297 Chapter 297
Max Gaunt, a reporter for the Daily Mail, staggered out of the press box after the game to pack up his laptop, power supply and house magazine. After he cleaned up, he glanced at the stadium, and the fans were already halfway through. Basically, most of the fans would rush home as soon as the whistle blew, and this was another West Ham home defeat, so after 80 minutes, there were a lot of fans left. He carried his bag and a cup of coffee in his hand, which he had picked up in the media area during intermission. After 45 minutes, the warm latte turns into an iced latte. He took a sip, looked disgusted, and threw it in the trash.
Max walked in the direction of the elevator, and there were already many colleagues standing at the elevator entrance. He saw a few familiar faces, lifted his chin, and said hello. David King walked towards him.
Max doesn't like David King very much. The "famous" journalist for The Sun was not professional in the eyes of the Sussexes, and his articles were not of high style. Max doesn't dislike David King's penchant for digging up Premier League gossip, that's David King's job anyway. Max was disgusted by the fact that he bet on his articles at every turn. And...... Looks like he's going to lose again this time.
Not to mention the possibility of falling out of the top six, it is very unlikely that the team will fall out of the top four, and this team should aim to compete for the title this season. Kristen Lue should be depressed today, though, and Max tweeted what she said in her post-match press conference.
Speaking about Phil, she said: "Phil played very well today, he's only 19 years old and he has a lot of potential. Whatever he used to be, now, he's part of this club. β
Speaking about the 11-10 draw that ended in a draw, she said: "We should have won the game...... I know a lot of people will put this down to bad luck, but bad luck is only one of the reasons, the bigger reason is on ourselves. No, I'm not blaming the players, I'm saying all of us, we should do better. After Phil scored, we tried to keep the ball, we tried to control the game, but we didn't do that and it led to that. I should congratulate Jorge, he got a point here and he should be satisfied. Any team should be satisfied with a point at the new Queen's Park. β
Speaking about the league title race, she said: "It's too early to talk about it, but if you ask me if I want to win the Premier League, the answer is obvious. If you ask any Premier League manager, he will give the same answer as I do. β
Max remembers speaking to a Manchester Evening News reporter about Christine Lue's post-match press conference at the start of the West Ham game against Everton, and the Manchester native said: "This is the third year that QPR has been promoted to the Premier League and Christine is in her third season as QPR manager, and she dared to say things like, 'Any team should be happy with a point at the new Queen's Park'. I really don't know if it's because she's too arrogant or if it's my problem. β
Max told the Manchester: "It could be true. Since the start of the new Queen's Park last season, only one team (in the Premier League) has picked up three points there. She has the capital to say that. β
There was embarrassment in the face of Manchester, and the whistle of the game was already remembered. Max later thought that this guy could be a Manchester United fan, and of course, a Manchester City fan, no matter which one he could, it really wasn't possible to like Kristen Lue.
Max doesn't like Kristen Lu, he doesn't like it, and he doesn't like it. She is a very charismatic person...... Just like the head coach Nick Flores he's about to meet. There is never a lack of affection for this kind of person, but it may be that both of these people have a bit of arrogance and maverick personalities, so they are easy to arouse disgust.
Purely from a journalistic point of view, Max likes to go to the press conference of these two people, because it is usually not boring.
The elevator doors opened. More than a dozen reporters walked in one after another. Max and David King are at the back.
"Hey, man, did you hear that?" asked David abruptly as the elevator door closed.
Max looked at David King, "What do you mean?"
Before David King could speak, another reporter answered, "Do you mean Phil? My God, this kid is definitely a demon, and I kind of sympathize with Christine." β
After the reporter finished speaking, everyone in the elevator laughed.
Max certainly knew about it.
Phil Warren, the 'amateur' who scored his first Premier League goal, gave his first interview to Sky Sports and the BBC today.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Phil said something that made people laugh and cry:
"It's definitely good to score goals, I can get a bonus ...... goals"
His QPR teammate LeΓ³n Ferreira stood right next to him, and the Uruguayan looked like he had swallowed a fly in a flash.
But in the BBC interview, which has not yet aired (which will be used on the evening MOTD show), the patience of the new QPr7 seems to have reached its limit. It is not known what exactly was said, but a BBC reporter revealed that it was the first time he had encountered such a player in an interview.
Max slung his computer bag over his shoulder and said, "I'm looking forward to what he's saying in the BBC interview, no matter what you think, I'm sure I'll be in front of the TV at half past ten tonight, and I just hope the BBC evening news isn't too long." β
After he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter in the elevator, and the elevator doors opened.
The reporters all walked to the post-match press conference.
David King muttered behind Max, "That's not what I said. β
Max looked back, a little confused, "You assigned Trek Amber to New Queen's Park?"
Sending Trek to the New Queen's Park Stadium to watch the game was all over Twitter before the game, nothing new, and the photo of him going to the QPR dressing room after the game was also put on his social media by several players, causing a lot of conversation.
David King shook his head mysteriously, "No, it's not. You wait and see, I'll ask Nick later. β

Lu Ling has returned to Harrington, with some of the players coming back for physiotherapy and massage relaxation, but most of the players have gone straight home from the pitch. Patter went to the locker room after the game and then went to Ian's house with Ian. It is said that a few more players will go to Ian's house together, and Zixiang and Hans are for sure.
Interestingly, Phil. And it was Phil who gave Lu Ling a headache.
She had heard about his interviews with Sky Sports and the BBC before she went to the post-match press conference today. She really didn't have the time or the mood to care about him. She only hoped that his agent would teach him. In addition, she knows that Phil has two interviews next week. One is for the club's YouTube channel and the other is for the Daily Mail. She didn't want to see Phil speak without being shocking anymore.
When she returned from the post-match press conference, she opened the locker room door and saw that:
Phil tugged at Patrick's arm, "Piedy, oh no, Pat, we're going to drink tonight." β
Pat looked at her with a wry smile.
She narrowed her eyes, "Phil, why don't you go to my house for a drink?" I have a lot of good wine in the wine cabinet. β
"Really? boss. But aren't we flat today? I thought you were in a bad mood. Are you really going to invite me to your house for a drink?, and I'm interested in your wine cabinet, but Paddy ...... Damn, Pat, I have a buddy named Piedy, I mean I haven't seen Patrick in a long time, and I'd love to drink with him. I'm sorry, I might be about to turn you down. Also, didn't you say that all strong alcohol is banned during the season?"
Pat sighed on one side and pulled Rafael, "Tina is taunting you." You can't drink tonight, not for a few days, not even champagne. You've got games to play in three days. β
Then Lu Ling saw Phil's eyebrows moving around, but he just didn't say a word, and when he spoke, what he said was: "I'm going to call you Tina too." β
Hans walked over and squeezed the back of Phil's head: "You can call her boss, call her Miss Lu, call her coach, but you can't call Christine or Tina." β
"Why can Pat be?"
Hans was expressionless: "First, Patrick is no longer a player on the QPR, and second, have you known your boss for more than ten years?"
Phil is still unhappy on this issue.
In the end, Yu Zixiang came over and said, "Don't you just want to fool around with us tonight?" Okay, you can come." β
Phil didn't appreciate it, "It's not to your house, it's to Ian's house." Ian, can I fool around with you tonight? Also, are there hot chicks?"
The Scotsman spread his hands, "Yes." No. β
Phil said a few words, great, great, and hurriedly went to pack his things.
Before they left, Lu Ling and Patrick had a casual chat at the door of the locker room.
"When will you go back to Barcelona?"
"After the New Year. β
ββ¦β¦ They were so happy to see you, I didn't expect Phil to be like a little fan in front of you. β
"He's funny. I'm sorry, I mean today's game. β
"I'm sorry too, but the league, that's it. I'm fine. β
"I'll go to you for a drink when you have time? I'm on vacation, and I want to have some red wine, and Mr. Guardiola won't have a problem with that. β
"No problem. By the way, the key ......"
"I've told you that I'm not going to sell it, so I'll leave it there for you...... I mean, we're neighbors and best friends. By the way, Alex, and your mother......"
"I don't know the situation yet, I'll tell you when I know. Have fun at night. β
"You too. β
They hugged for a moment, and then Phil popped out of the locker room with his bag on his back.
"Tina......" Phil shouted.
Patrick slapped Phil on the shoulder, "Call the boss!" and he pushed Phil out, then turned back and smiled at her. That smile can be a little lonely.
Lu Ling didn't think about that smile anymore, she looked at the time, Nick should be in the post-game press conference, of course, it may still be in the locker room. She has some work to do and she wants to get it done as soon as possible and go home a little earlier today.
Nathan Neal knocked on the office door, "May I come in?"
"Of course, please come in, isn't this our Mr. Wetting Pants?"
"I swear, I'm going to kill Patrick, I'm going to kill your ex-boyfriend!" Nathan Neal's face instantly flushed.
"Be louder! Why don't you just give The Sun or all the information you know?"
Nathan Neal pouted, "Damn Patrick, it's fucking champagne!!It's champagne!!You know what, Christine, do you know that when I get back to the box, I'm going to see a 2:2 result? I thought we'd get three points!"
Lu Ling stood up from his office chair, his face a little embarrassed, "...... I'm sorry too. β
Seeing this, Nathan Neal relented, "I can accept a draw, I'm not blaming you." β
"I'm here. She said.

"How does it feel to knock Christine off the top?"
The journalist made a joke. Everyone was laughing. Including the Everton manager.
"It's not bad. "I think Christine was unlucky today and I feel sorry for her." But because of her bad luck, we're now in first place in the standings and I'm happy to see the result. β
David King moved his ass and asked, "Nick, why didn't you come to London with the team bus today?"
Nicholas certainly knew David King. Everton's press officer was right next to him, and if he didn't want to answer, he could give the press officer a look, but he didn't.
He said, "It has nothing to do with you. β
"Is it related to Christine?" asked David King.
Max finally got to know David King's train of thought. The fact that Nicholas did not come to London with the Everton bus was known to all the reporters. But only this reporter from The Sun was "keenly" associated with this with his former lover.
Nicholas stood up and completely ignored the issue.
He didn't mind telling everyone that he and she were together again, he just wasn't interested in tangling with the reporter. Besides, he couldn't wait to see her. 166 Reading Network
