371 Chapter 371

Monica didn't know how to put pen to paper, she sighed several times at her painting and put the pen down. When she got up, she glanced at the studio clock and thought it was almost time for her husband to come back. By the time she got downstairs, the front door was open.

"Hi dear, I'm home. โ€

It was Tim's voice. Monica answered and walked over to the man. They hugged and kissed and whispered a few words. Tim's laughter rang out.

This laughter woke up Lu Ling on the sofa. She slowed down, slowly stood up, and yawned.

"I'm so sorry, I fell asleep. Tim, you're back, oh Monica, are you done?" Lu Ling said.

Monica shook her head, "I'm sorry, I've been in the studio for two hours without any progress. You must be bored. โ€

Tim took off his coat, and he thought it was a funny day. He and Monica invited Christine to their home early for Christmas. This year is different from previous years, firstly, because he and Monica are busy with work, so they won't be with the family, and secondly, Christine actually agreed. She came in the afternoon, and after she had a cup of coffee with Monica, Monica went back to the studio to paint, and Christine ...... It looks like he's slept soundly on the couch at home.

Lu Ling yawned again, "It's okay, I had a good night's sleep. โ€

Tim hung up his coat and walked to the living room, where there were a few newspapers on the coffee table, presumably asleep watching from it.

"You've been working on the tape that Mr. Bielsa gave you lately?" asked Tim.

Lu Ling nodded, "I've been watching, and I've gained a lot." โ€

"Saw it late last night?"

"It seems like yes. โ€

"You talk first, I'll go see the oven. Monica said.

"We quickly went over to help. Tim looked at his wife, and Monica smiled at him, telling him not to worry.

"I can oil the turkey, if ......" Lu Ling echoed.

Monica looked back, "Honey, we don't eat turkey. โ€

"Thank God. Lu Ling patted her chest exaggeratedly, in fact, she had always disliked eating that stupid big bird.

Tim picked up a newspaper on the coffee table, it was two weeks before the Daily Mail. The front-page image features Patrick Amber holding a golden ball. In fact, all of these newspapers, without exception, carried Patrick as a front-page figure.

He is the fifth Ballon d'Or winner in English football history.

Although there was no suspense about his award from the moment he won the Champions League six months ago, when he actually held the Golden Ball, it still made the English media go crazy.

The other thing that is no doubt is next month's FIFA award โ€“ if nothing happens, Patrick Amber will win England's first World Footballer of the Year, and yes, no Englishman has ever won it since it was born in 1992 and 2019.

Tim put the newspaper down and picked up the latest one, with another topic on the back page.

Nicolas Flores.

The Real Madrid boss has already won the Christmas title in La Liga, and that's not all, this season, in the league and the Champions League, Real Madrid are still undefeated.

Nick Flores' Real Madrid have been the most unstoppable team in all of Europe this season. In the league, they only drew against Barcelona and won the rest, and won five wins and one draw in the Champions League group stage, easily qualifying for the top spot.

The combination of Gabriel Jesus, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. under his command has combined to score 69 goals for Real Madrid โ€“ in less than half a season.

Last month, the young Real Madrid boss announced the end of his romance with the girl in front of Tim after the national derby, after which Kristen Luke's agent finally issued a statement, saying that Kristen Luke is still on leave and will determine her whereabouts in the coming months, and she will not talk about her private life.

Whether or not the two young football coaches talk openly about their private lives, the media and fans will not let go of any details. It's just that people found that the two didn't seem to start a new relationship after they broke up.

Serie A giants Inter Milan are also interested in former QPR boss and last season's reigning Premier League champion coach Kristen Luke, although it seems that Luke is closer to Atletico.

There has been a lot of buzz about this in the past few days, and even in Harrington, the players are discussing it. They speculate that Christine is more likely to choose to go to La Liga.

Phil also told Tim, "The boss is definitely going to Atletico Madrid, is that right? If she goes there, I want her to kill Real Madrid and Barcelona." โ€

At the pre-match press conference for Boxing Day, former Atletico Madrid boss and current Chelsea manager Simeone was asked: "What do you think of Kristen Luke coming to charge Atletico Madrid?"

Simeone, who has been on a positive note and Chelsea are still leading the Premier League, replied cheerfully: "I don't know if it's true, but if it is, I think it's a new opportunity for both Atletico and Atletico, and I'm looking forward to meeting in the Champions League one day." โ€

"Timโ€”" Lu Ling shouted.

Tim looked up from the newspaper, "We've had a bad season, have we?"

Lu Ling lowered her eyes, and her gaze fell on the Premier League standings.

After 18 rounds, defending champions Queens Park Rangers are in sixth place with 33 points. There is a gap of 5 points from the fourth position.

Of course, it is not without good news, QPR qualified for the Champions League group stage, although there were some stumbles. At least, Rafa Benitez did a good job on the other side.

However, they will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals next February, who have finished second in Group E. This signing is really bad, although this year's Bayern is not as strong as in the past, but it is still a difficult opponent for QPR.

"Don't talk about football today, at least not about QPR. It's time for us to help Monica. Lu Ling said.

Tim put down the newspaper, "Well, if you say so. โ€

Lu Ling's last gaze fell on the newspaper that Tim had put down, and only a corner was exposed, and there was a clear picture of Patrick Amber holding a golden ball and a soccer ball in his hand.

She knew that football, and she wrote a sentence on that football that year:

hat-trick hero today๏ผŒ ballon dor inner tomorro

โ€”โ€”christin

Today's hat-wearing hero, tomorrow's Mr. Golden Globe.

- Kristen Ling-Lu

It only took three and a half years for that pretty boy.

Outside the window, the cold wind was whirling and there was a light rain.

And another man celebrates his thirty-eighth birthday today.

But that has nothing to do with her.
