Everton's match against Leicester City, the score was also 4-0.

Everton scored four goals.

The Toffees, who were playing away from home, had 74% possession and were crushed all over the field, and if it weren't for Lukaku's soft feet, it would have been a more terrifying score.

It's not just good.

Leicester's King Power Stadium is not easy to play.

Lu Ling shook the breadcrumbs on his fingers, his eyes always staring at the screen.

Nicks' side looked more well-rounded this season, with the first two of their four goals coming in positional battles that broke down the opposition's dense defense. Romelu Lukaku was the fulcrum, Dembele drove the ball and Ross Barkley followed up to easily break down Leicester's defence in what seemed like space was tight.

The first goal was a trio of three before Dembele entered the box and beat the goalkeeper with ease.

The second goal was the addition of full-backs, and it was new signing Brahimi who came off the bench to form an astonishing attacking group with left-back Gaya and forward Ross Barkley, who scored the ball after Brahimi crossed.

The third goal was scored from a set-piece under siege. A free-kick was awarded after a sustained siege up front, and Forness Mori headed home from a free-kick.

The fourth goal was a one-on-one strike by Ross Barkley on the counter-attack.

And when Leicester's few fast attacks came out, Everton's ability to retreat quickly and the mature rotation when defending made the opponent unable to exert his strength and play a sustained attack.

Lu Ling felt that he needed to look back at the whole game before he could have a clearer understanding of Nick's thinking about building an offensive system and a defensive system. But even what was reflected in the highlights of these ten minutes already made her feel a headache.

She couldn't help but think that if Nick's Champions League signing luck is good, maybe Everton can also perform in Europe.

In other games, Arsenal beat Bournemouth 1-0 at home. Chelsea won 2-0 away at promoted Brighton. Liverpool drew 0-0 at home to Southampton. Manchester United beat Swansea 2-1 at home. Except for Liverpool's draw, Manchester City and Tottenham have won the game tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Lu Ling was about to turn off the TV, when a newspaper headline appeared on the TV screen:

nickyounaughtyboy!h!

Nick, you naughty guy (sexually suggestive)!Score on and off the field (sexually suggestive too)!

- Daily Star

She turned up the volume a little, and the background sound was the laughter of the host and guests in the studio, followed by Lineker's teasing: "Maybe Nick's recent off-court life is indeed like a rock star, but his team is also rock today." ”

And another newspaper headline:

patrickhatrick!sparkdebut

Patrick's hat-trick and Lue make their new Queen's Park league debut

- Daily Mail

Lineker continued: "Amber's second Premier League hat-trick, guess how many he will score this season?"

Finally, there is the standings.

In the standings, Everton and QPR have exactly the same number of points, goals scored and goal difference, but because of alphabetical order, Everton is in first place, followed by QPR.

The scene cuts to the BBC studio, and Lineker shows a charming smile with a little bit of announcer:

"Two 4:0, two upstarts, two old acquaintances, and now they are in first and second place in the standings. This season in the Premier League is sure to be unimaginably exciting. Oh don't forget, there's a Manchester City game tomorrow. Good night. ”

When Lineker's voice fell, Pat's voice rang out: "Good morning baby." ”

Lu Ling turned off the TV, looked up and smiled at the shirtless man on the stairs, "Good morning monster." ”

He walked over and kissed her, then went to the kitchen. He turned his back to her, poured his coffee, and asked, "How are Everton doing this year?" and I know they're 4-0 too. ”

"Seems to be strong. Of course, it's too late to tell, after all, it's only one game. Moreover, it is only a ten-minute highlight. Lu Ling stood up and glanced at the clock on the wall, she was almost going to Harrington.

Patrick poured his coffee, turned around and took a sip as he walked over to her, "You didn't sign my balls yesterday. ”

"Do you want it every time?" Lu Ling was about to go upstairs when he heard his words, stopped and turned around and said, "I have no words to use." ”

Patrick glanced at the time and walked over and put his arm around her, "Just sign your name." ”

Lu Ling touched his chin, a little scumbag, it felt very good. She stared at his chin and said slowly, "Bring the ball over at night." Now, I'm going to change my clothes. ”

He still hugged her, "Tina, you don't want to ...... before going to work"

"We signed an agreement once a week in the morning. ”

"Oh that. Patrick kissed her, feigning doubt, "And, three times a week?"

Lu Ling pushed him away with a smile and walked upstairs, thinking in his mouth, "How long are you going to laugh at me because of this?"

"Until I get tired of it. ”

"And when are you going to get tired of this joke?" her voice was a little farther away, and she should have entered the room.

Patrick put down his coffee cup and went upstairs as well.

"It may take a while. He said as he pushed open the bedroom door, where she was changing.

There was a sound of squirming in the bedroom.

"I have to go, Pat. ”

"Good. ”

"I really...... Gotta go. ”

"I hear you. ”

"You don't follow the protocol ......"

"I'm just overdrawing for next week. ”

"You said that last week......"

"Really?"

“……”

****

Manchester City comfortably beat promoted Newcastle 3-0 away that afternoon, leaving Pep Guardiola's side third behind Everton and QPR.

Lu Ling was watching the game while talking to Simon.

Today the players had only a simple break and a short recovery session. And Lu Ling's focus all day was on transfer matters.

Simon had already made a second offer to Manchester United and Arsenal earlier today.

The offer for Mensah has been raised to £25 million, while the offer for Campbell has been raised to £20 million.

Arsenal were quick to reply. Simon enthused over the phone: "Arsenal are willing to accept the offer because they don't want to sell to Tottenham, and then the player himself would prefer to stay in London rather than go to Liverpool, so there should be no problem. However, they also hope that in the future we will get a 20% transfer fee when we resell. ”

"Much like their style. Lu Ling laughed, and Pep was being interviewed on TV. She pressed a pause, and after the phone call with Simon, she wanted to hear what the Catalans had to say. She asked, "What about Timothy?"

'On Mensah's side, Manchester United's attitude is a bit vague. But because the players have already submitted their transfer requests, they know it's going to be hard to keep people, so I think they might want to ask for a little more – we're going to do it again, 28 million. I don't think Manchester United care about the extra 3 million. But this figure is slightly better, and the pressure on the side of public opinion will not be too great. ”

Lu Ling knew that because Manchester United might let Mensah go, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Red Devils fans, and some people even compared this transfer with Pogba's departure that year: "Do we have to spend a lot of money to buy Mensah back in a few years?"

But looking at Simon's meaning, the deal is also approaching.

She was a little excited, "Simon, this is amazing. Thank you very much. One thing, I still hope to sign in the next two days, so that I can train with the team on Thursday and Friday. ”

"I think it's okay, Christine. I'll do it as soon as possible, and I don't want any other team to come up with an interception deal all of a sudden. I'm going to submit Mensah's final offer in a moment. As for Campbell, I'll go to his agent, Bastica, for personal terms later. Hope all the best. ”

Lu Ling was satisfied, "Good luck, Simon." She hung up.

Then she replayed the TV.

The Manchester City boss said in an interview: 'We played well and of course we could have scored more. The reporter also mentioned the two 4-0s from QPR and Everton, so he responded: "Yes, I was surprised by their performance, but this is the first round of the league and I want to say anything too early. Then the reporter mentioned Manchester United, the Catalans were a little impatient, although it was not obvious, "Arsenal, Chelsea have also won, and it looks like everyone is well prepared this season." This is good. The Premier League is very competitive and that's why I'm here in this league. I'm looking forward to this season. ”

Lu Ling remembered that Nick said something similar when he watched motd in the morning-

"Is the qpr also 4:0? I don't know. 'QPR is a Saturday game at three o'clock and Everton is a game at half past five, so theoretically he should know the scoreline.

"We're happy we won. Every round of the league counts. But this is only the first round, and the season is still very long. The Premier League is full of competition and I love it. I hope we'll be at the top of the table after the next round of the league. ”

She turned off the TV.

This season, oh, it's going to be a season of fighting.

Lu Ling returned home in the evening and signed his name on the ball that Patrick brought home for the third time. The sentence left was:

“hand... inbed.” (For my monster, the performance on the court and in bed is excellent.) ）

Patrick glanced at it casually, and when she was done, he took it and read it aloud, the end of which dragged on for a long time. Even the eyebrows are proud.

Lu Ling muttered, "Leprick." (Oh fuck you, you little bastard)" and was about to snatch the ball from his hand.

Patrick wouldn't give it to her, and got into a fight with her in the house.

"Baby, you wrote it yourself, I just read it. ”

"I've changed my mind, I'm going to cross that sentence out!"

"It's too late. He put down the ball, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her. She was still muttering, and he smiled and touched the back of her head, "Okay, okay".

After a while, he left her lips, and his gaze and voice became serious and soft: "Tina, the first time I kissed you was after the second hat trick, and it was also at that time that you discovered my secret. ”

Not only that, but that night he told her for the first time that he loved her.

Not only that, but there is another person involved......

Lu Ling was stunned for a few seconds. Patrick realized something, too.

They spoke at the same time:

"You want ......"

It's a little embarrassing.

"I've got to go to bed early tonight. You should too. Lu Ling said.

Patrick kissed her cheek, "Good, good night, Tina." Then he let go of her and left her house with the ball in his arms.

****

On Monday night, Tottenham drew 2-2 at West Ham.

At this point, the first round of the Premier League is over.

Lu Ling sat in her office staring at the standings, Nick said she hoped her team would be at the top of the table in the next round, and she wanted her team to be at the top of the table in the next round.

Interesting.

And, the opponent in the next round -

Mauricio Pochettino, we are meeting again. 166 Reading Network
