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

Chapter 262 Why are my fans so dishonest?Gu Ran 1vs the entire Southampton first team!

No one wants the auspicious number 8?

Oh, that's right.

Foreigners don't pay attention to this.

In fact, it's not unreasonable. For example, on the 13th and Black Friday, they are still very taboo.

Gu Ran checked it carefully again, and confirmed that the No. 8 jersey really has no owner!
However, number 8 is generally the shirt number of the midfielder and, moreover, is usually reserved for the midfielder's brain.

Those who wear the No. 8 jersey are basically the organizers of a team. They are the people who master the rhythm of offense and defense.

For example, in the early days of Arsene Wenger's coaching, Ljungberg, who endorsed brand-name underwear, wore the No. 8 jersey.

There is also the "I am ugly but I am not gentle" midfielder Gattuso, who wears No. 8 in the national team and Milan club.

There is also Juninho, the master of free kicks and the king of fallen leaves, who also wears No. 8 in the Lyon team, which has won seven consecutive Ligue [-] championships.

There are also the strongest classical midfielder Riquelme, Lu Xiaopang Rooney from a boxing family, Real Madrid's four-time winner of the Champions League midfield metronome Kroos, Liverpool's team soul Gerrard, Chelsea's team soul Lampard...all wear the No. 8 jersey.

The No. 8 jersey is the most representative star in the contemporary era is Spain's Xavi and Iniesta.

The soul of Spanish football has never been No. 9 or No. 10, but No. 8.

Iniesta is Barcelona's No. 8, and he is also underestimated by the world and a true football master.

The Barcelona team with him is the real tiki-taka.

And Xavi is the number 8 of the Spanish national team. The combination of him and Xiaobai is definitely the most powerful midfield combination of the national team in contemporary football, not one of them.

It can be said that No. 8 is definitely a very good jersey number, it is the organizer of the team, and it can even grow into the number of the soul-level player of the team.

Southampton club's number 8 turned out to be vacant...

This may be because the previous No. 8 retired or transferred, and the Southampton club did not sign much midfielders this season, so this number just happened to be vacant.

And this number is very meaningful, even if there are new players, they dare not choose it.

...This is simply tailor-made for me!
Others dare not wear it, but I dare!

I will compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the future!
If you don't even have the responsibility to wear the No. 8 player, then what's the future?
Well, I'm going to be number 8!

Gu Ran took a deep breath, "Coach, I have chosen! I want to wear the number 8 jersey!"

Coach Adkins was taken aback, "Number 8? Are you sure?"

Gu Ran raised his head and said, "Yes."

"……it is good."

Coach Adkins didn't waste any extra nonsense, he directly took the registration list in Gu Ran's hand, and filled in the number 8 in front of Gu Ran's name.

"I will submit this list of materials to the athletic director."

"I trust that Mr. Mark Walker will approve."

"You can go, see you later when we gather."

shit...

It's so simple!

From now on, I will be Southampton's No. 8 player!

"Thank you coach, see you later when we gather."

Gu Ran got up to say goodbye.

After Gu Ran left, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Coach Adkins's mouth, "Dare to wear size 8? This kid... is very cute."

After leaving the head coach's office.

Rick wiped the fine sweat off Fat's face, "Gu, you actually chose number 8?"

Gu Ran shrugged, "No. 8 is empty, can't I choose?"

Rick said: "It's possible... But Gu, please don't blame me for talking too much. Although the senior management of the club like you and agree that you will be Southampton's hope, and even Saints fans have high expectations for you, but the players of the first team and reserve team may not think so. The reason why everyone didn't choose No. 8 is because everyone thinks that wearing No. 8 is a very powerful person, and if you choose No. 8 jersey as soon as you come, you may be targeted by other players!"

Ha ha……

In other words, if I don't wear size 8, I won't be targeted?

As a grassroots person, he actually received a weekly salary of 3000 and was valued by the higher-ups. Even if I chose No. 38 or No. 48, I would still be targeted!
I have already been mentally prepared for the harsh working environment!

Just do it if you don't accept it, is the code of conduct for Lao Tzu after his rebirth!
Gu Ran immediately said with a flat expression: "Then let them target it, and I will let everyone see whether I can afford to wear this size 8."

Rick was slightly taken aback, and then gave a thumbs up, "Awesome."

Gu Ran said: "There are still more than ten minutes before we gather, and I definitely can't train now, Rick, please find me a private room, I want to be alone for a while."

"Okay, please come with me."

Rick immediately took Gu Ran into a rest room.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Ran took out MaxxRT's app sample and business plan to study it.

Their APP is still doing well, but the function is a little single.

But this is understandable, after all, their original intention was to watch the game with Gu Ran on their mobile phones.

However, since the public relations fee of 10 pounds has been spent, it cannot be so monotonous.

Their business plan is fairly detailed, from the crowdfunding list to the equity allocation, it is very professional.

It's just that there is still a blank for future development.

After reading it, Gu Ran found the contact information of MaxxRT and others, and made a phone call.

When the phone was connected, Gu Ran said directly in Chinese: "Maxx... RT, right? I'm Gu Ran."

"Ah! Gu Ran!" MaxxRT on the opposite side exclaimed excitedly, "I really didn't expect you to call us so soon!"

Gu Ran said: "I've read your app and proposal, and you've done a good job. I've also told the club's executives about your purchase of online copyrights, and they've agreed. If you're free tomorrow, you can come to the club for an interview with Mr. Les Reed. He will help you with issues related to League One and the Football Association."

"Really? Great!"

"Oh yes! Our APP is finally ready for sale!"

"In the future, you will be able to see Gu Ran playing football in China!"

"Gu Ran, you are too fast!"

The excitement on the other end of the phone was about to explode.

shit...

I'm not the one who does things fast...

Gu Ran smiled, "By the way, I still have a few questions to tell you."

Gu Ran immediately gave a general account of the £10 public relations fee for the online copyright fee of the League One and the Football Association.

After listening to it, MaxxRT and others suddenly became a little worried.

Their domestic crowdfunding is only 100 million yuan, and an online copyright public relations fee is 10 pounds... This is obviously beyond their expectations.

Gu Ran said: "This 10 pounds can help you secure a large network copyright, that is to say, not only can you watch it on the mobile app, but also on the computer, and you can also watch it on the TV through the phone screen. So it is still very cost-effective. And you don't have to worry about this money, I have already paid for you."

"Ah this!"

"Gu Ran, what a shame!"

"More than 500 of us crowdfunded 100 million yuan, and you alone contributed nearly 100 million yuan!"

"Brother Ran, you are the biggest shareholder of our project!"

"Haha, with your participation and investment, we will definitely make a fortune this time!"

"Let us become bigger and stronger, and create greater glories!"

"Tonight's project must arrange some high-end games!"

"Brother Gu Ran! Come along too! Let's listen to the music together!"

Gu Ran: ...

Are these people really my fans?

Why are my fans so rude?

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "...Manchester is too far to go back and forth."

"Haha! Well then, we know that you have just joined the team and you still need to train, so there will be opportunities in the future!"

"Let's try the depth for you first..."

"Hahaha!"

Then, Gu Ran put forward some very advanced suggestions, such as not just doing professional football live broadcasts, but open live broadcasts, so that all broadcasters can participate, focusing on supporting sports and game live broadcasts, etc.

Gu Ran said all the trends of the live broadcasting industry in the next ten years in one breath.

After MaxxRT and others listened, they all gasped in surprise!

Gu Ran's consciousness is too advanced!
Some suggestions, they can't understand, but it sounds very good!
When the two sides were chatting vigorously, Rick knocked on the door, "Gu, it's time for your enlistment ceremony to begin."

"Okay, let's come—brothers, I should go, and I will work hard on the live broadcast app in the future."

"Okay Brother Ran!"

"Come on, Brother Gu Ran! We are all waiting to see you play!"

"Okay, goodbye." Gu Ran hung up the phone, followed Rick out of the private room, and headed to the first team training ground.

——Finally going to meet the first team!
At this time, players from Southampton's first team and reserve team gathered in groups of three or four.

Their topic naturally revolved around the upcoming newcomer Gu Ran.

"Hey, have you heard? The club just opened a new contract for that Chinese player, and his weekly salary has reached 3000 pounds!"

"Fack! Taller than most of us?"

"Why? A grassroots who has never been in a professional youth training camp, but has only played a few amateur school team games, actually gets more than us old people who have played professional games for more than ten years?"

"I also heard that he just took the No. 8 jersey from Adkins' head coach."

"What? A guy who has never played a professional game, dare to wear a jersey with a number up to 10, and it is the team's brain-level No. 8 jersey?"

"Damn Farke, you're so arrogant! I only dare to choose No. 27, not No. 8! This kid is really too arrogant! He just doesn't pay attention to our seniors in the team!"

"The club also held a special entrance ceremony for him? Isn't this too embarrassing for him?"

"Isn't it! The club's doing this is obviously to make us veteran players who have worked so hard for the club feel disappointed!"

Some players also whispered: "But... I heard that Liverpool and Manchester City have offered him prices, and Manchester United and Chelsea are also paying attention to him. Maybe he is really strong."

"Hmph, what can a Chinese rookie do?"

Haldin sneered and said, "I've seen that Chinese rookie during the physical examination. He's not good at all! If it's in the professional arena, he would be injured and fall to the ground! Anyway, I'm not used to him. As long as it makes me unhappy, I'll let him know who is the boss here!"

"Listen to me. When that kid comes, we will boo him wildly to let him know that it is not that simple to become a professional player!"

"That's right, let him know that we old players are not easy to mess with!"

"That's right!"

First team players and reserve team players responded one after another.

At this time, head coach Adkins and his assistant coach Andy Williams, wearing training uniforms, walked into the training ground.

Only then did the players of the first team and the reserve team gather lazily, standing crookedly in four rows with their thighs splayed and arms folded.

Adkins glanced at him calmly, "Hi everyone, I'm your new coach, Nigel Adkins."

"The one next to me is my assistant, Andy Williams."

"From today, the two of us will work hand in hand with you gentlemen to achieve the goal of hitting the British Championship."

The players applauded sparsely, and many players snickered softly.

Southampton only ranked mid-range in League One last season.

As soon as the new coach Adkins came up, he said that he wanted to hit the British Championship. It is no wonder that some players laughed.

In their view, this is simply impossible.

Coach Adkins glanced over the laughing players, secretly remembering their appearance in his heart.

Then, Coach Adkins said in a calm voice:
"Next, please welcome a new member together:"

"A Chinese from the Southampton High School team. He plays as a left back on the field. Our new No. 8——Gu Ran."

Before the words fell, the players present burst into ear-piercing sarcasm and laughter!
"Southampton High School team?"

"Hahaha, I'm going to laugh my teeth out!"

"I'm about to stop laughing, send me to the team doctor!"

"Saints, saints, are you reduced to an amateur player who depends on China?"

"I feel like we're going straight to compete for the League Two title next season."

"Hmph, next season? I'm going to run away during the winter window!"

Amidst these jeers, Gu Ran, who was wearing the Southampton school team logo, walked into the training ground calmly.

The players laughed even louder, especially the main left back Haldin laughed the loudest.

But these harsh voices did not affect Gu Ran's mentality at all, but only made Gu Ran's steps more firm and steady.

Gu Ran knew very well that among these sneers, there was jealousy and discrimination, and many of them were just joking around.

...Don't worry, soon you will know who is the father.

The more you ridicule now, the more affectionately you will call Dad in the future.

Gu Ran calmly walked to the front of the queue, and introduced himself calmly: "Hi everyone, I am the left back from the Southampton High School team, Gu Ran."

Haldin took the lead in hissing wildly.

The other players also booed and laughed.

The scene became somewhat uncontrollable.

Coach Adkins wanted to stop it, but in the end he chose not to interfere, just stood aside and observed silently.

He felt... This kind of situation that others cannot bear the pressure seems to be no problem for 17-year-old Gu Ran.

Gu Ran looked at the team members calmly.

It was only after the booing and mocking players stopped that Gu Ran sneered and said, "I don't think it's shameful to be born from the grassroots. I'm proud to be a Southampton High school team player. I helped my school team win the only national championship in school history. But you are laughing at other people's hard work. You are the ones who should feel ashamed."

As soon as these words came out, the training ground was suddenly quiet.

Almost all players' eyes widened in disbelief.

Of course they weren't ashamed of their booing—although it was really shameful—they just couldn't believe that this grassroots rookie in front of them was so hard on them right from the start!

They were laughing at Gu Ran's background, but Gu Ran was laughing at Shameless in turn!
Gu Ran 1v the entire Southampton first team and reserve team!

And it doesn't fail at all!

And the entire Southampton first team and reserve team were speechless by Gu Ran's few words!

Even the head coach Adkins, who always had a poker face, couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Just listen to Gu Ran continue to output: "Yes, my number is 8, my weekly salary is 3000 pounds, my contract is the star of hope, the club's senior management is busy applying for my labor certification, Liverpool and Manchester City offer me transfer offers, Manchester United and Chelsea also want to poach me... Ask yourself, how many things can you achieve? Are you still ashamed to laugh at me? Laugh at someone who is better than you?"

The mentality of the players present was completely blown up!
"Chinese boy! You are so arrogant!"

"Fuck! I think you don't want to be in the first team anymore!"

"I tell you, you've offended all of us now!"

"In this club from now on, there will be me without you! There will be you without me!"

"You are finished! I tell you! You are really finished!"

light light light light ~
There are bubbles under the feet of these out-of-control players!Both blue and white!

The corner of Gu Ran's mouth couldn't help evoking a smile, and he concentrated on sweeping away:
——Left back Dan Harding dropped a blue skill bubble with a close defense +1.

This is not a good skill, but it is also a necessary basic skill for defenders.

Received.

With a slight movement of Gu Ran's mind, he completed the telescopic pick-up in an instant.

Close defense +3.

——Right back Fraser Richardson dropped a blue skill bubble with +1 direct pass from the backcourt.

This skill is also a necessary basic skill for backcourt players.

If you take it away, you can go whoring a few more times when you turn around, and you must stack it to +4 as soon as possible.

——The central midfielder Ricky Lambert dropped a blue skill bubble with step turn +1!
What the hell!

Finally got this skill!

Gu Ran immediately condensed his thoughts, and picked up the step and turn +1 from the air!

In this way, coupled with the stepping and turning skills that he himself knows, Gu Ran can finally start the upgrade mode of this skill!
——Forward Guli Doprado dropped a blue skill bubble with +1 header shot!
This skill is also a very necessary striker skill, take it!

——Frontman Adam Lallana dropped a blue skill bubble of "Brilliant Pass Assist: Brilliance +1"!
Fuck!This is a star skill!Must win!

It really deserves to be the team flower Lallana!It smells so good!
Gu Ran happily condensed his thoughts and collected them from the air.

—— Defensive midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin dropped a blue skill bubble with Chase +1!
This basic skill is also very necessary, so accept it.

- left winger Alex Chamberlain dropped a hotheaded +1 bubble...

Gu Ran: ...

Chamberlain, do you want to see for yourself what you dropped?
Everyone drops positive skills, why did you drop a reverse skill?
