Chapter 261 The first professional contract of football career takes effect!It's finally time for the number selection!
Dr. Jensen frowned and said to the young female doctor who ran over with a urine tube, "Rebecca, don't get excited! You are just doing urinalysis, not watching!"
Dr. Rebecca hurriedly said: "Pal, I want to be responsible for my test samples! Be responsible from the source!"
Dr. Jensen said: "Why are you not responsible for the test samples of other players? I'm too embarrassed to say so! Go back quickly! Maeve, you accompany Gu Ran to the bathroom to collect urine samples."
Maeve smiled and said, "Okay, Pal."
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
If you are surrounded by female doctors... it's really hard to urinate.
A few minutes later, Gu Ran handed over a warm urine sample to Dr. Rebecca.
Doctor Rebecca raised an eyebrow at Gu Ran, receiving a urine sample was like receiving champagne.
Fuck... It's too dangerous to go abroad...
Gu Ran hurried back to Doctor Jensen's side.
Dr. Jensen said, "It will take a while for the urine test report to come out. Now let's move on to the fourth item, the blood test—Heidi, do it."
"Okay! Pal!"
Another curly-haired female doctor held the needle with excitement on her face, "Gu, I'm glad I can pierce you. Don't worry, I will do it gently."
"Okay." Gu Ran stretched out his arm calmly.
Blood tests include full blood cell technology, liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, blood lipids, platelets, anemia indicators and other items to comprehensively evaluate the internal health status of players.
Dr. Heidi asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Gu Ran said helplessly, "...it doesn't hurt, Dr. Heidi."
Dr. Heidi smiled softly: "You must tell me if it hurts, I will comfort you well."
The corner of Gu Ran's mouth twitched, "Doctor Heidi, you...don't just touch my arm, you're stabbing it!"
Even if you pierce it and ask me if it hurts!
Dr. Heidi chuckled and said, "Oh, I want to touch your blood vessels first."
Gu Ran: ...
Is it too late for me to transfer now?
The southern female doctor at the Southampton Club is so enthusiastic that it is unbearable!
After finally drawing the blood, Gu Ran hurried back to Dr. Jansen's side.
"The fifth item is the bone density test—"
As soon as Dr. Jensen finished speaking, a player rushed ahead of Gu Ran and lay down on the bone density detector.
Dr. Jensen immediately said: "Hey, Haldin, let Gu Ran do the bone density first."
The player named Haldin frowned immediately, "Why? I lay down first! Besides, who is Gu Ran? I don't know him!"
Dr. Jensen said coldly: "You don't know it, it just shows that you are ignorant! Gu Ran is the hopeful star of our Southampton! This is his medical examination before the contract takes effect. The club attaches great importance to it, and everything must be based on Gu Ran!"
Gu Ran didn't mind much, "It's okay Dr. Jensen, I can do other projects first."
But Dr. Jensen insisted: "In my medical examination center, I have the final say on everything. Haldin, unless you don't want your medical examination report, otherwise, give Gu Ran a place and don't waste our time!"
Haldin angrily walked off the bone density tester.
When passing by Gu Ran's side, Haldin deliberately bumped Gu Ran's shoulder with his shoulder, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn Fake Chinaman, you are so arrogant!"
This shoulder bump was heavy, but Gu Ran stood on the ground without moving a muscle.
For Gu Ran, whose physique, strength and other attributes have been improved, this level of collision is simply a tickle.
But this is obviously a provocation!
Gu Ran smiled coldly in his heart.
Originally, I wanted to give way to Haldin, but now there is no need.
Mai Fu who was next to him hurriedly asked with concern: "Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Ran smiled lightly, "It's okay."
Maeve breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine! It's fine! That guy's name is Dan Halding, an old man who has been playing professional games for more than ten years. He is 26 years old this year. He moved to Southampton the year before last. He often bullies the club's newcomers. He is the No. 3 main left-back in the first team and the only positive left-back in the first team. Of course, now that you are here, he is no longer the only one, so he will target you especially."
Oh, it turned out to be a competitor in the team.
No wonder.
Gu Ran smiled, "Oh, I see."
Today is the first day of joining the team. We must first focus on the physical examination and sign the contract. The provocative matter of Haldin can be put aside for the time being.
But it's definitely not over.
Gu Ran calmly stepped onto the bone density detector and began to conduct bone health tests.
Ten minutes later, the bone density test report was in the hands of Dr. Jensen.
"The bone density is very good, you are very strong! You are completely in line with the standards of athletes!"
Dr. Jensen signs his name on the bone density report.
The next sixth item is to detect joint stability.
Dr. Jensen used professional instruments to test the stability and mobility of Gu Ran's shoulder joints, knee joints, and ankle joints.
"Perfect! Gu, your joints and ligaments are perfect!"
Dr. Jensen signs his name on the joint stability report.
Immediately after the seventh item is an eye examination.
Vision is also extremely important for athletes, not only to check for myopia, but also to check the retina and fundus to ensure the visual ability in the game.
"Gu your vision is very good."
Dr. Jensen signed his name on the eye test report.
The next eighth item is the dental examination.
Although teeth are not directly related to football players, the quality of teeth and gums will also indirectly affect the status of players. If there is a problem, it is necessary to intervene as soon as possible.
"Gu, you have beautiful teeth!"
Dr. Jensen signs his name on the dental report.
The ninth item is a neurological assessment.
Maeve and Gregory helped Gu Ran connect a set of neurobiological electrode wires, and evaluated Gu Ran's neural response ability and coordination through bioelectrical stimulation.
"Excellent! This is the best neurological evaluation report I have ever seen!"
While admiring, Dr. Jensen signed his name on the assessment report.
The final test is the assessment of motor function.
Gu Ran made a few coherent movements as required, and the tester immediately evaluated Gu Ran's functional status in detail and accurately.
"It's perfect! Gu, your physical condition is very good!"
Dr. Jensen again signed the assessment report.
At this time, urine samples and blood test reports were also released.
The urine sample contained no prohibited ingredients at all, and all indexes were normal.
All blood indexes are also normal!
The renal function index is especially good!
Dr. Jensen signed his name on the urine sample report and the blood report, summed up all 10 test reports, and wrote a comment:
[Mr. Gu Ran's all items are perfectly up to standard, very suitable for training and competition. ]
[Pass the physical examination and sign the contract. ]
After finishing writing, Dr. Jensen once again signed his name.
After signing, Dr. Jensen handed over the summary report to Gu Ran with both hands, "Gu, I have to say, you are one of the few perfect athletes in the years I have been a team doctor at Southampton Club! The last time I saw such perfect data as you was when Alan Shearer was here and Wayne Bridge was still playing here! In short, Gu, you should have passed all the physical examination items, and you are welcome to join the Saints!"
All the doctors in the physical examination center stood up and applauded Gu Ran.
Gu Ran said gratefully: "Thank you everyone, after becoming a professional player, I will definitely work harder!"
Personal assistant Rick took Gu Ran's medical report, "Gu, let's go to the old Rice as soon as possible to get the contract settled! I just received a work message. The new head coach Nigel Adkins wants to have a private chat with you before the first team gathers."
"Ok."
Gu Ran quickly got dressed and said goodbye to Dr. Jensen and others.
When I took the elevator back to the old Rice office, the top executives had basically left, and only the old Rice, CEO Mark Frye, and sports director Mark Walker were present.
These three people are basically members of the "transfer committee" of the Southampton club.
Old Rice said excitedly: "Aha! Gu! You came at the right time! We just got the new contract ready--is your medical examination going well?"
Without waiting for Gu Ran's answer, Rick handed Gu Ran's physical examination report to Old Rice, "It's not only smooth, it's shocking! Even Dr. Jensen, who has always been harsh, praised Gu Ran as a new generation of Alan Shearer and a new generation of Wayne Bridge!"
Fuck...it's okay to be like Alan Shearer, let's forget about Wayne Bridge?
Gu Ran hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, I'm ready to sign the contract."
Old Rice said happily: "Great! Gu, this is our newly revised contract for you. Our upgrade project, termination fee clause, and your online copyright requirements have all been added. Please take a look."
Gu Ran took over the thick contract and quickly browsed through it.
Without an agent, these time-consuming and labor-intensive chores must be done by yourself.
After confirming that it was correct, Gu Ran immediately picked up a pen and solemnly signed his name on the new contract.
Old Rice said excitedly: "Gu! Congratulations on officially becoming a member of the Southampton family! I announce that your first professional contract has officially come into effect! Southampton Club is extremely honored to be the starting point of your career! I will now ask the financial department to transfer your signing fee to your account—"
Gu Ran waved his hand, "No need for Mr. Rice, the 10 pounds is just the public relations fee for the copyright of the big network."
Old Rice smiled and said, "That's fine, then I'll hurry up and settle the matter of Internet copyright for you."
Gu Ran said: "Okay, I still have to meet with Adkins head coach, then we'll talk later."
"it is good!"
CEO Mark Frye and athletic director Mark Walker also rose to their feet.
After walking out of Old Rice's office, Gu Ran felt an uncontrollable excitement all over his body.
Although I knew that I would become a professional player today, the moment the contract took effect, the feeling of this dream come true was really wonderful.
Under Rick's guidance, Gu Ran came to the office of head coach Adkins.
Rick wanted to announce loudly, Gu Ran quickly pulled Rick back, and knocked on the open office door, "Coach Adkins, I'm here."
Coach Adkins put down the documents in his hand, stood up from behind the desk, and shook hands with Gu Ran, "Hi Gu, I'm glad you joined the team."
Adkins' head coach's words were brief, but from the forceful handshake, Gu Ran could feel how smug the new head coach was.
Gu Ran immediately said, "Thank you, Coach Adkins. I know your time is tight, so let's skip the polite words and get straight to the point."
Coach Adkins nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, Gu. Please sit down."
"Okay." Gu Ran sat down.
After the two were seated, Coach Adkins said, "Two things. The first thing is your position."
After speaking, Coach Adkins looked directly at Gu Ran, waiting for Gu Ran to answer.
shit...
Isn't this way of speaking too short?
This is for me to say what position I want to play?
Gu Ran cleared his throat, "About my position...Of course I obey the head coach's arrangement. I can play as a left back, or occasionally play as a midfielder, a right back, or as a left winger and a right winger. It depends on the position you want me to appear in, the coach. I will appear in that position."
Coach Adkins said: "According to my observation, you are more suitable as a striker."
Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat, "Yes, I can play forward."
Coach Adkins said, "I want you to play forward."
shit...
Gu Ran was all excited!
Before Gu Ran could express his gratitude to Adkins for his kindness, Adkins spread his hands, "But, no."
...I am!
What type of head coach are you!
Can you stop panting so much when you speak!
Can you suffocate in a long sentence?Can you suffocate?
Gu Ran crazily complained about his new head coach in his heart.
Coach Adkins explained: "The Saints' front line is too crowded."
This is indeed the current objective situation of Southampton's first team.
The Saints striker already has Lallana, Gurley, Connolly, Barnard, Holmes, Chamberlain, Garrod...
As a team with 442 double forwards as the main formation, Southampton's striker is indeed overcrowded.
Coach Adkins continued: "My main goal in the first half of the season was to clean up a few useless forwards."
Gu Ran nodded slightly.
This also means that if you choose the "forward" position, you will not have the chance to play for at least half a season.
Although the minimum appearance rate is stated in the contract, that appearance rate is calculated based on the entire season.
Moreover, the head coach is the one who really decides to play.
If the head coach just wanted to fulfill the contract and only changed Gu Ran to play in the last minute of stoppage time, it would be regarded as having completed the minimum appearance rate.
Or, wait for Adkins to finish cleaning the striker, and then play as a substitute striker in the second half of the season.
Or, it is not to play as a striker, but to play in a position that is scarce in Southampton's first team.
Obviously, the position of left back is very popular in any professional team.
Southampton's first team currently has a positive left back, and that is the provocateur Dan Harding who just met in the medical examination center.
When Jaldin was injured, Southampton's first team could only use a non-left back as a temporary replacement.
Another hopeful star, Luke Shaw, can play left back, but Luke Shaw is only 16 years old and is still training and developing in the reserve team. He will not be able to play until he is 17 at least.
Therefore, this period is the period when the Southampton club is most in short supply of left backs.
This is one of the reasons why the Southampton club signed him so urgently.
As the head coach, Adkins naturally knew that Gu Ran could play as a striker. He could even conclude that if Gu Ran was placed as a striker, Gu Ran would definitely score goals.
However, the team is a whole, and Adkins himself is a newcomer, and many team building ideas need a little bit of advancement.
The conversation between Adkins and Gu Ran was only a few words, but Gu Ran could fully understand what Adkins meant.
… Still get to start with a scarce left-back.
Gu Ran immediately smiled and said, "Coach, I hope to get more chances to play and practice myself."
Get the chance to play first!Let's talk about other things!
This is the most pragmatic!
What's more, even if I put Lao Tzu in the position of left back, I can still score goals!
Adkins couldn't see the slightest emotional change on his face, "Okay, then your position in the team is the left back."
Adkins scribbled a few quick notes on the player's registration form, then continued: "Second thing: jersey number."
It's finally time to pick your jersey number!
Gu Ran was a little excited.
Coach Adkins handed the player registration information to Gu Ran, "Look, pick a number that no one uses."
"Ok."
Gu Ran took the player's registration information and looked at it seriously.
No. 9... Barnard, striker, England nationality, 26 years old, 179CM tall, 69KG in weight.
No. 10... Guli, striker, Brazilian nationality, 28 years old, 190CM tall, 79KG in weight.
—Forget about these two numbers.
No. 3...Harding, left back, nationality of England, 26 years old, height 184CM, weight 77KG.
This Haldin is about the same height as me, and weighs 4.3KG heavier than me...
For defenders, too much weight will affect speed, but it can increase confrontation.
No need to think about the number 3, Haldin will never let it go, besides, I don’t like it either.
No. 2...Richardson, right back, nationality of England, 28 years old, height 180CM, weight 76KG.
No. 4... Schneiderlin, midfielder, French nationality, 20 years old, 182CM tall, 78KG in weight.
No. 7... Lambert, central midfielder, nationality of England, 28 years old, height 179CM, weight 72KG.
No. 16...Wharton, a central defender, a native of England, 33 years old, 181CM tall and 71KG in weight.
No. 20... Lallana, striker, nationality of England, 22 years old, height 170CM, weight 69KG.
No. 22...Connolly, striker, Irish nationality, 33 years old, 173CM tall, 70KG in weight.
No. 23... Luke Shaw (reserve team), defender, nationality of England, 15 years old, height 183CM, weight 71KG.
Luke Shaw's treatment is good, he has already occupied the number of the first team before he is in the first team.
No. 26... Chamberlain, left winger, England nationality, 17 years old, 181CM tall, 71KG in weight.
After seeing the last line, Gu Ran finally saw his name:
Blank number, Gu Ran, left back, Chinese nationality, 17 years old, height 184, weight 72KG.
Basically, the popular numbers within 1-30 already have owners.
If you want to choose, you may have to choose after the 30th.
However... there is a number up to 10 that doesn't seem to have an owner.
Number 8!
……
Thanks to the rudder master of Happy Worship 964 for the reward.
Joy Worship is a friend I've known since I was a young author when I was writing the Genesis book, and now I'm very old-age.
It stands to reason that if there is a reward from the rudder owner, I should add another one, but recently I am working hard to improve my days, and I am getting older, I really can't make more days.
So let's owe this addition first, and add more in the future.
Thank you also for your recommendation tickets and monthly ticket rewards. Your support is the driving force for my writing.
(End of this chapter)
Dr. Jensen frowned and said to the young female doctor who ran over with a urine tube, "Rebecca, don't get excited! You are just doing urinalysis, not watching!"
Dr. Rebecca hurriedly said: "Pal, I want to be responsible for my test samples! Be responsible from the source!"
Dr. Jensen said: "Why are you not responsible for the test samples of other players? I'm too embarrassed to say so! Go back quickly! Maeve, you accompany Gu Ran to the bathroom to collect urine samples."
Maeve smiled and said, "Okay, Pal."
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
If you are surrounded by female doctors... it's really hard to urinate.
A few minutes later, Gu Ran handed over a warm urine sample to Dr. Rebecca.

Dr. Jensen said, "It will take a while for the urine test report to come out. Now let's move on to the fourth item, the blood test—Heidi, do it."
"Okay! Pal!"
Another curly-haired female doctor held the needle with excitement on her face, "Gu, I'm glad I can pierce you. Don't worry, I will do it gently."
"Okay." Gu Ran stretched out his arm calmly.
Blood tests include full blood cell technology, liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, blood lipids, platelets, anemia indicators and other items to comprehensively evaluate the internal health status of players.
Dr. Heidi asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Gu Ran said helplessly, "...it doesn't hurt, Dr. Heidi."
Dr. Heidi smiled softly: "You must tell me if it hurts, I will comfort you well."
The corner of Gu Ran's mouth twitched, "Doctor Heidi, you...don't just touch my arm, you're stabbing it!"
Even if you pierce it and ask me if it hurts!
Dr. Heidi chuckled and said, "Oh, I want to touch your blood vessels first."
Gu Ran: ...
Is it too late for me to transfer now?
The southern female doctor at the Southampton Club is so enthusiastic that it is unbearable!
After finally drawing the blood, Gu Ran hurried back to Dr. Jansen's side.

What's more, even if I put Lao Tzu in the position of left back, I can still score goals!
Adkins couldn't see the slightest emotional change on his face, "Okay, then your position in the team is the left back."
Adkins scribbled a few quick notes on the player's registration form, then continued: "Second thing: jersey number."
It's finally time to pick your jersey number!
Gu Ran was a little excited.
Coach Adkins handed the player registration information to Gu Ran, "Look, pick a number that no one uses."
"Ok."
Gu Ran took the player's registration information and looked at it seriously.
No. 9... Barnard, striker, England nationality, 26 years old, 179CM tall, 69KG in weight.
No. 10... Guli, striker, Brazilian nationality, 28 years old, 190CM tall, 79KG in weight.
—Forget about these two numbers.
No. 3...Harding, left back, nationality of England, 26 years old, height 184CM, weight 77KG.
This Haldin is about the same height as me, and weighs 4.3KG heavier than me...
For defenders, too much weight will affect speed, but it can increase confrontation.
No need to think about the number 3, Haldin will never let it go, besides, I don’t like it either.
No. 2...Richardson, right back, nationality of England, 28 years old, height 180CM, weight 76KG.
No. 4... Schneiderlin, midfielder, French nationality, 20 years old, 182CM tall, 78KG in weight.
No. 7... Lambert, central midfielder, nationality of England, 28 years old, height 179CM, weight 72KG.
No. 16...Wharton, a central defender, a native of England, 33 years old, 181CM tall and 71KG in weight.
No. 20... Lallana, striker, nationality of England, 22 years old, height 170CM, weight 69KG.
No. 22...Connolly, striker, Irish nationality, 33 years old, 173CM tall, 70KG in weight.
No. 23... Luke Shaw (reserve team), defender, nationality of England, 15 years old, height 183CM, weight 71KG.
Luke Shaw's treatment is good, he has already occupied the number of the first team before he is in the first team.
No. 26... Chamberlain, left winger, England nationality, 17 years old, 181CM tall, 71KG in weight.
After seeing the last line, Gu Ran finally saw his name:
Blank number, Gu Ran, left back, Chinese nationality, 17 years old, height 184, weight 72KG.
Basically, the popular numbers within 1-30 already have owners.
If you want to choose, you may have to choose after the 30th.
However... there is a number up to 10 that doesn't seem to have an owner.
Number 8!

Thanks to the rudder master of Happy Worship 964 for the reward.
Joy Worship is a friend I've known since I was a young author when I was writing the Genesis book, and now I'm very old-age.
It stands to reason that if there is a reward from the rudder owner, I should add another one, but recently I am working hard to improve my days, and I am getting older, I really can't make more days.
So let's owe this addition first, and add more in the future.
Thank you also for your recommendation tickets and monthly ticket rewards. Your support is the driving force for my writing.
