfield, but also launch offense and intercept defense, as well as Able to rush to the opposite penalty area, retract to his own penalty area, then rush to the opposite penalty area, and then retract to his home penalty area...

The core of the central axis is none other than Gu Ran!

Rather than saying that this is a last-ditch risky formation, it is better to say that it is a formation tailored by Coach Carter for Gu Ran!

This formation can play Gu Ran's role better than placing Gu Ran on the side with a 442 formation!

Coach Carter is by no means a whim this time, obviously he has been designing this secret tactic for a long time!
Just listen to Coach Carter's deep arrangement: "Minato, you don't need to do anything in the second half, don't worry about offense, your task is to stick to McKellen for me, use your little moves, use your garbage If necessary, you can even get a yellow card to stop him if necessary."

Minato immediately grinned and said, "Isn't this what I'm best at? Coach! Leave it to me!"

Coach Carter gave Minato a blank look, "Do you think you can defend McKellen alone? That's not enough! Girl, glider, the first task of the two of you in the frontcourt is to help defend McKellen , Cut off the connection between the other missionary players and McKellen, if necessary, you have to retreat and defend to within 30 meters of our own area."

In the first half, only one of the motherfuckers retreated, and the glider was still in front. In the second half, Coach Carter directly asked the two to retreat together.

The girl and the glider did not hesitate for a long time, and immediately responded in unison: "Yes! Coach!"

Coach Carter's control over the locker room is absolutely super.

Coach Carter said again: "Blind man, your new position is the right wingback. In the second half, your task is to defend Olin. If you have a chance, you can support the offense."

"Yes! Coach!"

"Bread, I don't need you to help defend McKellen in the second half. Your task is to move to the right and help the blind man defend Olin on the dog. At the same time, you also need to help Gu Ran clear the foul against him and protect Good Gu Ran, be Gu Ran’s scavenger——your task is very heavy, you need to run and fight in a wide range, and your attention must be highly concentrated!"

"Yes, coach!" Bread nodded heavily.

"Xi Mei, you play the left wing back, Hua Luo, you go back to the right side of the penalty area and play the center back. The task of the two of you is not to attack, but to defend and then defend!"

"Yes!"

"Finally..." Coach Carter took a deep breath, "Gu Ran, your new position is in the middle of the midfield, you play the core of the central axis!"

Whoa!
There was an excited applause in the locker room!

Gu Ran is where their confidence lies!
Gu Ran had already guessed Coach Carter's arrangement, and then nodded calmly, "Yes! Coach!"

Coach Carter said earnestly: "Gu, your task is heavier than anyone else's. I need you to kick out the threat of two people alone. I need you to confront McKellen head-on and use your ability to suppress him. I need you to be able to break through McKellen’s defense, equalize and overtake the Bucks for the Steel Horns! I need you to keep running and tearing, so that the opponent consumes more energy. I need you to stretch from the penalty area Cover all the way to the penalty area and scare the opponent, I need you to overthrow the incredible Missionary team and get Southampton the first national championship trophy!"

Coach Carter hugged Gu Ran's neck with both hands, and asked eagerly, "Gu, tell me, can you do it?"

Gu Ran's blood boiled immediately, "Coach! I can do it!"

"Okay!" Coach Carter clenched his fists and took the lead in roaring: "Stag steel horns! Bloody battle to the end!"

"Hoohoho!"

"Stag steel horns! Bloody battle to the end!"

The 15-minute intermission is over!
Players from the Bucks Anglers and the Missionaries walked out of their locker rooms at the same time and walked to the player tunnel.

The blue ribbon on the national championship trophy is waving in the wind, as if welcoming its new owner.

Gu Ran's heart surged with infinite passion!

The last half of the amateur game in football career is about to start!
