44.Chapter 44

After the England squad was announced, the media expressed great support and interest in the selection of 19-year-old Patrick Amber. Although the boy is not very old, he is definitely not the youngest class, and young players who participated in the European Championship or World Cup at a younger age than him abound in the history of the England team. Therefore, the interest of the media is what kind of performance the boy will have at the European Championship.

Is it possible that he will also be as impressive as he is in the Championship?

On May 22, England played their first warm-up match at the Emirates Stadium in London after a brief training camp against Turkey. Patrick Amber sat on the bench for 90 minutes and didn't get a chance to play. On May 27, England's second warm-up game against Australia at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, Patrick was called to the sidelines for a warm-up in the second half, but ultimately did not play.

The Sky Sports reporter commented after the game: "It appears that Roy Hodgson is being cautious about using the youngster, who has no international team experience, but it is understood that Amber will have a chance to get playing time in England's final warm-up game before leaving for France, which is against Portugal. ”

Both the Championship promotion play-offs and the Champions League final will be played on 28 May. Lu Ling stayed in London and went to Wembley, while Nicholas went to San Siro in Milan. Lu Ling's side of the game is over, and that side is about to start.

As she left Wembley, she received a call from the Spaniards. Nicholas was very noisy, and so was her, and the signal in the stadium was so bad that she didn't hear what he was saying in the end. Later, in the car, she received a message from him.

[You should come and watch this, Burnley's game is not interesting. I told you, and they can handle it. 】

She didn't get back to him until she got home.

[Just turned on the TV, which team do you like?]

Nicholas didn't send another message.

At the end of the first half, Real Madrid and Bayern were still 0-0.

Lu Ling was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat when he received a call from his boss. This time it was quiet on his side, and so was hers.

"I don't like to text. The Spaniard said. "I think Real Madrid should win the title. ”

"Oh, is it? so unoptimistic about Bayern?" Lu Ling thought maybe because he was a Spaniard, so he supported the local team?

"Do you want to bet?"

"Okay, bet on what?"

"If I lose, I'll give you an extra week off. If you lose, you have to come with me to every game I went to during the European Championship. ”

"Vacation and squeezing employees?"

At the other end, Nicholas said, "You don't have to bet, but are you so unconfident in your idol Mr. Guardiola?" In their weekday conversations, Christine has expressed her admiration for Pep Guardiola more than once. That's why he said that.

"I bite this hook. At most, it will take more than an hour to know who the loser is. ”

A smug laugh from the Spaniard came from the earpiece, "My dear assistant, don't be so confident, Pep is a very paranoid person. I will enjoy the European Championship with you. ”

"Boss, you may be disappointed, I will enjoy my extra week of vacation. ”

"We-llsee called me after the game. ”

In the end, Real Madrid lifted the Big Ears Cup.

Lu Ling looked at Cristiano Ronaldo's happy smile on TV, and couldn't help but sigh that the boss was so lucky. Of course, she knows that it's not just luck. She was holding her phone and didn't dial the number. A few minutes later, Nicholas called. In fact, he is not unpredictable.

"I knew you weren't going to call. Nicholas asked lazily, "Will you keep your promise?"

Christine didn't speak for a long time, only the sound of her soft breathing. She hesitated. And he knew what she was hesitating about.

"You have more than a week to think about it, don't rush. And you can reject me, just like you did before. I won't punish you, I promise. With that, he hung up.

With all the competitions in the five major leagues coming to an end, the atmosphere of the European Championship is getting stronger and stronger. Many families in London have hung the St. George's cross flag in front of their homes, which is very festive. When Lu Ling drove home, he saw all the way.

As soon as she got home, she quickly turned on the TV, and ITV was broadcasting England's last friendly before leaving for France. The venue is Wembley. Wembley has always been the home of the Three Lions in the truest sense of the word.

At eight o'clock, in early summer in London, the sky was still very bright.

Both teams were cautious in the first half, there weren't too many physical confrontations, which was natural, and no one wanted to get injured at this point.

At half-time, the substitutes on both sides came out to warm up. On TV, Pate seems to be on good terms with Everton's Ross Barkley, with the two smiling and chatting as they pass the ball to each other. The camera cuts to Cristiano Ronaldo and the cheers of the England fans.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

In the 72nd minute, Patrick replaced Theo Walcott as a right winger. It was his debut for the Three Lions.

Lu Ling looked at the back of the boy on TV, did more than ten years really pass so quickly? She was really happy for him, she knew that wearing the national team jersey had always been his dream since he was a child.

For twenty minutes, Pat didn't touch the ball much, but every time there was a little bit of a flash, but it wasn't enough to change the game.

The game ended with a score of 0:0, which was somewhat dull.

Lu Ling has studied the schedule and could meet in the quarter-finals if both England and Portugal finish first in their respective groups. If so, hopefully there will be more passion at that time. She thought so and turned off the TV.

She's been in a "cold war" with Pat for almost three weeks, if this is a cold war.

Lying on the sofa, Lu Ling was a little bored. So she downloaded an Instagram app. I followed the club's own players, as well as some famous stars, and the most followed were friends and classmates on Facebook.

Flipping to Pat's page, he has only recently updated two photos. One is a promotional photo of the England national team. The boy put on the suit of the national team, and it was as if he had suddenly become an adult. There's also a picture of him eating with Ross Barkley, and the two boys are looking like they're playing cool.

Lu Ling liked both photos, and then threw away his phone and went to take a shower.

When she came out wrapped in a bath towel, she heard the doorbell ringing. She pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came from the loudspeaker for a long time.

"Tina, open the door. ”

"Pat, why are you? Didn't you just finish the game?"

"Yes, I'm going to France tomorrow, hurry up and open the door!"

"It's already open. ”

She opened the door of the house again, the security is good, don't worry. Then I hurried to the bedroom.

Patrick saw that the door was open, and pushed it in. Tina wasn't in the living room, so he made his way to her bedroom. The bedroom door was also open, and he pushed it open to see Tina dressing.

The four looked at each other, and both of them were stunned for half a second.

"Get out, Patrick!"

“…… Sorry, Tina. ”

Patrick turned around and let out a long sigh of relief. Actually, he didn't see anything. Tina was already putting on her panties and buttoning up her corset. The places that should be blocked are blocked. It's just that the rest of the place is impactful enough. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, feeling a little out of his body.

Tina wiped her hair as she walked out of the bedroom.

"Pat, you don't say a word when you come in. She muttered.

The boy looked at her in a daze, didn't answer her words, but frowned lightly and asked something else, "When did you get your tattoo?"

Lu Ling tilted his head a little embarrassed and continued to wipe his hair, "You saw it last week." She wanted to hear his opinion again, "Is it pretty?"

The place where the Tina pattern is actually more private, a little above the groin. The tattoo is about the size of a thumb and index finger closed to form a circle, and it is a scarlet narcissus. He only glanced at it, and remembered it clearly, six petals, delicate and gorgeous. Blooming on her smooth skin, seductive to sin.

"Well, it's good-looking. Patrick nodded his chin and paused, then added in a low voice, "And, so sexy." ”

Lu Ling was still wiping her hair, and she didn't pay much attention to the boy's expression, but all the positive comments she heard were very happy, "Really? Then, seeing that her hair was finally no longer dripping, she took the towel away, shook her head, and brushed her fingers a few times to pull her hair behind her ears.

Patrick watched Tina's actions and closed her eyes, her mind full of her appearance of wearing only panties and a corset, and the red tattoos near her intimate parts were extremely eye-catching. If you think about it, your heart is about to pop out. Maybe it's just physiological. When he thought of this, he thought it was ironic.

Lu Ling put down the towel and sat down next to the boy, "By the way, Pat, you played well today." She didn't mention that she had gone to his house that day to look for him and he wasn't there.

Patrick looked a little distracted, and Lu Ling bumped his arm before he turned his head, "Oh, you watched the game?"

Lu Ling snorted, looked at him, and suddenly didn't know what to say. Are they reconciled?

Then she heard the boy say, "I miss you, do you miss me?"

This sentence was very intimate, Lu Ling bent his eyes and pushed him, "Very." You're so fast, you're still on TV just now. ”

"Soon? It's been two hours. Patrick was pushed by her and leaned back on the couch. Actually, he was a little tired and apprehensive before he came, but after meeting Tina, all these feelings disappeared.

Lu Ling thought about it. She remembered something again and jumped up from the sofa, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find her phone.

"Tina, if you're looking for your phone, it's on the couch. Patrick said enough was enough. But I accidentally touched the home button, and just in time to catch a glimpse of Flores' missed call.

When Lu Ling took the phone, she noticed the change in Pat's face, she asked what was wrong, and then waited for her to look down and see the missed call on the phone, and knew the reason.

"Actually......"

"Are you going on vacation?"

"Yes, when the European Championship starts, I'll take a vacation. I'll go to France and I won't miss the England game. ”

“…… With him?"

"It's not. However, there may be a game to watch together. You know, he's the boss and I'm his assistant. We should communicate more about football. David Moyes used to drive around with his assistant when he was in Spain. ”

"You don't have to explain, I didn't say anything. The boy's voice grew a little cold again.

"But...... You give me the feeling that you have been criticizing me. ”

"I don't want to talk about that. "He's not here to quarrel with her.

Lu Ling didn't say anything, she opened Instagram and flipped to the promotional photo in England, "This one is very beautiful, I liked it." Also, when did you get so good with Ross Barkley?"

Patrick glanced at it, "Oh, Ross is interesting. You like me like this?"

"yes, like an adult. ”

The boy frowned, "Tina, I'm an adult. With that, he stood up, "I have to go." ”

Then he opened his arms at her.

Lu Ling was slightly stunned and got into the boy's arms, "Good luck in the European Cup." ”

Patrick answered, rubbing the tip of her nose and lips against her still-wet hair, Tina's scent. He just wanted to hug a little tighter, but the girl in his arms had already slipped out.

"Rest well. Good night, Pat. See you in France. ”
