I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 156 The starting point is very important!The master of cake painting is confused!

Coach Carter next to him smiled and said: "Old Les, the sword is not old! Cough... But, don't just talk about what these kids don't understand, our Gu is a good kid who has never even been to a bar! Let's still talk about it." Let’s get straight to the point!”

Gu Ran's face turned red.

... ashamed ashamed.

Not only did I understand it, but I also played it more than you guys.

"Haha!" Old Rice laughed heartily, "Gu, you really haven't been to a bar yet?"

Gu Ran quickly said: "Yes, I really haven't been there."

Old Rice said with a smile: "Gu, you are too self-disciplined! No wonder you can improve so fast, you are so self-disciplined! Okay, very good, keep it up! This world lacks good players like you! If all If players can be like you, that would be amazing!"

All like me?
Hollywood female stars are not enough...

I can't even get enough of it myself!

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Thank you Mr. Rice for your compliment, I will continue to work hard."

"Good! Good! That's great!" Old Rice couldn't hide his appreciation for Gu Ran in his eyes.

Coach Carter cleared his throat and continued to introduce: "Gu, the other one is the former head coach of the Scunthorpe team, Nigel Adkins. Although he hasn't made an official announcement yet, he has Signed with the Southampton club, and in another month, he will officially enter the Southampton team as the head coach."

In other words, this person is very likely to be the future head coach.

Gu Ran immediately shook hands with Adkins, "Hello, Mr. Coach."

Adkins shook hands with Gu Ran seriously, "Hello, Gu."

His wrists are strong, he doesn't talk much, and compared to Coach Carter, his appearance looks very gentle.

He's the same guy in his 50s as Coach Carter, but he has a lot of hair and a more athletic build.

——It can be seen that this is a head coach with extremely strict requirements.

In the memory of Gu Ran's previous life, he didn't have a deep impression of the name Nigel Adkins. After all, in his previous life, in addition to paying attention to long-legged female stars, he also knew the names and identities of some football stars and coaches of big clubs, such as Gu Ran really didn't pay much attention to a coach from a small team like Adkins.

Adkins' emotions were not revealed on the outside. After shaking hands with Gu Ran, he backed away half a body and handed the scene back to Old Rice.

Gu Ran's first impression of Adkins was: this guy... is a bit lofty and difficult to deal with.

But in any case, this meeting, the old Rice brought the future head coach together, is to discuss the professional contract in detail.

Yes, from the moment you step into this room, the red carpet has been laid for the new journey.

Professionalization is finally about to start!

Gu Ran tried his best to control the excitement and longing in his heart, maintaining a ignorant expression on the surface.

After all, the starting point is important!

The beginning of professionalization must be cautious!

Keeping a ignorant look not only fits his age status of only 17 years old, but also can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger on key issues.

Old Rice said with a smile: "Gu, I think you must be wondering why I want to meet you here?"

I'm not surprised, there's a future boss of Chelsea standing downstairs, isn't he just trying to rob me?
Of course, I have to pretend that I don't quite understand, otherwise it will be too pretentious.

Gu Ran smiled realistically, "I don't quite understand."

Old Rice smiled and said: "Haha! It must be a good thing! A great thing! Gu! This will be a turning point in your destiny! Your life will take off from this moment! Are you happy?"

shit...

The tone is so high?
Come up and draw a cake for me?
Coach Carter is a master of PUA, old Rice, you are not a master of pie painting, are you?
Did Bell grow up eating the pie you drew when he was a child?

Who are the people I meet? The PUA type Bole, the pie-painting type Bole, and there is a boring gourd coach standing over there.

So weird!

Gu Ran sighed secretly in his heart, and then said, "So, what's the good thing?"

Seeing that Gu Ran was so "on the road", Old Rice immediately pulled Gu Ran to the sofa with a smile, "Come, let's sit down and talk."

"Okay." Gu Ranhan sat down on the sofa with a smile.

Coach Carter also sat on the other side of Gu Ran, while Coach Adkins sat in a farther position and continued to remain silent.

Old Rice said again: "Gu, I must first know, what are your future plans? Go to college? Or, do you want to enter professional football?"

Without hesitation, Gu Ran said with certainty, "I want to play football."

I want to be a football star!

University?
In the last life, I have already passed it!
I have been on it for 4 years!I'm about to throw up!
In the next 12 years, there will be no shortage of college students, not to mention college students, there are as many masters as dogs, and doctors are everywhere!

I was born again with great difficulty, how could I go to university and work for others?

In this life, I will do what I love to do!
"A wise choice!" Old Rice exclaimed, "Gu, with your talent, if you don't play in the professional league, it will be a loss for the whole world! As long as you choose the right path, you will definitely become a superstar in the future." I even dare to say that to you, you will achieve more than Gareth Bale!"

This pie...

Gu Ran asked seriously: "Then Mr. Rice, what is the right way?"

Old Rice had been waiting for Gu Ran to ask this question for a long time, "Good question! Gu! Very good question! In fact, the most important question in life is to choose the right path. Everyone's path is different, and as a person who came here Old man, I think your path lies in starting from a low-level professional league and stepping up to the pinnacle of life step by step!"

Old Rice didn't wait for Gu Ran to speak, and continued: "Gu, do you know? When Lamar Carter first introduced you to me, he said that you are a genius who is once in a thousand years. To be honest, I At that time, I thought the old guy must be drunk. But when I watched your game live for the first time, I realized that the old guy was really right. And when I walked in the door and watched you After the game, I thought again, we two old guys are so wrong."

"You are not a genius who meets once in a thousand years, you are a genius who meets once in ten thousand years."

"Gu, you are amazing, I bet you will become a world-class star in the future as long as you walk the right path!"

shit...

This speech is really too level.

He really deserves to be a legend in southern football.

If it were any 17-year-old hot-blooded boy who heard these words, I am afraid that he would take the initiative to ask for a contract with the Southampton club on the spot!

but……

I am a reborn!
Moreover, since I was praised by Anne Hathaway, there is no mouth in this world that can make me float.

Gu Ran's expression was excited, and he said with a sense of reality: "Thank you, Mr. Rice, for your compliment! My God! It's a rare event in ten thousand years? World-class? I never dared to imagine it!"

Let's play each other!Life is like a play!

Especially when it comes to this kind of extreme stretching, acting skills are even more needed!
Only on the field and in bed, is the truest self...

Just listen to the old Rice continue: "Gu, your genius is not only your performance on the court, but also because you have never received formal youth football training. You must know that in the UK, even in the In Europe, all professional clubs are very fancy about [a professional background], professional youth training is a professional training, because that is the beginning of professionalization."

"You can go to Manchester United's class of 92, you can go to Barcelona's La Masia, you can go to see the two hottest stars now, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, you can go to see all the famous players. stars—I dare say, 99.99% of them came from professional youth training step by step.”

"And you didn't have that process."

"You seem to have been born out of nowhere. You have not gone through professional youth training, but you can surpass professional youth training players. This is your genius, and this is why I say you are a genius who is one in a million. reason."

Hearing this, Gu Ran couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Old Rice's mind is very clear, and his analysis is also in place.

Gu Ran's current shortcoming is really not in physical fitness and technology, but in experience.

A high school student who only joined the amateur high school team a month ago, no matter how good his performance was, he did not step up from professional youth training.

Based on this alone, it is basically impossible to go directly to a wealthy club.

"So," Old Rice continued, "For you, the most correct path for you at present is to make up for the missing experience of professional youth training, so that you can reach the top of the world."

"The easiest way to make up for professional youth training is to train in the youth training echelon of a professional club and then be promoted to the first team."

"But there is another way—"

Old Rice paused deliberately, trying to whet Gu Ran's appetite.

Gu Ran also cooperated with the ignorant boy eager for an answer, "What? Mr. Rice?"

Old Rice said with a smile: "That is, directly playing in the first team of the low-level league! This way is much better than training in the youth training team of a big club, because ten training games are not worth a professional game." The game is going up fast! Gu, you are at the best age and the best season to raise the ball. I suggest you not to go to the youth training team, but to practice in the low-level league!"

Hmm, getting close to the point.

But it's too slow to talk like this, I can bear it, and neither can my Anne.

I'd better give it a push.

Gu Ran sighed, and said awkwardly: "The first team... unfortunately, I don't have a work permit."

"Hahaha!" Old Laston laughed proudly, his face full of the look that everything was under my control.

"Gu, when it comes to labor certification, yes, that thing is really a bit of a fucking thing." Old Rice said without changing his expression, "But what I want to say is that our Southampton Club can solve this problem for you .If you are willing to put on the red and white jersey of our saints, we can activate the genius clause for you, and then help you get a labor certificate, so that you can play in the professional league!"

This cake painting is more realistic...

Labor certification is indeed the top priority for Chinese to enter the British professional league.

However, as Coach Carter said before, when you are good enough, someone will take the initiative to stand up and help you build bridges when you encounter mountains and rivers!
It's because you are awesome and your value is worth what they do!
Being able to get a labor permit and play directly as a first-team player is indeed much better than not being able to play in the youth team of a big team and only training!

Although the road that old Rice pointed out was full of pie-painting skills, the general direction coincided with Gu Ran's heart.

Starting from a low-level league, starting from a small club, pushing all the way through, crushing all enemies from low to high, this is so powerful!
I like enough energy!
But... don't rush yet.

This is actually a game, and it's not that I'm crying and asking you to help me get a labor permit, and it's not that I'm crying and crying to join Southampton, there is Chelsea out there!
The above nonsense is just drawing cakes, and the actual treatment has not been discussed at all!
To fight against an old guy like Old Rice, you must hold your breath!

Gu Ran immediately said with a sense of reality and a confused look on his face: "It must be troublesome to apply for a labor certificate, right?"

Old Rice immediately said: "That's not right! Gu, let me tell you, you just met me, you met Southampton Club! If you were any other club, you wouldn't go all out like Southampton Club. Help you fight, don’t look at the hype that the scouts of those small clubs boast, they can’t make decisions, they will report your situation, and when their decision-makers finish their research, the new season will begin!”

"But our Southampton club is different. We make decisions directly from the decision-making level. Moreover, Coach Carter also introduced to you just now. I also have an identity as a committee member of the FA. I can review labor The hearing of the testimony! Of course, this does require a lot of manpower and material resources, and the relationship between the FA committee members is also very complicated, and it is very difficult to get through."

The implication of Old Rice is that if I can't do it, no one else can. The whole Southampton club is very sincere.

Gu Ran immediately said: "It's so troublesome, it's so hard...or, forget it?"

Old Rice:? ? ?

Carter:? ? ?
Adkins: ...

Old Rice, who is a master of pastry painting, was stunned!

After talking dry, Gu Ran suddenly said, "Why don't you forget it"?
This, this... boy, why don't you play your cards according to the routine!
Gu Ran shrugged and said, "I can actually join the youth training team of a bigger club, and then play on loan to a small European club that doesn't require a work permit."

Old Rice opened his mouth, "...Uh, this, ah, um, oh, yes - this is also a way. But, how can the level of small European clubs be comparable to the British professional league? Besides , our Southampton Club really wants to get you!"

As soon as the words came out, Old Rice immediately realized: It's broken...how did I confess my love first?

All right!Then there is no need to hide it!
Old Rice had a showdown, "Gu! Our Southampton club is very fond of you! We want to get a talented player like you! For you, our entire Southampton club will go all out! We are not afraid of any hard work and Trouble, as long as you can join the Southampton club, we can satisfy all your reasonable conditions!"

shit...

Old Les, if you made your attitude clear earlier, it would be over!
Hold on to it first——

Gu Ran nodded, and asked ignorantly, "Is that so... Southampton Club is a League One team, right?"

Old Rice quickly introduced: "Yes, now we are in the middle of League One, but the level of our entire club is definitely not at the level of the lower leagues. Southampton Club is one of the earliest clubs in modern British football. The club was founded in 1885, which was earlier than many so-called wealthy clubs. We are the founding team of the First Division and the founding team of the Premier League. Although our record in history has only won the top league once Runners-up and an FA Cup winner, but we definitely deserve to be called the Premier League powerhouse."

"The reason why we are now in the League One is because of the financial crisis in 08, which caused the club to play in a panic. It was relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship, and then from the English Championship to the League One."

"But fortunately, this crisis is over now. The current Southampton Club is in good financial condition. The new owner is Miss Katerina from the Liebherr Group. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to each other."

"We have the Staplewood training base, the top training ground among all Premier League clubs. We also have a very complete and abundant youth training reserve. We have a lot of good players. As long as they are adjusted properly, these players can be with you and make an impact. Championship, return to the Premier League!"

Speaking of this, Old Rice said excitedly: "Gu, believe me, your starting point should be in our Southampton! Just like the Titanic's starting point in Southampton! You will set sail here! To the top!"

shit...

Old Les, your metaphor...

Was the Titanic headed to its peak?

That is hitting the peak and sinking to the bottom of the sea!

Gu Ran was a little dumbfounded.

However, Gu Ran could understand Old Rice's feelings. After all, the Southamptonians were very proud of the fact that they were the starting point of the Titanic.

As for the sinking of the Titanic, of course it has nothing to do with the Southampton people, it started from here anyway.

At this time, Coach Carter next to him also said, "Gu, Old Rice has said so much, so listen to me."

Gu Ran immediately said, "Okay, coach."

Coach Carter cleared his throat, "As a native of Southampton, I definitely recommend you to go to the Southampton club. Of course, there is a lot of selfishness in this, after all, who doesn't want talented players to stay. What about in your own team? But, I have to say, Southampton really suits you, in every way."

"This time, other small clubs dispatched scouts, while Southampton Club dispatched seven top decision-making executives. Just for this, they are full of sincerity."

"With the old Les here, you basically don't have to worry about the labor certification issue, and leave the difficult chores to them to solve. You just need to concentrate on playing football."

"The old Rice also said just now that you lack the youth training experience of a professional background-this is not to say that you are not good, but to analyze according to the actual situation. If you want to go to a big club team, your kind The lack of professional youth training will make you unable to find your place in big clubs, let alone play, I am afraid that you can only help others pick up the ball during training."

"So, I really hope you start with Southampton and use your experience in the lower leagues to make up for your lack of professional youth training. This is definitely the best way."

Gu Ran nodded slightly.

Coach Carter's words are indeed convincing.

Moreover, Gu Ran's own rating system really needs to play in the professional league in order to upgrade faster and better.

But... when it comes to the present, it has not yet entered the actual stage.

I want to be realistic!I need to know what you can give me!
Gu Ran took the initiative to ask: "So, if I join the Southampton club, what kind of contract can I get?"
