Kyle Walker is still weird.

On the first day of training for the national team, Patrick spoke to him alone in the dressing room about the ball. Kyle didn't look at him at that time, just nodded. Patrick didn't pay much attention to it, but the guy kept squinting at him for the past few days. Even on the training pitch was not very happy to pass the ball to him.

Zixiang and Ross Barkley both said to leave him alone, and he would be fine after a while.

Rose teased a little harder, saying, "Don't blame that guy, if you play me like that, I'm going to not be merciful when I defend you." ”

"As if you could guard against me. Patrick said this with an eyebrow raised.

Rose could only shrug his shoulders, he really had a hard time defending Patrick. Last season was not unheard of in the league, despite Everton's double defeat of the QPR last season.

On 1 September, England boarded a plane bound for Malta, an island nation in the Mediterranean.

In the evening, at the National Stadium in Takari, they will play the rest of Malaysia for a World Cup qualifier.

England have 13 points from six games so far, leading Slovakia to top the group, with Patrick Amber and Harry Kane both scoring six goals and are the joint-top scorers in the England squad.

And this game was also the first game for England's new boss Sam Allardyce. The team still has no rotation and is testing the lineup.

In the end, England comfortably beat Malta 7-0, with Patrick scoring twice and Kane netting a hat-trick to keep England in the lead.

On the bus after the game, the players were in a great mood. The next match is played three days later at Wembley Stadium in London against Slovakia, who finished second in the group. A win for that game would give England a place in next summer's World Cup in Russia two rounds ahead of schedule.

When it happened, no one thought about it.

Walker sat behind Patrick. He sat next to his Tottenham team-mate Harry Kane.

Patrick was texting Tina with headphones on, and he wouldn't have taken them off if he hadn't wanted to call Tina. And when he took off his headphones, he overheard Walker's conversation with Kane.

Walker's voice wasn't too loud, but it wasn't small, and it was clear that he didn't mind being heard.

"Oh come on, she hasn't heard of anyone dating anyone since she was dumped by Nick, isn't there that romance account in the tabloids and Twitter that Patrick often comes and goes in and out of her house at night? I bet they're both. ”

Patrick shook his headphones and stood up sharply, "Kyle, what the are you talking about?"

"I said Christine was on top of you......"

Before Walker could finish speaking, his collar was grabbed by Patrick's outstretched hand. Seeing that Patrick's other hand was already clenched into a fist and was about to wave it over, Ross Barkley, who was sitting next to Patrick, quickly grabbed him.

Walker startled, then widened his eyes and grabbed Patrick by the collar.

Everyone on the bus looked at the two men, and many of the teammates had no idea what was going on and were whispering questions to each other.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

England manager Sam Allardyce also looked back, he stood up, his face was pale, the flesh on his face was shaking, and his voice was rough:

"What the are you guys doing?!"

Rose pulled Lapatrick again, and Kane pulled Lawalker as well. But neither of them moved, just stared into each other's eyes.

"Kyle, you'd better keep your mouth shut if ......"

"Patrick!" Sam Allardyce's voice rang out again.

"Kyle! Patrick!" was Captain Rooney's voice.

Walker let go first, Patrick was still holding on, Rose just wanted to pull him, he let go, and pushed Walker again. Walker was about to reach out, but Kane grabbed him.

It's still tense for a second or two.

Kane turned around and shouted, "Just a damn misunderstanding." No big deal. ”

Walker sat down with his collar straightened, tilting his head to the window. Patrick turned his head and sat down again. He sat down and found that Big Sam was still looking at him, and he looked at Big Sam with no expression on his handsome face.

Sam Allardyce frowned and turned his head away. He cursed in a low voice. If the two continue to be at odds, he will have to give up one of them. And that person couldn't be Patrick Amber anyway. However, he didn't want to give up Kyle Walker.

Actually, Sam Allardyce heard Walker's words, and Patrick's behavior was not incomprehensible.

Perhaps, he will have to give Kristen Lue a call.

Hell, no manager likes to face "infighting" in the team. Especially since he's just fucking on his job. He couldn't have been in a better mood with a big win over Malta.

He looked back again, two rabbit cubs.

****

Ross Barkley thinks Patrick is in a terrible mood. Is it just because of Kyle Walker's words? Or is it because Kyle is telling the truth?

As one of Patrick's best buddies, he would have been too incompetent if he hadn't noticed that the pretty boy's mood and state had been surprisingly good in recent months. He chatted with Zixiang in private. Zixiang also felt that the guy's smile was too bright recently.

Pat is in love. This is the only explanation. He didn't even leave England in the summer.

However, when Ross and Zixiang talked about the girl he fell in love, they didn't continue. They know each other, but they don't feel it's appropriate to mention it.

Yu Zixiang went back to his hotel room and called Ian. They are in the same group, although Scotland's prospects of qualification are uncertain, and they are behind Slovakia. If England can win against Slovakia in three days' time, it will do Scotland a big favor.

After chatting about the game, Zixiang told Ian what happened on the bus.

The Scottish boy was silent for a moment, and then said, "That's not necessarily true. Even if, I don't think Kristen and Pat want to be known. ”

"You don't think it's too ......"

"What? Your tone sounds a little critical. ”

Yu Zixiang held the phone and sighed, "Because that's wrong." They shouldn't be together. ”

"I don't know. Ian paused on the phone and continued, "But they're our friends. ”

"You're right. I'll continue to pretend I don't know, I've been pretending for months anyway. ”

"Does anyone else know about this?"

"Ross Barkley. Yu Zixiang glanced at the guy leaning against the table, "The others are just guessing. Seriously, Kyle just said what most people think. Oh, you didn't see Pat on the bus today......"

"Kate has a call coming in, I'm going to have to hang up, Captain Gossip. Remember, they are your friends. That's all that matters. ”

Ian closed the line. Yu Zixiang shrugged at Rose opposite, "Did you hear that?"

Rose nodded, "Ian is right, Pat is our brat. In fact, I'm happy for him. You have no idea how frustrated Christine was when she was with our boss. Ross said seriously.

"I don't feel good about it. Yu Zixiang lay down on the bed, "What do you think these two people can do?"

"I'm back in my room. ”

"Go back now?"

"**, do you want me to sleep with you?"

"Get out of here with your ass!"

Lu Ling went back to the room and took a shower, which washed away a lot of fatigue. Then, while she was lying in bed checking her email, she received a message from Patrick. He told her he was in a good mood and on the bus back to the hotel, he asked her how her day was going. She said it was fine and just went back to the room. He didn't reply to the message or call. Lu Ling thought that maybe a group of boys had a quarrel after the big victory.

More than half an hour later, her phone vibrated again. It's Patrick's invitation.

After she connected, they chatted a few words. But Patrick didn't look like he was in a good mood in the message.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked him.

"It's fine. He shook his head, "That's it...... Can't wait to see you. ”

"I think you're a little weird...... Is there a problem with Kyle Walker?"

"Don't mention that bastard. His voice suddenly became louder.

Lu Ling was slightly stunned, sure enough, this was the problem. She didn't know what to do, and it wasn't realistic to get Pat to apologize. In essence, Pat didn't do anything wrong, but Kyle was understandably angry.

"I'm sorry baby, I shouldn't have talked to you like that. He said hurriedly.

Lu Ling shook his head, "It's okay." It's just that he's your national teammate, and you shouldn't have any ambiguities in any case. ”

He was silent.

There was a moment of silence.

"You look sexy when you're angry. She tried to make him feel better.

He looked at her and squeezed out a smile.

"I should have slept, Tina. Tomorrow morning's flight back to London, so are you?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, call me when you get home. Good night. ”

"Good night. ”

Patrick turned off the lights, and the room was dark and peaceful.

He lay on the bed, his eyes open for a moment.

Then, he picked up his phone again and opened the photo library. A lot of Tina. Cute, sexy, happy, and animated. He looked at it for a moment and threw away his phone. I closed my eyes.

It's been a long time.

“**.” He rolled over, praying that he would fall asleep quickly.

The next day, the weather was still fine in Nyon. If he wasn't in a hurry to get back to London, Lu Ling wouldn't mind spending a wonderful morning on the shores of Lake Geneva. After breakfast at the hotel, she got into a taxi.

When she arrived at the airport, it was not far from boarding time. By the time she passed the security check, it was already boarding time, and she hurried to the boarding gate.

As she passed by another gate, she swept into a familiar figure, and she thought she had misunderstood, and turned her head again, it was indeed Nick. He seems to be following a flight attendant**. He didn't see her, and despite the closeness, his attention was probably all on the flight attendant's chest or face.

Lu Ling turned around and continued to walk towards the boarding gate. Already audible to the roar, she got on the plane and didn't look back.

The girl in front of her had a lovely smile and said, "There are very few people flying to Manchester today. Maybe you're the only one in first class. ”

Nicholas retracted his gaze, looked back at the beautiful flight attendant, smiled and asked, "Excuse me, what did you just say?"

The young girl said it again, but the handsome man in front of her still looked absent-minded. She gradually put away her smile and told him to see him on the plane.

He nodded casually and looked out the window.

A plane began taxiing.

And we won't see each other again until December. 166 Reading Network
