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

Chapter 39 Southampton High School's proudest number!
"What are you doing together without training?" Coach Carter asked majestically.

Captain Bread said quickly: "There is no coach, we are just... guiding Rust Stripe."

Minato and the others nodded, "That's right, we are guiding Rusty Stripe."

Carter frowned and shouted: "Guide? Shit! Do you think I will trust you? You must have played together as soon as I left! You are all old players! You really let me down! Look at the newcomers Gu Ran, why didn't he play with you?"

The players all bowed their heads, not daring to refute.

Where Gu Ran was, there was a pile of footballs on the ground, which had been wiped by the drummer before.

But at the moment, the drummer is also with Rust Strip, so it seems that Gu Ran did all the dirty work.

Gu Ran quickly explained: "Coach, I actually didn't do anything..."

"Listen!" Coach Carter said in a deep voice: "Listen to Gu Ran! You have done so many things, but you humbly say that you have done nothing! Look at you again! Don't you feel ashamed? Don't you blush? After the training is over, except for Gu Ran, everyone else will practice for an extra half an hour on the training ground!"

"what?!"

The team members are all complaining!
Coach Carter roared with a serious face: "Ah, what? Come on, just practice for an extra hour!"

This time, the team members all shut up.

Everyone's negative emotions are close to bursting.

Gu Ran was secretly sorry.

It would be great if there is still progress in picking up!
No, I used to be afraid that I would not have the opportunity to pick up the professional training results, but now that I have joined the team, I have to pick it up selectively!
Well, starting tomorrow, selective pickup.

Seeing that the players were honestly afraid to speak anymore, Coach Carter nodded in satisfaction, "Now, everyone gather here, and I will announce the 22-man roster for the national competition!"

All the players in the training ground immediately lined up in front of Carter.

There are more than 30 players in the entire Southampton private school, but only 22 can enter the national competition squad.

From a professional point of view, this is also called a registration list.

If you don't enter this big list, you are not a registered player in the high school competition, then it is absolutely impossible to start or substitute, let alone appear on the field directly by airborne.

Of course, even if you register for the 22-man roster, it's just a starter, a substitute, and a backup.

Substitute players are not even eligible to go to the field of play, and they can only progress when the substitute players need to be replaced.

Only after entering the 18-man competition squad can it be regarded as being able to follow the team into the competition venue.

And only when you enter the 11-man starting list, you can be considered as the main player, and you can play from the player tunnel and enjoy the cheers of the fans.

The 11-man starting roster must be selected from the 18-man match roster, and the 18-man match roster must be drawn from the 22-man registration roster.

Even the operation of professional clubs every season is the same.

Every season, professional clubs must first determine the "registered squad" for the league, the Champions League, and cup competitions at all levels, and then make selections and adjustments based on the players in the squad to finalize the "competition squad" of 18 players, and then go to the official competition. 1 hour before the opening, submit the starting roster of 11 players.

Generally speaking, the 1-man roster must be submitted no later than one hour before, but the World Cup is an exception. The World Cup requires that the 11-man roster be submitted no later than half an hour before the start of the game.

In some critical games, when to submit the 11-man roster is also part of the coach's tactics.

And now, the Southampton High School team has just confirmed the 22-man registration squad.

Coach Carter began announcing the names and jersey numbers of registered players.

Gu Ran stood in the last row of the team, listening to Carter's reading with a calm face.

The main players that the drummer introduced to Gu Ran before were all impressively listed.

The rest are all names that Gu Ran has never heard of.

The faces of these non-main players who were named were full of excitement, and other players applauded and congratulated.

When announcing the last place, Coach Carter paused for a moment, and found Gu Ran through the gap in the crowd, "...the last one, Gu Ran."

No applause.

Everyone was not very surprised by this. After all, Coach Carter delayed the application for registration until the end, in order to wait for Gu Ran's emergency team medical examination report.

Gu Ran's face was calm, and he was slightly relieved.

Whether there is applause from others is not important, being able to register means that there is a chance to enter the bench lineup.

And being able to enter the bench lineup means having the opportunity to play games.

Everything was in Gu Ran's original plan.

Coach Carter then said: "Gu Ran's jersey number is... 3."

Whoa!
All the players on the field exclaimed in a low voice!

Position 3 is the position of the main left back!
It's also the jersey number of that "dog on" Olin of the Bucks Steelhorns!

Not only that, the No. 3 jersey is of great significance throughout Southampton!
The "Great Sage" Bell, who came out of Southampton's youth training, wears the No. 3 jersey!

Therefore, the No. 3 jersey of the Southampton school team is also a very important number.

No one expected that Coach Carter would directly give it to the new Chinese kid!
Even Gu Ran himself was a little shocked.

Although this does not mean that Coach Carter will let Gu Ran start directly, but Coach Carter will definitely train Gu Ran as a core player in the future.

No. 3 jersey...

Gu Ran couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Coach Carter said in a deep voice: "Gu, the No. 3 jersey was originally the core number of our Bucks Steel Horns team, but its previous owner abandoned it, which shamed it and shamed our entire Bucks Steel Horns team." Shame! Today, I hand over No. 3 to you, and one day in the future, you will wash away the humiliation for it and make him the proudest number of Southampton High School again!"

Coach Carter questioned loudly in a hoarse voice: "Tell me, Gu, can you do it?"

Gu Ran suddenly felt his blood rushing to the top, looked at Carter with extremely firm eyes, and shouted loudly: "Coach! I can do it!"

Coach Carter nodded in satisfaction, "Very good! This is the answer I want!"

Gu Ran: ...

Holy crap, I'm a second grader!
I thought it would be two days later for the second class, but I didn’t expect the atmosphere to be so high, it’s impossible not to be in the second class!
Ugh!
It's all the fault of these sand sculpture teammates!
I better not get too involved with them...

I heard Coach Carter announce again: "Okay, except for Gu Ran, everyone else will stay for half an hour to practice. Tomorrow afternoon we will have a group confrontation. I will determine the 18-man team based on everyone's performance in the group confrontation. The roster, your new jerseys, will also be sent to you tomorrow."

Coach Carter explained a few more things about training, and then left holding the tactical board.

"Gu Ran...!!!"

Rust Strip took a deep breath, and walked towards Gu Ran with a gloomy expression!
