Patrick has always loved St. George's Park, which has some of the best training facilities in the world, and to be honest, some Harrington can't beat it. At the end of March, it was still cold in England, but all the plants had a spring-like colour.

On Tuesday morning, Patrick met Zixiang in St. George's Park. Although they have never been disconnected, on social media, he, Ian and Zixiang's three-person hatsapp group even sometimes facetime. However, Zixiang's first joke when he meets Patrick is still about his love life.

Patrick didn't take the man's joke. Zixiang is not stupid, and he quickly understood. Pat didn't really mind the joke he made, and what Pat didn't want was that his joke might lead to a bad start and his teammates on other teams would imitate him. In fact, Yu Zixiang feels that Patrick's worries are a bit unnecessary, with Patrick's current status in the England national team, except for him, there may really be no one who would be so "offended" by Patrick Amber.

In any case, Zixiang will respect his good buddy, anyway, he has always known that Pat is too protective of Tina. It's just that Kristen Lu needs someone to protect her. Zixiang laughed inexplicably when he thought of this.

"What the are you smiling at?" Phil asked, looking back.

“…… It's none of your business. Zixiang pushed Phil, a little too lazy to take care of him. He laughed at the fact that that was probably the reason why he had never been interested in Christine. It's not that he likes "weak" women, in fact many of the girls he's dated may be stronger than Kristen Lu. The main thing is that there has never been a feeling between a man and a woman between him and Christine. Zixiang remembered that a long time ago, when he was still in QPR, right-back John also asked him this question. "Is it racial aesthetic fatigue?" John guessed. Yu Zixiang slapped the North Love boy on the back at that time, and John didn't know how many Asian girls he had slept with.

Phil in front of him yelled "as if I'm really interested" and turned his head. Benjamin and Patrick were in front of Phil, and although they weren't talking or laughing, they were talking. Phil couldn't figure it out.

To be fair, Kristen Lusheng is good-looking, hot, and has a cool personality, and many of her players may think of her when they first meet her. Phil didn't know anyone else, anyway, he didn't skimp on compliments when he first met his boss. Of course, the boss may also take that as an offense. Anyway, in Phil's opinion, whether it is Hans or Benjamin, it is not a ridiculous thing to like the head coach. I'm afraid it's weird if no of her players like her. Benjamin Hamilton, however, seems to have gone crazy. Obviously such a rational person.

Pat's behavior makes it even more difficult for Phil to understand. In short, if anyone keeps trying to snatch his Phil Beasley woman, he's going to headbutt him when they meet. However, on Christmas night, Pat did warn Benjamin, and in the past two months, Pat has indeed not paid much attention to Benjamin......

"What are you talking about?" Phil became, the more curious he became, and immediately leaned in.

Before the two could open their mouths, Ross Barkley replied to Phil. "There is news that the FA is considering a change of manager. ”

Phil let out a long sigh. Southgate doesn't seem to be very good, but the last few national team training camps have called him, what if a new center doesn't like my type or designs some formation that doesn't need me. World Cup qualifiers are just around the corner.

"I think maybe we'll see how he played in the World Cup qualifiers first. Yu Zixiang also leaned over from behind and whispered.

Rose snorted, "What does that prove? What we need is to achieve in the World Cup." "Everyone knows that England have never performed badly in these qualifiers over the years, and have won the world title in friendlies. It's a good result, but when you compare it to the really important races, the so-called "glory" is a joke.

Neither Patrick nor Benjamin spoke. At the end of the lap, everyone scattered a little bit of the warm-up for the other links.

Yu Zixiang suddenly whispered to himself, "Hamilton won't be interested in Christine, right?" It can't be completely considered self-talk, because Zixiang thought that it was Patrick next to him, but who expected him to turn his head, it was Phil.

"It's none of your business!" Phil gave back what Zixiang had just told him.

Yu Zixiang shrugged and didn't ask again. But he felt he was right. The last time the national team trained, Benjamin always asked Mr. Flores about it with Pat, and this time, the two looked at each other with obvious hostility when they spoke. He didn't think there was any need to ask Pat, the guy probably wouldn't reveal anything.

After three days of training at St George's Park, England flew to Switzerland. There, they will face their first opponent of the international week and the first opponent of the World Preliminary Tournament.

As soon as Patrick got off the plane, he sent a message to his girlfriend:

Lu Ling saw this message as he walked out of the parking lot at Heathrow Airport. One of the rules of dating with Patrick Amber: Tell him every day that you miss him. The corners of her mouth curled, and she replied casually: she deliberately didn't add an x, she had to discuss it with him, this habit was not suitable for her.

Since it was a temporary trip, her time was a little tight. She didn't reply to Patrick for half an hour, and it wasn't until she was safe on the plane that she reopened the hatsapp.

Lu Ling smiled helplessly as he dialed Patrick's phone, and the other end was immediately connected. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is it convenient to speak?"

The man's voice on the phone was also not loud, "No problem, baby." I was on the bus. ”

"It's not cool at all. Lu Ling said.

"What?"

"Sad, kiss me, I know you miss me?" Lu Ling laughed, "It doesn't sound cool at all." ”

The man paused and said in a deep voice, "Say." ”

"Say what?"

"Say you miss me. Patrick's voice on the phone rose noticeably, "For God's sake, can you not be angry with me this time, Tina?"

"Didn't you just say that last night?"

"Yes...... Okay, I see, you really don't want me. Patrick's voice was a little low, but he changed the subject, "Going to Milan to watch the Italian team play?"

"Yes. Lu Ling looked up at the situation, the cabin door was closed, and she probably didn't have much time. "It was supposed to be Tim's trip, but Monica was temporarily unwell today, so he couldn't go. I figured since I had time, I might as well fly to Milan. ”

"Still interested in that player, hopefully next season?"

Lu Ling gave an affirmative answer again, but he didn't explain too much.

She hadn't told Pat that she was going to leave at the end of the season, and she had told Steve and Nate not to. She had some hard time guessing how Pat would react if she found out about it. Fortunately, there is no leakage of any news now.

The player that Pat is talking about is not her personal goal, it is a goal she has set for QPR. Of course, next season's new coach is likely to be no. She doesn't care, the job that needs to be done, as long as she is still the manager of this team, of course she will do it well. In addition, this player is an AC Milan player and may come into contact with ......

She also wanted to get a close-up feel at the player's abilities, and she couldn't get all the information just by looking at the footage – she would do it to players who were very interested, like Hans, like Benjamin.

"I understand that it is inconvenient for you to go into details. "Since you're in Milan tonight, why don't you stay an extra day and come to St. Jacob's Park in Basel tomorrow night to watch England play." I want to see you, really. ”

Lu Ling thought about it for two seconds and agreed. He was visibly happy when he heard this, obviously because she didn't want him to have a dull voice because she said it. Her heart softened, and before hanging up, she hurriedly said, "I miss you too." Immediately there was an exaggerated "I know" on the other end. She smiled and shook her head, and hung up.

On this night, Italy will face Spain in the World Qualifiers. This is also a key battle for this group. Even if he purely appreciates the angle of a football game, Lu Ling will choose this game. However, she arrived a little late, and by the time she walked to the stands after greeting a few casual friends, the game had already started a minute. She greeted several more acquaintances in the crowd before taking her seat.

Milan at the end of March is not like London, at least sitting in the stands of the San Siro Stadium in a trench coat at night will not feel cold, and your ears will not be blown by the whirring wind. Lu Ling sat down before he had time to take a look at the rosters of both teams, with four AC Milan players in the starting line-up. It took about another 20 seconds of her time. By the time she looked up, Italy almost scored. Her eyebrows furrowed, ready to focus. She always felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone was looking at her, so she glanced around.

She saw him in the crowd. She was surprised. He was also surprised, he rarely saw such an expression on this man's face. After hurriedly looking at each other, the two of them quietly looked away together.

Lu Ling realized that the gaze did not come from him, but who was it? she soon knew who it was. It's the AC Milan manager, Massimo Romano. The pale-faced Italian did not hide his probe, and when he saw her coming, he was not embarrassed, and nodded politely, but did not smile. Oh, Massimo doesn't like to laugh. Lu Ling remembered. But that didn't stop her from smiling at him. Massimo saw her smile and turned her head oddly.

Lu Ling put away his smile and reprepared to concentrate on watching this game. But next to her sat a famous former Italian player and a famous prodigal son in love. It's a pity that the years have passed, and this former public lover can only barely be regarded as handsome now, and his figure has been completely out of shape. He has been trying to talk to the QPR manager, but basically, one has the same level of English as the other, and communication is very difficult. When he suddenly asked "Christine, do you speak Spanish" in fluent Spanish, Lu Ling, who had been staring at the field, immediately decided to lie.

She deliberately delayed for a few seconds before she slowly turned her face, her eyes still fixed on the field, and she politely stumbled in Spanish, "It's a shame, my Spanish is terrible too." ”

"Really?"

What sounded in Lu Ling's ears was not the voice of the Italian gentleman. 166 Reading Network
