Every manager needs to be in control, to varying degrees.

Lu Ling likes to play against Nick, and every fight is a game of tactics and psychology. For quite some time, she was at a disadvantage, especially in her mental state.

He's a formidable opponent, he's a talented manager, and he's been her mentor. Maybe it's because of this last point that she has an unusually strong desire to win every time she fights him. She wouldn't be willing to admit it in her heart, but she did need the most direct affirmation, not his words.

Under the wall lamp, his face looked thin. Even though the lights were dim, she could see the stubble on the side of his face. The image of him shaving in the mirror flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she remembered that when they were together, once, she touched his face over and over again, telling him that it was unreal.

At the time, she didn't know what that unreality was, but now, she thought it was a panic that everything was happening without any foreshadowing or anticipation.

The feeling of being uncontrollable.

This panic also occurred when she was with Pat.

And what about after that? What will happen in the future, will it continue to be like this? Or will it be more like that game that ended in the afternoon – she can foresee something.

"What are you thinking?" his voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Ling looked into the man's eyes. His eyes were as deep as they had been seen at first sight.

She frowned slightly, they had been separated for almost two years. She is not stupid, in the past two years, he has more than once stated or implied that he has not completely let go of that past. However, he never told her directly that he still loved her. They also never talked about what happened that snowy Liverpool morning that January. Did he know it was a stupid misunderstanding?

Lu Ling shook his head, sipped his wine, and looked sideways to the window.

The snow seems to have stopped.

She looked down at her watch again, and it was already half past eleven.

"A lot of things. She looked up at him and answered his question.

"Like what?"

"For example......" she hesitated, not telling the truth, "like our second goal this afternoon." ”

****

After the rough technique of Gueye came on the field, he activated Lu Ling's second step plan.

This is something that has been interspersed in training sessions by QPR lately, and it's not a new tactic.

This tactic is the same "trap pressing" used in the second game against Manchester City last season. At that time, when the QPR was pressing the opponent as a whole, he deliberately left a stone to ignore it, and after he fell into the "trap", he quickly closed and created subsequent scoring opportunities. （r247）

And Gueye's foot skills can be said to be inferior to Stones.

He is the target of the "trap".

QPR reverted back to a back four on the pitch to allow Ian to return to a midfield position where he could direct his team-mates to execute this trap pressing position on the pitch.

Since QPR has not used this tactic in any match since the Manchester City game, it is unlikely that the Everton boss will have thought of it.

This delicate tactic, which requires extreme tacit understanding and cannot be used frequently, was used on the Catalans for the first time, and the second time, Lu Ling gave it to the "mentor".

Gaye falls into a trap. He also received a pass from someone close to him.

Gaye in the picture is confused. The smile on Nicholas' lips was a little bitter. At that moment, he had already recalled the arrangement, but he didn't have time to intervene.

And Kristen Lu, who has been sitting in the coach's seat for the camera, has also stood up at the moment when Gaye was cut off by Jacob. This tactic is a surprise attack, and repeated use is not effective. She knew very well that she could only bet on the surprise of this first move.

Jacob cut off Guyer's ball and gave it to Ian.

As long as Ian is on the pitch, the manager's thinking can be extended naturally. The brilliant Ian is the coach of the QPR field, a spiritual leader and a key player in attack and defence.

The red-haired Scot didn't rush to get the ball forward, but dangled as Van der Bergh grabbed it and dodged the tackle.

Everton's defence had just been unfolded, and as a result, Gueye was scrambling to recover after falling into the trap. Ian struck the ball straight with the arch of his foot and sent the ball to Batshuayi's sprint.

Rojas, again the Spanish boy of Colombian descent, rushed over, and only his speed could be on point in time.

At this time, there was no condition to carry out a close "death entanglement", and Rojas directly urged his body to crash into Batshuayi.

It was a reasonable shoulder-to-shoulder collision and no foul, but the strong Batshuayi was bounced off by Rojas, who was a lap younger than him, and fell on the turf. Rojas himself fell by inertia.

The ball rolls out from behind the two.

The man who followed was the player wearing the blue and white No. 3 jersey.

Yu Zixiang had been waiting for an opportunity before, and at this time he had rushed to the penalty area at the highest speed. Unguarded.

He flew up and kicked the ball hard at the goal, a powerful volley with the outside instep......

The ball went in, 2:2!

In the 63rd minute, QPR's surprise attack brought the score back to the same running line!

Yu Zixiang rushed to the sidelines, swept in front of the coach and high-fived, raising his arms all the way to the stands. The audience was also shouting "Zixiang" in non-standard Chinese pronunciation.

On the sidelines, the man dressed in black had never felt so frustrated. He's lost many times, but not like this.

This is total passive.

Nicholas looked at Nick Flores on TV, shouting at the pitch, encouraging the players, and begging them to keep pressing.

If he did it again, he wouldn't do that, he knew it. But he neither likes ifs ifs and knows there are no ifs.

The game got to that stage and both players were very tired. Moreover, the consumption of both sides in the previous offensive and defensive battles is huge.

Mistakes began to increase.

Everton's players were hit by conceding two goals in a row, their morale was frustrated and they were a little hesitant to act. The QPR players had just completed the process of pulling back two goals at the cost of a lot of running, and now they had just equalized, and they should have taken advantage of the victory, but there were also many mistakes due to excessive loss of energy.

The coaches on both sides were shouting incessantly from the sidelines.

The atmosphere in the stadium became extremely tense and the situation was stalemate.

The movement of the players on both sides also began to get bigger. Zixiang and Jacob received yellow cards in a row, and Everton's Ross Barkley also made a flying tackle that caused the two sides to push and argue with each other, and also received yellow cards.

After 70 minutes, Lu Ling began to ask Mensah and Ian to find Batshuayi with a long pass in an attempt to cause chaos.

Belgian Michy Batshuayi suffered a lot today against Everton's two centre-backs and will be hoping to get back on the pitch. He forcefully used his body to carry Jimenez away and take the ball.

Leon beckoned on the other side, and Batshuayi turned to give it away, just then a hand was on his shoulder, and then a leg sped towards the ball at his feet.

It's Rojas again. Batshuayi hated this kid to death, and he immediately protected it with his body and flicked the ball.

Rojas made his second shot in a row, this time clearing the ball and taking the ball, but he tackled it with the ball and his spikes stomped directly on Batshuayi's calf. The Belgian fell to the ground in agony.

Mason blows to stop the game.

It's this violent foul again!

The head coach of QPR angrily kicked the mineral water bottle away from the sideline.

As a result, after Mason gave Rojas a yellow card, he ran to Lu Ling and pointed to the stands.

She was sent to the stands.

At this moment in the tavern, Nick smiled reluctantly and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a time, but it was also very similar to you." The only thing I can say is that Antonio [Rojas] didn't give it to me. ”

Lu Ling didn't speak.

She remembered what it was like this season when Mensah and Glenn were injured, and now Mitsy Batshuayi is also injured. All three times were not due to fatigue, but to actual violent fouls.

She was very angry at the time, and was reluctant to listen to the instructions for the stands. Tim came over and said a few words to her.

She didn't actually listen to the assistant coach at all, and her mind was full of what it took to win the game.

Suddenly, she pulled Tim's arm away and rushed to the bench, to Phil, who was wearing a green training vest.

She grabbed Phil's arm and dragged Phil, who was 185 tall, up from his seat.

"Phil, you just warmed up, didn't you? Now, you play center, remember to make more space for the people behind you, and carry that boy named Rojas to death for me...... Also, try to pass the ball to Leon and Genk!"

After she finished saying this, she didn't look back, and went to the stands in a rage.

Phil froze in place.

The narrator also teased, "Phil Warren must not have any idea what kind of person Kristen Lu is!!"

The assistant coach said a few more words to Phil, and Phil finally reacted.

QPR's new No.7, Phil Warren, has made his Premier League debut!

He took off his training shirt, revealing his blue-and-white No. 7 jersey, and then stood on the sidelines.

This picture, perhaps, is worth remembering, and everything depends on the owner of the current QPR7.

Nicholas didn't pause, but asked the woman across from him in a low voice, "Why the hell did Patrick leave?"

The sound of the TV didn't overshadow the random-sounding question.

Lu Ling replied silently: "That is a decision that is good for everyone. ”

After she finished speaking, she heard him laugh, it was a mockery.

"So, is it also a good decision for everyone for him to date that actress now?"

Lu Ling stared at Nicholas's eyes fiercely, and then, she said calmly: "Yes, he has any right to do that, and I don't see who is bad for it." 166 Reading Network
