Louis van Gaal is an honest man, the English media thinks so, and of course, he thinks so himself. The Dutchman did not hesitate to praise himself at the press conference, and his words made headlines in the sports section of The Telegraph the next day:

Van Gaal: Amber is like a young Robben

Other headlines include:

QPR "ambushed" Manchester United, after which Anthony Martial completed the redemption

QPRAMBERshedUnited,beforeMartialSavedtheDay

- "Daily Mirror" [Here the Mirror reporter used the surname Amber to the word ambushed, which is a common pun in the British media]

Compared to Van Gaal's 1-0, the media is undoubtedly more interested in QPR's talented boy Patrick Amber. According to the usual style of the English media, if there is a young talent on homesoil, they will be full of enthusiasm.

After the game, there was a lot of coverage of Patrick, and highlights of the game on the official BBC website were clicked like crazy. Regarding his description of his appearance on the field, a reporter from the Manchester Evening News wrote,

"When I first saw this boy in the media gallery, I couldn't believe my eyes, I wanted to say that he was like Messi and Neymar, but I knew that the fans who didn't watch the game wouldn't believe me. I thought I was crazy, when did England have such a young player?, and then my colleague sitting next to me told me that he had the same reaction as me when he first saw Amber's performance at Loftus Road. ”

Major media outlets also dug into Patrick's past and learned that the boy had been briefly selected for England's Under-16 and Under-18 national youth teams but had been used as a substitute at left-back, and everyone seemed to be in disbelief that the boy had not been noticed until he was almost 19 years old. With the power of social media, they managed to get all the fans in the UK, and the world, to get to know the young QPR overnight.

Interestingly, the match also caused quite a stir in East Asia, with ubiquitous Manchester United fans spotting an East Asian-faced female coach sitting in the QPR dugout.

That's right, it's amazing.

Lu Ling turned on her computer after going to work on the second day of the competition day and found that her mailbox had exploded and she received many interview invitations, which made her a little embarrassed. In the end, she politely refused, hoping that Mr. Fernández would not find fault with her.

At the same time, Lu Ling also found that the major Chinese media put her on the headlines introducing the game, and the headlines were very sensational, such as "Chinese female assistant coach shines in the FA Cup" and the like, which made her cry and laugh.

After the loss, the best news is that the winter signings are progressing in a positive direction.

Eighteen-year-old Dutch defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah has been successfully loaned.

However, Nicholas is still in a bad mood, because Gomis has not yet been finalized.

Swansea were willing to let him go, but director of football Les Ferdinand told him that Gomis would rather sit on the bench in the Premier League than go on loan to a Championship side. And just today, Charlie Austin has departed, joining Premier League side Southampton for £4 million, and he will not have a suitable striker available for the next league game. Tomorrow, Sandro will also go to West Brom in the Premier League for a medical check-up.

Damn Rice, Nicholas thought to himself. He wondered if Gomis really didn't want to come.

Gomis was getting off the treadmill when the call rang, he was panting and defensive about unfamiliar numbers.

Nicholas gets straight to the point, he's spoken to his agent before, and things don't seem to be what Rice says it is.

After listening to Nicholas's words, Gomis hesitated. He'd heard about the manager before, but that's about it. It's hard for him to trust him completely, but the agent says it's a good choice.

"Listen to me, Buffy (Buffy Timbi is the name of Gomis), for a player to have a game to play is the most important thing. And your agent sued me that you turned down a sky-high invitation from the Middle East club, and I appreciate your choice. Trust me, I know your worth better than that Welshman. ”

Gomis was moved. The last sentence was the key to impressing him. Since former manager Gary Monk stepped down, acting manager Welshman Alan Curtis has not reused him. Of course, the young Spanish coach's personal phone call also showed his sincerity. Gomis did not hesitate and agreed.

Half an hour after this phone call, Lu Ling saw Rice enter the head coach's office in a menacing manner from his office.

"I told you, Nick, Gomis doesn't fit into the QPR! Do you know how to play as a striker? I tell you, I've scored 150 goals in the Premier League, and I can tell at a glance that this guy can't even play in the Championship!"

"I think it's up to me whether a player is right for my team or not. ”

"I'm the director of football, I have my job, you have yours. I tell you that the days of dictators/dictators in football are over. It's not like your manager wants to buy anyone. ”

"If you do your job, I won't need to make that call. The role of Gomis, you will soon know. I'm sorry that a striker who has scored 150 goals in the Premier League is still not visible. ”

Lu Ling heard this conversation next door, one was angry, the other was calm, and he felt a little funny.

"Damn, how dare you say that!"

"I've already said it. If you have nothing to do, you can leave, thank you. ”

Soon, Lu Ling heard a slamming door, and then Les strode past her office with a gloomy face. Last time, she didn't know who of these two people had a quarrel and won. But this time, she could assure her, that Mr. Ferdinand was not lightly angry.

There was a knock on the door.

Nicholas said please come in.

The assistant opened the door and poked his head out, gloating with a grim face, and said mockingly, "Mr. Flores, I never knew you were good at quarrelling. ”

Nicholas curled the corners of his mouth weirdly, "There are indeed a lot of things you don't know. But it doesn't matter, we have plenty of time. ”

Lu Ling looked at his expression, not knowing how serious he was. But his tone was so ambiguous that she didn't know how to react for a moment, and turned to go back to her office.

"By the way, Christine, Gomis is coming. ”

She looked back, "So what?"

"Your beloved Pat is going to have a prettier number of jù. ”

Lu Ling looked at him, not knowing what he meant. This sentence sounds obviously strange, but what he said is so serious.

Patrick moved out of the house the day after signing a new contract with QPR. Now he lives in an upscale apartment in Knightsbridge, with a monthly rent of £10,000 at the same rate as his weekly salary.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa facing the huge screen, playing FIFA2016 with the controller, and Zixiang was fighting with him.

Ian hugged his phone and suddenly said, "Holy**! Pat, your FA Cup game against Manchester United, your highlights have a million views on YouTube!"

Yu Zixiang hurriedly threw away the handle and snatched the mobile phone in Ian's hand, shouting to read the comments.

"Don't you have your own phone!" Ian muttered, handing it over.

Patrick was playing on Xing's head, and Zixiang threw the handle directly, which was really disappointing. He simply threw it away, and lay down on the couch in all directions.

After that game, headlines about him flew all over the place. It would be too hypocritical to say that he did not expect that he would become "famous" in advance. In just a few months, he has gone from a young player in the reserve squad who is unwanted in the QPR to an England rising star who has been signed by his agency, and Patrick himself has indeed been on a bit of a rollercoaster.

He glanced at the two fools, who didn't look interested.

"Oh, Patrick Amber, the new favorite of the English media!Big star, are you so proud?" Zixiang teased with some jealousy with his head down.

"He's pretending to be cool. Ian hurriedly answered.

Patrick slammed his foot on the coffee table, "It's a shame you two don't go to be paparazzi." ”

A lazy smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth. It's just a pity that he didn't count, didn't score, and didn't have an assist. And the feeling when you lose is still too bad.

On the night of the match against Manchester United, he was approached by a well-known agent. The name is Steve Baker. This person is very much to his taste, and he has not decided on an agent for a long time, and he directly signed his company that night. Steve Baker looked at him and promised, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "In two years, European giants, I will take you wherever you want to go." ”

At that time, Patrick frowned, he was not in a hurry to leave Lovtus Road.

Patrick's phone in the pocket of his jeans shook. He took it out and glanced at it, and the car he had ordered had already been delivered. He jumped up from the couch suddenly, and the two of them knew it was the car that had arrived as soon as they saw his virtue.

"I'm in the co-pilot!"

The two of them spoke almost in unison.

Patrick lowered his hair as he said, "Not today. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo was recommended to Ferguson by then Manchester United captain Roy Keane after a friendly match with Manchester United, and was finally signed for £12.24 million. Maybe there are people in the United dressing room right now who are pushing for Ryan Giggs or Louis van Gaal to send Trek Amber.

When Lu Ling thought of this, he was sitting in the boy's newly bought sports car, a little comfortable and a little worried. He'll turn 19 next month, and he's still a teenager.

Youngness and gold have always been a problem for young players.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was unnecessary to worry about it. Football has always been a hero. Anthony Martial had already given birth to his first baby at his age, last year. She felt her mind jump a little, and the next second, she thought about what it would be like if Pat were a father, probably like Jack Wilshere.

Patrick saw that the woman in the co-pilot had been snickering and tilted his head, "Christine, what are you thinking?"

Lu Ling glanced at him teasingly, "When you and Abby are there, do you have any protective measures?"

"Oh, damn it, why do you ask everything?"

The boy was a little shy. Lu Ling felt that his appearance was really cute.

"Sorry, don't get me wrong. I'm just wondering if it's possible for you to be a father at twenty like Martial and Wilshere?"

"No way. ”

"Why?"

"I want to live with my love. ”

"So you don't love Abby?"

Patrick was really helpless when he heard Christine's words, "Please, I've only been dating Abby for a few months. Now say that L-word can scare each other to death. He had no intention of talking about it again, and reached out to the woman, "My gift, Tina!"

Lu Ling knocked off the boy's hand, "You drive first, and I'll give it to you later." ”

****

Sending Christine home, Patrick looked at the co-pilot doll and didn't know what to say.

Minions are such a naïve thing, and it's a shame that she can think of it.

What's more, she actually said that she had spent fifteen pounds, five pounds more than the budget, and he should be happy.
