17.Chapter 17
This incident was put on Twitter by other reporters present at the time. The editor-in-chief of The Sun responded to the incident, saying that he would immediately investigate and fire the journalist named Cooper if it was true.
Comments on Twitter were mixed. Some fans say Cooper is a fucking sexist who has written articles satirizing the Premier League's female linesmen before. Some fans don't care about this, and feel that if they are expelled, they will be a little more dismissive. There are also very few fans who believe that Kristen Lue is too sensitive as a woman, and now the reporter who killed her is going to lose her job.
Later, other media wanted to interview Lu Ling about this incident, but the assistant coach, the official representative of the QPR club, refused with full authority. However, the team's owner, Tony Fernandez, took the initiative to speak out on Twitter, saying that he unconditionally supported his assistant coach to defend his rights.
Lu Ling stood on the edge of the court and yawned. She hasn't slept enough since she became a teaching assistant.
Christmas is just around the corner, and Harrington is full of festive colors. Even the training is a bit lazy.
Just played Brighton two days ago and it was another draw. However, given Brighton's menacing season and currently sitting third in the table, this point is not bad.
Since taking office, Nicholas has been unbeaten in seven rounds, winning three and drawing four. In fact, it's a pretty good record, though not spectacular.
Lu Ling took the Wen JiΓ n clip and looked at the various counts, the wounded were in good condition, and the main force was basically there. However, based on past experience, the coming period will be very sensitive. From the Championship to the Premier League, injuries are prone to occur in December-February. On the one hand, because the season is more than halfway through, the body is prone to fatigue, and on the other hand, the schedule of these months is intensive, and the third round of the FA Cup will start next month.
Nicholas played a game of hoop grabbing with the players on the field, and he was just as physical as the players. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious and the QPR players were discovering that when the young manager was in a good mood, you could joke with him in any way.
Sometimes, his jokes are even more authentic than the British's own.
The language and cultural problems that foreign coaches encounter are not a problem at all. Although the man had a strong European accent, Spanish to be exact, he spoke the expressions of British English as if he were a native speaker.
Of course, he also had times when he was extremely strict and self-centered, but almost all the world's famous commanders were like this. Perhaps this is one of the charms of the Spaniards.
Sometimes Lu Ling would laugh at himself and think that Nicholas really had nothing to "criticize" except for finding a special teaching assistant for himself.
A few years ago, the 34-year-old Villas-Boas's huge difficulties at Chelsea had to do with age and seniority, but that is no problem here at QPR.
Lu Ling seemed to understand why the Spaniards would come to a Championship club.
However, it is strange that as a former well-known talent, Nicholas rarely shows his footwork. For example, at the moment, he will only make the simplest passes, avoiding the display of skill and direct confrontation.
Not to mention that he never shot at all.
Lu Ling looked for the video of this man's player era. Ten years ago, his footwork was quite exquisite, and judging by her superficiality, if she hadn't been injured, she might have been able to match the Cheng dΓΉ of contemporaries Andrea Pirlo or Xavi.
On the field, the players pushed Nicholas into the circle, and everyone was smiling, a little bit forcing the manager to show off his "real skills", or wanting to see jokes.
Charlie passed the ball to Ian, who in turn passed the ball to Sandro and Nicholas made a symbolic kick and didn't touch the ball.
"It's not even close, boss. Yu Zixiang shouted without fear of death.
Nicholas shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then, the moment Sandro passed the ball to Patrick, he cut it off.
His judgment and reaction speed on the line are in no way inferior to those of the active players. Lu Ling was shocked.
Nicholas kicked the ball aside and clapped his hands to declare the end of today's training session and see you at the club's Christmas dinner in the evening.
Lu Ling walked over and wanted to tell him about a discovery today.
"Do you think Ian's confrontation seems to be a little better, he used to grab a ball with Sandro, and he was arched by Sandro before he could get stuck in the position, but now the lower set is a little more stable, and it is not so easy for Sandro to arch him. β
"Well, it's been a lot of progress. I heard Carl say he worked hard. Nicholas said as he took off his training jacket, he was sweating a lot. On such a cold day, he only wore a short-sleeved tight-fitting training T-shirt. Lu Ling took a look, his chest muscles and back muscles were very developed, and his arms were equally powerful, which were combined to form a very beautiful upper body line.
She licked her lips and kindly reminded, "Aren't you cold?"
Nicholas glanced slyly at his assistant and pursed his thin lips and spat out two syllables, "Nope."
The young coach had already walked to the front, Lu Ling looked at his back, thinking, he had been retired for several years, and he still maintained such a low fat content, which was evident from his muscles. She sped a few steps and pushed up and asked, "Is it true that your knees are completely incapable of power?"
Nicholas's facial expression froze for a moment, and he turned his head, half joking and half serious, "It still hurts on a rainy day." β
"Are you serious?"
The Spaniard shrugged his shoulders and it's hard to tell what he meant.
Lu Ling didn't ask again, this person's broken leg incident was afraid that it would be a lifelong pain and directly ruined his entire career. If it weren't for his character, I wouldn't know what he would have become. It's like Lu Yungui.

As soon as the training session ended, the marketing department pulled the main players to the restaurant and said that they were going to shoot the Christmas MV. There was hardly any set, so I pulled a piece of cloth, brought a plastic Christmas tree over and said it was time to start.
Patrick changed into a Christmas sweater with no uncut signs. The main color of the sweater is blue, with small white dots like snowflakes on the sleeves and the bottom half of the sweater, and two small reindeer on the chest, and the club's crest in the middle of the reindeer.
It's the best-looking one he's picked out. Yu Zixiang and Ian both chose red, the kind with a little snowman on their chests, and Patrick didn't dare to compliment their taste.
Yu Zixiang said that the club will do anything to sell sweaters. Even though he said that, he was still very excited after putting on the red Christmas sweater, and he had a long time with Ian.
The music sounded, it was "Wonderful Christmas".

Patrick is a bit distracted, it's his favorite Christmas song. The staff stuffed him with a blue Santa hat, and he looked at it and put it on. Ian and Yu Zixiang jumped over, and the camera had already begun.
After they finished filming, they ran into the assistant coach walking out.
As soon as Lu Ling saw the virtue of the servants, he smiled and leaned back.
"Pat, don't you hate Christmas sweaters the most?" he didn't like to wear Christmas sweaters since he was a child, and he was always unhappy when Jack and Lucy were forced to wear them every Christmas.
Patrick was so ridiculed by her that he was about to take it off. Lu Ling hurriedly grabbed him, "Pat, don't take it off, I think it's cute." As for the two of you, ahem, it's like a couple. β
Yu Zixiang and Ian glanced at each other with disgust, and quickly took off their sweaters.
Lu Lingshun took it and looked at it, the Christmas sweaters that the club produces every year are about the same, a little silly, she compared the ones on Patter's body, and sure enough, Pat's eyes fit her taste.
Yu Zixiang observed the face of the teaching assistant, she was no different as usual, and the sexist incident did not seem to have affected her in the slightest. He took the sweater handed back by Lu Ling and said, "Hey, coach, I'm tweeting and Instagram to support you." β
Ian nodded, "Me too." And Pat. By the way, coach, when are you going to sign up for an Instagram account too?"
LU LING HARDLY USES SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT HIS FACEBOOK AND TWITTER ACCOUNTS DO, BUT UPDATES ARE EXTREMELY INFREQUENT. Compared to most of her peers, she is like an old man like Tom Jones, the reserve team coach. What Ian said, Pat said more than once or twice. She thought for a moment, "Then I'll go back and sign up for one." Thank you. See you in the evening. As for Cooper, she didn't want to talk about it, anyway, the results of the Sun's handling would come out in a few days.
Patrick saw her turn to walk out, and stopped her, "Christine, I can pick you up at your house if you want." There will be alcohol at night, you drive your own car, it is inconvenient to go to work tomorrow. β
"No problem. β
********
Lu Ling still lives in the small attic, and she plans to look for a house after the season is over. Rush's shop had a Christmas tree two weeks ago, and Christmas lights had already been hung outside. It was dark early, and Rush was seen turning on the Christmas lights from afar.
She parked the car, sat in the car and called Lu Yungui. Lu Yungui was very quiet, and the sound sounded like he had just woken up. She asked casually, and he seemed to be doing well lately. She hesitated for a moment and asked about gambling, and her father repeatedly said that she had never gambled again, so she believed it.
She got out of the car, it was very cold, like it was going to snow. She wanted to say hello to Rush and go upstairs, but Rush said she had her things and told her to wait. She took a newspaper and waited to read it.
Cooper's article can still be seen in The Sun. He wrote another article about QPR, but it was based on tactics and results, and he didn't know how this man was so interested in a Championship team.
Rush walked out of the cash register and handed her a small box. Lu Ling glanced at it, it was sent from the United States. She took it, said thank you, and headed up the attic.
The lights in the attic were finally changed last week, and the lights weren't very good, so she turned them on as she went upstairs. It was a Christmas gift from her mother Liu Lili, after she went to the United States, she never contacted Lu Yungui, but every year her daughter sent something on her birthday and important holidays.
This time it was a watch, and a greeting card asking her if she had time to go to the United States for Christmas and New Year.
Lu Ling entered the room and stuffed things into the drawer under the desk.
Then she rummaged through the closet for a long time and finally picked out the clothes.
At around seven o'clock, Patrick called and said downstairs, and Lu Ling was ready. She jumped to put on her high heels and picked up her small leather bag. When I was about to go out, I came back and looked in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror smiled, "Am I a mirror image of you?" I'm not as narcissistic as you are, Mr. Flores.
