In May, the sky blue of London is clear. Since April, the weather in London has been getting better day by day, the temperature is still not high, and the wind is not light, but it is sunny for most of the week.

On the verdant turf of the Harrington training ground, Queens Park Rangers players practiced passing with ease.

'Patrick, you play centre-back, I want to score goals too. ”

"Pat, don't listen to him, Timothy won't shoot at all. ”

"Whoever asks for it, I'll take it!"

"Oh, **, could your pronunciation be any worse?"

"Zixiang, what's so great about being able to speak your native language, you can tell me a few words of Dutch......"

Lu Ling smiled and shook his head. Head coach Nicolas stood by her side and he looked in a good mood.

Tomorrow is the final round of the league and will also be the last time the QPR season will be played in front of the home fans at Loftus Road. They lost the last time they were in Bristol, but back at home was such a crucial game that QPR didn't want to waste the initiative to win a direct promotion.

The Spaniard is confident of taking all three points. The squad is more complete than ever, not to mention the form of the players. Although everyone is a little casual on the training ground now, this is what he acquiesces into.

Nicholas held his pocket in one hand, suddenly withdrew his gaze, and looked at the assistant beside him, "Patrick told you that you won't leave in the summer, will you?"

Lu Ling's eyes were still on the boys, and he nodded with a smile, "That's right." I think it was a wise decision. When Neymar was 18 years old and famous all over the world, he was in no hurry to leave Brazil. ”

"Yes. It seems that his agent wasn't stupid, but I always knew Patrick was a smart boy. Nicholas raised an eyebrow.

A gust of wind blew all the assistant's hair and hit her face scatteredly, and she hurriedly pulled her hair behind her ears with her hand, but it was soon blown again. After repeating it several times, she didn't bother to care, and shouted at the field: "You guys, be serious!"

Christine's profile is well-defined, but indescribably soft.

Nicholas pulled his hand out of his pocket, lifted it, and finally put it back in his pocket.

"If long hair isn't convenient, it's a good idea to cut it short. Or you should be like Bell and Ievee, and tie it up with a rubber band. ”

Lu Ling tilted his head and looked at the Spaniard, the expression on his face was a little playful, "I've been busy lately, I'll shave my head when the season is over." ”

Nicholas laughed, and the players all glanced over the side, not knowing what the assistant coach had said, to make the manager so happy.

"You must be kidding. ”

"Don't encourage me, Mr. Flores, you know I'll do it if I want to. ”

"Don't, I'm sure you're bald...... It's beautiful. But I'm afraid the media will say I'm driving you crazy. Oh, I'm innocent. ”

Lu Ling pursed his lips and didn't answer his words again, the tone that was becoming more and more like ** was not suitable for their identity. Besides, the other party is not single anymore.

Nicholas put away his smile and walked towards the training ground. The ball rolled right at his feet. The Spaniard hesitated, and then made a very unexpected move, he took off his coat and threw it to his assistant, crouched down and swung the ball.

All the players came over, as did the goalkeeper coach, the first-team coach and even the team doctor on the sidelines.

Lu Ling looked surprised.

Is he going to show off his footwork?

Nicholas's position is still a certain distance from the goal, 344 or 5 meters from the eye, and the position is a little off, it is not easy for this ball to be hoisted into the goal.

He took a few steps back and stared at the goal for a few seconds. Then he started running, and then he used the inside of his left foot to make a near-perfect arc.

The young Latin coach confidently looked at the direction in which the ball fell.

Mensah had already run to the goalkeeper's position, pushing Robert away to play with the boss. But in fact, he simply had no way to react.

The ball hangs straight into the corner on the right side of the goal.

The moment the ball went into the net, Nicholas turned around and winked at his assistant, "Notbad, huh"

Lu Ling opened his mouth and didn't react at all. Didn't he say that his foot hurts, and that it hurts on a rainy day?

A club employee happened to be on the sidelines of the training pitch and recorded the entire goal on his mobile phone. Several players gathered around and watched the goal again.

"Holy**, David Beckham's free-kick was nothing more than that. Yu Zixiang said exaggeratedly while watching.

Even James looked appreciative.

Patrick didn't make it up, the expression on his face was a little strange, but soon the boy was back to his nonchalant appearance.

"Okay, the next training intensity is going to be a notch. We're going to have a ten-minute training match, and whoever giggles and doesn't blame me for putting you on the bench tomorrow. Nicholas took the coat handed by his assistant and put it back on, and said loudly to the players.

The training atmosphere is getting tense and the Championship season will be revealed in less than 24 hours.

Queens Park Rangers, Middlesbrough and Burnley will have to play one of them in the promotion play-offs.

****

At half past twelve at noon on May 7, the final round of the Championship and twelve games started at the same time.

The Loftus Road Stadium was packed. The stadium, which can accommodate less than 20,000 people, has a lively atmosphere.

At the start of the season, fans were hopeful of a return to the Premier League, but after more than a dozen rounds, they were disappointed. When the young Spaniard took over, not many fans looked favorably on him. Maybe Nicholas was a talented player, maybe he had worked with a few famous coaches, but he didn't lead the team on his own. At that time, more fans thought that this outsider would eventually be fired halfway through. In addition, he later hired a female teaching assistant, which attracted a lot of suspicion and speculation.

I don't want to think that in the past half a year, QPR fans have been surprised one after another.

The joy of winning. Patrick's birth. And as the media said, the magical effect of Kristen Lu. All of them make this season a little bit legendary.

Oh, and of course, it would be perfect if you could be promoted directly to the Premier League in the final round.

Bristol City's standings this season have been fixed in the middle and lower reaches, and they have long been relegated, but there is no possibility of promotion. It's a team that doesn't want anything. Although Nicholas is confident, he will not be careless, and the key of this three-point will not be lower than that of Burnley.

As the midday sun shone on the stands and turf of Loftus Road, QPR fans created a festive atmosphere on the final home game day of the season, with blue and white flags flying and singing flying over the west London pitch.

Soon after the start of the game, the QPR players were in shape. Patrick and Yu Zixiang's alternating bombardment on both sides, and Gomis and Massimo pressing in the middle of the 30-meter area, made Bristol City's defense look like papier-mâché. In the 17th minute, Patrick assisted Massimo to open the scoring.

But the 1-0 score is clearly not safe enough.

The offensive of the QPR has not weakened in the slightest.

And for the fans, they are eager to expand the score and at the same time eager to see the performance of that genius boy.

Patrick did make a comeback at the start of the second half to get between the two on the flank and rush into the box, but unfortunately, a shot slammed into the outside of the post.

If Patrick's table this season is phenomenal, then Yu Zixiang's table is indeed inferior. But it's also good enough.

While the media is boiling with Patrick Amber, Zixiang's attention is also rising little by little.

In the 69th minute, after Yu Zixiang got the ball near the center circle on the left side, no one around came up to stop him, so he ran all the way to the penalty area. Bristol City's defence was in shambles, and for the first time, the Asian boy didn't pass to his good partner and opted to hit the ball himself.

And this 25-meter long-range shot actually scored! This is Yu Zixiang's first goal in his career!

Yu Zixiang himself was first dumbfounded. It was the cheers of the home fans that brought him to his senses.

And Ian and Patrick had already run over. The three boys hugged each other, screamed, and ran together to the fans in the main stand.

This goal basically announced QPR's promotion to the Premier League.

It is said that the official Twitter account of the Premier League followed the official Twitter account of QPR seconds after the goal was scored.

Nicholas hugged Yu Zixiang, who came to him to celebrate, with a smile on his face.

While everyone was in a state of celebration, the assistant stood near the coach's bench with his hands in his pockets, strangely calm. He walked over and high-fived her, and she came to her senses.

Later, when the final whistle blew, the Spaniard asked his assistant, "What the hell were you thinking?"

Lu Ling thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of it. Finally, she smiled a little silly, "I don't remember." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the whistle blew at the end of the audience. And the first-team coach George also hurriedly conveyed the news from Burnley and Middlesbrough. Burnley and Middlesbrough have both won and remain unchanged at the top of the table.

Middlesbrough won the Championship and Queens Park Rangers finished runners-up. Both teams were directly promoted to the Premier League.

Burnley, on the other hand, are going to play in the promotion play-offs.

When the away fans left the stadium in frustration, few home fans moved away. In fact, they all stood up, applauding and singing for their beloved team.

All the players and members of the coaching staff joined hands and greeted the fans in the stands and thanked them for their support throughout the season.

Nicholas then walked to the center of the pitch and picked up the microphone amid the crowd of cheers and cheers. The stadium gradually fell silent.

"First of all, thank you to the fans for their support this season, I heard that the most passionate and loyal fans were here before I set foot in England, thank you for making me feel the meaning of that statement. ”

After he said this, the fans erupted in a round of applause, and many fans began to chant "Nick Flores, Nick Flores".

"Secondly, I would like to thank my players, my assistants, the board and all the staff. It's been a very special season for me. As you know, this is my first season as a manager. I think I've done a good job. ”

There was laughter on the pitch, and several players snickered as well.

Nicholas smiled domineering and confident, "It's been a good season, and I'm sure next season will be even better than this one." You should be so sure. See you in the Premier League in three months!"

Lu Ling felt strange as he walked towards the locker room, why was it so quiet?

Then, as soon as she pushed open the door to the locker room, she was sprayed with champagne.

She exclaimed, her eyes couldn't open, her hair was dripping with wine, and before she could say anything, she could hear the players laughing.

The assistant coach squinted and grabbed his hands in the air for a long time, which made the players laugh even more crazily.

Someone finally handed over a towel, and Lu Ling didn't need to look at it to know that it was Pat. When she finally wiped her eyes, what she saw when she opened her eyes was a boy's evil smile.

"Coach, come in quickly. Patrick, close. In a moment the boss will be back from the press conference, and we have more for him. Nedham shouted.

Lu Ling continued to wipe beside him and began to sympathize with the Spaniard.

A few minutes later, Nicholas pushed open the door to the locker room.

The effect is better than that of the teaching assistant.

The handsome Latin coach was sprayed with champagne. From head to toe.

Champagne ran down his neck to the inside of his white shirt, the front of which was soaking wet, and to make matters worse, his high-end suit pants......

Lu Ling couldn't bear to look directly, put down the champagne in his hand, and couldn't straighten his waist with a smile.

Nicholas looked down, it was indeed not very elegant. The Spaniard jerked his head up and shouted, "Stop!"

The cheers in the dressing room came to an abrupt end, and the players' movements were frozen in an instant.

Was he angry? Lu Ling straightened up, a little surprised.

"Who the squirted me?"

"Zixiang and assistant teacher !!!" Mensa's fingers were in sync with his voice.

"Zixiang's pants !!!" Lu Ling immediately pushed the pot.

The next moment, Nicholas gritted his teeth and picked up the champagne on the ground and shook it, and then aimed at his assistant, Lu Ling pulled Pate next to him as a shield, but the Spaniard had already turned to Zixiang, who was hiding behind Ian......
