This time, Nicholas put Patrick Amber back on the right side.

The reason is simple, Manchester United's left centre-back Daley Blind and left-back Ashley Young are on the way, which is what Nicholas sees as the weak side of Manchester United.

Patrick hasn't touched the ball much yet. Manchester United are now out of the top four in the Premier League, but that doesn't mean anyone can on their heads, that's obvious. They played with a pass-and-control style and the quality of the ball was good.

For most of the ten minutes since the start of the QPR, he has been on the defensive. Patrick has played at left-back, and his defensive ability is actually there, but since he sat firmly in the main force of QPR, neither Nicholas nor Christine has emphasized letting him defend.

At the moment, he is cruising in the right side of his own side. United played the ball into the box during the siege and after some scramble, the ball eventually fell to the feet of the United players. Juan Mata gives the ball to Anthony Martial on the wing. Anthony Martial came close to taking the ball out of two or three, but it was only in the past moment that QPR's left-back Yu Zixiang snatched the ball away.

Yu Zixiang almost didn't look up, and directly transferred to the right with a big foot. On this side of the pitch, Patrick was already activated.

The ball was a little too big, and Patrick ran while watching the ball fall route, but it wasn't a big problem. He sped two steps, leaped forward, and then flicked the ball out of bounds with his toes.

Defending him, Ashley Young pounced too hard and was caught off guard by being picked over the top of his head, and the whole man flew off the touchline.

The Manchester United fans closest to him couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.

In this round of the FA Cup, BTSport chose this one for live broadcast (of course, because it was Manchester United). Commentator Ian Darker was a little bit of a looker, "Oh, Amber got the ball, this kid has been playing well in the Championship lately, let's see what this kid can do!"

Patrick started cutting through the middle after this stoppage, and he saw Manchester United's veteran Michael Carrick moving a little sluggishly, and directly chose to accelerate past him, without even feintting. At this time, he was still ten meters away from the penalty area.

Manchester United's right centre-back Chris Smalling has dropped back quickly and he needs to look after Charlie Austin. And Daley Blind was still hesitating, he was hesitating whether to go up and press or retreat into the box. In the end, he chose the former.

Patrick caught a glimpse of Yu Zixiang on the left side of the flank who was already synchronized at high speed, but he chose to continue to lead to Blind, and touched the ball with the outside and inside of his left foot at a very fast pace to change direction, and Blind didn't realize what was happening.

Exclamations continued to ring throughout Old Trafford.

The oxtail of the left foot pierces the crotch!

In the flash of lightning, the boy wearing the No. 43 blue and white jersey had reached the penalty line, and then he kicked the goal-

The quality of the kick was not high, and it flew directly into the stands, but it shocked the fans and players of Manchester United into a cold sweat.

Commentator Ian Duck quipped Michael Owen to his guest, "You didn't do that for Argentina in 1998, right?"

Michael Owen laughs and says, "Honestly, he's one more guy than me!, but his shots aren't as good as I was at the time." ”

Patrick felt a little unbalanced the moment he hit the ball, and then looked in the direction of the goal, and without much emotion, he turned and walked back to his own half.

Lu Ling didn't expect that Pat could play this kind of trick in this kind of game. He was really improving every game, and she knew that the boy's attention was more focused than ever.

Throughout the first half, QPR didn't get the ball many times, only three times in total to hit United's penalty area, but all of them were done with Patrick Amber's personal dribbling. Basically, as soon as Patrick got the ball, the hearts of Manchester United fans were in their throats. In the first half, he made seven attempts, six of which were successful, with two shots on goal and a threatening kick for Charlie Austin.

Abby really doesn't have much interest in soccer games, and basically when Patrick isn't holding the ball, she's looking down and playing on her phone. She could probably see that her boyfriend's appearance was good, but it was limited to that.

She was a bit bored at half-time, with several United fans talking to her and regretting that she hadn't picked up the VIP table. The fans sitting in the back row came back from going to the toilet and she heard them talking about Pat.

"Hey, man, that's a nice Amber. When I saw the news about him before, I thought it was a brag from those reporters......"

"Oh my God, isn't it good? man, I tell you, I saw eighteen-year-old Ronaldo here, and I bet they don't make much difference. I want to shout, 'Fergiesignhimup!'

"Damn, you're exaggerating, you're just a bit of a talented kid. ”

"Do you want to bet?"

Abby couldn't help but glance back, the two middle-aged men didn't expect such a beauty sitting in front of them, and they all looked surprised. When Abby turned her head, she was very proud that they were talking about her man!

Hopefully in the second half Pat will score, the girl thought.

Manchester United dressing room.

Louis van Gaal has been under a lot of pressure lately. In just one month, it seems that the football media all over the world, Manchester United fans all over the world want him to leave Old Trafford. He's a very, very proud guy and he never wanted things to be like this.

The years have changed, he is no longer young, and he wants Manchester United to be his last stop. Then, if it was the last stop, he naturally hoped for a happy ending. Perhaps, though, the Dutch didn't think about it at all.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was actually not bad, and Ryan Giggs was a good assistant, his help with the harmony in the dressing room, his peptalk, including his understanding of his football philosophy, made what was already an extremely difficult situation just difficult.

Wayne Rooney was chatting with Ashley Young about QPR's No. 43 while drinking water, and the captain seemed to think it was a good boy.

Actually, it's not a very important game.

It's just that the Dutch lost too much in front. Fans buy tickets to support the team, not to see the losing streak. Manchester United fans, in particular, were spoiled by Alex Ferguson.

Van Gaal thought carefully about the situation in the first half, looked at the notes he had made, and did not think that anything needed to be changed. That's right, that No. 43 is worth noting, and he'll tell Ashley Young to pester him endlessly. But other than that, there aren't many attack points for QPR. Manchester United still have the absolute initiative.

This one won't lose, thought the Dutchman.

Giggs' peptalk seemed to have made a difference, with captain Wayne Rooney's echoing and encouragement getting the already tired players back on their feet.

In any case, no matter how tough the season will be, they are the proud Manchester United after all!

Nicolas and Van Gaal don't know each other very well. Met a few times at the coaching summit and that's it.

It's easy to be weird in the head coach position. There seems to be no absolute resemblance between any famous coach and another. Louis van Gaal stands out from the crowd. For example, taking out his dick directly in the locker room, I'm afraid only he can do it. For example, a few years ago, his speech after Bayern won the championship was almost like the reincarnation of a certain head of state.

The media called him the madman Van Gaal.

Crazy indeed, and a bit of an antisocial personality. Nicholas always had a lot of fun thinking about this person. It is unknown if his good friend Jose Mourinho is in front of the TV at the moment, but if so, Jose will definitely want QPR to win this game so that the Dutchman can push the Dutchman to the edge of the cliff again.

At half-time, he didn't say anything too much to the players. Peptalk was handed over to captain Nedham Onuoha. He just spoke to the assistant coach and the first-team coach about the first half.

Blind, as he expected, was defenseless in the face of Patrick's assault. However, United's players are highly focused, and there is always someone who can come back in time. Also, De Gea's skills are quite good, and Charlie can obviously score with a kick.

Patrick's last shot was indeed a little bit worse. Yu Zixiang's state is a little too excited this time, and because the opponent is Manchester United, the defensive task is relatively heavy, and it is not okay for him to be too aggressive, after all, there is already a Patrick who does not emphasize defense.

Charlie Austin is leaving recently and is playing a little absent-mindedly. Damn, he really needs Gomis!

But what Rice meant was that Gomis's side was still not easy to talk about. Rice was always suspicious of the player and was reluctant to give it his all, and kept urging him to choose other transfer targets, which is why they quarreled that day. But now, he needs Gomis! Of course, because this team is QPR, if it is a Premier League team, let alone a giant-level, even if it is a relegation team like Sunderland Villa, it will be a different situation.

Nicholas walked over to Patrick, he was fourteen or fifteen years younger than him, he was really young.

"The people watching you in the second half will be watching you more closely, do you know what to do?"

The manager's voice sounded above Patrick's head, a shrill voice, as if questioning his abilities or fueling his fighting spirit. He raised his eyes, "Yes, I know. ”

Yu Zixiang always felt that something was not right when he watched this scene, he personally liked Mr. Flores very much, not only because he promoted them, but also because the Spaniard was full of charisma.

But the chemistry between Pat and the boss wasn't quite right, and not after that Bristol game, it was before. However, when they chatted privately, Pat never said anything bad about Mr. Flores, but he was lukewarm. Then again, Mr. Flores is also a bit harsh on Pat. Although they will praise him, they will always have reservations.

Probably because these two are very proud guys. Yu Zixiang finally came to such a conclusion. Throughout the first half, he was excited, but he made frequent mistakes, and there was still time to think about this, he knocked his head and whispered to himself, "Concentrate!"

****

As it gets darker, the lights come on at Old Trafford and the Theatre of Dreams becomes even more fantastical.

Fans who went to the toilet and bought food and drink gradually returned to the front stands from the back lounge area. They kept talking about the No. 43 kid, with swear words, teasing and a little envy - when did QPR get such a good young player!?

Patrick and Lu Ling walked out of the players' tunnel side by side. The assistant coach was stressing to him about the last shot, the angle and the timing and so on.

He tilted his head and looked at the side of her face, she looked so strict, he thought. Walking to the door, he winked at Christine, looking very confident, "Oh, Tina, Tina Tina, just trust me." Then, without looking at her expression, he ran onto the field and touched the turf with his left hand as he crossed the sideline.

Come on, no one calls her Tina except Amber's family......

Lu Ling saw that Pat touched the turf again, and was already very sure that this was the lucky action of this child. In fact, he didn't make this move when he made his first appearance for QPR, about the start of the third league game. She smiled and wished him good luck.

The whistle blew for the second half.

There are no adjustments on either side for the time being. But soon, United fans discovered that QPR's pressing was more ferocious than in the first half.

Nicholas still wanted a little initiative. One point is enough, he doesn't sacrifice defense to do this.

With 64 minutes played, QPR captain Nedham Onoha cleared the ball in the crowd.

The ball fell to Rooney on the edge of the box, who spun around and took the ball in stride. He looked at Ashley Young on his left and was assigned to the wing.

Patrick was a little far away, but after noticing the look in the captain's eyes, he quickly cut in to the right of Ashley Young and snatched the ball back the moment Ashley Young received the ball.

Ashley Young didn't have time to lip sync, Patrick was already a few steps away from him with the ball, and Manchester United assistant coach Ryan Giggs yelled on the sidelines, "Ashley, you go back!"

Now Patrick has a large space in front of him, and he can continue to take the side lane or cut horizontally to the middle lane. He chose the latter, taking it all the way to Charlie Austin, who came up to pick him up, when he was around the center circle.

Charlie Austin was comfortable receiving the pass, quickly getting rid of Mata, who wanted to get close, and then went over the top to Patrick, who was heading for the box.

Patrick lightly offloaded the ball from the edge of the box and struck the ball into goal.

The United fans all stood up, poked their heads out, and stared at the 18-year-old with wide eyes - shoot the goal, for God's sake, at least he wasn't so threatening.

De Gea was ready for everything, the opponent was not the kind of shooter with murderous spirit, so he was not afraid of him.

But it was a feint, as Patrick dodged past United's best defender of the season, Chris Smalling, and the moment he got up, Ashley Young, who was scurrying back from the right, knocked him down.

Ashley Young regretted it as soon as he got out of the way, and he could only hope that referee Mike Dean didn't see it.

A second later, the whistle blew and Mike Dean decisively pointed to the penalty spot.

There was a burst of boos over Old Trafford.

It's hard to tell if they're booing Patrick Amber or Mike Dean's decision.

Either way, QPR had a great chance to lead the scoreline.
