The first question is a bit harsh, though simple.

"Christine, it's a shame, but I still want to ask, is there anything you want to say to Nick?"

Lu Ling sat behind the long table, and Josh sat beside her. She heard the question clearly, but she deliberately asked it again. The reporter repeated.

She nodded and looked at the reporter, "I want to congratulate him." He deserves it, Everton deserves it. I think they're celebrating their first Premier League title, so ......," she shrugged, "it doesn't really matter what I say. ”

"You just said Everton deserved it, what would you say about your past season?"

'I'm satisfied, the players are fantastic and as you know, we had a chance to get back to the top but for some reason we didn't do it. Of course, we can do better. And, next season, we will. Also, we finished second in the Premier League and next season we can play in the Champions League – for the first time in the history of our club – we will be on the highest stage of European football. I think it's a very celebratory and meaningful thing for me and for the team. ”

The reporter smiled and continued, "Did you open champagne in the locker room?"

"Yes, but just ordinary. I saved a few good bottles and hope to have a chance to open them. ”

The reporters at the scene let out a little laugh. Lu Ling tilted her head again, she did save a few bottles of good champagne, and she really hoped to have the opportunity to open them.

Then the question turned to some of the details of the game against Newcastle and then the issue of signings.

A reporter motioned to Josh for a long time that he wanted to ask a question. Finally, the microphone arrived at him.

"Hello Christine, Patrick Amber's loan at Barcelona is coming to an end, where is his future?"

The scene was full of sighs. It seems that many journalists want to ask this question, but they haven't had time to ask it yet.

"He's a player for QPR. The QPR coach looked directly at the reporter who asked the question and said indifferently.

'But he's playing for Barcelona now and he looks happy in La Liga, he's scored 14 league goals for Barcelona in half a season, which is a great statistic, and he's won the Copa del Rey and could well be La Liga in a week's time......

Lu Ling stared at the reporter and repeated what he had just said, "He is still a player of the QPR." Then she quietly rolled her eyes away and asked, "Any other questions?"

The scene was quiet for a while, and then another reporter held the microphone: "Will Leon Ferreira stay at the club?"

"He's also a player for QPR. Lu Ling said and shook his head with a smile, "Of course I would say that Ferreira's future is here." ”

Lu Ling got up after speaking, there were two reporters who wanted to ask questions, she didn't hear too clearly, Josh shook her head at her, her eyebrows moved slightly, she really wasn't ready to answer any more questions.

This season, there is only one last thing left to do, which is the end-of-season speech in the dressing room.

Before she left the press conference, she glanced back to see Everton's cup on the hanging TV. She bit her lower lip and spat out the word fuck as she withdrew her gaze.

It was probably the last thing she wanted to see all day, or did she see it.

****

While QPR's head coach was in the post-match press conference, Goodison Park was celebrating his victory.

It's not dark yet, in fact, it's going to be a long time before it is. Actually, Liverpool was a bit cold today. But at this moment, no one in this stadium should feel cold.

The world would not have guessed that the city's first Premier League title was not won by the more historic red team a mile away. Everton were the first to win.

So the fans in the stadium were singing:

l？

Are you watching, Liverpool?

l？

Are you watching, Liverpool?

The players were in the middle of the field, some were being interviewed, some were bouncing with their teammates, and even singing the song to the fans......

Nicholas stood near the touchline in a black suit, looking at the pitch and listening to the fans. Soon, the fans stopped singing songs that ridiculed Liverpool and began chanting his name.

Nick Flores!

Nick Flores!

Later, the whole audience simply shouted Nick!

Even, a lot of players and coaching staff members have joined in on this voice.

The Spaniard grinned, it felt okay. This is his third season as a manager in England, and he has won the highest trophy in English football.

He had a face in his head, he didn't really think of her at all, but that face still appeared.

Juan asked in his ear if tomorrow's League Coaches Association Awards were going?

Nicholas shook his head, "Whoever does it for me." ”

"But, Nick, you're going to be ...... this year."

"I know, but still, I don't want to go. And there's an in-club celebration party tomorrow night, and I'd love to be a part of that. In addition to that, there was another reason, he guessed that this time she would not go either. Last month, he told her that when he saw her next month, she didn't seem to be going, and now that she was going to see her, she probably wouldn't.

Nicholas took his hand out of his trouser pocket and immediately presented the award.

He thought that people would think he was serious when they saw his smile, but in fact, there was a little boy in his heart running along the somewhat old court.

The greenery and the blue sky, the wind was so strong, and the whole audience was shouting his name......

What could be more exciting than glory and dreams?

And that's just the beginning.

****

New Queen's Park home team dressing room.

The smell of champagne. This is the most familiar end-of-season flavor.

From May 2016, to May last year, to this May, this time of year, the locker room smells like this. That's definitely a good thing because it means three years in a row that the club has had good results. No one is going to open a champagne after a disappointing season.

Lu Ling put his hands in his pants pockets and looked at the group of boys in front of him who were almost naked. Perhaps they should be called men.

They had smiles on their faces, but some had a smile mixed with a little disappointment. If she laughed now, she thought, maybe she would too.

The coaching staff, including the team doctor, was behind her. The door to the locker room was closed, and the family members were already out.

There are dozens of people crowded into this space that was not so small at the moment, and it is a little stuffy, but the silence is terrifying.

She suddenly took her hand out of her pocket, and everyone was watching her every move.

"I'd better hurry, I'm not worried about your family cursing me outside, I'm mainly worried that we're going to suffocate here. ”

They laughed.

"It's been a great season! Thank you to each and every one of you, we wouldn't have been able to do this without the hard work of each and every one of you. I know we were very close to winning the championship and now it may be a bit disappointing, but the season is over. The league is like that, year after year, and I'm already thinking about next season now. ”

Lu Ling was slightly stunned when he said this. Someone said something similar two years ago.

The end of the season is the moment for the manager to mean that the new season has begun.

Years.

This may be a bit more boring than the average person thinks.

She laughed, she knew her smile was contagious, and she hoped there wasn't too much disappointment on her face.

"And a lot of you still have the World Cup to play. It's going to be a summer full of enthusiasm and exhaustion, and I wish you all the best of luck in Russia!"

Everyone applauded.

She thought about it and there was nothing more to say.

She turned around.

Half a second later, she turned her head and continued to smile: "''llbelikethis.' She made an exaggerated look of anger when she finished speaking.

“yeah,’mreallyseriousaboutt!” (Does it look like an emoji face?) yes, I think so too.) But I'm serious. Well, have a great summer everyone!)

She didn't look back after she finished speaking, and everyone was laughing.

That's not bad.

Tim followed Lu Ling out of the locker room, and they chatted with a few familiar players' family members at the door of the locker room, and then walked upstairs together.

Nathan Neal and Tony are still waiting for them.

"Hey, Christine. ”

Lu Ling looked at the teaching assistant suspiciously.

"Are you going to the League Coaches Association tomorrow night to present the awards?"

"Nope. ”

"You've been nominated again this year. ”

"It's all Nick's this year, I promise you. That's not why I don't go, though. I don't have time, tomorrow will be busy. I have to talk to a lot of coaches and players about leaving. Also, Alice will be going to Harrington tomorrow. To make sure I don't drag you back from Banus, you'd better be prepared to work for two weeks straight. ”

Tim shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly, "To keep my honeymoon vacation from being disturbed, boss, I'll do whatever you tell me to do." 166 Reading Network
