The game is not over yet.

Gu Ran calmly adjusted his socks and slowly stood up from the grass.

He is the one who takes the indirect free kick. As long as he takes this kick, the game will be over!

Gu Ran limped to the football, ready to kick off.

Belward stood not far in front of him, his face expressionless.

Gu Ran kicked the ball to the front court.

Beep, beep, beep—

The referee blew the whistle and the game ended!

“Win!”

"Hahaha! We won!"

"Awesome! Awesome! We are the Stag Steelhorn!"

"The stupid noble young master is only fit to eat our big mouthfuls!"

All the players of the Bucks Steelhorns hugged and celebrated like crazy! The substitute players, head coach Carter, and teacher Maria, who was carrying a box, rushed into the court together!

"Light~"

Gu Ran heard a clear system prompt sound in his mind.

A blue bubble formed under Belvard's feet.

Gu Ran concentrated his mind and took a look: high-speed dribbling +1.

Ugh!

So cool!

Finally got Belward's second high-speed dribbling skill!

Gu Ran directly collected it with his mind! High-speed dribbling +2! Today's pickup progress 10/10!

Comfortable! Gu Ran felt the peak pleasure of dopamine and adrenaline in his body, and he seemed to be floating.

"Light~"

At this moment, another system prompt sounded in Gu Ran's mind.

"Congratulations to the host. Since the host has perfectly integrated the results of more than 100 hours of training in the official competition, the corresponding physical attribute points have grown."

"Your physical attribute - physical fitness, has increased from 63 points to 64 points."

"Your physical attribute - burst, grows from 65 points to 66 points."

"Your technical attribute - dribbling, has increased from 68 points to 69 points."

"Warm reminder: Attribute points gained through growth cannot be counted towards the talent points for upgrading your personal rating."

Oh shit!

This is so cool! As long as you accumulate more than 100 hours of single-item training, and work hard in official competitions, you can directly gain growth in single-item attributes!

In today's game, I won happily and I was also happy to pick up the prize. What's even more exciting is that I have grown at the end of the game!

and……

What surprised Gu Ran the most was that his initial dribbling attribute was 68 points! This showed that his technical attributes should be inherited from his experience of playing soccer in his previous life.

If this is true, then the passing and shooting attributes, which are also technical attributes, should not be too bad...

"Gu——"

Just when Gu Ran was feeling extremely happy, Teacher Maria came running towards him in her high heels, one step deep and one step shallow.

Those two lights were almost coming out.

Coach Carter ran faster than her and stood in front of Teacher Maria.

Gu Ran: ...

Coach, please make way...

Coach Carter hugged Gu Ran and pushed him to the ground. "Gu! Is your foot okay?"

Coach Carter doesn’t care about anything now, what he cares most about is Gu Ran’s injury!

Although Carter has not yet made it clear that Gu Ran is the new core of the Bucks Steelhorns, in fact, in Carter's heart, Gu Ran is already the new core! Especially after this game! The Bucks Steelhorns have been completely activated by Gu Ran, and now the momentum is strong. If Gu Ran is injured and can't play, Carter will even want to die.

Gu Ran quickly said: "Coach, I'm fine."

Rusty next to him said, "Coach, I have something to do!"

"Get out of the way!" Teacher Maria ran to Gu Ran breathlessly and took off Gu Ran's sneakers without saying a word.

"Teacher Maria, I'm really fine."

"Take it off!" Teacher Maria tore off Gu Ran's socks.

Oh shit!

This is such a quick move! Teacher Maria, do you also know how to take off socks? ? ? Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There was indeed nothing serious wrong with Gu Ran's foot, except that the place where he was stepped on by the spikes was a little red and swollen.

Teacher Maria carefully pinched Gu Ran's foot bones, "Does it hurt?"

Gu Ran shook his head. "The bones are fine, it's just that the skin hurts a little."

Teacher Maria pushed her glasses and moved closer to Gu Ran's feet to examine them carefully.

There was a small skin break right in the middle of Gu Ran's instep, but there was no bleeding.

Teacher Maria said with a tense face, "Luckily I found it in time! Don't move, I'll apply some medicine."

Gu Ran covered his face and couldn't help complaining in his heart: Yes, it's a good thing that it was discovered in time, otherwise it would have healed!

Rusty said cautiously, "Teacher Maria? My head is broken, can you bandage it for me too?"

Maria said without even looking up, "Your injury is fine, it's just a little scrape, it's nothing serious, just put a Band-Aid on it first."

Rusty: ??? Gu Ran: ...

Coach Carter was relieved when he confirmed that Gu Ran was really fine.

Carter looked up at the VIP seats - the seat where old Rice sat was empty.

Carter clapped his hands, "Alright, let's all go back to the visiting team's locker room!"

"Yes, Coach!"

Gu Ran was about to put on his shoes and stand up, but Teacher Maria said, "I just sprayed you with medicine. Wait for the medicine to be absorbed before putting on your shoes. Come, I will help you walk."

Holy shit…

Isn't this too bad? Gu Ran raised his hand and put his arm on Teacher Maria's delicate shoulders, and said shyly: "How can this be embarrassing? Thank you, Teacher Maria."

——There’s no way, this young body is too honest.

Teacher Maria supported Gu Ran's strong back, her eyes full of stars, "You said you would win for me, and you really did it... Gu, you are so great~"

Damn it~ Teacher Maria, please don't praise me like that~ My body is too young, I can't stand your praise! Gu Ran tried hard to control his heartbeat.

After returning to the locker room.

Coach Carter was the last one to come in, holding a bunch of post-game statistics.

"Everyone pay attention, let me say a few words!"

“Everyone did a great job today!”

"I originally expected a draw, but I didn't expect your performance to far exceed my expectations!"

"We got 3 points from those self-righteous noble young masters!"

"According to the latest group standings from the Football Association, Rugby Golden Fleece has won both games and ranks first with 6 points. We have one draw and one win and are ranked second with 4 points. Corsair has one draw and one loss and is ranked third with 1 point. Wild Boar Sir has lost both games and is ranked fourth with 0 points!"

"We have maintained our second place, and our chances of qualifying are very optimistic!"

"yeah!!!"

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns cheered excitedly!

Before, qualifying for the group stage was just empty talk for them, but after this game, qualifying for the group stage is really within reach!

Carter pressed his palms together, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Not only are you guys excited about winning today, I am also very excited. However, we still cannot let our guard down, because our next opponent is the powerful Rugby Golden Fleece!"

"The next game is back at our home ground, we must keep up the momentum and must not lose to them at home!"

"Do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Coach! We have confidence!"

"We are the Stag Steelhorn!"

The bad boys of the Bucks Steelhorns cheered wildly.

Gu Ran was naturally no exception and shouted especially loudly!

Coach Carter nodded in satisfaction. "Very good! Now, I will announce the best player of the game——"

Coach Carter paused deliberately, his eyes swept across the entire locker room, and finally stopped on Gu Ran.

"The player's technical statistics are: 7 fatal passes, 2 of which resulted in goals, 13 successful dribbles, 32 touches, 25 passes, 85% pass success rate, 16 successful 19 confrontations, 4 fouls, and 0 ball losses."

“Fuck…”

"This data is too outrageous!"

"This stat is good enough for playing in a professional league!"

The players of the Bucks Steelhorns were all amazed.

Coach Carter smiled proudly and continued, "This player ran 10.27 kilometers throughout the game, with the longest sprint distance of 57 meters and the highest instantaneous speed reaching 9 meters per second."

"This player is..."

Before Coach Carter could make an announcement, everyone in the locker room focused their attention on Gu Ran.

Apart from Gu Ran, who else in the team can have such a high sprint speed?

Both goals scored by the Bucks Steelhorns are closely related to Gu Ran!

It can be said that Gu Ran carried the whole game by himself!

Just based on the fact that Gu Ran dribbled past the opponent's ace at high speed and passed the ball to himself three seconds later, Gu Ran is definitely the well-deserved best player of the game.

It's a pity that this is just an amateur competition, and there is no substantial reward for the best player of the match...

"That's right! It's Gu Ran!" Coach Carter proudly announced: "Gu Ran's post-match score is: 8.5 points!"

Wow! Thunderous cheers rang out throughout the locker room.

Minato and others rushed to shake hands with Gu Ran! 8.5 points post-match rating!

Even Gu Ran himself was a little surprised.

In fact, Gu Ran was not very satisfied with his performance in the last 10 minutes of the game because of the huge consumption of physical energy, and the all-out defensive tactical strategy that suppressed his strengths in penetration and breakthroughs. So Gu Ran really didn't expect that he would get such a high post-match score.

This is scored according to the internationally accepted scoring method!

Although the opponent is not a professional team, with such a score, there is definitely a chance to join a professional team!

but……

If you want to play in a professional league, there is one biggest obstacle...

Gu Ran took a deep breath and did not think any further. Instead, he quickly controlled his emotions. "Thank you, thank you everyone. I had a great time playing this game! Together, we beat those noble young masters who looked down on us into idiots! Next, I want to work with everyone to defeat the Golden Fleece and advance to the top 16!"

"That's right! Defeat the Golden Fleece! Advance to the top 16!"

"Steel Horns of the Stag! Invincible!"

The whole team started to roar wildly, and everyone's blood was boiling. They wanted to pull the Golden Fleece Team over and beat them up right now.

Coach Carter nodded in satisfaction, "Very good! This is the scene I want to see! Our match with Rugby Golden Fleece will be the day after tomorrow! Tomorrow is a day off, everyone should have a good rest, and the day after tomorrow we will go back to school for recovery training, and the day after that we will play against Rugby Golden Fleece!"

"Now, everyone, go give me a bath! After the bath we will leave here and go home to rest!"

"Yes! Coach!" The Bucks Steelhorns players cheered.

…

After taking the train back to Southampton Station, the players dispersed and went home.

As Gu Ran walked out of the platform and prepared to take a taxi, Teacher Maria followed him.

"Gu, what are your plans tonight?"

Teacher Maria adjusted her glasses and said in a very queenly manner, "Would you like to sit over there for a while?"
