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

Chapter 373 Beckham called!Beckham: Why did you try to upgrade?

After leaving Laisi's office, Gu Ran felt a little heavy.

It can be said that Old Rice played a very important role in Gu Ran being able to come to Southampton Club. Without Old Rice trying his best to apply for a labor certificate, it would be impossible for Gu Ran to play in the professional league in the UK. .

Gu Ran was very grateful to Laisi and agreed with Laisi very much.

Now, Rice is leaving the club, and not only Rice is leaving, but the other two veteran senior executives are also leaving.

From now on, there will be no "own people" in the club's senior management.

But that’s fine, in the future you don’t have to care about the club’s feelings. As long as you’re not happy, you can just transfer and leave.

Perhaps, one day in the future, if I buy the Southampton Club, I can drag the old Les back to take charge of the club...

But it's not easy to buy a club, you have to hurry up and get the money.

Just having money is not enough, you also need to have a trustworthy acquisition team with excellent business quality.

Oh, let’s do it step by step.

Gu Ran practiced for another hour on the training ground. After practicing the target plan he had set for today, Gu Ran took a shower, changed clothes and left.

Just after returning to Dune Villa for ice and fire therapy, my cell phone rang.

During this period, Evelin would chat with Gu Ran on the phone every day, and would invite Gu Ran to go horse riding at the manor every day.

Gu Ran also kept evading it.

After all, the recent schedule is quite tight, and Gu Ran wants to wait until the next break before riding.

Gu Ran also has a headache every time he hears the ringtone of his cell phone.

Gu Ran picked up the phone and took a look. This time it was an unfamiliar international number.

Could it be...the widowed sister?

Oops, I'm not mentally prepared for this!
I still have to prepare seriously for the remaining two games in August and the 8 games in September!

But if the widowed sister really comes, I will still treat her well.

While Gu Ran was thinking seriously, he quickly answered the phone and said in a magnetic voice: "Hello? I'm Gu Ran, who are you?"

A familiar and feminine voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Gu Ran, I am David Beckham."

Snapped!
Gu Ran hung up the phone subconsciously!

Damn it!
Not a widowed sister!
Isn't this feminine voice David Beckham?
The football star, the handsome guy, and his wife is the hottie Victoria, and the handsome man known as the Master of the Scimitar is better than David Beckham!

——Gu Ran's mind was filled with images of him disguising himself as an advertising photographer at Dune Beach four months ago and prostituted Beckham for free.

Why would David Beckham call me? !
Could it be that his prostitution for free came to light at that time, right?

It shouldn't be... my realistic acting skills are okay, it should be that I'm overly sensitive and have a sinister heart... Bah!

What is I afraid of?
I am now a little star after all!
Gu Ran took a deep breath, hesitated again, and finally... didn't call back.

After all...Beckham's wife is Victoria.

Gu Ran can not think about anything else, but he can't help but think about his sister-in-law!

If Beckham is not here to bring trouble, he must be here to develop friendship. Once you develop friendship with Beckham, you will naturally develop a friendship with your sister-in-law.

When the time comes to strengthen the heart-throb smile and you can't control it, something will happen.

Of course Gu Ran can control it, but he is afraid that his sister-in-law cannot control it!

Although this kind of consideration is a bit too long-term, it really cannot be ignored!
For the sake of long-term insurance, I will not take the initiative to call Beckham back this time.

It's best to pretend nothing happened.

Of course, if Beckham called again, Gu Ran would be embarrassed to refuse.

On the other side, Beckham was holding a beeping mobile phone with a confused look on his face:
"What's going on? Why did he hang up on me? Is it because I've been in Milan for a long time and my English is not up to par?"

"Or maybe this kid was so excited after hearing my name that he couldn't hold the phone and threw it on the carpet?"

"Or is he... busy?"

"Okay, wait 2 minutes and call again!"

Beckham looked at the time, waited patiently for 2 minutes, and then dialed Gu Ran's mobile phone number again.

Gu Ran on the other side looked at the incoming call and thought to himself about fate, then took a deep breath and answered the call again.

Beckham said softly when he opened his mouth: "Hey, Gu, I know everything about you!"

Snapped!
Gu Ran quickly hung up the phone again!

...This is so scary!
Does Beckham know everything about me?
Sure enough, he knew that the person pretending to be a photographer on the beach that day was me!

As expected, he came to raise an army to question the perpetrators!
Being questioned by Beckham, this, this, this, this, must be killed as soon as possible!

Beckham on the other side was dumbfounded again!

"What's going on? Why did you hang up on me again?"

"Isn't...2 minutes not enough?"

Beckham sighed, "Okay, it's quite long. Then wait another 2 minutes, I won't believe it!"

So, after another 2 minutes, Gu Ran's cell phone rang again.

It seemed like there was no way to escape... Gu Ran took a deep breath and picked up again.

Beckham said softly: "Hey, Gu, don't hang up the phone yet, I'm serious, we need to talk. Yesterday, Jim Lawler sent me a collection of scimitars of the moon, my God. Ah, you don’t know… what happened next!”

Gu Ran was slightly taken aback.

Beckham's call wasn't about pretending to be a photographer for free?

What you know is that I can kick out the full moon scimitar?

Damn it!Brother Bei, you told me earlier!I'm so scared that I don't even dare to answer your call!

Gu Ran immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Oh, Mr. Beckham, I'm sorry, there was something wrong with my phone just now, but it's fine now. Have you seen my collection of Scimitar of the Full Moon? Then what happened What?"

"Then..." Beckham on the other end of the phone rubbed his waist with a look of intoxication, "Hey hey hey, don't mention it! Anyway, I saw your round feet in the last game. Moon Scimitar, to be honest, I seem to have seen myself when I was young! So today I specifically asked Jim Lawler for your mobile phone number to call you personally."

Gu Ran said quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Beckham, your evaluation is really too high."

Beckham on the other end of the phone said: "Your Moon Scimitar and mine are very similar. I don't think any of us should be so polite. You can just call me David, and I'll call you Gu."

Gu Ran thought to himself: Shame on you, David. How can I have the nerve to call you David directly? Not to mention the age difference between me and David, nor the huge difference in reputation between you and me. Just say "Full Moon Scimitar", that's all what I paid for you for free, oh, there is also the long pass with the golden right foot, and the heartthrob smile... How can I have the nerve to call you "David" directly?

——After thinking about it in his mind, Gu Ran's ashamed mood was relieved.

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Okay, David."

Beckham asked in a soft voice: "Gu, I would like to ask, who did you learn the round-moon scimitar from?"

Gu Ran's mouth tightened slightly.

This question is very sensitive, and if the answer is not good, it is likely to become even more sensitive.

Gu Ran thought quickly and decided to use Enhanced Reality Acting +1 on Beckham over the phone.

Gu Ran sighed and said with full sense of reality: "That's right David, I've liked you since I was a child. Really, your full moon scimitar skills are unparalleled in the world. I have been imitating and learning since I was a child. Every detail of you , I study it carefully and then train it."

Beckham said in surprise: "Are you learning from me?"

"Yes," Gu Ran continued with a real sense of reality: "My family was poor when I was a child. I stayed at a friend's house and couldn't watch the Premier League broadcast, so I frugally went to the video studio..."

Beckham was shocked, "Walter? Video hall? Your video hall there still shows my games?"

Gu Ran said matter-of-factly: "Of course, I have a lot of skills that I learned from the video room. After watching them in the video room, I secretly found a place where no one was and hung a rubber tire as a goal to practice. "

"God!" Beckham's feminine voice seemed particularly excited, "Isn't this me? Gu! You are exactly like me when I was a child! Really! I won't lie to you! I really didn't do it to get close to you. And put it this way! That was really how I was when I was a kid!”

Gu Ran secretly smiled in his heart, but said in surprise: "What? David, you, you, when you were a child... you also went to the video studio?"

Beckham laughed, "Of course! There were many video halls in London in the 90s, but they rarely showed games. After all, it is convenient for us to watch football. The ones shown in our video halls are all... Ahem, quite Technical things. In short, what I mean is that the conditions at home were not good when I was a child. I didn’t have a place to live until I entered Ferguson’s Class of 92, and I had to live in Gary Neville’s house. I worked extra hours by myself every day When we practice, we also use rubber tires as goals. Gu, I didn’t say this on purpose just to get close to you, I really mean it! All I can say is that we are so similar! No wonder you can also play with the goal. Here comes the Moon Scimitar of my style! You are the younger version of me!"

Gu Ran suppressed a smile and said, "David, I'm glad to get your approval."

I heard Beckham excitedly say: "Gu, I really hit it off with you - this may not be appropriate to say, after all, we have never met, but whether you believe it or not, I always have a very strange feeling, That means we are already very familiar, just like old friends who have met before. I don't know how to describe this feeling. Maybe this is the legendary divine friendship?" Gu Ran quickly said: "David, I have it too. Same feeling."

Beckham said in admiration: "Gu, I really like you so much. Are you willing to be friends with me? Not an ordinary casual friend, but a good friend who can be called brothers and sisters?"

Gu Ran immediately said: "What a great brother!"

Beckham said happily: "Good brother!"

...It's over, I feel closer to my sister-in-law.

Gu Ran sighed quietly in his heart and continued to shout realistically: "What a great brother!"

Beckham said excitedly: "Good brother!"

"Good brother!"

"Good brother! Woohoo!"

Beckham was almost lost in the shouts of "Good brother".

"Brother, if you have any difficulties, tell me at any time. If you need anything, tell me at any time. I don't dare to say anything else. In the football world, I can still speak easily."

"Thank you, Brother Bei! I don't have any difficulties. If Brother Bei has any difficulties, you can tell me."

After all, Beckham was paid for in vain, and the Moon Scimitar was now Gu Ran's trump card. Gu Ran always felt like he wanted to compensate Beckham.

Beckham took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, I heard that you are still playing for a certain English League club?"

Gu Ran secretly laughed in his heart: Do you even need to hear about this?You've all seen my collection of Scimitars of the Moon, do you recognize Southampton's jersey?

It seems that this is getting to the point.

Okay, then I'll cooperate.

Gu Ran then replied calmly: "Yes, Brother Bei, I am now playing left back for Southampton."

Beckham immediately said: "Hey, brother, you are so talented, why do you want to play in the League One team and also play as a left back? No, no, no, the big brother must do this for you! You listen to the big brother, While the summer transfer period hasn't passed yet, you can transfer to Manchester United, the biggest club in the Premier League, to play! Manchester United are all my own. If you go to Manchester United, they will take care of you from top to bottom!"

Knew it.

There is so much foreplay ahead, and the main topic is the transfer to Manchester United.

Gu Ran smiled and refused directly: "Thank you, Brother Bei, but I think Southampton is pretty good at the moment. I am very happy staying here."

There is no need to be procrastinating about this kind of thing, just refuse it directly. It will be bad for your mother-in-law and mother.

Although I do want to compensate Beckham, there is no need to sacrifice my own future to compensate.

In the worst case, I can just buy the Los Angeles Galaxy and let my good brother help manage it.

After Gu Ran refused, he also tried to PUA, "Brother Bei, you won't treat me as a brother just because I don't go to Manchester United, will you?"

Beckham quickly said: "Well, of course not! One code is the same, how could we lose the relationship between brothers just because of a word? But... I still can't help but say, Manchester United is It's a wealthy club. If you go to Manchester United, you can quickly become a big star in Europe. Brother, you should really think about it."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "There's no rush. I want to lay the foundation in the lower leagues first. After all, I'm still young."

Beckham was suddenly speechless.

Just now, he kept saying "Good brother", which was so real. Why did he just get down to business and be killed in just one sentence?
Is it because I, the elder brother, didn’t act well?Or am I not giving enough?
This morning I was patting my chest with the old man Ferguson to ensure that Gu Ran would take the initiative to join Manchester United. How should I explain this situation to the old man now?
Beckham was unwilling to give in and continued to persuade: "Brother, I think you have the skills of the Full Moon Scimitar that are almost the same as mine. What else do you need to lay the foundation for? To be honest, it shouldn't be said. Isn't it just for us to lay the foundation? To join a wealthy club? Besides, how much money can Southampton give you? What kind of team status can it give you? We at Manchester United are the Red Devils!"

It is true that Manchester United is the Red Devils, but as a reborn person, Gu Ran understands better than anyone that Sir Alex Ferguson is the soul of the Red Devils. Once Ferguson retires, Manchester United will only be the afterglow.

As long as the Glazer family, the blood-sucking family, controls Manchester United, Manchester United will be in trouble.

In the whole world, only Sir Alex Ferguson can stand up to the Glazer family. If he really transfers to Manchester United at this time, he will fall into a pit of fire as soon as Sir Alex Ferguson retires next year.

How can anyone still be determined to plunge into a pit of pure fire after being reborn?

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I actually don't pay much attention to weekly salary and contract positioning, but since you asked, Brother Bei, I will answer truthfully: My current weekly salary is 8000 pounds, and the contract positioning is the only core of the team. Nan'an The whole team's tactics revolve around me."

Beckham on the other end of the phone suddenly became silent.

This, this, this, how can we continue talking about this?

This little brother’s weekly salary is higher than my current weekly salary in Milan!
I should call him big brother!
Southampton... I'm so willing to give it!

Although Manchester United may be considered a wealthy club, it is absolutely impossible to give Gu Ran a weekly salary of 8000 pounds, let alone give Gu Ran a core position in the Manchester United team that is full of big names. Moreover, the Glazer family behind Manchester United has to eat people. The bones are clean...

Beckham cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Well... I also think that we shouldn't pay too much attention to weekly salary and contract positioning. Manchester United has a cultural heritage and the greatest coach Ferguson."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Brother Bei, no matter what, I am very grateful to you for calling me, and I am very happy to chat with you. But I think let's forget about the transfer to Manchester United. We brothers, only Let’s talk about relationships, not transfers, okay? It’s getting late now, and I have to get up early tomorrow to train and prepare for the next game, so let’s just stop talking about it today and talk about it later, okay?”

"Gu, why don't you think about it again?"

"Okay, I'll think about it again. Goodbye."

"Oh, bye."

After hanging up the phone with each other, Beckham held the phone and looked depressed.

I originally thought that from the perspective of strength and status, Gu Ran would be excited to join the Red Devils family and earn a big favor, but unexpectedly, Gu Ran was not interested in Manchester United!

This, this, this!Who can say no to Manchester United?Who can say no to Ferguson?
As a child of the Red Devils, Beckham was puzzled.

The eldest brother and brothers recognized it, but they didn't seem to really recognize it.

Beckham took a deep breath and called Ferguson.

"Coach, it's me. I'm sorry to bother you so late." Beckham's voice was a little nervous. Even though he had left Manchester United for a long time, he would become uncontrollably nervous whenever he talked to Coach Ferguson.

This tension has already seeped into his blood.

In front of Ferguson, there were never any big-name stars, they were all his children.

Ferguson's dominance of the locker room was not just in the locker room, but extended to the lives of every Manchester United player.

"My son, how are things going?" Coach Ferguson's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ferguson's voice is very distinctive. As a Scotsman, he also has the weirdest Glaswegian dialect in Scotland. Not to mention that it is difficult for players outside the United Kingdom to understand, even local players in the United Kingdom sometimes have difficulty understanding it.

But Beckham has long been accustomed to Ferguson's accent and speaking style that is emphatic but not arrogant.

Beckham said apologetically: "I'm sorry coach, I couldn't convince Gu Ran to join Manchester United."

"Oh?" There was no disappointment in Coach Ferguson's voice, just slight surprise.

Beckham explained: "I first got close to him with our scimitar. In fact, I was very successful in this step. I learned that he was exactly the same as me when I was a child. He used tires to practice free kicks. The two of us The conversation was very good, but when I mentioned that I wanted to help him transfer to Manchester United so that he could become a big star, he refused directly."

"Oh." Coach Ferguson on the other end of the phone obviously understood.

Beckham continued: "I haven't had time to mention to him the weekly salary and benefits that Manchester United can give him, because he directly said that Southampton's weekly salary for him is 8000 pounds, and the contract position is the only tactical core of the team - —As soon as I heard it, I knew there was no need to mention Manchester United’s 1500 weekly salary as a substitute.”

"Yes, this is indeed a lot worse..." Coach Ferguson on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I already know about this. You tried your best, son, I believe you must have I tried my best. As for the result, it doesn't matter. Fortunately, I know it's not too late. The summer window is not completely over yet. I will find a way to deal with the rest. Now, it's time for you to go to bed. "

Beckham suddenly felt guilty, "I'm really sorry, coach. I let you down again."

Coach Ferguson said: "No, son, I am not disappointed. You can still recruit talents for the Red Devils after leaving the Red Devils. I am very satisfied with you. Moreover, Gu Ran is indeed not that easy to recruit. If Gu Ran If it was easy to dig, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City would have already succeeded."

Beckham was stunned, "My little brother turns out to be interested in so many big clubs! Then we can't give up!"

Coach Ferguson said: "Okay, my son, go to bed."

"Yes, coach."

After hanging up the phone, Beckham couldn't calm down for a long time:
My little brother turns out to be so awesome!

I really should meet him offline and have a good chat.

It's a pity that my boys are in Milan and the Serie A match schedule is intensive. I can't go back to the UK for the time being. Otherwise, I really can make an appointment.

and many more……

Suddenly an idea came to Beckham's mind:
I can’t go back. Doesn’t my wife Victoria go back often?
Wouldn't it be enough to let my wife convince Gu Ran?
Although my wife is not a football player, she is like a big sister in the entire entertainment and fashion industry!
Beckham slapped his thigh and said, "I'm such a genius!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Victoria pushing open the door wearing a thin nightgown, "What are you so happy about?"

Beckham said excitedly: "Honey, I want you to help me convince my little brother - please!"

Victoria chuckled, then turned her back and closed the door, "Damn it~ Why did you try to level up?"

Beckham: ? ? ?
