During the international break, Jacob Harding, who did not play with the England national team, was similarly busy. His minor concussion was not serious and did not interfere with his daily life, but the doctor's order was to never exercise vigorously for three weeks. After three weeks, he had no problems with the re-examination, returned to Harrington and began to slowly recover, and almost all of his first-team team-mates went to report to the national team.

In the three weeks that Jacob knew he was away, two big things happened to the team: first, QPR qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and second, Benjamin Hamilton and Leon Ferreira got into a fight on the bus.

But Jacob heard Phil say that it wasn't a fight, and that Leon was deliberately Ben off, and Ben beat up the Uruguayans. Jacob regretted not being able to witness Mr. Hamilton's anger. He then told Benjamin what he was saying on the phone. Ben's response on the phone was, "If you ask Phil to follow me to the bathroom again, you'll know when you get back." Jacob was shocked that Ben actually threatened him, a tough guy from the Northeast. After the shock, the Newcastle people thought about it and thought there was nothing surprising about it. After all, man is such a complex creature.

This afternoon, the sun is sparse.

Jacob played yesterday in the Under-23s game, where the boss watched half the game and told him after the game that he would be able to train with the first team the day after tomorrow. Jacob was happy, of course, he missed those stupid guys. What's more, there are only two crucial months left in the season and no player wants to miss out. He trains a little bit today, and he still focuses on recovery. When he came out of the gym and was about to go home, he ran into Benjamin holding a laurel tree.

"Give me?" Jacob's elbow was half-propped on Benjamin's shoulder, and he was slightly taller than Ben, less than an inch, "though no man has ever given me flowers, but these are flowers, right? ”

Benjamin glanced at the elbow on his shoulder with a slight smile, "Jake, you look like you're recovering well." ”

Jacob could see that Ben was a little disgusted with his elbow, and if it weren't for himself, he would have thrown it off a long time ago. Jacob glanced at the laurel tree again, and when he looked away, he looked through the thick glass at Pat outside the building. "Go ahead. Jacob lowered his elbow.

Benjamin didn't expect to come out by himself, and Jake was still at the end of the hallway. They walked together to the parking lot, and neither of them spoke. Walking to the parking lot, Jacob suddenly asked, "Does she like laurel trees?"

Benjamin didn't answer immediately, the scattered sunlight shone on him, but it was not warm. "At least not annoying. That's what he told Jake, and that's what he told himself.

Jake laughed and nudged him, "You're so thoughtful, laurel trees can be kept for a long time, but you have to know that even if she or Pat didn't throw it in the trash, she wouldn't think about you every day when she saw it." ”

Benjamin looked back at the office building, where there was a shadow. He turned around and reached out to the Newcastle man, who shook hands and bumped shoulders. Benjamin said, "It's nice to see you back. I still have a class today. See you tomorrow, man. ”

Jacob agreed, and then he watched the Aston Martin drive away, thinking that Ben had changed cars again, and that he was so busy, and he had to go back to class from the national team!? The two also chatted a few words. A few minutes later, Jacob watched another Aston Martin leave.

Damn, I've got to get one, too. Jacob thought.

****

Friday's Harrington first-team training ground was full except for Mensah. Tim, Darryl, Julian have gone to the training ground. Lu Linggang came back from the pre-match press conference and was still in his office. She was standing by the window, looking at the crowd.

It's the second day of April, and it's still a good day. From now on, the schedule of the two races will continue on and on, without respite. If QPR can reach the last four of the Champions League, it will face such a situation by May 23 (the final round of the Premier League).

High pressure, constant high pressure, will stay with them until the end of the season. Lack of continuous training time, lack of adequate recovery time. All the players' physical condition will be put to the toughest test. This season, QPR has introduced state-of-the-art sleep chambers to keep players rested, and Alice's leading medical and sports science department has developed some of the most advanced diet, recovery and fitness programs in the industry.

But no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

The next three games are all Premier League games and will be completed in eight days. The home games against Leicester City and Birmingham City were relatively easy, but a game away to Arsenal was sandwiched between them, making it even more difficult. Thomas Tuchel's Gunners are currently in a race for the top four with Manchester City and Liverpool, and that trip to the Emirates Stadium will not be easy.

Currently, QPR have 23 wins, 5 draws and 0 defeats in the Premier League, scoring 90 goals and conceding just 13 goals – making them the team with the highest points per game and the most goals scored in Europe's top five leagues.

However, there are two other teams that are as unbeaten in the league as QPR, Real Madrid and AC Milan – who are even better, not only unbeaten in the league but also in other arenas (QPR was the only defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage).

Lu Ling turned around from the window, took his coat at the door, and put it on as he walked out. The number of sunny days starting to increase does not mean that the weather is not cold and the wind is not strong.

An hour and a half later, the training session ended. Lu Ling was very satisfied with today's training session. The players who returned from the national team did not show excessive fatigue and no injuries. As for the atmosphere of the training session, there was a certain tension, but it was also very harmonious.

As soon as it was disbanded, Phil's voice rang out, and it was so high that it was heard by the whole training ground.

"Hans, I must meet your chick tonight!"

Phil's voice fell, followed by whistles and heckling.

"Oh-"

……

Lu Ling and Tim looked at each other, and she remembered that it was Hans's birthday, and she remembered the gossip that Pat had told her that night. Lu Ling smiled and tilted his head, seeing Phil say something in the ear of the tall German, but he was immediately slapped into the crowd. There was a louder burst of laughter.

Phil continued to shout: "Don't think I didn't see ...... when you brought her over in the morning."

"Now that you've seen it, don't come to my house at night. Hans tugged at his gloves and pushed Phil away, who had come closer.

"I didn't see the face, I didn't see the ass ......"

Patrick patted Phil on the head, "Don't be a girl, that's Hans's girlfriend." ”

Phil sighed, rolled his eyes, and teased in a different way. "The boss that Mr. Louis conveyed just now seems to mean that in the next two months, after twelve o'clock, there will be no sex. Don't forget. ”

Leon followed Patrick's example and jumped up and slapped Phil's head, "You just forget about yourself and educate others." ”

Phil slapped back. "I'm totally okay with that. I can start at six in the afternoon and finish at twelve!" he said and yelled at the manager, "Boss, how does this sound?"

Patrick thought to himself that it was a good idea, and he couldn't help but smile. Unfortunately, Tina couldn't get off work before six o'clock.

"You?six hours?" the voice in the crowd was abrupt. Because it was Benjamin's voice, and there was a sneer.

Obviously, everyone who heard it was a little surprised. Lu Ling and Tim also looked in that direction. The boys often start bragging about their sexuality while making a fuss, but it's not so common for Ben to make fun of Phil.

"You, the man who ran for sixty minutes and got weak, laughed at me?" Phil snorted.

Jacob said, "It was the beginning of the season. ”

Leon glanced at the second captain and then at Benjamin, and said leisurely: "Your boyfriend, of course you know, even if it doesn't work, you have to say it better." ”

Jacob walked over and slammed Leon, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Get out." Your boyfriend moved to Real Madrid, and now he's bent when he sees everyone, isn't he?"

Patrick and Ian looked at each other, thinking that Zixiang would have to hold Jake to the ground and beat him up if he was there.

Hans slowed down, and he looked back to see the head coach and assistant coach in a good mood talking. He suddenly remembered how he had first seen them at that restaurant in Seoul about four years ago. Tim's words were not convincing, and Christine stood up and looked down at herself and said that she would be the best manager in the world in the future. Almost as soon as she said that, he decided not to go to QPR. Although, after saying that, she left the restaurant. Could it be more like a queen? Hans didn't know. He made the right decision, and that's all he knows.

When Lu Ling and Tim looked up, they both found Hans waiting for them. They went over to the German and wished him a happy birthday.

Hans smiled slightly and thanked him. After a moment's hesitation, Hans suddenly said, "My girl is also a football coach. ”

Lu Ling and Tim were surprised, although there didn't seem to be anything to be surprised about.

Hans frowned. He looked at the manager, "I thought Pat told you." ”

Lu Ling shrugged with a smile, "I didn't say details." ”

Hans nodded, his green eyes tinged with innocence and shyness. "Mia, her name is Mia, that's nice, isn't it? she's an assistant coach at Arsenal Women's and she's German. ”

Lu Ling pursed her lips and had to hold back a smile, she told herself. "Looking forward to meeting Mia. ”

Hans said with all seriousness: "Yes." Mia wants to see you too. He rubbed his nose, probably because he was still shy, "You're Mia's idol......" He was probably too shy, so he suddenly turned around and walked to the locker room, obviously only halfway through the sentence.

Lu Ling looked at Tim with a smile.

"Men who fall in love think that the name of a woman they like is the best in the world," Tim said. ”

****

The game against Leicester City went well. In the opening two minutes, Patrick quickly met the ball and slotted it into the corner from 30 yards out. Towards the end of the first half, Ian played over the top and Leon turned and poked lightly on his toes to send the ball into the back of the net. QPR finally kept the 2:0 game to the end, and Lu Ling made a substitution in the second half as usual to rest, and scored three points without blood.

Since some London dignitaries were coming to New Queen's Park today, Lu Ling socialized with Simon and the other directors at New Queen's Park for about two hours. As she left the court, she turned on her phone and saw a wonderful message:

Chelsea lost 1-0 to Manchester City.

She looked at the messages the players and coaches had sent her. It seemed that Simeone's side had more chances throughout the game, but in the final moments of the game, City took advantage of a counter-attack to finish by Bernardo Silva.

As a result, QPR is three points clear of Chelsea after the last game – and if they can continue to win in the coming week, then perhaps Chelsea will have lost hope by the time of the Stamford Bridge game.

The 31st round of the Premier League is a midweek fixture. Six on Tuesday night and four on Wednesday night. Arsenal's match against QPR will be played on Wednesday evening.

On Tuesday night, Lu Ling took the time to study Arsenal's recent games. When it was almost ten o'clock, the six Premier League games of the night were over, and Lu Ling learned a not-so-good news.

Everton's win came as no surprise, with Marco Silva's side on a six-game winning streak of late. It was the result of the other two games, which made Lu Ling feel that it was not very favorable.

The Manchester City duo dropped points at the same time. Manchester City drew 0-0 at home to Southampton and Manchester United lost 1-0 to West Ham.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with QPR. But it has a lot to do with Arsenal – the Gunners are only seventh behind Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, and it would be very good for them to drop points at the same time, and a win over QPR would revive Arsenal's hopes of a top-four finish, which would be a major blow to Arsenal.

Desperate teams will either be crushed with a single blow or they will be crushed.

****

When he got the list, Lu Ling was a little surprised. Arsenal lined up a very conservative formation.

Germany's new coach, Thomas Tuchel, has always emphasised passing and attacking, and has philosophical similarities to Nagelsmann. Today at home, he fielded a 352 formation (which can obviously be converted into 532 or even 541 at any time), and is very cautious and defensive-minded from the point of view of selection. The truly authentic attacking players are only 20-year-old Italian trequartista Bernardino and 22-year-old American striker Christian Pulisic. Arsenal have drawn two in a row in the league recently, so a change of tactics could be Tuchel's attempt to change the status quo and earn the three points.

Lu Ling walked out of the players' tunnel.

The Emirates Stadium is sometimes derided as a library because it is too quiet. In fact, England's other giant, the home of the Red Devils Manchester United, Old Trafford, has also been complained of too many "sightseeing fans" by local diehards in recent years, resulting in too much silence when the whole team should be encouraged.

The two Premier League clubs with the largest fan base and the highest commercial value do sometimes have this problem. But that's not much of a problem. Even at the simplest level, these two clubs still have to queue for two years after not winning a significant title for many years, and the attendance rate for each game is still as high as 98%. This is the depth of foundation and fans that Chelsea and Manchester City, who have achieved better results after the rise, are still unattainable for the time being, and as for the so-called upstarts QPR and Everton, it is even more difficult to match.

Will it always be like this? Of course not. As long as the results continue to be good enough, the status quo may not be changed in five or ten years, but what about fifteen or twenty years?

Lu Ling looked at the away fan zone at the Emirates Stadium, and she was looking forward to the start of a blue and white dynasty. She smiled and walked over to Tuchel.

Oh yes, the Emirates Stadium today wasn't like a library, the atmosphere was very lively, at least at the beginning.

****

Arsenal played very cautiously. Lu Ling tilted his head and said to Tim: "It seems that this team is back to when Allegri was coaching. ”

Tim nodded, but added, "It's Tuchel's way of structuring the attack. We can take advantage of that. ”

Lu Ling smiled, "I'm not worried. ”

The game didn't go the way Lu Ling and Tim envisioned.

This was not a tactical mistake.

In fact, in the early stages of the game, they did a good job of limiting Arsenal's backfield passes with their forward pressing, and they were able to suppress their opponents quite strongly. It's a situation that Lu Ling is familiar with – goals are coming soon, and QPR's attacks are pushing Arsenal off the brink.

Just score the first goal and it's easy.

But in the 27th minute, the unexpected happened.

JT, which has been doing better and better lately, hesitated at that moment. This mistake is not obvious, but it can have serious consequences. As he was in possession at the back, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey rushed towards him – but it was just empty momentum, with at least three points of contact around JT.

JT hesitated and chose to send it back.

Passing back wasn't a bad choice, but his support feet skidded a little when turning.

As a result, the ball was given smaller.

Glenn noticed that the pass was too light and immediately took two steps forward, but Bernardino went faster, pulled the ball back into his control with the forefoot of his right foot, and then flicked his left foot and tucked the ball through the defense before Glenn could finish his movements!

It was another example of Italian fantasia – the movement of the left and right feet was extremely fast, and it was purely the immediate reaction of that moment, the moment of inspiration, the ball to Pulisic who was successfully offside.

The Arsenal striker had a one-on-one chance and he touched the ball and fired straight at goal.

Hans attacked, but this time Pulisic had a tricky shot that was too difficult to save.

QPR trailed at the Emirates Stadium and, with Christian Pulisic colliding with Hans. At this moment, both fell in the restricted area of the QPR.

Hans poked his finger, and Alice hurriedly ran up to spray the refrigerant. Fortunately, Hans had no problem.

Pulisic, who scored the goal, was not so lucky, he couldn't dodge after the shot, was hit hard by Hans's strong shoulder, twisted his knee when he landed, couldn't hold on, and was replaced.

When Lu Ling saw the player who was about to be replaced, he frowned.

Danny Welbeck, a 30-year-old England striker, came on in place of Christian Pulisic.

Welbeck can be said to be a very unlucky player. From Manchester United to Arsenal, they have been plagued by injuries. He has been in good form since his comeback this year but has not been reused by Tuchel. His physical fitness has actually declined to a certain extent due to injuries. But if it's just a hard-fought battle, there may be no one in the Arsenal squad who is more experienced than him.

The England striker can dribble the ball, carry people with his back, cut forward, defend, bounce well, and has not lost his explosiveness and stamina. Shooting is his weakness, and the goal scoring rate is not high. Because of this, the outside world's recognition of him has never been very good.

****

'Genk replaced Jake and became a back four. "The baby's voice sent a very clear message. Benjamin thought. He also realised that by the end of the first half, Arsenal were holding a 1-0 lead, and Welbeck's presence was a very harassing effect, making the QPR's attack staccato. He knows that Phil is significantly better than Welbeck now, but in terms of pure experience, the Arsenal striker is more adept at harassing the defence in a variety of ways.

If this game is not won or even lost, it will continue to give Chelsea a chance to close. With a direct head-to-head clash with Chelsea coming soon, this game baby certainly doesn't want to go wrong.

Jake was replaced. Benjamin thought as he adjusted his way of giving the ball. When Jake plays on the right wing, he needs to control the ball more and absorb the pressure in order to get Jake in place. But now Genk is playing entirely as a winger, and his pace has been able to squeeze Arsenal's side of the pitch and give him more space. He loves this adjustment of the baby.

Benjamin had a feeling of being untied.

His left foot is firmly on the ground to make a fulcrum, and the inside of his right foot is flat in the middle and lower part of the ball, bringing out a strong spin. The ball was given a little too fast, and the arc was hard to judge, he thought.

But, too, for Arsenal's defenders.

Mustafi didn't have time to intercept the ball sideways, and Van Dijk didn't even have time to jump. Only the number 18, wearing a blue and white jersey, was able to turn smoothly in that little time of less than a second, and then use his right foot to leap into the air.

The ball fell and was hit with the left foot. Goalkeeper Petr Cech pounced, but in vain.

The score became 1:1.

****

Although QPR equalised at the start of the second half through Patrick, there have been no other goals since. Arsenal fought all the time.

Leon was in average condition today, Lu Ling had already replaced him, and Phil, who was still on the field, also seemed a little anxious.

Even so, the QPR deserved the goal.

Genk was pushed to the ground by Bellerin in the box five minutes earlier, and the referee ignored him. Lu Ling recalled that this season's luck was definitely not good. She looked on the pitch and Arsenal's attacking was already very limited. Welbeck's fitness had already appeared by this time, but Bernardino still worried her. This player's thinking ability may not be as good as Bayern's Shafre, but if you only talk about the inspiration that bursts out in a moment, I am afraid that only Pate can compare.

After this wave of offensives, the pressure of the QPR was somewhat sluggish. Arsenal immediately made a couple of quick passes before left-back Ryan Sessegnon slid the ball diagonally to Bernardino in the middle.

The Italian's run forward seemed to be a bit too far, which made Ian hesitate a little, and it looked like Bernardino had slipped the ball behind him.

When Bernardino ran past the ball, he flicked it with his back heel seemingly inadvertently. With the inertia of the incoming ball, this flirtation allowed the ball to fly towards the penalty area.

Welbeck was a little slower to get on his feet and Hans came out on top......

But he couldn't catch the ball!

Lu Ling was shocked, Hans got out!

With 89 minutes played, Arsenal led the top QPR 2-1 at home.

Arsenal's players have all brought down Welbeck. At this moment, this is not a library by any means, but the site of a volcanic eruption.

QPR, who have not tasted defeat in the league this season, look set to face their first defeat of the season at the Emirates Stadium.

Is it going to be the plot of the old days again?

On the field, Hans clutched his hands and fell to the ground.

Lu Ling realized that his finger injury in the first half had an impact, so he caused him to get out of his hand.

Alice came in again, and after treatment, Hans refused to be substituted.

Lu Ling chose to trust the Germans. However, Chelsea's side have already decided to win, and if they lose this one, the QPR points will be tied again. Moreover, it will be the Queen's first defeat of the league season for the blue and white. Perhaps this is more difficult for everyone to accept than being tied with points.

The QPR is almost fully pressed.

But in stoppage time, it was Arsenal who had the first chance to shoot. On a counter-attack, Weigel's long pass found Bernardino. If the Italian chooses to go to the touchline or cheat a set-piece, then the QPR may have no choice but to let Arsenal waste time.

Ian stuck up and forced Bernardino to be uncomfortable, but even then, the Italian opted to shoot and had a lot of power.

Hans caught the ball well this time. He then threw the ball hard with his uninjured hand.

Benjamin took the ball straight and combined it with Patrick in the middle.

Arsenal's defense was a little chaotic, and at the top of the penalty area, Benjamin shot hard!

Cech touched it with his finger and the ball was folded off the line.

Corner kick.

All the players from the QPR went up. Including Hans.

Benjamin takes the corner. Stoppage time was less than thirty seconds.

The ball is kicked into the air by Benjamin. Glenn jumped high, and so did the opposing Van Dijk. The two men came together and the ball flew outside the box.

From Lu Ling's point of view, she felt that the players in red and white jerseys were all on the landing point.

Suddenly, a blue-white figure quickly passed through it.

Before the ball landed, at the moment when the opponent two came up to clear the siege, Patrick Amber slid out with his whole body, completing a half-turn in the process, and also bringing out the splash of blades of grass and dirt.

Everyone in the stadium seemed to stop, the QPR players, the Arsenal players, the fans in the stands, the referees on the field.

Lu Ling saw that Pat's body was fully tilted, planted to the ground under inertia, and when his body was almost parallel to the ground, he exerted all his strength and picked the ball towards the penalty area.

In the crowded restricted area, only one person did not stop.

With a tall and broad body, he caught up with the ball in two steps. His strong right leg was raised in the air, and Coquelin next to him had already reacted and wanted to interfere, but was bounced away by the steel-hard body.

Hans Bachmeier fired a volley into the net!

One minute later, the game was over. 2:2 was the final score.

After shaking hands with Tuchel, Lu Ling rushed to the field and jumped directly on Hans. This attracted a lot of side eyes and exclamations in the stadium and in the stands. Lu Ling couldn't care so much, and patted Hans on the back hard. "Amazing!!amazing!!" she couldn't say any pretty words, just repeating a few words.

"Why wasn't the boss so enthusiastic about me when I scored the key goal?" said Phil as he walked over with Patrick, grunting uncontrollably.

Patrick gave a funny look at Number 7, "Stupid, this is Hans' first career goal!"

Benjamin also walked in that direction, a little sullen. When I scored my first professional goal, baby wasn't so enthusiastic about me.

Jacob, who was next to Benjamin, seemed to know what he was thinking, and Jacob covered his mouth and whispered, "Hans is the goalkeeper." In his career, apart from penalties, he had very few chances to score, okay?"

I don't care. I just want the baby to jump on me too. Benjamin didn't speak, and like many of his teammates, patted Hans on the arm.

"Come on, if Hans hadn't had Mia, you'd have to rush up and beat him. Phil shook his hand disdainfully at Patrick and went up to grab the manager and goalkeeper.

Patrick pouted. Phil was jealous of something, the first goal was scored by him, the second goal was assisted by him, and Tina hadn't jumped on him yet. He pondered how to go back and "educate" Tina on how to recognize the manthe match. 166 Reading Network
