Benjamin is probably the most complicated player Patrick has ever seen. Moreover, his complex side will be directly presented in front of people. Obviously, the last thing this handsome rich boy wants is for others to see him as a "stupid rich bastard boy". Although, Benjamin will try to make himself appear less concerned about all this in his words and expressions.

Actually, at this point, Patrick has some resonance. After all, the last thing he wanted to be misunderstood when he was young was that he was a "shallow golden □□ boy". Or maybe he just didn't want her to feel that way.

In short, the stereotypes are fucked up.

But as long as you have a little contact with Benjamin Hamilton, you won't think he's stupid. Bastard? That's possible. Patrick believes that Benjamin will even give you a classic passage from Shakespeare on your back if necessary, and then talk about it, and after that, he will probably talk to you about The Wealth of Nations.

Such a person playing football will inevitably apply his usual way of thinking.

Yesterday, Patrick clearly saw in the stands that Benjamin will make the most of his body when the opponent tries to press, so that he has a better chance of getting rid of it, and at worst, he can deliberately create a foul to keep the ball. Tina is putting more and more emphasis on the overall control of the team, and one Ian is not enough, so she brought in Benjamin.

Suddenly, the speed of the car increased, and the wind became stronger. Patrick looked at the vast expanse of green space in the distance and remembered the moment.

Throughout the game, Benjamin was trying to figure out how to take advantage of the gaps behind Seri and Weigel. On that occasion, Benjamin first signaled Genk on the right to run inside, and then instead passed the ball to the left rib and gave it to the striker Leon who retreated on the other side. Both men made plenty of support runs and didn't look like they were loose against PSG at all.

By the time Weigl ran towards León, the Uruguayan had already turned around and fed the ball to Genk laterally, leaving Arsenal's midfield line completely breached, and they didn't have enough physicality to get back into position quickly.

Phil used his body to carry Mustafi hard, which was his task, to harass the weaker one in the opposition's backline.

Genk then dribbled straight to the goal and fired a powerful left-footed shot into the net to help QPR score the first goal.

"Do you think that if one of Serry and Weigel is penetrated, we can easily create an opportunity?" asked Patrick with his eyes back. The wind took away his volume, but Benjamin should have heard it.

"Yes, the boss specially instructed me, and I thought so too. Of course, if you're on the field, you don't have to think about it. Because you can always break through the middle of the road all the way through. Benjamin held the steering wheel with one hand and the frame of his sunglasses with the other, complimenting Patrick. "Leon is good at turning on the spot and getting away from short distances, and Genk can attack, but his thinking is too simple and direct, and he has to have space in the middle to take it up. She said my job was to get the two of them in the middle so they could play to their strengths. Tried about three times...... Luckily, it was an early goal. And he said he was as humble as ever.

Patrick chuckled, briefly. His idea at this moment may be a bit absurd. He thought that Benjamin Hamilton was just a twenty-year-old hairy kid, and that Benjamin Hamilton was a Kristen Lue player, otherwise, maybe he really had to worry about something. "And you don't have to worry about your opponent's counterattack. Patrick glanced at the driver, and the smile grew wider. "Ian will be stuck in the middle behind you, and Gonzalo on the left is ready to protect the middle, so you can be as bold as you can. "That's obviously her tactic.

"That's right, Pat, and lo and behold, we all know what the boss wants. Benjamin glanced at the co-pilot again and said with a smile. "We're almost there. By the way, have you had breakfast?"

****

Patrick's original intention of giving the horse to his beloved girl was not only to see pictures of her riding a horse when she was a child, but also for another reason, he felt that it was very much like her, free. Of course, after being tamed, it is not so much like it. He would have liked to send her a jaguar, but it might be strange that the rich people of the Middle East would be more happy to do so. Moreover, such a beautiful and wild animal should never be kept as a pet.

Patrick later pondered the underlying reason for their Christmas quarrel that year—because he wanted her to do something for him. That wasn't fair to her, at least, she hadn't tried to change him. He got out of Benjamin's car, and not far away a mounted police officer proudly crossed the road. By the way, Luca has sleek and sexy lines. Is this a common denominator? The corners of his mouth curled, and many fashion magazines had analyzed how graceful her lines were.

The Royal Ascot Racecourse is in Berkshire, and it took them about fifty minutes to drive from Surrey. Naturally, the famous Hamilton family has a box here.

The British Champions Raceday in October is nothing compared to the Royal Ascot Raceday in June. However, still, it is crowded with people and lively.

Luca did not participate. Patrick knew from Amy that Tina wanted him to get some rest recently, and that the summer was a good day and there were plenty of competitions, and Luka had already competed in quite a few events this year.

So, Patrick didn't have anything special to support today. Moreover, horse racing, a sport in which he has a weak sense of participation, is not very interested in it in the first place. He wanted the Mr. Hamilton next time to ask him to watch boxing, golf or something like that, or F1. Especially in F1, in that case, Patrick could tease this Mr. Hamilton and "that Mr. Hamilton". (F1 driver, two-time champion, Louis Hamilton)

After a lot of social activities, Patrick was finally able to drink a glass of champagne in the private room. Outside the window, the sun and the verdant grass of the horse farm reflect a beautiful day. When he turned around, Benjamin came in with a pile of food himself.

"I'm hungry. Benjamin said, putting the tray down, "I had too little for breakfast. In short, I get hungry easily. ”

Patrick said, Actually, I'm hungry too. As he spoke, he took a small croissant from a pile of food and stuffed it into his mouth. The aroma of butter fills the tongue. He suddenly remembered something, wiped his mouth with a tissue, took a sip of champagne, and asked Benjamin, "What do you think of Tim?"

Benjamin didn't answer right away this time, he just pursed his lips and grinned, pointing to his mouth again, meaning that he was chewing food.

Benjamin remembered that the day after he lost to PSG, he wanted to go to the video room for a while before leaving Harrington. Until then, he was going to go to the manager. He's been going to see her lately, if there's something or nothing. He didn't know what his teammates thought of this, and he didn't seem to react anyway except that Phil called him "sycophant" a few times in front of him.

As for her attitude...... Benjamin found it difficult to decipher.

He could talk about literature with a girl who was studying art at Cambridge, or talk to a girl he bumped into at a family reunion about the latest trends in the Conservative Party, or talk to the girl on the third page of The Sun about her boobs — he was curious about what silicone felt in his body. In short, he was exposed to a wide variety of women from a very early age. They seldom rejected him, and even if they did, it seemed to him a loss to the girls. More girls like you, or even better than you, are waiting for me. He will always have a lot of options. Yes, a lot of options.

Technically, though, he never asked her out. So, at least, he hasn't been rejected yet.

The door to the manager's office was always open, but it was closed that day. He stood in the doorway of her office and heard the sound of conversation coming from inside. The education he received from an early age and some of the basic requirements he had made of himself reminded him that he should leave immediately. He did go outside, but he walked slowly.

“…… Tim, I see what you mean, but it's our shared responsibility. ”

"You...... You smell danger, but I feel like a stupid donkey, thinking it's just a good locker room atmosphere. ”

"Actually, it was bad luck that day, after all, the injuries of Pat and Timothy were accidents. …… Are you more angry with yourself?"

“…… Be. ”

"It's over, Tim. How did it feel to lose your temper in the dressing room for the first time? I'm sure it was great. The role played a ...... The players are used to my voice, so maybe it's good to make some substitutions once in a while. ”

Benjamin then heard her laughter and the teaching assistant's, but the latter's laughter was a bit restrained. They should have ended their conversation, so Benjamin quickened his pace.

Yes, Tim Luiz's fiery did work.

This was particularly evident in yesterday's second goal.

In the 65th minute or so, when the most mentally tired people, the whole team suddenly launched a siege in the front court and cut off the ball from Arsenal at the back. In the end, it was scored by Phil.

"Tim was nice. Benjamin swallowed his food and took a sip of orange juice, "I'll add some vitamin C first, and I'll have a glass of champagne later." He saw Patrick's look of please, and he continued, "Oh, I mean the last few days of training have been just as good as yesterday's. Didn't the owner say the same in the post-match press conference, saying that she was very happy with the current state of the team and that the players knew what to do after the loss. I think she's telling the truth, not perfunctory media or locker room politics. Although the intensity of these days has been very high, everyone seems to be very focused. It's a pity that you and Timothy didn't see Leon rushing into the gym early, and Phil even stayed to practice-"

"That's pretty good. "These Patricks had actually heard about it from Ian. "It's just that Timothy's condition is so bad, I went to the hospital to see him and felt sorry for him. "Mensah suffered a severe cruciate ligament tear.

"I'm sorry too...... It's likely that it won't come back this season. But JT played well that day. Benjamin said.

Patrick kept looking Benjamin in the eye, and there was indeed sympathy in his grey eyes when he said regret, but it was a blink of an eye, and he quickly cut to what he was really interested in.

As soon as the news of Mensah's serious injury broke, there were calls on social media for the reuse of JT – and fans naturally wanted to see their academy players take advantage of the opportunity to play more. The game against Arsenal went smoothly afterwards, and not only did JT have no problems, but it was his header from the corner kick in the second half that helped Leon at the back post to score the third goal of the game, and it was also the goal that sealed the victory.

Benjamin also looked into Patrick's eyes, he was three years older than him, and Benjamin suddenly felt that if he faced a twenty-year-old Patrick, things might be much easier. He quietly turned his gaze away and continued his previous words, "It's just that in this way, it will be difficult for the boss to play three central defenders." You know, Timothy and JT and Glenn, put together a great combination. There will be some other interesting changes, like ...... Dominoes. ”

Patrick shrugged noncommittally. What Benjamin didn't say was that there were only two authentic centre-backs left in the squad, JT and Glenn, and Sadio Babacar and Pyotr Shmanovski, although both could play in that position, were not necessarily reliable. If anyone gets injured again, Ian may have to play at centre-back, while Benjamin himself will have to play as a lone midfielder – meaning his defensive responsibilities will be heavier. He obviously didn't like this possibility, but he deliberately said it so easily.

"By the way, there's one thing you might find interesting. After Benjamin finished speaking, he realized that he had a lot of words today, but he didn't really care too much, and it was a pleasant thing to occasionally indulge in expressing **. What's more, it's unrealistic to expect Patrick to keep looking for topics to talk to him. "Jake kept telling me afterwards that he was actually frightened that day, and that he always thought that Mr. Louis would pick up a stool and hit someone's head at any moment. If Jake is freaked out, I don't think the rest of his teammates are even more important. You also saw what Phil looked like that day. ”

Patrick smiled, "Yes, it's scary for gentle people to have a temper tantrum. In fact, many teammates later used the word "psychopath", and Benjamin didn't say it. He then asked rhetorically, "But not you?"

"I didn't say that. Don't forget to play PSG's second goal, I do take responsibility. Benjamin thought that this was probably one of the most important reasons he liked talking to Patrick. Smart people make the game fun.

Patrick glanced at Benjamin, didn't answer him, and turned to look out the window. Benjamin's words don't hide his hypocrisy too much, he just doesn't be honest enough.

The stands at Ascot Racecourse are buzzing with the home atmosphere of a Premier League match.

Behind Patrick, Benjamin asked, "Want to make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"The first obstacle course. ”

"Your bet?"

"Let me think about it......" Benjamin thought with a frown.

Patrick suddenly turned around and said in a sure and cold tone, "I'm not going to bet anything with you about her, you know who I say she is." He smiled at his teammates, "I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much." ”

Then, Patrick saw that Benjamin's face and gaze changed, but it wasn't noticeable. And the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate. He took it out and looked at it, and said to Benjamin, "If you don't mind, I'll have to answer this call." He said as he pressed the answer button.

Benjamin nodded, still decent, still polite, still smiling, "Of course, I just went out to say hello to a few friends." Before he left the box, he heard Patrick behind him say affectionately on the phone, "Hey Tina, I'm thinking about you." 166 Reading Network
