Thursday afternoon, cloudy.

Lu Ling was eating corn chips on the couch in Patrick's living room while watching Jacob Harding's clips on the iPad while staring at the TV. She promised Patrick to accompany him to dinner tonight, but she might go to Harrington after dinner.

Patrick teases Zoe on the other side.

The conversation between Seedorf, the winner of the Champions League draw, and the host was being shown on TV.

“baby.” Patrick suddenly shouted.

Lu Ling answered, and stuffed another piece of corn flakes into his mouth.

"Are you hungry?" he asked her, looking up.

"A little. Is Paul coming soon?"

Patrick looked at his watch, "There's still more than half an hour." I can make you something to eat first, if you're really hungry. ”

"Oh, please. Seriously, what would you do?"

He thought about it seriously, but to no avail, so he pouted, "I'll use the oven." The point is, what do you want to eat? I can learn from YouTube. ”

She laughed, "No need, Pat. You are sweet, thank you. Then she put her iPad aside and asked him to come over.

Patrick walked over and sat down next to her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She had a little cheese powder on her mouth, and he didn't wait for her to answer, he kissed her first, licking all the cheese powder from her mouth.

"Oh-" she snorted softly.

He pinched her chin and asked again, "Why did you call me over?"

Lu Ling licked his lower lip, a little naughty, more seducing, "Come and kiss me." ”

Patrick actually knew. But he likes to see her look so different from the Christine Lu in everyone's eyes, and in this case, she is just his Tina.

She hugged his neck and thought of something again, and said, "What you did to Walker, it seems that someone is complaining about him." ”

"Yes. His hand reached under her garment, and he replied absent-mindedly.

Yesterday, England legend and former Tottenham captain Ledley King said in an interview: "Patrick is a genius, but he shouldn't tease his opponents like that, especially when the opponent is his national team team-mate. ”

"You and Kyle Walker are going to meet in the national team soon. Lu Ling continued.

"I'm not going to apologize. Patrick replied casually. His attention was entirely on her body.

Lu Ling pushed him, and his voice became a little serious, "Pat......"

"Don't worry baby, I know how to do it. I'm not going to apologize, but I'll tell Kyle that I'm not targeting him personally. He said that he was about to unbutton her underwear.

"Pate, the draw has begun...... And, Zoe is there......"

Patrick turned his head to look at the TV, then down at the pit bull, where Zoe was staring at him. He was a little stupid, but he stopped all his movements anyway.

Of the four Premier League teams, last season's champions Manchester United are in Pot 1, Manchester City and Chelsea are in Pot 2, while Everton, who have not played in Europe for a long time, can only be placed in Pot 4.

Pot 1 teams were quickly drawn out, with Real Madrid legend Hierro pulling Premier League champions Manchester United out and dropping them in Group A.

In the second pot, Seedorf and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba drew Manchester United with Sevilla. And Manchester City was also drawn, and it was actually a group with Bayern Munich - last season Pep drew his old club Barcelona, and this season he drew another old club.

Chelsea were then placed in a good group, with Benfica in Pot 1.

Pot 3 is finished, followed by Everton's Pot 4.

"Everton's" ball was finally drawn by draw guest Hagey, and then Seedorf's hand reached for another draw pool.

“groupc.” Seedorf read.

Group C is: Juventus, Real Madrid, Zenit St. Petersburg, Everton.

Lu Ling's eyes widened, oh, Nick's signing was really bad. He was drawn the Serie A champion, the runners-up in La Liga, and the distant Russian team.

The other three Premier League teams are grouped in:

Group A: Manchester United, Sevilla, Bayer Leverkusen, Copenhagen

Group F: Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Sporting Portugal, Dinamo Zagreb

Group G: Benfica, Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven, Malmo

It looks like Everton are in the worst position to qualify.

Patrick glanced at the TV and tickled in her ear and asked, "Would you want to call him?"

"Why did I call him?" Lu Ling touched the side of the man's face with his backhand.

"I thought you'd think, make a few jokes, comfort comfort or something...... Isn't he an important person in your life?" his tone was nonchalant.

Lu Ling was a little surprised, this guy was not quite right, she turned her head to look at him, and sure enough, the expression on his face was full of mockery.

"Are you sarcastic about me?" she asked him, squinting her eyes.

"Am I there?" Patrick asked with a grin, his eyebrows raised, but right away, he added, "I'm tired of the media and fans still like to associate you with each other. But, the good thing is that you're actually done with him a long time ago. He changed a lot of women. And you're mine. ”

yes, a lot of women. Nick has started a new life. A surprise phone call will only seem inexplicable.

"Sounds like I'm a trophy. ”

"You know I didn't mean that. ”

The doorbell rang, and it was supposed that the chef had arrived.

Lu Ling got up from Patrick's arms and picked up the ipad on the table, "I'll go upstairs, call me when dinner is ready." She took two steps and came back to get the cornflakes.

"Tina. He called out to her.

Lu Ling leaned over and kissed him. He tugged at her arm and didn't let her go, and kissed her well before letting go of her.

"This is my girl. He said.

The Europa League draw is at noon on Friday.

After the first training session, Lu Ling watched with the players in the Harrington cafeteria.

Queens Park Rangers, who have basically never participated in European competitions, are naturally the fourth team.

The draw went much cleaner than the Champions League, and the final result was-

Europa League Group B: Roma, Celtic, Spartak Moscow, QPR

The fourth place in Serie A, the champion of the Soviet Super League, also has a snowy away game in Russia......

Lu Ling flattened his mouth and asked the teaching assistant, "What do you think?"

Tim clapped his hands twice and sarcastically said, "Bravobravo!"

Lu Ling was amused by his appearance, she glanced at the restaurant again, and the expressions of the players were not too good.

She stood up, "Hey, everyone!"

Everyone looked at it.

She said seriously: "I think our fans have their passports ready......

Laughter rang out.

"I figured we had to give them a little bit of hope for something other than travel, and we'd do a good job, right?"

A chorus echoed.

"That's all I have to say. Don't worry, I'm not going to pour you chicken soup while you're eating. ”

Laughter and heckling again.

She sat down and bumped Tim on the shoulder: "I haven't been to Moscow. ”

"I've been there twice. cold pee can freeze. "Tim rarely has such a big grudge.

"Then I'm going to have to tell the players not to do that. She continued to laugh and tease, but she was actually in a bad mood.

For some teams, if they can't play in the Champions League, the Europa League is also a good event, such as Sevilla, which specialized in the Europa League in the past few years, but for many teams in the Premier League, the Europa League prize money is too small, and they still need to travel to some strange places (the QPR signing is already good, some teams are going to Kazakhstan), plus Thursday night games, if it is away, it will take until Friday early hours to get home, and you have to stay up late, which is very unfavorable to the preparation of the league.

Compared with the huge income of the Premier League itself, the Europa League is not attractive enough, and many teams are more willing to focus on the league, so in the past Europa League events, there are Premier League teams that use rotating lineups to participate in the qualifying round, or even the main game, and then are easily eliminated.

However, this is Lu Ling's first time leading the team to participate in European competitions, and she believes that as long as the team builds a thick enough squad, it will have a chance to challenge multi-front operations. What's more, now the winner of the Europa League can get a place in the Champions League, which is also tempting.

At three o'clock on Saturday, the QPR returned to the new Queen's Park to face David Moyes' Sunderland.

With Guus Hiddink resigning from the England squad at the start of the season due to health reasons, the Three Lions have hired Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce as their new manager, so David Moyes is back in charge after a long hiatus.

The "Black Cats" have been on a thrilling relegation for several seasons in a row, and this season they have also invested a lot in the transfer market, reaching 50 million pounds. Moreover, David Moyes may not have a high ceiling, but he can keep his team at a high ceiling, and there have been many games in the past when he led Everton to make it difficult for strong teams.

In fact, about Moyes, Lu Ling had a relationship with him in private. It was three years ago, not long after the Scotsman left Manchester United.

It was in the 2014 Championship promotion play-off final, and she had just been recruited by Tom Sr. and was far from qualified to sit in the dugout, but she still got a ticket from Tom Sr. in a better place.

Coincidentally, sitting diagonally behind him was none other than David Moyes. The Scottish expression was somewhat gloomy.

People around Moyes spoke to him throughout the game, talking about the '(the chosen one)' banner that Old Trafford had hung for him.

Manchester United fans and countless media outlets saw that as a tribute to David Moyes, as he was chosen by legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Lu Ling pricked up her ears when she heard this, she wanted to know what Moyes thought of the banner.

Moyes's Scottish accent rang in her ears: "'iasthere." (I've never liked that.) It was like a mocking face, and it hung over my head while I was there. ）

Lu Ling couldn't help but twist his head and interjected, "I think if I were you, I would hate that banner too." No coach would like that statement. ”

Moyes turned to her, and although he didn't know him, he smiled a little on his wrinkled face, "At least, a coach with a modicum of self-esteem wouldn't like that." ”

Three years have passed, and I wonder if David Moyes still remembers that scene? 166 Reading.com
