Lu Ling had been staring at Leicester City's starting role in the last league game for several minutes, and she suddenly realized that she hadn't thought about anything in the past few minutes. She kind of hated herself like this. Maybe she should go out for a run or two, it's raining outside, that would clear her up a little bit and focus a little bit.

She was thinking when a head popped up at the door of her office.

It's Zixiang.

She just wanted to call him.

Suddenly, almost all the players burst into her office, as well as several members of the coaching staff and club staff, and even Tony.

Her office was clogged.

John was holding an oversized birthday cake in his hand, and it was so crowded that it almost fell directly to the floor.

"Happy Birthday, Boss!!!!!"

It was a pleasant surprise.

The head coach who celebrated his birthday was still a little confused.

And just as she was about to say a few words, a piece of cake came to her face. It's Patrick.

Lu Ling glared.

Ian, who has always been honest, shouted, "Boss, we don't want to listen to a tirade now!"

Lu Lingbian flattened his mouth and said while wiping the cream on his face, "Okay, okay." Thank you. ”

By the time the cake was cut, the players were already making a fuss. Lu Ling handed the cake to Captain Nedham and roared pretending to be serious: "Eat such a high-calorie ...... Give me two extra laps in the afternoon. ”

"Ten laps is fine. John shouted.

Lu Ling smiled. Pat was by her side and ate very seriously, he always had a sweet tooth.

She remembered what this guy had just done, and the fingers of her left hand quietly picked up a handful of cream.

As ...... Pat spoke, her fingers went to the boy's cheek.

But Patrick had already seen her move hand, and it deflected, and instead stuck to her hair.

"Tina, you're going to pay the price for your naughtiness. Patrick said as he scratched at his sticky hair and stared at her crookedly.

The boy's words were already very ambiguous, and the events of last night were still clearly engraved in his mind, Lu Ling was embarrassed and annoyed for a while. Fortunately, the others had already made a fuss. Even Tony's fancy suit has some cream on it.

"You go first. Lu Ling said and licked his fingers.

Her cute tongue slid over the white cream, and she looked very satisfied.

Patrick's pupils flickered, staring at her in a daze, and whispering, "You shouldn't have done this, Tina." ”

Lu Ling raised his eyes suspiciously, and then instantly realized what he was thinking and what he meant. She quickly took her fingers away from her lips.

"Pat!" she frowned slightly, her voice a little harsh, and an offended expression.

The pretty boy shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, a little apologetic, more teasing, "I'm sorry, Tina, it's hard for me not to let myself think about it...... Really ......"

Lu Ling didn't wait for Patrick to finish speaking, he turned around directly, took two steps forward, and chatted with other players. But she still felt Pat snickering behind her.

The trouble was almost over, and Lu Ling blasted everyone except Tony out.

Tony seems to have just found out that his expensive suit has cream on it, and he is a little angry, but also pleasantly surprised.

"These bad guys! If you let me know who it is...... Hmph, but the good thing is that while the fans hate me, the players don't. ”

Lu Ling thought it was quite funny. She handed over a tissue, her expression had become serious, "About the acquisition ......"

Tony looked up and smiled as he rubbed, "It's almost done." The Lawrence family will get 55 percent of the shares, and I have 45 percent left. ”

Lu Ling's expression was a little surprised, which meant ......

Tony tossed the tissue in the trash and continued: "Nate will be the largest shareholder. He will be announced as one of the team's co-chairs in two weeks' time. And he is very interested in investing in QPR. He will be very supportive of the transfer budget next summer. Of course, I'm still one of the co-chairs of the team. I co-run the club with him. ”

Malaysians look a little lonely, but more often excited. Presumably, the price offered by Lawrence Jr. is impossible to refuse.

This is extraordinary. Lu Ling's heart was a little surging.

In other words, Nathan Lawrence, who is 28 years older than her, will become the owner of Queens Park Rangers Football Club. The American's net worth rivals that of Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich.

And what this means for QPR and for itself is obvious.

Lu Ling didn't speak, and Tony looked very talkative.

"So far, the team is still in the top half, which is something that no one expected. I've never felt like I've had such a good eye, and I've never felt like I'm going to win a day when I'm gambling. He looked at the young girl and said heartily.

This is appreciated. Lu Ling smiled gratefully, but still didn't speak.

"By the way, there's something I need your help with. After the club announced the arrival of the Lawrence family, I would like you to give me an interview with the BBC...... I know you don't like to be interviewed, but this is also to build momentum for the club and talk about your views on the transition. ”

Lu Ling smiled and agreed, "No problem." ”

They then chatted about the new stadium, and Toni said it would be fine to move next season.

After Tony left, Lu Ling walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The rain has stopped. She looked at the training ground, which was empty and presumably the players were still in the dressing room.

Despite the fact that it was winter, the meadows were verdant and verdant. So energetic.

The whole office is filled with the smell of cream cake. Such a fragrance makes people feel pleasant, and it is easy to forget about jì troubles.

How could she have thought of all of this when she first saw this floor-to-ceiling window.

She closed her eyes, and in her mind, there was a back facing the tactical board that was still deep. When I think about it, I still feel excited. But she had to look ahead.

The future will be very bright.

****

The game against Leicester was at home, on Sunday afternoon. There was a drizzle in the sky.

Lu Ling made his debut for Glenn Mitchell, who wore the number 30, alongside Timothy Fosu Mensah, who is also the main centre-back partner for QPR in her future.

She has recently asked Rice to negotiate with Manchester United in the hope of turning Mensah's loan deal into a permanent transfer, but it has been a bit difficult, and Mensah's own wishes are also important, so she asked the Dutch boy about this, but Mensah himself could not make up his mind, after all, it is tempting to return to the Red Devils.

Today in the front line, she lined up again with Leon, who wore the number 29. The lion-like Uruguayan teenager has already been featured as a substitute in the last three league games. He provided a crucial assist against Crystal Palace – leaning on the opposition's centre-back and flicking his heel to Patrick to set up QPR's No.7 for the winning goal.

And the game went very smoothly.

QPR led 1-0 in the first half.

Although Patrick did not start, Leon's energy helped the team very well. Vargas converted a penalty late in the first half when he was brought down after getting a direct past an opposition player in the box.

In the second half, Leicester started to attack more.

Another new signing, Glenn, is also showing his potential. Although he was still a little jerky, he still steadied the defence with Mensah, and on a few occasions he broke the ball very cleanly and decisively.

In the 71st minute, Lu Ling replaced Vargas with Patrick.

Six minutes later, the pretty boy had a straight shot, and Leon was quick enough to form a one-on-one and shoot a left-footed shot into the top corner of the net.

After that, there is a dance full of South American flavors.

Lu Ling on the sidelines smiled very openly. She loved the two new kids. Glenn is more shy than Ian, but very smart and reliable, and Leon is a hot and somewhat unscrupulous killer for opponents.

In the end, QPR won Leicester with a score of 2-0 and entered the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

This result once again sparked praise from QPR fans for Kristen Lu. They walked out of the pitch still shouting "Christine's blue and white!"

The last time QPR reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup was 22 years ago, when current director of football Les Ferdinand was their top scorer.

What's more, QPR drew League One side (and one of the dark horses of this FA Cup) in the quarter-finals - Millwall in London. This gave QPR fans hope of reaching the last four, which is a trip to Wembley (the FA Cup semi-finals and final are played at Wembley Stadium, the temple of football).

The last time they reached the last four of the FA Cup was in 1982, when they lost to Tottenham in the final.

And the FA Cup going to Wembley, what it means to England fans is extraordinary.

****

League a week later.

QPR host Watford.

If the Hornets in the outskirts of London are also counted as London teams, then this is the third consecutive London derby played by QPR in the league.

Uruguayan boy Leonardo Ferreira got his first Premier League start in this game and played as a lone striker today, with Vargas resting.

Watford's Italian boss Mazzari is quite standard, and the former Napoli and Inter Milan boss has developed a very difficult counter-attacking system, and is currently firmly in 12th place in the Premier League.

But QPR played a super first half, and the score on the scoreboard was already 3:0 in the 35th minute.

Just 10 minutes into the game, Patrick set up León and the 18-year-old Uruguayan boy flicked his head inside between two of the opposition's centre-backs for his third goal since joining QPR and his first Premier League goal.

After that, Zixiang gave a cross to the middle, and Patrick fired a direct long-range shot into the bottom corner.

The two goals were so close that they went straight to Watford's defence.

In the 35th minute, Leon was very alert to retreat to get the ball, attracting a player from the opponent and then plugging it straight, and Ian strode to receive the ball and form a single knife.

And then...... The shot was saved by the opposition goalkeeper Gomez.

Ian made up for the bouncing ball...... As a result, he was shoveled out of the box by a defender who was in place.

The Scottish boy watched his buddy Zixiang rush up at high speed from behind him and make up the ball into the net with a beautiful kick.

Zixiang laughed at Ian while dancing after scoring the goal, "Stupid, this is called shooting!"

Ian gave Zixiang a punch in the shoulder, but still hugged him with a grin. This honest Scottish boy doesn't care who scores. Although he was somewhat annoyed.

In the second half, both teams failed to score, and in the end, Lu Ling's blue and white team won 3-0.

After this league game, QPR has 41 points and crossed West Ham to move into eighth place in the league.

The atmosphere in the dressing room after the game was very lively.

Almost half of the players had stripped themselves naked, and even newcomers Leon and Glenn knew that Christine had no interest in their bodies. She has a super sexy boyfriend in Liverpool.

Lu Ling also had to go to the post-match press conference, so she only made a very brief speech.

"You're fucking awesome! yes, fucking awesome! Congratulations, relegation!"

It's a joke, and of course, it's also true, Premier League teams can be relegated with 40 points, there is no doubt about it.

The players were laughing loudly and the coaching staff was high-five and hugging each other.

"I don't have much more to say. I'm proud of you. However, this season we have bigger goals, I don't want to say because it's not the time yet. But you can think about it...... No matter how ridiculous it is, it doesn't matter. Remember, we are proud QPR!"

After Lu Ling finished speaking, she smiled and high-fived the players and coaches closest to her, and then walked out of the locker room.

This game is over.

February, too, is coming to an end.

The next game is in early March.

QPR's opponent is the Toffee.

I've been waiting for a long time.

****

As a result of QPR's three wins and one draw in February. Kristen Luke won the Premier League's Manager of the Month award for the first time in early March. Patrick Amber also won the Player of the Month award for the first time, scoring four goals and providing two assists in four league games in February, and remains the league's top scorer (19) and second in assists (13).

All the sports media put up a photo of Kristen Lue and Patrick Amber holding the Monthly Trophy respectively. In the photo, the beautiful head coach and the beautiful boy are smiling brightly.

If we say February, the sky in West London is blue.

February, which belongs to Everton, is grey.

Nick Flores' Everton are clearly behind in the Premier League title race. QPR beat Watford in the league and Everton's Merseyside derby against Liverpool was another draw.

Throughout February, Everton were winless in four league games, drawing three and losing one. And that's not even counting the FA Cup elimination by Tottenham.

And the two teams will meet on the afternoon of Saturday, March 4th.

In this match, Nick Flores will return to Loftus Road to play his former club. And the other coach's coach is his closest lover.

It's just that the outside world doesn't know that the closest lover is already in the past.
