In September, a west wind blows the grass of Wembley. An hour later, there will be a European Championship qualifier between England and the Czech Republic. It's the first international break of the season, and the 2019 summer transfer window has just closed, and until the winter transfer window approaches, the clubs that European players will play for in the coming months will not change.

Despite Barcelona's objections, England's number one star Patrick Amber is still in the squad for the new national team. England boss Gareth Southgate has said he will take Patrick's fitness into account and carefully arrange his playing time, and everyone knows that he has only started training in the last two weeks and has yet to play in a competitive game.

In the dressing room, Patrick was benched changing his boots, but he didn't start.

Kyle Walker, Harry Kane and Ross Barkley are ready to go. Patrick felt that when he saw Rose this time, he talked a lot less than before, probably because it had something to do with Everton's poor start to the season. There is no hiding between Walker and Kane's words about their affection for former club boss and current Everton boss Mauricio Pochettino, and Patrick thinks they may also want to reassure Ross that Pochettino is not incompetent.

Walker turned around and called out to Patrick, "Pat, are you coming?"

Patrick raised his chin, "You guys go first, Kyle, I'll need a little while, I'll be here soon." ”

Walker smiled and smacked his lips, and went out first with Rose and Kane's teammates.

Yu Zixiang lifted his pants as he walked and came out of the shower room slowly. When he saw that the locker room was empty, he exaggerated and joked to Patrick, "How long the have I been in there? all night?"

Patrick tied up his shoes, stood up, and said solemnly, "You may need to get your prostate checked, man." ”

"Fuck you!" Yu Zixiang pushed his buddy and walked out on his shoulder.

Patrick laughed too.

"Seriously, I'm surprised you and Kyle are on pretty good terms right now. Yu Zixiang said suddenly.

"Jealous?"

"Oh ** off pat! Seriously, didn't you almost get into a fight with him because of Christine?"

"When did that happen? Patrick grinned, thinking back to the clash with Kyle Walker, still laughing at it.

But there is one thing Yu Zixiang didn't know, after his suspected relationship with Tina was exposed, Walker once mentioned the original incident. He said, "Look, buddy, I was right, she did sleep with you! Oh please don't be so nervous, you're a hero to us, Patrick Amber, the first player to sleep with a manager." ”

Patrick wasn't angry, but it was true that things did turn out as the people around her had expected, bringing more questioning and criticism to Tina, and he became a "hero". There are not a few people who think like Walker, other people in the England team, many teammates in the Barcelona team may have thought so, Walker just said it.

A lot of times Patrick asks himself, if it weren't for the fact that he has played an important role for both club and country, if it weren't for Tina's Premier League title and not playing at any club for the time being, would people have made a more ugly noise?

If they are still together, will they still be separated because of these public pressures?

He could go and guess the answer, but they couldn't confirm anything.

He was just sure he didn't regret that decision.

Dad said that they were actually too dependent on each other, and that being separated was not necessarily a bad thing for each other, and that if it was predestined, it was predestined, and if it was not predestined, it was fate. He believed what Jack Amber said. Later, Tina's father said something similar to him. Alex said that whether two people are together or apart is a two-way choice, not a one-way street.

When he chose to leave Tina, Tina actually chose to leave him. The story of the future, if there is still a story, will still be a two-way choice.

He doesn't blame Kyle Walker, when you make some unusual choices, you need to bear the consequences of that choice, good or bad.

What Patrick said to Kyle Walker: "I didn't deny it then, but you can't say that about the people closest to me, and in the same way, I will treat your female family, your mother or your wife with the respect they deserve." ”

Walker must not have expected Tina to be so important to him, but because he made the point, he and Walker got along more well.

Patrick walked out of the tunnel with Yu Zixiang, and the England fans who had already entered the stadium let out a huge cheer.

Yu Zixiang naturally knew that most of the cheers were for the superstar next to him.

"Well—I'm a little jealous. ”

Patrick patted Zixiang on the head, "Stupid, that's why you're joining Real Madrid? You're going to kill me in the national derby? Oh, I don't think so, man, Harrington's turf should help you remember how many times you've been killed by me." ”

"I'm better than before!" Yu Zixiang said.

They jogged.

"You should be worried about your Spanish ......"

"I'm my father's son, you know what that means? I have to be very good at learning, and I have to get an A in every subject since I was a child. I learned a little bit of Spanish, and then I learned a lot at QPR and Leon, and now it's no problem at all. We've got a lot of good players, young talents, including ......me, this year."

"Okay, young talent, including you......" Patrick smiled and glanced at Yu Zixiang as he sped to the England teammate's warm-up zone.

"Damn it, Pat!!"

The assistant coach was warming up, and he and Yu Zixiang joined in.

After warming up, when he went back, Yu Zixiang was still unsatisfied, and continued the previous topic, "Pat, do you know that there is a sixteen-year-old French boy in our team......"

"I'm sorry for the new Zidane and the new Platini, you just gave away the original one. ”

"Pat, Pat, can you please not interrupt me like a powder keg...... The kid's name was Pierre Jo, and he said he had seen you and admired you. ”

"Oh, is it?" Patrick didn't look up.

"The kid said he had seen you at the European Championship in France three years ago, when he was your caddy, and he talked to you, and you signed a ...... for him" (see Chapter 52)

All kinds of memories, messages, and images swept through Patrick's brain in an instant.

Pierre. True, the name is indeed in memory. And, indeed, on the field of Euro 2016 in France. It was a short caddy with slightly curly black hair, who asked for his autograph and said "Mr. Amber, you are great" and said that he would also play in the European Championships.

Pierre Rongkai, that little kid, actually became the "new Zidane" introduced by Real Madrid this summer?

And it was that game, at the Pierre Moroy Stadium in Lille, that England were knocked out by Portugal, and less than seven hours after that – on that chilly London summer morning......

Three years have passed.

Yu Zixiang was still waiting for Patrick's reaction.

Patrick tilted his head, a strange smile on his face, and muttered, "Oh it's him? I really didn't expect it, Zixiang, I really didn't expect it. ”

"yes, Pat, it's only been three years, he's sixteen now, soon seventeen, younger than when we played in the Championship. ”

They walked and entered the players' tunnel.

Wembley is already filling up and the game is about to begin.

****

The game went relatively smoothly, with England winning 3-0 against the Czech Republic.

Apart from......

Patrick Amber came off the bench in the 80th minute, and after that, there was a major surprise.

Patrick twisted his right foot again as he attempted to dribble, and England's number one star fell to the ground in pain.

He was then helped off the field. Everyone saw the footage, and before the results of the specific examination came in, everyone could basically be sure: Patrick Amber's ankle injury had recurred.

After the game, Patrick was escorted by his entourage from London directly back to Barcelona, where he will undergo further treatment.

Steve's call went straight to the plane, eagerly asking about the situation. Patrick casually said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

There was no drowsiness.

The pain seemed to subside, but from the experience of the previous injuries, Patrick knew it would hurt even more tomorrow morning.

He pulls out his phone, plugs in Wi-Fi, and searches Google for "pierre jo." Soon he saw what the child looked like now, as well as an interview.

That interview happened to be yesterday. It also mentions this European Cup story about Patrick -

"Although I joined Real Madrid, I have to say that my favourite player is Patrick Amber, who ...... three years ago"

Patrick finished reading the interview with a smile, and then sent an email to his beloved girl:

[Three years ago, in France, I led Rong Kai to the turf, and now, this child has been taken to Madrid by Nicolas. Tina, do you say it's fate, or is it a coincidence? Or we can all agree on Karmaa Bitch. By the way, my foot injury is fine, although you probably don't care at all, haha. By the way, have you recently gone bankrupt? I see you on TV a lot. Of course, that's a good thing. 】

He finished the message and tossed his phone aside. This part of the flight was a little bumpy, and he gradually became sleepy. In fact, he is not in a good mood, this year, he is always injured, and injuries are a disaster for athletes.

When he was about to fall asleep, his phone rang. He picked it up in a trance and looked at it, and it was she who replied to the email. He hurriedly sat up straight and clicked:

[I don't like your attitude towards injuries, it's not a joke, I just talked to Alice on the phone, she can't ask about your situation, but she will introduce you to a friend of hers, if Barcelona agrees, this friend of hers is willing to participate in your treatment and rehabilitation. So, get in touch with Alice when you get home, okay? Anyway, let me know what's going on. I understand you, Pat, if you can't play freely, it's like killing you, and while you're an idiot who still laughs and says "it's all ate" to me, as your best mate, it's my duty to remind you that a lot of risky attempts in the game are unnecessary. I've watched the footage of Rong Kai's fight, and I like this kid, and I don't go bankrupt, and Lil Ayne is a bit outdated. 166 Reading Network
