"Hi, Gu~Long time no see."

Evelin greeted him with a shy intimacy.

Oh shit, that's so alluring.

However, we had sex together just the day before yesterday, how can we say it has been a long time since we last met? Oh, I understand, it feels like a long time since we last met.

Gu Ran smiled secretly in his heart, and used realistic acting skills to maintain his calmness, as if he and Evelin had not seen each other for a long time and were not very familiar with each other, "Hello, Evelin."

Evelin bit her lip and smiled, “I want to pick you, do you have time now?”

Gu Ran shook his head, "Very short."

Evelin chuckled, her full breasts trembling, "... Come on, I know you're long, it depends on whether you want to satisfy me or not."

Gu Ran said seriously: "I can satisfy you, but it will take time."

Evelin glared at him, “Okay, I’ll come see you later. Oh, and I also want…your jersey, the one you’re wearing now.”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "That's no problem. You can come and get it yourself when the time comes."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and it was unclear whether Eve was flirting with Gu Ran, or Gu Ran was flirting with Evelin. The two of them didn't seem to be driving, but they were better than driving.

Coach Jacob and the others beside him were all stunned...

Evelin gave Gu Ran a meaningful wink, then walked away, twisting her tight, tender waist that could squeeze out a bag of water.

Mai Fu asked tentatively: "Gu? Gu, why do I feel like you and this reporter... are having an affair?"

It's more than just a leg...we all have a horse...

"Ah?" Gu Ran quickly denied with a smile, "No, no, there was no leg."

It’s not that Gu Ran, the scumbag, didn’t want to admit it, but Evelin had specifically told them during the outdoor battle that night that in the future, when there were other people around, they should pretend that they didn’t know each other well.

If their relationship became public, Evelin’s job as a female reporter would be difficult to secure, or at least she would no longer be able to interview Gu Ran because of suspicion.

Evelin still enjoyed being a reporter and interviewing Gu Ran, which Evelin considered an honor and privilege.

Therefore, Gu Ran was also cooperating with Evelin.

As soon as Evelin left, Philip Boots, the business director, ran over with a red face and put his arm around Gu Ran's shoulders.

"Hahaha! Gu! 6 minutes! 6 minutes! All 600 of your signed jerseys are sold out!"

Holy shit…

I am so tired of signing, they will be sold out in minutes...

Gu Ran couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

Philip Butz said with great joy: "In my career, the profit from 600 jerseys is not much, but among all the products I have sold personally, this is the fastest selling one!"

"Gu! You made me what I am! You ignited my passion! I feel like my whole body is on fire right now!"

"I don't even need to take the little blue pill tonight!"

Philip Boots kissed Gu Ran on the cheek excitedly.

Holy shit…

Buzz, you are really... short and playful! But the sales speed is really unexpected! VIP fans really know the goods! Gu Ran wiped his face and smiled, "This is all because of Mr. Buzz's efforts."

Philip Butz laughed happily, "Gu, you are so nice! There are still 400 signed jerseys left. When can you deliver them?"

Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Wait until I finish my training."

"Okay, okay! I'll wait for you!" Philip Boots ran away, "I'll go and pre-sell it for you first!"

“Eh…”

Without waiting for Gu Ran to stop him, Philip Butz ran to Coach Andy, grabbed the microphone, and shouted, "The last 400 No. 8 jerseys signed by Gu Ran are now available for pre-order! The last 400! This is a rare opportunity, this is Gu's first batch of professional jerseys! If you don't buy it now, you will miss it! Imagine, when Gu Ran appears in the professional arena wearing the No. 8 jersey, no one else has the No. 8 jersey but you do! And it's his autographed jersey! This is face! This is identity!"

The training ground was packed with people, and fans were madly crowding around Philip Butz, vying for reservations.

This scene is extremely hot!

The club's top executives were all grinning from ear to ear.

The profit from selling jerseys is of course nothing, but such a popular scene makes them full of confidence in Gu Ran’s business future.

At this time, Evelyn took the interview microphone and walked over to the other players to interview them.

As a regular employee of the Advance Saints, Evelyn not only interviewed Gu Ran, but also had to interview other stars on the team.

"Mr. Lallana, I'm a reporter from the Advance Saints. Can I take a minute to interview you?"

Lallana quickly said: "Of course, no problem. As a veteran player of Southampton, I am very willing to cooperate with the team newspaper's interview."

Evelin asked directly, “Okay—there are rumors that the players in your first-team are very jealous of Mr. Gu Ran. Is that true?”

Lallana: “…”

This question caught Lallana off guard! Evelyn smiled and said, "Thank you for the interview."

Lallana was shocked and said: "Ah! I haven't said anything yet! You've finished the interview? Why is mine so short?"

As Southampton's top star, the media has always attached great importance to interviews with Lallana. They can't wait to ask one question after another, and even chase Lallana to the toilet for an interview.

As a result, this new female reporter did not follow the routine at all and was very perfunctory in the interview!

Evelin said helplessly: “Okay, then do you have anything else to add?”

Lallana said depressedly: "What do you mean by needing to add something? I haven't even answered your first question yet!"

Evelin looked at her watch and said, “Then keep it brief.”

Lallana's mentality is about to explode.

Fortunately, Lallana quickly sorted out his thoughts and said, "We, ahem, are not jealous of Gu. What I mean is, he is just a newcomer and has not made any contribution to the club yet. How can we old players be jealous of him? We just... envy him a little bit. However, I want to emphasize that this envy is benign and we should be grateful to the club. I think that it is because all the work of the club has returned to normal that non-professional players like Gu Ran who come from grassroots backgrounds can have such a good opportunity to join the club. Rather than saying that we envy Gu Ran, it is better to say that we are very satisfied with the current operation of the club."

Lallana's answers were of high quality, his speech was very organized and logical, and he was able to elevate the club. He is definitely the club newspaper's favorite interviewee.

Lallana is worthy of being Southampton's star player. He is definitely like a fish in water when it comes to giving interviews.

Evelin just nodded absentmindedly, “Okay, thank you for the interview.”

As she spoke, Evelin wrote down tomorrow's title in the interview book: "Lalana: Why am I so short? I envy Gu so much!"

After that, Evelin raised the microphone in front of Captain Davis again, "Captain Davis, I heard that you mobilized all the players to isolate Gu Ran. How do you explain it?"

Davis was immediately filled with black lines on his face.

This is not an interview, this is an interrogation! Gu Ran's lethality on the training ground is terrifying, and this female reporter Evelin's lethality outside the field is terrifying!

Are you two a male and female duo?

But Davis is indeed a veteran. Davis smiled and said in a steady voice: "Nonsense! This is absolutely nonsense! I have a very good personal relationship with Gu Ran. I like Gu very much. I even gave my dedicated parking space No. 1 to Gu. As the captain, I firmly oppose any form of bullying within the team, including grabbing parking spaces, malicious hooping, dragging teammates, destroying the locker room, etc. I also fully exerted my authority as the captain, united my teammates, and worked together for a better tomorrow for the Southampton Football Club."

"Okay, thank you for the interview."

Evelyn put the microphone in Chamberlain's face again. "Mr. Chamberlain, you and Gu are both rising stars of Southampton, but Gu's first public appearance was much better than yours, and his jersey sales were also more popular than yours. What do you want to say about this?"

Chamberlain opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Evelin kindly prompted, “Are you trying to say that you are not as good as Gu?”

"Right, right...ah? No, no!" Chamberlain said anxiously, "I didn't mean that! I really didn't mean that!"

Evelin smiled and said, “Okay, I know how to write it.”

Evelyn turned the microphone back to Haldin.

With the experience of the previous few people being interviewed, Haldin was well prepared this time.

He wanted to use the "Forward Saints" to discredit Gu Ran! He wanted to exaggerate the bad behavior of Gu Ran's disrespect for senior players, his arrogance and willfulness, and his deliberate destruction of the locker room to bury everyone with him!

Evelin raised her hand and looked at the Patek Philippe watch on her wrist, “…Oh, it’s almost time, so I won’t bother you guys anymore.”

After that, Evelin put away the microphone.

Haldin: ...

Haldin had so much to say... He was choking on it all! Haldin said anxiously, "Ms. Reporter! Don't leave! I'm very short! I'm really very short!"

But Evelin had already walked away.

Beep, beep, beep! As coach Andy blew the whistle, the fans in the training ground returned to the stands one after another.

After the field was cleared, members of the first team and reserve team returned to the training ground to carry out the next training program.

The first step is obstacle dribbling and shooting training.

Captain Davis stood in front of the goal, and the other players passed through the layers of barrier cones one by one, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then shot.

The first to appear was the team flower Lallana.

Lallana was seen dribbling quickly and smoothly, rushing left and right, and the human wall signs and barrier cones did not shake at all!

After Lallana broke through the obstacle area, he shot directly! This shot was of extremely high quality, and the football turned to the upper left corner of the goal at high speed! Captain Davis jumped up beautifully, like a big fish that was splashing water to wash its gills, his body stretched to the extreme, natural to the extreme.

Captain Davis' fingertips lightly touched the football, and the football changed its direction slightly, but still relied on its extremely fast speed and strong power to hit the blind corner of the goal!

There was a burst of warm cheers from the audience.

Lallana's shot was beautiful! Davis' defense was also very entertaining! These two are indeed experienced veterans on the field. They are very familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding.

Davis naturally knew where Lallana was going to shoot, and Lallana also knew that Davis wanted to pursue the entertainment value of the performance, so both of them performed very well.

After scoring the goal, Lallana immediately went to shake hands with Davis with a smile, and Davis also smiled and patted Lallana on the shoulder.

Lambert came on next.

Lambert is not as fast as Lallana, but his left and right feet are very balanced, and his movements when passing through obstacles are even more beautiful than Lallana.

After breaking through the obstacle area, Lambert made a powerful low shot.

Davis was in a very good position and reacted very quickly. He just jumped with his feet in the air and then fell to the ground to save the ball.

However, the football still passed through Davis' five fingers and shot into the goal beautifully.

The VIP fans at the scene cheered excitedly again.

Of course, the audience likes to watch such scenes, but professionals like Coach Carter can see through it at a glance: this is actually just a rehearsed performance. Lallana and Lambert are doing their best, and Davis is performing very hard.

Of course, this is just an open class within the team, just for fun, and it cannot be considered match-fixing.

But then again, for professional players, if they really want to fix a match, non-professionals really can't tell.

After Lambert scored the goal, he ran to Davis, high-fived and hugged him.

Next up is midfielder Hammond.

Hammond's performance in overcoming obstacles was average, and his shot was a bit lacking in power.

Davis made a wonderful diving save and held the ball firmly in his arms with both hands.

The audience immediately gave Davis a warm round of applause!

The fact that a 33-year-old veteran of the humerus can still perform so agilely is certainly worthy of applause.

Hammond ran over with admiration on his face and hugged and shook hands with Davis, and Davis rubbed Hammond's head like an older brother.

…Open training classes are like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.

Next, main players such as Chamberlain, Schneiderlin, Connolly, and Gourlay took to the court to perform.

Davis also blocked left and right, and his performance was extremely brilliant.

After making ten saves, Davis left the goal to rest and was replaced by substitute goalkeeper No. 23 Frecaster.

Frecaster is 199cm tall, only 23 years old, and is a good defender of high balls.

After Frecaster came on the pitch, the dribbling players’ shooting success rate improved.

It’s not that Frecaster is not serious, but his goalkeeping ability is indeed not as good as Davis, and his performance ability is even worse.

Although there was a goal, the VIP audience in the stands were not interested.

After Frecaster made ten saves, the third goalkeeper, No. 24 Bialkowski, came on the field.

Bialkowski is 195cm tall and has long arms, but his reaction is a bit slow and his saves are not beautiful enough.

The VIP fans in the stands were drowsy.

Soon, it was Gu Ran's turn to appear.

The VIP fans immediately became active, cheering for Gu Ran! Especially the 100 beautiful cheerleaders from the [Gu Ran Global Support Club] wearing loose size 8 shirts and tight miniskirts, all of them cheered excitedly!

Half of the stands were in turmoil! Bialkovski was ready to save the ball early.

Just when Gu Ran was about to start, Davis suddenly ran to the goal and waved for Bialkowski to go down and rest.

Of course Bialkovsky did not dare to disobey his captain and could only walk away with a wry smile.

When the VIP fans in the stands saw that it was Davis who was personally defending Gu Ran, they immediately applauded excitedly.

They just like to watch this kind of strong confrontation!

Davis stood calmly and experienced in the middle of the goal, lowered his center of gravity, and hooked his finger at Gu Ran across the obstacle area.

A smile appeared on Gu Ran's lips.

Beep! Assistant coach Andy blew the whistle, and Gu Ran shot out at super high speed like a bullet! Half of the VIP fans at the scene had never seen Gu Ran play, so they naturally didn't know how fast Gu Ran was sprinting. This was the first time they had seen it!

Gu Ran's speed was as fast as lightning, and his sprinting was very much like Ronaldinho's violent sprinting beauty! The VIP fans who had never seen Gu Ran sprinting were stunned for a moment, and then cheered wildly!

——The lady who bought 50 jerseys of Gu Ran in one go was choking on phlegm while shouting! The other half of the VIP fans had seen Gu Ran play, but their degree of shock and ecstasy was no less than those who saw Gu Ran sprinting for the first time! They were even more surprised than them!

They saw Gu Ran's progress!

It has only been one month since the National High School Student Competition ended, and Gu Ran has made such great progress! You know, it is very difficult to improve speed! If you want to break your own speed limit, even by 0.1 seconds, you need to put in a lot of sweat and training!

Gu Ran was able to increase his speed to such a level that he could catch up with the wind in such a short time. It was really amazing and surprising! In addition to crazy training, it was also due to his talent!

Southampton Football Club really got lucky!

All the VIP fans in the stadium felt their adrenaline surge because of Gu Ran's violent aesthetic sprint speed, and they cheered wildly!

At the same time, everyone began to worry: with such a fast sprinting and dribbling speed, by the time he reaches the obstacle area, he will probably knock over the human wall and the obstacle cones, right?

Just when everyone was so worried, Gu Ran hardly slowed down, his body was like a swimming dragon, controlling the ball alternately with his left and right feet, and he was about to pass the obstacle area in the blink of an eye!

All the human wall signs and barrier cones were completely motionless! All the VIP fans in the stadium were so shocked that they forgot to cheer!

Waterfuck!

This is too awesome! In this month, Gu Ran has improved not only in speed, but also in dribbling, ball control, and left foot! Lallana's breakthrough was already as exciting as a Premier League star, but Gu Ran's violent aesthetic breakthrough directly left Lallana in the atmosphere! Gu Ran's height is in outer space! Coach Carter, a filial son in the audience, was full of disbelief and shouted passionately: "Oh! My dad!"

As Gu Ran's "first teacher" coach, he claimed to know Gu Ran's talent very well, but at this moment, he found that he only knew the surface! Evelin on the sidelines was even more flushed, and her body was twitching uncontrollably as if she had reached the peak of a wild battle, "Ah~"

Although it was just an “ah”, this “ah” was enough to fully express Evelin’s emotions.

Just when the whole audience was suffocating, Gu Ran broke through the last obstacle cone with ease, then kicked the ball forward, and then took a big step and swung his leg!

... Shoot? ? ? At this moment, the whole audience was stunned! There were still more than 30 meters from the obstacle area to the goal!

The other players all pass the obstacle area, dribble forward into the penalty area, and then shoot.

But Gu Ran, just do it! Davis had already made all the preparations. He wanted to use the open class as an opportunity to teach Gu Ran, the newcomer, a lesson so that Gu Ran would respect him as the captain in the future.

However, when Davis saw Gu Ran's dribbling speed, he lost half his desire to teach Gu Ran a lesson.

When Davis saw Gu Ran swinging his leg from more than thirty meters away, his blood ran cold to the soles of his feet!

Bang! Gu Ran did not stop and fired a long shot at the goal! The football shot up from the ground like an arrow piercing the sky and shot towards the top of the goal!

The ball was like a cruise missile, almost without rotation, and very unexpected! The football drew a knife-like cutting line in the fans' vision, almost dividing the whole world! Shooting to the inside of the goal beam! Davis... stuck!!!

In front of more than 3,000 VIP fans, Southampton's veteran and first goalkeeper Davis was stunned!!! Davis was trained!!! The football was violently shot into the net! The whole net was shaking and dancing wildly!

At this moment, the whole place was silent!!!

From senior executive Les, to the three-year-old fan, from chief steward Rick, to the other players of the team, they were all stunned!!! Everyone couldn't help but get goose bumps!!!

Finally, it was the noblewoman with phlegm stuck in her throat who shouted hoarsely: "Ah———————cough cough————Ah——————"

The audience finally came to their senses! The entire stands went crazy!

Who would have thought that this open training session would be so exciting!

Those veteran Southampton fans all cheered with tears in their eyes!

"Awesome! Awesome!"

"This breakthrough, this long shot, it's amazing!"

"Gu! Chinese dad!"

“The Saints are marching forward!!!”

"Hahaha! We have Gu Ran! We have Gu Ran!"

"Winning the English Football League One this year! Winning the English Football League Championship next year! Returning to the Premier League in two years is not a dream! Not a dream!"

"It's a gift from God! It's a gift from God!"

"Fuck, I'm going to be so happy!"

"It turns out that what the Advance Saints said was true! Gu's long shot is really better than Alan Shearer's!"

"Southampton Club really did a great thing this year! That is to sign Gu at all costs!"

"I also want to buy Gu Ran's jersey! I want to buy all the products he endorses!"

"I want his private contact information! I want to have dinner with him!"

"I want to support him! I don't care how much it costs!"

The fans in the stands cheered collectively... it was the peak!
