Gu Ran’s previous analysis was completely correct. The Chelsea superstar invited by St. Paul’s Boys’ School was indeed Lampard!
When Lampard walked out of the player tunnel and waved gracefully, the entire Riverside Stadium instantly fell into madness.
All the students were shouting Lampard's name, and many of them were shaking the iron railings of the stands excitedly, as if they were about to rush onto the field to ask for Lampard's autograph.
However, the stadium's security measures are also very good. Basically, there is a specially hired security guard every five meters to maintain order - this is also the pomp of a superstar's appearance.
The players of Triangle River seized the opportunity and immediately ran to Lampard to shake hands, hug and ask for his autograph.
The Bucks players also wanted to join in, but...
The Bucks Steelhorns have a high level of team discipline, and the only boss in the locker room is Coach Carter.
Now it's time to adapt and warm up. Without Coach Carter's permission, no one dares to violate the rules on the field to chase stars.
Coach Carter frowned slightly, then nodded silently.
After all, this is Lampard! One of the best box-to-box midfielders of our time! The midfielder with the most goals in Premier League history!
Not to mention the players of the Bucks Steelers who wanted to get close to Lampard, even Coach Carter himself was itching to do so!
After getting the coach's tacit approval, the players of the Bucks Steelers immediately ran to Lampard to ask for his autograph.
Lampard accepted everyone who came and signed autographs for every player on the field with a smile, showing the demeanor of a big star.
The players who got Lampard's autograph were dancing with excitement.
When it was Gu Ran's turn, Lampard asked with a smile, "Where do you want to sign?"
Gu Ran put his hands in his pockets and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lampard, I'm not here to ask for your autograph."
Lampard was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Gu Ran again, "Oh? Then what do you want?"
I want to have sex with you for free! ——Of course I can’t say what’s in my heart.
Gu Ran said calmly: "Mr. Lampard, I really like watching your games. I think you are definitely a superstar who can go down in the history of football."
Lampard grinned and said, "Thank you."
"But..." Gu Ran changed the subject.
Lampard was stunned.
Not only Lampard was stunned, but the other players around him were also stunned.
Is there anyone who dares to say "but" to a star like Lampard? "Yes, but," Gu Ran continued calmly, "I'll give you a piece of advice. When you retire, don't become a coach. You're a good football player and you have a high IQ, but you're not cut out to be a coach. Really, believe me, you're not cut out to be a coach."
According to Gu Ran's experience in his previous life, Lampard only had a short period of highlight moments after becoming a coach, and then he was dismissed in an embarrassing manner.
Therefore, when Gu Ran said this, he was not only trying to get in touch with Lampard, but also wanted to give Lampard a sincere reminder.
"Hahaha!" Lampard laughed. "You're giving me advice? Boy, you've only played football for a few days? You're giving me advice? Being a coach has always been my dream. You can question my football skills, but you can't question my IQ as a coach, and - you will soon know my level as a coach."
Light~ Although Lampard acted as if he didn't care about Gu Ran's words, a full blue bubble still formed under his feet!
Gu Ran’s words touched Lampard’s heart!
Although Lampard did not appear angry on the surface, he was actually very annoyed in his heart!
As a world-class star, he was pointed at and criticized by a black-haired high school student, but he did not get angry on the spot. This was considered very cultured!
Gu Ran was so happy! He got the skill bubble of a football star!
This is the second time I got a star player's skill bubble for free after getting Beckham! Wait, what did Lampard mean when he said I would soon know his level as a coach? He couldn't have announced his retirement on the spot, right?
Forget it, forget about it for now! Gu Ran suppressed his excitement and focused his mind to check——
Through pass: Guidance +1.
Oh shit!
Right from the start, I got to know Lampard's exclusive core skill! Lampard's through ball is the core tactic of the Chelsea team!
It’s developed, it’s developed!
This star skill is more practical than Beckham's precise long pass and crescent moon scimitar!
Gu Ran quickly and calmly used his mind to collect the "Through Pass: Magic Lamp Guidance +1" through the air.
The blue bubbles exploded brilliantly, turning into a ray of bright light that only Gu Ran could see and merged into Gu Ran's motor nerves.
Gu Ran suddenly felt his thoughts become clear and his limbs became refreshed.
Gu Ran smiled at Lampard and said, "Thank you."
Gu Ran's thank you was sincere, but Lampard felt it was a provocation. Lampard said coldly: "Well, young man, if this is what you want, then you have successfully attracted my attention... But you will soon realize that this is not a good thing."
What the hell?
Magic lamp, are you trying to fight me? Come on! I'm not afraid of fighting you, I'm just afraid that you won't fight me!
Gu Ran was not afraid at all and raised his eyebrows provocatively, "My name is Gu Ran, I play as the left back for the Milwaukee Bucks, number 3, and I'm Chinese."
The players of the Triangle River team behind Lampard were all furious, as if Gu Ran's attitude had offended their God.
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns immediately stood behind Gu Ran, ready to fight at any time! Lampard was stunned at first, then he laughed and gave Gu Ran a thumbs up, "You have guts! So crazy!"
At this time, the DJ on the scene announced loudly: "Dear students, Mr. Lampard will kick off the knockout match today. At the same time, Mr. Lampard will also be the temporary head coach of the Triangle River team today! Let's welcome him with applause!"
As soon as these words came out, the place was boiling with thunderous applause and cheers!
Lampard waved to the stands with pride.
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns looked at each other in astonishment.
Only then did Gu Ran realize the meaning of Lampard's words just now.
Sure enough...we will soon know Lampard's coaching level.
It turns out that this is what Coach Benson called the "mysterious project."
This is really...
Gu Ran felt like laughing.
Putting aside the question of Lampard's coaching level, the fact that St. Paul's Boys' School let Lampard take over as temporary coach just to please him is a bit of a joke, and it also shows that they don't take the Bucks Steelers team seriously enough.
The Delta River team believes that they can easily crush the Bucks Steelhorns today, so they feel that it doesn't matter who is the coach, and they may even be better if Lampard is the coach.
The player roster for the National High School Student Competition is based on a registration system. Players who have not registered cannot play in the game, but coaches are not subject to a registration system.
The Triangle River team also took advantage of this and found a loophole.
Of course, this may also be Lampard's own request for temporary coaching. After all, Lampard's football career has passed its peak, he has won all the awards he deserves, and basically can't get the awards he shouldn't get, so he is more looking forward to making a difference in the coaching position - taking advantage of this invitation to kick off, he can satisfy his coaching addiction.
But the problem is... changing the coach at the last minute is a big taboo.
The players of the Triangle River team have a good foundation and are stronger than the Bucks Steel Horns team, but Lampard is not familiar with the true characteristics of these players. Lampard has never even seen them play football, let alone remember their names.
Moreover, Lampard currently has zero coaching experience.
If this isn't a joke, what is it? ... The boys from St. Paul's School are really making a fuss.
Gu Ran shook his head secretly in his heart.
Amid the noise, the adaptive warm-up time for both sides ended.
——It was said to be an adaptive warm-up, but in fact, both teams lost interest after Lampard came on the field.
Players from both teams returned to their respective locker rooms for final pre-match preparations.
There were bursts of passionate cheers coming from the locker room of the Triangle River home team. Having Lampard as their head coach has indeed greatly boosted the morale of the Triangle River players.
In the visiting team's locker room, the morale of the Bucks Steelers players was very low.
That's Lampard...
Coach Carter glanced at them with a sharp gaze and said with a sneer, "What? Lampard has put you off? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Lampard will rush onto the field and eat you up? Or are you afraid that Lampard will yell at you? Or do you think you are not good enough and dare not face the pressure from a world-class star?"
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns team all hung their heads in shame.
Coach Carter continued, "In Chelsea and the Premier League, Lampard is indeed a formidable presence. But here, in front of me... he is nothing!"
"This is the National High School Championships!"
"And he is just a temporary coach with no coaching experience!"
"Oh my God, I can easily change the formation and make him so anxious and at a loss!"
"Are you afraid of Lampard? I'm not afraid! Not only am I not afraid, but I'm ecstatic!"
"Because before this I didn't see any hope of winning, but since the Triangle River team is so stupid, there is no reason for us not to win!"
"I bet Lampard's pants will be wet after this game!"
Hearing Coach Carter's almost "arrogant" words, the Bucks Steelhorns players were all stunned.
Big sprayer... so mighty and domineering! Then I heard Coach Carter roared passionately: "Tell me - who are you?"
With Coach Carter's encouragement, the main players of the Bucks Steelhorns immediately became more motivated, "We are the Bucks Steelhorns!"
"Tell me, what is the slogan of the Stag Steelhorn?"
"Buck Steel Horns! Fight to the end!" The main players roared in unison.
"That's right!" Coach Carter said sternly, "Listen to me, my boys! Most of you will never play against Lampard on the field in your life! But today, you have a chance to beat the team coached by Lampard!"
"Ten years later, when you hug your wife tenderly, you can proudly tell her that on this day, you and your brothers defeated Lampard! Twenty years later, when your child pesters you to tell him a bedtime story, you can proudly tell him that on this day, you and your brothers defeated Lampard! Fifty years later, when your grandson pesters you to tell you the glorious history, you can proudly tell him--"
All the Bucks Steelhorns players on the field shouted with their blood boiling: "My brothers and I beat Lampard!"
Coach Carter yelled, “I can’t hear you!”
"My brothers and I defeated Lampard!"
"when?"
“On this very day!”
"when!!!"
“On this very day!!!”
The roar shook the sky!
Everyone was so excited that they shouted at the top of their lungs! The door frame of the entire visiting team's locker room was buzzing and resonating! Gu Ran was praising in his heart: Coach Carter is really awesome! The morale of the Bucks Steel Horns team had a major setback, but Coach Carter completely ignited the fighting spirit of the Bucks Steel Horns with just a few words! This is a good coach!
Xiu Tiao's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. "The coach said that in 10 years I will be able to hug my wife and be affectionate with her... I am so excited!"
