Ross Barkley and Harry Kane are chatting about manager Roy Hodgson not allowing players to see their families during the group stage. The wife group and the girlfriend group can only go to the stadium to watch them play, and they can't see each other after the game. It seems a bit cruel. Patrick glanced lazily at the two men, but he didn't bother. But he also felt that Hodgson was making a fuss, and who would go overboard at such a time?

And because I really wanted to see her. So, maybe he didn't like the decision that much either.

"Hey, Patrick, what do you think?" asked Harry Kane, turning his head.

Patrick pouted, "I don't like it either. ”

Ross-Barkley quickly replied, "Aren't you single?" I bet you say that because you want to see someone." He glanced at Harry Kane and didn't say Christine's name directly.

Harry Kane then remembered that Patrick didn't have a girlfriend. He looked at the pretty boy and wondered if maybe it wasn't nothing, but too much, but he thought about it and wouldn't say it. Unlike Rose, he wasn't that acquainted with Patrick, and he really didn't have much interest in the private lives of people he didn't know that well.

Knowing that Rose was referring to Tina, Patrick asked bluntly, "Rose, why do you think there's anything between me and her?"

Ross Barkley thought about it, but he didn't really know, mainly because he hadn't seen him contact any other woman since he met Patrick. He asked rhetorically, "Isn't it nothing?"

Patrick frowned and didn't answer.

Harry Kane didn't know who they were talking about, and he didn't want to ask, so he simply diverted the topic. So they started talking about their next opponent, Wales. When the English talk about the Welsh, there is much more to be ridiculed.

When Patrick returned to his room, it was past nine o'clock. He picked up his phone on the bed, called Tina, and cut to FaceTime.

Tina's love looks a little low.

"Flores is also going to Nice?" he asked.

"Yes, but he's just returned to London, and it seems like it's a matter of work. "Lu Ling sat by the window, and the night in Nice was beautiful. She opened the window, the sea breeze blew, and she was much more sober. All day, she was like she was drunk.

Tina on the screen didn't look at the camera, but looked out the window in a daze. Patrick was silent.

Lu Ling didn't hear the boy speak for a long time, looked at the camera again, and took the initiative to say something else, "Zixiang and Ian said that they would come to France in a few days." ”

"They sued me. Patrick nodded, "We'll have a day off after the group stage. ”

"Paris?"

"Sounds good. Patrick looked at the time, "I'm going to sleep, Tina." ”

"Okay. I'll be there the day after tomorrow. Oh, you know that. Good night then. Lu Ling said and closed the window and got up from the chair.

"Tina......

"What?"

"Nothing. Good night. ”

He wanted to sue her, he missed her and wanted to see her frantically.

England beat Wales 1-0 in England's match against Wales, with Patrick Amber only coming on as a substitute for six or seven minutes. In such a short period of time, it is really difficult to evaluate. But with England winning two of their group games, Hodgson revealed in his post-match press conference that the next game could start Patrick Amber, who has been in the spotlight lately.

Lu Ling met Zixiang and Ian after this group stage. Zixiang didn't bring his girlfriend, and Ian took Kate. Listening to their conversation, Zixiang seems to have ended his relationship with Jesse Leung.

They faceTime with Patrick for a few minutes in the tavern, but the signal was bad and he stopped. However, Lu Ling can fully feel the fiery atmosphere in the England national team. And Ross Barkley and Chris Smalling show their heads from time to time to play with Pat, which seems to make Zixiang and Ian a little jealous.

Ian Parker is a promising call-up to the Scottish national team, but Scotland has not played in the tournament. As for Yu Zixiang, it is said that the Chinese national team would like to call him up, but he himself may prefer the England national team. He can't be blamed for this, he is already a third-generation immigrant. Not to mention him, his parents are afraid that they don't have much sense of belonging to China. Although the England national team has not yet beckoned to this talented Asian boy, many English football legends have expressed their hope that he will choose England over China.

This may be a bit of a difficult choice in the future. Lu Ling thought. She herself was not born in England, but she set foot on the land from the age of four or five. As far as she was concerned, she did have two homelands, but the one in the Far East she had never been familiar with. If it weren't for Lu Yungui, she might have even less oriental breath.

They drank a lot of wine, and the England fans who kept passing by were singing happily. Lu Ling actually heard the song of Pat composed by QPR fans. Later, many fans recognized several of them and asked for a group photo.

The next day, Lu Ling was originally going to return to Nice to watch the match between Spain and Turkey, but Zixiang kept muttering in her ear, "Coach, you are here for a vacation, and you will not lose your job if you put down football for a day." ”

So she changed her itinerary and followed them to the beach. The Euros brought in a lot of tourists, a bit overcrowded, but also more festive.

Swimming, surfing, cocktails, beach soccer, and playing from noon to sunset, it's like going back to college days.

Later, when Lu Ling collapsed on the beach exhausted and looked at the sky, he smiled and thought that a day without football would not seem bad.

Oh no, beach soccer.

****

Patrick was wiping his hair and looking at his phone in front of his locker, and Ian posted a photo on Instagram of him playing at the beach today. It looks like they're having a great day.

Then, his hand froze in mid-air.

He saw Tina in a golden bikini.

The sun, the beach, the summer Tina, and the scarlet narcissus that bloomed beneath her belly. However, only half of the daffodils were exposed, and the other half was covered. His thumb repeatedly ran over the corner of the screen, and he thought too much.

When Ross Barkley came out of the shower, he saw Patrick stunned there, so he glanced over and glanced at it, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing, he whispered wow, and pushed Patrick's shoulder, "Soooooo**inghot!"

Patrick kept his head down and didn't move, in fact he had seen Tina in a bikini, a long time ago, when he was only fourteen years old, on the rocky beach of Brighton.

Saint-Etienne. Stadio Geofrois-Guishard.

In the final round of the group stage for England, against Slovakia, Patrick Amber made his debut.

When the boy led the caddie out of the players' tunnel, he glanced at the VIP area of the main stand, because there was Yu Zixiang, the idiot waving his hand exaggeratedly, and he saw them at a glance. He couldn't see Tina's face clearly, only that she was there. This made his already surging heart even more excited. He's going to make her crazy for him too.

The whistle blows.

Patrick is still on the right side. And next to him are two of Tottenham's young midfielders, Eric Dyer and Dilly Ali. With the situation of qualifying, Roy Hodgson has put out a set of more rotated lineups.

Slovakia were on the attacking side at the start of the game – they were looking to battle Wales for a good third place finish to reach the knockout rounds. England retreated deeper for the time being.

The chance came in the 12th minute.

England centre-back John Stones broke the ball off the line and took it out of the box before making its way to Patrick on the right.

Before Patrick could receive the ball, Slovakian midfielder Saab had already moved quickly, as if he wanted to kill the counter-attack opportunity in the opposition half with a foul.

But the boy didn't give him a chance to get close. He touched the ball lightly with his left foot, and the man disappeared from front of Sabo.

Lu Ling in the stands stood up suddenly, in fact, most of them were sitting in support of England, so almost everyone stood up after Patrick's pass.

Slovakia's left-back Salata was already standing in front of Patrick, but the young England number 23 swept past him lightly, and Salata tried to tug at his shirt, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Patrick easily passes the guò middle circle. Dilly Ali was asking him for the ball and he gave it away. After the two men quickly collided with the wall, Slovakia's last line of defence was also breached. The only thing standing in his way was the goalkeeper, and the safe way was to get past the goalkeeper, but the boy made another choice.

He took a horizontal step from outside the box and then struck a left-footed shot straight at goal.

It was a heavy shot, the best goal of this tournament so far!

Nineteen-year-old Patrick Amber raced to the main stand, where the VIP area was.

He kissed the crest on his jersey, which was his first goal for his national team. His teammates had already pounced, hugging him and slapping him.

ITV's live footage showed the boy's young face, he was so excited and so handsome.

Then, he made a somewhat strange gesture towards the main stand.

ITV's commentator, Clive Tildersley, was also a little puzzled, "Oh, I don't understand either, it seems to be James Bond, both hands are hands/guns?"

Yu Zixiang said to Ian next to him: "Pat is fucking pretending to be cool in front of fans all over the world!"

When Pat hit the door, Lu Ling's heart jumped to his throat. Was it really a good choice? But as soon as he made his move, she was already cheering.

That's the most comfortable position for him to eat the ball, that kind of goal, from childhood to adulthood, she doesn't know how much she has watched.

She frantically shouted his name, Pat, Pat.

Patrick finished that and walked back with his teammates patted on the shoulder.

He looked back again, Tina, did you see that?

In the second half, Patrick set up Walcoat to score a goal. Undoubtedly, he was the best in the game. It was his first start for the national team and he played the full game. A goal and an assist secured England's 3-0 win over Slovakia.

England made it to the knockout stage with a top finish in Group B.

In the post-match interview, an ITV reporter asked the pretty boy what that weird move meant, James Bond?

"It's a little secret. I don't really want to talk about it. ”
