Highly recommended:

Those were two right angles in the snowflakes. し。 Half a second later, those two right angles appeared in every corner of the away stands. The cheers of the QPR fans then turned into a uniform shout:

The Queen's Blue and White Legion!

The Queen's Blue and White Legion!!

The Queen's Blue and White Legion!!

Everton fans seem to have tried to drown out such shouts with abusive singing, but in vain, as the people in front of the TV can attest.

Lu Ling smiled. In front of countless cameras, she showed a little smile. No one knew what she meant. She didn't look in that direction again, and he had already lowered his arms. She just turned around and hugged the assistant coach before returning to the dugout and sitting down. She picked up a bottle of water, slowly turned the cap, and slowly brought the bottle to her mouth. Beside her and behind her, the substitutes and members of the coaching staff were also back in their seats. By the time she finished drinking, the court was ready to kick off again. The game is not over yet, there are at least four minutes left. You never know when the Premier League referee will blow the final whistle. You should be vigilant.

But Tim's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Ling's ears: "He's a romantic boy." I've always felt like he's matured a lot since he came back......" The TA continued with laughter, "and he's still going crazy for you. ”

Lu Ling didn't speak. She stood up again and walked to the sideline.

The game isn't over yet. She told herself.

Nothing happened again. Although Everton were under siege for almost a minute, when the corner was taken, Benjamin got the ball and passed it to Sorin...... The rest of the time is just QPR stalling on the ball.

The final whistle blows.

Lu Ling clenched his fists vigorously. 6 points. She now holds a six-point deficit. Even if Chelsea win tomorrow and overtake Everton in the table, then QPR would have a five-point advantage. As long as her team doesn't make major mistakes in the upcoming games, then this season's Premier League title will be in her bag. Of course, caution is still needed. There are also three cup competitions mixed in, especially the Champions League knockout stage......

Alice suddenly hugged her behind her.

Lu Ling turned his head and smiled, "Yes, I know, a great football game. ”

Alice's eyes flickered and rolled, and finally she covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "A romantic football game." ”

Lu Ling smiled, patted Alice on the back, and walked towards the Everton manager.

Marco Silva was in a bad mood, but he didn't show much in his facial expressions. He politely shook hands with Kristen Lu and immediately walked to the players' tunnel. He lost all initiative. Now, all he can hope is that the romantic celebration will cause a little trouble for QPR. Still, that's not something he can control. There's no way he's going to stand up and say, "Look, she's got together with her players," that's out of style. On top of that, that's useless. It's clear that, at least, their fans don't care.

Lu Ling unbuttoned his coat and walked onto the field. She shook hands or hugged every player on the field. She didn't know what they were thinking, she didn't pay attention to their expressions, and she didn't know what was going to happen next...... There were many things she didn't know, and of course she was afraid. But as Pat said on that night in Barcelona, she would face her fears and do just that.

The snow in Liverpool is getting heavier and heavier.

Goodison Park is lit up on all sides. The home fans are leaving, and the away fans are almost not leaving. They were cheering and singing. In the wind and snow, Lu Ling vaguely heard the ridiculous singing of the Liverpudlians. "She's got a Spanish lover...... "She knew, she always knew, and those memories of her and Nick would be brought up again and again with these songs. She couldn't pretend it hadn't happened, and she didn't have to forget. It's just that in any case, that's in the past tense.

The players are also hugging each other. It was a victory to celebrate, beating one of their strongest rivals, leading by six points, and with a goal difference that Everton and Chelsea could not beat. Everton's players looked frustrated, and they certainly knew that the chances of winning the league title this season were much less likely after this game.

People seem to be waiting for a hug from Patrick Amber and Kristen Lu. But when Lu Ling finally walked up to Patrick, they didn't hug, they just smiled at each other, and then ......

Hit the fist.

Lu Ling finally applauded with the players and thanked the QPR diehards who came from afar in bad weather. Perhaps, maybe it really can be celebrated in advance. As long as the company does not pay out the bonus in advance. (There have been companies that decided that United would win the title before the season was over and paid out bonuses, only to be reversed.) ）

When Pierre hugged Bruno, he said: "I really like you. ”

The sentence was very simple, Bruno understood, and he quickly pushed the French child away, with a disgusted expression on his face. "You're disgusting. After speaking, the poison dart frog paused, "I wish you all the best in Real Madrid." If ......" Bruno said in Spanish, "if you can get rid of the QPR in the Champions League, I'm willing to pay for your Asian senior call girl." ”

Pierre almost squirted saliva in the Uruguayan face. And the poison dart frog has already run towards the players' tunnel. Pierre looked at the pitch a little lonely, and sadness came over him. He didn't go to Mr. Amber again to change his jersey. Mr. Amber will not change the jersey of this game with him under any circumstances. He knows. Everton. Pierre whispered the word, finally smiled and walked in the direction of the players' tunnel. But after a few steps, he turned his head. He saw that the QPR guys were coming back from the away fan stands.

The snow is so big. Pierre thought. He suddenly started running. He ran up to Queen Christine. He stupidly asked a question: "Ma'am, I'll be back in Madrid the day after tomorrow...... Do you need me to give our manager a word?"

Lu Ling looked at the immature face under the snowflakes and was speechless for a while. What the hell was this kid thinking? and an exaggerated laugh rang out in her ears.

No, Phil stepped forward and answered Pierre's question.

"Yo, kid, go back and tell Nick Flores that if we meet in the Champions League, I'm going to kick him in the ass...... No, we're going to fucking kick you in the ass!!"

In the wind and snow in Goodison Park, the stunned expression of the French boy is the last picture of the live broadcast.

After entering the players' tunnel, Patrick patted the snowflakes on his body. Six points, he thought, five points even if Chelsea win tomorrow. He gave his ball to Phil because he needed to be interviewed by Sky Sports. With him is the captain and best friend, Ian.

Sky Sports reporters asked some of the usual questions as usual. In fact, at the end of this game, people may only have one problem. What does that celebration mean? A knowingly asked. The reporter really asked.

Patrick said to the camera, "That's what everyone thinks." He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Whoever has an objection to this, stop me, stop me from scoring." Because as long as I'm still scoring, I'm going to do that. "He's not keeping her behind him, he's just trying to show everyone about the shape of his heart. Ian smiled beside him.

Wait until Patrick pushes open the locker room door. Everyone stopped what they were doing. The head coach has gone to the press conference, and everyone knows that Patrick will be back first.

Patrick repeated in silence, "That's what everyone thinks." Whoever has an objection to this, stop me, stop me from scoring. Because as long as I'm still scoring, I'm going to do that. Moments later, he heard the laughter of his teammates. He also had a smile on his face. He's already talked to Steve, and he'll need to talk to the club owner next.

It's nothing but a game.

"It was a fun celebration. Lu Ling said, her face did not change, "I just want to say that Pat is proud of that goal, we are all proud of him." At the same time, it was a win for us as a team. ”

Lu Ling was asked the same question in television interviews and at news conferences. Her two responses remained almost unchanged. And the "fun celebration" - #iingcelebration在顷刻之间成为了推特的热门话题.

Of course, there was a lot of talk about Patrick Amber's three brilliant goals, and the drama of the game.

[Isn't it obvious what Amber meant? He loves his manager, that's it. 】

[Maybe he just wants to show that he is fighting for the head coach...... At least that's what I said to my second-grade daughter. 】

[The goal was so exciting, I missed his celebration when I stood up and yelled. Patrick Amber is the No. 1 player in history!]

[Football is the most noteworthy.] If Kid Pat plays like this every game, I don't care who he sleeps with. 】

[I don't know why, I don't like Kristen Lu.] Don't criticize me, it has nothing to do with her gender, she just doesn't like it. 】

[Fun celebration. Interesting players. Interesting coach. 】

[People are always criticizing commercial football for not being pure enough, isn't this the best football? That "ll" gesture doesn't matter, I don't want to know what their relationship is. 】

The well-known Twitter account Queens Park Romance also tweeted:

[Lu is clearly avoiding the true meaning of this celebratory gesture.] I guess Amber's next hat-trick will throw a stack of playing cards like a magician. I look forward to the Queen's reaction at that time. 】

Benjamin knew the head coach had returned from the post-game press conference. Because there was a sudden silence in the locker room, and then, her voice. He was the only one in the entire shower.

'I know what you're thinking, I just want to say that for me we got the three points in this game that were crucial......

Someone had the audacity to laugh and ask, "Is there going to be a wedding after the season?" but whose voice was that? Gonzalo or Henk? Benjamin didn't know, he should.

Laughter rang out.

Her voice grew high, but still confidently steady.

"Do I still have your respect?"

"Of course, we want to win all the championships, we don't care about anything else. "It's Ian's voice, Benjamin is sure.

This was followed by echoes.

……

The sound of splashing drowned out all the sounds outside. Benjamin closed his eyes. About half an hour ago, she shook his hand and didn't hug him. Her palms were hot. Her palms were so hot in such cold weather. She just said, "You played well, Ben." "Nothing else. Then she immediately walked over to the other teammates.

Benjamin opened his eyes, and the water was splashing above his head. It was as if he could see two right angles in the snowflakes in the shower.

By the time Benjamin came out of the shower, many of his teammates had already gone to the bus, and he might have been in there for a long time. Jacob packed his bag, but didn't move. The Newcastle man looked like he wanted to be with him. Benjamin tightened his towel and whispered a question, "Jake, Pat's third goal, will count as my assist, right?"

Jacob stared at Ben for a moment, then nodded.

On the bus back to London, before Lu Ling was about to take a nap, she received a message from Patrick Amber.

[I said that what we create today will be good. And, in the future, when you come to this city, when you come to this stadium, you will no longer think of him, but also me. Believe me. 】

She replied: "I know. 】

He's stupid. She thought, closing her eyes. It's just that the corners of my eyes are wet.

The wind and snow may continue, but eventually it will stop.

The next day, Tim came to Harrington very early.

He sat down at the table, picked up the cup in his cold hand, and took a sip of steaming coffee. A stack of newspapers has been put away. Although he skimmed a lot of the news last night before going to bed, he was too tired by then. Now he was ready to take a closer look.

The headlines on the final pages of the major media outlets were all about the brilliant victory of the QPR over Everton, and Patrick Amber, who scored another hat-trick against Everton this season.

Unsurprisingly, many media outlets have consciously or unconsciously mentioned that celebration.
