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

Chapter 329 Northampton coach: If Gu Ran can score a goal, I’ll kiss the donkey’s ass!

That night, after Gu Ran returned home, he continued to practice ball control in his backyard.

After training for an hour and a half, Gu Ran entered the bathroom with satisfaction and underwent ice and fire therapy.

There is no woman in the house, it does feel a bit lonely.

Of course it's not my fault for thinking this way, it's all my fault for my excellent and young body.

Now, I really just want to play football. Even if a woman appears, I will never be flirted with.

——Just after thinking this, Evelin called.

Gu Ran raised his eyebrows and answered the call immediately.

Before Evelin could start flirting, Gu Ran automatically entered the flirting mode: "Hey, baby, did you miss me?"

Evelin on the other end of the phone smiled coquettishly: "Dear! I miss you so much! How is your injury now? What are you busy with now? Have you taken a good rest?"

Gu Ran was half lying on the sofa, "I just got clean."

Evelin said coquettishly: "Oh, don't tease me! You know I can't stand it! You don't let me go to your house. How can I sleep tonight if you do this?"

Gu Ran chuckled and said, "If you come, you won't be able to sleep even more."

Evelin said: "I hate it~ let's get down to business! How is your injury?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "It's fine for a long time. The head coach has approved it. I can be a substitute in tomorrow's game, but it's hard to say whether I can play or not."

"What?!" Evelin said in shock: "You can be a substitute tomorrow? My dear, this, this is not to make me happy, is it? Is your injury really okay?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I told you a long time ago that I am extremely talented! In short, believe me, you will definitely see me at St. Mary's Stadium tomorrow."

Evelin said excitedly: "That's great! God bless! It's not in vain that I pray for you every day! Gu, do you know how much I've been suffering during this time? I think you must be suffering just like me. Bar?"

Uh……

Gu Ran said with full sense of truth: "Oh, don't mention it..."

"Okay, okay! Don't mention it anymore!" Evelin said happily: "It's good that you're fine! I really hope to see you right away! I really hope that you can come to Hayden Manor early... to ride a horse!"

Evelin, when you talk about horseback riding, you mean serious horseback riding, right?

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "I really want to go to Hayden Manor... to ride a horse."

Evelin immediately said: "Then after the game is over tomorrow, you can come to Hayden Manor in the evening!"

Gu Ran said without hesitation: "Okay! Let's make an appointment!"

"Hehe~ Then I'll wait for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ran couldn't help but frown.

shit...

What did I do just now?
I promised to only focus on playing football, and promised to refuse flirting. Why, why did I take the initiative?

What is my bottom line as a human being?
Is playing jungle really that exciting?
Well, there really are.

Ahem...but this time is definitely the last time!

After this time, I will definitely focus all my energy on my main job of playing football!
I guarantee it with my bottom line!

Gu Ran took a deep breath, went back to the master bedroom and lay down with a solemn expression, and then sent Elizabeth a text message saying "There are traces of longing on the floor-to-ceiling windows."

It's over, I'm hopeless...

The next morning.

Gu Ran drove to St. Mary's Stadium early for adaptive training.

The stadium staff were all shocked when they saw Gu Ran!
A few days ago, they were discussing how it was a pity that the rising star Gu Ran died young, but today they saw Gu Ran alive and kicking on the home court!

Rumors about Gu Ran's return immediately spread among media reporters.

"What? Gu Ran arrived at St. Mary's Stadium?"

"He should be sitting in the audience watching the game, right?"

"No? He is a substitute today?"

"Is this impossible? He was so seriously injured! How could he recover so quickly?"

"This sounds false and is probably a ploy used by Southampton Club to sell Gu Ran as soon as possible."

"No matter what... I still have to go to the site and take a look."

Reporters from the news media, who had been silent for a long time, took action upon hearing the news.

The content of Southampton's training in the morning was still defensive counterattack and high pressure.

Gu Ran has recovered most of his competitive form and is very physically fit. He has repeatedly created wonderful scenes in training.

Coach Adkins is also quite satisfied with Gu Ran's performance.

His teammates also high-fived Gu Ran and bumped their chests.

Gu Ran's exclusive team were all dancing happily - their Gu Zhen was back!

After lunch, Coach Adkins called the players back to the home team's locker room for a tactical analysis class.

"...The head coach of Northampton is Ian Sample. He is a native of Northampton, and his experience in the youth team and first team is also in Northampton."

"It can be said that he is an absolute loyalist of Northampton, and he naturally regards Southampton as our absolute rival."

"It is actually not accurate to say that our two teams are playing a derby in the same city. Southampton and Northampton are two different cities, each with its own culture."

"But Southampton and Northampton share the name of Southampton after all. To be precise, there should be a derby with the same name between us and them, so as long as our two clubs meet, they will definitely play to the death. Yes, prove who is the real Ampton with victory."

"According to our pre-match military intelligence, Ian Sample's usual formation is 442, the passing method is short passing, the pressing method is mixed, the game mentality is very cautious, requires ball possession rate, and the man-to-man marking method is people."

"The way we responded today was 442, compact, defensive counterattack, high pressure, zone defense, forcing them to go to the side, thus creating a stranglehold."

"Northampton doesn't have any big-name stars, but we need to be careful because their short passing and coordination are very fast, so we must make up for it in time and our movements must be accurate..."

Coach Adkins explained while drawing a running diagram on the tactical board.

Gu Ran and Lallana listened very carefully.

Lambert took notes as usual.

Chamberlain also nodded decently and wrote a series of "um huh huh" in his notebook.

After explaining the basic tactics, Coach Adkins announced the starting lineup for this game.

Sure enough, Gu Ran was not on the starting list.

Chamberlain won the starting spot due to his good performance in the last game.

It's no wonder that Chamberlain pretended to "take notes".

As for the position of left back, Ryan Dixon, a player recruited from the reserve team, will start.

Ryan Dixon is 23 years old and plays a midfield role. He is not a genuine left back candidate.

However, his dominant foot is left foot, and his defensive ability is considered good among other substitutes.

Therefore, Ryan Dixon was temporarily transformed into a left back.

This was also a helpless move by Coach Adkins.

This game is a derby, and Coach Adkins is under a lot of pressure.

Although Northampton is a team in the English Second Division, it is also considered a strong team in the English Second Division.

Moreover, Northampton has no motivation to play other teams, but it is exciting to play against Fort Pitt and Southampton.

So in this game, Coach Adkins didn't dare to give too much credit.

After the tactics class, the players went into rest mode.

The physiotherapist Gregory also carefully massaged Gu Ran's legs.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, fans from both sides began to enter the stadium.

The attendance rate for today's game is about [-]%.

Although it is not high, it is already much higher than the previous attendance rate with Wycombe Wanderers.

MaxxRT and others also bought tickets and came to the stadium.

They received a text message from Gu Ran yesterday, so they came to watch the game.

"Oh, I don't know what happened to Brother Ran's injury."

"Yeah, without Brother Ran, there would be no point in us watching this game!"

"Do you think Brother Ran has recovered and is about to appear?"

"Are you dreaming? How is this possible..."

MaxxRT and others couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen, and everyone's face was filled with heaviness.

Gu Ran's injury is definitely a double blow to them. Firstly, they can no longer see their idol playing football. Secondly, if there is no Gu Ran in the Ran Live broadcast they have worked so hard to create, there will basically be no need to continue the business. .

"If Brother Ran can come back from injury, I would rather not be able to pick up girls in the future."

"Me too. If Brother Ran can come back from injury, I would rather you never get to pick up girls in the future."

"Eh? Why don't you follow the words..."

At 2:15 p.m., the pre-match press conference began.

The coaches of both teams each brought an important player to attend.

Coach Adkins brought Lallana, and Northampton head coach Ian Sample brought Northampton's captain left back Marcus Hall to attend.

After meeting, the head coaches of both sides showed no intention of shaking hands, and their eyes were full of tension.

As a reporter for the Advance Saints, Evelin naturally came to the scene.

Today's Evelin has swept away the absent-minded decadence of the previous two games, and her whole body is radiant.

As soon as the press conference began, a reporter stood up and asked Coach Adkins:
"Coach Adkins! There are rumors that Southampton's star of hope Gu Ran has recovered from injury. Can you tell us about Gu Ran? Can Gu Ran really play in this game?"

This issue is also the issue that many media reporters are most concerned about.

Coach Adkins held up the microphone and said calmly: "Of course we hope that Gu Ran can recover from his injury, and of course we hope that Gu Ran can play. However, we still have to wait and see how things will develop."

——Although a lot has been said about the supreme realm of water, it is as if it has not been said at all.

"Then does this mean that Gu Ran has really recovered from his injury?"

"I didn't say that."

"Coach Adkins, without Gu Ran, you have already lost one and drawn one. Are you worried that you will lose to Northampton in this game?"

"This is just a warm-up match. Our goal is to try and make mistakes before the start of the new season to achieve the goal of running the team together."

Coach Adkins' answer was still watertight.

At this time, Evelyn from the Advance Saints stood up and asked: "Coach Adkins, what do you think of your opponent, Coach Sample? Northampton Club has announced their goals early. , that is promotion to League One. Do you think Coach Sample will succeed? In addition, what is the goal of Southampton Club this season?"

Coach Adkins smiled coldly, "No, I'm not optimistic about him, and I'm not optimistic about Northampton being able to advance to League One. They won't succeed. And our goal for Southampton this season is to win Champions League One, and won the English Championship, defending the Pioneer Cup." Such a statement was not out of arrogance, but a psychological tactic before the game.

That's what makes low-level professional leagues so attractive. There's no need for both sides to be restrained before the game, they just have to be tit-for-tat.

Sure enough, before the reporters could ask questions, Coach Sample said uncontrollably: "You Southampton want to win the League One Championship and the Championship Championship? Just dream! You have to win first and then we can talk!"

Evelin took the opportunity to ask: "Coach Sample, don't forget that Southampton has a promising star Gu Ran, and Gu Ran may come on as a substitute today. Do you have any plans for this? You How do you evaluate Gu Ran?"

Coach Sample smiled coldly and said: "Gu Ran? I don't know where he came from. I have been in contact with many Chinese players. It doesn't matter if Chinese players before 05 can endure hardships and have a solid foundation of ideas. After that, All Chinese players want to make money! Those who have no fighting spirit and poor confrontation are basically amateurs. They fall down at the first touch and are not active at all on the field! This is my impression of Chinese players!"

"What's more, Gu Ran is not even a player of the Chinese national team, nor is he even an apprentice in the youth training camp of a professional club!"

"In addition, I also heard that Gu Ran came on the stage by helicopter last time, and he was seriously injured after playing only half of the game. This is obviously a way of sensationalizing, deliberately boosting traffic and attracting attention! I don't think Gu Ran has any idea at all. He has no ability to stand up in high-intensity leagues such as League One and League Two. If he comes to our Northampton trial training, I will kick him out directly!"

"It would be great if Gu Ran can play in this game! My players will let him know what real professional football is! I guarantee that he will continue to get injured! I even dare to say that if he If I can play and score, I can kiss the donkey’s butt in public during the post-game press conference, just like Barkley did to Yao Ming!”

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded!

Coach Sample really dares to say that!

Barkley kissing a donkey's butt is a famous scene that is talked about in the sports world!
Not long after Yao Ming joined the Rockets in 2002, Yao Ming never found the feeling of strong confrontation. Barkley was a guest in the live broadcast room and proudly said that if Yao Ming could score 19 points in any game in the NBA, he would Just kiss your commentary partner Kenny's ass.

As a result, Yao Ming broke out in the game against the Lakers. He played 23 minutes, grabbed 6 rebounds, made 9 of 9 shots, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 20 points to help the Rockets defeat the Lakers and severely beat the flying pigs in the air. Face.

However, Buckley's partner Kenny refused to take off his pants for Buckley to kiss on the spot, so he found a donkey and asked Buckley to kiss the donkey's butt.

Now, the same Chinese player, Coach Sample said arrogantly that if Gu Ran could score a goal in this game, he would kiss the donkey's ass!

This is simply... the ecstasy of the media reporters!
Derby games between rivals are indeed the most topical!

Isn’t this the headline today?
Journalists wrote articles on the spot.

Every reporter, including those from Northampton, secretly expected Gu Ran to play today and score a goal.

If not for anything else, I just want to witness the birth of a big news with my own eyes!
Coach Sample was so proud that he didn't worry at all that what he said would hurt his feet.

He was also sure that Gu Ran would not be able to play.

To take a step back, even if Gu Ran can really play, it is impossible for Gu Ran to score a goal due to his serious injury.

In short, let’s talk harshly before the game!The more it can hurt the opponent's Southampton team's mentality, the better!

Coach Adkins' lips curled up slightly, "Okay, now that we've talked about it... let's end the pre-game press conference here. Sorry everyone, we have to prepare a donkey for Coach Sample in advance. .”

Seeing Coach Adkins stand up and leave, reporters asked questions one after another:

"Coach Adkins, are you really going to send Gu Ran on the court just to fight with Coach Sample?"

"Coach Adkins, will Gu Ran be completely scrapped because of this?"

"Coach Adkins, would Gu Ran allow you to send him on the field even though he knew he was injured?"

"Coach Adkins, are you going to block Gu Ran?"

"Coach Adkins, are you really going to find a donkey?"

"Coach Adkins..."

Coach Adkins didn't respond at all and walked out of the media hall.

2:[-] in the afternoon!

Players from both sides come on stage for adaptive warm-up!
The first to enter was the Northampton team wearing a green away jersey.

Northampton's home jersey is dark red and white. The color of this jersey is too similar to Southampton's red and white jersey, so they can only wear green jersey this time.

When the Northampton players came on the field, the Northampton fans waved flags and cheered wildly, while the Southampton fans at the scene booed wildly.

There was also a tense situation between the fans of the two teams.

Soon, Southampton players came out to warm up.

The starting players and substitutes walked out of the tunnel and entered the green field to accept the cheers of Southampton fans.

Gu Ran originally wanted to follow Lallana on the field, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by coach Adkins.

"Gu..."

"What's the matter, Coach?"

Coach Adkins said solemnly: "One thing is like this...when you go on the field to warm up, try not to make too big movements. It is best to pretend that you have just recovered."

Gu Ran smiled helplessly, "Sorry, coach, I really can't act."

Although I have slept with so many female stars, I really can’t act!

Coach Adkins said: "I am also doing this to let you tactically confuse the opponent. If you can perform, then I will send you on the field in the second half."

Gu Ran immediately said: "Coach, I really can't act, really, but I can try!"

Nothing else, just to appear in the competition!

After sleeping with so many female stars, how could I not even know how to act a lame person?

Moreover, I have been holding back for so long, as long as I can appear in the game, let alone playing a cripple, even if I play the role of Wu Laoer next door, it will be no problem!

Coach Adkins said with satisfaction: "Go! I'm optimistic about you! By the way... Do you know where there are donkeys?"

"Ah?" Gu Ran was puzzled.

Coach, do you want to eat donkey meat and burn it?

Gu Ran said seriously: "Hebei..."

Adkins nodded thoughtfully, "... Got it, go ahead."

"Good coach!"

Hahaha!I can play in the game today!

While Gu Ran was ecstatic in his heart, he stretched his legs and limped out of the tunnel.

At this time, Realistic Acting +1 will come into play.

The moment Gu Ran walked out of the tunnel, the Southampton fans at the scene were stunned!

Most Southampton fans thought they were dazzled!

Almost all the fans stood up unconsciously and watched Gu Ran "limping" into the green field!
"Oh, God……"

"Is that really Gu Ran?"

"That's right! No. 8! Gu Ran! It's really our Gu Ran!"

"Ouch! Gu! Gu!"

"Dad! Dad is here! Chinese dad is here!!!"

The suffocated fans cheered wildly in an instant, and the entire St. Mary's Stadium exploded!

This is a super, super, huge, huge surprise!

However, amid the surprise, fans are also worried!

Gu Ran's condition really doesn't look good!
"Gu really worked too hard!"

"Gu Ran is so great!"

"Yes, yes. After suffering such a serious injury, I only rested for two weeks and then I appeared on the green field."

"I have been moved to tears by Gu Ran's spirit!"

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing Gu Ran, but with his level, he definitely won't be able to play. If he plays with an injury, his future will be ruined!"

"I don't want Gu Ran to ruin it! But I want to see Gu Ran appear!"

"It's so confusing!"

In the media area of ​​the main stand, the media reporters also shook their heads.

"It's over, it's over. Looking at the way Gu Ran is limping, he will definitely not be able to play today."

"Yeah, I really don't know why Southampton let Gu Ran appear! Gu Ran obviously can't play, but Southampton actually put Gu Ran on the substitute list."

"Humph, needless to say, it must be to get other interested clubs to bid, and then Southampton can sell off Gu Ran, a burden."

"Sigh, this kind of thing is all too common among professional players."

"It's such a pity Gu Ran..."

"At this time, no club would dare to buy him."

"Yes, yes. I heard that Liverpool and Manchester City, which had previously made offers to Gu Ran, withdrew their offers."

"Wait...I remember, Gu Ran's left ankle was injured, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Then why did I see Gu Ran dragging his entire left leg before walking? I didn't remember that his thigh was also injured?"

"...I know! Gu Ran must have transferred it to his thigh!"

Evelin, who was sitting in the media area, opened her mouth in confusion at this moment.

When she talked to Gu Ran last night, Gu Ran clearly told her that her injury was fine, right?
Why...the whole leg is lame?
Evelin's complicated expression was all she could say, "Old man, we have great legs."

At the same time, in the west stand, MaxxRT and others happily high-fived and hugged each other!

"Great! Brother Ran finally showed up!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

"Why are you still crying so sadly? Is it because of Brother Zhimran's injury?"

"That's not true... Brother Ran showed up and my wish came true. I will never be able to pick up girls again..."

"It's okay, it's okay, there are still some of our brothers here!"

"I'm so touched. Thank you brothers for accompanying me!"

"No, what we mean is that we will pick up your girls for you."

"Fuck! Let's break up..."

According to the requirements of the club and the head coach, Gu Ran did not exert too much force during the warm-up. He only did simple upper body stretching, such as sprinting, controlling the ball around obstacles, and grabbing the circle game. Gu Ran did not participate in such events.

But even if it was just like this, the Southampton fans at the scene were still excited and applauded and cheered for Gu Ran.

There were also some female fans who cried hoarsely for Gu Ran, and several of them fainted from crying.

After the adaptive warm-up of both sides, the starting players returned to the locker room to make final preparations.

Gu Ran and other substitute players sat on the home team's bench to watch the game.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the referee blew the whistle for the game.
