76.Chapter 76
In November, there was a bit of rain, and it started to rain lightly in the afternoon, and it has not stopped until now. The rain hit the two of them, and it was cool. Lu Ling raised her eyes, and Patrick looked at her first, and then took the lead in looking away.
From summer to now, there has always been a bit of melancholy in the boys. She knew the reason and couldn't do anything about it.
So she asked him, "Are you sure?"
"Is it really necessary to ask this question?" Patrick frowned.
Lu Ling shrugged, "I don't know. ”
"Tina......" Patrick took a few steps toward her, as if to say something. But her gaze drifted behind him. He stagnated. There is already a hunch. There's no need to look back.
"Good night. Patrick whispered. Then, he went around in circles, got into his car, turned around, and drove away, not going home.
Nicholas walked over, his face extremely bad.
Lu Ling looked at him and didn't know what to say.
They went into the house together, but luckily the Spaniard had the keys with them.
Lu Ling was lying on the sofa, her eyelids lowered, and Nick was standing opposite her. Although her strength had long since passed, her whole body still felt heavy. Maybe she'll be able to fall asleep soon, she thought. But in fact, she knew she couldn't fall asleep. She wanted to question him, but she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.
His complexion still made people feel very stressed. He must have been in his car just now. He had already seen her get out of the car, but waited a long time before getting out of the car.
It's also weird that she didn't notice his car. Maybe it was because I didn't expect him to come to London.
Everton travel to last season's Premier League champions Leicester City in a few days' time, how can he have time?
She's been following his schedule as much as he's following hers. On the one hand, if he comes to play in London, or if she plays in Liverpool or Manchester, the two may have a chance to meet. On the other hand, they care about each other's coaching.
Lu Ling closed his eyes.
The direction of all relationships is generally similar, and sooner or later there will be the first quarrel after the honeymoon period. Does this mean that their sweetest stage has passed? Or does it lead to a breakup?
When she opened her eyes again, Nick was already standing in front of her.
He bent down, leaned over, and kissed her dry lips.
She drank red wine, and her mouth was dry. And he smells of smoke in his mouth, and Nick basically doesn't smoke.
It only took about a few seconds for her to start pushing him.
But Nick, just like when he left that day, was so angry and aggressive that she couldn't resist at all. He began to undress her, and his lips departed, and kissed her neck.
Lu Ling was finally able to speak, and she gasped, "Nick, you have to understand that this won't solve the problem. And, I don't want to!"
In the empty house, tension spreads.
Nicholas stopped all movement and straightened up.
He said condescendingly, "I thought I had made my attitude clear by coming to London." I just didn't expect to see you with Patrick again. What if I don't come? You'll go home with him, won't you?" he said, "Don't sue me, you don't know what he thinks?"
"Does it matter what he thinks? Even if I go to his house, nothing will happen. Pat wasn't that kind of person, and neither was I. Lu Ling's feelings were very peaceful, "What if you came to London? Are you going to tell me why you went to Spain in the middle of the night?"
"No, I have to think about this matter myself before I can sue you. I've said it many times, believe me. Is that hard to do?"
Lu Ling also stood up, "If you want others to believe you, you have to give a reason." It's as simple as that. ”
Nicholas looked at his girl.
She really didn't want to budge at all. If he could, he would like to sue her now. But this incident has affected him enough, and he doesn't think that now is the best time to sue her.
Their faces were so close that he pulled her into his arms, and all his temper seemed to disappear in an instant.
He hugged her tightly, and she still tried to break free.
He whispered in her ear, "Babe, don't you really feel my crush on you? Do you really think I'm going to do something to hurt you?"
Lu Ling bit her lower lip fiercely, and after feeling the pain, she felt that her chest was much wider.
"I know. She wrapped her arms around his neck, "That's why I'm sad." She kissed him lightly on the lips. The past few hours have been very painful.
Nicholas didn't let her lips go away, kissing his girl passionately and passionately.
"Trust me, trust me, babe ......"
****
Nicholas has returned to Liverpool. It looks like their first quarrel has been properly resolved. But in fact, Lu Ling knew that this matter was not over yet, and after that, Nick had to give another explanation. It's just that she does now believe that he didn't betray her.
Lu Ling stood on the edge of the training ground in a down jacket.
Today's training session is dedicated to the next game.
In her next match, she will face Pep Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola is the most valuable football coach today and is also known as a rare talented manager in football history.
At the age of 35, he ended his illustrious career as a player, travelling extensively and delving into football tactics. Appointed at the age of 36 for Barcelona's B team, he took over the first team at the age of 37 and turned the tide when the team was in crisis, winning an unprecedented treble in his debut season as a coach (La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League) before dominating Europe again in 2011 at the age of 40 and winning La Liga three times in a row.
At this age, many good coaches are still crawling at the bottom, but the Catalans have led that king Barcelona to achieve a miracle that has never been seen before.
This is a coach who is destined to go down in history. Although he failed to win the Champions League trophy in his last year at Barcelona and failed to win the Champions League trophy in Bayern's three consecutive years, this still could not erase Guardiola's outstanding talent and football achievements.
If Bielsa is the lone among idealists, then Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly the absolute king of idealists. This season, the 45-year-old Pep came to the Premier League to create a new Manchester City, winning nine and drawing one in the first ten rounds, and only Nicolas's Everton can snatch a point from Pep.
Everton are also the current second-placed team, with seven wins and three draws, also unbeaten, but still four points behind Manchester City.
For Lu Ling, in her fourth game in charge of QPR, it is naturally an unprecedented challenge to face such a super coach who may become the best coach of all time in the future, and of course, this is also the opportunity that all young coaches dream of.
Should we return to normal tactics or continue to use extreme tactics? This is the question that has been lingering in Lu Ling's mind this week.
Yu Zixiang and John O'Connor are not seriously injured and have returned to training, so QPR can play at full capacity.
But even so, no one thinks QPR, who are still at the bottom of the table, will be able to pick up points against leaders Manchester City.
Lu Ling and George set up a very high-intensity training session together. There are still three days left before the game, so Lu Ling is not worried about the fitness of the players.
The only concern is whether the players will be able to adapt to the tactics against Manchester City in a short period of time.

In Harrington on Friday, Lu Ling didn't talk too much about substantive things at the press conference, but just briefly talked about the team's preparations.
Asked about her play against Pep Guardiola, she said: "I have a lot of respect for what Mr Guardiola has achieved in the past, he is one of the best managers in my eyes. But for me, like all games, I'm going to do everything I can to get points, preferably three points, because it's our home stadium after all. ”
Later, at Pep Guardiola's press conference, reporters mentioned to him that the rival QPR had just beaten Tottenham Hotspur by a big score.
The Catalans smiled and replied in fluent English: "I watched that game and it's interesting that QPR has a young manager with a lot of ideas. We're going to analyse the opponents, but City won't change their style of play because of that. I have only one goal, to dominate the game, to score as many goals as possible and to win. ”
Chloe showed up at City's press conference and asked one last question: "Pep, there have been reports that you admire Patrick Amber in your opposition squad, how will your team limit this in-form player?
Pep Guardiola looked at the beautiful Sky reporter and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "You're right, Amber is probably one of the best young players I've ever seen, maybe as good as our Andrea." We're going to find a way to keep him out of the first minute. Of course, if he starts this time. ”
The last sentence drew laughter from reporters, after which the City boss left the press conference with a smile on his face.

Patrick only found out about Guardiola's interview after training. He didn't really care about the joke, but his mind was on one of the players mentioned by the Manchester City boss.
Andrea Zhivkovich.
The 20-year-old Serbian phenom has been clawed by Pep Guardiolaro this season, replacing the injured David Silva in the first game against Swansea City and providing two assists afterwards.
And in the first 10 rounds, he has started eight times and come off the bench twice, and has already completed a staggering eight assists and scored four goals.
Patrick's own count is six goals and six assists.
In fact, Patrick, along with three youngsters, Živkovic and Dembele (four goals and five assists), has been considered by the media to be a strong contender for the Young Player of the Season and even Player of the Season awards.
Tina said, she always said, you're the best one.
Needless to say, Patrick knew his own strength.
He's not in a bad mood, but it's not good either.
But back to football, he's going to be the king.
