"Boss! I just saw that Chinese guy and his fat assistant go to the locker room."
"Really? Hahaha! Let's go! Let's go see how he's doing!"
Haldin, along with his five younger brothers, walked towards the training ground with great joy.
"Hehehe, now it's really going to be a good show!"
"That kid will definitely go crazy after seeing our masterpiece!"
"I can't wait to see his pained expression!"
"Maybe he's crying out of anger now and is too embarrassed to go to training!"
"It's what he deserves. If he continues to disrespect our boss Haldin, he will be so arrogant again!"
"Look how crazy he was during the induction ceremony! Now he should know the consequences of offending our entire team, right?"
"I guess he must be regretting it now. When he sees our Boss Haldin later, he will definitely cry and beg for mercy!"
Haldin's younger brothers proudly high-fived each other in celebration.
Harding also smiled smugly and said, "Humph, isn't it easy to deal with this kind of newcomer? You want me to let him go? That's not that easy! I will make sure he has no place in the first team! In the end, he will apply to leave the team obediently!"
One of the younger brothers said worriedly, "Boss, are we going too far in this matter? I heard that this kid is the apple of Old Rice's eye. If he goes to Old Rice and complains, we will be in big trouble."
Upon hearing the name of Old Rice, another younger brother also became worried, "Oh no! This year is my contract year! I still want to be promoted to the first team. What if the club finds out about this and refuses to sign a new contract with me? What should I do then?"
Harding sneered, "A bunch of cowards! What are you afraid of? The sky won't fall! Even if it does, I'll hold it up for you! Besides, from the first team to the reserve team, they're all our own. Who wouldn't want to see that new arrogant guy make a fool of himself? Who would betray us? How is the club going to find evidence? Even if the club does have evidence, so what? By then, Captain Davis, Vice Captain Walton and other veterans will all be on our side. If the club dares to punish us, it will punish everyone in the first team and the reserve team! Does the club dare? Can the club really fire us all for a Chinese who hasn't played a single professional game?"
"That's true."
"Now that you say that, I feel completely relieved!"
"I just regret not giving that kid more garbage!"
"It doesn't matter. As long as that Chinese kid still dares to act arrogantly, we will do this to him every now and then, so that he won't even dare to enter the locker room!"
"That's right! Hahaha!"
"See how he can gain a foothold in the first team!"
"Hey, boss, look! That kid is coming out of the locker room and heading to the training ground!"
"Huh? That's weird, why does it feel like he doesn't seem angry?"
"Didn't he notice the garbage in the locker?"
“It shouldn’t be like this!”
"But if he saw it, how could he be so calm and composed?"
"That's right, I even wrote the word monkey on his dressing mirror. There's no way he wouldn't explode when he sees it!"
"But he looked like nothing really happened."
"Okay, stop arguing." Haldin frowned and waved his hand, "Let's go and meet that kid."
"Walk!"
Haldin led his brothers into the training ground and walked straight towards Gu Ran who was sitting on a bench changing into training clothes.
Gu Ran's new training uniform was cut up, so he could only wear the old Bucks Steel Horns school team's training uniform.
But that's okay.
Gu Ran didn't care at all.
Training suits are not jerseys, and you don’t have to pay for them yourself.
Rick would be able to have new training clothes by the end of afternoon training - if Rick could work quickly after vomiting.
Now, it's about training, not what kind of training clothes you wear.
Only by getting good grades in the afternoon test can I give these bullies a slap in the face.
Bullying is everywhere, but if you want to bully me... just dream on! Gu Ran changed into his old training clothes directly in the open field.
Just as he was lowering his head to put on his shoes, Haldin and others walked up to him in a domineering manner.
Harding crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "Chinese boy, why don't you go to the locker room to change clothes? Could it be that you Chinese have not evolved to use the locker room to change clothes?"
"Hahaha!" The other five brothers laughed shrilly.
Gu Ran put on his sneakers, stood up straight with an arrogant look, and stared at Haldin with a cold gaze.
Haldin couldn't help feeling a little scared, but he still forced himself to look at Gu Ran.
To deal with such a guy who likes to play dirty tricks, Gu Ran was not polite at all, "Harding, I sincerely wish your mother well."
Haldin was stunned, and immediately shouted with a face full of shame and anger: "Boy! How dare you scold me? You actually dared to scold me! You all heard it! This boy is extremely uncivilized! I didn't say anything, but he came up and scolded me!"
“Yes, yes!”
"We all heard it, Boss!"
"He was asking after your mom! We can all testify to that!"
Haldin smiled proudly and said, "Chinese boy, what else do you have to say?"
Gu Ran sneered, "Why, are you so happy when I greet your mother?"
"You...Fuck!" Haldin's face flushed.
Gu Ran said bluntly: "Yes, I scolded you openly, so what? You guys are here to do it secretly, why don't you let me do it openly?"
Haldin shouted angrily: "Chinese boy! Don't slander us! What do you mean by us being here to do something bad? We don't know what you are talking about!"
Gu Ran smiled contemptuously, "Don't worry, I don't expect you to admit it, even though you left your signature on my dressing mirror."
"sign?"
Haldin and his brothers were stunned for a moment.
"Fuck!"
"The boss called us monkeys!"
"That was clearly us scolding him, not our own signature!"
"Shut up, everyone!!!" Haldin yelled with a red face, "What monkey, what signature, we know nothing about it!"
"Ah...right, right! We didn't know!"
"I don't know! I don't know!"
If they admitted this, they would be in big trouble if the club's top management told them about it! Gu Ran was amused by these guys, "Oh, they are a group of monkeys who broke into the locker room. After they dumped the garbage into my locker, they also left their signatures on my dressing mirror."
Haldin was so angry that he just swallowed his anger: "We... don't know!"
Invisibly, they became monkeys! Gu Ran laughed scornfully: "Look at how cowardly you are. If you don't know, you might think I'm bullying you. Don't worry, I won't complain."
Haldin's brothers heaved a sigh of relief.
"Gu, you said that yourself!"
"If you dare to sue us, you won't keep your word!"
"That's enough! All of you shut up!" After scolding the stupid and bubbling brothers, Harding gritted his teeth and said to Gu Ran: "Chinese boy, you really don't know how to live or die! You are already the public enemy of the whole team, and you still dare to be so arrogant!"
Gu Ran sneered, "You think you can scare me by just throwing some garbage? You are too naive."
“Fuck! Fuck!” Harding clenched his fists until they made a clattering sound. “You Chinese boy, you are too arrogant! I won’t let you go. I absolutely won’t let you go!”
Gu Ran stared at Haldin coldly, "No, you are wrong. It's not that you won't let me go, but I won't let you go."
Haldin's heart skipped a beat.
This look was so sharp and full of murderous intent! He was 26 years old and had played professional football for more than ten years, but at this moment he was frightened by a 17-year-old rookie...
Light~ A blue skill bubble immediately appears under Haldin's feet.
Oh, you can’t stand this?
Gu Ran concentrated his mind and swept: Reasonable collision +1.
"Rubbish."
Gu Ran made a casual comment.
"You, you, you dare to scold me!?" Haldin was about to explode with anger.
Gu Ran said in annoyance: "I'm going to start warming up, don't block the way."
Having said that, Gu Ran walked directly between Haldin and his brothers.
Haldin had been bumped by Gu Ran's shoulder once before, and the pain was still fresh in his memory.
Haldin subconsciously moved to the side.
The younger brothers beside him also quickly opened a gap between them.
Gu Ran walked over proudly, stepped onto the grass of the training ground, and started warming up step by step.
Haldin was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his brothers were also furious.
You definitely can't do it.
Even a one-on-one duel in the ring wouldn't work.
Although the club allows one-on-one duels in the ring, this is the first day after returning from the holiday, and the newly appointed head coach Adkins will definitely not allow it on the first day in the ring.
Haldin and others had never expected that Gu Ran would be so tough and fierce.
In their stereotype, Chinese people are honest, smiling and no one dares to offend them.
They originally thought that by cutting up Gu Ran's training clothes and stuffing garbage into Gu Ran's new locker, they would be able to scare Gu Ran and make him surrender.
result……
Gu Ran's attitude became even tougher! Not only did they fail to make Gu Ran surrender, but they also hit a wall and got a big bump! "Fuck it!"
"This Chinese boy is simply a villain!"
"I thought we were evil enough, but I didn't expect he was even more evil than us!"
"I don't understand, why isn't he afraid of us? There are so many of us! And he is all alone."
"It seems throwing trash in his locker doesn't work!"
"It doesn't matter. We still have ten thousand ways to deal with him!"
"That's right! This is our territory. How can we let a new Chinese guy step on our heads?"
"We throw trash into his locker every day! We isolate him everywhere! We make trouble for him in everything! Let's see how long he can last!"
Haldin's brothers shouted angrily.
Haldin said fiercely, "Brothers, if you are assigned to a group with him during the test this afternoon, no one should show mercy! Tackle him to death!"
"Don't worry, Boss!"
"We will let him know what true professionalism is!"
"Actually, we're considered the winner this time, after all, this guy doesn't have a locker!"
"Yes! That's right! Even though he looks so tough, can't he only change clothes on the training ground?"
"Haha! Like a primitive man!"
“We won!”
Haldin and his brothers laughed arrogantly.
At this time, Rick, who was not noticed by anyone, walked out of the locker room quietly, holding his shriveled belly, hiding his achievements and fame...
Ten minutes later.
The players of the first team and the reserve team came out of the complex building one after another and went to the locker room of the training ground together.
Those players who were late in the morning also hurried to the training ground after receiving the notice.
Even Captain Davis and Vice Captain Walton came - they were of course not going to the hospital because of stomachache, they just wanted to give the new head coach a warning, but they didn't expect Coach Adkins to not buy it at all.
If we don't come, we will sit on the bench until we transfer or retire? Humph, if we don't come, Southampton can't even beat the English League Two team...
Davis and Walton discussed it and finally came.
After all, they were the first to break the rules, and if a fight really breaks out, they will not be in the right.
The two groups of people met at the entrance of the locker room.
Walton yawned.
Davis frowned, looking extremely unhappy.
When the players saw Davis and Walton, the two most valuable veterans on the team, they immediately gathered around them and greeted them with all kinds of compliments.
"Hi! Boss Davis! Boss Walton! Long time no see!"
"How was your holiday?"
"Did you guys have too much fun last night, haha?"
"If you have time, introduce us some young models! Bring the brothers to have fun together!"
"Boss! I have a new snus here, with five times the flavor of Red Bull! Do you want to try it?"
A reserve player took out an iron box from his pocket and handed it respectfully to Davis and Walton.
Davis waved his hand.
Walton took it readily, took a deep breath through his nose skillfully, and then shook his neck happily.
"This new product is really awesome!"
"If Boss Wharton likes it, this box is for you!"
"Haha, thank you very much! If you have new goods in the future, remember to get some more for me." Wharton happily stuffed the snuff box into his pocket.
In Southampton Club, players are not allowed to smoke because smoking will greatly affect the players' competitive state and shorten their sports life.
After all, there is only one Cruyff in the world, and only Cruyff can play football while smoking.
However, snuff has not been banned in major clubs.
Some clubs' team doctors even provide special snuff cream, which is applied to the front of players' jerseys before the game, so that players can smell the snuff cream on their clothes during the game to stimulate their dopamine secretion and increase their excitement.
Although this substance is less harmful to the body than tobacco and does not contain any banned ingredients, it is a nicotine-addictive product.
——In the UK, there are definitely quite a few players who are addicted to snuff.
This situation also exists in Southampton Club, especially under the leadership of veteran players, many young players are proud to own trendy snuff.
Haldin took the opportunity to say, "Boss, you are finally here. You have no idea how arrogant that new Chinese guy was during the induction ceremony this morning!"
Other players also complained to Davis and Walton:
"Yeah, yeah, we've been playing football for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen such an arrogant guy."
"Fuck! He has never played a professional game and he is not from a professional academy, but his weekly salary is 3,000 pounds! How can this be justified?"
"It's ok that he has a high weekly salary, but he dares to wear the number 8! It's the number 8!"
"Also, the new head coach is pretty cruel! He doesn't give us old guys any face at all!"
“On the first day back, Adkins not only called the roll, he also tested it!”
"We were playing all the time during the holidays, and our physical condition hasn't recovered at all. Isn't this test just a warning to us?"
Davis frowned irritably and said, "Fark, after the holiday, will Southampton change? I don't care how arrogant the new Chinese kid is, and I don't care how the new coach wants to establish his prestige. I just want to ask:"
"Whose Cayenne is that? How dare you occupy my parking space No. 1!"
