Tyas Browning...

This is a name worth putting down the instant noodles in your hand! Gu Ran read it word by word several times and confirmed that it was this name! If the memory of the previous life is correct, this guy is the future naturalized player of the national football team, Jiang Guangtai! Jiang Guangtai was indeed born in Everton's youth training camp. He played until July 2010, when he was promoted from Everton's youth team to Everton's U18 youth team.

He had a part-time contract in the U18 youth team until he was promoted to the U21 youth team in 2012, when he got his first professional player contract. It was not until 2014 that he joined the first team and officially landed in the Premier League.

It was not until 2019 that he completed his naturalization, recognized his ancestral roots, and officially changed his name to Jiang Guangtai.

Later, because the character "Tai" had too many strokes to write...he changed his name to Jiang Guangtai.

To be honest, Jiang Guangtai is a player with some skills.

He has been selected for the England U17, U19 and U21 youth teams, which is enough to show that he is not a fake.

As a defender produced by Everton's youth training system, Jiang Guangtai possesses the traditional advantages of an English central defender, such as a strong physique, excellent jumping ability, strong frontal defense and high-altitude heading, good positioning sense, and advantages when intercepting the opponent's long passes and breakthroughs.

But...his disadvantages are also obvious.

As a central defender, he has a slow turning speed and his body is not flexible enough. In emergency clearance situations, his awareness often keeps up, but his body movements cannot keep up. His passing ability is also poor, especially at critical moments when a quick counterattack is needed.

The idea of ​​modern football is no longer the WM idea where forwards are only responsible for attacking and defenders are only responsible for defending, but it requires all players to have the ability to defend and attack.

Jiang Guangtai’s biggest weakness is that although his defense is solid, his offensive attributes are almost zero.

Such purely defensive central defenders are becoming less and less popular.

It was also because of this that Jiang Guangtai was promoted to the first team step by step with great difficulty when he was in Everton.

Judging from his later influence, Jiang Guangtai is definitely an overrated star.

But to be honest, even so, even if Jiang Guangtai is only good at defense, he is definitely a head above the Chinese national team.

You want a bicycle, right?

So, no matter what, Gu Ran was still looking forward to meeting players of Chinese descent in the British High School Football Championship! - Next game, go after Jiang Guangtai!

Gu Ran continued to check the key players of the Angel Wings team.

Another familiar name popped up - Captain/Midfielder: Ross Barkley!

This guy is also a top player produced by Everton's youth training and is known as the "new Gascoigne".

At the end of October 2010, Ross Barkley received a professional contract from Everton, and then in the 11-12 season, he directly landed in the Premier League! This promotion speed is definitely a star-level one.

In Gu Ran’s previous life memory, Ross Barkley was called the new hope of England’s midfield.

Ross Barkley is a versatile midfielder who can play as a classic attacking midfielder, central midfielder, winger and shadow striker. He has a broad vision, accurate passing and is an expert in passing the ball.

In 2018, it was the peak of Ross Barkley's career. He transferred to Chelsea for 15 million pounds and took over Lampard's No. 8 jersey, becoming the new generation of Lampard.

Unfortunately, Ross Barkley's career started to go downhill later on.

After all, there is only one Lampard in the Premier League.

But no matter what, Ross Barkley can be regarded as a top-notch Premier League star in the future.

This is also the first time that Gu Ran has faced a real future star.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

It is normal for the Angel Wings team to win consecutive games since they have quasi-stars like Rose and Jiang Guangtai.

While eating instant noodles, Gu Ran continued to study the information of other players on the Angel Wings team.

According to the information, 8 players of the Angel Wings team have trained in the Everton Youth Camp. This is the team with the most semi-professional players among all the opponents of the Bucks Steel Horns.

This also means that the Angel Wings team's coordination is definitely much better than that of ordinary school teams.

According to intelligence data, the Angel Wings team's best formation is 442, and their best tactics are defensive counterattacks and flank breakthroughs.

This is also very similar to the formation and tactics of the Bucks Steelhorns...

This is truly a tit-for-tat battle!

This elimination match will definitely not be that easy, I have to hurry up to train and improve! After studying for more than ten minutes, Gu Ran closed the computer with confidence.

At this time, it was already past 5pm and Annie was still sleeping.

Gu Ran did not disturb her. Instead, he put on his coat, went out quietly, started the car, and drove to Graup Gym.

I was busy doing that with Annie today, and I still have 10 pickup progresses that haven't been used.

As soon as Gu Ran walked into the gym, some strong men immediately greeted him enthusiastically:

"Hey Gu!"

"Are you free again today?"

"Gu, come on, let's practice our waists together!"

"You guys practice, you guys practice..." Gu Ran responded with a helpless smile.

Every time Gu Ran comes to the gym, he attracts the attention of rich ladies, and he always throws the rich ladies' business cards to other gym hunks, so when everyone sees Gu Ran, they treat him like their own brother.

well……

It's becoming increasingly difficult to get free stuff at the gym.

Fortunately, the strong men in the gym also compete with each other secretly.

Gu Ran stayed in the gym for an hour and finally picked up 9 special training bubbles for physical fitness and strength.

The training results have also accumulated to 100 hours, and a new talent point bubble will be automatically exchanged.

Gu Ran did not hesitate and directly added the automatically exchanged talent points to the physical attribute.

The physical attribute immediately increased from 68 points to 69 points.

With a physical attribute of 69 points, he was definitely qualified for amateur-level competitions such as the National High School Championships.

However, if you focus on the professional league, 69 points is not enough.

You need to reach at least 75 points to gain a foothold in the lower-level professional leagues.

Especially when playing in the UK, the field is very competitive and the full-backs require a lot of physical strength, so Gu Ran set a goal for himself: to increase his physical attributes to 75 points by the time of the national championship final.

"Light~"

Just as Gu Ran finished adding physical attributes, a clear system prompt sounded in his mind: "Friendly reminder, if the host obtains and uses one more talent point, the system personal rating can be upgraded to B level."

"When the host's personal rating is upgraded to B level, your pickup range will be increased to 20 meters around you."

"When the host's personal rating is raised to B level, the hit rate of star-level skills used in each game can be slightly improved."

"When the host's personal rating is upgraded to B level, when picking up ordinary white bubbles, there is a chance that the training results of professional players will appear."

"When the host's personal rating is raised to B level, the skill cap obtained by picking up items is increased from +3 to +4."

Oh shit!

The benefits of Class B are awesome!

The pickup range is increased to 20 meters! The hit rate of star skills is slightly improved! White bubbles also have a chance to open the training results of professional players! The upper limit of the pickup skill reaches +4!

Haha! So cool! I’m only one talent point away from leveling up! Gu Ran clenched his fists excitedly.

“Warm reminder: To upgrade from B-level to A-level, you need to obtain and use 50 talent points, and at least 15 sub-attributes must reach 75 points, and officially debut in professional competitions.”

Holy shit…

After hearing the prompt tone, Gu Ran couldn't help but secretly let out a breath of cold air.

It's easy to go from D to C, and it's not difficult to go from C to B. However, going from B to A is like a leap from non-professional to professional! Not only are there talent point requirements, but you can't be biased in one subject, and you must play in professional competitions!

The difficulty of upgrading is getting higher and higher, but... the benefits are also getting higher and higher! After reaching level A, there will definitely be higher rewards! This is already moving towards a true professional path! There is only one pickup progress left today...

Gu Ran continued to walk around the gym.

Another half an hour passed, and Gu Ran still hadn't used up the last bit of pickup progress.

There were white bubbles falling, but they were all from plastic training, not the physical and strength training bubbles that Gu Ran wanted.

Forget it, let’s go home! I don’t know if Annie has woken up yet…

Tomorrow is the last day of vacation. After tonight, we have to prepare for the competition with all our strength. We can’t do that anymore, so…

Ahem, we have to hurry.

Gu Ran left the gym and drove home.

After arriving home, Gu Ran went to Annie's bedroom first.

Before he pushed the door open, Gu Ran heard the sound of "light" in his mind.

Gu Ran's heart sank.

"Anne Hathaway's negative emotion value is 100 points. The system is generating bubbles..."

Sure enough, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

Annie must have been woken up by hunger, and hungry people are most likely to be overwhelmed with negative emotions.

What's more, Anne's depression has not been cured at all. She just felt a little happier these two days because of watching football and painting. Any slight pessimism will be quickly magnified, leading to an overflow of negative emotions.

Gu Ran immediately pushed the door open and walked in, "Annie, I'm back!"

There was no light in the room and it was pitch black.

Anne was wearing only a thin, low-cut black silk nightgown. She hugged her legs and curled up in a dark corner, her pretty face full of tears that she hadn't had time to wipe away.

I feel pity for her!

Gu Ran immediately rushed forward in one leap.

When Annie saw Gu Ran, she immediately threw herself into his arms, "Gu! Wuuuu! Where have you been? When I opened my eyes, I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought..."

Gu Ran stroked Annie's hair and comforted her, "I'm back, aren't I? Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's okay, I just went to the gym. Besides, with a beauty like you at home, how could I bear not to come back?"

Holding Gu Ran's solid body and listening to his gentle words, Annie's negative emotions were instantly alleviated.

Annie complained: "Gu, I think I'm probably poisoned."

Gu Ran was stunned and asked quickly, "What? Poisoned? Why did you just tell me? Go to the hospital right away!"

Annie said, "I was poisoned by you."

Gu Ran said quickly: "No! I..."

Annie was stunned for a moment, then her face was full of shyness, and she kept hitting Gu Ran's chest with her fists, "Ah! Gu Ran! You are so annoying! That's not what I meant! What I meant is that I have been poisoned by your love! I feel like I can't live without you! You..."

I was so scared! I told you, Sophie and Maria are fine, how could you be poisoned?

So you were talking about love poison!

Gu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Um-Annie, are you hungry?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Then I'll go cook for you. What do you want to eat? How about scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

Annie coquettishly punched Gu Ran's chest with her fists, "Ah! You are so bad! Don't mention scrambled eggs with tomatoes again! Otherwise I will ignore you!"

"Hateful! Hateful!" Annie beat him shyly again.

Ah! So cool!

The beating from the goddess is so enjoyable!

Gu Ran was almost floating.

However, Gu Ran quickly calmed down and took advantage of this opportunity to use his mind to collect the red talent point bubble dropped by Annie! This was the last talent point before the upgrade!

Gu Ran directly added the newly acquired talent point to physical fitness!

The physical attribute crossed the 60-point mark and reached 70 points! Gu Ran suddenly felt full of new energy - there was no problem playing another half.

Light~ "Congratulations host, after your unremitting efforts, your personal rating has been upgraded from C to B."

So cool!

Next, it’s time to work hard to become a true A-level professional player!

Gu Ran patted Annie's waist and hips, "Okay, okay, I'll go make you a good old BJ...spaghetti."

Annie's eyes widened immediately, "Old BJ's spaghetti? It sounds like it must be delicious!"

Since you can’t buy Chinese homemade noodles in British supermarkets, you can only use pasta instead. Otherwise, I can really make a bowl of authentic BJ fried noodles for Annie.

Gu Ran came to the kitchen, put on an apron, and started to work.

Annie followed behind Gu Ran, fearing that Gu Ran would disappear if she didn't keep a close eye on him.

Making the old BJ fried sauce is quite complicated. Considering that Annie likes sweet food, Gu Ran used scrambled eggs with tomatoes as the sauce instead.

While Gu Ran was cutting tomatoes and beating eggs, Annie hugged Gu Ran's waist from behind.

"Wow~ Gu, how did you remember so many complicated steps?"

Gu Ran: ...

What a complicated procedure! Isn't it just dicing tomatoes and beating eggs into a bowl? Isn't this something that anyone can do? Gu Ran was almost unable to bear it.

“Wow~”

This time, without waiting for Annie to finish, Gu Ran put down the spatula, lifted Annie up with his strong hands, and put her on the dining table, "...Do you still want to eat?"

Annie! I really, really have been putting up with you for so long! The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became flirtatious.

Annie sat obediently at the dining table and said coquettishly, "...I want to. Gu is so mean, but...I like it."

Damn it... this annoying little devil! Gu Ran wanted to fuck Annie right there.

But we always have to want people to have enough food, right?

Gu Ran took a deep breath, tried hard to control his violent thoughts, and picked up the spatula again.

"If you make trouble again, I will tie you up."

"You are the one who can't bear to let go." Annie giggled, slid down from the dining table, and hugged Gu Ran from behind, rubbing against the edge of danger.

——At this moment, Anne no longer has the airs of a Hollywood princess. She is just a little cat-like woman who is nourished by love and immersed in happiness.

"Wow~" Annie continued to blow into Gu Ran's ear, "It smells so good! Gu, I can't stand it anymore, can I eat it now?"

Gu Ran gritted his teeth, forced himself to suppress his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "No, this is stewed meat."

"Can't I eat braised pork?"

“It’s edible, but it has to be paired with noodles to be a proper Scottish noodle dish.”

"Isn't it the old BJ spaghetti? Why did it become Scottish spaghetti?"

"Because Scottish noodles are a Scottish territories that only Chinese people understand."

Anne: …

"Forget it, I can't figure it out. I just want to eat now."

Gu Ran said, "It will be ready soon, after the pasta is cooked."

“Ahh! I can’t stand it! I really can’t stand it!”

Anne kept swallowing, smelling the increasingly strong aroma in the kitchen.

A few minutes later, the pasta was finally ready.

Gu Ran first served Annie a large bowl, and then poured the previously fried tomato sauce on the spaghetti.

Annie couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

"Be careful or you'll burn your mouth!" Gu Ran quickly grabbed Annie's arm.

If such a beautiful big mouth gets burned, there will be no fun!

Gu Ran took the chopsticks and said, "Annie, don't be impatient. This is not the way to eat noodles with gravy. The proper way to eat it is to stir it first, so that the flavor of the gravy can be fully mixed with the noodles. This way, the temperature of the noodles can be moderate, and the taste of the noodles and the gravy can be perfectly blended. You definitely don't have this proper technique, so let me help you stir it."

Annie looked at Gu Ran gratefully, "Gu, you are so kind to me."

Is there any need to say more?

Gu Ran picked up the bowl with his left hand and the chopsticks with his right hand, stirring the food like a storm.

The noodles in the bowl were almost stirred away, but the sauce did not spill out at all. On the contrary, the aroma of the sauce was completely activated and completely integrated with the noodles, truly achieving the state of "I am in you and you are in me".

Annie was stunned by Gu Ran's hand speed, "Gu...you are really fast!"

Stop it! I call this a high frequency! Gu Ran held his breath and quickly stirred 180 times before handing the noodles to Annie.

Annie was so hungry that she couldn't wait to take a bite. She was so excited that tears filled her eyes on the spot!

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

"I swear! This is the best spaghetti I've ever eaten in my life!"

“Ahhh! It’s so delicious!”

"I don't want to eat anything else anymore. I just want to eat this Scottish noodles!"

Anne trembled with excitement with every bite.

Gu Ran looked at Annie's troubled appearance, and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile, "If it tastes good, eat more, so you won't be hungry at night."

Annie shoved the food into her mouth and said incoherently, "I'm going to eat three big bowls today!"

Gu Ran laughed, "Impossible, you can't eat it."

...half an hour later.

Anne held her bulging belly and burped without any ladylike airs.

There were indeed three bowls piled up in front of her.

Gu Ran: ...

It seems that Anne was really exhausted after the two rounds last night and this afternoon.

Annie looked at Gu Ran with resentment, "Gu, if you keep going like this, you're going to make me fat."

Gu Ran said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you eat a lot, just do more exercise."

Annie's pretty face turned red, "...hateful!"

Eh? Annie, you misunderstood! I'm not talking about that kind of exercise! I'm talking about serious exercise!

Of course, that kind of exercise does burn more calories than regular exercise and is more enjoyable, but I'm really not kidding!

Annie stood up, holding onto the table. "I'll go wash the dishes."

Gu Ran said, "Well, I'll wait for you. After you're done, we'll go for a walk on the beach."

"Okay." Annie said happily.

Annie quickly washed the pots and dishes, then put on a coat and went for a walk on the beach outside the villa with Gu Ran.

This time, the two held hands and walked intimately on the beach.

The relationship between the two has made a qualitative leap compared to the last time they walked on the beach.

When the stars rose over the sea, Annie leaned on Gu Ran's shoulder and breathed a sigh of satisfaction, "The sea is so beautiful under the starry sky."

Gu Ran lifted Annie's chin and said, "No, you are the most beautiful under the starry sky."

Annie couldn't help but kiss Gu Ran.

The way foreigners express their feelings is so simple and direct, they rarely hide anything.

This kind of romance against the backdrop of the starry sky and sea was a romance that Gu Ran had never experienced in his previous life, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Now, this kind of romance is not only in our hands, but we can also control it however we want.

"It's windy, Annie."

"Um."

"Shall we go home then?"

"Huh? So early?" Annie asked in surprise.

Today's walk was only half the distance of last time.

Besides... this is the seaside! Is there ever a day without wind?

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "I have important things to do when I get home."

Annie's pretty face turned red, and she said coquettishly with a hint of pride, "Hate... Am I that good? Why are you always thinking about that kind of thing?"

What the hell? I'm not! I really have something serious to do!

Gu Ran quickly explained: "Annie, you misunderstood, I actually want to paint a picture by hand."

It's really hand-painted! I should also take some time to start implementing my Hollywood side job plan.

Annie hit Gu Ran on the chest and said coquettishly, "You're still talking! Don't I know you?"

"I really, this time... Annie, you really misunderstood!" Gu Ran had no words to say! Annie took Gu Ran's hand, her eyes full of lust, "Okay, actually I'm just like you, my mind is full of that kind of thing, I was never like this before - let's go home."
