381 Chapter 381
By mid-to-late May, the season of Europe's major leagues came to an end. The Premier League champions remain in west London, another west London side that is no longer called an upstart – Chelsea. QPR narrowly retained fourth place in the final round and qualified for next season's Champions League. Fans of the Queens Park Rangers travelling to London Stadium brought with them a banner they had prepared:
Homeing Queen (commonly translated as Homecoming Queen, an American high school tradition where fans use this meme to welcome Lu Ling home)
They won't know what's going to happen next season, no one knows. But for fans, the end of each season means a lot of hope for the next season.
Year after year, good hopes make up life as a fan.
At the end of May, the Champions League was won and AC Milan won the title unexpectedly. The 35-year-old coach Massimo Romano helped the veteran Serie A giants lift their sixth Champions League trophy in the club's history. Massimo himself broke the record held by the 36-year-old Villalonga in 1956 and became the youngest manager in history to win the Champions League. (The record holder after the Champions League restructuring is 38-year-old Pep Guardiola)
The next day, the Real Madrid assistant sent a message to the Real Madrid manager:
Nicolas Flores didn't reply to the assistant coach until the evening:
The sun is scorching in Marbella day by day, and another summer has arrived.
What's different this summer?
As early as a week ago, some European players from major clubs went to the national team for training camps, and the European Championship co-hosted by 13 countries is about to kick off.
As the manager of the club, I can have a little bit of free time.
But I hate holidays. Nicholas took a sip of whiskey on the rocks, greeted the sunset, and closed his eyes.

On June 1, Kristen Lue officially returned to Harrington Training Base.
As she drove into Harrington in an Audi, her car was crowded with reporters from around the world in front of and behind her car, and Sky Sports scrolled for more than a dozen seconds of her return to Harrington.
Christine is seen walking out of the car in a tracksuit, sunglasses and a baseball cap, and her short hair, which was talked about at the beginning of the year, is almost shoulder-length. She was well-proportioned and not much different from before, and she didn't answer any of the questions shouted by reporters, just waved to the crowd.
Two hours later, she will hold a press conference in Harrington's media room. This is the most high-profile football news in recent times, apart from the preparations for the European Championship in various countries.

According to the news and photos released by the media in the last half month, Benjamin Hamilton, the most high-profile Championship player last season and the man who helped Fulham be promoted to the Premier League, is on holiday in the United States.
Like him, there are a number of new stars who have not been called up to the national team, such as QPR striker Phil Warren, who was loaned to Crystal Palace in the second half of last season.
However, there is still a lot of news about the two London boys.
The former has been close to Liverpool throughout May in England's major media outlets, with his agent, the famous Steve Baker, declaring that the well-born Imperial College sophomore has been a Liverpool fan since he was a child and that it would be a great honour for him to play for the Reds.
The latter has been favoured by a number of Premier League teams, including Crystal Palace, for his excellent performances at Crystal Palace throughout the first half of 2019. Watford want him, Leicester City want him, and even Everton, who haven't finished in the top four this season, want him. Phil Warren, the bad boy who became the new favorite of the Premier League for a while, rarely kept silent.
But just an hour after Kristen Lue returned to Harrington, Phil said on his Twitter and Instagram:
Although there were countless likes, retweets and comments in an instant, Phil, who was sitting in front of the computer with his daughter in his arms, was a little drumming in his heart.
What if I'm not in the Bitch plans for the new season? She hasn't been in touch with me since she came back. He dangled his daughter in his arms, and finally made the little princess, who was less than half a year old, cry.
Phil immediately scrambled, "Don't cry, Tianna, Daddy is wrong, don't cry, the babysitter is still half an hour away, are you going to cry for half an hour?" Daddy sings to you, 'no hush little baby don't you cry everything's going onnaalrightdaddy's going to buy yoockingbird, i'mma give you the orld, i'mma.' buiamond ring for you i’mma sing for you i’llanything for yousee you smile andthat mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shine, i’mma break that birdies neck, i’llbackthe jeeler ho soldtoand make him eat every carat don't ** ith dad'yo, Tianna, you're laughing, do you like this song, then I sing it often, hush little tiana don't you cry"
Another hour later, Benjamin Hamilton, who was rumored to be on holiday in the United States, appeared in West London, Harrington Training Base, wearing white shoes, white shorts and white polos.
A reporter immediately posted a photo on Twitter.
Fans ridiculed-
Immediately, another reporter updated the picture, and Benjamin Hamilton did appear in a white lambo.

The name plate of the office was replaced with Christin, the office was cleaned, and the private shower room that Lu Lingti had many times had been built a year earlier, but at the cost of the office of Assistant Tim Luiz being moved upstairs.
Lu Ling turned his head and pouted and said to Tim, "I'm so sorry. Do you want to move it down? That would be more convenient. ”
Tim shrugged, of course, it would only be more convenient to discuss various things. Because Benitez had brought his assistants in the past, it was natural for him to move down next door to two Spaniards for the past year.
"Do you see any changes other than your chattering private shower and being more spacious?" asked Tim.
"I'm not sure. Lu Ling said and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window was the training ground she was most familiar with. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and when you looked at the grass from this angle and distance, it looked like a green velvet carpet. She remembers that the lawn keepers in Harrington were always dedicated. She watched for two seconds, then turned her head and her gaze fell on the tactical board.
Tim took two steps and helped her push over. The front of the tactical board was wiped clean, and Lu Ling turned it casually, but the other side was densely packed.
"It seems that the clean-up people also missed something. Tim laughed.
Lu Lingchong smiled at the assistant teacher and looked at the content carefully.
It's all Tim's handwriting. Tim's handwriting is impeccable, even if it's shorthand, a little sloppy, it's good-looking.
This is the plan for the last game against West Ham. He used the 343 formation they had discussed over the phone, with John O'Connor and Babaka acting as the two wing-backs, ensuring that all the space at the back was locked in while also ensuring fluidity on both flanks. Throughout the game, both flanks were feints, and almost all the real goal-threatening opportunities in the field came from the middle. Leon Ferreira and Ian Parker scored a goal each to win the game 2-0 and finish fourth.
Lu Ling watched that game at home, and she watched it with trepidation, even more nervous than when she was on the sidelines. Because the score was 1:0 at one point, as long as the hammer scored one at any time, QPR may only get one point. A draw means they are likely to be pushed to fifth by Manchester City, who are already 3-1 up on the other side. Fortunately, in the 82nd minute, Leon created a great free-kick opportunity near the penalty area, which caused chaos in front of goal, and finally the Scot stabbed in the chaos to seal the three points and seal next season's Champions League qualification.
At that moment, it must have been like a death sentence for the Manchester City fans on the other side.
"You're doing a great job, Tim. Lu Ling said sincerely.
Tim smiled, "Thank you, this result is the result of everyone's hard work." Thanks to your help too. ”
"I just made some suggestions......"
"You know how important those recommendations are. Tim paused, "Being overly modest is hypocritical, and that doesn't quite look like you, Christine." After he said this, he saw that the coach was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be a sudden distance between them, so he quickly added jokingly, "Although you are a little hypocritical at times, you have always been yourself in front of me." ”
Lu Ling shook his head and smiled, "I really think you've done a great job." ”
Tim glanced at her, her gaze was genuine, and he smiled gently at her, "That's important to me. ”
"It's also important to me that you choose to stay. Lu Ling raised his hand and looked at his watch, the press conference will be held soon, and another person will be here soon, and there are quite a lot of things today. She remembered something again, "By the way, you just said there was a change......
That's when Tim remembered the stubble.
Yes, a change, although it can only be considered a small thing, he thinks Christine will definitely like this change.
Lu Ling followed Tim around a few corners and was taken out of a room by him.
"Here I remember it used to be...... Playroom. "Some ping-pong tables, football tables and whatever.
Tim smiled mysteriously and pushed the door open.
Lu Ling's eyes widened.
Then, she walked in, and after a few seconds, she turned back to the TA and asked, "Is that what I thought?"
Tim nodded.
This is the introduction of Rafa Benitez and it is not something very unusual, with multiple clubs having such facilities. It's a team-wide video library, and every player in the first team has their own database here, and if the players want to see it, they can just click on their name on the screen, and their personal highlights will come out.
Lu Ling really became excited. She turned on the huge screen and picked a player, the team's first goalkeeper, Hans Bachmeier – who went on to be named in the Premier League Team of the Year this season.
Lu Ling looked at Hans's various reactions in front of the door on the screen, and asked again: "I guess they don't really come over." Who are the frequent visitors?"
"Glenn, Ian, and Hans, Hans is a little less than the two of them. ”
"It's pretty much what I thought. Lu Ling clicked on the screen and pressed to pause. She looked up at the clock on the wall, and at the same time, her cell phone rang and someone outside the door was shouting her name.
Lu Ling and Tim looked at each other and smiled, they both knew that it was Benjamin Hamilton who had arrived. 166 Reading Network
