"Yes, yes."

“Yes, yes!”

"Coach, let's go change clothes first."

"Chinese boy, ah no, Gu, you better practice hard!"

The players smiled awkwardly and left in shame.

Coach Adkins said to Gu Ran in a deep voice: "Gu, if someone bullies you, you can tell me."

Coach Adkins is still so concise.

Gu Ran smiled and shrugged, "No, no one bullies me at all."

Coach, you may not believe this, but I was the only one bullying them, but I won’t admit it! Gu Ran continued with a smile, “The relationship between us is very good, so good that it can be described as [warm] and [a mess].”

Head coach Adkins frowned slightly.

How could he not see the murderous ferocity in the other players' eyes just now?

But since Gu Ran didn't mention it, Coach Adkins wouldn't pursue it any further.

This is a professional team, not a kindergarten.

Even the head coach can't control how wide it is.

Coach Adkins nodded slightly, "Okay. Anyway, you can come to me if you need anything."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, coach."

Coach Adkins said again: "Let's gather and warm up."

"Okay." Gu Ran put away the football.

On the other side, other players gathered around Captain Davis.

"Captain, you just... walked really fast."

"Yeah, we haven't reacted yet."

"You are indeed our captain..."

"But then again, that Chinese guy didn't report us just now."

"He's probably afraid of us, hahaha!"

"No, he dared to confront Captain Davis, how could he be afraid of us?"

"It seems like this kid is quite authentic..."

"Hey, Lambert, you're actually speaking for that kid!"

"I didn't! As long as Boss Davis gives the order, I promise to be the first one to rush up and kill him!"

"I also think that guy did a very honest thing - he didn't escalate the grievances and conflicts between our players to the level of coaches and executives. Of course, it doesn't stop me from rushing up to fight him."

"Okay, stop arguing and listen to what Boss Davis has to say first!"

The players all looked at Davis.

Davis is their backbone - although this backbone will run away first.

Davis pursed his lips and said, "This Chinese boy... is quite tough! To be honest, I actually admire him a little bit."

The corners of Haldin's mouth twitched.

Lambert and Schneiderlin would be fine if they said that, but Boss Davis, why...

Walton took out a snuff and took a puff, shaking his head and saying, "That guy is 1v all of us, how can we let him continue to be so arrogant? He must pay the price!"

Davis nodded. "That's right. Let's do this. When we do the warm-up run, Walton, you, Jedi, and Fonte will block the guy in front. Harding and your guys will block him in the middle. Luke Shaw will give you a chance. You kick the guy in the leg from behind and let him feel the pain of falling to the ground and getting hurt."

Walton and Jedi are both experienced veterans and strong central defenders.

Add in the 26-year-old defender Fonte, and such a blocking combination makes it impossible for a human, or even a fly, to fly over.

And by blocking the flanks, Haldin and his men could also prevent Gu Ran from breaking out from the side, ensuring that nothing could go wrong.

"good!"

"The boss arranged it clearly!"

"Just do it!"

"Haha, I can already imagine the desperate and terrified expression on that kid's face as he lies on the ground!"

The players were eager to go and were all very excited.

Luke Shaw scratched his head, "Boss, why did I kick him?"

Walton said unhappily, "Such a good job to make a contribution is given to you, and you still don't want to do it?"

Haldin immediately said, "Boss, let me switch with Luke Shaw!"

Davis waved his hand, "It's Luke. Luke, don't kill him, just kick him to the ground. After all... that kid is also a member of our Southampton club. As the captain, even if I want to discipline the newcomers who don't know the rules, I will never allow them to harm our own people. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Boss!"

"I understand!"

Davis arranged for Luke Shaw to play against Gu Ran because he didn't want things to get out of control.

From this point of view alone, Davis is not too bad.

The players quickly changed into their training suits and shoes in the open air.

Assistant coach Andy was puzzled, "What's going on today? Why are everyone changing clothes on the sidelines?"

Coach Adkins smiled with satisfaction: "I don't know why, but this atmosphere is still very good."

Special coach Jacob walked up to Gu Ran with a stern face and said, "Gu, you have to run with the team for 15 minutes to warm up, and then do dynamic stretching exercises together. After that, the other players will be divided into groups for recovery training, and you will go to the gym with me for one-on-one special training. As a defender, you are thin and it is easy for the opponent's forwards and wingers to target you on the court, so I will first give you a one and a half hour strength training."

Gu Ran said expectantly, "Okay, Coach Jacob."

Coach Jacob added: "In addition, you have to return to the training ground in an hour and a half. Coach Adkins will conduct three tests. After the test, I will accompany you to continue one-on-one training - be prepared, then you will experience the pure Real Madrid-style training, and I hope you can stick to it."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, coach!"

There is nothing more exciting than experiencing Real Madrid-level training in a club like Southampton!

Coach Jacob walked away with a blank expression.

The team also gathered quickly under the organization of Captain Davis.

This is much better than the sparse and lazy gathering in the morning.

Davis still has a very high status among the players. With Davis around, the players dare not slack off.

The players lined up in two large rows at the starting line.

Walton and other central defenders deliberately stood in front of Gu Ran.

Haldin and his boys were also standing in the front row, winking at each other.

Gu Ran was sandwiched in the middle of the second row.

...You are trying to mess with me.

The corner of Gu Ran's mouth curled up into a smile of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Beep! With the whistle of assistant coach Andy, the 15-minute warm-up run began!

Walton, Harding and others immediately formed an arc-shaped encirclement formation around Gu Ran behind them!

Luke Xiao also rushed towards Gu Ran with his head down.

Gu Ran made way for the players around him, suddenly switched positions horizontally to the outer circle, and then accelerated directly to the Son of Wind! Speed ​​71, Burst 77, High-speed Sprint +4, Extreme Acceleration: Son of Wind +2, full on!

Gu Ran was like a bullet fired from a gun, he instantly passed through the encirclement and left the large army behind in the blink of an eye.

Luke Shaw was stunned...

What's going on? Where are the people?

Don’t even mention the leg bend, you can’t even touch the leg hair! Don’t even mention the leg hair, you can’t even touch the shadow! Walton, Harding and others were also dumbfounded...

How could this Chinese kid be so fast? Even the arc interception prepared in advance couldn't stop him? This breakthrough was even sharper than that of a forward!

How is this possible?

It must be that our combination is wrong! Captain Davis was also confused...

What the hell! No wonder this guy is so crazy! This sprint speed is really not exaggerated! "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"

The whole team accelerated desperately! The originally steady warm-up pace immediately turned into a blood-boiling racing mode under Gu Ran's impact! The Southampton players gritted their teeth and chased!

Gu Ran maintained a high-frequency sprint rhythm and continued to widen the distance from the main group.

Those players hadn't trained much during the holiday, and they had just vomited a lot, so they were weak and their calves were weak. How could they catch up with Gu Ran, who was always in good competitive form? In less than a minute and a half, Gu Ran had left everyone behind by half a lap!

All the Southampton players were going crazy! These arrogant professional players had wanted to unite to attack Gu Ran, but now they were all being attacked by Gu Ran!

It's a matter of dignity! Southampton's players gritted their teeth and ran wildly! Their running rhythm was messed up, which was counterproductive!

Seeing this warm-up scene, the exclusive coach Jacob on the sidelines frowned and complained in a deep voice:

"Gu Ran, this kid, obviously doesn't know how to warm up. He sprinted so fast right from the start, how could he maintain the same sprint pace for 15 minutes? If he runs like this, even if he can finish the run, he will collapse after the run and won't have to do anything. I really don't understand why the club bought such a grassroots player who has not gone through a professional youth training camp! And they asked me, an assistant coach trained in Real Madrid, to treat him one-on-one! They want me to teach him from the beginning!"

Coach Jacobs: …

As he was speaking, Gu Ran easily overtook from the outside lane and directly lapped most of the Southampton players.

In front of Gu Ran, there were only Lallana and Chamberlain.

Coach Jacob said: "I am familiar with Lallana and Chamberlain, two players from our youth training camp. They are very fast and have a steady rhythm. Gu will not be able to catch them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ran also included Lallana and Chamberlain.

Coach Jacob said: "...Although Lallana and Chamberlain were also trapped once, it is impossible for Gu to trap them a second time."

Three minutes later, Gu Ran lapped Lallana and Chamberlain twice.

Coach Jacob said: "Although--"

Assistant coach Andy said distressedly, "Jacob, shut up now."

…15-minute warm-up run is over.

Gu Ran stopped and felt relaxed all over, his breathing became steady and he was sweating slightly.

On the other hand, those players who had been trapped by him for five full laps were all panting heavily, sweating profusely, and could barely stand.

There were even a few players kneeling on the grass and retching - they really couldn't vomit anything else.

In fact, this is certainly not their true level.

As professional players, they certainly wouldn't be so bad as to be beaten by Gu Ran five times in a row.

It was just because they didn't keep training during the holidays, and they were still drinking and partying on the first day before their return. Plus, they just vomited in the locker room, so their bodies were already very weak.

Moreover, Gu Ran sprinted right at the start, disrupting their own rhythm, which also greatly affected them.

In comparison, Gu Ran was in full condition.

It is natural that they were trapped five times.

Gu Ran walked past Davis and the others easily, and sneered without any hesitation: "What's wrong? It's all gone in just 15 minutes?"

Lights, lights, lights~ The players led by Davis are buzzing with bubbles dropping like crazy!

Being circled once by the new grass-roots guy is humiliating enough, but being circled five times in a row is simply the opening door to humiliation, it's the ultimate humiliation!

Gu Ran concentrated his mind and picked up Lambert's "Precision Stop +1" skill from among the many blue and white bubbles.

Although this skill is not a star skill, it is definitely a very practical skill.

As for other people's skills and training results, Gu Ran thought about it and decided to wait and see.

After all, there is only one last chance to pick up items today. If I can get another talent point, it would be perfect.

At this time, assistant coach Andy clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Don't sit or lie down, start dynamic stretching in 1 minute!"

The players were on the verge of tears.

"Fuck... Damn Chinese kid! Too cruel!"

"I need to replenish my electrolytes..."

"Who has snuff? Give me two puffs..."

One minute later, the players struggled to get up and gathered in front of assistant coach Andy, and began dynamic stretching under the guidance of assistant coach Andy.

——Andy Williams is also a player from Southampton’s youth training. He is also a good player in professional competitions. After retiring, he returned to Southampton Club and became an assistant coach.

Under the guidance of assistant coach Andy, the players jogged around the obstacle cones and swung their legs to stretch.

Do a set of right-leg swing stretches first, then circle back to the starting point of the obstacle cone and do another set of left-leg swing stretches.

The next step is to do lunge and leg stretch, also one set for each leg.

Then there are low-frequency left-side lateral high-leg running and right-side lateral high-leg running.

Then you have to bend over and run by touching the ground. After each obstacle cone you have to touch the ground and stand up.

Then, touch your right foot with your left hand, and then touch your left foot with your right hand.

Then, turn your back to your left hand and touch your right foot, then touch your left foot with your right hand.

The last step is dynamic jumping jacks.

After doing this set of dynamic stretching, all the players felt bitter in their mouths and kept whimpering.

Only Gu Ran felt relaxed and comfortable all over.

After the dynamic stretching, assistant coach Andy announced: "Rest for five minutes! Then we will train in groups freely! We will have a test in an hour and a half!"

"yes!"

The players collapsed on the grass as if they were liberated.

It's really unbearable that the first day of return is so fierce.

Not to mention taking revenge on Gu Ran, they didn't even want to stand up.

Gu Ran ignored these weak players and rushed to Coach Jacob, "Coach Jacob, let's get started as soon as possible."

Coach Jacob said with a straight face, "…would you like to take a break first?"

Gu Ran shrugged, "Isn't the dynamic stretching just now a rest?"

Coach Jacob nodded, "Great, let's go to the gym."

"Okay!" Gu Ran followed Coach Jacob with anticipation on his face.

His exclusive teammate Mav and exclusive physiotherapist Gregory also followed along with an attitude of watching the fun.

After arriving at the gym in the comprehensive building, Coach Jacob placed four obstacle railings with a spacing of one meter and a height of 1.2 meters.

"Let's start with the simplest jump, which is also to exercise your waist and abdominal muscles."

"You haven't received professional training in the academy, so I'll show you how to do it first. You must watch carefully because I'll only show you once."

Coach Jacob did a brief stretch, then put his legs together and easily jumped over four hurdles.

"Do you understand?"

Gu Ran: “…I understand.”

"One set of four hurdles, do 10 sets at a time, rest for two minutes, do it again, do it four times in total, then rest for five minutes - if you can stick with it, we'll move on to strength training."

"Okay, coach."

"In order to make your training more efficient, I will accompany you and do it as slowly as possible. But if you are slower than me, then your training will not pass. You must keep practicing until it passes."

"clear!"

"Well, let's get started."

At Coach Jacob's command, Gu Ran followed Coach Jacob's lead and jumped up.

This kind of jumping is extremely easy for Gu Ran, who has excellent core strength in his waist and abdomen.

After the first set, he left Coach Jacob behind by one obstacle bar, and as his proficiency increased, Gu Ran became faster and faster.

Coach Jacob was planning to dance slowly at first, after all, Gu Ran was a grassroots who had never received any training in the youth training camp. However, after one set, Coach Jacob was shocked! This kid... has something!

It seems that I have to get serious!

During the third group, Coach Jacob was forced to show his true skills.

So, Coach Jacob, who had shown his true skills, was overtaken by Gu Ran by two obstacles at the end of the third group.

...Hehe, things are gradually becoming interesting.

In the fourth group, Coach Jacob was forced to use all his skills from the Real Madrid assessment.

So, Coach Jacob, who had used all his skills during the Real Madrid assessment, was surpassed by Gu Ran by three obstacles at the end of the fourth group.

If this continues, he will be trapped by Gu Ran...

Coach Jacob began to sweat and was forced to use skills that were beyond his own ability, which he had never used before!

So, Coach Jacob showed his ability, which he had never shown before, and when the fifth group was over, Gu Ran had already started the sixth group...

Gu Ran said while jumping at a fast pace: "Coach Jacob, you don't have to jump so slowly just to save my face and make me meet the standards. You really don't have to."

Coach Jacobs: …

How is this possible?! I'm going to lose!

When I was in the assistant coach training class at Real Madrid, even Mourinho called me a lunatic!

This grassroots kid is even crazier than me? No! No! I absolutely cannot lose to him!

I must live up to Mourinho's praise! Coach Jacob gritted his teeth and broke through the limit——

Gu Ran finished dancing ten sets, and Coach Jacob had just started dancing the eighth set.

Coach Jacob is going crazy...
