The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has announced the shortlist for this season's awards.

PFA Player of the Year Candidates: Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Andrea Zivkovic (Manchester City), Ousmane Dembele (Everton), Romelu Lukaku (Everton), Paul Pogba (Manchester United), Leon Ferreira (QPR)

PFA Best Young Player nominees: Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Andrea Zivkovic (Manchester City), Ousmane Dembele (Everton), Leon Ferreira (QPR), Ian Parker (QPR), Hans Bahmeier (QPR)

Tim looked at the shortlist on the official website of the PFA, and there were three candidates in the QPR, which was not bad. But he's heard that a lot of Premier League players want to pick up Trek Amber. However, the PFA's rules are that players who have left the Premier League cannot be candidates.

In recent months, the name Patrick-Amber seems to have been erased little by little in the Premier League. But sometimes, looking at the names in the scorers and assists charts, Tim can't help but make an assumption about how many goals he would have scored in the league this season if Patrick hadn't left, how many assists would he have provided, and that might be a number that will go down in Premier League history.

Tim looked back at the head coach behind his desk. She's still on the phone. The previous call was with Alice Brown. She's already told him about it, but those changes should wait until the end of the season. The current call is with the reserve coach Tom Sr., she watched a reserve team game yesterday, there are a few players she wants to know, and she is asking Tom Sr.

She had finished understanding the situation and hung up.

She looked up and met the TA in the air. She smiled a little, "I think when Monica says you're a feline, she must be referring to domestic cats and not the big cats in the wild." So, Tim, what did you observe?"

Tim shook his head, "You've been ...... lately It's kind of weird. Sometimes the whole morning is silent, sometimes ...... For example, right now, it seems that I am in a good mood. ”

She shrugged, "It's hard for me to say I'm in a good mood, I think you should be like me." ”

Tim smiled wryly, indeed. He closed the official website of the PFA, opened another program, and then handed the iPad to the manager, "This is just sent by the technical department, you want Liverpool's video offensive system analysis this season." "Liverpool are opponents in the next round of the Premier League. The next round is Aston Villa, who are bottom of the league.

She took it and immediately looked at it.

The TA was about to go back to his office, and before he could go out, he heard her phone vibrating. He looked back. She glanced at her phone, and didn't seem to want to pick it up, but finally picked it up.

The whole Barcelona squad arrived at Liverpool yesterday afternoon, and Patrick Amber, who could not play for Barcelona in the Champions League, was not accompanied by the Englishman, just like the last time Barcelona visited the Etihad, and the Englishman stayed at Barcelona.

Nicholas has just finished a meeting with the coaching staff, the last official meeting before tonight's big game. His long-awaited Champions League quarter-final kicks off at Goodison Park five hours later. If you can make it to the last four of the Champions League...... As he walked out of the conference room, he found that he had already begun to get excited. It's like going back to the days of the players. The excitement of stepping on the turf, he hadn't had in a long time.

With this feeling of excitement, he suddenly felt a fluster. He has slept very little in the last week and drank a lot of coffee and energy drinks.

Juan and the first-team coach were behind him exchanging some thoughts on the game and the form of the players they observed earlier in the day.

"Nick, I'm going to the restaurant, do you want me to bring you a cup of coffee?" Juan's voice came from behind Nicholas.

The Everton manager looked back, "No, thank you. ”

He picked up the pace and left the coaching staff behind.

As he walked, he took out his phone and dialed the number.

The wait was a bit long, but she took it.

"I don't have much time, so rest assured, I won't delay you for too long. You're probably still mad at me......" He spoke quickly, but he still froze for a moment, and she didn't hang up or say anything, so he slowed down, "I admit I said something very excessive that day, I guess I just don't want to watch you do something stupid...... If you have to do that, even though I still think it's stupid......"

"Thanks, Nick. She interrupted him," ...... There's no need for it. ”

"What?" Nicholas thought he had misheard.

It was only after a moment that her cold voice reached his ears again.

He gave up. Good luck tonight! I've got something to do, goodbye. ”

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Everton lost 1:2 at home to Barcelona.

Barcelona opened the scoring through a Neymar free-kick, but Everton equalised in the second half through Ross Barkley's long-range strike. But near the end of the game, Messi, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared at the top of the penalty area, he magically dribbled away from three people in a tight area, and then scored with his right foot.

It was an extremely bad result for Nicholas, who were given two away goals at Goodison Park against a strong opposition and travelled to Camp Nou a week later, with the Toffees facing an extremely difficult task.

In other matches, Atletico drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich, Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 and Porto beat Real Madrid 0-2.

The English media have generally expressed pessimism about Everton's prospects of qualifying and believe that only Chelsea can keep the fire alive for the Premier League in the Champions League. The Spanish media cheered as Barcelona and Real Madrid both won and Atletico Madrid did not allow title favourites Bayern Munich to score on the road.

For Premier League fans, the good news is that both English teams that are still in the Europa League have won. Liverpool beat Juventus 3-2, who had previously eliminated QPR, while Arsenal beat La Liga side Celta Vigo 4-2 away.

And in the 34th round of the Premier League that week, QPR got a refreshing big victory. They won 4-0 away at Aston Villa, with Leon Ferreira and Artem Dzyuba both scoring twice.

But the pressure on the QPR to stay in the table hasn't gone away – they remain third, with Everton, Manchester United and Liverpool all winning, while Manchester City skipping a round due to their participation in the FA Cup semi-finals remains a huge threat to the QPR position.

León have been happy of late, in good form and have already scored 25 goals in the league, although it may be difficult to match Gabriel Jesus' 30. And at the moment it looks like he has a good chance of replacing Luis Suarez, who has not recovered from a serious injury, as Uruguay's main centre-forward at the World Cup.

The laughter and laughter returned to Harrington's training ground, but it was still presented in a measured way. There are still four rounds left in the league, but everyone knows that the next two rounds of matches against Liverpool and Manchester City will be the final battle of life and death in the absolute sense.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds are currently fourth, just one point behind the QPR, while Manchester City are six points behind the QPR in fifth with two games in hand.

This means that if they play Liverpool in the 35th round and Manchester City in the 36th round, they can lock up the Champions League place and even rekindle the hope of winning the title.

But if there is a huge slip-up......

Lu Ling pondered.

All her plans will be in vain this summer, and her fate will be like that of the Northern Irishman (Rogers) or that Scotsman (Moyes), or worse than them.

Of course, for now, her fate is firmly in her own hands. Mensah has returned, and Glenn is nearing recovery. Among her key rivals, Liverpool and Everton are both playing European games and have more injuries than QPR.

Everton. Nick. The pressure on him is no less than hers, maybe not the same existential pressure as hers, but she understands the feeling of being coveted at the top of the table, and the extremely difficult situation in the Champions League.

Lu Ling did not watch Everton beat Barcelona in the first leg, she only followed the result that night. But on the bus back from Birmingham last Saturday, Tim chatted with her about the game.

Everton had been in their best form in recent games, but the 30-year-old Messi easily single-handedly destroyed their defence in the final moments. That's something that no manager can predict, and that's true for Knick, and it's true for Enrique.

They talked about how a star can sometimes break down a system with ease.

Nick must be having a hard time, she thought. Oh no, it's Pep Guardiola who is really uncomfortable with the situation.

On TV, the Champions League theme song has already sounded.

Lu Ling opened a bottle of red wine, leaned back on the sofa, and took a big sip of the bottle. When she puts down the heavy red wine bottle, she sees Patrick Amber on TV. Her hands shook a little.

After the national derby, he scored again without doing the iconic celebration that followed him for almost two years.

When asked by the Spanish media, he just said lightly: "Yes? I may have forgotten." ”

On television, he sat in the stands at the Camp Nou with the suspended Mascherano and the injured Paco Alcacer. He wore a beard and a pink plaid shirt. The camera swept over his face, his eyes. He looked a little bad. Just like her.

She heard the BTSPORT commentator laugh and say: "Amber definitely wants to be on the pitch, after all, he didn't beat Flores in his QPR. ”

He lowered his head and seemed to be looking at his phone. And the camera has returned to the stadium.

On the sidelines, Nick and Enrique were hugging. They barely chatted, just patted each other on the shoulder and walked to the dugout.

Lu Ling picked up the red wine bottle and took another sip.

The screen showed the two teams starters, and she pressed the timeout. Barcelona lined up in their usual 433 formation, with Messi, Neymar and Raphinha forming the front line. And Everton is 4231. Van der Bergh has recently returned and is not in the league, but this one is a start. Ross Barkley and Ousmane Dembele were also in the starting line-up, while Romelu Lukaku, who had just recovered from injury, was on the bench.

There was a peculiar circumstance that Everton did not field any strikers today.

No striker. Nick had never used it before.

According to her speculation, Nick wants to maximize the midfield competition with Barcelona while strengthening the mobility of the front court press. And Enrique probably wants to use the running Raphinha to connect the front and back to break Everton's forward press.

Something flashed through Lu Ling's mind, which seemed to give her a little inspiration to play Manchester City.

She picked up the remote control, pressed it forward, and followed the live stream.

Just off the tee, she received a message on her phone. She grabbed her phone, her eyes still fixed on the TV.

She glanced down at her phone, which froze for several seconds.

[Do you see me?]

【nicepinkshirt.】

【What are you wearing?】

[Gray sweater. 】

【good.】

She didn't reply, putting her phone aside. 166 Reading Network
