Chapter 226: Hugging your thighs! Starting against the wind, it was a fatal mistake! Dad is here!
The coaches and directors of the evaluation team took their seats on the sidelines.
They were whispering to each other, and it was easy to see from their gazes and gestures that their focus was on Gu Ran, who was training with the team.
Gu Ran is the hero of Southampton High School, the star of hope of Southampton Club, and the heart and soul of Old Rice - the last person whom Old Rice valued so much was Gareth Bale, so the whole
The club's coaching staff are looking forward to seeing Gu Ran's wonderful performance on their home court.
Speaking of which, Gareth Bale cannot be regarded as one of the top stars, but Bale came from Southampton Club after all, and Southampton Club is proud of Bale.
Gu Ran had a calm expression on his face and continued to practice his tricks on the court step by step, without any trace of nervousness at all.
With the blessing of the title of national championship, coupled with Gu Ran's own big heart, Gu Ran was born for big scenes. Games like team training matches are just small scenes in comparison.
nervous?
Of course not.
But there is definitely excitement.
Getting excited as soon as the competition comes, this is the quality of a naturally strong person.
Before his rebirth, Gu Ran did not have such qualities. His palms were sweaty even when he was nervous about any interview. However, after his rebirth, Gu Ran has undergone earth-shaking changes. Both physically and mentally, he has the qualities of a strong person.
quality.
And this is just the beginning.
As the evaluation team took their seats, the atmosphere on the training ground became increasingly tense.
The weather today is not very good, the humidity is high, the turf is a bit slippery, and the wind is strong.
So later on, when grouping and choosing sides, you must be very particular.
Choosing the left half with the wind and the right half with the headwind will definitely have different effects on the players' performance.
——This is also an inevitable objective situation in outdoor courts.
Coach Dodd clapped his hands and called all the players who were training on their own to the midfield area of the court.
The players responded quickly and quickly gathered into three rows.
It seems that running slower is disrespectful to the members of the evaluation team.
Gu Ran was still standing in the back row of the team with a low profile.
Yuichi Kawai wanted to squeeze into the front row, but no one gave him a chance.
Coach Dodd cleared his throat with a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice:
"Next, we will have a team training match. I think everyone should understand the importance of this team training match even if I don't say it."
"For some of you players, the apprenticeship contracts of the youth team are about to expire. Based on your previous performance, it is basically impossible to be promoted to the first team. After all, you are not like me and Alan Shearer who can directly graduate from the youth team."
A player promoted to the first team."
"However, you still have the opportunity to be promoted to the reserve team first."
"Each of you has the opportunity to fully express yourself on the court, so at this critical time, you'd better not let it slip."
"I'm sorry if there's a problem. I promise that I won't let the person who has a problem appear in the friendly match against the Liverpool U18 team - because even if it's a friendly match, the Saints will try their best to win!"
Coach Dodd's words made the U18 youth team players present feel full of pressure.
The match against the Liverpool U18 team is also a good opportunity. If you play well, you can attract the attention of Liverpool Club, and even... you can get a contract from Liverpool Club!
Kawai Yuichi clenched his fists and whispered to himself: "Yoshi! I must enter the squad! I must let Liverpool see me!"
Gu Ran:...idiot son.
Gu Ran has no contract pressure, nor has he ever thought about asking for Liverpool's attention.
However, after all, this is Gu Ran's first intra-team game after training with the U18 youth team. There are many big guys waiting on the sidelines. Gu Ran also wants to test his training level during this period. What has he achieved?
To what extent.
Just listen to Coach Dodd say in a stern tone: "Before we group into groups, I have a few ugly words to say first - I know everyone wants to do their best to express themselves, but when fighting, when kicking, what the hell?
Let me be clean! Your opponents are your teammates. I don’t want to see flagrant fouls and violence on the court! If anyone dares to be cruel to his teammates, then don’t blame me for kicking him.
Kick him off the training ground!"
"The most important thing to note is that you are not allowed to foul Gu Ran!"
"Gu Ran is an important asset of the club. Who was so blind as to shovel and hurt Gu Ran? Don't even think about staying in this club, let alone this training ground!"
"Do you understand everything?"
"I understand! Coach!" the players of the U18 youth team shouted in unison.
Kawai Yuichi's face is full of jealousy.
He has never been treated like this!
Faced with such special care, Gu Ran felt it was somewhat unnecessary.
With his physique and golf intelligence, he doesn't need special care at all - the players who should be careful are the players who play against him.
Of course, Gu Ran couldn't refute Coach Dodd's kindness in public.
This reminded Gu Ran that after all, it was a training match within the team, and the scale of the confrontation should indeed be lighter, and it should not be treated as life-threatening as a formal game.
Gu Ran decided to hold back and kick.
"Okay, now let me briefly explain the rules of the intra-team competition."
"The game is 60 minutes in total, divided into two halves of 30 minutes each, with a 10-minute intermission and a change of venue after halftime."
"Team A goes to the right half first, and team B goes to the left half first."
"Team A wears red training vests, and team B wears green training vests."
"Team A kicks off first in the first half."
"Next, let's start dividing the teams - for the sake of fairness, we will use the method of drawing lots by position on the field this time. Those who get the red lottery will go to team A, and those who get the green lottery will go to team B."
"Any more questions?"
"No more! Coach!"
"Very good, then let's draw lots to form teams!"
Coach Dodd waved his hand, and the U18 physical fitness coach brought a box.
The U18 players took turns groping in the box.
Everyone hopes to get the green lottery and go to team B, because team B starts in the left half and starts with a tailwind, which is very beneficial for establishing an advantage.
Someone touches the green sign, and naturally someone touches the red sign.
Those who touched the green lottery were delighted, while those who touched the red lottery sighed.
The team moved quickly and orderly.
In less than 5 minutes, the players of the U18 youth team were divided into two teams, A and B, according to their respective positions.
Now, only Gu Ran and Kawai Yuichi have not been grouped.
"Yo Xi——" Kawai Yuichi was about to reach out and touch the box, but Coach Dodd frowned and stopped him: "You don't have to touch it."
"Nani..." Yudu Kawai's eyes widened in annoyance, "Coach! Didn't you say that everyone has a chance?"
Coach Dodd ignored Kawai Yuichi's question, but turned to Gu Ran and said kindly: "Gu, you don't need to touch it, because you are training with the team, and I have no right to decide your position on the field, so, you
Just toss a coin with Yuichi Kawai and decide which of you will go to team A and who will go to team B."
Gu Ran nodded, "Okay."
"That's it!" Kawai Yudu suddenly became excited, "Yoshi! Gu, we can finally face off! I will definitely beat you this time! Gu Ran, you coward! You don't dare to fight with me in the ring
, then I will use competition to defeat you!"
Gu Ran smiled coldly.
This cheap son needs to be beaten sooner or later. He must be beaten hard so that he can be honest.
Coach Dodd took out a coin and said, "Come on, heads or tails?"
Kawai Yuichi said first: "I want to face it!"
Gu Ran said calmly: "I want to face it."
Coach Dodd said: "Okay, Gu Ran, the front is yours."
Kawai Yuichi:……
Coach Dodd threw the coin into the air and skillfully caught it with the back of his hand——
"The reverse side is facing up, so... Gu Ran, you can choose."
Kawai Yuichi's face was full of questions, "Wait! Coach! Didn't you just say that Gu Ran is the positive one and I am the negative one?"
Coach Dodd put away the coins and stared at Yuichi Kawai coldly, "Are you questioning me?"
The muscles on Kawai Yuichi's face twitched slightly and he did not dare to say anything more.
Coach Dodd immediately said to Gu Ran with a smile on his face: "Gu, you are really generous enough - well, let him choose first. Anyway, I believe that with your strength, no matter which team you are on, you can win."
He can perform very well.”
Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh secretly: Coach Dodd's face-changing speed was truly unparalleled.
Kawai Yuichi took a deep breath, and then quickly took a look at the grouping situation of the two teams A and B.
Team b has the advantage of being first and having the wind.
Moreover, the overall strength of team b is obviously much higher than that of team a.
Usually, most of the main players of the U18 youth team who perform well in training are in the B team.
The A team is basically the substitute players of the U18 youth team.
Kawai Yuichi is also a thief, "I want to go to Team B!"
Coach Dodd had a look of disgust on his face that said "I think you look like B", "...Okay."
The players of Team A who were sighing immediately cheered excitedly!
The players from Team B, who originally thought they would get the lucky draw, frowned.
Team b already has two forwards, both of whom are considered main force. If we add another forward, will we not be able to play three forwards?
Playing three forwards is not a big problem, the key is, who the hell wants Yuichi Kawai!
During the trial period, Yuichi Kawai was so arrogant and caused trouble that he offended almost all the players in the U18 youth team!
It doesn't matter if you have offended them all. We are all professionals and will play in a professional manner on the field. But the problem is... Kawai Yuichi is not very good on the field!
In comparison, on the first day Gu Ran came to train with him, although he also criticized the U18 youth team because of the restaurant incident, no one in the U18 youth team was dissatisfied with Gu Ran. The more they trained together, the more the players began to treat Gu Ran.
However, I became more in awe.
And what is there about Yuichi Kawai that is worthy of awe?
Yuichi Kawai is very independent when playing on the court. After getting the ball, he usually shoots by himself. Even if other teammates are in better positions, Yuichi Kawai rarely passes the ball.
Yuichi Kawai is simply a cancer on the team!
Originally, the players of Team B were quite happy to receive the first-hand lottery, but now they realize that they were happy too early.
Not only do they have to be affected by Yuichi Kawai's team cancer, but what's even more troublesome is that they also have to face Gu Ran, a ruthless and powerful opponent.
How the hell do you play like this?
The team's training match hasn't even started yet, but the morale of team B has dropped a lot!
Coach Dodd immediately announced: "Okay, the team division has ended. I will give you the last 5 minutes to prepare and discuss the formation and tactics. In 5 minutes, the official kickoff will begin."
"yes!"
The players from Team A excitedly surrounded Gu Ran, talking all over the place:
"Gu! I'm so happy to play on the same team as you!"
"Haha, I thought I got a bad draw, but I didn't expect that I got Zhang Wangzhao in the end!"
"Gu! With you here, we are sure to win! A headwind can turn into a tailwind, and a tailwind can turn into a massacre!"
"Gu! Whether our brothers can get high ratings and get reserve team contracts depends entirely on you!"
"Gu, my life depends entirely on you!"
Damn it...
I know you want to hug your thighs, but I’m really not used to the way you nod and bend. I still like your unruly look in the restaurant...
Gu Ran suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry, "Football is not a sport for one person, let's all work together. Let's discuss the formation and tactics first?"
"Okay, okay, Gu, as long as you lead the brothers to play, you can say whatever you want!"
"Gu, we only have one forward here, how about you play as the forward?"
"Yes, Gu, you are the top scorer in the national competition! You even said in the Advance Saints that you wanted to be the top scorer in League One. You dare to say that, so you will definitely have no problem playing as a forward. With you here
, what other tactics do we need? Just push 442 flat."
"That's right! 442 pushed them flat!"
...Stop making trouble!
Mentioning "Progressive Saints", Gu Ran wanted to hold his forehead and cover his face.
Gu Ran quickly checked the staffing of Team A, and then said:
"When I was in the Bucks Steel Horns, I played as a left back. I am familiar with this position. Why don't I just play as a left back? It doesn't matter if there is only one forward. We will play the 4321 Christmas tree formation, 4 backs and 3 midfielders.
2 midfielders - left midfielder, you should switch positions with me at any time, add an isolated forward, try to get behind the opponent, and make quick advances and quick counterattacks."
"4321 Christmas tree?"
"We haven't practiced much."
"But no problem! If you say Christmas tree, we will kick it!"
"My favorite thing is to do it after death!"
"Gu, I'm a forward, remember to pass the ball to me more and let me score a goal to refresh my evaluation!"
"Gu, I'm a midfielder, and my linking ability is a bit poor. I rely on your movement to take over!"
"Gu, I'm a central defender. I'm a bit slow. Please be more patient with me at the back."
"Gu, I'm the goalkeeper, my saves are a bit poor..."
Gan!
You guys are not hugging my thigh, you are trying to hug me!
I'm a full-back!
I can guard the people you can't guard, I can guard the people you can't pass, I can pass the ball you can't pass, I can shoot the ball you can't score...
But you still let me help save the ball???
Am I allowed to handball the ball on the court?
Can he be used as Suarez?
Gu Ran couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Let's work hard together, let's work together..."
After discussing some details of tactical coordination, Gu Ran put on the red training vest.
The players of Team A formed a circle, high-fived each other, and then ran onto the court with confidence.
At this time, the players of team b also took up positions in the 433 formation, but their positioning status seemed contradictory - there was a good attacking midfielder in team b, and now the formation of 3 forwards directly suppressed it.
His forward penetration space.
After the two teams take their positions, the U18 assistant coach acts as the head referee, and the U18 physical coach and U18 technical coach act as line judges respectively.
beep!
As the U18 assistant coach blew the whistle, the team training match officially began.
First, Team A, wearing red training uniforms, kicked off.
The two sides started a fierce and restrained battle near the midfield.
In the first few minutes of the game, both sides played very disorganized, with frequent mistakes and conceding goals. Whether it was the 4321 Christmas tree formation or the 433 crazy attack formation, neither side was familiar with it.
However, a professional team is a professional team after all. After the first 5 minutes, the two sides quickly entered the state.
The offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides also changed very quickly.
Team b has many main players, and they cooperate well. Coupled with the advantage of tailwind, their main idea is to control and transport the ball in the midfield, and rely on the movement and confrontation of the forwards to gain opportunities.
The overall strength of Gu Ran's team A was relatively poor. Most of them were substitutes from the youth team. Also affected by the headwind, they started relatively passively.
Gu Ran kept the defensive formation stable on the left wing and did not have a good chance to get the ball for a while.
A few minutes before the start, they were beaten by team B, and the players of team A were a little anxious.
The two midfielders of team A jointly double-teamed the opposite center, which caused a big hole in the defense.
However, the center of team B was too eager to show off his breakthrough ability and failed to pass the ball when it was most appropriate.
——For this mistake, the midfielders of team A will be deducted points, and the center of team B will also be deducted points.
The center back of team a immediately stepped in and used a triangle defense to intercept the ball from the center of team b.
The moment the central defender of team A successfully intercepted the ball, Gu Ran instantly ejected and sprinted along the left wing at high speed while raising his hand to ask for the ball——
Naturally, the central defender knew this, and he directly kicked the ball towards his left wing——
However, another midfielder from team B had already predicted that the players from team A wanted to hug Gu Ran's thigh, and rushed to the passing route to intercept them.
After all, he is a professional player!
This ball was predicted and intercepted very beautifully!
Team B's successful interception was simply fatal to Team A!
The point where the ball was intercepted was near the 30-meter rib area, and what was even more fatal was that Gu Ran, as the left back, had almost reached the 40-meter area because of the synchronized start when his own center back intercepted the ball just now.
!
...Gu Ran has lost his position!
Behind Gu Ran, a large gap appeared!
The other central defender of team A did not help Gu Ran to fill the position immediately!
After all, they are not teammates. Even if they are professional players, it is difficult to achieve tacit cooperation with the grass-roots team.
Now, Team A is facing a serious situation!
When Gu Ran saw that the pass was intercepted, he immediately stopped and turned back to defend and chase the ball!
The main midfielder of team B did not dribble forward too much. Instead, before other defensive players of team A rushed up to form a triangle double-team, he kicked the ball into the space on the left side of the ribs.
The ball was distributed very smartly, and it can definitely be evaluated.
But after making the move, the main midfielder of team B regretted it...
The one closest to the gap on the left rib cage is Yuichi Kawai, who didn’t have a very good life in his childhood!
Kawai Yuichi shouted "Yoshi" while sprinting with all his strength to chase the ball!
Just by the sound of his shouting "Yoshi", you can feel his arrogance and arrogance!
Not to mention the players from team B who wanted to fuck him, even the teammates from team A wanted to fuck him.
Kawai Yuichi said "Yoshi" and quickly turned sideways to observe the positions of other defenders and goalkeepers of Team A.
Kawai Yuichi's intention is very obvious. After getting the ball, he immediately cuts in from the ribs and shoots directly like a Tiger!
Team A's defense quickly shrank to cover the area at the edge of the penalty area.
Although the strength of team A is much weaker than that of team B, after all, everyone has a professional background, and there are so many big guys sitting and watching off the court, so no one dares to lose track.
Just when Kawai Yuichi was about to touch the ball, an oppressive figure quickly approached from behind him!
