The female nutritionist smiled and extended her hand to Gu Ran. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Loina Best, your exclusive nutritionist. You can also just call me Loina."

Gu Ran quickly said: "Hello, Loina, nice to meet you."

Luo Yina smiled and said, "Gu, I have just looked at your physical examination data. I am very happy that your physical data are very good. Your BMI index and body fat ratio are both great. This is really a great start. I think you must be very strict with your diet. Do you have your own recipes?"

"Uh," Gu Ran said honestly, "I don't have any recipes. I usually just eat whatever comes to mind. Besides, my appetite has doubled recently."

Loina was surprised and asked, "Your appetite has doubled? You can still maintain such a good BMI and body fat ratio. You must train a lot every day, right?"

Gu Ran said: "It's okay."

Loina asked, "Besides normal football training, do you do any other sports? If so, please tell me the truth. This is very important for me to tailor your diet and snacks. After all, if you exercise a lot, I must ensure that you have enough calories."

Wow, that’s really professional!

Gu Ran said: "I usually come to the training ground an hour early to practice alone. After the training, I will practice alone for another hour. Oh, and I have my own exclusive one-on-one coach. He is a one-on-one coach who even Mourinho calls crazy. So I think my training intensity should be stronger than other players."

Loina nodded seriously. "If that's the case, then you really need to double the amount of food and snacks in your diet. You can definitely burn them off - are there any other exercises?"

Gu Ran thought for a moment, "Also... I ride a horse about once every two weeks, for about an hour each time."

Rowena praised: "Yes, horse riding is a very, very beneficial sport. Anything else?"

After riding a horse for an hour, I will also ride a human for three hours...

But I am too embarrassed to say it out loud! I also have fans! My fans treat me as a serious person!

Gu Ran cleared his throat. "Others, uh, just wipe the bed, wipe the glass, wipe the floor, wipe the wall, wipe the sofa, wipe the table, wipe the car, wipe the grove, and so on."

Loina smiled and said, "Oh, all the housework you mentioned can be ignored. I think I have a rough idea of ​​how much calories you consume on a daily basis. In addition, as your nutritionist, I must understand your previous diet structure. How about this, tell me what you ate last night. Through your dinner menu, I can probably determine what kind of menu I should customize for you in the future."

Gu Ran coughed lightly, "...Does it have to be what we ate last night? Is what we ate the day before yesterday okay?"

Loina said very professionally, "Just talk about last night. It's easy to make mistakes when talking about other times, and I want the most accurate answer, so please be truthful and detailed. This is also responsible for your own career."

"Well then." Gu Ran said helplessly: "What I ate last night was..."

"Bocuse Neptune Tower with foie gras oil and black truffle sauce, Cannes top-grade caviar seafood platter, top-grade beef tenderloin with oil-soaked French 5A foie gras, French black truffle foie gras sauce with green apple cheese and Austrian platinum caviar, Norwegian smoked salmon with cream mushrooms and herb stewed eggs, Burgundy herb sauce baked snails, Mediterranean cream pine mushroom soup with wild black truffle black gold abalone soup, Oslo sweet and sour oysters with organic vegetable salad rolls, Italian vegetable curry cakes with Chinese Sichuan spicy sauce, Provence potato roasted octopus salad, Haydn Manor Mill roasted three whips with Alaskan snow crab claws gilded Paris sauce, Provence charcoal-grilled venison with pan-fried black currants, red wine-roasted lamb saddle with porcini and black truffle sauce..."

Gu Ran took a breath and said, "That's about it."

...Loina was simply dumbfounded.

Rick next to him couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth after hearing this.

After a while, Luo Yina came back to her senses and said in a trembling voice: "Gu, your diet structure... is beyond my understanding."

Gu Ran smiled helplessly, "Last night's situation was rather special. I was a guest at Hayden Manor."

"Oh!" Rowena finally breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is! I thought you ate like this every day. If you ate like this every day, I really wouldn't be able to help you adjust your diet."

Gu Ran said, "Actually, I usually prefer Chinese food, but I can also accept Western food, and I don't have any dietary restrictions. Loina, just make a recipe for me according to your ideas."

That's right! I'm a professional football player! I can eat any kind of nutritious food just to play football!

Come on, Loina!

——Gu Ran’s career dream is extremely firm.

Loina nodded and said, "Okay, Gu. Then I will customize it for you according to the standard player diet. During this process, you can discuss and modify it with me at any time until we find the diet plan that suits you best and can help you achieve the best training and competition status."

"It's okay, Loina."

"In addition, I want to remind you that from now on, you must strictly follow the diet we agreed upon. In addition, unless there are special circumstances, you must eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three snacks at the club."

Loina smiled and said, "Of course, if you need me to come to your house and make you a nutritious meal, that's fine. But you have to make an appointment with me in advance during non-working hours, and you have to pay for the ingredients and my extra home visit fee yourself - outside of work, I charge by the hour."

It sounds like...

Loina, are you really a serious nutritionist?

Gu Ran quickly said: "Okay, I understand."

"Well, find a place to sit down first, and I'll prepare lunch for you today."

After saying that, Loina turned and walked towards the buffet table.

Rick said, "Gu, I'm sorry I have to excuse myself. I don't have a nutritionist, so I have to go get the food myself."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll go find a seat."

It’s great to have a dedicated nutritionist. Look at our treatment. You don’t even need to pick up the meals yourself.

Gu Ran happily found a booth and sat down.

After a while, Rick came back with a large tomahawk steak, a large plate of cheese baked prawns, a butterfly lamb chop, a pan-fried longli fish, a portion of curry cuttlefish, a large portion of tuna sashimi, and a plate of grilled oysters.

Half of the table was filled with Rick's dishes.

Gu Ran was completely stunned.

Rick grinned, "…There's nothing I can do. This place is close to the sea, so I can only eat seafood."

After saying that, Rick trotted to the buffet counter to continue getting his food.

After a while, Rick came back with a plate of tiramisu, a plate of Napoleon pastry, a plate of red velvet cake, a portion of light cheese, a portion of walnut tart, a pickle double beef patty burger, and a large glass of iced cola.

Most of the table was occupied by Rick's dishes.

Rick rubbed his hands and sat down. "Oh, it's the same stuff every day... I can only make do with it."

After saying that, Rick started to eat up the food in no time.

Gu Ran: ...

Rick, I suspect that you come here to work not for the purpose of making money, but simply for the free buffet...

And I suspect that you are not working fast for work, but to eat earlier...

By the way, the food of Southampton's first team is really good! It really deserves to be a professional club with good configuration in the English Premier League!

Wow, these cheese baked prawns smell so delicious!

With my current appetite, it shouldn't be a problem to eat twenty or so.

But I'm a professional footballer and I expect high dietary standards!

Even if Luo Yina gave me twenty, I would firmly say no and only eat ten! ... Gu Ran couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

After a while, Loina finally came back with the nutritious lunch prepared for Gu Ran.

Gu Ran couldn't wait to take the plate handed over by Loina.

Gu Ran was dumbfounded——

The lunch that Rowena brought was simple.

Two poached chicken breasts and one pan-fried salmon, served with roasted vegetables and brown rice.

There was also a large bowl of green salad with fresh vegetables, boiled eggs and a sauce that smelled a bit sour.

Gu Ran: ...

Where are my delicious cheese-baked prawns? Where is my sizzling Tomahawk steak? Give me some oysters, too!

Is this an appetizer? It must be! Then Loina smiled and said, "Gu, this is the nutritious lunch I prepared for you. How is it? Not bad! From the look on your face, I know you like it very much."

How did you know I like it? Gu Ran rubbed his face, "Loina...what is this!"

Loina explained complacently, "This is a recipe I specially customized based on your body data. This bowl of green salad, in particular, is really rich in ingredients! This bowl of salad contains avocado, kale, fresh spinach, celery, nutritious colostrum, and a unique sauce that I personally mixed. This sauce contains the extremely precious oriental magic herb white snake grass, as well as apple enzymes, oh, and the raw oyster juice that I squeezed myself."

Holy shit…

White snake grass...

Loina, are you an undercover agent sent by the rival club? I have heard of the combination of kale, spinach and milk in my previous life.

The devil Harland made juice out of these things and drank them...

This is even worse than Haaland's magic recipe! I don't want to be Haaland!

Haaland was so hungry that he wanted to eat people when he went on the court!

I want to be Ronaldo - the kind who eats and drinks a lot before the game and never has to control his mouth.

And Ronaldinho too!

Not only did Ronaldinho never control his diet, he was often so drunk before going on the court that he didn't even know who his opponent was! I also want to -

Gu Ran suddenly sighed softly.

no.

I am not Ronaldo, and I am not Ronaldinho.

I can't use their talents to benchmark myself...

I'm not a talented player.

I am a growth-oriented player with a reborn leading basketball IQ.

To grow, you must be self-disciplined!

This custom recipe from Loina is right on target.

If you want to become a top star, you must pay more than ordinary people.

This world is unfair, yet fair.

Even if I have the system to protect me, it is impossible for me to succeed easily without paying any effort and cost.

The system just provided me with an opportunity to pass the peak.

I have better opportunities than others, even better than those excellent players, but at the same time I have to work harder and be more self-disciplined than others! If I want to stand at the top, I must fight with passion!

The taste of kale, spinach, and celery, mixed with white snake grass and enzyme oyster juice, is really...

It’s hard to put it into words.

Gu Ran felt a little nauseous, but forced himself to swallow it.

In a short while, Gu Ran finished the whole plate of salad, and also ate up the chicken breast, salmon and brown rice.

Rick next to him was stunned.

Loina clapped her hands happily and said, "Gu, you are the first player who can eat my customized nutritious meals - this shows that there is nothing wrong with my nutritious meals, it's just that the other players are not professional enough."

Gu Ran said: "Thank you..."

Loina said, "I've also thought of your afternoon snack. I'll use a blender to grind this rich salad into a drink for you."

Gu Ran: ...

Great, I'm already feeling Haaland-like hunger now.

Damn it, I want to eat kids now!!! Rick next to him wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Oh, I really envy professional players like you. There are people who deliver extra meals to you in the afternoon..."

Gu Ran said, "Rick, I don't mind giving you half."

Rick grinned and said, "No, no, I'm not a professional player, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

Gu Ran turned to Loina curiously and asked, "Loina, as a nutritionist, your lunch must be like this too, right?"

Loina smiled and said, "Oh, I study nutrition for athletes, so of course I don't have to eat the same thing as athletes - who would eat this, normal people?"

Holy shit…

I feel deeply offended!

Gu Ran looked depressed.

Then I heard Loina continue: "I eat very simple food, just baked prawns with cheese."

Just eat???

Isn't it just some dry food? Is this diet really healthy? Gu Ran asked quickly: "Do you mean that baked prawns with cheese are also nutritious?"

Luo Yina didn't fall for Gu Ran's trick at all. "No, what I mean is that the price of baked prawns with cheese is higher than other food. Eating a full meal is like earning 100 pounds for nothing."

Gu Ran: ...

Damn, I'm going to report you to the club's top management. No, I'm going to report you directly to the chairman, Katarina! Rick next to him burped, "Gu, you should go to rest, right? Do you need me to take you to the lounge?"

Gu Ran said numbly, "No need, I know where the lounge is, I can go there by myself."

Rick smiled and said, "Oh, that's great, I can stay and eat more then."

Shit! You said you would be my personal eunuch? Oh, you are all lies! I 'll starve you to death! Gu Ran walked out of the first-team restaurant with his head down and went to the lounge to rest.

2pm.

Under the guidance of Rick, Gu Ran went to the locker room of the first team training ground.

The first team's locker room is in the basement of the simple stands at the training ground.

The dressing room is spacious and modern.

The locker room is designed in red and white theme colors, which are also the basic colors of Southampton.

As soon as you enter the locker room, there is a whole circle of large personal lockers connected to sponge cushioned benches so that players can rest and change clothes in a relatively spacious private space.

There is also an assembly area in the center of the locker room, equipped with comfortable seats and sofas, as well as a large tactical board for coaches to explain and arrange tactics.

There is also a special medical area in the room on the left side of the locker room, which is equipped with massage therapy beds and various medical equipment.

The room on the right side of the locker room is the shower area, which, in addition to two rows of shower heads in front and back, is also equipped with an ice bath and a sauna.

Gu Ran couldn't help but secretly admire: It really is worthy of being the locker room of a professional club.

Gu Ran found locker number 8 in a corner.

The number on each locker corresponds to the player's number, but the order of the lockers is not determined by the order of the numbers, but by the player's position in the team.

The main players’ lockers are naturally in the C position which is the easiest to find, and the lockers of other first-team players are lined up on both sides.

The lockers for substitute players can only be in the corner.

But Gu Ran didn't care.

The team's status is earned through playing, not crying.

Gu Ran walked to his locker and opened it.

Whoosh! A disgusting sour smell hit me in the face!

Locker No. 8 was full of garbage. The three newly issued training suits were all cut into pieces. A glaring word was sprayed on the mirror in the locker with yellow paint - monkey.

Gu Ran’s blood pressure instantly rushed to his forehead - damn!

Rick next to him exclaimed, turned around and vomited! He vomited out all the buffet he had eaten at noon.

The entire locker room was instantly filled with the rich smell of fermented seafood.

"Who is this? Who did this!" Rick wiped his mouth and shouted angrily, "They were fine when I came to deliver the training clothes at noon! Who is such a bastard!!! Ugh——"

Gu Ran calmed down instead.

Who else could it be?

You don't need any evidence to know that it must have been done by Haldin and his men.

Moreover, with such a big move, even if the other players did not directly participate, they would definitely watch the fun from the sidelines.

Failure to stop evil is tantamount to participation in it.

Therefore, more than 90% of the players in the first team and the reserve team are inseparable.

Oh, okay.

You want to fight, right?

Let’s start a war.

You think you can make me lose my temper with this little trick? You are not qualified.

You have no idea what kind of ruthless person you are facing.

So, congratulations to you.

Gu Ran sneered, then calmly took off the number 8 nameplate on the locker.

"Rick, you don't need to find someone to clean it up, just leave it like this."

"Okay, I understand. This is to protect the crime scene! This way we can get fingerprints!"

Rick said angrily: "Gu, don't worry, I will help you catch the bastard who did this! I will make him pay the price! I suggest you talk to Old Rice and ask the club's top management to help you track him down! Ugh——"

Rick leaned against the wall and vomited again.

Extract fingerprints?

Rick, have you watched too much CSI?

Besides, when I want to kill someone, I never need to dilly-dally and look for evidence first!

Gu Ran said calmly: "No need, I can handle this matter myself."

Asking the club to intervene when something goes wrong? This is not my usual style.

What kind of punishment can the club impose? They are all professional players. Can they be fired if the whole team commits evil deeds? At most, they will be fined or forced to sit on the bench for a few days.

How can this be enjoyable?

Letting the club intervene will only restrict me!

Gu Ran smiled coldly, "Rick, promise me that you will never let the club know about this, and don't tell anyone."

Rick said in astonishment: "But... okay, you are my boss, I will listen to you."

Gu Ran added: "Also - I have to go to the training ground to train now. You stay here first. When you have vomited everything, you can leave. Remember not to clean up."

After saying that, Gu Ran picked up his sports bag, pinched his nose, held his breath, and walked out of the locker room filled with biochemical smell.

——Putting garbage in my locker so that I don’t have a locker to use?

Well then, no one should use it anymore!

The entire locker room is useless! "Those bastards from Fark's first team! I had such a big seafood dinner at noon, and it was all wasted!"

Rick cursed, "Fuck! Fuck! How dare you treat my boss like this! You have touched my reverse scale! Don't let me know who you are! Otherwise, I will not let you off easily! Fuck!"

Rick glanced at the prawns he had vomited out, which were still covered with gooey cheese...

"vomit!"

Rick leaned against the wall and vomited violently.

The smell of fermented seafood is even stronger than the smell of garbage in the locker.

Within half a year, no, within this lifetime, he didn't want to eat cheese shrimps anymore.
