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

On January 1st, Southampton Club received multiple offers from wealthy clubs.

  Manchester City and Chelsea directly announced that they could provide the minimum termination fee and directly contacted Gu Ran's agent Mendes.

  Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal also gave their sincere double-teams.

  Tottenham also made inquiries about Gu Ran.

  Not only the Premier League giants, but also Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga have begun to pay attention to Gu Ran's performance. Bayern in the Bundesliga and AC Milan in Serie A have made offers for Gu Ran.

  The reason why Real Madrid made the offer was because of the recommendation of Ronaldo. Ronaldo is currently Real Madrid's well-deserved number one star. Ronaldo's words are naturally very important to Real Madrid. Mourinho, the current coach of Real Madrid, has seen Gu Ran. After the collection of highlights, he immediately decided to introduce Gu Ran regardless of the cost.

  The reason for Barcelona's offer, in addition to Gu Ran's beast-level performance in the defensive midfielder, is also because Barcelona does not want Real Madrid to get a strong player like Gu Ran. As a rival at the club level, Barcelona does not care what Real Madrid wants. If you don’t want it, just mix it up.

  Bayern in the Bundesliga wants Gu Ran because they are really optimistic about Gu Ran and the strong commercial potential of Chinese players in the Bundesliga.

  AC Milan wanted Gu Ran mainly because of Beckham's strong recommendation.

  For a time, Gu Ran became a super rookie that European giants were chasing after.

  But Gu Ran didn't care at all.

  Gu Ran's heart is very determined, that is, he must at least send Southampton to the Premier League and then transfer away.

  After all, if this continues, Southampton will soon become his own club, and sending his club to the Premier League can be regarded as his own business.

  Of course, with Southampton's strength, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the Champions League, so after playing in the Europa League, if you want to play in the Champions League, you really have to go to a truly wealthy club.

  Before that, Gu Ran can also take the opportunity to improve himself, lay a solid foundation, and grow into a world-class star that can truly compete with Messi and Ronaldo!
  Under Gu Ran's instruction, agent Mendes declined all offers!

  At 1 pm on Saturday, January 1st, the 3th round of the English League One began. Southampton challenged Rochdale away from home.

  Gu Ran, who was suspended for the last game due to accumulating 5 yellow cards, started this game and took on the captain's armband again.

  Because it was known that Gu Ran would not transfer and leave the team, the overall momentum of the Southampton team was very high.

  At the beginning of the first half, Southampton launched a series of attacks, and Rochdale's defense repeatedly found itself in dire straits.

  In the 14th minute of the first half, left midfielder Holmes broke through the inverted triangle and passed back. Gu Ran stepped in from the back row with a violent aesthetic, jumped up from the top of the penalty area, and hit a high-orbit header with a clean header!
  Rochdale's goalkeeper was stunned and stood on the spot!

  The ball is in!
  On the first day of 2011, Gu Ran opened the scoring for Southampton, and Southampton led by 1 goal!
  Then, in the 21st minute, Gu Ran dribbled the ball in the middle and blasted through. After taking down 6 people in a row, he shot directly from the edge of the penalty area!

  The score changed again!

  Rochdale 0:2 Southampton!
  In the 37th minute, the Southampton team got a corner kick opportunity under continuous attacks. Gu Ran kicked the ball with a full moon scimitar and drove the ball close to the goal. Forward Guli jumped high and headed the goal!
  Rochdale 0:3 Southampton!
  The Rochdale team playing at home was obviously very well prepared, but they just couldn't limit Gu Ran's ability!

  Before the end of the first half, Gu Ran blasted through the middle again, and then took a long shot directly from outside the penalty area!
  Rochdale's goalkeeper is powerless again!

  Rochdale 0:4 Southampton!
  Gu Ran is worthy of being called the "King outside the penalty area". Within thirty meters of the frontcourt, Gu Ran can shoot, and the success rate is extremely high!
  In the first half, the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 0:4. In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Gu Ran continued to show his strength.

  The Rochdale team switched to full defense, and the scene was a little anxious for a while.

  But the Southampton team relied on Gu Ran's one-stop blast and scored three more goals in the second half!
  When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the game was fixed at Rochdale 0:7 Southampton!
  The Rochdale team, which was originally ranked 10th in League One, was ruthlessly pinned to the ground by Gu Ran and rubbed against it repeatedly!
  After the game, almost all the Rochdale players were kicked to tears.

  Then, three days later, at 1:3 pm on Tuesday, January 7, in the 45th round of the English League One, Southampton's away game against Notts County began.

  In this game, coach Adkins once again sent half of the main players and allowed Gu Ran to play for the full 70 minutes.

  This is mainly to maintain Gu Ran's competitive state, and at the same time maintain the physical fitness of Southampton's main players in preparation for the upcoming first leg of the League Cup semi-finals against Chelsea.

  In the game against Notts County, Southampton played very loosely. Although half of the players were present, they basically gave up high-pressure strategies and physical confrontation to ensure that the main players would not be injured.

  In the end, Gu Ran easily completed the hat trick.

  However, after Gu Ran was substituted, Notts County recovered two goals through counterattack and defeated the half-main team Southampton with a total score of 4:3.

  Notts County is currently ranked 19th in League One. It seems very bad to lose to a weak team like Notts County. However, for the overall points situation of Southampton, this is the best choice. Southampton The Purton team is still far ahead of the upper reaches of the League One team.

  On Saturday, January 1th, the third round of the FA Cup began. Southampton played at home against Rotherham, the top team in English League Two.

  There is a huge difference in strength between the two teams, and this is Southampton's home court, so there is no suspense in this knockout match itself.

  Coach Adkins sent out almost all the main players in order to keep the main players in good competitive condition. Of course, Coach Adkins also requires all players to paddle and kick, continue to give up high pressure and physical confrontation, try not to foul, let alone get injured, and just maintain a normal offensive mentality.

  Rotherham can actually play against Southampton. After all, Southampton really doesn't press the whole game, but Rotherham is afraid. Southampton is the top team in the English League. The team was completely defeated, and it even reached the semi-finals of the English League Cup, on par with Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham. It also easily beat the middle and lower-tier teams in the English League to 5:0, 6:0, and 7:0. [-], so even if you tell Rotherham clearly that Southampton will not guard you, Rotherham will not believe it.

  What's more, the English second division team also has a very intensive schedule, and Rotherham does not want to waste energy on the FA Cup knockout rounds where it is impossible to break through.

  So at the beginning of the first half, Southampton's defense was very loose, but Rotherham didn't even attack, it was just a mess.

  As a result, the Southampton team relied on the set kick created by Gu Ran to easily win two games in a row.

  In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again, but Rotherham still failed.

  The Southampton team had a strong offensive attack and scored three more goals before the 70th minute, bringing the total score to 5:0.

  After 70 minutes, coach Adkins took the three main players Gu Ran, Lallana, and Chamberlain off the court to rest.

  In the end, Southampton eliminated Rotherham, the first-place team in League Two, 5-0 without any doubt.

  Next, the entire Southampton team will have one day off.

  Coach Adkins requires the main players to sleep for 12 hours and maintain normal food intake during the holidays. No clubbing, no parties, no drinking, no flying, no love, or even Quasi-playing games.

  Do not do any behavior that may cause injury.

  Because, in three days, it will be the first leg of the League Cup quarter-finals!

  On January 1, the players returned to Staplewood training ground after a day off.

  Coach Adkins led the players to begin high-intensity confrontation training and tactical explanations.

  On January 1, the players conducted recovery training and more specific marking and strangulation tactical arrangements.

  On January 1, Southampton's main players gathered early and took the Southampton team bus to Stamford Bridge Stadium in west London.

  There are many teams in London, but according to regions, they can be roughly divided into West End teams and North and South End teams.

  The West End of London is a typical wealthy area, while the North and South Ends are industrial areas.

  This also determines the different styles of teams in the same city.

  Chelsea, Fulham, the English Championship team Queens Park Rangers, which has won the League Cup once, and Brentford, which is temporarily in the League One, all belong to the West End of London.

  The two heroes in North London are Arsenal, a model of the working class, and Tottenham Hotspur, a predominantly middle-class team.

  In addition, West Ham United is also a working-class team in the north.

  British football clubs all have their own exclusive class culture. Although it sounds very classical, class culture is closely related to football culture.

  There is no doubt that Chelsea in 2010 was definitely the peak Blues era.

  Chelsea Club was founded in March 1905, which is not an earlier club.

  Moreover, unlike all other clubs, other clubs first have a team before they have a football field, while Chelsea has a football field for more than a year before there is a Chelsea football team.

  Mills, the founder of Chelsea, built a team because he couldn't sell the stadium.

  In fact, Mills did not want to build a team at that time, because it was too troublesome to create a team, and the teams of that era relied entirely on ticket revenue. If there were no good results, it was easy to be inexperienced and in debt. As a businessman, Mills He doesn't want to take the risk of building a team at all. He just wants the existing local Fulham team to play in his stadium.

  However, Fulham ultimately chose Craven Cottage as their home ground.

  Unable to sell the stadium, Mills even decided to demolish the stadium and build a residential community.

  But, eventually, Mills changed his decision.

  And it all starts with a dog.

  The origin of Manchester United is related to a dog, and the origin of Chelsea is also related to a dog.
