The bus could hardly move in the crazy crowd, and almost every Southampton fan wanted to share this championship moment with Gu Ran.
Seeing that the bus could not move, Gu Ran simply climbed onto the roof with his teammates, holding up the League Cup trophy and celebrating with everyone! The already hot scene suddenly became even crazier! Thousands of fans centered on the bus, stretched their arms towards Gu Ran, sang and danced, and the scene seemed like a zombie siege at the end of the world!
This was the first League Cup championship in Southampton's history, and they won it as a League One team. Every Southampton fan was ecstatic about it.
Many female fans even lifted up their clothes and crazily showed their surging passion to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was so embarrassed that he almost blinked.
After more than two hours of partying, the bus finally returned to the Staplewood training base.
At this time, the Staplewood training base had been newly decorated, and a huge banner was hung at the door - Welcome home the champions! The club's senior executives were all dressed neatly and waited for the champions to return early in the cold wind.
As soon as Gu Ran got out of the car carrying the championship trophy, the club's top executives came up to him excitedly, asking him about his well-being and praising him in various ways.
Gu Ran was secretly extremely happy.
But the fun doesn’t end there.
At the celebratory banquet in the evening, all the senior executives and important shareholders of Southampton were present, vying to toast Gu Ran.
Everyone knows that this League Cup victory was all thanks to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran's reputation in Southampton Club also reached its peak! That night, Southampton Club booked the Orange Bar, and the whole team went to the bar to celebrate.
Even Coach Adkins is no exception.
Although Gu Ran doesn't like clubbing, he's here now...
The bar girl was so enthusiastic that she kept trying to get into Gu Ran's arms.
Fortunately, Gu Ran is a serious man and he managed to control himself.
The whole team partying continued until four or five in the morning before gradually dispersing.
After Gu Ran returned to the Dune Villa, he had a good sleep.
When I woke up at noon the next day, my phone was almost blown up.
There were so many messages of congratulations coming one after another that it was impossible to count them all.
Gu Ran picked out a few important replies and made an appointment with Evelin to go horseback riding at Hayden Manor tonight.
After all, I've been busy with competitions recently and haven't had time to ride a horse properly.
Mendes called when Gu Ran was having lunch.
"Hey! Champ! Did you have fun last night?"
Gu Ran rubbed his head, which was still a little hungover, and sighed, "I am happy, but I never thought that celebrating is more tiring than playing football!"
"Hahaha!" Mendes on the other end of the phone laughed happily, "You will adapt! You will have to adapt sooner or later! I want to congratulate you on winning the League Cup trophy, and also congratulate you on qualifying for the Europa League. Your reputation has begun to spread in Europe, and I have received many transfer inquiries from European clubs!"
Gu Ran said quickly: "Mendez, you know I will not leave here until I bring Southampton to the Premier League."
Mendes smiled and said, "Of course, I know, I know! But you'd better hurry up, because everyone can't wait to see you play for a big club."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be more fun to play against a strong team in a weak team?"
Mendes was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's really cool, but I still advise you to go to a big club as soon as possible. Only with the support of a big and strong team can you win the Champions League!"
"I see."
If it weren't for Mikel in the early stages and Gu Ran's own outburst in the later stages, it would have been a pipe dream for Southampton to reverse Tottenham.
It can be said that the reason why they won the League Cup was largely because both Ray and Tottenham underestimated their opponents.
If Southampton wants to advance safely into the Europa League, its squad must be strengthened.
If you want to win the Champions League, you must have the support of top teammates.
Of course, it is too early to think about the Champions League at this time.
Then, Gu Ran asked Mendes about the purchase of Southampton shares.
Mendes reported that he has now purchased 51% of the shares, and Gu Ran has de facto controlling stake in Southampton. In other words, Gu Ran is now the hidden boss of Southampton Club.
——Since he is already the big boss, if he instructs Southampton to recruit some useful talents, it will not be regarded as the players meddling in the team.
Mendes suggested selling the profitable stocks, so that half of the original investment could be earned back, which would reduce Gu Ran’s repayment pressure. He could then buy back the stocks after Southampton’s share price fell.
This is a good idea, but Gu Ran did not accept Mendes' short-term operation thinking. Instead, he told Mendes not to worry about funding issues and just continue with the acquisition.
Mendes could only agree with Gu Ran's suggestion.
After lunch, Gu Ran did some simple recovery training.
At 5 p.m., when Gu Ran was about to drive to Hayden Manor to ride Evelyn's horse, his personal assistant Rick sent him the March race schedule via mobile phone.
This schedule should have been sent last night, but Rick got drunk last night, hugged a slim bar girl and complained to her, and then vomited violently, so Gu Ran only saw the schedule at this time.
Gu Ran was secretly glad for Rick. A pair of underwear was stuffed into Rick's pocket last night. Gu Ran was worried that Rick would not live for 24 hours...
The schedule in March is still a devilish one, with a total of 8 games.
The first game will be at 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2, in the 32nd round of the English League One, where Southampton will away challenge Walsall.
The second game will be at 3 pm on Saturday, March 5th, in the 33rd round of the English League One, where Southampton will challenge Bournemouth away.
The third game will be at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 8, in the 34th round of the English League One, when Southampton will face Tranmere Rovers at home.
The fourth game will be at 3:30 pm on Sunday, March 13, in the sixth round of the FA Cup, when Southampton will challenge the Premier League team Black Cats Sunderland away.
The fifth game, at 7:45 pm on Wednesday, March 16, in the 35th round of the English League One, Southampton will face Carlisle United at home.
The sixth game, at 3 pm on Saturday, March 19, in the 36th round of the English League One, Southampton will challenge Brighton away.
The seventh game, at 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 23, in the 37th round of the English League One, Southampton will face Charlton at home.
The eighth game, at 7:45 pm on Saturday, March 30, in the 38th round of the English League One, Southampton will face Milton Keynes at home.
The competition in March is still full!
However, apart from the English Football League One, there is only one really important game, which is the sixth round of the FA Cup against the Black Cats Sunderland.
The Black Cats Sunderland have also been very fierce this season, especially with the British star "that man" in charge.
Gu Ran couldn't help but smile at the thought of competing with that man.
Gu Ran stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Haydn Manor.
Riding a horse. (End of this chapter)
