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

Chapter 287 Liverpool's Traditional Metaphysics!Star-studded Anfield Stadium!
In the passionate singing of "Allez Allez Allez", coach Adkins also had to raise his voice and give pre-match training loudly:
"Boys... play well!"

All players: ...

Gu Ran is also full of black lines...

It was the first time Gu Ran saw such a brief pre-match training session.

Not to mention that it was the first time seeing Gu Ran, it was also the first time seeing other veteran players.

But it's reasonable to think about it. Coach Adkins usually doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to say inspiring words.

"Yes, coach!"

Under the leadership of captain Davis, the players formed a circle, folded the backs of their hands, and shouted in unison: "The Saints must win!"

The voice of "Allez Allez Allez" in the stadium was so loud that the words "must win" could not be heard at all.

Of course, most players are not very confident. After all, facing such a frenzied home atmosphere and facing the Premier League giants Liverpool, shouting "must win" is indeed a bit arrogant.

At 2:40, the two teams entered the stadium for the final pre-match adaptive warm-up training.

When Gu Ran stepped onto the green turf of the Anfield stadium, seeing the red color all over the field, his pores exploded uncontrollably.

There is no need for a competition, just being in such a frenetic atmosphere can make the adrenaline soar and it is difficult to suppress!

Britain really deserves to be the capital of modern football. This kind of football culture atmosphere is really shocking!

The Southampton fans who came from afar immediately cheered excitedly when they saw their team appearing on the field.

Especially the women of the Southampton team, their screams resounded across the entire Anfield stadium in an instant.

It was also the first time for Elizabeth, who was in the wives' group, to watch football live, and it was the first time she felt such an explosive atmosphere. Her eardrums were almost shattered.

When her eyes finally found Gu Ran among the players, she jumped up and waved to Gu Ran regardless of the pain in her ears.

The atmosphere of watching the game on the spot is really contagious, and Elizabeth's melancholy has also been diluted a lot.

However, Gu Ran had already started the warm-up training, and did not see Elizabeth waving at all.

Linda, who was sitting in the main stand, couldn't hide her excitement and took a deep breath at this time, "I finally brought Gu Ran to Anfield to play football, although it was only once...but this is the beginning..."

Edwards, who was sitting behind Linda, couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart:

Ms. Linda, that's crazy.

One sentence can make the entire Liverpool team play football with Gu Ran...

Edwards also secretly settled an account in his heart:

Normally, the ticket split between the home team and the visiting team is 9:1. The average ticket price for Liverpool is 42 pounds. There are probably less than 5 people entering the stadium today. So normally, the ticket revenue for this game, Liverpool Originally able to get 180 million pounds, Southampton could get about 20 pounds.

In order to invite the Southampton team to play football, Liverpool took the initiative to sell the ticket benefits, and distributed 140 million pounds to the Southampton team, while they only took 60 pounds...

From 180 million to 60, the income of 120 million pounds was lost, just to watch Gu Ran play football...

It's really crazy.

Edwards turned his attention to Gu Ran, who was warming up on the court, and secretly swore in his heart: I must bring Gu Ran to Liverpool and dedicate it to Ms. Linda!must!

At this time, the diehard fans in the KOP stands also noticed No. 8 Gu Ran.

"That kid? He's a Chinese, right?"

"Looks thin, doesn't look like a football player."

"Oh, no wonder he has so many female fans, it's because he's handsome."

"Huh, handsome, can you play as a ball?"

"He still dares to wear No. 8? Isn't this to match our G8 Gerrard?"

"Southampton is ridiculous! Let a pure newcomer wear No. 8! This is a football field, not a catwalk where you are more handsome!"

The die-hard fans in the KOP stand booed Southampton in all kinds of ways.

Of course, the main thing was to boo Gu Ran who was wearing the No. 8 jersey.

Haldin deliberately walked up to Gu Ran who was warming up, and said sarcastically, "Boy, did you hear the boos from the audience? It's all thanks to you."

Without raising his head, Gu Ran said, "So what? Some people want it and don't have it yet."

"You!" The muscles on Haldin's face twitched slightly, "Hmph, I'll wait for you to see you make a fool of yourself! After this game, you will become the joke of the whole club!"

Gu Ran sneered and said, "Then you should keep your dog's eyes wide open and show me."

Haldin took a step closer to Gu Ran, and said angrily, "Fake! How dare you call me a dog? Apologize! Otherwise, this matter will never end!"

Seeing the signs of confrontation between the two, Captain Davis immediately intervened, wrapped Gu Ran's shoulder with one hand, pressed Haldin's shoulder with the other, and said with a smile: "What are you playing? Don't play like this! This is a game! Our The fans are watching, and the opponent's fans are watching too! If there is any problem, go back and solve it, don't show your eyes here!"

Haldin gritted his teeth and said, "This kid called me a dog! He must apologize to me!"

Gu Ran smiled indifferently, "Okay, I apologize - I shouldn't insult the dog."

"Fack!" Haldin's entire face twisted.

Fortunately, Davis pressed his shoulder hard, making him unable to move.

Davis said coldly: "Gu, don't say a few words! Haldin, you are also a veteran, so you can't bear it? First, let me play the first preseason game smoothly. After all, when we get back to Staplewood, you two can quarrel as much as you like."

Gu Ran shrugged, "As long as he doesn't mess with me, I won't fight back."

Haldin was about to grit his teeth, "Good boy, you are lucky, even the boss of Davis is facing you now, but don't be complacent, the game is the only criterion for judging players! Let's wait and see!"

After speaking, Haldin got rid of Davis, turned around and walked to the other side to warm up.

Davis patted Gu Ran on the shoulder, gave Gu Ran a comforting look, and walked away without saying anything.

Lambert ran over and smiled at Gu Ran, "Gu, don't be nervous, and don't pay attention to Haldin, you came off the bench, even if you lose this game, everyone will not blame you on the body."

Gu Ran also smiled at Lambert, "Thank you, Lambert."

Lambert grinned and said, "Come on!"

"Ah."

Southampton's small episode went unnoticed under the early intervention of captain Davies.

However, Adkins, the head coach on the sidelines, completely saw it.

Coach Adkins had his arms folded across his chest, his poker face still on his face.

This team has a lot of problems, but now is not the time to solve these problems. We have to finish this preseason first, so that the problems will surface obediently...

Not long after the Southampton team started warming up, the Anfield stadium cheered wildly again.

The DJ roared wildly: "Let us welcome our Liverpool team to the stadium with the warmest applause!!!"

Captain Steven Gerrard, wrinkled and wearing a red No. 8 jersey, waved to the wildly cheering Liverpool fans while leading the other players to trot onto the pitch.

The stadium at Anfield is about to explode!
All the Liverpool stadiums were on their feet, applauding their hero Steven Gerrard and the rest of the players.

在杰拉德的身后，依次是1号门将布拉德·琼斯、2号后卫格伦·约翰逊、3号后卫保罗·孔切斯基、4号后腰劳尔·梅勒雷斯、5号后卫丹尼·阿格尔、6号后卫法比奥·奥雷利奥、10号中场乔·科尔、14号前锋米兰·约万诺维奇，16号后卫索迪里奥斯·基尔贾科斯，17号中场马克西·罗德里格斯，18号前锋德克·库伊特、19号前锋瑞恩·巴贝尔、21号中场卢卡斯·雷瓦、23号杰米·卡拉格、24号前锋大卫·恩格戈、25号门将何塞·姆努埃尔·雷纳、26号中场杰伊·斯皮林、28号中场克里斯蒂安·波尔森、32号后卫斯蒂芬·达比、37号后卫马丁·斯科特尔。

The on-site DJ introduced the names and positions of the Liverpool players in turn with the fullest enthusiasm.

Every name has received a warm response from Liverpool fans.

The Liverpool players who were named also waved happily to the fans who supported them.

As for the players of the Southampton team, the on-site DJ just briefly read the list of Southampton's starting 11 players.

None of the other substitute players, including Gu Ran's name, was notified.

The fans of the visiting team were obviously very dissatisfied with this. The beautiful girl cheerleaders chanted Gu Ran's name in unison, and all the fans in the North Stand of Anfield Road followed in chanting Gu Ran's name.

For a moment, Gu Ran's name resounded throughout the Anfield stadium.

MaxxRT, sitting in the fifth row of the visiting team stand on the north side, said excitedly: "The atmosphere at the scene is so explosive! I really want to take out my phone and broadcast it live!"

Amidst the misty rain of many past events, he hurriedly said: "Maxx, for your own chrysanthemum, you have to calm down!"

Sanqiu official said: "That's right! Be patient, before the league starts, we will definitely get the copyright for the live broadcast!"

Bigu Qingjuro said: "It's not us who are most anxious now, but the domestic netizens who can't see Gu Ran playing football, why don't we use text to broadcast live on our post bar, and by the way, we can also give our APP an early introduction. drainage."

Qiao Shan, who was holding Jordan next to him, immediately said, "Okay, leave this to me!"

Qiao Shan, who was next to Jordan, immediately took out his mobile phone, and opened a post on the theme of "Gu Ran's Debut Text Live Broadcast" in the post bar called "Ran Live", and updated the situation on the court in real time.

——Ran Live, which is also the name they gave the live broadcast software.

Burning burning represents the burning blood of competitive sports, and it is also a homophony of the word "Ran" in Gu Ran.

After all, this live broadcast software was created to watch Gu Ran's ball.

As soon as the theme post came out, it instantly became a hot post.

Although it was late at night in China, the fans in China were still enthusiastic.

This is also after they have experienced a long wait, they can finally know the news of Gu Ran's match again!
In less than 2 minutes, this topic post has been viewed tens of thousands of times, and the message interaction has also reached thousands of times!
Every domestic fan who knows about Gu Ran's existence wants to accompany and witness Gu Ran's debut!

At this time, the KOP fans in the south stand didn't even sing and cheer for their team, and all booed at the opposite north stand.

The boos of the KOP completely suppressed the voice of "Gu Ran".

More than 5000 Southampton fans who came from afar tried their best to scream, but they couldn't beat the more than 4 fanatical Liverpool fans.

Gu Ran smiled, and the Southampton fans who rushed to support him clapped and bowed to thank him.

Although the voices of the Southampton fans are not as loud as those of the KOP and other Liverpool fans, as a new player making his professional debut, Gu Ran is already very satisfied and happy to leave his name on the Anfield stadium as soon as he arrives.

Gerrard, who was warming up on the green field, couldn't help asking his teammates curiously: "What are the Southampton fans shouting about?"

Carragher shrugged, "Who knows, it seems to be the name of a Chinese player."

Gerrard looked at Gu Ran, who was seriously training in the opposite half, and couldn't help laughing: "It's rare! To be able to meet a Chinese player in a British game! The last time I met a Chinese player, it was a long time ago." When I played against Manchester City, when I met Sun Jihai."

Joe Cole couldn't help frowning, "Steven, did you see that? That kid actually wears size 8—just like you."

Gerald laughed, "...Interesting."

At this time, Gu Ran also happened to look towards Gerald.

Gu Ran smiled at Gerrard and the others from a distance: These are all walking star skills!

Gerrard immediately smiled and said to his teammates: "This kid looks very friendly, and he is smiling at us."

The strong god Glenn Johnson sneered: "Looking at how thin he is, he doesn't look like a football player at all. He has to be scrapped when he plays."

Gerrard said with a smile: "Glenn, take it easy. In a friendly match, the opponent is a League One team. Take it easy, take it easy."

Glenn Johnson shrugged, "Sorry, friendly matches are also competitions, either he doesn't pass by me, but if he wants to pass by me, I don't care if he is rare or not, even if the giant pandas from China come, I will still get them." Shovel him over."

Gerald shook his head helplessly, "That's fine, God bless that kid from running into you."

The adaptive warm-up before the game will end soon.

The substitute players of both sides returned to their respective benches, and the starting players of both sides returned to the player tunnel, held the hands of the little caddy arranged by the court, and waited for the entrance.

As soon as Gu Ran walked to the visiting team's bench, he saw Elizabeth Olsen waving at him wave after wave, "Gu! Gu! I'm here!"

shit~
Spectacular.

Aomei, you are usually free, but you are also free when you come to the stadium to watch the game?
Well, you foreigner girls, you really save fabric.

Gu Ran trotted to Elizabeth in front of the beating waves, "Hi, Liz!"

Elizabeth's eyes were filled with excitement, "Wow! Gu! I didn't expect you to be more handsome in a jersey than without anything at all! Uh, I mean, you look so handsome in a jersey! And , you still have so many fans! The entire north stand is shouting your name! Are you really a substitute?"

Gu Ran smiled, "Really."

Elizabeth asked eagerly again: "Then when will you be able to come on stage? I can't wait to see you play football!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "It's not up to me to decide, it's up to the head coach, and the head coach also depends on the situation on the spot."

Elizabeth asked in surprise: "Isn't it the kind of way to go up and fight for a while, then switch off to rest, and then switch to play for a while?"

Gu Ran said helplessly: "You said it was basketball. Once football is replaced, it cannot be replaced, even in a friendly match where there is no limit on the number of substitutions."

Elizabeth said "Oh", "The rules of football are so unreasonable. People can play basketball."

Gu Ran: ...

Elizabeth smiled again: "That's right, the No. 8 player on the opposite side is equivalent to a Hollywood football star?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Yes, I really didn't expect that, Liz, you don't even understand the basic rules of football, but you still know that No. 8 is a big football star."

Elizabeth smiled and said: "In terms of football, I still know a few big stars. I don't know anyone else, but I know Liverpool's No. 8... Lampard!"

Gu Ran: ...

I shouldn't have praised you.

All right, you'll be happy.

Gu Ran didn't correct it, anyway, for the stupid and cute female fans who don't understand football, it doesn't make much sense to correct it.

Gu Ran smiled and said: "The game will start soon, I'm going back to the bench, you can watch Lampard here."

"Okay! Gu!" Elizabeth added: "However, he is not as handsome as you!"

"thanks……"

Gu Ran returned to the bench with a face full of dumbfounding and sat down.

3 p.m. exactly.

Led by three international referees, Liverpool and Southampton players lined up in two rows and made their official debut!

The starting players of both sides shook hands, and the captains of both sides came to the referee to guess the coin.

Southampton's field captain is Davies, while Liverpool's starting captain is number 10 Joe Cole.

Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard and team vice Carragher are sitting leisurely on the home team's bench at this time.

Joe Cole guessed pros and cons correctly and won the priority to pick a side.

Joe Cole immediately pointed his finger towards the northern half, as all Liverpool captains would choose - in the first half, Liverpool would attack from north to south.

Such a choice is also superstitious metaphysics of the Liverpool team.

In the first official game after the establishment of the Liverpool team in 1892, Liverpool's first captain chose to attack from north to south, and the final score was 8:0.

Liverpool people like this big first victory very much, they think that attacking from north to south is God's blessing for Liverpool.

As a result, this has become a tradition of the Liverpool club. As long as the weather conditions permit, the previous Liverpool captains will choose to attack from north to south when choosing sides.

Because of this, the KOP stand on the south side is the favorite stand of Liverpool fans, because standing here can see Liverpool's goals most clearly and intuitively.

Of course, the venues will be changed in the second half, what kind of metaphysics, luck, protection, all will be switched, but the KOPs don’t think so, they think the second half is garbage time, and with the strength of the Red Army, the game can be settled in 45 minutes in the first half.

As for the second half, it was time for the KOPs to taunt their opponents and sing songs to celebrate.

In short, on-the-spot captain Joe Cole maintained Liverpool's tradition and chose the northern half, so Southampton would be assigned to the southern half.

Southampton also got the kick-off.

Amidst bursts of wild cheers from the KOP, the caddies left the field, and the players took a group photo in their respective half of the field, and then took their respective positions.
