After the team members got off the bus, they immediately transferred to a chartered bus that the drummer had already contacted and headed to the town of Tonbridge, Kent, southeast of London.
Tonbridge Secondary School, one of the three most aristocratic schools in the UK, is located in the town of Tonbridge.
This was originally the fiefdom of an established noble.
In 1533, this nobleman developed this wasteland into a school for the children of the royal family to receive education.
Therefore, Tonbridge Secondary School has a history of nearly 500 years.
Historically, many members of the British royal family attended school here.
Of course, the most impressive thing about Tonbridge Secondary School is that as a secondary school, they actually have a TSC sports center covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, and some of the sports venues and venues have reached Olympic standards.
After riding a chartered bus for more than an hour, the Bucks Steel Horns team arrived at this famous aristocratic public school.
No Jazz Jazz players came to greet him, only a staff member in a suit with an arrogant face and looking at people from above his nostrils came to contact him.
This staff member was more of a supervisor than a guide and escort throughout the entire process. It seemed that he was afraid that this group of "hillbillies" from Southampton would steal or damage things belonging to their Tonbridge Middle School.
Apart from feeling a very obvious sense of contempt and arrogance, the rest of the process was pretty smooth.
At 12 o'clock sharp, the Bucks Steelhorns entered the Tonbridge Middle School staff cafeteria for dinner - yes, not the student cafeteria, but the staff cafeteria.
Originally, Xitiao and others were very angry about this, but after entering the staff restaurant, Xitiao and the others could no longer care about their anger.
Every dish at the Tonbridge Center staff meal is as exquisite as a work of art.
Compared with the staff meal at Tonbridge Centre, the buffet at Manchester Grammar School is nouveau riche style.
The Bucks Steelhorns players finished lunch and rested for another hour before going to the designated training ground at Tonbridge Middle School for pre-match training.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Bucks Steelhorns were led by arrogant suit staff to the visiting team's dressing room at No. 3 Stadium in Tonbridge.
Compared with the visiting team dressing room at Manchester Grammar School, the visiting team dressing room at No. 3 Tonbridge Stadium is like a five-star hotel.
Not only is it large, but it also has an aristocratic, refined and high-end feel everywhere.
The locker room is clean and spotless, and there is even a separate treatment room.
And this is not the best stadium at Tonbridge Secondary School, nor is it the best dressing room.
Xi Tiao couldn't help but said: "These nobles are so extravagant! They even have such a grand dressing room! However, from the perspective of the dressing room alone, they are better behaved than those brats from the pirate ship."
Minato sneered, "You are wrong about that. Can the Wild Boar Jazz be a good person? They just think they are too noble and disdain us civilians for doing tricks. The official game will start later, everyone is welcome, even if we are
If we can’t win, we have to kick those dead nobles to death!”
"Yes! Fuck them!"
The Bucks Steel Horns players clenched their fists in response.
Coach Carter walked into the locker room, glanced majestically across the field, and began to lecture:
"The pre-match training just now, to be honest, you didn't achieve the results I expected. I'm not very satisfied. You still have a lot of headaches, but there is no other way now, the game is about to start.
"
"However, I still want to say a few more words."
"This game is the most important game we face."
"Everyone knows that the Tonbridge Wild Boars Jazz we faced today have 0 points."
"In the last round, they lost to the Rugby Golden Fleece team."
"And today, when they return to their home court, they will definitely try their best to score three points from us at all costs."
"They regard us as fish belly, and we are fish belly that is sour and smelly."
"They think we will lose."
Carter paused for a moment and asked in a cold tone: "So, tell me, are you guys fat?"
The entire Bucks Steelers roared: "No! Coach! We are not!"
Carter raised his voice again: "What the hell are you, country bumpkins, fish sellers?"
The Bucks Steelhorns roared wildly: "No! Coach! We are not!"
Coach Carter sneered and said, "The slogan is very loud...but there is a high probability that you will lose this game, and you will even lose miserably."
The Bucks Steelhorns players all had their heads lowered.
Indeed, objectively speaking, there is a big gap in strength between the two teams. The Bucks Steelhorns still have big problems themselves, and this is their home court.
Carter continued to say scornfully: "With our current passing and receiving cooperation that always makes mistakes, how can we not lose? So, we are still the stinky fish bellies in the impression of those noble nobles - deep in your hearts
, is that what everyone thinks?”
The players immediately clenched their fists hard.
Captain Bread stood up and said, "Coach! Whoever dares to think like this in the Bucks Steel Horns team, I will be the first to kill him!"
"Yes! Whoever dares to think so, we will kill him!"
"Southampton Bucks Steel Horns, no matter how weak we are, we will never give in to the nobles!"
"Today we must kick the shit out of Tonbridge!"
The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was explosive!
Gu Ran knew clearly that this was Coach Carter's words, but standing next to these second-tier teammates, Gu Ran couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic.
I saw a smile appear on the corner of Coach Carter's mouth, and he said fleetingly: "Very good, if you all really think so, then our Bucks Steel Horns team still has hope of appearing as a group."
"Qualify the group?"
"Coach...didn't you make a slip of the tongue?"
In the group of death, qualify as the fourth worst team?
I would never dare to think so in my wildest dreams!
"I didn't make a slip of the tongue." Carter said solemnly: "I'm talking about qualifying for the group! From the beginning to the end, my goal, Lamar Carter, is very clear, that is to lead your group to qualify! We already have 1 point, as long as today's
We can draw with the Wild Boars Jazz in the game, and then return to our home court to win the Rugby Golden Fleece in the third round. We can accumulate 5 points and qualify as second in Group E!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire visiting team's locker room was in an uproar.
"Is the coach crazy?"
"It's hard to beat the Wild Boar Jazz, but the coach actually wants to beat last year's runner-up Golden Fleece team?"
"Is the coach being sarcastic?"
"I think...it's just irony. He is satirizing us."
"Well... the coach is capable of doing things like this to ridicule us."
Almost all the players thought that Coach Carter was talking in his sleep.
Only Gu Ran's eyes lit up slightly.
As a reborn person with 12 years of experience, Gu Ran immediately understood Coach Carter’s strategy!
Just listen to Coach Carter continue to explain: "If you can draw with the Wild Boar Jazz today, then in our Group E, who else can threaten the Rugby Golden Fleece group's first place?"
"When there is no suspense about the Golden Fleece's first place in the group, they will never waste the physical fitness of their main players for a meaningless away game. They will prepare for the top 16 knockout rounds, the top 8 knockout rounds, and even the next four games.
Strong competition, battle for championship and runner-up.”
"I can tell you 100% that when the third round returns to our home court, all we need to face is the Golden Fleece substitute team."
"Our three points will come from the Golden Fleece substitute team."
"That's my strategy."
Carter took a deep breath and raised his voice and asked: "So you tell me, at our home stadium of Southampton Bucks Steel Horn, you can't beat a substitute team?"
"No! Coach! We can!"
The emotions of all Bucks Steel Horns players were completely ignited!
They really saw hope of qualifying from the group!
Before, the players knew they had to play hard, but no one dared to think about qualifying from the group.
And now, after Carter's analysis, qualifying for the group is really possible!
The premise is to draw or even win against the Wild Boar Jazz!
"Okay..." Carter slowly raised his head, "Prove it to me!"
