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

After the bus returned to Southampton, the people of Southampton crowded the streets to welcome it.

The bus could hardly move amid the crazy crowd. Almost every Southamptonian wanted to share this winning moment with Gu Ran.

Seeing that the bus could no longer move, Gu Ran simply climbed onto the roof with his teammates, raised the EFL Cup trophy high and celebrated with everyone!

The already hot scene suddenly became even crazier!

Thousands of fans centered on the bus, singing and dancing with their arms stretched out towards Gu Ran. The scene seemed like a zombie siege at the end of the world!

This is the first EFL Cup championship in Southampton's history, and it was won as a League One team. Every Southampton fan is overjoyed.

Many female fans even lifted up their clothes and frantically showed off their excitement to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran was so embarrassed that he even blinked.

After more than two hours of carnival, the bus finally returned to the Staplewood training base.

At this time, the Staplewood training base has been decorated, and a huge banner has been hung at the door - Welcome the champion home!

The club's senior executives were all dressed up and were waiting in the cold wind early for the return of the champions.

As soon as Gu Ran got out of the car with the championship trophy, the club's senior executives came up to him excitedly, offering all kinds of greetings and compliments.

Gu Ran felt extremely happy.

And that’s not all.

At the celebration banquet in the evening, Southampton's senior management and important shareholders were all present, vying to toast Gu Ran.

Everyone knows that winning the League Cup this time is all thanks to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran's reputation in the Southampton club has reached its peak!

That night, Southampton Club booked the Orange Bar, and the whole team went to the bar to celebrate.

Even Coach Adkins is no exception.

Although Gu Ran doesn't like clubbing, he still comes...

The bar girl was so enthusiastic that she kept getting into Gu Ran's arms.

Fortunately, Gu Ran was a serious person and took control.

The whole team continued to party until four or five in the morning, and then gradually dispersed.

After Gu Ran returned to the Dune Villa, he had a good sleep.

When I woke up at noon the next day, my phone was almost full of calls.

All kinds of congratulatory messages came one after another, too many to count.

Gu Ran selected a few important ones to reply to, and also made an appointment with Evelin to go horse riding at Hayden Manor tonight.

After all, I have been busy competing recently and have not been able to ride a horse properly.

While Gu Ran was having lunch, Mendes' call came in.

"Hey! Champion! Did you have fun last night?"

Gu Ran rubbed his still hungover head and sighed: "I'm happy, but I didn't expect that celebrating would be more tiring than playing football!"

"Hahaha!" Mendes on the other end of the phone laughed happily: "You will adapt! You have to adapt sooner or later! I want to congratulate you on winning the EFL Cup championship trophy, and also congratulate you on winning the EFL Cup. By qualifying for the Europa League, your reputation has begun to spread across Europe and I have received many transfer inquiries from European clubs!”

Gu Ran said quickly: "Mendes, you know that I will not leave here until I bring Southampton to the Premier League."

Mendes smiled and said: "Of course, I know, I know! But you'd better hurry up, because everyone can't wait to see you playing in a wealthy club."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be more fun to play against a wealthy team in a weak team?"

Mendes was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "It's really cool, but I still advise you to go to a wealthy club as soon as possible. Only with the support of a wealthy and powerful team can you win the Champions League championship!"

"I understand." In the English League Cup finals, the shortcomings of the weak team were very obvious in front of the strong team.

If it weren't for Mikel in the early stage and Gu Ran's own explosion in the later stage, Southampton's attempt to reverse Tottenham would have been a fantasy.

It can be said that winning the EFL Cup was largely due to the fact that both Lao Lei and Tottenham underestimated their opponents.

If they want to securely enter the Europa League, Southampton's lineup must be strengthened.

And if you want to win the Champions League, you must have the support of wealthy teammates.

Of course, it is too early to consider the Champions League at this time.

Then, Gu Ran asked Mendes about the purchase of Southampton shares.

Mendes reported that he has now purchased 51% of the shares, and Gu Ran has de facto controlled Southampton. In other words, Gu Ran is now the hidden boss of Southampton Club.

——Now that he is the big boss, instructing the Southampton team to find some useful talents is not considered as a player dictating the team.

Mendes suggested that by selling the profitable stocks, you can earn back half of your capital, and Gu Ran's repayment pressure will be much less, and then buy again after Southampton's stock price falls.

This was a good idea, but Gu Ran did not accept Mendez's short-term operation thinking. Instead, he told Mendez not to worry about funding and just continue to make acquisitions.

Mendes could only agree with Gu Ran's proposition.

After eating at noon, Gu Ran simply performed some restorative training.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when Gu Ran was about to drive to Hayden Manor to ride Evelyn's horse, personal affairs assistant Rick sent the March schedule on his mobile phone.

This schedule should have been sent last night, but last night Rick drank too much, hugged a slender bar girl and complained all kinds of things, and then vomited wildly, so Gu Ran only saw it at this time. game schedule.

Gu Ran was secretly glad for Rick. Last night, Rick had a small underwear stuffed in his pocket. Gu Ran was originally worried that Rick wouldn't survive 24 hours...

The schedule in March is still a devil’s schedule, with a total of 3 games.

The first game will be at 3:2 pm on Wednesday, March 7. In the 45nd round of the English League One, Southampton will challenge Walsall away from home.

The second game will be at 3pm on Saturday, March 5th. In the 3rd round of the English League One, Southampton will challenge Bournemouth away from home.

The third game, at 3:8 pm on Tuesday, March 7, in the 30th round of the English League One, Southampton played against Tranmere Rovers at home.

The fourth game, at 3:13 pm on Sunday, March 3th, in the 30th round of the FA Cup, Southampton challenged the Premier League team Black Cats Sunderland away.

The fifth game, at 3:16 pm on Wednesday, March 7, in the 45th round of the English League One, Southampton faced Carlisle United at home.

The sixth game, at 3 pm on Saturday, March 19th, in the 3th round of the English League One, Southampton challenged Brighton away from home.

The seventh game, at 3:23 pm on Wednesday, March 7, in the 45th round of the English League One, Southampton faced Charlton at home.

The eighth game, at 3:30 pm on Saturday, March 7, in the 45th round of the English League One, Southampton faced Milton Keynes at home.

The competition in March is still full!

However, apart from the English League One, there is only one really important game, and that is the FA Cup sixth round match against Black Cats Sunderland.

The Black Cats Sunderland are also very fierce this season, especially with the British star "that man" in charge.

Gu Ran couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at the thought of being able to compete with that man.

Gu Ran stepped on the accelerator and drove to Haydn Manor.
