Before Lu Ling left Old Tom's house, Old Tom casually sighed about Phil's recent situation, so much so that she kept thinking about that stupid boy on the way back.

Tom Sr. said: "You know he's started one game in the league so far this season, he hasn't started a single one in the Champions League, and he probably only played one and a half games combined. At the beginning of the year, the kid vowed to play in the European Championship next year, and now he is afraid that he will be disappointed. He didn't do anything wrong, he seemed to train hard, and when I saw him, I always thought he had something to say to me, but he just nodded to me and shut up Mr. Jones. If this kid doesn't make a fuss, I think it's scary. ”

Lu Ling estimated the time in his heart, Phil's child will be born soon, maybe it has something to do with this. If Phil can't always play in the main team in QPR, or if he goes out on loan in the winter, he can't always play at his age, then it won't do him any good. Perhaps, if her next stop is confirmed, she will need him...... It's just that it only stays in her head, and she can't do anything right now.

She looked out the window, passing by house after house, winter had already arrived, and the year was about to pass with a little more than a month left.

Everyone has their own destiny, and Phil is not her responsibility. That's what she told herself. But at the next intersection, while waiting for the green light, she remembered the boy looking at her garden, and he said that he was going to teach the little princess how to play football, and he was going to tie her pigtails.

She laughed, and it was better to give Tim a call, just to give advice, not unprofessional.

She made this decision, finally made a little more sure, and looked at her watch again, and the game was almost twenty minutes or so. She calculated the time, and she would be home in about thirty-five minutes.

****

Lu Ling called Tim first when she got home, she hoped that Tim could talk to Phil, and then Phil could go and propose to Benitez to rent him out, but in any case, it was not a single decision, there were many considerations, and as for the outcome, it was not up to her.

By the time she turned on the TV, the second half had already begun. She poured her coffee and sat down on the couch.

"Patrick Amber was already up in the first half, his second ankle injury of the year, coming back at this time, I don't know how he is forming, I think he must be really looking forward to playing against Nicolás Flores' side again, we all remember his performance last season......"

"That's right, and, like most fans, I'm looking forward to two of the best players on the planet, Patrick Amber and Gabriel Jesus, who last played each other at ......the World Cup."

"Real Madrid's talented midfielder Pierre Youngke, who just turned 17, is also in the squad, maybe the Frenchman has a chance to compete with his idol Amber......?

The two Sky Sports commentators were a little noisy with excitement, and at this time, the camera gave a close-up of the Real Madrid manager's face.

He looks good. Lu Ling smiled slightly. Summer is gone, winter is coming, and before you know it, the progress bar for this season is almost a third.

According to media reports, he is doing well in Madrid. Real Madrid have been outstanding so far this season under him, Diego has also returned to Madrid, he can see his son every week, and he is becoming a good father, at least trying to be a good father.

Now, the man in the crisp suit on TV should be all on winning this game – his first national derby, and the outcome of this game will have a big impact on what Real Madrid fans think of him.

The camera flickered to Barcelona's No. 7 Patrick, who was not far from Nicolas, warming up.

Lu Ling stared at the score, 0:1, she already knew that it was a goal from Jesus. Barcelona are trailing at home.

****

Nicholas doesn't feel good about Camp Nou. He led Everton here six months ago and failed. It was a slim chance because the man scored a hat-trick in the first leg at Goodison Park. But he certainly agrees that perhaps one of the best things about being a Real Madrid manager is seeing his team score at Camp Nou.

In the 37th minute, Gabriel Jesus started to start when Mbappe got the ball, and the moment Mbappe passed the ball out, the Brazilian jumped up, grabbed in front of Pique, and stabbed the ball into the bottom of the net, his speed of initiation and reaction were astonishing.

It was the Brazilian's 10th La Liga goal in 10 rounds.

In this statistic, Patrick Amber, who has not yet played his first club game of the season, is naturally still zero, and his second injury has caused many betting companies to hastily adjust the top scorer odds.

The Englishman finished his warm-up and returned to the bench after two final sprints on the sidelines.

****

Barça fans were clearly disappointed at the start of the second half and did not see the envisaged substitutions.

Some fans even booed a little, but Guardiola didn't change his expression much.

Just six minutes later, Barcelona fans were able to put away their worries and grievances for the time being, when Neymar scored a direct free-kick to help Barcelona equalise.

Nicholas didn't show any disappointment or complaint in the moment he conceded the goal. He jumped up like a leopard from the dugout, rushed to the sidelines, called Gabriel Jesus and Vinicius Jr. quickly, and instructed the two Brazilians.

Nicholas's movements did not escape the camera's capture. Lu Ling could see that the Spaniard's facial expression was very serious but calm, his mouth moved quickly, and Jesus and Vinicius were constantly nodding.

After the restart, a change came. Gabriel Jesus dropped back very deep and deliberately tried to occupy the same wing as Barcelona's Neymar to increase the risk of Neymar's mistakes – which is clever because Neymar is Barca's number one driver, but he doesn't have a high success rate at times.

Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe are now in a two-striker position, with them up front.

A few rounds later, Lu Ling clearly saw that Barcelona's three-line distance was stretched. It was Nicolas who captured the psychology of Barcelona at Camp Nou – they were eager to strike while the iron was hot at home, only to be torn apart by Real Madrid's changed style of play.

Gabriel Jesus got his hands on the ball and he started from a deep position and tucked it straight into Vinicius Jr. as he sprinted forward.

The 19-year-old Vinicius was poached by Real Madrid two and a half years ago - it seems that in recent years, Real Madrid's transfer strategy has shifted to potential players in the 17-year-old and even 16-year-old age group, and this year's Pierre Rongkai is also one of them. Vinicius, known in Brazil as the 'new Neymar', has fancy footwork, and this time he didn't delay too much and used his speed to get straight into the box.

This time, Barcelona as a whole was completely disjointed, the defense line was attacked by Vinicius, and was also involved by Mbappe, and the midfielder had not had time to come back. Gabriel Jesus appeared directly in the disjointed part of Barcelona's midfield!

Vinicius passed back in the inverted triangle, Mbappe followed up with a direct right-footed shot, Barcelona defender Sidibe wanted to block with a flying tackle, but to no avail, and Ter Stegen couldn't save!

In the 58th minute, Gabriel Jesus scored twice, and Real Madrid led Barcelona 2:1 away.

****

There was a tsunami at the Camp Nou, and a long-lost figure stood on the sidelines.

Barcelona's No.7 Patrick Amber was ready to return from injury for the third time this year in the 70th minute of the game. This time, it was a return at the National Derby.

After a metatarsal injury at the beginning of the year, a first ankle injury in the Champions League final, and then a recurrence of the ankle injury this time, there is speculation about whether he will be hit by this. Barcelona fans have been eagerly awaiting his return for the last two months, with his name echoing throughout the stadium for this game.

However, for Patrick himself, there is a slight pity. Because four minutes ago, Real Madrid's starting striker Gabriel Jesus was substituted. He was injured after being hit by Sidibé's blocked foot when he scored the second goal, and although he held on for a while, he was eventually replaced.

Two of today's unparalleled talents in football can't go head-to-head in the first national derby of the season.

Nicholas stood outside the touchline, watching Patrick Amber's figure.

Lu Ling sat in front of the TV, looking at the same figure.

After hugging his teammates, Patrick crouched down and stroked the turf before running onto the field.

"This is the moment that the Barcelona fans are looking forward to the most...... We're all familiar with the stories of Patrick Amber and Nicolas Flores' past, but what kind of story will it be this time?"

While everyone was expecting a lot, it was clear that Patrick's form needed to be further adjusted after repeated injuries and it wasn't until the 80th minute that he had his first dribble and first shot.

As the Camp Nou became more and more agitated, Barcelona finally had their chance. In the 85th minute, Patrick Amber, who had a somewhat thin presence, received Messi's cross, cut in from the left side, and sent the ball into the bottom corner with a low shot!

2:2。

Real Madrid still have a substitution, but due to some recent injuries, Nicolas has a thin bench and now wants to strengthen the attack, only to replace the French youngster Pierre Rongkai, who has just turned 17.

In the 87th minute, the world's attention to the new French star Pierre Rongkai replaced the defender Casemiro and made his debut for the Whites.

Pierre, whose face was still immature, but who was now only a little shorter than Patrick, walked past Patrick and glanced at the Englishman. His eyes were very bright, and he smiled and quickly reached out his hand, saying in still stiff English, "Patrick...... Mr. Amber, I have been looking forward to this moment. ”

Patrick's mouth lifted and he clapped his hands.

Time flies.

The game ended after six minutes. Barcelona dominated possession in the closing stages, and the Real Madrid Frenchman failed to even get a few touches, with the only time he played in attack was to send a long overhead pass to Mbappe, but Mbappe, who was also Frenchman, was offside.

The first national derby of the new season was a buzz before the game, which ended in a thrilling 2-2, but even so, the game was a bit of a disappointment to the crowd on some level. Gabriel Jesus and Patrick Amber failed to go head-to-head – although both scored in their respective playing hours. And Pierre Rongkai, who is five years younger than the two superstars, made his Real Madrid debut for an uneventful six minutes.

After the game, Nicolás Flores had a gloomy expression on his face, and after shaking hands with Pep Guardiola, he walked towards his players, and on the other side, the Barcelona boss walked directly to the players' tunnel.

Patrick exchanged jerseys with Pierre, but didn't talk much. The excitement in the eyes of the French boy was as full of admiration as he held the hand of his idol for the first time three years ago. Patrick staggered past him.

The Barcelona number 7 hung the Real Madrid shirt over his shoulder, and when he looked up again, he saw the Real Madrid manager walking towards him. He nodded at him, ready to go to his teammates.

I didn't want Nicholas to come up to him and say to him in a friendly way: "good game"

Patrick's brow twitched slightly, and he said, "good game"

The camera zoomed in, and the two shook hands and covered their mouths to talk a few words.

The Sky Sports commentator laughed in surprise: "Oh look at them, I thought I was wrong...... Or we were wrong all along, and the truth is that they have a good relationship in private. After all, back at Loftus Road four years ago, Nick Flores was the head coach of Patrick Amber. ”

Lu Ling in front of the TV didn't see this scene, as soon as the whistle blew, she began to rewind, but she missed the entire first half. 166 Reading Network
