Chapter 180 The arrogant challenge from the Japanese national competition champion! Gu Ran: What is your mother’s surname?
The next morning.
Greg Dyke left the old Royce's luxury yacht contentedly and returned to London in his Rolls-Royce.
Spending the night on the boat, it was shaking too much...
Greg subconsciously supported his waist, with an aftertasteful smile on his lips.
After the driver started the car, Greg slowly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Manchester United coach Ferguson.
"Hi, good morning! Alex, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Ferguson's steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "Good morning, Greg. I'm at the Carrington training base now. I have a youth team game to watch later - what's going on? Is there something wrong?"
Greg smiled and said: "There is indeed something. I was invited to watch a high school student championship yesterday, and I found a very good prospect. I think he is very suitable for Manchester United."
"Oh? Really? The probability of a good prospect in a high school competition is not high!" Ferguson suddenly became interested, "But if a big shot like you can say he is a good prospect, then he must be very good."
Greg introduced: "He is a Chinese, his name is Gu Ran, he currently plays as a left back, but I believe his position is not just a left back."
"Chinese?" Ferguson was very surprised. "Manchester United once had a Chinese player named Dong Fangzhuo. I have a very good impression of Dong, but it's a pity..."
Greg said: "Listen Alex, this Gu is different from Dong, he is better than Dong! He has Gareth Bale-like wing breakthrough speed, Frank Lampard-like organizational ability and
What's even more incredible is that he also has a full-moon scimitar that looks like David Beckham! What's even more incredible is that his football IQ is so high that he can deal with any complex situation.
, and quickly took control of the situation! He is a natural ruler of the greenery!"
Ferguson on the other end of the phone paused for a long time, "Greg, are you kidding me?"
Greg smiled and said: "No, Alex, that kid is really a treasure! Otherwise, why would I call you in person? The only regret is... this kid has been signed by Southampton Club. Southampton
The Manchester United club is applying for a labor certificate for him, so if Manchester United wants to get him, they need to wait until the winter window this year. My suggestion is that you send a scout to keep an eye on his performance. As long as he plays in the English League
Yes, Manchester United should buy him at all costs."
Ferguson immediately said: "Thank you for your advice Greg, if this kid is really like you said, then Manchester United will definitely go all out to sign him and train him well."
"Okay, that's it, bye, Alex."
"Have a nice day, Greg."
In the Manchester United head coach's office, Ferguson put down the phone and muttered to himself with suspicion: "A Chinese has the characteristics of Bale, Lampard, and Beckham at the same time? And he is still playing in the amateur league? How is this possible?
If that were the case, he should have been discovered long ago? Greg is probably drunk, right?"
Ferguson thought for a moment, then picked up the phone again and dialed Manchester United's sporting director Ed Woodward——
To be honest, Ferguson didn't like Ed Woodward at all. Ed Woodward was parachuted in from the Glazer family, the owner of Manchester United, and he was full of businessman aura.
Although I don't like it in my heart, if the club wants to buy someone, it really needs to discuss it with this "three virtues".
After the call was connected, Ferguson said politely: "Hi, Ed."
"Hi, Alex!" Woodward's voice was a little excited on the other end of the phone, "I'm glad you took the initiative to call me. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, there is indeed such a small thing..."
Ferguson omitted Greg's "exaggerated" description and only told Woodward that there was a Chinese boy in the high school national competition that he needed to pay attention to.
After hearing this, Woodward immediately laughed and said: "Why not? China is a market with extremely huge potential. If we can sign a Chinese player, even if his performance is not that good, we can also take the opportunity to open sales in China."
Market. Alex, this is great, I agree! Let’s send a scout who is familiar with China to pay attention to him!”
Ferguson nodded and said: "Then recall Jim Lawler, our chief scout in Asia. He once discovered Dong Fangzhuo. I believe he can have good communication with that Gu Ran."
Woodward said: "Okay, that's it, just leave it to me to arrange such small things!"
Ferguson said: "Okay, goodbye."
Woodward said quickly: "Goodbye, I wish you a good day."
After Ferguson hung up the phone, he didn't think much about it and continued to check the game data of a player named "Paul Pogba" in the Manchester United youth team...
12 noon.
Gu Ran woke up from the messy big bed, his stomach growling with hunger.
Looking at the messy scene on the ground and the sleeping Annie next to him, Gu Ran couldn't help but grin happily.
Gu Ran gently took his hand out of Annie's arms, walked out of bed and stretched out happily.
After improving your physical fitness and physical fitness, your body will look younger and recover faster.
At the same time, demand has become stronger.
If this continues... what will happen when Annie leaves?
Gu Ran sighed quietly, turned around and walked into the bathroom to take a shower, and then came to a liquid nitrogen freezing capsule and sauna steam room for physical therapy to recover.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he was in good spirits again.
Although today is a holiday, there are still many things to do.
First thing is...eat!
Gu Ran was too lazy to make a big meal, so he randomly found two steaks and fried them on the iron plate. Then he made himself a bucket of instant noodles, added two poached eggs, two pieces of broccoli, and heated it up again.
Large bowl of milk.
There is no information about the finals from the school team today - the other set of semi-final matches will be held this afternoon, so we have to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest to know who the opponent will be in the finals.
In short, no matter who it is, it’s done!
After eating, Gu Ran returned to his bedroom and began to draw the ending of "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises" by hand.
After more than three hours of hand-drawing, Gu Ran finally completed the final ending.
Gu Ran stood up and faced the sea outside the window, stretched his waist, and thought about how to complete today's 10 pick-up progress.
You definitely can't go to the Glopp Gym, especially during this time - Gu Ran is well aware of the fanaticism of local fans.
Instead, you can drive to Southampton Club to watch the training of the youth team. This way you can pick up a professional football training bubble and adapt to the transition to professional training as soon as possible.
Okay, that’s it!
Lamp~
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Gu Ran's mind.
Annie wakes up!
It must be that as soon as I woke up and found that he was not around, I started to have negative emotions again.
The output of a big star like Annie is really stable. A big mood swing is just a bubble of talent points...
Gu Ran picked up the ending of the hand-drawn script, walked downstairs calmly, opened the door and walked into Annie's room.
"Gu! Don't leave me..."
As soon as Annie saw Gu Ran walking in, she immediately threw herself into Gu Ran's arms coquettishly.
Gu Ran smiled and rubbed Annie's hair, "I'm going to draw the ending for you. Aren't you eager to see it?"
Annie suddenly became happy, "Wow! Gu! You are awesome! Give it to me quickly, I want to see it now!"
"Okay, okay." Gu Ran then handed Anne the hand-drawn ending of "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises" and gathered his thoughts to collect the talent point bubble Anne dropped through the air.
——This talent point is temporarily stored in advance.
Gu Ran asked dotingly: "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."
"Well, thank you!" Annie didn't even raise her head, reading the ending with gusto.
Gu Ran smiled helplessly, turned around and went to the kitchen to give Annie a bowl of her favorite "Scottish Braised Noodles".
After the noodles were ready, Annie just finished reading the end of the hand-drawn script.
Annie was wearing black silk pajamas, barefoot, and ran into the kitchen with excitement on her face.
That swaying look suddenly made Gu Ran's young body a little uncontrollable.
Annie jumped into Gu Ran's arms, hooked her hands tightly around Gu Ran's neck, and praised enthusiastically: "Gu! You are so great! You should really become a screenwriter! Be a director! Your ending is too good.
It’s wonderful! The character of Catwoman is so well designed, so special, and so unique! I love it so much!”
Gu Ran explained with a smile: "Catwoman is an anti-hero. The meaning of anti-hero is that she is not an ordinary stereotyped hero, but a character with flesh and blood, good and evil, and a strong personal charm. In the future, you will play the role of a cat."
When playing a female role, you must show your most charming side."
Anne coquettishly said: "I don't know how."
Gu Ran said with a bad smile: "It's okay. I'll communicate with you tonight and you'll know how to act."
Annie blushed and said: "I hate it...I want to eat noodles!"
Gu Ran said: "Then get off me first."
Annie said coquettishly: "No, I want you to carry me to the restaurant~"
"Okay, okay." Gu Ran held Annie's waist with one hand and walked to the restaurant holding hot noodles with the other.
Annie took a deep breath happily and said, "Ah~ it smells so delicious! I dare say that the most delicious noodles in the world are the ones you make, Gu Ran!"
Gu Ran:......
Nothing wrong!
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Eat quickly, we still have to communicate at night."
Annie was indeed very hungry, so she immediately took the bowl and ate it with big mouthfuls. In the end, she even licked every drop of the tomato soup in the bowl.
Such a scene reminded Gu Ran of a scene from last night...
After Annie finished eating, Gu Ran said: "Annie, you can rest at home. I have something to go to the club's training base and I won't be back until dinner in the evening."
Anne asked pitifully: "Can't you take me with you?"
Gu Ran smiled and said: "You have been exposed, aren't you afraid of causing more trouble when you go out now?"
Anne pursed her lips, "Well, it just so happens that I have to ask my assistant for a poster of the White Queen, and I also have to read your hand-drawn script from the beginning again. Go ahead and do your work, I will wait for you to come back obediently.
"
Gu Ran said with satisfaction: "Well, I'll come back and prepare delicious food for you in the evening."
"Yeah! Okay!"
After saying goodbye to Annie, Gu Ran drove away from the villa.
Annie cleaned up the battlefield last night...
After everything was tidied up, Annie sat on the sofa, took out her mobile phone, and prepared to call the female assistant.
It wasn't until she took out her cell phone that Annie suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have called her yesterday, more than once, but the situation was too intense and she couldn't answer the call, so she turned off the phone directly.
Annie quickly turned on the phone and checked - there were more than thirty messages in the voicemail!
Moreover, they were all calls from the great director Christopher Nolan!
Annie suddenly panicked, and just when she was thinking about how to deal with it, Nolan called again.
Annie quickly answered the call and said cautiously: "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Nolan's voice was hoarse and trembling: "Thank God! Annie! You finally answered my call! You don't know how I got here for nearly twenty hours! I haven't even closed my eyes yet. I
I'm even worried that something unexpected happened to you! So what on earth were you doing last night? Why did you turn off your phone!"
Annie's face was red with embarrassment, "I was... well, I was too tired last night and fell asleep. I'm so sorry, Mr. Nolan."
Nolan said eagerly: "It's okay! You don't need to apologize to me! In fact, I don't really care about what you were doing last night. What I care about is this hand-drawn script! I must know whether it really happened to me.
Quantum entanglement!”
Anne asked in shock: "What is...quantum entanglement?"
Nolan said: "Quantum entanglement is... you won't understand even if I explain it. Anyway, tell me, does that Gu Ran really exist?"
Annie smiled and said: "Of course!"
Nolan on the other end of the phone breathed a huge sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it seems I'm not crazy yet! Annie, this script is so great that I think it was hand-drawn by my future self. Anyway,
I really want to know everything about the playwright Gu Ran, and I really want to meet him! Chat with him in person!"
Anne immediately said: "Mr. Nolan, I'm glad you like the script. As for Gu Ran... he's not with me right now, so I'm not sure if he wants to meet you. I have to wait until he comes back in the evening."
Nolan said: "It doesn't matter! Where are you now? The UK? I will take the nearest flight to the UK now, so as long as he agrees to meet, we can meet tomorrow morning."
"Uh... okay then." Annie could only agree.
Nolan asked eagerly: "By the way, do you have the ending of the hand-drawn script? Can you send it to me for a look?"
Annie smiled and said: "Yes, he just finished hand-drawing it today, I will scan it for you right away."
Nolan said excitedly: "That's great! Annie! Thank you very much! Then I'll hang up first, and I'll go find my assistant to buy me a ticket. Please send the ending as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay."
Just as Annie hung up the phone, the phone rang again.
This time, it was her female assistant calling.
As soon as the call was connected, the female assistant yelled anxiously: "Annie! Why did you turn off your phone! I've been calling you all morning! If you can't get through again, I'm going to go to the Dune Villa to get you!"
Annie smiled quickly and said: "Sorry, I was...too tired last night. What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"
The female assistant said anxiously: "Annie, your trip to Cardiff to watch football yesterday has been exposed by a tabloid reporter! Now is the Internet era, and news spreads very fast! Now many entertainment reporters have gone to Cardiff to stay with you!
"
Annie smiled and said: "Then let them stay there."
"Can you still laugh? Do you know that your agent and company already knew about the scandal last night! Your agent Rachel is going crazy! She can't get through when she calls you, and she is flying to
The flight to Southampton is on! She’ll be there tonight!”
"Isn't it?" Annie was dumbfounded.
Her agent, Rachel Furness, is a very strict middle-aged woman who will never allow her to have any scandals.
Rachel's arrival means that Annie is really leaving.
This would go much faster than she imagined.
Annie thought for a while and then said: "Do me a favor and try to hold her off tonight. I will naturally meet her early tomorrow morning and invite her to have dinner with her."
"But Annie! I'm just a little assistant. How can I hold off your agent?"
"It's time to test whether you are a qualified assistant." Annie has also learned PUA. "You can take her to the Ritz Hotel and treat her to a drink. If that doesn't work, put some sleeping pills in her wine. In short, I just need to
Last night!”
The female assistant on the other end of the phone was a little stunned, "Annie... you have changed so much."
Annie smiled and said: "This is the real me."
The female assistant paused, "...well, I'm glad to see you regain yourself. I will try my best, but you must show up tomorrow!"
Anne smiled and said: "Don't worry, oh by the way, forget it tonight, remember to bring me a poster of the White Queen tomorrow."
"……OK."
After hanging up the phone, Annie sighed quietly.
...Tonight may be the last night with Gu Ran.
Therefore, today I will try my best to leave the deepest impression on Gu Ran.
Anne found the maid outfit and started washing and dressing up carefully.
the other side.
Gu Ran drove to Staplewood Training Base.
The security personnel at the door had already recognized Gu Ran's car and immediately opened the door for Gu Ran to let him through.
Gu Ran successfully parked his car in the first row of parking spaces, and then walked along the path into the training ground of the U18 youth training team.
At this time, in the U18 training ground, young players were having a match on the field.
As soon as Gu Ran walked to the sidelines, his eyes were slightly condensed——
He saw that among the young players on the field, there was an Oriental player with black hair like himself!
This young player looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he dribbles the ball very quickly.
Damn it?
Who is this?
Gu Ran tried hard to search the memories of his past life, but there was no impression of Asian players playing in Southampton U18...
Maybe here for a trial?
Trial training is a normal thing. Before the start of the season, many young players will have trial training. The trial training period is generally about ten days and a half month. If the trial training is successful, they will be retained. If they fail to pass the actual training, they will be retained.
will leave.
Gu Ran had never met this Easterner before, so there was a high probability that this person was here to participate in the pre-season trial training.
The young Oriental player on the court saw Gu Ran looking at him, and then glanced at Gu Ran with an arrogant look, and then started fighting harder and faster on the court, as if he wanted to show off his strength to Gu Ran.
.
The moment the two people made eye contact, Gu Ran was probably sure:
This guy is not one of our own, he is probably living a small life... living a pretty good life.
One thing to say is that the basic technical skills of Japanese players are still very solid. After all, the Japanese Football Association imitated the British Football Association and followed the national competition selection method, so their football talents have been in a state of explosion in the past one or two decades.
However, this still does not prevent Gu Ran from hating them.
No reason is needed, I just hate it from the bottom of my heart.
At this moment, Gu Ran heard a very charming cheering voice in Japanese coming from the sidelines not far away: "がんばる! Yuichi!"
Gu Ran was attracted by the gentle voice like a warbler's cry, and couldn't help but look sideways -
He saw a mature woman who looked to be in her early 30s and had an almost perfect profile standing about twenty or thirty meters away from him.
This mature woman was wearing a priceless beige skirt. Just standing there, she showed her elegance and intellectual temperament.
She is not tall, and she is only about 165cm tall when wearing high heels. She looks particularly petite in a green field full of strong men.
She has a plump figure, but she is not fat at all, but has the right kind of mature beauty.
She wore a sunhat and large sunglasses, which almost covered most of her white jade face.
But Gu Ran could still feel the soft and mature charm like white moonlight.
Gu Ran couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart:
This sister... looks a little familiar!
It's like...a certain big star.
Gu Ran has a special sixth sense for creatures like "stars", and he believes that he will not make a wrong judgment.
However, Gu Ran couldn't remember who she was for a moment.
The woman also saw Gu Ran's gaze, and then she smiled and nodded politely to Gu Ran - exactly like a Japanese housewife.
She takes excellent care of herself, not only does she have girlish facial skin, but she also has a mature charm to the core.
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly in response, and then turned his attention back to the court.
The confrontation on the training ground became increasingly fierce.
The player named "Yuichi" performed really well. His shots were very powerful and his movements were exaggerated. He looked a bit like the Tiger-style shot in "Captain".
Gu Ran stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, and successfully picked up 9 white training bubbles from the air, and at the same time automatically redeemed a new talent point.
Today’s pickup task is finally completed.
At this time, the training match for the U18 players has also come to an end.
"Yuichi, are you thirsty? Drink some water!" The mature woman ran up to greet him in small steps.
However, Yuichi directly blocked the woman, walked straight to Gu Ran with a cold and arrogant face, and said in blunt English: "You, Chinese, are the star of hope of Southampton Club, right?"
Gu Ran frowned, folded his arms in front of his chest, and said coldly: "That's right."
"Remember my name, my name is Kawai Yuichi!"
Kawai Yuichi raised his head proudly and said contemptuously: "I am a player of this Japanese national championship team and the top scorer! I came here for a trial training for two weeks! I heard that you are very strong, but as a Chinese,
How strong can you be? I am not convinced! I want to challenge you!"
Kawai Yuichi?
There is no such person among the future stars...
Are you still challenging me? Are you so mediocre?
You, a player who came to try out, want to step on me and get to the top?
Yuichi...look at your crazy name!
Gu Ran frowned coldly, "There are many people who are not convinced by me. Who do you think is the boss? I need to prove it to you? I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, so just hide somewhere and don't make me sick."
"What did you say!" Kawai Yuichi had never been insulted like this before, and he immediately clenched his fists, as if he wanted to fight.
The mature woman quickly ran over and stood in front of Kawai Yuichi, nodding and bowing to Gu Ran to apologize, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Yuichi! You can't fight here! Apologize quickly!"
Kawai Yuichi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go away! This is a matter between us men!"
Gu Ran said coldly: "Look at you, you are not as polite as your sister."
Kawai Yuichi was even more ashamed and angry: "This is my mother!"
Damn it...
Mother???
Isn’t it? Such a young mother?
Gu Ran was completely shocked.
But the mature woman nodded awkwardly and helplessly, confirming Kawai Yuichi's words.
It's really his mother!
According to Yuichi Kawai's age, as a mother, she must be at least almost 40, right?
But he looks like he is only in his early 30s!
Tsk tsk!
I have to say that we oriental women have a long flowering period, and the more mature they are, the more charming they are.
A big Japanese star around 40 years old...
Gu Ran couldn't help but asked Kawai Yuichi: "What's your mother's surname?"
