Capítulo 27: Chapter 27 : The coach is not a vengeful person...
Carter turned around and prepared to go into the court to reprimand his players, but when he heard Gu Ran say "You are wrong", he immediately frowned and turned back, shouting at Gu Ran's face: "Chinese boy, what did you just say? No one has ever dared to talk to me like this on this court!"
Gu Ran looked Carter in the eye and said frankly, "Coach, I am indeed left-footed, but who says that left-footed people can't play as left backs? Let me tell you a little story—"
"In China, there is a famous football commentator. During the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he gave a passionate commentary that went viral on the Chinese Internet."
Gu Ran took a deep breath and imitated Huang Jianxiang's tone, shouting: "Penalty! Penalty! Penalty! Grosso has done a great job! Grosso has done a great job! Don't give the Australians any chance! The great Italian left-back! He has inherited Italy's glorious tradition! The souls of Facchetti, Cabrini, and Maldini are possessed at this moment!"
Carter: ...
Carter felt that the Chinese boy in front of him might have been driven crazy by his yelling.
Carter hesitated for a moment, then took out two pounds from his pocket and said, "The coach is not a vengeful person...you should hurry up and go to the hospital to check your brain..."
Gu Ran returned to his normal state and said calmly, "I was still young in 2006. When I heard this passionate commentary, I just thought it was funny and exaggerated. But later I realized that only those who really understand football can understand the height of his passionate commentary."
"Why not mention others, but Facchetti, Cabrini and Maldini?"
"Because, all three of these legends are weak-footed left-backs! So is Grosso!"
"The weak-footed left-back is the classic soul of the Italian team!"
"The inverted left back does have some defensive disadvantages. However, the inverted full back can make full use of the width of the field to pass the ball horizontally, or advance to the midfield to pass, organize and assist defense - this is also one of the favorite inverted offensive tactics of the current Barcelona coach Guardiola."
Gu Ran took a deep breath and raised his head and said, "Coach, I am indeed not your Orin, and I am indeed not a left-back. I am just me, a Chinese, Gu Ran! I may not be able to dribble along the sideline, but if you give me a chance, I will be better than your Orin! I can cut inside!"
Carter's pupils suddenly shrank!
He couldn't believe that a young international student from China, a football-poor country, could say such systematic words.
Moreover, what this Chinese boy said really hit the point!
The inverse-footed left back was indeed a tactical strategy that was once all the rage!
Carter pondered for a while, "Kid, you know what? I have been coaching at Southampton High School for so many years and have seen countless arrogant children, but you are the most arrogant one I have ever seen-"
Carter looked at Gu Ran with a gloomy face for five seconds.
Gu Ran's heart was pounding, but his face remained calm and composed.
Carter suddenly grinned, "I like your madness. I see myself when I was young in you."
Oh shit!
I was scared to death!
I thought the coach was going to start trash talking!
By the way, coach, you are too ignorant, aren't you?
Were you as handsome as me when you were young?
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm. "Thank you, coach. Does this mean I can join the school team?"
Carter still shook his head. "It's not that simple. Do you think I'm the kind of coach who can let you join the school team just based on your passionate words? No, you have only passed the first confrontational test.
If you want to officially join the school team, you still have two necessary tests - kicking accuracy and speed."
It's really not that simple…
But the more this is the case, the more it proves that it was the right thing for me to choose to join the school team.
Speed was his forte in his previous life.
As for accurate kicking, with Beckham's two star-level skills obtained for free, there is no need to worry about it.
Gu Ran raised his lips into a mature smile: "Okay coach, I accept your test."
"Very good." Carter yelled to the players in the training ground, "You guys, pause for a moment and draw concentric circles for the kicking test!"
"Yes, Coach!"
The players in the training ground immediately got busy.
Rusty, who was doing frog jumps, panted and said, "Coach, can I help too?"
Carter frowned and shouted, "What's your business? Keep leaping! You're such a disgrace!"
Rusty was about to cry, "...Yes!"
Gu Ran stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, leisurely watching his future teammates sticking their butts out and drawing circles on the grass.
The so-called "accurate kick" is to draw three concentric circles with radius of 0.5 meters, 1 meter, and 1.5 meters on the grass, and the tester needs to kick the ball at 10, 20, and 30 meters.
In Southampton High School's kicking accuracy test, a distance of 20 meters is used as the assessment method.
If you can kick the football into a concentric circle of 0.5 meters, it is considered excellent.
If you can kick the football within a concentric circle of 1 meter, it is considered average.
If you can kick the football into a concentric circle of 1.5 meters, you will pass.
If the ball is kicked outside the 1.5-meter circle, you will fail.
"Damn, that Chinese guy is so arrogant!"
The bad boys who were drawing circles gathered together and whispered to each other.
"Hey, listen to me,"
A tall and long-legged player with a fashionable scar-shaped buzz cut lowered his voice and said to the other four teammates:
"Rust is already useless, but we can't let this Chinese guy get ahead of himself! This is our territory! We have to teach him a lesson!"
"Minato, what bad idea do you have? Just give it up!" The other bad boys were already getting impatient.
Minato chuckled and said, "That Chinese guy wants to test his kicking accuracy, right? Let's make this concentric circle smaller, about 10 to 20 centimeters inward, and see how accurate his kick is!"
"Haha, Minato, if I were to name the most damaging person on the team, it would have to be you!"
Minato smiled proudly and said, "How much hardship did we endure to get into the school team? Not only did we have to clean the toilets in the locker room because of the old team members, but when the old team members were training, we could only serve as caddies picking up balls.
Why can this kid directly join the school team just by passing the test? Just for this, we have to deal with this kid!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you and do it!"
"Isn't this a bad idea? What if the coach finds out..." a sturdy male player with an extremely soft and pleasant voice said worriedly.
"Sissy, if you just shut the fuck up, the coach won't know!"
These bad boys winked at each other and shrunk the three concentric circles by twenty centimeters.
After drawing this concentric circle, Minato and his companions deliberately drew a white line 25 meters away.
This line exceeds the specified 20-meter test line by 5 meters.
"Coach, it's done!" Minato raised his hand and signaled to Carter.
Coach Carter frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Of course he could see what Minato and the others had done.
However, Carter didn't say anything - this was also a test for the Chinese boy.
Since the Chinese kid dares to make such passionate and crazy remarks, he has to prove it with his real ability.
What's more, if this Chinese kid can really join the team, it will be difficult for other players to accept it unless they produce results that can shock these bad boys.
Carter said expressionlessly: "Let's get started."
