Phil ran into the pitch wearing the number 7 jersey.

Patrick looked at the back, which had once been his jersey. He chuckled softly, but this was heard by the American boss.

"I don't think you're upset, what is that?" asked Nathan Neal.

Hardly. Patrick thought. And under the glass window, those fans who turned back may think the same way.

"I don't know. Patrick's voice was low, and after a while he added, "That's a great number, and I hope Phil doesn't let it down, I mean, don't let her down." ”

"But he's sure to be, he's Phil. ”

Patrick wasn't sure what Nathan Nir meant, he just knew that Tina had expectations for Phil.

Don't let her down, bad boy. The team's former No. 7 is standing in the box and looking at the No. 7 in the field.

The more Juan thought about it, the more wrong it became. Getting out of the car, he said to Nicholas, "Nick, you're mistaken, even if we win against West Ham, if QPR continues to win, they're still at the top of the table. ”

In addition to the Hammers fans, there were also many Liverpudlians who followed the home team around them. In fact, it is not easy for fans of Premier League teams to travel with the team to the away stadium on Boxing Day, and the English national train system is only partially open on Boxing Day. But loyal fans will always have another way to get there to support the team.

For many fans who regard supporting the team as a family tradition and a lifelong belief, there is no away game that cannot be visited, no matter how far away, no matter how bad the weather, even if the probability of the team winning the game on this trip is slim.

Nicholas waved at the fans shouting his name and walked inside the building.

"I don't think they're going to win. Nicholas said to the teaching assistant.

'I was watching the game on my phone, QPR was one at the end of the first half, City equalised in the second half, and now Christine has used up three substitutions and that Phil has just gone up. The results are hard to say. After Juan finished speaking, he added, "And when you say that, the two teams are still 0:0, and theoretically speaking, the outcome is unpredictable." Why are you so sure?"

Nicholas said hello to a couple of West Ham staff members he was familiar with, then he tilted his head and said, "You already know that Christine likes to strike first. ”

Juan nodded.

"She does like to take the lead, not only before the game, but also during the game. Her on-the-spot command ability is not as weak as the media and fans think, in fact, it is not weak at all. ”

"I agree, but I always think she doesn't have enough control over the situation that she didn't expect. It's not that it can't be handled, but there's always something missing......" Juan continued.

A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Nicholas's eyes, and Juan finally began to get to know Christine in depth, but it was not surprising that they had fought many times and always brought food for thought. Juan was always a smart guy.

"I had a casual conversation with her in the summer...... She thought of him as complicated, and of course, Sampaoli was also complicated. ”

"Where's the logic behind this, Nick?"

In a game, the intentions of the two coaches may not be able to be spied on each other during the game, and even if they can be spied out, due to various reasons, such as player ability and unexpected circumstances, it may not be able to effectively contain it every time.

Christine always thought of herself as a less controlling person, and in life, perhaps, compared to him and Pep, perhaps. But she is still very paranoid about a specific matter. For example, she always wants to be prepared before something happens. Obviously a very casual person, but she also has an adventurous spirit, but she can't seem to get rid of this.

And this characteristic of hers, when she meets Sampaoli, there is a high probability that she will suffer. A cunning South American, one layer or two layers of empathy may not be enough......

Nicholas thought of the forward-moving Yu Zixiang he had seen in her office that night, and he had already guessed that she would probably play 3331 this time, although she later put on a 442 formation on the tactical board to deceive him. Sure enough, halfway through the first half, she switched to 3331. He didn't know if she didn't trust him that much, or if she was discriminating against his intelligence. Thinking of this, Nicholas felt funny, and thought, how could she be so cute, cunning and cute.

They have arrived at the away dressing room.

Nicholas took off his coat and smiled, "The logic is that I guess she will make mistakes, and the smarter people are, the easier they are to make mistakes." However, it was only my guess, and of course, it was also what I hoped for. Seriously, Juan, leave that game alone, if you're really interested, we'll go back and watch the footage of that game and talk about it. West Ham's starting XI will come out soon......"

Phil Warren formed a two-man position with Mitsy Batshuayi on the pitch, while Leon dropped back to the left and became a member of the midfield.

QPR offers a tactic that has become increasingly rare in modern football - the "twin towers".

Phil and Michy Batshuayi are both strong centre-forwards who are very mobile. With the help of these two people, the QPR began to launch a direct offensive.

This tactic, if it is used as a starting style of play, will inevitably have some problems, because no matter how tall the center can run, it is impossible for a small player to run. In modern football, which emphasizes constant running, two center forwards can drag down the overall offensive and defensive completion rate.

But it's not the same with the bench.

At the moment, Manchester City's consumption is as great as the QPR, and at this time, the "Twin Towers" have an environment to survive.

Lu Ling had thought about this style of play for a long time, but today he sent Phil up, which was a sudden burst of inspiration.

This is for a preemptive strike. At the moment, just over 70 minutes into the game, Sampaoli's final move has not yet been used.

One of the most important things she learned from playing against Nick was timing.

On the field, QPR no longer advances through the ground, but constantly walks the ball high, hitting the two ribs in the front court, and letting the two centers take turns to take on the task of "tower".

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a "fortress". In the hinterland of the opponent, directly insert two of your own fortresses.

Mitsy Batshuayi is adept at playing against opponents and then playing the ball, while Phil also has his own style of playing, with the two taking turns as "fortresses", using their strong physique to create direct offensive opportunities for their teammates.

Many coaches only know how to use "technology" to create advantages, but ignore the role of "physique". This is also what Lu Ling learned from the Italian coach - the legendary Italian coach Marcelo Lippi is a master of playing the twin towers.

Under the impact of the twin towers, Manchester City still relied on talented players to create an attack, but when they turned to the defense, they were obviously caught off guard and disjointed.

Phil played a lot of fun. Because number one, he doesn't hate going head-to-head with his opponents. Second, since Batshuayi was also arranged with the same characters, then...... He had a chance to shoot.

H's exact words were: "Look for an opportunity and don't hesitate to shoot!"

Michy Batshuayi picked up a high ball from Ian and drew Manchester City defender Otamendi. With only 180 years tall, Otamendi struggles to hold up against a QPR centre-forward.

Next, Michy Batshuayi played the ball to Claudio.

Here's a chance.

Phil cut forward at high speed at the same time, and Claudio sent the ball straight over the top.

Single Knife Ball!

My goal bonus, my £800, is about to be cashed out!

The eyes of the whole new Queen's Park were on the "amateur player", and Phil took the ball with unusually easy foot and took a step forward into the penalty area.

Patrick was also staring at Phil's movements. He thought to himself, the basic skills are awesome, and the psychological quality is also excellent.

John Stones chased it back. But he couldn't stop Phil anymore, so he tugged at Phil's arm with his hand.

Phil lost his balance at high speed.

*, £800 is gone, but I'm going to fall into the box!!

So he lay down in the forbidden area.

Referee Pawson's whistle sounded.

Phil turned his head, was it a penalty?

The referee did not award a penalty...... But the red card was shown to Stones right away!

The stadium erupted in loud cheers as fans in the North Stand at New Queen's Park made a "bye-bye" gesture to Stones.

It's not a foul in the box, so it's not a penalty. But the timing of Stones' pull down Phil was after Phil formed a single knife. According to the rules, a red card is shown for a foul that prevents an "absolute chance to score".

QPR won a well-placed free-kick (a little outside the line of the box).

Zixiang ran over and slapped Phil, who was still a little dazed, on the head, "What a fucking nice job, you bastard!"

Phil immediately came back to his senses and slapped Xiang on the back fiercely, "Fuck you, you're a bastard!"

QPR's top scorer, Leon Ferreira, stood in front of the ball.

This ball is actually a bit close, and it takes a certain amount of skill. Leon's eyes swept the wall ten yards away.

Uruguayan boy runs, shoots -

City's wall jumped, but Leon hit a low shot against the turf!

The ball passed under the Manchester City wall at great speed, but not too tricky. It looked like Manchester City goalkeeper Rulli could save the ball.

Rulli fell to the ground, the ball was so fast that he could only block it.

At this time, a person rushed to the landing point that rebounded.

It's Phil Warren!

The home fans all stood up, their hands in the air.

Phil was still pretending to fight with Zixiang a second before Leon's shot, but at the moment when Leon just kicked out, he suddenly started, crossed the human wall, and crossed everyone.

He was the only one who caught the spot where the ball was saved by the Manchester City goalkeeper.

Phil's mind went blank at this point, and all he had was the thought of sending the ball into the goal. He slid and Rulli pounced on him with a second reaction......

The score is 2:1!

In the 81st minute, Philip "Phil" Warren, who had just turned 19, scored his first goal to help QPR take the score again!!Warren came from a semi-professional league and was in League Two four months ago at League Two side Leyton East, but now he could win this Boxing Day battle for QPR!!" Martin Taylor roared wildly on the TV in the VIP box, but was almost drowned out by the thunderous shouts coming from the stands outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Patrick jumped up with Nathan Neil at that moment, and the latter's champagne was all spilled on the fancy suit pants. The image of them celebrating like fans was naturally captured by the TV cameras.

Near the touchline, the QPR boss threw punches in quick succession before hugging Tim.

Phil went into a frenzy after the goal, shouting a bunch of swear words that he couldn't hear, rushing to the corner flag, rushing to the touchline, and then being dragged down by a bunch of blue-and-white teammates, and hearing someone shouting "Phil" and "her*er", followed by a bunch of teammates rushing up from the bench, including Genk, who had been replaced by him.

Oddly enough, from the goal to the celebration, Phil had no £800 on his mind.

It turns out that the feeling of scoring goals in the Premier League is so wonderful, no marijuana, hooker, anything can compare.

Someone else was holding his head, and he glanced at the sideline to applaud him. Phil turned his head, his heart full of pride, this was the first step in winning that five-ball bet with you.

****

In the box.

Nathan Neal looked down at his pants, a little helpless, "I'd better go and change...... Otherwise, others will think that something has happened to us. ”

"No, I don't think so. Patrick tilted his mouth, "No one gets that wrong, but someone must think you're excited to urinate...... I mean, you don't have a little bit of self-control? Lawrence. ”

“*you！patrick！*you！”

The door to the box was slammed shut.

Patrick gradually put away his smile and turned his gaze and attention back to the arena. 166 Reading Network
