174 Chapter 174

In the players' tunnel before the game, Lu Ling ran into Aitto Karanka. They said hello. She didn't mean to talk to him, and presumably neither did he. She spoke to the team doctor and turned to head to the locker room, where she bumped into Aitto again. This time, they said a few words.

"The price of players right now is ridiculously high. Former Mourinho assistant said.

"Yes, it's a crazy market. Lu Ling echoed. In fact, she didn't care much about that. A player may only be worth £20 million, but the asking price is £40 million. It's fucked up. But considering the competitive level, if this player is really what the team needs, or the best choice at this stage, then there should be no hesitation to take it without financial difficulties.

In the end, it's because she doesn't have financial concerns right now. And Aitto has. Well, it was not appropriate for her to talk to Ato about this topic.

"I'll see you later, Aitto. She said.

"Christine......" he called out her name.

She turned back.

"If we're familiar, I'll remind you that Nick has never been a good boyfriend choice. Aitto said with a smile. He had worked with Nick under Jose Mourinho, he had known him before, and he knew very well what he was.

Lu Ling was a little surprised that Aito would say this. Although this sentence is a bit of a joke, it is still out of place.

She wasn't angry, she just thought it was ridiculous.

Recently, many tabloids have begun to speculate that the reason for her breakup with Nick was because of Nick's cheating. This logic stems from Nick's frequent changes of female companions. There are also many fans who like her and support her or are not fans at all who are upset for her and leave messages under her social media accounts to comfort her.

It's funny.

"Actually, I'm not sure I'm necessarily a good girlfriend choice, so ......," she shrugged, "Anyway, thank you for your kindness." Then she walked into the locker room.

Tim came in from behind, and he overheard their conversation and quipped, "Everyone just knows that Nick is happy, and you don't have a lace report, so it's considered to be still in love." ”

"I don't care what people think. She was looking at Myburgh's starting list and didn't look up, "Isn't it a good thing to have no of my lace?"

"Definitely. Tim lowered his voice a little, "You're too complicated. ”

"Tim. Lu Ling suddenly raised his head and called him.

Tim still had a teasing smile on his face.

"I never felt it was a glorious thing, in fact, I was ashamed of it, and I was conflicted. But, with him, I'm very happy. I choose to be happy. Thank you for keeping it a secret for me. I'd appreciate it if you could try not to mention it like you didn't know. "She spoke extremely fast and in a low voice.

The players had gone out to warm up and there were only a few other members of the coaching staff in the dressing room. Far away, they won't hear.

"I promise you. Tim looked into her eyes and said sincerely.

"Thank you. Lu Ling smiled gratefully, "Now, can you go out and check on their warm-up?"

"I'm getting ready to go. The TA smiled and walked out of the locker room.

MOTD on the night of August 12th.

The first round of the 2017-18 Premier League season was played seven times on Saturday.

Highlights of the QPR match against Middlesbrough at New Queen's Park were played in the first game.

BBC commentator Steven Wilson's voice rang out: "Today in west London, we will witness the first Premier League game in the history of the new Queen's Park. The home side fielded the exact same starting line-up as they did against Manchester United in the Community Shield today......"

The game quickly cut to the opening 5th minute, with Patrick picking up the ball in front.

"Amber started here, he beat two at once, it's Amber we know very well, he looks dangerous, try a long-range shot! oh - absolutely unbelievable! The game has just started and Amber has already scored for the QPR!"

This is followed by a shot of Patrick running wildly towards the corner flag area and holding out his hand to make a LL gesture.

It was the first competitive goal scored at the new Queen's Park Stadium.

Patrick made it past two in the middle of the pitch, and despite Ayto Karanka's tight defensive system, his individual ability made it useless.

In the 35th minute, Patrick picked up the ball in front of the penalty area, and Yu Zixiang followed up with the shot.

Yu's shot made it difficult for Guzan to get his hands on the ball. Amber again, he followed the shot! the goal went in again!QPR's second goal in the first half, guess who scored?"

In the first half of the game, QPR already led 2-0 at home thanks to two goals from Patrick. Middlesbrough, who came from afar, could barely attack the home team's penalty area.

But at the start of the second half, Aitto Karanka chose to take the risk of going forward and throwing in the attacking numbers.

"Adama Traore got the ball, this time the QPR defence was a little hesitant, Nedham Onuoha was passed, Adama was about to pass the ball out, but Fernandes came over and tackled, oh, Adama fell to the ground!

Middlesbrough came to take the penalty by their Spanish striker Negredo.

"19-year-old young German goalkeeper Hans Bachmeier, a new signing on this season's QPR, has become Kristen Lu's first goalkeeper. Now, how does he deal with that penalty?"

Hans leaned down slightly. His eyes were always fixed on Negredo. Spread your arms out.

His arm span was unusual, and his burly body cast a huge haze in front of the goal.

Negredo also glanced at Hans, then lowered his head, ran and shot.

Hans flew to his right hand almost at the same time, and the ball slid over his fingertips and hit the post!

But the ball is bouncing back...... Negredo pounces quickly and shoots again!

"Oh my God, Bachmeier had gone down after making a save, but he got up like a spring, how did he do it? He held the ball firmly in his arms, Negredo collided directly with him, and the Spaniard seemed to be a little injured......"

On the sidelines, the young manager of QPR was shaking his fists while his teammates on the pitch were patting Hans on the back of the head.

The rest of the race continues to be dominated by the QPR.

In the 68th minute, Leon received a cross from John and crashed the ball directly in front of the goal.

"Oh - look at the goal!Qpr is 3:0 and looks like they've won the game!"

And at the end of the game, there was another wonderful scene.

"Hans Bachmeier played the ball straight out of the back. Oh, that's a pretty nice pass. Straight to the edge of the box, Leon Ferreira pushed back. Amber! Amber got straight to his feet!Oh my God! It was incredible, Patrick Amber's hat-trick was complete! He volleyed a left-footed volley from 30 yards out! Middlesbrough goalkeeper Guzan didn't move!"

The final score was fixed at 4:0.

In the camera, Kristen Lu, dressed in a formal suit, walks towards Aitto Karanka. The former smiled very, very brightly, and as for the latter, there was no expression on his face.

Patrick said in an interview: "It's been a fantastic start to the season. I enjoyed the game and felt good physically. New course? Yes, my third hat-trick. I was told I was going to score a lot of hat-tricks and I started to believe that. ”

Hans said: "I like the QPR and I feel like I made the right decision. Our performance was outstanding. Hopefully keep winning. After he finished speaking, he pointed to Patrick, who was holding the best memento of the whole game, and said, "Patrick's performance will be exciting for everyone to see it." I'm happy to be on a team with him. ”

There was a moment of surprise on Patrick's face. He thanked Hans and told reporters, "He reacted too quickly, didn't he?"

And in the interview with the manager, Christine Lu was in high spirits.

"It was a perfect game," she said. Patrick's performance was impeccable. Any manager would be happy with the result. Would I compliment him in the dressing room? Absolutely. It's just that I feel poor in vocabulary. ”

Patrick paused.

Lu Ling hurriedly went to get the remote control in his hand, "Why is it suspended? I need to quickly sweep it in the next few games." ”

"I don't need compliments in the dressing room, but ...... in the bedroom," he gave her the remote control, tilting his entire upper body towards her, face to face with her, and said ambiguously, "I like to listen to it." ”

Lu Ling turned his face sideways, pressed the fast-forward button to skip this analysis, and went directly to the second game.

Then she smiled and pushed him away, "Look at how you behave for a while." ”

"How's that now?" he picked up the remote and pressed the pause again, glancing at it to see that it was frozen in the handshake between Flores and Ranieri.

"I said I needed to do a quick scan of the other ones. ”

"It's been recorded. baby, see tomorrow?"

Lu Ling thought for a moment, "Okay." It's really late today. She straddled his lap and called his name in a zigzag way, "Patrick-Amber...... Your performance is starting to be scored...... Are you ready?"

Patrick grabbed her ass and pressed it down, curling the corners of his mouth slightly, "You tell me." He just wanted to kiss her, but when he saw the picture behind her, it was really disturbing, so he quickly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

****

Lu Ling woke up relatively early. The man next to him was still asleep. He was as good last night as he was in the game. She pursed her lips and laughed silently. She didn't want to wake him up, but she couldn't help but poke him in the face gently. He called out "Tina" and rolled over. Didn't wake up. Lu Ling was relieved, and then she stepped lightly on the bed and went downstairs again.

After she finished bathing, she put on her bathrobe and turned on the TV. She poured a cup of coffee and toasted two slices of toast. Then she sat down on the couch, first adjusted the show to the place she had seen last night, and then watched it while buttering.

She knows that the match between Everton and Leicester City also produced four goals, which is why Motd put this game in the second.

On screen, Nick's hair has grown a bit, and he wears a white shirt and gray suit pants. Ranieri shook hands with some seriousness, while the Italian smiled kindly.

Lu Ling smeared the butter, picked up the toast and took a bite, his eyes not taking off the screen. She was curious to know what Jose meant when he said Everton were still good. 166 Reading Network
