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

Chapter 52 A Veritable Group of Death! Group E!
After the "little class", Carter arranged for the drummer to distribute brand new school team jerseys.

Gu Ran received five brand new "No. 3" jerseys.

One is the main one, one is the replacement, one is the spare, and two are the away kits that can be swapped out if they conflict with the home kit.

——In amateur games, it is generally not necessary to use the away jersey.

The home jersey is red and white with diagonal stripes. At first glance, it looks a bit similar to the Southampton club's jersey.

Of course, Southampton's jersey has vertical stripes, not diagonal stripes.

The school team's jersey is embroidered with the school badge of Southampton Private School - a stag with its head held high in the forest. The antlers of the stag are as magnificent as steel swords and halberds.

On the back of the jersey, Gu Ran's initials are printed: "GR".

G is equal to Gu, and R is equal to Ran.

Although he studied in the UK, Gu Ran never had a British name. Gu Ran was not called Jack, nor was he called Pony.

Foreigners can't read the pronunciation of Chinese names correctly, it's a problem with their tongue, not the Chinese name.

It's a pity that the current Gu Ran is just an unknown person. In order to avoid mispronouncing the pronunciation of the pinyin letters, he can only use abbreviated letters.

Looking at the abbreviation of his name, Gu Ran couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart:
Finally got my own jersey!

This is just the beginning...

One day, I want the name printed on the back to no longer be an abbreviation!
One day, I want to let the whole world know my name!
One day, I want foreigners to pronounce Chinese names clearly!
Gu Ran secretly clenched his fists, and then carefully put the jersey into his sports backpack.

"The ones who get the jerseys are the players who entered the 18-man roster," Coach Carter announced in a deep voice: "These 18 players don't have to go to class tomorrow morning. They will prepare their personal belongings at 8 o'clock in the morning and gather at the school gate. Bus, go to the airport. Our plane will take off at 9:10 for Manchester."

"Manchester?"

The main players below all looked worried:

"Fack! In the first group match, you won't encounter a pirate ship, will you?"

"It must be. The only one in the Manchester region among the top 32 is the pirate fleet of Manchester Liberal Arts School?"

"I was very impressed with the Corsair's foul play..."

"However, the female cheerleading team of the pirate ship is still very good..."

"Quiet! Be quiet!" Coach Carter frowned and shouted: "I think everyone has guessed that our opponent tomorrow is the Pirates Team of Manchester Grammar School. The time of the two group matches was sent to your e-mail. I request that after today's training, you all go home honestly. You are not allowed to go to bars, drink alcohol, or have sex with your girlfriend. , and you are not allowed to be in love with your boyfriend, even if you are in love with yourself! Everyone seriously read the game information! Take a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's game, do you understand?"

"Yes! Coach!" The team members quickly responded loudly.

"Very good, we are disbanded now, let me go home!" Coach Carter waved his hand.

The players were instantly relieved.

Gu Ran packed his belongings, went to the locker room to take a shower, and then left the training ground with his backpack.

After eating dinner outside, Gu Ran returned home.

After briefly greeting Andrew and Sally, Gu Ran returned to his room, opened his laptop, and checked his mailbox.

Sure enough, there was an extra letter in the mailbox from the official mailbox of the school team.

The content of the letter is just about the introduction of this group match schedule:

The official name of the Genius Cup National Competition is the "All England High School Amateur Football Championship".

The national competition is held once a year, and the winning team will receive a trophy for talented players issued by the Football Association, and has the opportunity to be recommended by the Football Association to professional clubs above the first level.

The national competition also adopts the model of seeded teams. The last eight do not need to participate in the qualifiers, and can directly enter the group stage.

The 32 teams of high school students across the country are divided into 8 groups, and the 8 seeded teams are also distributed among the 8 groups.

So this also means that although the top two in the group can advance to the knockout round of 16, there is actually only one spot-because the eight seeded teams are all super strong, the chance of overturning is not very high.

The Southampton private school Bucks Steel Horns team is not a seeded team, and the best result in history has only reached the national quarterfinals once.

This year, Southampton private schools were divided into Group E by lottery.

The other three high school teams that are also in Group E are:
The Pirates fleet at Manchester Grammar School.

The Wild Boars of Tonbridge Secondary School.

And, the seeded team - the Rugby School Golden Fleece team.

Seeing this, Gu Ran couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Rugby School...the birthplace of modern rugby!
Rugby School was also an important player in the formulation of modern football rules!
Rugby School was founded in 1567, and the British National High School Football Championship has a history of nearly 80 years, and Rugby School has won 29 championships!
In the last national competition, the Rugby School team only lost 3:4 to the Westminster School team in the final! ! !

The style evaluation of the Rugby School team in the email data is: they like to rely on physical strength and speed to attack opponents, and in terms of strength, speed, and technology, they already have the level of a League One team.

It's not a seed, it's the king's dimensionality reduction and bronze!
Let's take a look at the other two teams' profiles...

The Wild Boar Jazz Team of Tonbridge Secondary School has won 5 national championships and 11 runners-up.

The style of the Tonbridge High School Wild Boar Jazz team is: solid defense, good at wing breakthrough.

Tonbridge Secondary School is a typical aristocratic school and one of the top three aristocratic schools in the UK under the care of the British royal family.

The children who can enter Tonbridge Secondary School are all born with a golden spoon in their mouths. They don't need to worry about their future at all, so they also have a lot of time and energy for football.

In order to show the world that they do not only recruit nobles and discriminate against civilians, Tonbridge Secondary School has also admitted many civilian students over the past few decades-provided that these civilian students are the elites of a certain project.

The most exaggerated point of Tonbridge Middle School is that they have 28 football fields, 5 of which are of international competition standard.

The final team, the Manchester Grammar School Corsairs: 3-time national champion, 7-time runner-up.

Their style is: aggressive action, fierce fighting, superb technology, good at using the width of the court.

Although Manchester Grammar School is not as famous as Rugby School and Tonbridge Secondary School, Sir Bobby Charlton, the hero of Manchester United, once studied in this middle school.

Manchester liberal arts school also often invites Manchester United stars to train and communicate.

In this comparison, the Southampton school team is simply free!

What about the Southampton school team?

There is a troll coach with +6 trash talk skills!
The best result of the Southampton school team is just reaching the top eight in the country!

Originally, the Southampton school team had some hope this year, but the core left-back in the team was poached by Westminster College...

It's no wonder Coach Carter is so anxious to get angry.

Group E is simply the group of death, and Southampton Private School is the weakest team in this group.

Look at the schedule:

On May 5th, at 25 pm tomorrow, the Southampton Private School Bucks Steel Horns will go to an away game against the Pirates of Manchester Grammar School.

On May 5th, the Bucks and Steel Horns will continue their away game against Tonbridge High School's Wild Boar Jazz.

On June 6, the Bucks Steel Horns will host the last opponent in Group E and the strongest opponent in the group, Rugby School Golden Fleece.

The schedule is very tight, basically two games a week!
This is very physically demanding!

The Southampton school team was originally weak, and was arranged two away games and one home game.

In the previous life, he was kicked as a zero egg, which is actually quite reasonable.

The group stage adopts a point system, the winner gets 3 points, the tie gets 1 point, and the loser gets 0 points.

So in theory, the highest score is 9 points, and it is impossible to have two 9 points in the same group.

After all three round-robin matches are played, the top two teams in the group will advance to the knockout round of 16.

Gu Ran roughly calculated that if the Bucks Steel Horns wanted to fight their way through the big powers, they would need at least 4 points to have a theoretical chance of qualifying.

This requires at least one draw plus one win.

In other words, if you lose one game, there is still play in theory, and if you lose two games, there is no play at all.

No matter from which point of view, this is extremely difficult.

Not to mention winning alone, it is extremely difficult to tie with any team in the group.

Although Gu Ran's own strength has been greatly improved in the past two days, it is still not enough.

Especially in terms of physical fitness - with Gu Ran's current physical fitness, it is impossible to play a full game in such a fierce competition.

Still have to seize the time to prostitute physical training results.

Therefore, at this time, masturbating Sophie has become more and more necessary.

One talent point of a future star is equivalent to 1 hours of physical training...

I'm really not greedy for Sophie, I just want to lick her talent bubble...

12 midnight.

Gu Ran took out his mobile phone, thinking about how to get Sophie to come to his room.

After all, this morning because I couldn't control my young body, I forced Sophie, and I still don't know how to explain it to Sophie.

How about forgetting?

Gu Ran hesitantly put down the phone.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open.
