After a while, the Star of Hope's exclusive team doctor, Maf, and exclusive physiotherapist, Gregory, came to the U18 training ground yawning.

There are two words clearly written on their faces - miserable.

They thought that being Gu Ran's exclusive partner would be a job that paid well but required little work. However, Gu Ran wasn't even a formal team member yet, and their workload had already increased several times compared to before.

Not only has the workload increased several times, but it also increased my worry.

With Gu Ran's desperate attitude towards playing football, he was having a great time on the field, but they were worried off the field.

They thought that after the national competition, Gu Ran, as a young man, would have some fun for a while, and they could take the opportunity to take a short vacation or something. However, after the competition, Gu Ran only rested for one day and had to train with the youth team again.

well……

This Chinese guy is really crazy...

This money is too hard to earn...

When Gu Ran saw Maverick and Gregory arrive, he interrupted his training and ran up to them, greeting them warmly: "Good morning, both of you. Today is a great day for training!"

Mave looked up at the gloomy and cloudy sky with little sunshine, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

For a training maniac, as long as there are no meteorites falling from the sky, it is good weather for training, right? The two poor guys secretly complained in their hearts at the same time.

"Yeah, it's such a nice day." Mai Fu said helplessly: "Gu, please allow me to say a few words first. You just went through a very exhausting competition. You should rest."

Gu Ran smiled energetically and said, "Yes, I have rested for the whole day."

In fact, the whole day was not entirely spent on rest. During a 1v10 fight in the back alley of the bar street, Gu Ran also practiced foul moves such as kicking, elbowing, and tackling.

When I got home in the evening, I practiced technical moves such as dribbling, dribbling, dribbling, handball, dribbling, dribbling, dribbling, shooting...

——There’s nothing I can do. My physical fitness and constitution are at this point.

Gregory said helplessly: "Gu, what we mean is that you should rest for a few more days - at least three days, right? We know that you like training very much, but training must be scientific. You are a professional player now, you can't do whatever you want and not train if you don't want to. Similarly, you can't train whenever you want. If you can't pass the EMG test, we will force you to rest even if you want to train again."

Gu Ran asked: "EMG?"

"Yes," Maf continued, "What we usually call EMG is an electromyography tester, which tests your muscle fatigue. Every player on the first team needs to pass the EMG test after an important game or after recovering from an injury. This is science. If your EMG muscle fatigue index reaches 70%, we will force you to rest until your muscle fatigue index recovers to 30%."

Gregory added: "70% muscle fatigue is not an absolute hard indicator, because you are Southampton's rising star and an important asset to the Saints. You are still in the process of growing up, so we will not allow you to come to training when your muscle fatigue reaches more than 50%."

Holy shit…

It’s really professional.

Gu Ran smiled calmly, "Then let's test it."

Mai Fu asked: "If it exceeds the 50% red line, you will go back and rest for 3 days?"

Gu Ran shrugged, "Okay."

"Well, come with us, we'll go to the medical examination center together."

"good."

Gu Ran followed Maf and Gregory out of the U18 training ground and headed to the physical examination center on the second floor of the comprehensive building.

Honami, who was not far away, saw Gu Ran leave and suddenly felt distraught, as if a piece of her heart had been taken away.

At this time, U18 head coach Jason Dodd came to the training ground, and the U18 warm-up training began immediately...

Gu Ran followed Mavericks and Gregory to the medical examination center in Staplewood.

The entire physical examination center is like a small hospital. Even though the first-team players have not returned yet, the physical examination center is still in operation.

There are four doctors on duty here, studying and analyzing the physical data of the youth and junior echelons.

Mave greeted the chief doctor with a white beard, "Good morning, Pal, this is Gu Ran. Gu Ran, this is our Saints' chief team doctor, Dr. Pal Jensen."

Dr. Jensen's eyes lit up. "Aha! Gu! Welcome to the Saints! I'm your schoolmate! I'm also your fan! It's a pity that I couldn't be there to witness you win the championship for Southampton High School, but just by listening to the descriptions of old friends, I can feel how exciting the scene was!"

Dr. Jensen held Gu Ran's hand tightly and shook it excitedly.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Dr. Jensen."

Jensen asked, "I remember that you have a contract with the first-team's rising star, right? How come you got your work permit?"

Gu Ran said: "Not yet."

Yan Sen smiled and said, "I don't think it will be that fast either, but... your labor permit hasn't been issued yet. Isn't it a bit too early for you to come for a physical examination now?"

Gu Ran explained: "Oh, it's like this, the national competition is over, and I don't want to waste this free time. I want to train with the U18 youth team, but I need Mai Fu's permission and need to do some basic tests."

Mai Fu standing by spread his hands helplessly.

Yansen laughed out loud, "You really are the absolute ace of our Southampton High School! Gu, based on your attitude, your success is inevitable. Okay, go for the physical examination. If you need anything, just come to me anytime."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Jensen."

"do not mention it!"

Mai Fu then brought Gu Ran to the testing room.

Because Gu Ran was not undergoing a physical examination before joining the team, he did not need to use any professional testing equipment. However, he still had to have his most basic heart and lung functions checked.

Mai Fu asked Gu Ran to take off his shirt and connected the bio-signal wires to Gu Ran's heart, wrists and ankles to check Gu Ran's heart rate.

In less than 5 minutes, a detailed cardiac report was generated.

Mai Fu carefully looked at Gu Ran's heart report, and then his expression became serious: "Gu, your heart... is completely fine."

Grass……

Maifu, why do you look so unhappy?

Gu Ran smiled unhappily, "Thank you, Mai Fu."

Next is the lung capacity test.

Mai Fu put an oxygen mask on Gu Ran, and asked Gu Ran to stand on the "oxygen load" treadmill and set the speed to the fifth gear.

Gu Ran ran quickly along with the speed of the treadmill.

Pure oxygen enters Gu Ran's lungs through the breathing mask.

Gu Ran felt full of energy and his breathing was extremely smooth and steady.

After completing the 10-minute test, Gu Ran reluctantly took off his oxygen mask and walked down from the oxygen load treadmill.

Mave looked at the generated report and frowned even more:

"Gu, your lung function... is the best lung test I have ever performed."

Gu Ran asked: "Mai Fu, why do you look so unhappy?"

Mave managed a smile, "No, I'm very happy, hahaha."

After completing basic cardiopulmonary tests, the last and most important item is the EMG test.

Mai Fu connected various wire electrodes to Gu Ran's important muscle groups.

Gregory on the side winked at Maf, who nodded secretly and then took Gu Ran to the barbell.

The weight of the barbell was adjusted to 110 kg.

McFadden said: "This is a strength FI test. As a professional athlete, you must lift a barbell that is about 1.5 times higher than your own body weight. You can choose squats or bench presses. The duration of this test is about 10 minutes. Perform 3 repetitions for each movement, with a maximum interval of 15 seconds."

Maf added: "FI index is the abbreviation of Fatigue Index, which is the physical exhaustion index. In addition to the current strength and muscle fatigue test, there is also a full sprint test and a long-term endurance test. As long as these three FIs meet the standards, you can train with the U18 youth team."

"Okay." Gu Ran said, "I choose squats."

As the saying goes, if you do squats well, your girlfriend won’t be able to handle it.

Gu Ran lifted the 110kg barbell and felt a little bit of difficulty.

1.5 times of one's own weight, this is also the watershed between fitness enthusiasts and professionals.

Fortunately, Gu Ran's strength attribute has been increased to 70 points. Although it is a bit difficult, Gu Ran can totally bear it.

Gu Ran followed Mai Fu's instructions and repeated the squats three times with an interval of 15 seconds.

After a full 10 minutes, the strength FI test finally ended.

Gu Ran's body was already slightly sweaty, and his leg muscles were a little sore.

To be honest, this test is very intense, but the point of these tests is to test the limits of muscles.

Mai Fu said: "Gu, if you feel unwell, we can rest for a while, or... just forget it. I sincerely suggest that you go back and rest for a few more days."

Gu Ran smiled and stretched his body, "Don't worry, I feel great now, let's continue."

Mai Fu shook his head helplessly, and then took Gu Ran to a plastic track with a rangefinder.

"Gu, this is the second FI index test. You must sprint at full speed three times, 10 seconds each time. The EMG electromyography device will record your FI index for each sprint. If the distance of each sprint differs too much, you will fail."

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust himself, Gu Ran shot out like an arrow, maintaining a full sprint speed for 10 seconds!

Mave and Gregory beside him were stunned.

The entire indoor test track was only 100 meters long, but Gu Ran ran 80 meters within 10 seconds, including the initial speed.

Gu Ran frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the sprint distance this time.

After all, I had just done squats and I wasn’t wearing professional running shoes, so this data is actually very good.

Gu Ran returned to the starting point, exerted his strength again, and sprinted at full speed! This time, Gu Ran only ran 80 meters away, without any progress or retreat.

After 10 minutes of squats and two consecutive all-out sprints, Gu Ran indeed felt tired.

This is when both physical fitness and constitution reach above 70 points.

Without the improvement of system talent points, it would be difficult for ordinary people, let alone ordinary players, to reach this level.

Therefore, the gap between professional players and amateur players is really huge, even the intensity of the tests is so different.

Gu Ran also saw his room for improvement.

Gu Ran returned to the starting point again, adjusted his breathing, and then sprinted with all his strength -

This time, it was slightly better than the previous two times and was a big step forward.

Mav and Gregory were so stunned that they were speechless.

Not to mention how fast Gu Ran's sprint speed was, the fact that he maintained such a sprint speed three times was enough to show that Gu Ran's body was almost not tired.

But how is this possible? The day before yesterday, the national championship competition was such a physically demanding competition, but Gu Ran recovered completely after only one day? This is too amazing, right? Gu Ran, are you the legendary perpetual motion machine? Seeing that Mave and Gregory were silent, Gu Ran smiled and asked, "You should have passed the full sprint, right? What was the last item?"

Mave said in a trembling voice: "Long, long, long endurance FI test."

Gu Ran said: "Let's get started."

“Okay, okay…”

Mai Fu took Gu Ran to the rowing machine and fitness bike, "Gu, you can choose the rowing machine or the fitness bike. The whole process takes 40 minutes. Both the rowing machine and the fitness bike are set to the fifth gear of resistance. This test may seem simple, but it is actually the most difficult. After the previous few items, your fatigue value has already been reached. The 40-minute ultra-long endurance FI test will only increase your fatigue. Even if you can conceal your fatigue, even if you have a will of steel, the electromyography instrument will definitely analyze the fatigue level of your muscles truthfully."

Gu Ran nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Gu Ran sat down on the rowing machine and started the endurance FI test.

The resistance of level 5 is not too great, but rowing for 40 minutes is definitely a big challenge.

Gu Ran adjusted his breathing while maintaining a steady rowing frequency.

The only sounds in the entire physical examination room were the friction of the rowing machine and Gu Ran's even breathing.

Myv and Gregory stood next to the rowing machine, their hearts full of admiration.

Although the money is not easy to earn, although they really want to take a vacation, although they really hope that Gu Ran can go home and rest, but deep down in their hearts, they actually hope that Gu Ran can pass this EMG scientific test.

Gu Ran is a genius, Gu Ran is the rising star of the Saints.

Nothing could make Mave and Gregory happier than seeing Gu Ran become stronger.

When Gu Ran becomes a world-class star one day, Mav and Gregory will also feel extremely proud.

Because, they can say that Gu Ran, this young and crazy Chinese, is theirs!

More and more people came to the physical examination room to watch. In addition to the four doctors on duty, many staff members in the club and even the cleaning staff ran to the window to watch.

Gu Ran was focused and concentrated on the rowing test.

After 40 minutes, Gu Ran was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked!

The EGM test is finally completed! This set of tests is more tiring than playing an amateur game!

Professional clubs are really different! Gu Ran stood up from the rowing machine panting, feeling extremely sore all over.

Before he could wipe his sweat, thunderous cheers rang out from inside the house and outside the window! Gu Ran realized that he was being watched and waved shyly.

Chief team doctor Jensen came over and said with a smile: "Gu, you are amazing. You actually completed the top EMG test of the first team."

Top?

Gu Ran gasped and looked back at Mai Fu in surprise.

Mai Fu's face turned slightly red, "Ahem, well, yes, I knew you could do it, Gu Ran."

Jensen smiled and revealed: "This level of test is rarely used in Premier League clubs, let alone in the A-League. It is usually a low-level test or a mid-level test. No one at Saints has used and passed this top-level test for three years."

Are there so many people watching me...

No wonder I do feel deeply fatigued!

It turns out that this is used to test Premier League level players! Gu Ran looked at Mai Fu unhappily, "Mai Fu, that's too much!"

Mave blushed and apologized, "Gu, I'm sorry... At first, Gregory and I just wanted to take a break, so we deliberately used the top test specifications. We thought you would back down and give up, but we didn't expect..."

Gregory also said with admiration: "Gu, you are a real strong man. We are really convinced this time! Amazing Chinese people!"

Gregory led the applause.

There was thunderous applause in the physical examination room again.

Gu Ran didn't blame Mave and Gregory for their "little tricks". Instead, he felt a little happy.

After all, being able to persevere through the top EMG test was really a big encouragement! This also meant that he could handle the intensity of training in a professional club with ease! Gu Ran asked, "What were the test results?"

"We'll have to wait a little longer to see the combined strength sprint and endurance FI values."

Beep, beep! As soon as he finished speaking, the EMG electromyograph beeped and a long muscle fatigue test report was generated.

Dr. Jensen got the data report first, and then he took a deep breath with shock on his face!

Gu Ran was also in a state of panic, but on the surface he remained calm, "How is it?"

Dr. Jensen shook his head, "...Unbelievable!"

Grass...

You doctors, why do you all love to play the panting game? How unbelievable is this?

Gu Ran complained bitterly in his heart.

Mai Fu snatched the EMG report and said with an exaggerated expression: "It's over, it's over, it's over."

Gregory was surprised and asked, "Are we going to work overtime?"

Mave nodded bitterly.

The two of them almost hugged each other and cried in front of Gu Ran.

Gu Ran asked: "You two, what's going on?"

Mai Fu said: "Gu, this report is very long, with detailed heart rate changes and muscle contraction ratios, as well as three physical exhaustion indexes..."

Gu Ran said: "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

Mai Fu said: "Gu, after you completed the three FI projects, your muscle fatigue rate is 31.87%."

"Oh..." Gu Ran said, "Does that mean I passed?"

Doctor Jensen said, "More than just passing, Gu, your body is simply too good! You can even start high-intensity training right away! You just played in the National Championships for just one day, and you also went through the top EMG test. In the end, your muscle fatigue level was only 31%! God, the Saints have been sinking for three years, and they are finally rising!"

There was a cheer in the physical examination room! Mai Fu still looked incredulous and asked, "Gu, why is your body so strong?"

Damn, this question must be answered carefully.

Gu Ran smiled calmly, "I have been strong since I was a child, and I recover quickly. In addition, when I have nothing to do, I use the liquid nitrogen cryo-hibernation chamber to restore my body functions."

I can't say I have a system, right? Using the liquid nitrogen freezing hibernation chamber as an excuse is the perfect excuse.

"Liquid nitrogen cryo-hibernation chamber?"

"The kind Cristiano Ronaldo uses?"

"Gu, you are so damn rich!"

Several doctors believed it without a doubt.

Mai Fu asked tentatively: "Gu, do you really not want to rest for a few more days? I always feel that you need to rest."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mai Fu, you have to believe in science. Look, even science says I can do it."

Maverick: ...
