In the first round of Group B of Euro 2016 in France, England played against Russia, and Patrick Amber replaced Danny Welbeck as a substitute in the 78th minute. Patrick hugged the Arsenal striker, touched the turf and ran onto the pitch.

England's jersey for this tournament is very designed, the main color is still white, but the sleeves are light blue, and the red socks are even more distinctive.

This is the first time in a long time that Lu Ling has watched Patrick's live race at this distance. Maybe it's because we don't think we see each other often, or maybe it's because the distance before is too close, it turns out that standing in this position and looking at Pat, he already looks like a man. In the past six months, he has grown taller and stronger. Standing on the stage of the European Championship now, I will stand on the stage of the World Cup in the future.

Christine's chin was high, and Nicholas could tell she was proud.

On the pitch, England and Russia played a stalemate.

Finally, in the 82nd minute, Patrick Amber touched the ball for the first time since coming on and it was on his familiar right flank.

The boy took on Russian left-back Zhirkov at great speed. He suddenly threw the ball behind his opponent and the ball rolled a little far.

Lu Ling thought for a moment that Pat was nervous, but immediately found out that it was not. Pat swept past Zhirkov like a gust of wind and the former Chelsea defender didn't even make a foul move. It was his first pass at the European Championships, and it was done in such a simple and crude way.

Patrick then used his own not-so-smooth right foot to deliver a cross that Rooney was a little worse in the middle and couldn't catch up.

Nicholas scoffed, "This time it's very British, taking advantage of the speed to eat it raw." ”

Lu Ling glanced at him, he came to see the England game, these must be indispensable. But, in that case, why did he come to see it? Anyway, Patrick knew enough. Russia doesn't have any players for the team, and England doesn't have the right players for the current QPR.

Next, Patrick-Amber got to work.

Abrupt start and change direction after the left and right buckles. Zhirkov was dazed. Shirokov, who came up from the defense, came over to put a tackle and was directly picked by the boy, and then Ross Barkley got the ball and fired a long-range shot that grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds.

Nicholas's eyes moved, and Ross Barkley had a good kick.

England fans were ignited by these attacks and made a huge noise.

In the 88th minute, Patrick took the initiative to switch to the left side to cooperate with his teammates, and after taking to the middle, he faced the opponent's central defender Berezutsky who was rushing up with the outside of his left foot, and the opponent was caught off guard and swept him down.

Kick.

Towards the end of the game, Patrick Amber took a free-kick from a great position in front of the box.

Captain Wayne Rooney stood in front of the ball and curled a shot over the wall that was saved by the goalkeeper.

But Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge followed up with a follow-up shot and the goal went in!

England lore Russia!

Lu Ling jumped up from his seat, like all the fans in the field who supported England.

She looked over to the corner flag area, where Pat was hugging his national team teammates. The boy was very excited, and Lu Ling rarely saw him so excited. Rooney put his arms around his neck, not knowing what was said in his ear, and he smiled even more heartily.

When the final whistle blew, the cheers of the England fans were overwhelming.

The boy joined many of his teammates in clapping the fans with his hands above his head. They walked to the stands on Lu Ling's side.

Lu Ling stood up and waved excitedly at Patrick. When they met, the boy's expression was a little strange, but he soon smiled at her.

His smile also drew an exclamation from female fans.

****

"Oh, what's the name of that pretty boy who came off the bench, Amber?"

"God, he's a great kicker, and he's so handsome......"

……

Lu Ling heard a lot of conversations like this when he left the stage. Of course, there are many languages she doesn't understand that also have the word "Amber" in them. He'll be touted to the sky tomorrow by the English press, and the sports media all over the world will cover the match, and they'll all praise him for his performance today. His name will be mentioned by more people.

"Thinking of sending Trek?" asked Nicholas.

"Yes, although I always knew that he would not disappoint me, I was pleasantly surprised every time I saw his watch. ”

Nicholas nodded, he felt the same way. England's game wasn't pretty, but Patrick's watch was remarkable. Actually, he didn't tell his assistant, he had a few other players to watch.

When they returned to the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock. Sophia was sitting on the couch in the hotel lobby and was talking to a man**.

Lu Ling was really surprised this time, but Nicholas beside him had a very calm face. She couldn't help but ask, "What is your relationship?"

"Friendswithbenefits."

Lu Ling flattened his mouth, "I'll go back to the room first." ”

"I'll go back too. Nicholas said and nodded at Sophia in the distance, turning to the elevator.

It was quiet inside the elevator, only the sound of two people breathing. When I pressed the button, I realized that the two were on the same floor. Coming out of the elevator, Lu Ling walked to the right, but Nicholas did not move. He paused and asked behind her, "So, you're not going to keep your promise?"

Lu Ling turned around and said, "You said I could refuse you." ”

The girl's face was like a summer day in Marseille, clear and moving, and her slightly furrowed brow was like a little wind and wave in the Mediterranean. Nicholas looked at her and said quietly, "I'll go to Nice tomorrow." Then he turned and walked in the opposite direction to the girl. His voice and back were not very happy.

****

Patrick sat by the window on the bus, headphones on, looking out the window, his left hand propped up on the window, his right hand constantly spinning his phone. The fans outside the window were still cheering, and they seemed to support England. Tonight's Marseille will probably be late in the night.

Almost everyone in the dressing room came over to praise him after the game, and Hodgson didn't hesitate to praise him. Jack and Lucy said they watched the live TV and sent a message as soon as the game was over. There are also Anna, Ian, and Zixiang. As well as many other friends, he also congratulated him on his European Cup debut.

Ross Barkley snorted, and Patrick turned his head and opened his eyes. Rose snorted at him, and Patrick took off his headphones.

"Why do you look a little ...... Depressed?"

Depressed?Patrick felt that he was in a good mood.

"No, it's just a little sleepy. ”

Rose nodded. Patrick was just about to put on his headphones when he added, "Christine is beautiful. ”

Patrick didn't expect Rose to suddenly mention Tina, he shrugged slightly, and didn't answer.

"I'm curious......"

"What?"

"Does she have a boyfriend?"

"Don't you have a girlfriend?!"

"Yes. Don't get me wrong, I mean, don't you have any players on your team pursuing her? Just curious. ”

Patrick laughed, if someone on the team did do something stupid, Tina would probably bloody the scolding of that person.

"I don't think she's going to have a boyfriend with a player. ”

Ross Barkley snorted, then said, "You don't stand a chance. The expression was a little teasing.

Patrick froze, and the phone in his hand vibrate. He looked down and saw that it was Tina. When he connected, he switched to FaceTime.

Lu Ling clicked to accept, and the video screen over there was quickly transmitted. It looks like it's on a bus. She had just finished greeting Pat when a figure burst into the screen. It's Ross Barkley. He beckoned to her without smiling, "Hi, Christine." As soon as he finished speaking, his head was pushed off the screen by Pat. Lu Ling said, "Hi Rose", but didn't see Rose's face again.

"Back to the hotel?"

"Yes, just came back. Pat, you're doing great today!"

"Thanks, Tina. The boy lay in his seat, the corners of his mouth bent. Ross Barkley glanced at him, and Patrick's mood was suddenly different.

"What the hell did Rooney tell you?"

'He said he would pass me the ball when he had the chance. Patrick said and glanced at Wayne Rooney in the seat in front of him, who seemed to be on the phone with his family.

"If Wayne Rooney assists you in the goal, I think we're going to go crazy. ”

The boy raised an eyebrow, did he score?

He asked something else, "What are the arrangements after that?"

The Spaniard's words entered Lu Ling's mind, and she thought, "Maybe go to Nice." Maybe not, haven't decided yet. ”

Patrick looked at Tina on the phone screen, she was lying on the bed, her chin in one hand, presumably holding the phone in the other. The neckline is a little low, and a thin silver necklace hangs around the neck. His gaze first fell on her dangling necklace, and soon turned to her eyes. At this time, the phone prompts that the battery is low.

"Tina, I'm running out of power. ”

"Let's talk about it later. ”

"The OK necklace is beautiful. ”

Lu Ling lowered his head and looked at his necklace, is it very good-looking?

"Thank you. Good night, Pat. ”

"Good night, Tina. As soon as he finished speaking, the other end hung up.

Ross Barkley tilted his head, a little surprised, "Why does Christine talk like a college girl?

"No, she's not what you think. "She's doing this because she's in front of me.

Patrick put his headphones back on and looked out the window. Little by little, last night's dreams flooded into his mind, and he closed his eyes, the necklace was still dangling.

Sophia was a little disgusted. She only drank two glasses of red wine, but then she was a little dizzy with the French man**. When Nick and Christine walked over, she wanted to end the episode, which had just started to pass the time. But Nick seemed to want to be alone with Christine for a little longer, and she didn't go over.

Now that ten minutes had passed, she thought it would be better for her to go back to her room. So she turned down the man's offer and walked to the elevator. The Frenchman was still confused, and this unbelievable lady had just deliberately gone back to his room with him.

Coming out of the elevator, Sophia still didn't feel well. Walking to the door of the room, she was going to pull out the key card directly, but after thinking about it, she knocked on the door.

Soon, Nick opened the door wrapped in a bath towel. The man had just finished taking a shower and was looking very good. Sophia has watched it countless times, and she is still so amazed.

"So fast. Nicholas chuckled.

Sophia closed the door and said, "Oh, Nick, come on, you know you're here, and I'm not going to throw my arms on any other man." ”

Then, she heard Nick say arrogantly, "Indeed. ”

Later, Sophia went to the bathroom. It took a long time to come out. Nicholas looked up from his computer screen, reading emails from scouts and agents.

Sophie has changed into black sexy lingerie. Now twisting his waist and coming at him.

Nicholas then closed the notebook, stood up, pulled the woman into his arms, kissed her neck, and stroked her.

Sophia let out a slight sigh, enjoying Nick's touch. But she noticed that touching her hand was becoming sluggish, and Nick seemed to hesitate about something.

She pushed him away and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

And the expression on Nick's face showed that he himself was also a little surprised, he frowned and did not speak.

Sophia was shocked and guessed, "You've got that girl all in your head?"

Nick was silent for a moment, perhaps thinking about it, looking a little agitated.

Finally he said, "I'm sorry, Sophie. ”

Sophia took a deep breath, she was a little lost, not angry. Her relationship with Nick is very loose and never binds each other, both physically and emotionally.

"You weren't so affectionate in April, and you were crazy that night. ”

Nicholas remained silent, his expression a little self-deprecating. At that time, he escalated and stressed, and sex/love was indeed a good way to relieve stress. And Sophie's appearance also made his relationship with Christine less of a public concern.

Sophia sighed slightly, wrapped her coat, and covered her beautiful body.

"Nick, you know, this Shakespearean style isn't for you. I prefer Nick, the popular lover. ”

"I'm going to book another room. Good night. After Nicholas finished speaking, he kissed Sophia on the face and was about to leave.

"Nick, wait a minute. Sophia shouted.

Nicholas stood in the doorway and looked back, Sophia looked at him, as if she had something very important to say, but finally she pursed her lower lip and shook her head with a smile, "It's okay, let's get back to it." ”
