Josh talked to Lu Ling about it before she got on the bus. Although Josh didn't say it directly, Lu Ling knew what he meant.

The press officer's advice was right, and Lu Lingde admitted that he did show a lack of experience in this regard. Some jokes can't be made casually, after all, the media doesn't have a bottom line – they don't mind how sensational the headline is without completely misinterpreting what you mean.

Of course, she also has reason to be angry. The media is always afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Shortly after the bus started, she received a call from Nick. He said she had just arrived in London, and she laughed that they had just left London.

As she spoke, the car suddenly fell silent. She looked back, and immediately a player asked him to get up.

Lu Ling was too lazy to hide it, but after thinking about it, she still had to pay attention, after all, her boyfriend has a special identity. She lowered her voice and asked, "When will you be back in Liverpool?"

On the other end, Nick's voice sounded happy, "Are you in such a hurry to see me, babe?"

"That's just one of the reasons. On top of that, I have to get back to London tonight. She waited a few seconds, but Nick didn't say a word.

"Nick!" she tried to exclaim, trying to make sure he heard it.

"I'm here. His voice became flat, "You don't have to wait for me if you have something, it's just another week." I'm almost there, I'll call you later. ”

Before Lu Ling could speak, he had already closed the line. She hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't call again. She was a little lost, but she didn't want to bow her head. He didn't even ask why, and why did she bother to explain.

Feeling his shoulders being held up, Lu Ling lowered his head.

Patrick sat down beside her.

"Will you stay in Liverpool tonight?"

Lu Ling shook his head.

"Quarrelsome?"

"It has nothing to do with you. ”

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thinking about the game for a while. ”

"Concrete?"

'Liverpool are aggressive and I'm thinking about what could happen. ”

"Tina. ”

"What?"

"You won't be my child's godmother. ”

Lu Ling laughed, oh, Nick's words.

"What are you laughing at?"

"If you do have children, of course I'm the godmother. ”

Patrick stood up from his seat and looked down at his head coach, "Don't even think about it. His gaze was oppressive, and she quickly pinned her head out the window. He didn't stay any longer, and returned to his original seat.

Lu Ling turned her head, she was not stupid, and she had no intention of pretending to be stupid. It's just that nineteen-year-old Patrick doesn't understand that he may be in love with her now, but the world is unpredictable.

Before the game, Anfield flew the flag, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of red belonging to Liverpool. Scarves, flags, and slogans connect the stands on all sides into a sea of blood-red. It's a spectacular sight to behold, and this season Liverpool have expanded their home stadium to make Anfield's already impressive landscape even more formidable.

Liverpool are currently in seventh place, five points clear of fourth-placed Arsenal, and still maintain their hopes of a Champions League spot. And it's only the first half of the season, and all the places and points can change dramatically after that. Jurgen Klopp has purged and refreshed the Reds this year, and it's been a season that truly belongs to him.

They have been in excellent form at home this season, unbeaten in their first seven home games. Two weeks ago, the week Nicholas lost, Liverpool held Manchester City to a draw at home, leaving the top two teams without much of a gap.

Lu Ling thought to himself, Nick has to thank Klopp.

She had already met Jurgen Klopp in the players' tunnel and they had a few words and admired each other. The German's comments at the pre-match press conference gave her a lot of respect and she thanked her for that. But somehow the conversation turned to Everton. Nick had just drawn Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the last minute, and with a score of 2-2, it seemed to be a good game.

'This guy scored again at the last minute and I admire him and like to watch him play, even though they beat us. Klopp said with a sense of concern, despite having previously beaten the Reds in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

"Oh, I watched the last goal, it was beautiful, and I think Jose was wrong, Nick wasn't just lucky. Lu Ling sighed, it is not for nothing that Nick's team can always reverse after falling behind.

That's because the Spaniards are already on-the-spot masters. He dared to bet because he had chips and because he had a vicious eye for watching the game.

And the idealist Mr. Arsene Wenger, he is indeed a good manager, but Nicolas, as a protégé of Jose Mourinho, is probably the most such kind of coach.

"Christine, you're not shy about speaking for him at all. Klopp grinned.

Lu Ling held his head high, this guy is really tall, and he deserves to be the first altitude coach in the Premier League.

"I'm just telling the truth. She smiled too, and for a moment looked a little like a little girl, "And what do I have to taboo about?" ”

The whole world knew that Nick was her close friend, and she didn't talk about it, but never denied it. If it weren't for the slight unpleasantness of the day, she would have called him after his match.

Klopp smiled even brighter, what an interesting young girl.

****

In the camera, when the 193-year-old German hugged the acting coach of QPR, the height difference between the two looked a little funny.

"I never thought I was short, probably because I hadn't been hugged by such a tall man. Lu Ling thought in his heart. Her tallest boyfriend is also a few centimeters shorter than Klopp.

In the song of "You will never walk alone", the 15th round of the Premier League Liverpool home match against QPR began.

It's really not going to be an easy home to conquer. Lu Ling put his hands in his pants pockets and glanced at the stands opposite. But immediately her eyes returned to the court.

Liverpool are a very aggressive team, their athleticism is second only to Tottenham, and the players are just as young. Lu Ling's troubles this week are also here, QPR as a weak team, as a team with no depth in the midfield, a team like Liverpool will face repeated impacts. This is a very dangerous thing.

Moreover, Liverpool's frontcourt pressing system is more mature than Tottenham's, which is also Klopp's masterpiece.

Of course, what are the advantages of his own team, Lu Ling knows it.

The three strong points of Pat, Vargas and Yu Zixiang determine the team's advancement and offensive ability, and in this game, Liverpool's backfield will not be easy.

John and Mensah, two players who can also play their own defensively, will also play an important role.

Ian was still placed in the midfield position by her this time. It's also about strengthening the midfield's interception. Captain Nedham continued to get a starting role, partnering Mensah in central defence.

Lu Ling's discharge is still the team's most accustomed 4231 formation.

Jurgen Klopp also lined up in a 4231 formation.

The game was very tight and Liverpool had more chances than QPR. Under the huge momentum of Anfield, the Reds players shot frequently. Lu Ling saw that Klopp next to him was constantly dancing.

This is a passionate German and so are his teams, from Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool, and he brings all his passion to his players.

Compared to Nick, or rather, compared to me, he was more unscrupulous and unreserved. Lu Ling was a little distracted.

QPR has experienced a near miss.

Sturridge was deflected a powerful shot from outside the box that went just wide of the post.

Lu Ling frowned deeply, damn it, it's really not the right time for this guy to come back.

She yelled at the QPR players on the field, "Don't miss people, concentrate!" and she shouted to Yu Zixiang, who was standing next to her, "Remember what I told you, don't go forward blindly." If we have a chance to get the ball and go forward, we have to be fast, faster than them. ”

Yu Zixiang nodded and quickly went back to defend.

Anfield's singing never stopped. They sang songs insulting Everton, followed by new songs mocking Nick Flores. The song was sung on a loop for a long time. The name of the Spaniard echoed over Anfield. Liverpool fans, like West Brom fans before them, used this to tease Kristen Lu, who was standing on the sidelines. However, the young acting QPR coach seems to be unheard.

The first half lasted more than 40 minutes and there was no goal on either side.

Patrick has caused Liverpool quite a bit of trouble, and Emre Can, who is responsible for defending him, has been repeatedly beaten, and he is quite depressed when the camera shows his facial expression.

However, Klopp on the sidelines was loudly encouraging him, and there was no reprimanding at all.

Once again, Patrick got past Jen with the ball and Reds captain Jordan Henderson brought down QPR's No.7 on the edge of the box.

The referee pulled out a yellow card and gave a free-kick in a fairly good position.

Not to be outdone, the away fan zone sang the song of Patter at this time.

This ball was taken by Patrick.

Six or seven seconds later, the goal went in.

But it wasn't Patrick who went straight in, he wanted to shoot straight at goal, but the ball hit Nedham's head in the box. The captain of the QPR shook his head and Liverpool goalkeeper Karius was on the right track, but Nedham's header prevented him from making the right save.

At Anfield, QPR leads Liverpool 1-0.

Lu Ling felt that she might have been influenced by the hot atmosphere on the pitch, and she ran a few steps along the touchline after the goal, and the crazy Cheng dù was no less than Klopp, who had always liked to do this.

Nedham glanced at her as he walked this way in celebration.

That's pretty good. Lu Ling thought.

The first half ended quickly. At the start of the second half, the lights came on at Anfield.

Lu Ling sat on the coach's seat and squinted.

The two teams that best represent English clubs are red, one is called Manchester United and the other is called Liverpool. And their game is also England's traditional number one derby. The schedule has been tough for her, and she will host Jose Mourinho's Red Devils next week.

Oh, and the Sang-New Year's schedule after that, the Gunners.

It's not easy.

At half-time, there was a good atmosphere in the team. She heard the players talk about how confident they were going to win the game.

And if it does win this game, the QPR ranking may rise to the top half. Now the QPR is in 12th place after fourteen rounds.

No, now is not the time to ponder this. Lu Ling stood up from the coach's seat. There was a faint boo, but it wasn't loud.

After the start of the second half, Liverpool attacked more fiercely. Jurgen Klopp replaced midfielder James Milner and replaced striker Divock Origi to strengthen the attack.

This adjustment came so early, but it was in line with Klopp's character, Lu Ling was thinking......

Ian suddenly broke off the ball, and it was Liverpool left-back Moreno who took too much and conceded the ball hastily.

The Scottish boy first shook off the quick counter-attack of Henderson, and in front of his left, Patrick and Yu Zixiang were already activated.

Ian made a direct pass to the ground, and the ball was at Patrick's feet.

Patrick flicked it directly to Zixiang on his side, and then immediately stepped forward.

The Asian boy didn't stop stuffing the ball directly into Patrick, and then immediately stepped forward.

The two quickly ran out of a cross course.

Patrick stuffed the ball again, Zixiang who had already arrived in the penalty area, and after getting the ball, he still didn't stop the ball, and swept directly to the back point.

Vargas outflanks and shovels the goal!

Three minutes into the second half, QPR 2:0 Liverpool.

The Chilean ran and slipped to his knees, and was immediately crushed by his teammates.

The blue and white stands cheered in stark contrast to the silence of the Reds fans.

The goal came just eight seconds after Liverpool were cut off.

In just 8 seconds, the four core of the QPR completed this quick counterattack.

It's a textbook counter-attack! Their movement and combination are like scalpels that make it impossible for players who are constantly chasing back. Klopp kicked the turf on the sideline hard.

QPR may not be a strong team, but with the ability of these four people, it is estimated that Liverpool can also play the main force.

The German is a little envious, he is one of the managers who likes to play quick counter-attacks the most. He glanced at the QPR dugout, where there was jubilation, oh, it's not over yet, Christine.

For the next ten minutes, QPR and Liverpool attacked each other, but neither of them was too threatening.

At the 60th minute, the QPR players were visibly losing concentration.

Klopp's eyes lit up behind the lenses, maybe now.

He yelled at the strikers Origi and Sturridge, then gestured.

The two strikers then started to move closer together in the middle and then suddenly retreated at the same time. QPR's two central defenders, Mensah and Nedham, were attracted and subconsciously followed forward.

They were deceived, and this is the frontcourt routine designed by Klopp.

Jordan Henderson strode in at high speed, past Mensah and Nedham, central defender Sako's long-distance overhead ball has flown in, Henderson directly formed a single knife, and the undefended Liverpool captain shot hard!

Liverpool 1:2qpr!

This goal came not too late, there was still half an hour before the end of the game, and it was not certain who would die. Jurgen Klopp ran a few steps along the touchline like Lu Ling before him, and then slapped Henderson, who had scored the goal, and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Ling hugged her arms, her brain was running at high speed.

Is it time for her to make a change?

Anfield resounded the song.

"You'll never walk alone"

It's a song that makes your opponent fearful. You can feel how much the fans love this team, and you can feel how strong the team is behind it.

It's so romantic. Klopp thought.

In such songs, the Red Army hit the backfield of the QPR again and again.

Although, Patrick can always create a danger for his own backcourt.

Until the 87th minute, the score remained unchanged.

And whether it is a QPR fan or a Liverpool fan, the heart is in the throat.

Oh, damn why don't you score, no, you can't let QPR go in in the first place!

Oh, it's over, or maybe Pat has another kick!

On the sidelines, Lu Ling made the only substitution adjustment in the game.

Patrick was surprised to see that the fourth official's sign prominently displayed number 7.

He looked at Tina and pointed at himself.

Tina nodded.

Patrick was a little disappointed, but thanked the QPR fans who had come from afar, and clapped his hands with the substitute midfielder Jack Steele.

QPR fans also seem to be quite puzzled by the substitution of the acting manager, and when the camera swept to them, many people were puzzled or dissatisfied.

Tina patted him on the back, "Get some rest." ”

He didn't say anything and walked straight to the bench.

When Klopp saw Patrick go down, he ordered the whole team to press!

Without this absolute containment point, QPR is no longer so scary. And for Liverpool, there is no difference between 1:2 and 1:3.

An indiscriminate siege came. The QPR has withstood several waves of attacks and Liverpool is running out of time.

Liverpool again crossed from a 45-degree angle and if the ball could be cleared, the game would be over. In a few seconds, I'll be on the way to the three points from Anfield and make it six wins in a row. Lu Ling took a few steps forward and raised his neck.

Origi pushed the ball in.

Lu Ling still couldn't believe that this goal had really happened, she was completely stunned in place, until she heard the applause and cheers in the sky, and she trembled all over.

The wind is blowing.

The whistle sounded.

3 points became 1 point.

The German came over with a little smile, and Lu Ling only felt that his expression was extremely stiff.

She heard Jurgen Klopp say, "I believe you don't like the result, and I don't like it either." But ......"

Lu Ling looked up suspiciously.

Klopp blinked a little mischievously, "It's not just Nick who scores last-minute goals, I like to do that too." ”

Oh, what a good teasing, Lu Ling smiled bitterly, "I'm sure you're happier than I did." ”

She staggered past the Germans, and Pat came at him.

The boy's face was gloomy, and she shrugged at him slightly.

Then he put his hand on her shoulder, a little helpless, and more angry, and yelled at her: "Tina, what the are you thinking, why did you replace me at the last moment?"
