Amber's biggest impression when she first met Patrick was that he was slightly thinner than he looked on TV. Of course, she knew that he wasn't really thin, especially when they hugged later. He is very handsome, there is no doubt about it, he can go to Hollywood with such a face and figure, maybe after retiring. Just like the equally famous England star. In fact, he doesn't even have to really make any movies, he can make a lot of money by appearing on any show. But Patrick's face is still a little different from that in front of the camera, in short, he actually wants to be more real and three-dimensional, more handsome. Other than that, his smile was just too polite. Or perfunctory. And there was a bit of sadness in his blue eyes, which made him look even sexier. A twenty-one-year-old boy, why is there something complicated in his eyes?

Amber had been through a lot of men, and she could tell at a glance whether this man was interested in her, and from the initial meeting, Patrick hadn't yet. They added hatsapp and never got in touch.

In fact, Amber's time in Spain was mainly due to a new film being filmed in Barcelona, and her part was neither more nor less, so she still had time to do something else in the city with her friends. For example, going to tennis with Shakira, like going to football with Shakira. The former was out of boredom, and the latter was a little interested in Patrick.

So today, in the final round of La Liga, she once again appeared in the stands at Camp Nou with Shakira.

The game was almost over and she wasn't interested, but she knew it was clear that Barcelona had won and won La Liga this season.

****

Lu Ling has been busy for a week, not watching any games, including the Europa League final and FA Cup final – all she knows is that Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 to qualify for next season's Champions League, while Manchester City beat West Brom 2-0 in the FA Cup, and Pep Guardiola finally won his first title since arriving at Manchester City.

She also didn't watch the final round of La Liga, but when she learned that Barcelona had beaten Leganés 2-0 at home, she turned on the TV.

Barcelona are lifting the cup.

Patrick stood in the middle of a bunch of players in red and blue jerseys and smiled beautifully – his first league title.

He got it one step ahead of her. The other person also got it one step earlier than her.

She had a little bit of a loser feeling in this moment, even though she knew it wasn't real or irrational. She's not a loser, at least not for the time being.

The TV camera always doesn't miss some gimmicks, and when Lu Ling is about to turn off the TV, the TV repeats what may have been a previous scene, Amber and Shakira sitting in the stands at the Camp Nou.

It's no coincidence. Lu Ling thought. She shook her head and turned off the TV. Whatever happened to the two Ambers, or what didn't happen, she didn't have any position to ask. She just hoped that not so soon.

Three days ago, Ramsey left and Tom Jones became the team's technical director. And just yesterday, Rice had already left Harrington. Although the replies given by Nathan Neal and Tony at the formal meeting five days ago were still not so categorical, the fact is that the Americans and Malaysians have agreed to all her demands.

Simon was also quick to negotiate Rice's successor. In fact, Lu Ling had already been in contact with the Sevilla football director Monchi before, and everything went more smoothly than expected. When Monchi arrives in Harrington tomorrow, she will start talking to him about the transfer.

It's just that when Les left yesterday, Lu Ling was a little reluctant.

The club originally offered him another position as an ambassador for the club, with the same salary, but the work at the competitive level of the team has actually been detached from the work - the former QPR legend angrily refused, and voluntarily resigned.

'There are some Premier League teams who want me and it's not like I can't find a job! I think I'm doing a good job, maybe I haven't been very compatible with Christine, and we have some differences in philosophy, but that doesn't mean she's the right choice, just wait and see. ”

These are his exact words. But before he left yesterday, he didn't have any conflict with Lu Ling, and they even hugged each other and wished each other good luck in the future.

"I respect and thank you for everything you do for the team, Rice. ”

"I also thank you for everything you do for the club I love so much, it's hard to leave here and I'm sorry we didn't get along in the end. In fact, from the moment you became the acting manager, I knew that there might be a day when either you left or I left. It seems that it was me in the end. ”

"You will have a very bright future!"

"You too, and I hope this team does too. ”

They said these words, and then Les Ferdinand left. He's a proud footballer.

At that time, Lu Ling looked at the man's back and looked back at the empty corridor, just like that, the original people left one by one, either actively or passively, but she was still here, and some people were also here. On both sides of the corridor hang some classic moments and classic words spoken by the club's former players and coaches. One of the sentences reads:

"I came to this club with the intention of creating a legend. ”

She looked at the name of the person who said it, and she saw that it was not a famous name, and she was not even familiar with the player. But now, that's probably the thought of everyone who wants to come to this club.

Last year, she promised her fans that the past season would be off to a great start, and she did.

Putting all negativity out of the equation, she will lead QPR to the Champions League next season, and she can't help but be excited when she thinks about that.

Later in the evening, the Everton boss made a phone call.

The call was not quite the same as usual.

Lu Ling and Nick talked about Yu Zixiang's transfer again very professionally, and in addition, Nick is very willing to bring in QPR's main central defender Glenn Mitchell. He didn't mention Ian this time, perhaps he was sure that the Scot wouldn't be leaving QPR at all, since he became the de facto captain of the team. Of course, the Spaniard also knows Ian's character well, he is too loyal.

In this era, there is no such player.

"These two players, whatever offer you're going to make, you know I'm not going to sell them. Like I want Van der Bergh on your team, would you trade him for that?"

"I probably would. One for two is not uneconomical. ”

Lu Ling smiled and shook his head here, "Forget it, I think even if Vanderberg wants to leave, it is unlikely that he will choose us, I heard that Jose also wants him." ”

"I've heard that Jose could leave Manchester United. ”

Lu Ling's eyes widened for a moment, in addition to the brilliant season of Everton and various transfer rumors and the news of the World Cup in the newspapers in the past week, the most eye-catching thing is the future of the two Manchester club managers.

Previously, only the Catalans had been exposed to the possibility of leaving Manchester City, and there have been more news about the Portuguese leaving this week. Lu Ling didn't know if it was groundless or something wrong. But Nick's words made her lean towards the latter.

"Hey, did Jose tell you anything?"

'How could he tell the Everton manager about his future. I just watched the news and I guess United aren't sacking him and he doesn't necessarily want to leave, but maybe something isn't going well. ”

Lu Ling nodded, "I hope both he and Pep can stay." ”

"Because they give you points every season?" asked Nicholas with a smile over there.

Lu Ling thought about it carefully, and these two Manchester teams did give a lot of points to QPR.

"While I don't hate you for saying that, it would be arrogant for me to say it myself. She paused, "I just love playing with them, and I always learn a lot." ”

"Yes, you are a good learner. Nicholas affirmed, "By the way, thank you for the congratulatory text, I forgot to reply." ”

"I think you've been getting a hundred congratulatory messages a day lately. ”

"Yes, maybe I have to thank God that they didn't call. By the way, I heard that Rice is gone. ”

The Post reported the news last night, and they even interviewed Rice, but Rice didn't say anything bad about the club or Lu Ling. He's a real gentleman at that point, and he really loves this team.

"That's right, I ended up leaving. Do you always want to him off when you're there?"

"But I didn't, you drove him away. It's good that you didn't come to poach my director of football. ”

"I did think about ......"

"I know...... Remember, Christine, if you want to take something from me, you're always going to have to trade it for something. ”

His tone was slightly strange, and Lu Ling did not respond to this sentence.

He asked, "Are you going to take a vacation in the summer?"

"I haven't decided yet. She said, the conversation turning to the personal, and she didn't feel comfortable, so she said, "Have a nice summer, Nick, and I'm sure it's going to be a great one." ”

"The same goes for you."

“ciao.”

She hung up.

Lu Ling knew very well that she would not have a too pleasant summer, but she would definitely have a busy summer, and this was very good.

Before resuming work, she sent a message to Patrick:

[Congratulations, Pat! I'm so happy for you!]

She quickly received a reply from him:

[Thank you, Tina.] I'm back in London tomorrow night. 166 Reading Network
