209 Chapter 209
Everton's attacking and pressing continues, but the QPR is no longer out of control.
Glenn Mitchell got the ball at the back and this time it was Romelu Lukaku who pounced.
Glenn didn't do anything, passing the ball to Ian and moving quickly behind Lukaku himself. The two made a very calm and precise one-two at the back.
It was risky, but they succeeded.
Lu Ling's tactical arrangement began to show its effect.
Mensah suddenly received the inside and Mario Fernandez suddenly rushed in from the outside.
In the back line of the QPR, there was a split second of change of position, Mensah and Mario swapped places!
Mario Fernandez's ability to dribble from the back is a much-needed element in this game when John O'Connor is out.
And the Brazilian used to play at right-back, starting this time at centre-back, while Mensah, who played at right-back, was not good at attacking and putting Everton's left-back Jose Gaja under pressure.
At this time, Mario was quickly rounding Gaia, accelerating from the sideline and running all the way to the sideline.
Glenn's pass was delivered in time, and in the face of Ross Barkley's back, Mario made a quick run down the right and dodged wide.
Patrick had already moved over to answer Lu Ling's previous instructions.
Glenn's resurgence allowed QPR to break through from the back, and the offense showed up for chance.
Mario hands the ball to Patrick. Patrick half-turned, and started to start in the mid lane.
Vanderberg was in the way again.
Instead of simply speeding up to try to break through, Patrick rushed at his opponent in small steps.
Vanderberg had already quickly dismounted and immediately used his body sideways to prepare for the slot.
The two touched the ball at the same time.
The ball flies.
And then......
Lu Ling watched from a very close distance, and didn't react for a moment.
Patrick picked the ball slightly with his foot for a split second between the two, only slightly off the ground. But in this way, Van der Bergh's scramble can only touch the ball, but he cannot control where the ball goes.
Once the ball bounced into the air, Patrick couldn't fully control the ball, but he slammed into his chest smartly, and the ball hit Vanderberg's raised arm.
The Dutch boy was stunned, he must have thought of the second yellow card that a deliberate handball might bring, and his movements froze.
In fact, Patrick doesn't know if Atkinson will be shown a second yellow card, and by the scale of this one, it probably won't be given.
But he took advantage of Van der Bergh's stagnation, touched the ball again, and quickly passed his opponent.
It's a momentary instinctive reaction that can't be replicated.
This is like a fighting master, the wisdom bursts out in an instant in a few tenths of a second, and it is immediately cashed in.
Lu Ling remembers asking Pate if he was deliberately using the Brazilian's classic gesture to provoke Jesus, and he replied that it was not.
But perhaps, Pat's subconscious is to provoke and despise his opponent. Especially when the opponent is very tough, which inspires his fighting spirit......
It is difficult for a talented person to suppress such a desire.
She herself is not like that.
Patrick passed Vanderberg, who was standing still.
The ball was brought to the penalty area, and Patrick suddenly distributed it to Leon before cutting forward into the box.
Surprisingly, Leon didn't choose to pass to Patrick.
In the face of compatriot Jimenez's up-and-forth, Leon opted to pass.
He pressed his center of gravity extremely low. Attach your upper body, and when your body is thrown to the right to the limit, you suddenly smash the ball with the heel of your right foot and force a change of direction to the left.
Jimenez was deceived, and this time the body flew in the opposite direction entirely.
Oh, Leon is also the type that the stronger the opponent, the stronger he is, Lu Ling almost forgot.
The cold wind in Goodison Park lifted Leon's long hair, and his young face with a strong Latin style was full of energy.
Leon stepped past but Everton's right-back Coleman was quick to make up for it.
There's no room for feet, but that's okay.
Patrick, Campbell, and Vargas are all rushing into the box.
But Leon made another surprise move. He snapped the ball back to the top of the arc.
Fooled everyone, including the three team-mates who cut in forward, as well as the Everton players who chased them.
At this time, the front of the forbidden area was empty.
Except for the captain of the QPR, Ian Parker. The Scottish red-haired boy rushed up at high speed.
Previously in the backcourt, after cooperating with Glenn, Ian began to press forward, and during this time, he quickly commanded Jacob to fill his position.
Ian's heavy cannon was discharged, which was the response finally given by QPR after several setbacks in this field through the efforts of many people-
The score became 1:1.
In the 42nd minute, a goal from QPR captain Ian Parker helped Queens Park Rangers equalise.
Equalising before the end of the first half, it's so important!
The Scot didn't celebrate in ecstasy, he pulled up the captain's armband, high-fived his team-mates, and then raised his arms to the visiting stands.
There, the song was ringing.
ianparker,ourcaptain,h,

redheadian!
redheadian!!
redheadian!!!
Ian Parker was our captain and he wore blue and white
When someone wanted to sign him, he said "fuck you"!
Redhead Ian!
Redhead Ian!!
Redhead Ian !!
In the stands of the visiting team, Ron Smith sang loudly and patted his chest!
After Lu Ling and Tim hugged hard, he tilted his head and looked at Nick on the other side. She couldn't read his expression, and his body language of disappointment was only for a moment, and soon he was back in the dugout to talk to the coaching staff and jot down something in his notebook.
There's still a lot of time, Nick.
And this team is really a brand new team, as you said.
Sky Sports' footage was given to the Everton boss immediately after the QPR players, coaches and fans who celebrated.
The handsome faces of the Spaniards were extremely cold in the cold wind and snowflakes. And his gaze on the pitch was deep. He was undoubtedly thinking.
Started all over again. He doesn't feel cold. His palms were hot.
He looked at his watch, and there were still a few minutes before the first half would be over.
****
After Ian equalised, both players looked a little tired in the final stages of the first half and did not have many threatening chances.
The half-time whistle blew and the players from both sides entered their respective dressing rooms.
Lu Ling called the team's analyst Jimmy Grant and asked him about the situation in the first half.
As a result, Everton's half-time run was the highest in the Premier League so far this season. And the QPR's active mistakes in the defensive area are also the highest value of the team so far in the season.
It was a really tough half.
But that goal inspired everyone.
Lu Ling did not rush into the player area of the locker room. But she could clearly hear Ian cheering up his teammates with a calm voice.
This Scottish boy has indeed grown from a flustered Premier League rookie to a real team leader.
When Ian's voice disappeared, Lu Ling walked to the middle.
'Everton put a lot of pressure on us in the first half, but I want to say thank you for showing me what a real footballer looks like! Glenn, you're great, you didn't let me down! ”
Glenn didn't speak, but looked at the manager and nodded heavily.
Lu Ling noticed that the Yorkshire boy had made eye contact with her from beginning to end, and did not lower his eyes or bow his head as usual.
That's it!
Lift your chin!
She looked around at all the players and continued: "That goal, it was the result of everyone's collective effort, it proves that we are a real team......!
Lu Ling and Tim began to explain the deployment of the second half as quickly as possible on the tactical board. Lord Lu Ling said, and Tim added a few words from time to time.
Finally, before the players were ready to return to the field, Lu Ling dragged Ian and Patrick aside.
She first said to Ian, "You're going to be a great captain, I have no doubt." ”
The red-haired boy looked at the boss and smiled, nodding, a little shy, but his eyes were confident.
Lu Ling patted him on the shoulder. Ian walked out of the locker room.
Then, she looked at Patrick.
At this moment, she is no longer his Tina, she is just his head coach.
"Pate, don't be affected by that penalty, don't be affected by anything. In the second half, let the Liverpudlians see what the best players in the world look like! It's your time! Patrick Amber's age!" The QPR boss said this deliberately louder, she wanted the passing players to hear, she wanted them to feel it too-
This team has the best footballers on the planet!
Patrick stared at the girl he loved, her gaze steadfast and his blood boiling.
"I never let you down, you know, not this time," he said. And ......" he said, glancing at his teammates as they walked out of the locker room, lowering his voice, "baby, this is our time. 166 Reading Network
