The news sent the two into a brief silence.

The Catalans left the Premier League before the start of the season, and just a few months later, Jose Mourinho is also leaving. It's as if the two arrived in the Premier League a few weeks ago.

Lu Ling asked Tim what he had talked to the Portuguese about after returning to the dressing room. In fact, compared to this question, Lu Ling is more interested in how his assistant coach feels about the first time he commands the Premier League. She could tell that Tim was in a good mood. Tim said Jose asked if he would one day leave Kristen Lue to coach a team.

"And how do you answer him?"

Tim's voice was still clear in the noisy locker room, "I didn't think about it before this game. In fact, you and I both know that I am not suitable to be a manager. However, if you don't try it all the time, you will always feel regretful. After all, I'm not one to be afraid of failure. ”

Yes, Tim has never been shy about admitting his character flaws, he's not a good decision-maker, but at least he already has one of the qualities of a good manager – he knows where his flaws are.

Hearing this answer, Lu Ling was not only a little surprised, but also a little depressed. She didn't want Tim to leave.

"Don't worry, I don't have any plans to leave you anytime soon, we're working well together and I love working with you. I also love this club. Tim pierced her mind.

She asked, "What is the concept of time in the near future?"

"Not for three or five years. Unless you leave first, I might still go with you to your next club, and you'll still take me, right?"

Of course. Lu Ling nodded, pondering the reason why Jose asked Tim this question after such a result in such a game.

Nick left Jose, she left Nick, and now the three of them are in a league, and the reality is that both she and Nick have caused trouble for Jose. Perhaps, Jose knew that Nick had been approached by United's hierarchy, and even Nate had his own sources, and the Portuguese could not have known anything about it.

"What else did Jose say?"

"He said it's a lot of fun to be a manager, and even though he's in a terrible situation right now, fuck it, who the fuck wouldn't go through this. ”

Lu Ling laughed when he heard this. In that moment, she thought of the 41-year-old Portuguese 14 years ago, when he led the team to the Champions League for the first time, and eight years ago, when the 47-year-old Jose won the Champions League for the second time, he stood at the Bernabeu Stadium and looked at the world. In those moments, what kind of psychology it would be like to be a manager, she hasn't experienced it yet. She tried to figure it out or imagine it, but it was in vain. She won't know until her day really comes.

However, the highlights and troughs are all life. Like Jose said, fuck it.

Interestingly, in the few small talks she had with Jose before entering the locker room, Jose's words reflected more dissatisfaction with the status quo.

It's also very Mourinho and logical. She would only find it strange if the United manager, who had poor results, had a good time talking and laughing with her.

Finally, Jose patted her on the shoulder and said to her, "Good luck, Christine, I mean, take out Nick one more time in the second half of the season." ”

****

"Did he really say that?"

Nick on the screen asked with a frown. Lu Ling nodded and continued proudly, "It seems that Jose likes me more than you. ”

"No, he's just...... Politely, imagine that he says, 'Good luck, Kristen, I mean, Nick is going to kill you in the second half of the season,' and there's a good chance you're going to punch him, isn't it?"

"Yes, in that case, tonight's breaking news includes not only the dismissal of the Manchester United manager, but also the loss of his mind and the beating of the former Manchester United manager after the win. ”

Nicholas laughed, he loved to talk to her, she was always funny. Moreover, it is not difficult to see that she is in a good mood today, and he always feels that there are other reasons besides winning. As he was thinking, she said, "Guess what José is doing right now, what kind of mood is he feeling?"

"Probably in Carrington to sort out his stuff, and his agent should be helping him talk about liquidated damages. As for the mood, I don't know. I haven't been fired. However, I know that the former Everton boss and former Manchester United boss David Moyes ran a lot of laps around Carrington after hearing that he had been sacked. ”

On the screen, her smile at this moment was tinged with a hint of sympathy, "I haven't been fired either, thank God." But after we broke up, I also walked around Harrington's training ground......"

Nicholas listened quietly, her expression indifferent, but before she finished speaking, she turned back to the subject, "Then who do you think will take over Manchester United?"

He didn't seem to hear her question, but smiled and said, "This is the first time you've mentioned our breakup." ”

Lu Ling lowered his eyes, "Really, actually, you didn't mention it." "When she broke up with Nick, she spent a lot of time running, which calmed her down and kept her focused.

And apart from Pat, she didn't do anything. She didn't know what that meant yet.

"I think there's news tonight. ”

"What?"

"Didn't you ask me who would take over Manchester United? But the Manchester United hierarchy must have already made the decision. José may not be surprised by this result. It doesn't matter if he knows that Ed has approached me or not, the important thing is that he must have known that his position is in jeopardy before he played QPR today. ”

"Then why didn't you say yes? After all, one of the biggest football clubs in the world invited you. ”

"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to talk about it?"

"It's a pointless question, of course it's true. ”

"Christine, if Manchester United invited you, would you go? ”

"Of course not, I can't leave the QPR right now, it's not a matter of money. ”

"So, it's very simple. Manchester United have offered me the highest salary ever paid by a manager in football – Everton have given me enough, Manchester United have offered me twice as much. However, this is definitely not a question of money. In fact, if you ask any manager in the world if he wants to coach Manchester United, basically no one will say no. But, at least not now. ”

"You don't want to put out fires? You're afraid of failure?"

"No, I've never been afraid of failure, I've always thought about what I want. I'm not leaving Everton now, just like you won't leave QPR. It's my third season at Everton and I won the Premier League last season – at the cost of your failures, of course – but I'm not satisfied. I want to get all the accolades in one season, it's easy. ”

In addition to the Premier League title this season, he also wants to win the Champions League. Lu Ling thought to himself. She wasn't surprised.

"And the probability of getting these at Manchester United, at least this season, is much lower than Everton's. ”

"Yes, I'm confident, but I'm also objective and rational. He smiled, "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on reaching the top of the Premier League." ”

"Oh, is this the reason why you invited me?" Lu Ling couldn't help laughing, "In a dozen hours, you will personally kick me down." I don't believe you're sincere. ”

"No, not because of that. ”

"So what are you looking for me to do?"

"I've got the job done, I've got the time...... I want to see your face. ”

Lu Ling was drinking water when he almost choked when he heard the last sentence.

"Why do you look so surprised?"

Lu Ling wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, "Shouldn't I?"

Nicholas shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe I misunderstood. ”

"What's the misunderstanding?"

'You're happy tonight, I mean, it doesn't just seem like it's because you won Manchester United today...... I thought you were glad I took the initiative to find you, and maybe you'd like to see my face too. ”

"Yes, you're handsome, you're sexy, and women all over the world want to see you. ”

"Isn't that true? I'm not the sexiest man in the world for women, but it's no longer available, and I think you can reconsider. He raised an eyebrow as he spoke, staring at the camera without blinking.

"It's not like what you said, are you really Nick?" Lu Ling asked with a smile while holding a water glass in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

Indeed, it seems too humble. Anyway, dear Christine, be honest with me, are you glad to see me?"

Lu Ling hesitated for half a second, ready to tell the truth.

At this time, she received a push message on her mobile phone:

[Manchester United legend Ryan Ryan Giggs becomes the acting manager of Manchester United.] 】

At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed across Nick's face, presumably he had also seen the news.

'As far as I know, Ryan Giggs has little experience as a manager, he has only four games in charge...... He was also acting manager at Manchester United. He has been a commentator on football shows since he left Manchester United. Lu Ling said.

"Oh, can I estimate Gary Neville by his coaching skills?" Nicholas joked.

Gary Neville's coaching at Valencia in La Liga has not been satisfactory as no end, as we all know.

But he convinced the United hierarchy...... I think, I mean, I don't know. Lu Ling thought about Manchester United's decision, and she really didn't know what kind of butterfly effect it would bring to Manchester United's team, and even this league.

"We'll know. What I want to know more now is the answer to my question. ”

Lu Ling looked at the phone camera, and he could catch a glimpse of the man's face on the screen. He seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were a little teasing.

"You know the answer, Nick. But what do you want? Tell me, what do you want?"

Do you want to get back together? Or is this just a *game* for you? I can still see you and your new love in The Sun next week?

His teasing gaze vanished, and instead he frowned slightly. He was hesitating.

Lu Ling smiled and shook his head, "Don't answer, I don't want to know the answer so much." Good night, though, I'm not going to wish you good luck tomorrow. 166 Reading Network
