Yu Zixiang and Campbell were replaced, and Alvaro and Nedham were replaced. Ian gave the captain's armband to Nedham.

The QPR has become a 541 formation, and when defending from set-pieces, the center forward Dzyuba will also be in the penalty area, blocking the space.

Lu Ling took advantage of the time when the ball was out of bounds and called Leon over to say a few words.

After that, everyone was surprised to find that the first scorer of QPR ran over to defend Jesus!

There is not much time left, Leon's defensive task is not heavy, and Lu Ling's strategy is to let him follow Jesus.

Leon had no defensive skills but he was flexible, and the boss cautioned him not to put his foot on the ball and just disrupt Gabriel Jesus' possession so that other team-mates could break the ball or clear it.

A high ball landed in front of Jesus, and Leon immediately rushed up, and the two bodies collided, and Leon's right leg was in front of Jesus, and Jesus immediately stretched out his right foot to control the ball.

The ball □□ disturbed, and Jacob immediately rushed up and kicked the ball away.

The game has gone into stoppage time. Due to Zixiang's injury, there were five minutes of stoppage time.

City were awarded set-pieces frequently in those five minutes, but they were unable to form a comfortable shot.

Gabriel Jesus finally got his hands on the ball on the corner of the box, but this time León was a little slower.

Gabriel Jesus paused suddenly, deliberately waiting for the Uruguayan to rush at him, then pierced past him before facing Mensah. Mensa's feet were already sticking out, and the space around them was narrow.

Gabriel Jesus touched the ball with unimaginable speed and flicked it away so far that Mensah's foot was just a little closer.

Gabriel Jesus then immediately adjusted to a shooting position. He had an inside right foot touch and curled a curling shot.

The ball flew into the top corner of the far end of the goal.

Hans soared into the air and stretched out his right palm with all his might.

But didn't touch the ball.

All eyes were on the trajectory of the ball, and there were already Manchester City fans behind the goal with their hands raised.

But the ball hit the top corner of the goal frame and flew off the baseline.

Immediately, the referee's whistle sounded.

With a 2-1 win at Manchester City, QPR equalled Everton at the top of the table and regained top spot on goal difference. Of course, Everton only play this round tomorrow, away at Sunderland.

The camera follows captain Nedham, who runs over and hugs Ian with a smile on his face, then Leon also passes, then goalkeeper Hans passes, and then all the QPR players on the field pass.

Lu Ling had already finished shaking hands with the Catalans.

He asked her a question, and he answered her. He then asked another question, and she answered him.

"You imagine all the possible scenarios before the game, don't you?"

"Yes. ”

"I know it doesn't always turn out the way you hoped, but what if it doesn't go your way?"

"That never bothered me. ”

Something flashed in the Catalunya's eyes, and he didn't say anything more, walking straight to the players' tunnel.

Lu Ling turned his head.

That's what makes us different, Pep. Your paranoia makes you a great manager, but it has the potential to prevent you from becoming a greater manager.

But in fact, who was she to judge him? She didn't even know where some of her paranoia would lead her. Moreover, she now has nothing. Even if one day, she would have a lot, and she might not be able to become a pioneer like him. Although, that's what she's struggling for.

Pep Guardiola's back is melancholy. The back after losing is always melancholy. What is even more melancholy is that after this game, Manchester City basically declared that this season's title race has failed. Now Manchester City has two rounds behind and a make-up game, even if they win all of them, they will have to get a maximum of 85 points. And Everton hasn't played this round yet, and there are two more rounds after that, and they have 82 points.

In fact, she also wants to know if she will see him again in the Premier League next season, or is there some truth to the newspaper rumours? Is it really possible for Pep to return to Barcelona in the summer?

In any case, she couldn't possibly know now.

Lu Ling turned his head and walked towards the court.

The coaching staff and the players on the bench have already entered the field.

It was a tough but beautiful victory.

It's worth celebrating.

Ian called out to her, and she quickened her pace. All of them, already in a circle.

****

Patrick watched all the QPR players on TV, including the players on the bench and all members of the coaching staff, including Tina, in a circle.

At first it was Nedham talking, then Ian, then Tina.

Soon, everyone didn't say much. The cameraman seemed to try to get closer, but was blocked by a QPR coach.

Only a handful of words made it into the live stream.

“her...”

“s...”

“sleft...”

Patrick took a sip of the coffee on the coffee table, and he drank it all. He doesn't regret it, just a little regret. And more than that, it's a good wish for that team.

****

One after another, players stood up. It was already half past seven on Saturday night, and it was already dinner time.

Nicholas also got up from his seat, and the TV cut to the commercial. Everyone realized that the head coach had something to say, and immediately stopped all activities and sounds, and some people quickly turned off the TV with the remote control.

Now, there's silence in the common room at Vinci Farm.

"You've seen the QPR as well, they're only three points off us now. I don't think there's much to say, as long as we don't make mistakes, this season's Premier League title is ours. So, then, we only have one thing to do—"

"Don't make mistakes!"

"That's right, remember that, get a good night's sleep, and we'll win tomorrow too!"

"It was a tough game, I think probably one of the toughest games of the season," she said in a TV interview. Man City played very well, they had more possession, they had more shots, they had the best player of the season, they put us under a lot of pressure and we struggled to get the ball most of the time. But we created some good chances and those chances gave us two goals. Oh, I have to say he's a great fighter, I've already told him. We'll need to see further about his injury and I hope it won't affect the rest of the game. He's the man of the match, he's got an assist and a goal, he's one of the best midfielders in the Premier League in my mind. Yes, we're still three points short of Everton, and they've done so well this season, especially in the second half of the season, which makes it difficult for other teams to keep up with them. But ......"

She said this, paused, smiled and pointed to the camera: "Everton, we're right behind you now." ”

Then, thanking the reporter who interviewed her, she left the TV camera.

Jack laughed: "Christine is becoming more and more like a head coach, and her last words are to put some pressure on the Toffees." ”

Patrick came back to his senses and answered. Tina has always been confident, she's getting more and more confident, and as Dad said, more and more like a manager. Maybe it's not accurate to say that, she's been a manager for a long time, but she's becoming more and more like a successful manager.

Patrick turned off the TV and said: "Hopefully Everton lose tomorrow to Sunderland." ”

"This ...... It's not easy. Jack added, adding, "It looks like you're not missing the Premier League fixtures." ”

"I'm hungry. We could go out for a bite to eat. How long are you going to stay in Barcelona?"

Jack looked at his watch, "This point...... The Spaniards had just finished lunch. ”

Patrick chuckled, "It's not that exaggerated, but they do not go to the restaurant until a little later, so we don't have to wait." ”

Jack pouted, "Does my son have to wait to book a seat now?"

"My Spanish is terrible. ”

"I think anyone can understand the words Patrick-Amber. ”

Patrick took the car keys, smiled, and didn't speak. He walked to the door, saw that his father had not come, and turned around and called out to him.

"I'll probably finish my meal and leave, Pat. Jack said.

Patrick frowned.

"I'm not going to tell you that shit, but I have a few things I want to say, and I think I'll say it here, and when I get to the restaurant, I want to enjoy the Spanish food. ”

Patrick waited.

"Actually, I didn't know much about your feelings for Tina, your mother or Anna knew better than I did, but they both said it would be better for me to talk to you, so I came. ”

"So what? What do you want to talk about?"

"But I do know that you rely on her. Instead of looking directly at his son, Jack looked away, "Maybe it's too dependent, you don't even realize it." Now this situation may be better for you and her. She's actually very dependent on you, and she probably doesn't know it either...... I guess that's all I want to say. ”

Patrick thought about his father's words, but didn't react.

Jack walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, son, you said we never had a conversation between a son and a father, and I don't think that's right. Don't you remember when you were fifteen years old, I gave you your first condom and told you not to be a teenage father? ”

Patrick laughed far-fetched, "Oh, about that ......" he grabbed his hair, "That wasn't my first condom, I went to Alk-in Clinic and picked up a bunch of free ones before that." ”

Jack's eyes widened, and after his surprise, he added, "There's another warning ......"

"I don't want to hear it. ”

They came out of the house and closed the door.

It's night in Barcelona and the temperature is just right.

Patrick looked at his father and said helplessly, "Say it, old man." ”
