Yu Zixiang stared at Gabriel Jesus' eyebrows. Unbeknownst to the Brazilian, he was talking about a recent hit movie with a fluttering eyebrow. In the process, the Real Madrid left-back, while boasting that his Portuguese is quite good, recalled Patrick's teasing of Gabriel's eyebrows: "It's like two caterpillars arguing". It's really like that. Yu Zixiang thought.

It didn't take long for Yu Zixiang to lose interest in Gabriel's eyebrows, just as he wouldn't have been squatting on the ground to study insects when he was younger. He wondered if he would be able to find some time to meet the new German chick during the international break. At the moment, they have only had one appointment, and it is going well, and he likes her long legs......

Gabriel finally sensed the absent-mindedness of the English, and he had no appetite to continue talking. There are a lot of Asians in Brazil, especially on the streets of Rio. But Gabriel didn't have any Asian friends when he was a teenager, probably because he didn't meet someone who loved to play football. The Asian kid on the other side is a very funny person. He found out when he was still playing for Manchester City and Yu was still playing for QPR. For example, Yu will dance a strange dance after scoring the ball, although it is strange, but Yu's sense of rhythm and flexibility are very good.

Yu Zixiang cleared his throat, ready to find an excuse to slip away. In fact, there is no need to make excuses, he does need to catch a plane. He should be able to see Pat today, and Ian might be a little late, after all, the guy is back in Scotland. He still misses them, even though he had only called them last night. But he wasn't going to tell the two fools that he missed them, or they would humiliate him together and laugh at him for being alone in Madrid. Hmph, that's because they don't know that Madrid's nightlife is much richer than damn London.

"Gabi. Yu Zixiang called kindly, "I have to go to the airport." ”

Gabriel nodded, "Of course, of course." I wish you all the best in England. ”

So, Yu Zixiang hugged Gabriel and left the locker room.

It's evening in Madrid at the end of August, and it's still summer, but it's especially hot today. Yu Zixiang walked out while rapping, his steps were light and rhythmic. He raised his wrist again and looked at his watch, the time was not very tight. When he looked up again, he saw the manager.

Nicholas had just come out of the gym. He had finished his bath, but the pain in his muscles had left him in a trance. He also saw Yu Zixiang. He smiled at his left-back and asked in Spanish: "Are you going back to London today?"

Yu Zixiang also smiled and replied to him in Spanish as well, "Yes, Mr. Flores." I'll see you in a week, I think. He said, after counting the time, it could be more than a week.

"Okay, be careful. I mean, don't get hurt. Nicholas suddenly changed his English.

After changing to English, Yu Zixiang became verbose. Even if he was good at Spanish and Portuguese, he was always better at English. Moreover, only by speaking English can he play to his sarcastic strengths. Everything is fine in Madrid, but no one understands his humor, except for the Spaniard, who coached in England for a few years. But Mr. Flores only listened quietly, and did not respond to his words, which was a little different from usual. He no longer had a smile on his face, showing neither boredom nor interest in his topic. Maybe the boss is in a hurry to go back to the office or home, Zixiang thought. So he cut off his words. However, he remembered something again and said hesitantly, "Pierre played well at Everton, I watched him play QPR. I'm happy for him. ”

Nicholas's brow moved. He is not surprised, Zixiang will certainly watch the QPR game. In fact, this guy has shown in public more than once that he is still a supporter of QPR. Not to mention, that match was a comeback battle for his best buddies. The Real Madrid boss chuckled, "I watched that game as well and Pierre satisfied me. ”

However, it was not a game for Pierre Junkay or his former club Everton. It was an exhibition match for the new 18th of the QPR.

Yu Zixiang pondered for a few seconds, looked at the manager, and asked curiously, "Will you pay attention to the situation of Everton and QPR?" These two Premier League teams are Nick Flores' old clubs.

The question sounds simple, but if asked at a press conference, Nicholas has to consider the motivation of the journalist who asked it. Zixiang, probably just curious, at most just a temptation. He had nothing to worry about. He wasn't going to lie to the boy, he had always liked him and trusted him.

"I miss the storms of England a lot. Nicholas said, remembering the many bad weather and what happened in those bad weather. "Every city in England I've been to has been a stormy city. Having lived there for a few years, I no longer wonder about the character and style of football of the British. Yes, when I have time, I'll keep an eye on those two teams. He shrugged his shoulders and joked, "At least compared to the two clubs in Manchester, or Liverpool and Arsenal, obviously I would like to see Everton or QPR win." ”

Yu Zixiang laughed heartily, "Oh yes, that damn weather, that's why I came to Madrid." ”

Nicholas patted the left back on the shoulder, "The right choice, boy. Well, see you later. ”

Yu Zixiang also said that he would see you later. He took a few steps and then turned back to look at the manager's back. The smile on his face gradually turned to helplessness. Perhaps, Mr. Flores missed more than the storms of England. Anyway, there's an idiot who misses more than just the bad weather in London when he's in Barcelona.

On August 31, the transfer deadline, Harrington's training base was exceptionally quiet. The only personnel change in QPR was completed earlier today. Thomas Lemar joined Liverpool for £71 million. Mauricio Pochettino's Reds have just suffered a home defeat to Arsenal and are now desperate for new signings.

At this point, the full list of QPR's first team for this season has been confirmed, and there will not be much change until the winter transfer window arrives. Three goalkeepers, eight defenders, eight midfielders and four strikers.

After three league games, the only team to win all of them is Arsenal. After Allegri moved to the Italian national team, German Thomas Tuchel took over as Gunners. QPR and Chelsea are both at the bottom of the table with seven points.

The QPR started the campaign with a hard-fought draw with Chelsea, a lucky win over Manchester City and a big win over Everton. 7 points is a satisfactory result for Lu Ling and the entire coaching staff. Club owner Nathan Nill also expressed his satisfaction. Moreover, with Patrick Amber and León Ferreira both returning, Marcelo seems to be adapting well, with the only regret being that Gonzalo Chica will remain suspended for two more rounds.

Lu Ling looked at the schedule behind him, and then closed his laptop. She prays her players will be fit after returning from the international break.

And now, herself, too, can take a short break.

Switzerland is a great place to visit.

If a reporter asks Kristen Lu if she thought of running into Nicolas Flores again at the annual European Coaches Summit in early September, the answer "never" must be a lie, and a terrible lie. It's just that she won't tell reporters that Massimo Romano is the main reason why she came to the shores of Lake Geneva again.

Lu Ling had never had close contact with this person before, which may be a bit unbelievable, but it was true. She was interested to know what the youngest Champions League winner in history was like. Considering Massimo is the talk of the year in European football, she thinks there is a good chance that he will come. And even if he didn't attend, she wouldn't have anything to lose by coming here. You might run into Nick. She figured she didn't need to avoid him anymore and went through the friendly in Los Angeles. Moreover, she may also meet Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, PSG coach - and Champions League group stage opponent Jose Mourinho, etc., it will be an interesting reunion. Besides, Sir Alex Ferguson and Mr Wenger are certainly there.

It's another sunny day in Nyon, and Lake Geneva is still in the warm sun. The combination of blue and white sky and brown spires is like a beautiful oil painting. The small cities of Europe are always so similar and have different shapes.

Before meeting the Italians, Lu Ling first met the Spaniards.

Nicholas wears a dark blue suit and no tie. Lu Ling knew that he didn't wear a tie on this occasion, which was more casual for him. However, according to what she knows about him, he will most likely conjure up a decent tie like magic when taking a group photo after the meeting. Now, with one hand in the pocket of his suit pants and a champagne glass in the other, he talks and laughs with other coaches. He shouldn't have seen her. Observing the long figure at this distance, Lu Ling suddenly realized that he had actually changed a little compared to the first time they met in the tavern. In addition to being more domineering, the years and busyness have also brought him some traces. She wondered if she was the same, if she had fine lines on her face, if she also made people feel too windy. Perhaps. If a person really has no traces of time on his body, she will feel strange, after all, it does not conform to the laws of nature. Oxidation is something that happens all the time on this earth, and antioxidants are just trying to delay it. But she must admit that the very act of growing old is sad. When she smelled her father's old age, the sadness lingered and could not be suppressed. If everything in the universe really exists and operates with the scientific knowledge that human beings can understand now, she can comfort herself that in fact, her father has never really disappeared, he has only become something else.

When Lu Ling looked away, he happened to see an Italian in the crowd. She was overjoyed and walked over to Massimo. She can "catch up" with Nick later. She wasn't worried about that. She even felt that, with his recent aggression on that phone call, he probably wouldn't let her have a leisurely afternoon. Maybe she will be directly mocked at the summit.

"I haven't had time to see that movie yet, but I've always loved Nolan's expression, I love the amount of information that explodes, and I prefer that Nolan doesn't care if you follow him or not. Nicholas said, taking a sip of champagne. His gaze drifted to the side, and he didn't turn his head in the end.

Social interaction plays an indescribable role in human activities, and even people who like and are used to solitude cannot be completely lonely. Otherwise, this person is probably crazy.

Lu Ling came to the conclusion that the main reason for her coming to this summit was social needs, while drinking her second glass of whiskey without ice. And the biggest significance of this summit itself is perhaps also here, a group of top football coaches together to get some closer. Please, no manager will say what he really understands about football at this summit.

First, that's something that a complete nerd would do, Lu Ling pondered for a moment, among the coaches she knew, Rafa and Bielsa were the most likely to do this kind of thing, and even they wouldn't do it;

So, this UEFA coaching summit is actually a bit boring. To Lu Ming's surprise, Nick never provoked any "war". There were no quarrels, and after the meeting they chatted in a group of people about football, food, movies, and gossip about who's who, where, and how much they were paid annually, and which player's personality was so unbearable that he should be sent to a mental hospital. Although people seem to be observing or exploring their current relationship in the process, the fact is that their current relationship is not intimate after the breakup, as the Spaniards always say, and they are not friends or anything like that.

Lu Ling never asked Nicholas if he didn't be friends with most of his girlfriends after breaking up, or if it was just her? Of course, it's not that she wants to be friends with her ex-boyfriends, that's a bit ridiculous. There are too many stories of unhappy breakups or unfinished feelings. Tim and Pat are exceptions.

She's just ......

At the bar of the hotel bar, under the dim light, she was a little emotional. After all, in the past, they were as close as soul mates, but now words and jokes are all illusions, and there is not a sincere greeting. She also knew that they were never good at getting together and breaking up. On another level, if they really get along like friends now, who would be fair? The dawn of Banus, with their acquiescence to say goodbye, had put an end to everything.

She took out her phone and looked at the time, it wasn't too late. She stared at her phone screen with a pale blue background and white bubbles. Tim once saw her screen and said she was "loyal", and of course she could hear his sarcasm, but it was just a coincidence. There are too many coincidences in this world. Sometimes, the screenwriter can't make up so many twists and turns. The phone screen went dark on its own. The phrase "kisstina" flashed through her head, and it was as if he was here. But she knows that the real truth is that he's mostly asleep now and has England tomorrow. She exhaled, and the smell of alcohol was strong. She looked into the corner.

There was a delicate white piano there, and a beautiful brown-haired girl sat behind the piano playing a very old tune. The sound of the piano is very suitable for the sound of the voice, not noisy or sleepy.

Lu Ling drank all the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and the bartender hurriedly came over to ask her if she still had a need. Knowing how much she was drinking, she smiled and shook her head. Two glasses of whiskey were enough to keep her awake until dawn. She thought that tomorrow she would spend the day on the shores of Lake Geneva and return to London in the evening. Her doctor told her not to stress herself too much, and she thought the same. If you're really passionate about doing something, you'll want to do it for a long time.

When she stood up, she saw the familiar figure. Short black curly hair, dark brown eyes, extremely short stubble, and a charming smile. She was stunned, wondering why she hadn't seen him before. She had no idea how long he had been there.

“deja vu.” Lu Ling said silently in his heart.

At this point, the bartender on the other side brought her a cup of Long Island Iced Tea, and pointed to the figure, smiling ambiguously and telling her that it was the sexy Mr. Latin.

Lu Ling said thank you to the bartender, and the bartender was about to turn around, but she called him back again, "Yipinto Carlsberg, to that gentleman, thank you." She said as she pulled out her credit card. I don't want the bartender to be embarrassed and say, "Sorry, ma'am, we don't have Carlsberg." She looked at the figure again, and he was looking at her. She hesitated, then said to the bartender, "Whatever beer, give him a pint." Then she handed over the credit card.

She didn't want to owe him a drink, she already owed him a suit. The stingy Nick Flores will make her compensate at any time.

Nicholas recently started dating. The female companion is of mixed Filipino-Portuguese descent, and her name is Andrea Andrade. They met at a family gathering. Andrea's mother is Filipino and is a professor at the same university as the Real Madrid manager's mother. Andrea is now twenty-seven years old, and Andrea is a well-known singer-songwriter. Andrea is musically talented. Andrea is smart and sexy. Andrea has a gentle personality. Andrea is a Real Madrid fan. Andrea is good at cooking. Andrea was welcoming......

"Oh, stop, Nick. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous, but I really don't think it's wise to talk to your ex about your current kissing skills or whatever. Halfway through the story, Long Island Iced Tea was halfway drunk, and Lu Ling interrupted Nicholas.

Nicholas raised his eyebrows and immediately smiled apologetically, "Actually, I'm not going to continue. You ask me how I'm doing, and I'm just answering your questions. ”

"Why am I always the one who dates later?" Lu Ling sighed half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Nicholas looked at her, then said slowly, "Perhaps you're more inclined not to be morally reprimanded. ”

"Does this have anything to do with morality? Define morality. And, would I care about so-called morality?"

Nicholas actually thought about it seriously. "You care, sometimes. Well, it has nothing to do with morality, you just ...... You. ”

Lu Ling turned his face away, with a faint smile on his face. That girl was talking about that song. She thought.

"Should auld acquaintancefot, and never broughtmind"

She turned her head to look at him, picked up her cup, and toasted him.

Nicholas stared into her eyes. Since he was a child, he loved to look into people's eyes, and there was always a lot of information in them. He really liked the sheer amount of information. Moreover, he also has a little secret, as a child he always thought that the world would stop functioning because he closed his eyes. He grew up knowing that the world didn't stop just because he closed his eyes. When he grew up, he met a girl who had as much information in her eyes as he was. He told his grandmother, Penny, that he liked her eyes so much. Grandmother lay in her old chair and swayed, saying I really wanted to meet that girl. Later, my grandmother saw her and said to him, "Nick, that girl is too dangerous, you should stay away." He thought it was funny, he was dangerous, and the girls should stay away when they saw him. He asked his grandmother why. Grandmother said because of her eyes. He argued, you haven't seen the innocence in her eyes. I didn't want my grandmother to be even more shocked when she heard about it, and then sighed. Grandmother said, that's more dangerous, silly boy.

It's ridiculous that Nick Flores would also be called a silly boy. It's ridiculous.

"Why are you staring at me, Nick?" she asked, tilting her head and smiling after drinking.

Nicholas did not look away and did not answer her question. He said, "You bought him back anyway." ”

Lu Ling wouldn't be naïve enough to think that Nicholas wouldn't talk about Patrick-Amber. She sighed softly, "Karma." Later, she joked, "I can't refuse a player like him." ”

Nicholas snorted softly and said in a strange accent, "I can refuse everything in the world except temptation." ”

"Oscar Wilde. Lu Ling chuckled. But she was stunned as soon as she finished speaking, and a picture suddenly appeared in her mind.

She looked in the mirror, and a boy was behind her, leaning against her, and she said, "Tina, you're seducing me. It turned out that the boy had been a temptation she couldn't resist from so early on.

"What do you remember?" Nicholas noticed the change in her expression, and his own face grew gloomy little by little.

Lu Ling shook her head, of course she couldn't tell him what she remembered. She was about to change the subject, but she had no inspiration, and in a trance, her eyes were as bright as stars, only to quickly dim again. She pondered and said, "Benjamin Hamilton......"

Nicholas knew what she was going to say, and he knew why her eyes were changing. He interrupted her coldly, "He plays like I do." "That rich boy, that twenty-year-old London boy, plays like he did eighteen years ago.

Calculated, elegant and calm.

"Oh, you know him. She smiled a little surprised. Then, she looked down at her cup of Long Island Iced Tea, the ice in which the ice was melting, and the outer walls of the glass were sweating. She picked it up and drank it up, forgetting to toast to him.

Nicholas watched her drink it all, already a little angry. And he had to ask that question. He knew the night was coming to an end.

"Why? Why don't you just want to admit that Narcissus tattoo is because of me?"

Her expression was shocked, obviously not expecting him to ask the question out of nowhere. She looked down in thought. When he looked up again, there was anger on his face, "Why? Why do you have to admit something I don't think so? We broke up, do you remember? it\'s nonever, we both chose never." ”

Nicholas felt powerless. Even if you concede three goals in the first half, you won't feel powerless. Because even if he concedes three goals, he will always have the next matchup.

Anger followed. He jerked to his feet. He's not a king, he's a joker. He couldn't tell her that marriage didn't mean anything to him, that the proposal was just a cheesy romantic procedure, and that he was willing to go through it for her. All he was looking for was an answer. Hopefully, she will give a firm answer. The face of the King of Spades on her damn playing card resembles a mog face (mocking face, Chapter 179). That's not a lack of security, it's a damn sign. Every time they were so close and so close, they reminded him that he was not "the chosen one" or "the special one".

He smiled indifferently, and then said arrogantly, "Since hamiltonlike that much, try not** him. (Oh, since Hamilton is so much like me, try not to sleep with him)"

Lu Ling also stood up. The anger in her eyes was like the churning waves of the night in the night. “jerk!” She spat out the word. She tried to hold herself, but her voice still sounded a little shaky.

He was dismissive, "Isn't that what you said about me when you first met me?" ”

Lu Ling then understood the meaning of this night. After all, it will end in a war. She stopped looking at him and said in a voice without warmth, "I take my words back, you're not a jerk, you're a complete asshole." ”

Then, she was gone.

Nicholas stared at the two empty wine glasses on the table. It's a fucking karma, but his and hers karma aren't beautiful at all. The blooming scarlet daffodils had withered.

But......

Babe, no matter how much you deny it, I know you know that Flores is Floer. 166 Reading Network
