Away to Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers lost. After that, there was only one draw at home to Charlton Athletic. Only one point was picked up in two games. Middlesbrough won two in a row, slightly shook off a little opponent, and regained the top. Burnley, on the other hand, won one and lost one to push QPR into third place.

With the 41st round of the Championship played, the odds of the betting companies have also changed dramatically, with the favourites Queens Park Rangers rising to win the title two weeks ago (and their odds of winning the title have decreased).

When Lu Yungui studied these at William Hill's betting shop, it was just an interest, and he hadn't bought a ball for a long time. The young man at the betting shop knew him, and just now he asked him why he didn't buy it recently, and he smiled innocently and didn't speak. Actually, his hands were itchy, but eventually he shook his head and walked out of the store.

He picked up a free newspaper before entering the subway. In the past few months, he has been following his daughter's team and has been browsing the Championship news every day. In fact, it was the greatest joy of his life. It would be nice to go to QPR's home stadium to watch the game, he thought as he flipped through the newspaper. Xiao Ling had never invited him, and he was a little worried, but it should be fine to go and watch one secretly. He made up his mind, and went back to see if he could still buy tickets on the official website, and it didn't matter if he couldn't, scalper tickets might be able to get them.

He pondered and began to read the newspaper. His vocabulary has increased dramatically in the past few months, and he can basically understand it without looking up a dictionary.

The title goes like this:

Amber's injuries took away Flores' magic

Amber-sInjuryTakesAwayFlores-Magic

Lu Yungui continued to look down, and in the first line, the reporter wrote:

"The QPR status has hit a bottleneck in recent weeks. The team is struggling with Amber's injury and now it seems that the promotion hopes are not so rosy. ”

The middle-aged man frowned, eagerly looking down to see if there was anything about Xiao Ling.

"There have been recent rumours that there have been problems in the QPR's locker room, which may have stemmed from what former assistant coach Gary Cole said in a previous radio interview, in which Gary mentioned Flores' relationship with assistant coach Lu, which sparked a lot of controversy and speculation. ”

Seeing this, Lu Yungui shouted "I cǎo" in Chinese, and the person sitting next to him was startled, and he quickly apologized. I made up my mind that I must go to the home stadium to support my daughter once this season.

For more than a week, there was a fog at the Harrington training base. It was getting quieter and quieter in the locker room, and no one wanted to say a word more. Nicholas barely smiled, and his training sessions were unprecedentedly strict and intense.

James was jogging around the field. He looked at the two on the sidelines of the training ground playfully, and felt more and more that the relationship between the head coach and the female assistant coach was ambiguous. Oh, not at all, he was sure that this was the truth. No wonder Flores hired her. He said, how can such a young woman be an assistant coach in a Championship club.

"James, be focused!" Lu Ling shouted at him.

James didn't take the female assistant to heart at all, and he smiled and said, "Oh, coach, can you see me? I thought you could only see the boss." ”

This sentence was heard directly by Nicholas. He stopped training and strode towards the English man.

"James, do you have any questions?" said the Spaniard, with a high pitch and a grim countenance.

James smacked his lips, first glanced at the assistant coach, then looked back at the head coach, and said, "No, boss." I just think it's disappointing to get one point in two games. You know, three rounds ago, we were still at the top of the table. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several players nodded their heads and echoed a few words at random. Nicholas glanced at it, and there was Captain Nedham in it.

These words simply don't take the turn of a substitute left-back. James relied on his position in the locker room to question his team's achievements.

Nicholas stared at the few people who spoke in turn, and sneered, "Just because I didn't scold you doesn't mean I'm satisfied with your appearance." James, I haven't settled the account with you for the game against Middlesbrough, you provoked your teammates before the game, are you not rational at all?"

When James heard this, he glanced back, and finally his gaze was fixed on Ian. It must be the secret raised by this little bitch. Ian changed his normal behavior and glared back, not at all like the cowardice when he was bullied by Zixiang.

"James Patton!" Nicholas called his full name.

James looked back and held his chin high, "Boss, I may have said something I shouldn't have said, but you may have done something you shouldn't." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the beautiful young female teaching assistant. What he meant couldn't be more obvious.

Nicholas also glanced at Christine beside her, oh, she was pale, young after all.

The Spaniard stared at the substitute left-back who challenged him, and suddenly smiled, a little gloomy, and James actually panicked in his heart.

"My relationship with Christine is not your turn. Christine's ability is there for all to see, please respect your assistant coach. If you believe Gary's shit, show proof. Otherwise, your suspicions are messing with the dressing room. I don't think you're stupid enough to see the psychological warfare of the Burnley assistant coach. Nicholas paused at this point, glanced at the captain, and the rest of the words were no longer addressed to James alone.

He said: "We beat Burnley in the penultimate round, do you remember?"

"Yes, boss. ”

Lu Ling was a little surprised, this voice came from Ian's mouth.

"Very good, resume training. The Spaniard nodded at Ian, who remembered something and glared at James disdainfully, "You go and stay in the reserves." ”

James's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth twitched, he was in his thirties, this guy actually let him go to the reserves? In the end, James had no choice but to go to another venue in a rage.

After this episode, Lu Ling found that the training atmosphere was strangely developing in a positive direction little by little. She turned her head to look at the Spaniard, who, as he had said, was still in the locker room.

His magic didn't go away.

****

After the pre-match press conference in the afternoon, Nicholas left Harrington early in a rare move. Lu Ling was stunned when he caught a glimpse of him in his office when he changed into a high-end suit and passed by. She had never seen him leave work before she left. She looked at the time again, and it wasn't even five o'clock. Curious, it wasn't for her to ask.

Tomorrow's game away to Badif is crucial. Yesterday and today's training sessions have been repeated with the Spaniard's new style of play, and the starting line-up has been given in advance, which will be another gamble for the boss.

Pat's absence has indeed greatly reduced the strength of the QPR, and the morale has also dropped. But it was clear that Mr Flores didn't want anyone to think that he had relied on this homegrown England talent to bring the team to such a feat. Tomorrow will be a good test.

Lu Ling left Harrington at eight o'clock. Because it was still early, I was going to go to Patter's house. The boy has been recuperating for almost two weeks and should be able to resume training soon.

In April, the days in London are getting longer, and it is only then completely dark.

Lu Ling made a phone call in the car to confirm that Pat was home. As she passed by the M&S supermarket, she stopped and went in to buy something. Low-fat milk, chicken breast, bread, tomatoes, low-fat cheese, low-fat mayonnaise, eggs. She didn't know much to cook, and somehow remembered Mr. Flores' steak, so she swallowed, the man was probably even better at cooking than he could teach. When she checked out, she was actually recognized, although it was not the first time, she was still a little surprised.

Patrick's foot is fine, he went to Harrington the other day, and the team doctor and strength and conditioning coach said he would be back in two or three days. When the doorbell rang, he was doing sit-ups at home. He jumped up from the ground, his white T-shirt soaking wet.

He opened the door, and Christine was standing in the doorway with a green bag.

She was wearing blue jeans, a black hoodie, her hair was almost up to her shoulders, her dark circles were a little heavy, her skin looked smooth, her chin was slightly upturned, and she looked a little playful, like a college girl. Not at all like a twenty-seven-year-old assistant coach.

The boy couldn't help but smile as he touched his nose.

Lu Ling didn't know what he was laughing at, a little inexplicable, "What's wrong?"

"Tina, you look about my age. ”

"Please, you were eleven when I was your age. She thought Pat's words were a little funny.

Once inside, she put the bag on the kitchen counter and said to the boy behind her, "Why are you sweating so much?"

Patrick sniffed his T-shirt, "Nothing, just a casual move." ”

"Be careful not to get hurt. Sandwiches at night?" the woman shouted from the kitchen.

"Okay, Tina, I'll go to the shower first. ”

Lu Ling looked at Patter's back, he took off his T-shirt as he walked, and threw it on the floor casually.

She shook her head, a smile on her lips. Originally, she was not in a good mood today, and although James's matter was resolved, it was still annoying. Speaking of which, she hasn't been in a good mood for the past two weeks, but every time she comes to Patter's house, it's easy for her to forget about those troubles.

What a ray of sunshine.

When the sandwich was ready, the boy came out in clean clothes. His pale blonde hair was still a little wet, and he was wearing ripped jeans and a white T-shirt, barefoot.

Lu Ling's gaze fell on his right ankle, and the bandage had been removed.

Patrick raised an eyebrow, "I'll go back to Harrington tomorrow to train." Then he sat down at the table.

He first frowned at the food on the plate, but still picked it up and took a bite, his expression was a little struggling, and then he didn't give the woman face at all, "Tina, it's so unpalatable." ”

"Then you don't want to eat it. Lu Ling was about to snatch the sandwich in his hand.

Patrick quickly took two large bites, muttering as he ate, "I didn't say I wouldn't eat it." But seriously, Tina, you might as well buy a ready-made one directly at M&S. ”

After Lu Ling took a bite of it, he depressedly agreed with the boy's words, he should indeed buy ready-made.

As she was about to get home, Pat received a phone call. It sounds like it's either Zixiang or Ian calling. Something funny seems to be happening, and Pat keeps glancing at her when he listens to the phone.

When the boy finally hung up the phone, she was already standing at the door, but she still asked casually, "I guess it's Zixiang, what kind of gossip does he have?"

Patrick didn't answer, but walked over to her, a strange expression on his face. He handed her her her phone.

When Lu Ling saw the photo, he was stunned. Soon, she realized her gaffe and hurriedly said, "What's so strange about this, the boss also has his own private life." ”

Patrick glanced at the picture again. Flores was photographed with a sexy Spanish girl, according to Zixiang, a famous Spanish lingerie model, at a dinner in the West End a few hours ago. In the photo, the man is holding the woman's waist, which is very intimate.

It's really not a big deal. When Patrick looked up, he noticed that Christine was still a little distracted, and he asked quietly, "Tina, is this picture uncomfortable for you?"

Lu Ling smiled and shook his head, "Absolutely not." It's time for me to go back. Hopefully we can win tomorrow. Don't forget to go to Harrington to find Carl to recover, you know, Carl has always disliked people who are late. What's more, by the way, we're only one point away from Burnley, it's unlikely that they'll win all, the initiative is still in our hands, and you're sure to be able to catch up with Burnley......"

"Christine. The boy interrupted her abruptly, a little loudly.

The woman looked over, and there was actually some loss in her black eyes.

Patrick looked away, "Juststop."

For a moment, Lu Ling felt embarrassed and embarrassed, she hurriedly said goodbye and left the boy's house as if she was running away.
