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

Chapter 423 Cousin Toffee!The chilly Urn Stadium!The highest honor for Everton loyalists!

Everton's ancestors were also richer.

Everton Club was founded in 1878 and is a founding member of the English League. It has won the English top league championship nine times, the FA Cup five times and the European Cup Winners' Cup once.

The most awesome thing about Everton is that this team has a very deep foundation and stability. Since the establishment of the club, Everton has only not played in the top league for 3 years, and those 3 years were also due to the impact of World War II. The reason is that Everton has never been relegated since 1954.

This kind of stability puts even Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool to shame. Among the top leagues in England (including the early League One and the Premier League after 92), only Arsenal has never been relegated.

Everton's team emblem is the Prince Rupert Tower, the most iconic building in the region. This tower has a conical top structure and is very historical.

But in fact, this tower is not the tower where the prince lives, but is used to imprison alcoholics and juvenile delinquents.

The lower ribbon of the team logo is the Everton team's motto: Nil Satis Nisi Optimum, which means that even if you know you have nothing, you can't give up.

Everton is also a club with many nicknames.

The well-known nickname is Toffee. This nickname comes from a toffee dessert shop called "Norbright's Damn" opposite the Everton Club. Every time Everton plays, Norbright he Mom’s female shopping guides all wore classic dresses, carried baskets, and walked around the venue, sprinkling toffee on the stands as a marketing tool.

Over time, this marketing ploy became a tradition, so Norbright's fucking toffees were tied to the Everton team.

But in fact, the history of Everton goes back much further than Norbright’s fucking toffees.

In the absence of Norbright, the Everton team was originally nicknamed the "Scottish Highland Guards", and the fans also called themselves members of the Guards.

At that time, Everton still wore black jerseys.

After Everton established blue as the club's background color in 1901, the team was called the "Blues" by fans.

By 1928, Everton was known as a very scientific team because of its impactful playing style. Therefore, Everton was named the "Academy of Science", and Everton fans also called themselves the "Student Army".

The most awesome nickname was in 1995, when Everton fans called themselves "War Dogs" because of their fighting spirit in the English FA Cup final.

At that time, the name Toffee had a great influence in English football. Toffee tasted very soft and Everton fans felt it was insulting. They would rather call themselves War Dogs.

Later, fans of other clubs called Everton the Toffees, and Everton fans gradually accepted this slightly derisive nickname.

But there is one club whose fans don't call Everton the Toffees.

This club is the local rivals Liverpool.

Liverpool fans affectionately call Everton fans "big cousin".

Because the two teams are originally from the same family and have a natural blood relationship. First there are cousins, then there are cousins.

Of course, when Liverpool fans call me cousin, their tone is always full of ridicule and not a serious call. Especially when the two teams are playing, as long as Liverpool scores a goal, the Red Army fans will fill the field and shout "Thank you, cousin." "Cousin", who do you think can bear this?

But no matter what, Everton is definitely a strong team in the Premier League.

Especially since David Moyes coached Big Cousin in 02, Big Cousin has always been a strong team in the Premier League, and at worst it is in the middle of the Premier League.

And today's game will be a game that spans levels.

As a League One team, Southampton challenged the Premier League team Everton away.

Even before the bus arrived in Liverpool, the nervousness of the players on the bus was palpable.

Gu Ran sat silently next to Lallana, taking the opportunity to gather his thoughts——

During this period, Gu Ran also grew a lot through competition and training.

Including the talent points that little queen Taylor had saved before she left, Gu Ran now has 21 talent points in his hand.

Although I have played against Liverpool and Arsenal before, they were only friendly matches. To be honest, neither of them played seriously.

But today's knockout match is different. Whoever can win will advance to the quarterfinals!
Everton will definitely give their best in this game!

Therefore, Gu Ran decided to strengthen himself before the competition.

David Moyes is an old-school head coach who likes muscular players and uses his body to resist pressure, so Gu Ran focuses his allocation on conducive to physical confrontation.

The first is physical fitness.

The physical attribute has reached 90 points. Although I have been training my physical fitness and strengthening my physical fitness through competitions, my physical attribute has not grown for a long time.

After reaching 90 points, the speed of self-growth will become relatively slow.

A physical fitness level of 90 points is definitely more than enough to play in English League One. If you play against a Premier League team, it will be normal and there will be no problem.

But the problem is that if Gu Ran wants to use skills, he will consume extra physical energy.

Coupled with Everton's high confrontation, 90 points of physical fitness will definitely be stretched.

At this time, it seems very cost-effective to use talent points to improve.

Gu Ran directly allocated 5 talent points to the physical attributes, raising the physical attributes to 95 points.

This is also the upper limit of the current A-level rating that can be assigned. If you want to break through 95 points and reach 100 points, you must first raise the personal rating of the system to S level.

With 95 points of physical fitness, it will definitely be enough to play against Everton.

Next, Gu Ran allocated 4 points to the burst attribute and 5 points to the speed attribute.

Explosion and speed are the advantages of Gu Ran's breakthrough. They are also very useful in physical confrontations. They can prevent the opponent from getting close to them as much as possible. In addition, the higher the basic attribute is, the less physical energy is consumed when using related skills. .The burst attribute is increased from 86 points to 90 points, and the speed attribute is increased from 80 points to 85 points.

Then, Gu Ran allocated 3 points to the strength attribute, raising the strength attribute from 82 points to 85 points.

There were 4 talent points left, so Gu Ran allocated 2 points to the strength attribute, raising the strength attribute from 88 points to 90 points.

Gu Ran allocated the last two points to flexible attributes.

The flexibility attribute is the smoothness of the connection between the two skills. The higher the flexibility, the more capable you are of making extraordinary moves like Messi and Ronaldinho.

The flexibility attribute was immediately increased from 80 points to 82 points.

The talent points had been retained for almost a month, and they were all created in one wave.

Alas, it’s still nice to have some magic weapons...

After allocating the talent points, Gu Ran felt that his whole body felt much more relaxed.

In addition to the growth of basic attributes, Gu Ran's skills have also grown well through this period of competition and training.

Step turn increased from +5 to +6.

Rainbow Pick Pass increased from +5 to +6.

Enhanced emergency stop acceleration increased from +3 to +4.

Direct pass from the backcourt increased from +3 to +5.

Outside instep pass increased from +4 to +6.

Back-foot stop increased from +3 to +6.

Quick short pass increased from +4 to +6.

Gu Ran's growth rate is rapid!

Today's game is definitely worth playing!
At 11 o'clock at noon, Southampton's bus slowly drove into Goodison Park.

Goodison Park is the first stadium in the UK dedicated to football matches.

For a long time after the birth of early football games, football fields were shared with rugby fields and cricket fields.

But Goodison was the first professional stadium that was not shared and only played football.

Due to location constraints, Goodison Stadium is boxy and looks like an urn from a distance.

In fact, this stadium is indeed a cemetery stadium.

Under the turf of Goodison Park, the ashes of many die-hard fans are buried.

It's not that you can be buried under Goodison Park by being an Everton fan, you have to be a fan of the Saga - your grandfather's grandfather is a die-hard fan, and your grandfather's father must be a die-hard fan, and your grandfather is a die-hard fan. My father is a die-hard loyalist, and I am also a die-hard loyalist. Only in this way will I have the opportunity to be buried under the Goodison Park stadium after my death.

The stone monuments around Goodison Stadium are filled with densely packed names.

The names on the slate are die-hard fans who have made outstanding contributions to the team and club.

What is club football culture?
That's it.

Diehards must also be cultivated by the club. Diehards love the club, and the club has awarded them the highest honor they can pursue.

Burying the ashes under the home turf of the team you love is the highest honor for a die-hard fan.

Even if you die, you must accompany your beloved club with your soul.

The city of Liverpool also has its own cemetery - Anfield Cemetery. Rich people in Everton also have their own family cemeteries. They can be buried in the cemetery and family cemeteries, and can be buried with their wives, but Everton's die-hard fans for generations But he only wanted to turn into ashes after death and scatter them under the turf of Goodison Park.

Many, many die-hard Everton fans desperately wanted to get a place at the home court before they died, but many, many die-hard fans died with regrets - such an honor is very rare, and it is not just a game. If you don't fall, you are a die-hard loyalist, and you have to dedicate yourself to the club.

Therefore, Goodison Park is the real home ground of the devil.

The fans of the home team were all crazy and unhuman, and the players of the home team were doing their best at Goodison Park.

As for the visiting team players, just standing on the turf, they felt a chill under their feet.

After the expansion, the stadium has three levels of stands, a total of more than 4 seats, and a geothermal system.

In this way, from a metaphysical point of view, the loyal souls under the turf can start to stir.

After having a meal in the players' restaurant at noon, Southampton's players took a lunch break in the visiting team's locker room.

After the lunch break, Coach Adkins took the players to train and adapt at the very mysterious Goodison Park stadium.

After training for about two hours, the Southampton team will return to the locker room to rest and adjust while adding tactical details.

At 5:[-] p.m., fans began to enter the venue.

　It’s the last day of November, don’t waste the monthly passes you don’t need~
