The next morning.
Gu Ran got up early, had breakfast and took a bus to school.
The campus of a private school in Southampton is dotted with slogans reading "Go Bucks Steelers".
Of course, there are also some strange slogans, such as "Gu Ran, my husband, I love you", "Gu Ran, you are my little cutie", "If Gu Ran, my male god, wins the game, we will marry you together".
Gu Ran simply turned a blind eye.
This morning's training was the last one. This training was not held in the previous small-sized training field, but directly in the standard-sized Bucks Steel Horns home field.
Although the Bucks Steelhorns is not an aristocratic public school but just an ordinary private school, the grass of the playing field is still very well maintained.
Gu Ran felt it and felt that he was in good condition.
After the morning training, Coach Carter looked at his watch and said, "Okay, everyone, gather together. The puppies of the Golden Fleece are coming soon. We should go to the door to greet them."
"What?"
"Coach, are we all going to greet them?"
"Coach, why?"
“When we went to Manchester, they didn’t welcome us all, and when we went to Tonbridge, they didn’t even welcome us!”
"That's it! That's it! Coach, don't give them face!"
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns were extremely unwilling to do so.
Coach Carter said in a deep voice: "I know you don't want to do this, but this is tradition. The home team should welcome the visiting team from afar. I don't care whether others want tradition or not, but at least, in Southampton, tradition is glory!"
All the players of the Bucks Steelhorns were silent.
"Let's go, everyone has to go." Coach Carter led the way out.
"Yes, coach!" Although the players of the Bucks Steelhorns were unhappy, they still followed.
After waiting at the gate for more than 10 minutes, the luxury bus of Rugby School finally arrived at the gate of Southampton Private School.
"Fuck! These aristocratic bastards are so good at showing off! They didn't even take the train and then transfer here. Instead, they drove the exclusive bus of their own school team directly here!"
"They actually have their own bus?"
"They are so pretentious! Usually only professional teams have team buses. After all, it is convenient for professional teams to use when playing in league games. But they are a high school team like us. They only have a few home and away games a year, and they actually got themselves a private bus!"
"What the hell are you showing off for! I get mad just looking at you!"
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns have begun to lose control of their temper.
Rugby School is one of the nine aristocratic schools in the UK. In terms of school points ranking, Rugby School is not as good as Tonbridge School, but in terms of social status, Rugby School is far superior to Tonbridge School.
Tonbridge School is just a school for aristocrats, while Rugby School was originally a royal school. Even now, it is a school where high-ranking aristocrats gather.
If the arrogance of Tonbridge School is engraved on its face, then the arrogance of Rugby School is engraved in its bones.
The aristocratic students of Tonbridge looked down on the common students from the towns and villages, while the aristocratic students of Rugby School looked down on the local aristocrats in the urban-rural fringe of Tonbridge.
This is a clear chain of contempt.
The luxurious bus of Rugby School stopped at the main gate of the private school in Southampton.
All the players of the Bucks Steelhorns lined up with stern faces, maintaining the glorious tradition of Coach Carter.
However, those arrogant children of high-ranking nobles all sat in the car carelessly, with no intention of getting out to greet the Bucks Steelers players who came to greet them, and they didn't even have the intention of walking into the Southampton campus.
Some of the blond curly-faced guys were still shouting in the car:
"Hey, driver! Keep driving, why did you stop?"
"It's so damn smelly here, the whole street smells like dead fish!"
"I'm going to stay in the car. I'm going to throw up as soon as I get out!"
After these guys shouted like this, all the players of the Golden Fleece Team held their noses and refused to get off the bus.
The bus driver actually started the car and prepared to drive directly into the Southampton private school.
Coach Carter frowned immediately! The players of the Bucks Steelhorns also clenched their fists.
These arrogant aristocratic bastards have no sense of etiquette at all!
The Bucks Steelhorns welcomed the Golden Fleece Team with traditional etiquette, but the Golden Fleece Team didn't even want to get out of the car and wanted to drive directly into the campus!
This is fucking what needs to be done!
"Lights, lights, lights~"
All kinds of blue and white bubbles were popping under the feet of the team members.
Gu Ran took a quick look and didn't see any special skills, so he didn't pick it up.
Today's 10 pickup progresses must all be taken from these ignorant noble brats!
Without waiting for Coach Carter and other team members to make any move, Gu Ran stood directly in front of the restarted bus, with his head held high!
"Hit him, hit him!"
"How much are Asians worth? I'll pay for the medical expenses!"
There were all kinds of arrogant shouting in the Golden Fleece bus.
Of course the bus driver didn't dare to actually hit Gu Ran, he just stepped on the accelerator hard, trying to scare Gu Ran away.
Gu Ran was not moved at all! With 12 years of experience, he knew very well that barking dogs don't bite! Gu Ran raised his chin in contempt and made an international greeting gesture to everyone in the car.
What should you do if your stupid kid doesn't know how to behave? It doesn't matter! Today your Chinese wild dad will teach you! Before the driver could step on the accelerator for the second time, all the players of the Bucks Steel Horns rushed forward and blocked the front of the bus!
Gu Ran is not alone!
At this moment, the entire Bucks Steel Horns team became one! Coach Carter, who was originally a little annoyed, saw this scene, and the anger on his face was immediately replaced by a faint smile on the corner of his mouth!
That's right, my little ones, that's it!
We have to do our traditions!
However, when others dare to trample on our dignity, we must unite and fight them!
——Coach Carter also stood next to Gu Ran!
All the players of the Bucks Steel Horns team were suddenly excited!
Gu Ran shouted loudly: "Get out of the car!"
"Get out of the car! Get out of the car! Get out of the car!"
All the players of the Bucks Steelhorns cheered along.
The windows of the Golden Fleece bus were vibrating and resonating! The students of Southampton Private School, who had learned about the confrontation at the school gate, all rushed out of the campus, stood behind the Bucks Steel Horns, and shouted with the Bucks Steel Horns: "Get out of the car! Get out of the car! Get out of the car!"
Just this one wave made all the nobles on the Golden Fleece bus so frightened that their faces turned pale and their calves trembled!
They are used to being arrogant in their own territory. Where have they ever seen such a scene?
At this time, the car door opened and the head coach of Rugby School's Golden Fleece team stepped out of the car.
Coach Carter then signaled the Bucks Steelhorns players to step back.
——After all, this is the home court of the Bucks Steelhorns. If the Rugby School Golden Fleece team is unable to play in the game due to a fight, the Bucks Steelhorns will be directly sentenced to lose the game 0:3.
If the Bucks Steelhorns want to qualify, they must not lose! And they must not fight!
Obviously, the opposing Golden Fleece coach is also well aware of this.
The head coach of the Golden Fleece team touched his hairless hairstyle, then walked up to Carter with a smile, "Hello, Coach Carter, long time no see."
Carter smiled contemptuously, "Haha, Coach Wilkinson, the last time I saw you, you were still working for the Villa people, right?"
All the Bucks Steelhorns players present smiled knowingly.
The word "Villa Man" is the nickname of the Premier League team "Aston Villa".
But the word also has another literal meaning: villain, thug.
Coach Carter's meaning was clear - Wilkinson, who once served as Aston Villa's youth team coach, was working for the villain.
Wilkinson's smile was a little awkward. "I have been the head coach of the Golden Fleece for a long time. Sorry Carter, I didn't know you were here to greet us. I thought your players were just... ordinary students."
Coach Wilkinson's words were also full of sarcasm.
After all, the players he brought to the Golden Fleece Team were all very strong, and many of them were rugby players.
Coach Carter chuckled. "Really? Sorry, I didn't know the people on the bus were the famous Rugby Golden Fleece. I thought they were squealing piglets."
After these words were spoken, Coach Wilkinson and the noble young men behind him who had just got off the car all looked a little embarrassed.
Lights, lights, lights, lights! White bubbles fell all over the floor! These glass-hearted nobles were completely broken by just one sentence.
It all depends on my great efforts!
Gu Ran quickly scanned it and found that Rugby Golden Fleece's daily training was based on "dynamic confrontational training".
This kind of dynamic adversarial training is much better than ordinary adversarial training.
Moreover, to be honest, the sparring partners of the Rugby Golden Fleece team basically have a background in rugby, so the dynamic confrontational training of the Rugby Golden Fleece team is better than general dynamic training.
Gu Ran remained calm and picked up seven of the bubbles that read "Dynamic Confrontation Training +10" with his mind.
After picking up the items, Gu Ran felt that the muscles all over his body had become much denser.
The automatically exchanged talent points have also accumulated to 4! Gu Ran couldn't help but secretly take a deep breath, and his heart was more confident.
There are still three more chances to pick up items today. Let's see if we can get some useful blue skills from the Rugby Golden Fleece players during the game! Coach Carter said coldly, "Since you've all gotten off the bus, let's walk in. There's only one restaurant in a country school like ours, and everyone eats in one restaurant. If you go too late, there's nothing to eat."
