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

Chapter 222 Gu Ran's Great Benefit!The Liverpool U18 friendly match played by Alan himself!
Yuichi Kawai rushed ahead of Gu Ran and arrived at the training ground first.

But he didn't know what to do when he came so early.

He has to compare with Gu Ran everywhere, so he naturally has to wait for Gu Ran to start training before competing with Gu Ran.

When Gu Ran didn't arrive, Yuichi Kawai could only wait foolishly.

After Gu Ran arrived at the training ground leisurely, he changed into his training clothes and sneakers in a leisurely manner, and then stretched briefly to prepare for a warm-up run.

Although I have already warmed up and ran in the morning, I still have to wake up my body functions when I wake up in the afternoon.

When Kawai Yuichi saw that Gu Ran was about to warm up and run, he smiled disdainfully and started running ahead of Gu Ran.

This kind of warm-up run with little technical content, Yui Kawai is still very confident in himself.

Gu Ran!Today I will let you see the strength of the Japanese national champion players——

Kawai Yuichi held his head high, running more seriously than usual.

Honami was surprised to see Yuichi Kawai's positive changes, and couldn't help being secretly happy for Yuichi Kawai.

However, Honami's gaze is not like before, where she stays on Kawai Yuichi wholeheartedly, but looks at Gu Ran from time to time.

Gu Ran was not in a hurry, but patiently finished a whole set of stretching exercises before starting.

At this time, Yuichi Kawai had already run more than half a circle.

Yuichi Kawai kept turning his head to look at Gu Ran, his eyes full of disdain.

Gu Ran was not affected by Kawai Yuichi's eyes at all, and steadily increased his speed, and the frequency of his legs was obviously accelerated.

Regardless of the distance, just looking at the comparison of the stride length and frequency of the two people's legs alternately, Gu Ran is much faster than Yuichi Kawai.

Honami outside the arena suddenly became short of breath.

She knew that this was not Gu Ran's fastest frequency...

It was only a matter of time before Yuichi Kawai was overtaken by Gu Ran.

Sure enough, in less than 3 minutes, Gu Ran caught up with Yuichi Kawai who started running ahead of time at a constant speed.

Yuichi Kawai's speed is not slow, but he made a serious misjudgment in pace.

He originally thought that he could use the high-speed impact method to get rid of Gu Ran, or even trap Gu Ran in his circle, but he didn't expect that this method would actually deceive himself.

Yuichi Kawai kept turning his head to observe the distance between the two, the more he looked back, the more shocked Yuichi Kawai was in his heart!

Gu Ran's speed is too fast!
And this is actually just Gu Ran's normal speed, not Gu Ran's sprint speed.

Gu Ran never thought of chasing Yuichi Kawai at all, Gu Ran just ran according to his original rhythm from the beginning to the end.

If you have to say that Gu Ran has a goal, then Gu Ran's goal is himself, which is to constantly surpass himself.

But how did Kawai Yuichi know this?

Yuichi Kawai thought that Gu Ran was going to compete with him, so he accelerated his sprint even more desperately, completely disregarding his physical consumption.

It was obviously just a warm-up run, but Yuichi Kawai treated it like a life-and-death battle.

At the beginning, Kawai Yuichi was able to distance himself from Gu Ran a bit, and continued to maintain the lead.

But that lead didn't last long.

Soon, Yuichi Kawai's breath was in chaos, his footsteps were vain, and his endurance was obviously unsustainable.

Gu Ran continued to run according to his established rhythm, and began to speed up when his body was sweating slightly in the second half, fully awakening the body's motor functions and exerting them to the best state.

Dopamine in the body starts to secrete.

This kind of refreshing feeling of running can only be experienced by real runners.

This is second only to the refreshing feeling of loving.

Enthusiasm still requires the cooperation of two people, but running, one person can be happy.

Soon, Gu Ran surpassed the panting Yuichi Kawai.

"Impossible! This is impossible! How could I lose..."

Kawai Yuichi almost gritted his teeth, for the sake of his own face, he chased him even more desperately!
Comparing the expressions of the two, one is full of enjoyment, and the other is full of ferocity-the judgment is judged.

Honami watched from the sidelines, her heart in her throat.

Honami was afraid that Kawai Yuichi would be messed up like before, so she pulled Gu Ran.

But soon, Honami found that her worry was purely unnecessary-Yuichi Kawai couldn't catch up with Gu Ran at all, and had no chance to pull Gu Ran.

Gu then accelerated rapidly in the second half, as if he was sprinting.

But this is not Gu Ran's real sprint, it's just that after his body is warmed up, his dopamine rush is high, and he has reached the best competitive state.

Kawai Yuichi's breathing rhythm was completely disrupted by Gu Ran's acceleration in the second half.

Kawai Yuichi desperately chased after him, and his speed also increased in the second half of the journey, but he couldn't compare with Gu Ran at all.

Gu Ran ran so easily, so chic, and so happy.

Gu Ran still had some strength, but Yuichi Kawai was already desperately trying.

If Yuichi Kawai hadn't tried his best, Gu Ran would have already put him in a loop.

This gap in competitive status is visible to the naked eye.

The more Yuichi Kawai chased, the more shocked he became, the more desperate he became, and the more he chased, the more he realized that he was far inferior to Gu Ran.

……how so?how so!
The champion of the British national competition...is it really so much stronger than me, the champion of the Japanese national competition?
Yuichi Kawai's mentality is about to explode!
At the end of their warm-up run, other U18 players also came to the training ground yawning.

When they saw Gu Ran's warm-up pace, they all secretly gasped.

To be honest, most of the players in the U18 youth team are not very convinced of Gu Ran from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially after the restaurant incident, most of the U18 youth team players wanted to overwhelm Gu Ran in training to prove that Gu Ran was a parallel importer.

How could Gu Ran, an amateur player without any professional experience, be able to rise to the sky in one step and become the hopeful star of Southampton's first team?
Why can Gu Ran enjoy the favor of the club's top management and enviable resources?
But when they saw Gu Ran's training attitude and training ability, the hearts of all of them sank:
Is this really an amateur grassroots player without any professional training?
This competitive state simply beats us by several blocks!

With such a warm-up pace, can he still have the physical fitness for afternoon training?
——At this time, Coach Dodd came to the training ground.

Coach Dodd was stunned for a moment, and then shouted excitedly: "God! What did I see? Someone is warming up early? Let me think about it, the last time someone warmed up early in the afternoon dates back to more than 20 years. Before, it was when I was teammates with Alan Shearer! Unexpectedly, I saw the scene of warming up early in the afternoon again today! Look at Gu Ran! He is obviously the star of hope for the first team, but he still Such hard work! Look at you bastards again, you are a bunch of unprofessional trash! The gap between you and the first team is the gap between you and Gu Ran!"

Coach Dodd can't say a word about Southampton star Alan Shearer.

The U18 players present bowed their heads.

Before the training in the afternoon started, they were scolded first.

It's all Gu Ran's fault!
Without Gu Ran, these U18s are the good boys of the coach, with Gu Ran, these U18s are all the coach's dogs...

The coach is like a scumbag who loves the new and dislikes the old!

Coach Dodd continued to yell: "Okay, everyone gather! Gu, come too."

When it comes to "Gu", Coach Dodd's tone becomes extra gentle.

"Yes! Coach!" U18 players gathered in a queue with depressed faces.

Gu Ran also stopped the warm-up run and lined up with other players.

After all, he was following the training, and Gu Ran didn't intend to integrate with these U18 players, so when standing in the team, he also deliberately chose the most marginal position.

Kawai Yuichi also ran over to gather in line with a look of embarrassment and unwillingness.

He also stood on the edge of the team - unlike Gu Ran, Gu Ran didn't want to integrate with the U18, so he took the initiative to stand on the edge, while Kawai Yuichi was pushed to the edge of the team.

Kawai Yuichi stood next to Gu Ran, lowered his voice and said, "Gu Ran, don't be complacent, our competition has not yet been decided."

Gu Ran smiled lightly, ignoring this cheap son.

Coach Dodd looked around, and then said in a stern tone: "Next, I will announce an important news: We will have an intra-team training match in 5 days, and members of the U18 coaching staff will be there at that time. Everyone conducts a comprehensive assessment. Those who meet the assessment criteria will have a pre-season warm-up match with Liverpool’s U6 youth team on the 18th day—”

As soon as this remark came out, all the U18 players present exclaimed.

After the official start of the season, the U18 youth team can compete with the U18 youth team of the same level every week. However, the Southampton club is in the League One, so under normal circumstances, the Southampton U18 youth team cannot compete with the Premier League. Level Liverpool U18s played against each other.

The Liverpool club is a strong presence in the Premier League, and it can get the opportunity to play against the Liverpool U18 youth team. This will undoubtedly be a huge improvement for the Southampton U18 youth team!

If he performs well in the friendly match, he may even be picked up by...Liverpool!

The U18 players were full of anticipation!
Gu Ran couldn't help being a little excited in his heart - if he could participate, then this would be the best training opportunity before officially entering the first team.

"Yoxi! Such a great opportunity, I must participate!" Twenty-footed among the cheap sons next to him clenched their fists.

Seeing Coach Dodd pressed his palm, "I want to tell everyone that this opportunity for a friendly match is very rare. This arrangement was also arranged by my old teammate Alan Shearer. You should all know , Alan was once the top scorer in the Premier League and is currently the man with the most goals in the Premier League. At the same time, he was also the top scorer in the European Cup and the top scorer in the Europa League. His status in British football is very high. Give him face. This time our friendly match against Liverpool U18s will be played at the youth training ground at Liverpool's Melwood training base, and Alan will also come to the match in person to cheer for us."

"Wow!"

"You can meet the legendary Alan Shearer!"

"My God! This is crazy!"

"I must get Alan's autograph!"

The players of the U18 youth team seemed to have been injected with chicken blood!
——The Melwood training base is a training base built in the 50s. It was not until 2018 that the Liverpool Club began to build a new AXA Kirkby training base, and it will be put into use in the summer of 2020.

After the completion of the Kirkby training base, Liverpool's training facilities became the world's top existence. Before that, the Liverpool club's first team and youth academy were still using the old Melwood training base.

But this does not hinder the current youth training level of the Liverpool club.

Yuichi Kawai raised his hand eagerly, wanting to ask a question.

Coach Dodd ignored him.

Gu Ran didn't raise his hand, and asked directly: "Coach, can I participate in this warm-up match?"

Coach Dodd immediately grinned and said: "Of course! Gu! This is a friendly match. As long as you meet the age of 18 years old, there are no other restrictions. What's more, this friendly match is also a friendly match. The senior management of our club knows that you are following the U18 youth. Team training, so I went to ask Alan to help me set up the line."

shit...

It turned out to be a warm-up match specially for me.

This has not officially become a first-team professional player, but he can already enjoy such high-level resources... It's really cool.

The corner of Gu Ran's mouth couldn't help but twitch a smile.

The other U18 players were all extremely complicated.

The opportunity they dreamed of, turned out to be just in Gu Ran's favor.

They were both envious and jealous, but also had to be grateful for the favors and benefits that Gu Ran brought.

Kawai Yuichi had mixed feelings at the moment.

According to Coach Dodd, he also has the opportunity to participate in this Liverpool U18 friendly match, but he is very ashamed and annoyed when he thinks that this friendly match is a favor from Gu Ran.

Just listen to Coach Dodd continue: "Okay, since we will have a friendly match with Liverpool U6 team in 18 days, we have to double the training in the last few days-after all, although it is called a friendly match, it is related to the Southampton club. Glory, we can't lose! In the past few days of training, everyone must cheer me up!"

"Yes! Coach!" the U18 youth team roared majesticly.

Coach Dodd nodded with satisfaction, "This afternoon's training is divided into two parts. The first is the 30-meter endurance run. After the endurance run, everyone rests for [-] minutes, and then there is running training on the field."

"what……"

"Isn't it?"

"I just ran [-] meters yesterday!"

"My fatty acids are still piling up on my thighs!"

The players of the U18 youth team complained one after another.

Dodd frowned and said, "If you don't want to see Alan Shearer, and don't want to participate in the friendly match against Liverpool's U18 team, you don't need to train, just get out."

As soon as these words came out, the players present were suddenly silent, and they could only complain in their hearts.

The most bitter thing is not these U18 youth team players, but Yuichi Kawai.

When Yuichi Kawai heard that he was going to train for a [-]-meter endurance run in the afternoon, his whole body went numb.

He just had a warm-up run with Gu Ran, and his physical energy was consumed a lot, and now he can't recover at all!

He hadn't even caught his breath yet, and running another [-] meters at this time would have killed him!

Kawai Yuichi glanced bitterly at Gu Ran who was beside him, but he saw that Gu Ran's expression was relaxed, and even a little...can't wait.

This guy... is actually very happy?Is he a monster?
no!I can't lose to him!
Kawai Yuichi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust his state.

After the whole team briefly stretched, Coach Dodd held the timer and gave the order to start——

In professional clubs, there is a minimum performance standard for every training session. Once the standard is not met, they may be retrained, or they may be sent down to take care of the water dispenser.

The survival of professional clubs is very cruel, every day is a test, and each item has standards, which are more direct than the tests and standards in the workplace.

This is professionalization.

Gu Ran's physical condition is hot, and he ran at the forefront of the team from the very beginning.

Those young players who were angered by Gu Ran during the lunch were naturally not to be outdone, and threw off their long legs one after another, speeding up and chasing.

This is their best chance to prove that they are not worse than the hopeful star of the first team.

It was also inspired by the upcoming friendly match, so the entire U18 youth team was very excited.

Gu Ran didn't care about their pursuit at all, but ran methodically according to his own pace.

The [-]-meter training run is not passion, but physical distribution.

In the first lap, Gu Ran was overtaken by four youth team players and fell to the No.5 position.

On the second lap, Gu Ran was overtaken by two youth team players and fell to the No.8 position.

However, by the fifth lap, those players who sprinted too hard at the beginning couldn't hold on, and their speed slowed down.

Gu Ran continued to maintain an even pace and passed easily.

And as for Kawai Yuichi...he used too much force during the warm-up run, and his physical fitness was poor, so he naturally fell at the end of the team.

This is also Yuichi Kawai's worst performance since he came to the Southampton club for trial training.

Yuichi Kawai regretted wasting all his physical energy on warming up with Gu Ran.

What he didn't understand was that after running to warm up, why did Gu Ran have nothing to do?
How strong is Gu Ran's physical ability?

"Kawai! What are you doing?" Coach Dodd stood on the sidelines and shouted at Yuichi Kawai: "Did you not eat enough at noon? With your level, you still want to stay in our Southampton club? Quickly speed me up." ! If you fail in the [-]-meter race, then you can just pack up and leave!"

Coach Dodd doesn't give any sympathy to his words.

Kawai Yuichi didn't dare to speak back, so he could only try to concentrate, gritted his teeth and continued to run desperately.

Whether it is a warm-up run or a [-]-meter physical training, in fact, there is no technical content, and it all depends on the intensity of physical fitness.

In the British professional league, physical fitness is definitely the most important part of all factors.

It is related to the trial training and whether he can participate in the Liverpool U18 friendly match. Yuichi Kawai dare not relax in the slightest.

"Yuichi..." Honami stood on the sidelines with a anxious expression on her face.

She was even more worried than Yuichi Kawai. If Yuichi Kawai failed to meet the standards, they would have to leave Southampton.

Honami doesn't want to leave.

At least, don't want to leave now...

Five minutes later, Yuichi Kawai's speed dropped a lot.

Kawai Yuichi had a face full of pain, pinched his waist with his hands, and persisted hard.

In his state, whether he can run down is a question, not to mention the achievement of the standard.

At this time, Gu Ran overtook from his right and completed the loop.

There is no need to say anything more about the gap between the two.

When passing by Yuichi Kawai, Gu Ran sneered and said, "So that's all you have."

what……

Laughing at the little days is much more enjoyable than I imagined!
Gu Ran felt more at ease.

Yuichi Kawai was completely blown away!
"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for me to lose to you!"

Kawai Yuichi let out a roar, and the originally slowed speed broke out again, desperately chasing Gu Ran!

After only half a lap, Kawai Yuichi couldn't keep up again.

Gu Ran's speed has always maintained a constant rhythm, but Kawai Yuichi can only rely on anger to support a certain distance.

In fact, physical fitness is not considered Kawai Yuichi's weakness, after all, he can't compare with Gu Ran, a heaven-defying existence.

If he hadn't been competitive with Gu Ran, he would have no problem running the [-] meters at his own pace.

Yuichi Kawai's real weakness is his mentality.

With Kawai Yuichi's mentality, he is not suitable to become a professional player at all.

Even if he has good footwork skills, even if he has a talented and spiritual performance in front of the goal, but without a good competitive mentality, he cannot become a real professional player.

From this point of view alone, Yuichi Kawai is definitely not qualified to stay at the Southampton club.
