After lying on the ground for a long time, the fanatical female fan was finally dragged away by the stadium security.

"I touched it! Hahaha! I touched it!"

The female fan shouted in ecstasy.

What the hell...

Am I...not clean anymore? Gu Ran took a deep breath and his face turned red.

This was the first time he had encountered such an emergency.

Who would have thought that just playing football would actually...

Seeing this benefit, Southampton's female fans all rushed to the fence one by one, and the situation was somewhat out of control! Some male fans couldn't bear it anymore!

The DJ at the scene quickly called on the fans to calm down! Southampton's security guards all rushed out and hurriedly picked the female fan off the fence.

Coach Adkins also made an emergency substitution, taking Gu Ran off the court for protection.

Gu Ran performed extremely well in just half an hour, leading the team to a comeback and a massacre, but for Gu Ran's safety, Coach Adkins did not dare to take the risk of letting Gu Ran stay on the court even if there were only 5 minutes left in the game.

When Gu Ran left the field, all the Southampton fans stood up and cheered, giving Gu Ran thunderous applause.

Gu Ran was also dizzy and raised his hands to applaud, responding to the fans' enthusiasm.

Not only Gu Ran was substituted, but Lallana, Lambert, Chamberlain, Schneiderlin, Walton, and even captain Davis were also substituted.

In the next game, which is the last friendly match before the start of the new season, Southampton will go to the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal away. That is the most important pre-season game. Before the game with Arsenal, these important players must be protected and no accidents can happen.

The other players who were substituted were all surrounding Gu Ran with relaxed and happy faces, except Chamberlain who looked depressed.

——Chamberlain summed up a rule: as long as Gu Ran was on the court, he couldn't touch the ball.

Not that kind of ball, a real ball.

Of course, he couldn't even touch that kind of ball...

Chamberlain couldn't help but clench his fists: Wattfake, Gu Ran got the advantage! 5 minutes of injury time in the second half.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the game entered garbage time.

Southampton fans sang the team song "Saints March On" and happily played human waves in the stands.

St. Mary's Stadium is even more lively than a superstar performance.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The score on the big screen also froze at Southampton 4:1 Northampton.

Southampton won the derby with a stunning comeback, ending their two-game losing streak!

All Southampton fans cheered! For them, this was a dream game! ——So far, Southampton has played 5 pre-season games, with three wins, one draw and one loss! This result is very good! After the game, news media reporters rushed into the media hall of St. Mary's Stadium.

What is different from the pre-match press conference is that the number of news media reporters at that time could not even fill half of the seats in the hall, but now, the entire media hall is packed!

Reporters from all over the country rushed in like sharks smelling blood!

Everyone wants to witness with their own eyes the famous scene of Northampton head coach Samps kissing a donkey's butt.

Because there were too many people, some unqualified rural tabloid reporters were simply turned away.

Of course, these tabloid reporters did not lose heart. Instead, they ran to the detention room of the stadium to interview the fanatical female fan who hit Gu Ran with the ball.

The reporter asked, "Miss, was it premeditated that you rushed onto the field and tackled Gu Ran?"

The fanatical female fan replied excitedly: "Oh! Yes! I did it! I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time! I practiced rock climbing hard just to be able to rush into the field and hug my idol Gu Ran!"

The reporter asked again: "So, why did you take off your shirt?"

The fanatical female fan answered honestly: "Because I was afraid that it would be too late, so I didn't take off my pants!"

"Ah? Not for the sake of attracting attention? Or to express some kind of appeal?"

"No, no, no, there really is no time to take off my pants!"

The reporter asked again: "Uh... So, when you pounced on Gu Ran, did you communicate with him? For example, did you tell him your name and your phone number?"

The fanatical female fan said excitedly: "Oh no, I was too excited about the situation at that time, but thank you for reminding me, if there is a next time, I will definitely communicate with him."

The reporter reminded: "But you may be banned from watching Gu Ran's game on site because of disturbing public order."

The fanatical female fan said excitedly: "It doesn't matter, I will find a way! Even if I go to jail for it! I don't care!"

The reporter asked: "Is this really worth it?"

The fanatical female fan said excitedly: "I'm telling you, my hand touched Gu Ran's dick! Hahaha! Do you think it's worth it? I will never wash my hands again!"

The reporter looked at the fanatical female fan comparing the size of the ball and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Congratulations, you're about to become an Internet celebrity - I will sell this interview to The Sun!"

At the same time, in the bustling media hall——

Coach Adkins' face was flushed as he came to the stage and took his seat early.

Coach Samples hesitated for a long time, and finally walked into the media hall with a bitter face.

The media reporters at the scene burst into excited cheers.

Before Coach Samples sat down, Evelyn took the microphone and asked impatiently, "Coach Samples, we all know that you made a promise at the pre-match press conference. You said that if Gu Ran could play and score, you would imitate Barkley and kiss the donkey's ass. Are you ready?"

Coach Sampson cleared his throat and said palely, "This... ahem, I was just joking at the time, why do you take it so seriously?"

The reporters below started to shout:

"Samps! Be a man!"

"Kiss the donkey's ass! Kiss the donkey's ass!"

"Don't let us look down on you! You represent Northampton!"

"Samps, if you dare to break your promise, we will use all our communication power to let the whole world know that you are a scoundrel who doesn't keep his word!"

Coach Samples: …

Seeing that these reporters who specialize in big news would not let him off so easily, Coach Samples could only helplessly say: "Okay, okay, I have to admit that I did make a mistake."

"I lost, completely."

“But even though I lost 4:1, I’m still a little bit unwilling to accept it, because our Northampton team actually performed well today. We didn’t lose to Southampton, we just lost to Gu Ran - Gu Ran is really too strong.”

"I see a lot of top players in Gu Ran. He shouldn't be in League One. He should be in the Premier League. His presence in League One is simply a dimensional strike."

"Southampton are really lucky to have a player like Gu Ran."

"To be honest, I am a little envious of Southampton. After all, if it weren't for Gu Ran, they would have lost to us, Northampton. Their defensive counterattacks were immature, and their high pressure couldn't work against our short passes. But all this changed qualitatively after Gu Ran came on the field - any coach would be envious."

"Also, I absolutely do not believe that Gu Ran has an ankle injury, and I certainly do not believe that Gu Ran played with a closed ankle—"

Before Coach Samples could finish, Coach Adkins interrupted and said, "Coach Samples, there is no point in saying so much. Everyone wants to know whether you dare to fulfill your promise."

"Yes! Yes!"

"Coach Samples! Stop talking so much! Kiss the donkey's ass! Kiss the donkey's ass!"

"We just want to see you kiss a donkey's ass!"

The reporters below cheered.

Even Northampton's own media joined in the shouting.

It doesn’t matter which side you’re on, as long as there’s big news.

Coach Sampson could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course I will keep my promise, but... Southampton Club shouldn't happen to have a donkey, right? I will only kiss a donkey's ass during the tournament press conference. I refuse to kiss any other ass!"

All the reporters looked at Coach Adkins.

Coach Adkins smiled calmly and experiencedly, "I'm sorry... Coach Samples. What a coincidence, isn't it? There happened to be a pregnant donkey on the farm next to St. Mary's Stadium. In order to prevent Coach Samples from becoming a dishonest man, I paid out of my own pocket to buy the donkey."

After saying that, Adkins waved towards the backstage.

Two staff members came in leading a female donkey with a bulging belly.

The female donkey was staggering and her stomach was heaving. It seemed that she was about to give birth.

The entire media hall was in an uproar! Reporters cheered excitedly and took photos.

This is a real donkey!

Coach Samples was trembling all over. "Coach Adkins, it shouldn't be like this... We are not real enemies."

Coach Adkins laughed and said, "Coach Samples, you don't want to be ruined in front of the national media."

"I……"

Coach Samples now just wants to slap himself hard a few times, preferably to go back to before the pre-match press conference.

As they were talking, the staff led the female donkey to Coach Samples and pointed the donkey's butt towards Coach Samples.

British donkeys are very large and have long hair all over their bodies.

Coach Samples looked at the donkey's anus, which was as big as a sunflower, and felt like vomiting.

Fakmi...

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

The reporters never mind watching the fun! Coach Sampson gritted his teeth in shame and anger.

Isn't it just a kiss? What's the big deal! For the sake of reputation, fight for it! Coach Sampson quickly prepared himself mentally, pouted his mouth and gave it to him——

Reporters couldn't wait to move their camera lenses closer to take pictures of his face!

The donkey was frightened and started to cry "Ahhhhh", then she exerted all her strength -

Phew!

A baby donkey was born from a sunflower!

Coach Samples was covered in... mosaics! The whole media hall was filled with a strong smell! The reporters present were all going crazy with excitement! Big news on top of big news! Enough big news to last a whole year! "Eye-splitting: Northampton coach kissed a donkey, causing it to give birth to a donkey!"

"Mosaic in the News Media Hall: The story that the Northampton coach and the donkey have to tell!"

"A donkey gave birth to a baby after being kissed by a Northampton coach: Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?"

Such big news, let alone the headlines of sports newspapers, will definitely be on the front page of comprehensive newspapers such as The Guardian, The Times, and The Daily Telegraph! This wave may not increase Gu Ran's popularity too much, but Sampson's popularity will definitely explode!

It turns out that wherever Gu Ran is, there will be big news!

Coach Adkins almost couldn't stand up straight with laughter. "Oh, Coach Samples, you are pushing the baby too hard, aren't you? How about we name this little donkey Samples?"

Coach Samples screamed, covered his face and ran away.

He really embarrassed himself this time!

How could the reporters let go of the hot news so easily? They all chased after it.

——Meanwhile, in the home team’s locker room.

Gu Ran is undergoing post-match examination and massage.

Although he knew that Gu Ran's injury had healed, physical therapist Gregory was still cautious and gentle, for fear of hurting Gu Ran.

Gu Ran heard a noisy sound outside and couldn't help asking, "...Why is it so lively outside?"

"I don't know either. I heard that... Coach Samps of Northampton gave birth to a donkey..."

Holy shit…

What kind of operation is this! ?

Gu Ran was completely stunned.

Even online novels don't dare to write like this! Only the news media dare to write like this? Lights~ At this moment, a long-lost system prompt sounded in Gu Ran's mind:

"Congratulations to the host. Since the host has perfectly integrated the results of more than 100 hours of specialized training in the professional competition, the corresponding attribute points have grown."

The growth experience is coming!

Gu Ran was delighted and suppressed the urge to run out to see Coach Samples giving birth.

Then the system prompt sounded:

"Your physical attribute - Balance, grows from 63 points to 64 points."

"Your technical attribute - free kick, has grown from 66 points to 67 points."

"Your technical attribute - ball control, has grown from 62 points to 63 points."

"Your spiritual attribute - creativity, grows from 70 points to 71 points."

This time, I got 4 more growth attributes! Three of them are weak attributes, and the "ball control" attribute and "creativity" attribute are displayed for the first time.

The initial points for creativity are good, but the initial points for ball control attributes are just barely passing.

Such a ball possession foundation can barely stand in the English League One, but in the Premier League, it will become a disadvantage that can be targeted.

Once the disadvantages are targeted, they will be magnified hundreds of times.

Fortunately, the new season starts from the English League One. After the first half of the season, these shortcomings should be mostly made up.

You should also strengthen your training in stopping and controlling the ball. If you have plenty of talent points, you should improve your ball control attributes.

Gu Ran couldn't help but think again: This game's performance is good, so it stands to reason that there should be extra hidden rewards, right? Light~ Sure enough, another system prompt sounded in his mind.

"In this professional match, the host made 1 shot and 3 assists during the extremely prioritized playing time, completing the first assist hat trick in his career. The system evaluated it as an S-level performance, so the host will receive an additional skill upgrade."

"This skill is already possessed by the host."

“The upgrade will be carried out by random lottery.”

"The skill you draw will be directly upgraded by 3 points."

Here it comes! Hidden lucky draw! Gu Ran took a deep breath and made a secret wish in his heart: As long as it is a football-related skill, any skill is acceptable!

“Do you want to conduct a random draw now?”

Gu Ran immediately thought to himself: Camang Baby! Then, a lottery disc appeared in Gu Ran's mind. All the skills he had acquired were closely arranged in the disc, and the lottery grids on the disc seemed densely packed.

Gu Ran concentrated his mind, and the light needle of the lottery disc began to spin rapidly.

Stop! The light needle slows down and slowly stops.

"Congratulations, host."

"The skill that was drawn in this system hidden reward lottery is: Hand-drawn storyboard scripting."

"Your hand-drawn storyboard script has been upgraded from +3 to +6, effective immediately."

Gu Ran: ...

Oh shit!

Damn you system!

Give me this earlier! It would have been 3 times easier for me to hand-draw Avengers 2!

Now I have already hand-painted "Avengers 2", signed the contract, and sent Olsen away, and you are doing this to me? Aren't you forcing me to hand-paint "Iron Man 3", "Thor 2" and "Captain America 2"?

But I don’t want to be a Hollywood idol! I really just want to play football!

Why did I get the football skill last time but not this time? Is it because I didn't say "God bless, Amitabha, Wuliang Tianzun" when I was drawing the lottery?

Is it so mysterious? Well, I can only verify it next time...

Well, hand-drawing scripts is a side job, and the hand-drawing skill +6 is not a loss at all, and it can really save a lot of time.

Gu Ran shook his head helplessly and could only accept his fate.

Gregory, who was massaging him, asked with concern: "Gu, what's wrong with you? Did I press too hard?"

"Oh, no..." Gu Ran said angrily: "Samps actually gave birth to a donkey! This is simply moral degradation and distortion of human nature!"

At this time, vice-captain Walton and several players ran into the physical therapy room excitedly, "Hey, Gu! Let's go to the bar tonight! We were depressed for the past two games, and today we reversed and defeated our arch-rivals, it's worth celebrating!"

Without waiting for Gu Ran to answer, the team doctor Mai Fu frowned and said, "Wharton! Don't you know that Gu Ran's injury has not healed? Gu Ran can't go!"

Holy shit ! There are benefits to pretending to be injured!

Gu Ran immediately shrugged at Walton with regret, and said with a very real feeling: "Sorry, deputy captain, I actually want to go, but my injury really doesn't allow it!"

Walton blinked, "But... you are more aggressive than anyone else on the court!"

Gu Ran sighed, "That was all fake. In fact, I took several injections, no, more than a dozen injections, and now my pain has accumulated ten times. Ah! It hurts so much!"

Gu Ran covered his right ankle with an exaggerated expression.

Walton said quickly, "Oh my! Gu, lie down and have a good rest! You are the most important player in our Southampton team now. We have to play Arsenal, who are in the top four of the Premier League, in the next game. We can't do it without you! You must not come to the bar to drink! None of us can bear this responsibility!"

Gu Ran sighed and said, "I'm sorry, deputy captain!"

Walton waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Just take care of your injuries. We won't bother you anymore. We'll go out and watch the fun first."

Gu Ran rolled over and got up, "Let's go, together!"

Walton was shocked and asked, "Aren't you in ten times the pain?"

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Looking at the excitement of my mortal enemy may help ease the pain..."

"Well……"

By the time they ran out to watch the fun, Northampton's coach Samples had long disappeared.

Only the mother donkey and her newborn donkey were left, trembling in fear as the crowd gathered around them.

Moral decline!!! After the farce of Sampson ended, Coach Adkins gave the players a simple tactical summary lesson and asked everyone to have a good rest over the weekend and prepare for the friendly match with Arsenal next week.

After the team was disbanded, Gu Ran drove to Hayden Manor for a banquet.

The owner of the manor, Sir Adelaide, dressed in formal attire, stood at the gate of the manor early to greet Gu Ran.

Both sides of the gate were filled with male and female servants, making for a grand occasion.

Gu Ran is not only a big star in Southampton now, but also the savior who saved the Adelaide Jazz’s economy at a critical moment!

Marvel has signed a lease agreement with Hayden House for filming, and Hayden House received a large and generous deposit in advance, which is just enough to make up for Sir Adelaide's financial gap.

And since the warehouse incident, Gu Ran has also regarded Sir Adelaide as a reliable friend.

Of course, if Gu Ran were to take a helicopter ride again, he would definitely say no to the pilot who loved to show off his skills! After the two met, they naturally couldn't avoid some polite flattery.

Sir Adelaide said that Gu Ran was a rare genius in a thousand years, and Gu Ran said that Sir Adelaide was a role model for the nobility.

Evelin was wearing a champagne-colored low-cut evening gown, standing gracefully behind her father. Her gentle and somewhat impatient eyes were filled with Gu Ran's figure.

At the luxurious dinner, Gu Ran didn't eat much and politely declined Adelaide's medicinal wine.

After all, the next game is against Arsenal.

Even though it was just a friendly match, Gu Ran attached great importance to this opportunity to play against the fourth place in the Premier League.

Sir Adelaide naturally did not force it.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious. After the dinner, Sir Adelaide tactfully found an excuse to leave.

As soon as Sir Adelaide left, the dignified Evelyn no longer hid her feelings and sat directly on Gu Ran's legs.

"Gu! I missed you so much! How is your foot injury? I was really worried to death when I watched you play today."

Gu Ran hugged Evelin’s slender waist and said with a smile, “Didn’t I tell you a long time ago that I am gifted. I was injured at the time, but the injury has long since healed.”

Evelin said in disbelief, “How is this possible? Are you really not destroying your future by getting a closed injection?”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Of course not! If you don't believe me, I can show you."

As he said that, Gu Ran was about to take off his shoes to show them.

Evelin quickly pressed Gu Ran’s hand, “No, not here.”

Gu Ran quickly said, "Oh, yes, it's not appropriate to display it in the restaurant."

Evelin took Gu Ran’s hand and said, “Come on, I’ll find a place for you, and you can show it to me.”

Eh??? Am I overthinking?

I must be overthinking it.

Gu Ran swallowed subconsciously, followed Evelin out of the restaurant, and went into the grove…
