The pre-match training arrangement is very simple, focusing on warm-up and supplemented by special training.

The whole team first jogged for 10 minutes under the leadership of captain Mianbao.

Gu Ran naturally followed the team.

During the warm-up training at school, Gu Ran almost couldn’t keep up with this group of donkey-like teammates.

However, now, Gu Ran's physical attribute has increased from 56 points to 58 points - equivalent to 200 more hours of physical training.

Gu Ran’s current physical fitness is fully capable of keeping up with the team’s warm-up.

Of course, there are differences between warm-up runs before a race and warm-up runs during normal training.

Normally the team’s warm-up runs are 15 minutes long, and the speed is obviously a level higher than it is now.

Now the warm-up run before the race is mainly to maintain physical fitness.

After all, warming up too vigorously will not only cause a lot of physical energy loss, but will also make the body tired too early and lose the game state.

After the 10-minute warm-up, Mianbao led the team in 5 minutes of warm-up exercises and stretching training to stretch their muscles and bones to a state suitable for the game.

After stretching training, the players began special training according to their respective positions on the field.

Forwards practice sprinting, midfielders practice passing and receiving the ball, and defenders practice pressing and long passes.

Gu Ran naturally practiced with the guard group.

Head coach Carter walked among the players, and when he saw something he was not satisfied with, he would stop and criticize them.

The 15-minute special training ended at exactly 2:30.

Carter then gathered the players and announced the starting lineup for the game.

Sure enough, Gu Ran was the substitute.

This was also within Gu Ran's expectations.

In fact, it is already a remarkable thing that he was able to participate in the national competition as a substitute after only three days of joining the school team.

What surprised Gu Ran was that the main forward, a sissy, was not even on the starting roster.

Coach Carter included a defensive midfielder from the sparring team who performed well in the team's training match into the starting 11.

Is this a new tactical arrangement? Is the old sprayer planning to change the formation in the first game?

Gu Ran glanced at Sissy secretly and found that Sissy didn't seem very surprised - obviously, Coach Carter had already communicated with Sissy privately before the announcement.

Gu Ran was very curious about what kind of formation Coach Carter would use today to deal with the pirate fleet which had a clear advantage in strength.

After the starting lineup was announced, the Bucks Steelhorns headed to the locker room at the Corsair Football Stadium to prepare for the game.

As soon as they entered the visiting team's locker room, everyone couldn't help but frown.

The Corsairs' visiting locker room was small, and there was a distinct smell of urine in the corner.

When you open the metal cabinet in the locker room, you may even find dead rats, smelly socks and other disgusting things inside.

On the wall of the locker room, there was scarlet graffiti of "5:1".

——The last time the two teams met was five years ago, when the Manchester Pirates crushed the Southampton Steelers with a score of 5:1.

"Fuck!"

The players started to curse:

"I thought those little bastards in Manchester would behave themselves! I didn't expect them to do this!"

"I was thinking that their lunch was okay, but it turns out they wanted us to vomit here!"

"The pirate ship is rubbish! It's too much!"

Rusty kicked the cabinet angrily, "Those little bastards from Manchester! They definitely did this on purpose!"

Coach Carter glared at Rusty, "You knew it was intentional, but you still lost your temper?"

Rusty shut up immediately, and the other complaining players didn't dare to say anything either.

In the locker room, Coach Carter is the absolute boss.

There is no dispute about this in the Milwaukee Bucks.

Although the overall strength of the Bucks Steelers is the weakest in Group E, coach Carter's control over the entire team is godfather-level. From top to bottom, no one dares to disobey Carter.

Coach Carter said gloomily, "What do you think away games are? A resort? Do you think away games are like what you see on TV? At least, that's what you have to wait until you become professional players! In the national high school competition, this is reality! Now, stop complaining like a woman, change your jerseys quickly and get out there to get used to the venue."

"Yes, coach."

The players endured the disgusting smell, quickly changed their jerseys, and ran out of the locker room.

This is also the time when fans enter the stadium and the live DJ and cheerleaders warm up the audience.

Although Gu Ran is a substitute, he can also enter the court with the starting players at this time.

Gu Ran put on Messi's special sneakers and stepped on the grass of the Corsair home stadium, his heart pounding with excitement.

At this moment, the simple stands of the Corsair Stadium were filled with students who came to watch the game.

Without exception, these students are all from Manchester and are absolute fans of the Pirates.

Almost all of the school's 700-plus students showed up to cheer for their home team.

The simple stands were packed to the brim, and all you could see was crowds of people.

What is particularly eye-catching is that

Below the east side stands, there was a group of young and beautiful cheerleaders with long legs. They were all wearing the same uniform, only a red sports bra on their upper bodies, a mini white sports skirt tied around their slim waists, and no stockings on their legs, but with a black sock ring.

The DJ on the scene started playing exciting music to warm up the audience, and the long-legged beauty cheerleaders immediately began to twist their bodies to the hot melody, occasionally lifting their legs high.

Rusty kept looking back at the long-legged beauty cheerleader.

Bread couldn't help but remind him: "Rust Strip! Have you never seen a woman before?"

Rusty wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "No, it's mainly because... our cheerleading team is too disappointing."

Gu Ran looked around curiously, "We have a cheerleading team? It seems they didn't come with us?"

Just as he finished speaking, the drummer in the substitutes' bench took out a snare drum from a big backpack and started beating it with the drumsticks.

As he beat the drums, the drummer shouted at the top of his lungs: "Steel Horns! Hi, hi! Invincible!"

Gu Ran: ...

Well, it turns out we actually have a cheerleading team, and we brought them.

It’s just… it’s really frustrating!!!

I suddenly have the idea of ​​transferring schools, but I don’t know if I should tell you this or not…

At this time, the Manchester students in the stands began to boo the Bucks Steelhorns players who were adapting to the training on the field, and made insulting gestures of 5:1.

The female cheerleaders also shook their hips and danced the Poznan dance towards the Bucks Steelhorns players.

All the players of the Bucks Steelhorns were angry.

Rusty looked at the buttocks again and again...

Suddenly, the DJ shouted: "Let's give the warmest applause to welcome the handsome guys from the pirate ship!"

The home team Corsair players came out to adapt to the field to the sound of a majestic march.

The Manchester students at the scene immediately created a tsunami-like wave of people, and the simple stands were swung like noodles.

The students in the stands cheered wildly, shouting the name of every home team player.

Some boys stood in the aisle of the stands, waving the red team flag with the Corsair logo.

Some female students took off their suits and jumped wildly on the stands! The cheerleaders on the east side of the stands also danced wildly to the DJ's music.

The game hadn't even started yet, but the atmosphere was already heating up! The drummer was beating his drums like crazy, but the sound was completely suppressed by the noise of the Manchester students!

Gu Ran was standing on the green field and felt that his eardrums were about to be broken by the roar from the audience.

This is the crazy British football scene.

Moreover, this was just a small high school football game.

The title of the country of football is not an exaggeration.

At the scene, every time the Buccaneers practiced passing the ball, it would trigger a burst of crazy cheers, and every time the Bucks Steelhorns practiced passing the ball, it would trigger a burst of contemptuous boos.

That's the pressure of home court.

At home in professional leagues, at least there are away tickets, at least there are away fans, at least there are cameras and away media reporters.

But in the amateur high school league, everything returns to the most primitive and barbaric state of football.

The twenty-minute adaptation ended with wild boos filled with contempt and hostility.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room for final preparations before the game.
