León Ferreira is a very smart guy. Patrick had known this for a long time. The Uruguayan may never be able to explain Tina's theories and logic on the board, but when he's on the pitch, he just knows what to do. Leon's ability to create space for himself and for his teammates is strong, and he has some South American "cunning" that has helped him score countless goals.

Patrick felt that Benjamin also knew that Leon was smart. Although Leon's cleverness is completely different from Benjamin's. Since the beginning of this season, the two have been linked up a lot on the field, with Benjamin assisting Leon many times. They still shake hands and hug in front of the camera, but their team-mates in the locker room are well aware that the two have a bad relationship in private.

From that point of view, maybe no one was surprised by their fight. It's just that Mr. Hamilton's angry appearance shocked everyone as he did when the assistant coach lost his temper, and even though Patrick was not in the car at the time, it was not difficult to guess from the ridicule of his teammates. Patrick thought, how ironic, he had talked to Ben about Tim Luis's sudden outburst last October. Or did Ben always know that he had this trait?

Leon also has two advantages, one is the ability to learn a language, and the other is the ability to understand.

Over the past 30 years in the Premier League, there have been many South American players from various clubs, but not all South American players have adapted to the soil of English football. One of the reasons for this is the language problem. Language is never just about learning to speak English, it's about adapting to the cultural environment.

Leon came to London at the age of eighteen, and now four years later, his English is half Spanish and half London, but his sentences and diction are very British. Unlike Gonzalo's, Gonzalo was still in the imitation stage, and Leon had already learned to make English jokes. Leon even jokingly complained in front of Patrick that if he stayed in England any longer, he was really going to be an Englishman. I don't know whether it's disdain or smugness between words.

As soon as Leon arrived on the team, he learned an extremely English word: anker (self/masturbator). No way, the word pops out of the mouths of England fans with high frequency. Not only that, but he also learned about the action associated with the word for a long time: making a male masturbation gesture towards his body. When various derbies are staged in England, it is often used by rival fans to provoke and insult each other.

Leon probably didn't expect that the first time he made this move, it turned out to be to his teammates. So, before he told Patrick the truth about his fight with Benjamin, he apologized and then repeatedly emphasized to Patrick:

First, he didn't mean to insult his boss in the slightest, purely to laugh at Benjamin. As Patrick's buddy, he naturally thinks Benjamin Hamilton is a bastard and pathetic. Second, you should never tell your boss about it.

Patrick didn't promise anything, only told the Uruguayans to hurry up. Leon described the situation clearly, and even complained a few words about Phil not helping him. Patrick grimaced and slapped Leon on the back of the head. "Don't blame Ben for beating you. You deserve it. ”

Leon was aggrieved: "I'm for you, man. ”

"Bull**!!!! ”

Leon's face was not completely swollen, he touched the back of his head, and actually laughed: "Yes, now everyone knows that Mr. Hamilton also has a time when he can't maintain a good upbringing. He thought for a moment, and then said, "He is so angry, most likely because I guessed it." Are you sure you don't want to punch him personal......ly?

Before Leon could finish his sentence, Patrick punched him over, and Leon wailed and clutched his arms to congratulate himself on the strength of his triceps.

"Stay away from Ben. Patrick said, his voice agitated, "It's not something that can be solved by beating up whom." ”

"The boss asked me to clean the locker room with him, how the hell did he stay away? The boss is also naïve, does she think that if we are punished together, we can become good buddies by mopping the floor together?"

Patrick pondered for a long time, and said to Leon seriously, "It's time for your farce with Ben to end, don't mess with him again." The fixtures are tight and no one wants problems in the dressing room. You know the remaining three events we all have a chance to win the championship. Isn't that why you're staying at this club?"

Leon was silent for a moment, then laughed. "He doesn't mess with me. …… Someone was making Mr. Hamilton miserable anyway. The Uruguayans said that they would throw Patrick a narrow gaze.

At that time, Patrick's expression was complicated.

Now, in the dark, Patrick's expression was just as complicated.

Lu Ling heard the man sigh. She buried her neck in his neck, her lips touching his skin, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

Patrick's fingers ran over her hair. Her hair is fine and soft. Jet-black hair is really not thick. She likes to tease that she will be bald in the future. But he felt that she was not worried at all that he was really bald. His Tina probably thinks the bald Christine Lu is also beautiful. Many times before, he felt that no matter how hard he tried, her hair would still slip through his fingertips. But now, she's literally in his arms, every night. He still felt that he couldn't grasp the intricate threads, but it would definitely backfire if he used too much force. He learned to enjoy the softness of his fingertips, and he knew the touch was real.

"Miss you, think about things when you don't like me. Patrick whispered.

"Why?"

Patrick kissed her on the forehead and muttered, "Ben is too much like me then, desperate to get your attention and your love." ”

Lu Ling didn't speak for a long time. Later, she let out a little laugh. "It's not the same. ”

"Why?"

"You've been a headstrong boy since you were a kid, and if you really want something, you'll do everything you can to get it. But ......" Lu Ling paused, and the red elk Christmas sweater flashed in his mind. "He is always in a contradiction. ”

Patrick was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Yes, you're mine. I know you're your own, too. This is not a contradiction. ”

"I'm yours, I'm mine. Lu Ling hugged the man's back and whispered, "You are mine too." ”

Patrick's body froze for half a second, and then he hugged her tightly. “ and forever”

She snorted in his arms. Slowly, gasping for breath.

There's not a lot of training on Saturday because there's a game tomorrow. The atmosphere of the training session was not bad, and it was not affected by the somewhat ridiculous fight between the two main players in the team.

But Benjamin was uncomfortable. Benjamin found himself wherever he went, Phil followed, even the bathroom.

Phil's mouth tilted in one direction from his crooked nose, his eyes wandering. "Ahem, you pee you, watch what I do. ”

Benjamin stared at Phil for a while, and said indifferently: "fuck off"

Phil laughed, not only did he not roll farther, but he came closer. "Have you started talking like that? It seems that Leon has brought out another soul hidden in you. Don't forget, you're going to be cleaning the locker room with Leon today. Therefore, I advise you to concentrate, don't pee on the ground, and you will have to drag yourself when you turn back. ”

Benjamin didn't bother to take care of Phil, washed his hands, and walked outside.

"OI, why don't you pee?" Phil shouted behind Benjamin, muttering again, "You don't pee, I pee! I might pee on purpose......"

By the time Phil came out of the bathroom, Benjamin was nowhere to be seen. This scared Phil. There weren't a few people left in the locker room, and he questioned everyone. Although everyone laughed at when he became Mr. Hamilton's assistant, Phil got the answer from Thorin.

Benjamin Hamilton seems to have gone to the boss!

Phil ran and ran all the way. I finally caught up in the hallway of the manager's office. He panted and grabbed Benjamin, forcing himself to lower his voice, "What are you doing with the boss?"

Benjamin shook off Phil's hand and continued walking.

Phil grabbed Benjamin again. "You have to stop. I can tell you, if you kiss the boss, don't say that Pat will fight with you, I'll have to beat you up!!"

Benjamin was stunned, did he kiss her? Did Pat kiss her at that time? Did she refuse? Probably not. Otherwise, Nick Flores wouldn't have beaten Patter.

Benjamin looked at Phil and mocked, "Oh you've joined the 'I'm in love with my manager' club? Yes, Hans quit, you become a new member, and the number hasn't changed." ”

Phil blushed. "Fuck you!" he looked at Benjamin, pouted, and continued, "Ian and Jake made me look at you, and you think I'm willing to waste time with Tiana behind your ass?"

Benjamin looked down and seemed to smile. "Thanks, Phil. He looked up, still smiling. "I'm fine. I just talked to her about cleaning the locker room. I won't kiss her, and I'll never force her to do anything she doesn't want to do. You can now go back to spend time with your baby girl. ”

Phil looked at Benjamin suspiciously, should he believe this guy's words, but Benjamin didn't wait for him, and walked forward. Phil looked at the figure and decided to trust the man, just like he had on the court. He may be an arrogant bastard, he may have a mask of hypocrisy, he may want to rob other men's girls, but he can be trusted sometimes.

Benjamin walked by the TA's office and said hello to the TA. The teaching assistant gave him an inquiring look, and he just shrugged. But Benjamin suddenly remembered that the baby had told him about a prenatal check-up or something, so he politely asked, "Is everything okay with Mrs. Louis?"

Tim was taking a sip of hot tea and almost choked. He looked up from his teacup and looked at the young man in the doorway. Ben's hair had grown a little longer, and he guessed he had the hairstylist re-trim it, so his hair was now tilted to the side, waxed, and looked handsome. Although this hair color is a bit exaggerated, it does flatter him.

"Thank you for your greetings, Monica is nice, just stopped all work and was a little boring. So she started watching football games recently, and she said you play well and you have a good hairstyle. ”

Benjamin smiled slightly, "Thank you Mrs. Louis on my behalf." He nodded to the TA as he prepared to go to the baby's office.

"Oh......" Tim called out to Benjamin, his face rising a little hesitant, "you'd better wait a minute, she might be in the shower." After the training session, Christine complained for a long time that it was so cold, but she was sweating again. He guessed she might take a shower.

Benjamin pursed his lips and nodded. My mind came and went, the baby was in the shower. Babe in the shower. Immediately, another voice sounded in my head, don't think about it. Don't think about it. There are other voices: take a step back.

No matter how many voices there were, there was only one fact in the end, and his heart beat faster.

Tim looked at his watch and added, "Maybe she's done showering a long time ago." Anyway, don't forget to knock on the door. ”

Benjamin said thank you and turned to walk towards her office. He took a few deep breaths at the door and knocked on it. There was an immediate response, and she let him in. He slowly pushed the door open and entered.

The baby didn't have a shower at all!Mr. Louis lied! She was still wearing the training uniform she had been in half an hour earlier, and her hair was dry. Everyone knows that she hates blowing her hair. She looked at him, didn't speak, just cast an inquiring look.

Benjamin was about to speak, but was caught by the voice on the TV. Real Madrid's previous match against Barcelona was being shown on TV. There's a red-blue 7 running through the camera, and it's Patrick Amber. He remembered that there was a La Liga national derby tonight. So now Sky Sports is looking back at the national derby. In fact, Sky Sports often reviews some classic games, some goals, and Benjamin can describe every detail. The camera cuts to the face of a handsome and sexy Spanish man. His eyes are dark brown, his gaze is unfathomable, and so is his smile. Benjamin suddenly felt that he might really be just a child in the eyes of the baby.

But Pat is a child, too. It's really unfair.

"He won La Liga in his first year at Real Madrid and led them to the Champions League final, which is a remarkable achievement. Benjamin said suddenly.

Lu Ling raised her head, and after a second, she realized what Ben was talking about. She then glanced at the TV screen again. Nick, in a suit, was gesturing to a player on the sidelines, and she knew it meant to be a forward press. She looked back at Benjamin and responded to his words, "yes, Nick is a great head coach. ”

'He was also a great player. Benjamin took two steps forward, still smiling until he saw the narcissus on her windowsill. It won't be someone else's.

Lu Ling laughed, "You will praise yourself." ”

Benjamin barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

She asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh-" Benjamin looked at the woman behind his desk. Here on Thursday, he and Leon sat across from her, suffering together. Unlike on the bus, she lost her temper that afternoon and yelled at them for ten minutes, and then her voice became hoarse. He was a little distressed, and hurriedly poured water for her after she finished yelling. Leon may have wanted to taunt, but he didn't. Angry, hurtful and mentally draining, he made up his mind at that time that he must not always make the baby angry. No matter how the baby wants to be punished, he agrees. Cleaning up Phil Beasley's hair is no problem either. Although it was disgusting.

"Ben. She called his name again.

"Can I clean the locker room myself?"

"Why?"

Benjamin didn't mind being with Leon. Moreover, he felt that the Uruguayans had lost interest in provoking him after being beaten. He was just not satisfied with Leon's cleaning. He has a slight cleanliness fetish, and if he is asked to clean up something, he will try to be meticulous, but Leon clearly only wants to be perfunctory. Yesterday Leon finished cleaning that part of himself, and he had to do it all over again. The efficiency is low. And he doesn't like inefficient things. Naturally, he couldn't tell the baby the truth, which looked like an accusation against Leon, so he told her succinctly: "I did it first." ”

Lu Ling frowned. "Unless you tell me why you did it. ”

Benjamin blushed suddenly. He looked her in the eye and I can't tell you, baby. He whispered, "You know I won't say it. ”

Lu Ling had already guessed that it was the answer, but she had to try it too. She waved her hand, "You coordinate well with Leon, I don't care, I just need to see the clean locker room." If a teammate complains, an extra day is penalized. ”

Benjamin said no problem. He was ready to tell Leon directly that he would get the job done.

"By the way, I heard Alice say that your chest is a little swollen, are you okay now?"

Benjamin was delighted to hear this. It turns out that the baby specifically asked A-Bomb. He shook his head with a plain look on his face and said, "I'm fine." "Actually, it still hurts, baby, it still hurts badly. He saw the baby nodding, and he nodded too, ready to exit the office. But he caught a glimpse of the Spaniard on TV again, so he said thoughtlessly: "I'm looking forward to meeting Nick Flores." What about you?"

She looked down at something, didn't look up, but answered him.

"You'll see, and maybe he's looking forward to seeing you. ”

Benjamin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he thought the same. "See you tomorrow, then. ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

In the La Liga national derby that night, Lu Ling didn't have time to watch it seriously, but she was busy and glanced at it a few times.

Real Madrid beat Barcelona 4-1. Gabriel Jesus completed his hat-trick with three goals scored with his left foot, right foot and head, and the other by Pierre Junkay in a devastating game. After the game, Real Madrid pulled Barcelona seven points away from Barcelona in the La Liga standings.

To be honest, Lu Ling is a little envious of Nick's lead in the league.

The live broadcast camera also showed Nick's ex-girlfriend Andrea Andrade, Lu Ling didn't recognize it, it was the commentator who said it with a smile, and she knew the identity of the girl. While in Nyon, Nick said that Andrea was a Real Madrid fan. Presumably, Andrea didn't go to see her ex-boyfriend, she just went to watch the game.

Before leaving Harrington, Lu Ling remembered something in a trance, Gonzalo was still mentioned to her by Marcelo. said that the ex-girlfriend of the Real Madrid coach made the first hit single in Spanish, and the number of views on YouTube was almost 100 million, and it was also said that the song was written for Nick. Maybe there's a player in the dressing room who let it go? Tim was right, she lived like an old English man during the season. In the past, she would occasionally read hot news in the newspaper, but recently she didn't even bother to read the front page except for flipping through the back page. She walked down the Harrington parking lot, looked down and wrapped her scarf, and suddenly laughed. The narcissistic Nick Flores should be quite enjoying this.

When Lu Ling raised her head, she saw a familiar figure in a trench coat. She didn't know whether to be surprised or angry. She had told Pat many times, don't come to pick her up, don't come to pick her up. But he still does it occasionally. The night was getting deeper, but there was no one. She was embraced by Patrick and whispered a few complaints. She was indeed a mixed bag.

Patrick kissed her on the lips and explained, "Just left Hans's house. You might like this gossip that Hans has a new date. ”

"I do love this gossip. You can tell me more details when you have time. Lu Ling kissed the man's cold face. "Let's hurry home now. Actually, you should be asleep by now, Mr. Amber. ”

"Yes, my Majesty. ”

On Sunday, the QPR travelled to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace. Leon and Phil scored a goal each in the first half, and Phil scored twice in the second half. Patrick was on the pitch for just 60 minutes and didn't score, but he did provide a work of art assist. He sent a long-range through ball to Phil near the centre circle. In addition to leading the Premier League's scorers' charts, Patrick has also tally provided 18 assists in the Premier League this season. Despite the abundance of talent in European football over the past two seasons, Patrick Amber's position as the world's number one star is hard to shake.

It was an easy win and no one was hurt. The QPR boss can finally breathe a sigh of relief ahead of the international break.

After 29 rounds of Premier League play, QPR and Chelsea have 74 points with one game less, and QPR is at the top of the table on goal difference. Everton also have a game in hand, with 69 points, and still have a title hope.

The final international break of the season arrives. Another slew of players will leave Harrington to report for the national team.

Back again, it's April.

That meant the start of the season sprint. 166 Reading Network
