Sports director Mark Walker also said excitedly: "Maybe others don't know yet, but I dare say that the Saints will usher in a brand new era from today! Old Rice, we will all become the biggest beneficiaries of this era because of Gu Ran's arrival."

As for the other players of the Southampton team, they were shocked at this moment.

Putting aside personal grudges and speaking objectively, Gu Ran's long-range shot was really shocking!

They thought that they had been numbed by the shock they had received from Gu Ran today, and that it was impossible for them to be shocked any further.

result……

Gu Ran is really too fierce.

This is really a real slap in the face! I can't even be jealous, I can only admire him secretly in my heart.

At this time, Gu Ran walked up to Davis who was still in a daze and asked calmly, "Why didn't you defend yourself? Didn't you act well before?"

Davis' mouth twitched, and his entire defense was broken! Gu Ran, you and that Evelin are a couple, right?

What a pair of male and female devils! Too cruel!

Light~ A blue skill bubble fell under Davis' feet.

Gu Ran concentrated his mind and swept: Diving Ball +1.

Rubbish……

Gu Ran ignored him and walked past Davis who was "standing at attention". He walked straight into the goal, took the football out of the net, and then threw it into the stands.

This can also be considered as a benefit for the fans who support him.

Those respectable people with status and position in the stands started to fight for the seats in an extremely undignified manner...

Several female fans didn't care even though their own balls were torn out, and they just tried their best to fight for Gu Ran's ball.

The scene was extremely exciting and hot, and LSP was ecstatic.

In the end, Gu Ran's ball was snatched away by a female fan with the biggest ball.

The female fan excitedly shook three balls towards Gu Ran to thank her!

Gu Ran felt a little dizzy and quickly looked away.

After the obstacle dribbling training, the next training item is the 100-meter interval sprint run.

This item is the one that tests the players' physical fitness the most in today's entire open training session.

It is said to be 100 meters, but in fact it is 110 meters to be precise, which is the full length of the court from the end line to the opposite end line.

The players were divided into three groups, each with 11 people, and performed repeated interval sprints, with each group doing four times, two rounds.

The first round of the first group started and the players all performed very hard.

But the audience's reaction was lukewarm.

After all, they had just seen Gu Ran's violent and aesthetic performance when dribbling in the obstacle area.

Although the first group is full of talented players, including Lallana, Connolly, Barnard, Lambert and other fast horses, their performance without the ball is not even as good as Gu Ran's performance when sprinting with the ball.

Of course, the dribbling distance in the obstacle sprint is only 50 meters, while for the interval sprint, one round trip is 220 meters, and two round trips are 440 meters, so the physical requirements are indeed higher.

After the two rounds of the first group, Lallana was in first place, with Lambert and Barnard tied for second.

The players were so tired that they were about to vomit.

The audience also gave applause to these main players to encourage them.

The second group started immediately.

The second group is a mixture of veterans and young players. Davis, Walton, Harding, Levis, Tafazoli, Harold and others are all in this group.

The speed of this group was obviously much slower than the first group.

The young players are also very sensible and dare not surpass the two big guys, Davis and Walton, too much.

But even with this slack, after the second group ran two rounds, Walton still held onto the goalpost and began to retch.

Walton really wanted to take out some snuff and take a few puffs, but this was a big taboo in front of the fans, especially in front of VIP fans.

The intensity of this sprint is indeed too great.

The audience also responded with consolation applause.

After the first two groups of training, all VIP fans are now looking forward to Gu Ran's appearance -

In addition to Gu Ran, this group also includes Chamberlain and Luke Shaw, two players who are also rising stars like Gu Ran.

Assistant coach Andy was not afraid of making trouble. Putting three promising stars in the same group to compete was naturally a big gimmick.

Chamberlain is very fast. At the age of 17, he has already reached the speed level of a winger in the Premier League.

Although Luke Shaw is not yet a formal first-team player, the 16-year-old Luke Shaw is also a strong player in the team in terms of speed.

Basically, the highlight of this group is the civil war between three promising stars: Gu Ran, Chamberlain and Luke Shaw.

Young Luke Shaw looked solemn.

He looked back at Chamberlain, who was fearless... Well, Chamberlain's expression was even more solemn than his.

Gu Ran was a ruthless person who almost made his exclusive coach who graduated from Real Madrid cry! He was a ruthless person who usually trained with a shot put! He was a ruthless person who dared to challenge their entire team alone!

Comparing sprints with Gu Ran... Isn't this going to be publicly executed by him?

Chamberlain nodded vigorously to Luke Shaw to show encouragement, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Luke Shaw also nodded vigorously at Chamberlain in response, "Yes, you are more famous than me, and you should die first."

Chamberlain: ...

Luke Shaw: “Did I say something wrong?”

——Gu Ran was assigned to a position near the left sideline.

Chamberlain and Luke Shaw were next to him.

The VIP fans on this side of the stands all stood up excitedly to watch! Gu Ran waved politely to the fans, then focused his attention, staring at the opposite end line with a murderous expression.

This domineering expression immediately made the female fans scream with excitement until their voices broke!

beep--

With the whistle of assistant coach Andy, the third group of players began their interval sprint! Gu Ran took off directly, and all the muscles in his body were tense as he ran in the wind, like the sails and cables in the wind and waves!

Especially the muscles in his legs, which were strong and powerful, just like the best Ferghana horses! Gu Ran was not only as fast as the Son of Wind, but his strength and beauty were even more stunning!

As he started to move, the grass beneath his feet was lifted up in a straight line! The VIP fans at the scene were so mesmerized that they even forgot to cheer.

The first 50 meters are sprinting, the middle 10 meters are jogging, and the last 50 meters are sprinting. After crossing the finish line, immediately turn back and sprint again, jog again for the middle 10 meters, and then sprint again, and repeat this process twice.

In the first 50 meters, Gu Ran was the fastest rider in the world! Chamberlain and Luke Shaw naturally didn't want to be crushed by Gu Ran, so they both chased him at their fastest speed!

They knew that if they couldn't catch up with Gu Ran in the first 50 meters of the sprint, things would be even worse later on!

Because Gu Ran is not only strong in instantaneous sprint, his physical strength is also fierce, and his sustained sprint is even more brutal!

However, the sprint had just begun when Chamberlain and Luke Shaw became desperate.

The speed of the Son of Wind is so fast that he doesn't give any face at all and just crushes us in the face!

Gu Ran ran 50 meters almost in the blink of an eye, surpassing Chamberlain by 3 body lengths, Luke Shaw by 4 body lengths, and countless other players by countless body lengths!

Chamberlain and Luke Shaw tried to catch up desperately but they couldn't!

There's no way to catch up!

After Gu Ran passed the 50-meter mark, he immediately slowed down and jogged.

Can you run 110 meters in one breath? Of course Gu Ran can do it, and even running 440 meters in one breath is no problem.

However, the requirement of this training subject is that intervals must be inserted, which is also to test the ability of instant start, emergency stop, and then instant start again.

Therefore, everyone should reduce their speed to walking level in the 10-meter interval, and then suddenly speed up and sprint after passing the 10-meter interval.

Such intervals actually consume more physical energy.

This principle is just like starting a car. The moment of ignition is often the moment that consumes the most electricity and fuel.

When Gu Ran slowed down in the intermission, Chamberlain and Luke Shaw also slowed down, but they were obviously twice as fast as Gu Ran.

They wanted to make up for the gap through the intermission area.

The VIP fans in the stands who supported Gu Ran suddenly became worried, and some impatient fans even booed Chamberlain and Luke Shaw.

——This is the first time that people booed during an open class with only their own players.

However, Gu Ran did not take Chamberlain and Luke Shaw's cheating seriously at all and continued to pass through the intermission at his own pace.

Chamberlain and Luke Shaw followed closely behind! The gap was quickly narrowed, even eliminated! Chamberlain and Gu Ran were only half a body length apart! Luke Shaw and Gu Ran were only one body length apart! The three rising stars, in the second 50-meter sprint, were almost back at the same starting line!

This also gave Chamberlain and Luke Shaw great confidence - as long as they could continue to accelerate the chase in the intermission, then in the end, they might not lose... badly!

Before Chamberlain and Luke Shaw could speed up, Gu Ran sprinted forward and left them three steps behind in a flash! Chamberlain: ...

Luke Shaw……

Gu Ran's second sprint was too explosive! The first 50 meters were not Gu Ran's true sprint speed at all!

Others' sprints are weak at first and exhausted at second, but Gu Ran's sprint is wave after wave, each wave stronger than the last!

The VIP fans at the scene were instantly excited! Such a passionate scene made everyone's adrenaline soar to the extreme! Evelin murmured happily, "You can only watch, but I have truly experienced this feeling..."

At this moment, Gu Ranfeng's son accelerated to full speed! The male hormones of running were fully activated!

Gu Ran sprinted to the end line in the blink of an eye! Gu Ran stopped suddenly, bent down to touch the end line, and then turned around and sprinted back!

The VIP fans at the scene were all excited! The speed of this turn was comparable to the cobra maneuver of a fighter jet!

So cool! So fast!

Chamberlain and Luke Shaw were stunned! It was really a blow to their faces!

Chamberlain gritted his teeth and accelerated. He was forced to increase his speed to a limit he had never reached before!

Chamberlain rushed across the end line... and couldn't stop! Chamberlain fell to the ground in a mess, then climbed up using his hands and feet, and turned back to chase! Luke Shaw: ...

Luke Shaw slowed down, bent down and touched the end line, then accelerated again.

His turning speed was obviously not on the same level as Gu Ran's.

After Gu Ran finished the first 50 meters after turning back, Chamberlain, covered in mud and grass, fell behind him more than ten meters away.

Luke Shaw is similar to Chamberlain.

Gu Ran slowed down in the intermission area, even slower than the first time he entered the intermission area.

It can be said that digging out Coach Carter’s grandmother is probably faster than Gu Ran’s speed.

However, the VIP fans in the stadium were not unhappy, but extremely excited! This fast and slow rhythm is very technical! It makes people addicted! Especially the lady with phlegm, her seat was wet with excitement! Chamberlain and Luke Shaw finally caught up with the intermission, but Gu Ran had already passed the intermission slowly and accelerated again! This time, the speed was faster than the last sprint! The violent aesthetic sprint posture was fully displayed! No matter how much Chamberlain and Luke Shaw accelerated in the intermission, there was no hope of catching up with Gu Ran!

Gu Ran rushed to the end line in one breath, and once again performed the turning speed of a fighter cobra, stopping suddenly to touch the end line and turning back.

It hit my face again!!!

Chamberlain and Luke Shaw want to die!

They had long expected that this would be a public execution, but... could they just give him a quick death!!! This... Gu Ran is about to smash his face!

Chamberlain and Luke Shaw can only grit their teeth and push their potential to the limit!

All the VIP fans in the stadium stood up to watch Gu Ran’s violent aesthetic sprint!

This scene was so shocking, it was so adrenaline-inducing! Not to mention that the female fans were hoarse from shouting, even the male fans were hoarse from shouting! After two more intervals like an old lady crossing the road, Gu Ran rushed into the faces of Chamberlain and Luke Shaw again, and finally won the first place in the third group with an absolute crushing advantage.

Chamberlain tried his best and showed a speed he had never experienced before, but he was still 25 meters behind Gu Ran.

Luke Shaw was also inspired to sprint at an unprecedented speed, but in the end he was still 30 meters behind Gu Ran.

As for the other players in the same group, there is nothing to watch.

They were like amateur players in front of Gu Ran's violent aesthetic sprint speed as the Son of Wind.

In fact, the overall score of the third group is higher than that of the first and second groups! Gu Ran was extremely horrified! Davis, Walton, Lallana, Lambert, Connolly and other veteran players watched the whole process in amazement. They were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

They were just feeling thankful.

Fortunately, they were not assigned to the same group with this crazy guy Gu Ran, otherwise, they would all have been publicly executed by Gu Ran!

Even more fortunately, I proposed a truce to Gu Ran before the open class!

If there is no truce, the whole team will die in front of the VIP fans today! This new rising star... is really too strong!

How did Old Rice discover this grassroots player who had never received professional training in a youth training camp? "Saints! Saints! Saints!"

All the VIP fans in the stadium cheered wildly! Everyone truly saw the hope of Southampton's rebirth from the ashes and rebirth from desperate situation!

Even head coach Adkins, who had been keeping a poker face, couldn't hide the smile on his face.

This open class couldn’t be more perfect.

Thanks to Gu Ran’s outstanding performance, he, the new head coach, is also proud of it!

Of course, a performance-like open class doesn't prove anything. After all, the season is long, and the opponents are not human walls and cones. It's too early for Gu Ran to take on the entire Saints team. But this is really a fantastic start! Will they go for the Championship this year and the Premier League next year?

Haha... this is an impossible goal to achieve.

But if Gu Ran can grow up and integrate into the team, maybe it will really be possible! Coach Adkins is also full of confidence!

"Gu..." Luke Xiao walked in front of Gu Ran, panting, and took the initiative to extend his hand, "You are too powerful, I, Luke Xiao, am convinced. In the future, I may not help you, but I will definitely not be your enemy."

Gu Ran smiled and clapped his hands generously with Luke Xiao, "Smart."

Luke Shaw grinned.

Chamberlain on the side frowned, "Luke, you little traitor! Gu...Okay, I admit that you are indeed very strong, but I, Chamberlain, will never, ever be friends with you! When the truce is over, I, Chamberlain, will beat you!"

Hey, what flag did you set? Do you feel better only when you hit yourself in the face?

Gu Ran smiled indifferently, "Okay, I'll be with you anytime."

At this time, Captain Davis came over and put his arm around Gu Ran's shoulders with a smile on his face, "Hey, Gu! Your performance just now was amazing! I think our Southampton team will definitely become stronger with you joining! We will challenge Liverpool soon, come on!"

Chamberlain opened his mouth in astonishment, "Captain? It's ok that Luke Shaw defected, but how come even a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes also quit?"

Davis said angrily: "What are you talking about! I'm doing this for the team!"

Chamberlain: ...

Open class training continues! Today's training has one last item, the goalpost challenge.

This one is basically a game.

The rules are also very simple. After receiving the pass from assistant coach Andy, the players kick the ball from the penalty area line and hit the crossbar to successfully challenge.

This training game is also designed to test the accuracy of the players' footwork, and of course, it involves more of a performance element.

Every player has one chance, even the goalkeeper.

The veteran players displayed their gorgeous footwork and added some funny moves, which drew constant laughter from the audience.

Especially forward Guli, who made an exaggerated and funny fake move before kicking the ball.

There was no goalkeeper in front of the goal, and his feint was actually to deceive the goal post and the crossbar - the VIP fans were also laughing at his funny behavior.

The veterans are all very experienced in performing and they really know what this group of VIP fans want to see.

Moreover... their footwork is indeed difficult to hit the crossbar of the goal, and using exaggerated and funny footwork can also cover up the fact that their own footwork is not very good.

Lambert was honest and shot seriously at the crossbar, but the ball just brushed the top of the goal.

The football flew into the stands, making the fans even happier.

Lambert smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The next few veterans and young players either gave exaggerated performances or just masturbated.

More than a dozen people were shot, but not a single one was hit.

Chamberlain walked up confidently and nodded to assistant coach Andy.

Coach Andy then made a precise cross, Chamberlain stopped the ball with his right foot, then took a step forward and swung his leg hard!

Bang! The football flew high up, almost the height of a goal from the crossbar.

Chamberlain shot a plane.

The fans at the scene burst into laughter.

Everyone thought it was Chamberlain's exaggeration.

But in fact... Chamberlain covered his face and was about to cry.

His control of the ball was at the English Premier League level, and the consistency of his direct shots after stopping the ball was also good, but it was a pity that the final shot was far from perfect.

After Chamberlain, the team's star player Lallana came on the field.

The whole team has high hopes for Lallana - although the final training is a game project, someone has to stand up to support the team. It would be too embarrassing if so many professional players couldn't even hit the crossbar once.

Lallana took a deep breath and signaled Coach Andy to pass the ball.

Coach Andy was also very serious and passed an extremely comfortable cross pass to Lallana.

Speaking of which, Coach Andy is also a well-known player of Southampton Club. Even though he has retired for many years, his footwork is still considered top-notch among these active players.

Never underestimate retired players. Retired players only have declining physical attributes, but their technical attributes and awareness are still extremely high.

Lallana secretly said, "Good shot!", then he stopped the ball with his left foot and shot directly with his right foot!

This shot was extremely beautiful! The football shot fiercely towards the top of the goal...

Got it!!!

Bang! The football hit the top of the goal beam accurately and bounced out of the end line! The VIP fans at the scene cheered excitedly, and many people shouted Lallana's name! Lallana himself was also very excited and raised his arms to celebrate!

Captain Davis took the lead and rushed towards Lallana, hugging him and rubbing his head! The other players also surrounded Lallana happily and excitedly, as if Lallana had scored a key goal in the game.

After Lallana hit the crossbar, the pressure on the remaining players was suddenly reduced, and they performed all kinds of exaggerated performances and made all kinds of empty-handed shots.

Striker Connolly even tried to hit the crossbar with his heel - but the ball naturally went far off the goal.

The training ground was filled with laughter.

This public training session is coming to an end, but the VIP fans are still a little reluctant to leave.

They are waiting for the real "Saint Star" Gu Ran to appear.

Although Gu Ran's position in the team is the left back, it is normal for a full-back to not have accurate shooting skills, but VIP fans who are familiar with Gu Ran know that Gu Ran's shooting skills are not inferior to those of a forward.

Gu Ran’s previous long shot from thirty meters away was a perfect proof of this.

Gu Ran was the last one to appear.

The female fans at the scene started screaming hoarsely before Gu Ran started.

Gu Ran pressed his palms together, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The training ground with 3,000 people immediately fell silent. Everyone widened their eyes, held their breath, and waited for Gu Ran's performance.

In the whole team, only Gu Ran can have such terrifying ability to control the situation.
