Gu Ran tried hard to control the surging blood in his body, and said calmly: "Actually, I know that I still have many shortcomings, and I am willing to make progress with everyone! Fight for the Bucks Steel Horns!"
"Fight for the Bucks Steel Horns!"
The whole team raised their arms and cheered.
Gu Ran knew very well in his heart that what he just said was not modesty, he really knew that he still had many shortcomings.
Fortunately... starting from the National High School Amateur League, there is still time to make up for these shortcomings!
Coach Carter was very satisfied with Gu Ran's speech.
Coach Carter pressed his palms to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Next, let me inform you about our other match in Group E."
All the players in the locker room pricked up their ears.
Coach Carter said: "According to the information just obtained from the official channels of the English Football Association, another match in Group E has also ended. Rugby School defeated Tombury with a score of 4:2 at their home court.
Qi Middle School.”
"So, our current standings in Group E are: Rugby Golden Fleece is temporarily ranked first with 3 points, we are temporarily ranked second in the group with 1 point due to our away goal, and Corsair is temporarily ranked in the group with 1 point due to our draw.
Third, while Tonbridge Wild Boars Jazz are temporarily fourth in the group with 0 points."
"Oh ho!"
"We are second in the group!"
The members of the Bucks Steel Horns cheered with joy.
Carter frowned and shouted: "Why are you happy? This is the first game. Our next two games will be more difficult to play. Three days later, we will go to Tonbridge Middle School as a guest. They will definitely fight hard.
We are looking for 3 points! If we are defeated, then our points will be at the bottom! Now, go and take a shower. After taking a shower, let’s hurry up and get out of here.”
"Yes! Coach..."
Soon, the Bucks Steel Horns players took a shower, put on clean clothes, and left the visiting team's locker room talking and laughing.
Coach Carter was the last one left in the locker room to finish.
Gu Ran had already walked out of the locker room when he suddenly thought that he should share his personal statistics for his debut with Coach Carter as a souvenir.
So, Gu Ran turned back and went in again.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Coach Carter undoing his belt and peeing toward the corner of the locker room.
"You damn pirate ship bastards, anyone who dares to insult me, I will also leave you some gifts..."
Coach Carter was very happy with it, and even shivered with joy after finishing it.
Damn this old man...
It tastes really strong!
Gu Ran quickly hid back.
Ten minutes later, the Bucks Steel Horns boarded a chartered bus and headed to Manchester Airport.
When we arrived at the airport, we still had more than two hours before boarding the plane.
Coach Carter lets the players move around freely.
Gu Ran threw away those bad boys, found a Chinese restaurant by himself, and had a delicious meal.
After eating and drinking, Gu Ran began to wander around the commercial area of the airport.
When I go out, I should at least bring a gift to Sophie.
Otherwise, I would be sorry that Sophie spent two or three hours in the morning to see her off.
Gu Ran was thinking as he walked past a Cartier jewelry store, a Balenciaga women's clothing store, a Chanel perfume store, an SK-II cosmetics store, a doll shop, a flower shop...
Finally, Gu Ran stopped and walked into an inconspicuous airport bookstore.
In one minute, Gu Ran bought the first four volumes of "A Song of Ice and Fire"!
"A Song of Ice and Fire" is the original novel of the film and television series "Game of Thrones" that is about to start filming and become popular all over the world.
The crew Sophie is going to audition for over the weekend is the "Game of Thrones" crew.
Let Sophie read the original work in advance. This gift is definitely the best gift for Sophie.
In the future, Sophie will definitely be moved to death when she thinks about this gift!
Why only buy the first four volumes?
Because Uncle Martin, the author of Long Life Without Borders, has only written the fourth volume so far.
The fifth volume will not be released until 2013. As for the sixth volume "The Cold Wind of Winter"...
Gu Ran has never waited for this in his previous life.
If there is a chance to go to Hollywood in the future, Gu Ran must bring the razor blade to visit Uncle Martin and ask him why he writes so slowly...
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the squeaky small regional plane took off carrying the Bucks Steelhorns.
When it was close to 10 o'clock, Gu Ran took a taxi back to Turner's house.
The Turner family hadn't gone to bed yet, they were all sitting in the living room waiting for Gu Ran.
When Gu Ran pushed open the door and walked in, Sophie was the first to stand up.
Sophie seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end Sophie just opened her mouth and said lightly: "I'm back."
Gu Ran grinned, "Well, I'm back."
Andrew asked eagerly: "Gu! Do you win or lose?"
Sally frowned and shouted to her husband: "What's the matter with you? You've been tired for a day, and you just came home and asked if you won or lost? Gu, ignore Uncle Andrew and tell Auntie, are you still used to eating outside?
?Auntie specially left you a portion of your favorite lamb kidney pie, and even added oysters and mustard to it."
I kind of think it's your Aunt Sally who thinks so.
Gu Ran waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, Aunt Sally, stop working, I've finished dinner. Uncle Andrew, our game against the Corsairs ended in a draw at 2:2."
Andrew quickly asked: "What's the score of your group?"
Gu Ran answered truthfully: "Second for now."
"Not bad, not bad!" Andrew smiled happily: "The Bucks Steel Horns should be the lowest team among the top 32 teams in the country. They can draw with the Corsairs in the away game and temporarily rank second in the group. This result is really good.
Yes! By the way, Gu, you didn’t play, right?”
Gu Ran smiled and said, "I came on as a substitute in the second half and played for more than 40 minutes."
Andrew said in shock: "You can actually play? Gu, are you kidding me? Coach Carter of your team is famously vicious. He can make you, a Chinese - sorry, I don't mean to offend."
Gu Ran shrugged, "It doesn't matter."
Andrew continued: "Carter can let you, a rookie player who has only joined the school team for three days, come on as a substitute? He must be crazy, right?"
Gu Ran smiled and said: "Maybe so, but I feel like I can play pretty well."
This is already a very humble statement!
In fact, Gu Ran not only played well, he was like the whole Kerry team!
Andrew asked: "So what's your post-game rating?"
Gu Ran answered truthfully: "7.1 points."
Andrew burst out laughing, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Sally next to her asked: "7.1 is not a high score, why is it impossible?"
Andrew sneered: "What do you know? The most important data for post-match ratings is playing time. Gu just said it himself. He only played for more than 40 minutes, less than half a game! With a rating of 7.1, he is better than others.
The game score is high! According to this, if he played the whole game, he would have scored at least 8 points or more! How could he, a newbie and a substitute, get such a high score?! Unless he is a genius! And he has to be
Talent-level super genius!”
Gu Ran said helplessly: "Uncle Andrew, everything I said is true."
Andrew chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, what's real or fake? Gu, uncle was also young, and he knows your little thoughts! Don't you just want to brag about yourself in front of girls of the same age and make yourself look awesome?
Let girls of the same age admire you and like you. I am someone who has been there, and the tricks you used to pick up girls in my era are all the tricks I used to pick up girls. I can understand it - do you have a crush on my Sophie? That’s why you deliberately did it in front of Sophie
Show off yourself, say that you played, and say that your post-game ratings were very high? Are you still going to say that it was because you played that you saved the Bucks Steel Horns from almost collapse? Without you, the Bucks Steel Horns would have been
Can’t get this 1 point?”
Damn it!
Uncle, your understanding has also jumped!
I was different from you when I was young, okay?
I'm so handsome, do I need skills to pick up girls?
I really just want to play football!
Gu Ran quickly explained, "No, no, no! Uncle, you really misunderstood! I'm really 7.1! I was going to get my post-match score sheet back, but something went wrong... But you can give me
Coach Carter called! He can prove it to me! I really played, my post-game rating was really high, I really saved... without me... I, I, I..."
Oh, let me go! Why can’t I explain clearly?!
Sally giggled and said: "Gu, you are quite cute when you are anxious. Don't be nervous. We are different from Chinese parents. As long as Sophie is willing, we will not object - Sophie is already 17 years old.
When I was 17, I was already... 17 years old. I mean, at Sophie's age, it's really time to have a boyfriend."
"Mom!!!" Sophie blushed, "You... are so boring!!!"
After saying that, Sophie turned around and went upstairs.
Gu Ran was immediately numb:
Damn it!
Sophie, don't go!
Come down and speak clearly to your parents!
What a sin!
It's all Coach Carter's fault!
…
at the same time.
Coach Carter sneezed loudly, pushed open the door and walked into a neon-lit "Pink Mermaid Bar" next to the port pier...
