"Boss, I bet Sean's red hair must be standing on end. Lu Ling sat on the sofa and said with his calves dangling. The curve of her calves is beautiful, which has nothing to do with her perennial exercise.

Nicholas leaned against his desk, his right index finger tapping rhythmically against the edge. He glanced at his assistant's shaky calves and returned his attention to the tactical board.

A hanging screen was showing footage of Burnley's match against Myburgh in the last round, which ended in 2:1. Both goals were scored by Andre Gray. Although he lost out to Patrick Amber in the Season Championship, he was the undisputed top scorer in the Championship this season. No way, Patrick Amber played a dozen league games less than him.

Lu Ling looked at Andre Gray's direct free kick that penetrated the human wall on the screen, it was indeed beautiful. She was a little hungry and stood up.

Nicholas then turned his head to look at her, "Where?"

"I ordered a takeout, and I was tired of eating everything in the restaurant. Do you need it?"

"Good. He nodded, paused, and seemed to have something to say.

Lu Ling shrugged his shoulders slightly and asked him what he wanted to say.

"You were a little depressed two days ago. ”

"I didn't get good grades. Lu Ling smiled lightly.

"That's ...... I thought it was something else. Nicholas stared at the assistant.

The assistant frowned slightly and shrugged his shoulders again.

Then, as she was about to walk out, she heard him say, "I'm sorry. ”

Lu Ling stopped and didn't look back. They all understood what he was sorry for.

Burnley's home stadium, Tiffmore Stadium, had a hot atmosphere before the game.

Lu Yungui did not follow the fan bus to Burnley, but came from London by train. At the moment, he is a little out of place in the away fan zone.

Generally, the fans who follow the team away are the team's most die-hard fans, and most of them are old guys who can call each other by name, even if they can't be named, they are very familiar. But this middle-aged Asian man, Ron Smith bet, he hadn't seen it once.

This guy must have gotten a scalper ticket, I don't know which son of a bitch, I didn't even watch such an important QPR game, and actually sold the ticket. Ron spat in his heart for a while.

With a few moments left before the game started, Ron decided to get out of his seat and talk to him.

When a greeting voice came from behind him, Lu Yungui was startled. The old English man on the opposite side was skinny, laughed a little horrible, and had a bad tooth - presumably he either smoked too much or took drugs when he was young.

"Hey man, you're also for QPR, aren't you?"

Lu Yungui nodded solemnly.

"I said, man, can you understand English? Are you here to support our teaching assistant?"

Ron's logic is common sense, QPR is not like Manchester United, Arsenal is a big club, and Asian fans are never common.

Lu Yungui stammered, "I'...... I'm here to support Christine. ”

Ron boasted in his heart that he was so clever. He suddenly realized something, and looked at the middle-aged man carefully. He looked to be in his mid-fifties, with half-white hair and a vicissitudes of face. Although his eyes are a little evasive, his facial features are very upright. If you look closely, it looks a little like the team's assistant coach.

"Oh God, you're not going to be Christine's father, are you?" Ron almost shouted.

"Shhh His movements were a little abrupt, but Ron had understood that this was the case, so he understood and grinned.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, your daughter is great! you should be proud of her!" Ron said heartily. As he spoke, he looked into the field, where the assistant coach was accompanying the players to warm up.

"I'm really proud of her!" Lu Yungui looked at her daughter's figure on the court, changed her previous jerkyness, and said loudly.

After a week of hype, this pinnacle clash in the Championship has attracted as much attention as some Premier League matchups.

In the game that has already been completed, Middlesbrough won against Birmingham City, temporarily two points ahead of Burnley. For QPR, who are two points less than Burnley and four points less than Middlesbrough, only a win in this game can take their destiny into their own hands in the final round.

If this game loses or draws, then even if QPR wins in the last round, it can only hope that Middlesbrough or Burnley will lose points themselves to have a direct chance of promotion.

Last time out, QPR boss Nicholas missed out on a direct encounter with Sean Dyche due to being sidelined by an FA penalty. But this time, the two had already ignited a war of words before the game.

When Nicolas Flores came out of the tunnel of the players, he was booed from all over the stadium.

Sky Sports commentator Bill Leslie teased: "Oh, the Spaniard came here today, he was dressed like he was going to a fancy banquet. ”

Nicholas is really particular about what he dresses today. He didn't wear a club suit today, but his dark gray high-end suit, but he still wore a club tie, and the shirt inside was pure white, and the waistcoat was the same color as his coat. With his handsome face, how can he not attract attention?

In comparison, Sean Dyche's suit looks a bit rustic, just like his coaching style.

Nicholas turned a deaf ear to the overwhelming boos and walked over to the red-haired Burnley boss with a slight smile on his lips.

The two shook hands for a short time, except for saying hello, there was no other greeting, and finally they patted each other's shoulders and returned to the coaching seats of each party.

Lu Ling also booed a little when she came out of the players' tunnel, and she even heard fans shouting at her from the stands above the players' tunnel, "Showyourtits, love!!" (Reveal your Mimi, dear)"

She had to admit that she was disgusted when she heard the words. But she never looked back, and she was certainly not interested in knowing what kind of person had said such a thing. To her, she was just a nobody.

When Patrick shook hands with Andre Gray, the other party's hand was very strong, and he was certainly not polite. The man's scar is particularly conspicuous up close.

The two best players in the Championship this season looked at each other for half a second, with the younger one crooked his mouth first. In Patrick's eyes, this man was not worthy of being his opponent.

Andre Gray nodded his chin, his eyes following the boy after he left him. He snatched his Player of the Season and beat his team in the last meeting. But in this game, he wants to let him know what he is capable of.

At the end of the pick, Bourne's interest rate tees off first.

The game lasted ten minutes, and the fans felt the intensity of the game. Both teams were involved in the game as fast as they could, and the transition between attack and defense was extremely fast in the past 10 minutes, and if it was in the half 30 seconds ago, the other side was threatened again in the penalty area 30 seconds later.

It's very enjoyable, but it makes people's nervous palms sweat.

Lu Yungui stared at QPR43 Patrick Amber on the field. How did he think that the kid who lived next door would become such a great player? Although he watched every QPR TV game, Lu Yungui, who was also a player, was particularly dumbfounded when he actually saw a series of actions by Patrick on the court.

He knows very well that it is the talent and ability to become a superstar. And these things, he never had in him.

In fact, Lu Yungui was a little envious of the boy. He hadn't touched a football in a long time, no, many, many years.

He was in a trance, and he didn't know what was going on.

The next second, as he looked out onto the pitch, Burnley had their first corner of the game.

Burnley midfielder Anfield Afield went for the corner.

Nicholas had highlighted two centre-backs, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Nedham Onuoha, that Burnley were a team that were very good at attacking set-pieces, with two strikers, Sam Vokes and Andre Gray, who were tall and strong, and Andre Gray, who was quick and agile. Nicholas sent the quicker Mensah to follow Andre Gray and captain Nedham to deal with Sam Vokes.

Mensah took one look at Burnley's top scorer and was confident he wasn't slower than him in speed and reflexes, and he wasn't at all intimidated by aerial scrambles.

The moment Arfield was ready to take a corner, Andre Gray started to move, he swayed and then sprinted in a quick arc from the back to the front. Mensah hurriedly followed, but this ball Andre Gray very cleverly used the body cover of teammate Vox, and Mensah was caught off guard and crashed directly into Vokes.

This kind of "pick-and-roll" tactic in basketball is the best way to crack man-to-man defense in football set-pieces, and Shaun Dyche clearly knows a lot about it. It's also an area that many of England's homegrown managers are particularly keen to study.

Lu Ling's heart was cold the moment he saw Mensa bump into Vox. This is tantamount to a complete emptying of Andre Gray.

Andre Gray's body jumps into the air like a spring, and the lion shakes its head!

QPR's goalkeeper Robert Green simply didn't have time to react.

Burnley are 1-0 up at home!

In this decisive battle that decided whether to escalate directly or not, Burnley took the lead.

After the goal, Andre Gray rushed to the sideline and threw himself into Sean Dyche's arms. They had a great time working together this season, with "Red-Haired Mourinho" activating the Scarface Boy's firepower.

And Sean Dyche was also very excited at this time, in the previous duel, he was privately ridiculed by many old guys and lost to a woman. His new set-piece tactics that had been carefully set up before the game finally paid off.

And the next scene stunned everyone.

Andre Gray broke free from the head coach's arms, then turned to the QPR dugout, raised his right hand and made a throat-slitting motion.

His eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at the assistant coach of QPR!

His action made the already high/high tide Burnley fans even more crazy, and the away fan zone was suddenly scolded. Lu Yungui muttered a long list in Chinese, all of which were classic national curses.

So far in this game, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.

Nicholas swept the scene with his peripheral vision, frowning, and then smiling contemptuously. He unbuttoned his suit and waved his arms loudly to cheer at the players who were still a little depressed by the loss of the goal.

Sky Sports commentator Bill Leslie and his partner Andy Kimchi Cliff said: "It seems that Gray has a lot of resentment about losing to his old man at Brentford. ”

Andy Kimchi Cliff also knew that Christine and Andre had worked together briefly, so he quickly continued, "I understand Gray's mood very well, but I feel a little tasteless about this action." ”

And the camera swept over the assistant coach of QPR, who turned her head with a calm face, directly ignoring Andre Gray's provocation.

However, Lu Ling did remember what Andre said after the match she commanded on the spot, and it seemed that this game still had the meaning of revenge for him. But she won't let Burnley get away with it, and it's too early for the game to end.

Andre Gray finished celebrating and ran past Patrick and said something with bared teeth.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Christine, I'm curious what the relationship is, Cannon/Friend?"
