Real Madrid arrived in New York a day later than QPR.|If the Blues and Whites received a warm welcome at JFK a day earlier, when Real Madrid arrived at JFK, it was definitely not enthusiastic, and the fans who came to greet them caused chaos in the airport hall at one point.
Coach Nicolas Flores was probably the most prominent member of the crowd, and signs holding "Nick I love you", "Nick you are the best" and "Let's get married, Flores" were everywhere.
Later, a player on the bus teased the coach: "This team doesn't need Amber at all, Mr. Flores alone can capture the hearts of the girls, and if Amber does join the team, they will fight for which of them is more attractive." ”
Nicholas laughed it off, he could tolerate such jokes for the time being.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Juan whispered in Nicholas' ear, "This may really be a problem, if Trek joins, you and him won't have to fight for a certain lady, but for who is the real superstar of this team." ”
Nicholas smiled and asked the TA, "Do you know how ridiculous this sounds?"
Juan tugged at his suitcase and said innocently, "You'll have to ask the chairman, that's his idea." ”
Nicholas didn't seem to hear it, and he waved to the fans outside the hotel and stepped into the elevator.
Juan followed into the elevator, and he thought, this is another summer of soap operas.

"When I was at Wembley, Pepp excitedly told me that he thought Pater was doing very well at the European Championships, and of course he was mercilessly criticising the England manager, and he was angry about Pater's injury, and we don't talk about that, the thing is that I don't think the Catalans want to sell Pete at all. Why did he do this? He's not crazy. At least when I saw him at Wembley, he was normal. Lu Ling found that he could speak faster than he had imagined.
"I don't know what Pep Guardiola thinks. Simon said, "Our message is a bit behind my question." According to a reporter from Marca, there are people in the Barcelona hierarchy who are very worried about Patrick's repeated injuries, and if a team is willing to pay close to liquidated damages, they may consider selling Patrick, but that's 300 million euros! But only an hour later, "As" newspaper, Sail radio and Sky Sports released the news. The Real Madrid president was probably the first to know. The journalist was naturally famous, and I don't know how he managed to get such a covert message. ”
"So, that's not Nick's idea either. Lu Ling said leisurely. Of course, that wouldn't have been Nick's idea, and Pat might be the player any manager wants, but such a superstar would undoubtedly bring chaos into the locker room, especially with a team that already has multiple super-attackers.
"That's also unknown. At the moment, neither the Real Madrid manager nor the Barcelona manager has spoken. In this crazy market, maybe Real Madrid can really come up with so much money, the problem is that Barcelona will not sell to Real Madrid. Even if they were worried about Patrick's injury, they wouldn't be crazy enough to sell it to Real Madrid. Simon laughed, "If they do, then they and Patrick will have to fear for their lives, you know some radical fans can do anything." ”
Lu Ling couldn't laugh. If this is true, if Barcelona really loosen up on the deal with Pyte, then it means that QPR will have to consider whether to make a move. That's what Simon really meant when he made the call.
"Christine. ”
"I'm listening. ”
"You say we want a superstar and we can try Neymar, Dembele and even Real Madrid's Gabriel Jesus, but if Patrick has the slightest possibility, don't you think he's our number one target?"
"According to what you just said, you should have known about this news an hour ago, that is, before Sky Sports sent out that news, why did you call me now?"
Simon said helplessly on the phone, "Nate said you would definitely ask this, and you did." Yes, I talked to him first. ”
"What does he mean?"
He said he would be at the hotel in the evening. What do you think? After this news comes out, it is estimated that Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester will act immediately. We had some clauses to take advantage of when we first loaned and sold Patrick to Barca, and the sooner this happens, the better it will be for us. ”
"Have you talked to Patrick himself or his agent?" Lu Ling found himself feeling a strange sense of detachment when he asked this question. It's as if Pat is just an average player and Steve isn't her agent either.
"Nope. Simon sighed meaningfully, "It's a bit weird. Patrick posted a photo of their Champions League triumph last night with Neymar and Messi on Instagram last night, claiming that he is recovering well and looking forward to the new season. I don't even think he knew about it before I did. As for his agent, Steve, isn't that also your agent?"
Lu Ling answered, and after a while, she said, "I haven't been in contact with Pat and Steve for about three or four days. Things are always changing. But I don't think Steve should know that although two and a half years ago, they contacted me for a transfer, but this time it's different, they don't need to hide it from me. ”
"You're right. Kristen, hey, you still haven't told me what you think. ”
Lu Ling said: "Let me think about it, Simon, let me think about it." ”

Patrick hung up the phone and shook his head at Steve, "Mr. Guardiola doesn't know, that's not his idea." ”
Steve shrugged, "Got you." ”
Patricknu pouted, "It looks like I'm one of those players who don't know the club wants to sell him." ”
"They're worried that you'll get hurt again. ”
"I can tell them I don't think it's likely, no, no, I think the team doctor has told them that. The point is that they think it's gambling for me to stay at the club. ”
'It's hard to blame them, business is business, they're not exactly the same as your manager. Their consideration is that you've been injured four times this year, which has a direct impact on the team's title race on both fronts. If you continue to get hurt – God forbid that doesn't happen – it means that your price will drop dramatically if they try to sell you again next summer. I've heard some news that Barcelona are starting to have financial pressure, they have invested a lot of money in stadium repairs, and your high annual salary is also a burden on them. ”
Patrick scoffed, "Aren't the clubs that want to buy me in a bigger gamble?"
"Real Madrid look happy to make that bet. ”
Patrick thought it was definitely the most ridiculous thing that had happened in the past year. A few months ago, he and Tina had made such jokes, saying that if he went to Real Madrid, Pique would most likely murder him. But then it was just a joke. Patrick raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, "Real Madrid wants me? Nicholas is willing to pay 300 million to buy me?" 166 Reading Network
