If I don't do something or say something, he'll kiss me. Those few seconds of staring at each other were long, but fleeting. Lu Ling avoided the boy's gaze and opened his mouth slightly, "Oh, Pat, there's something I haven't told you. ”

Patrick knew that moment was over.

He had a strange premonition that if he kissed Tina at some point, she wouldn't refuse. After making sure she was standing firmly, he withdrew his hand and asked softly, "What?"

"Toney said I could coach until the end of the first half of the season, which is when the Christmas-New Year schedule is over. That is to say, my first phase of the probationary period has passed, and now it is the second phase of the probationary period. Lu Ling said and sat back on the armrest of the sofa. In fact, this should have been the first thing she wanted to tell him, but for some reason she didn't say it all night.

"Although this result is not bad......"

Tina moved her ass back, as if trying to keep her feet in the air. The accident happened again, her whole body leaned back, and after shaking twice, her whole body collapsed on the couch, and Patrick tried to help her halfway through his words, but this time he didn't.

Fortunately, there is a soft sofa in the back, she is fine, maybe startled?

He looked down at her, frowning and amused, "Tina, I know you're not drunk, but you're really worrying. ”

Lu Ling put his legs on the armrests, shook his feet, pillowed the back of his head with his hands, and said leisurely, "Actually, this is very comfortable......

Suddenly, Patrick leaned over and put his hands on either side of her head.

This scene seems familiar, Lu Ling closed his eyes, oh, it was the night in Chantilly. She had really drunk too much that night, and he said he would have something to say to her when they got back to London.

I didn't think anything about it at the time, but now I clearly know that the distance between the two is really too close. Nick is here, probably going to be extremely angry.

"Pat......" Lu Ling pulled his hand out, wanting to push him.

"You're reconciled with him, aren't you?" Patrick straightened his waist a little without waiting for her to push him, the two weren't as close as they had just been. He wanted to ask her all night, and he felt that it was pointless, it was inevitable, so why should he ask more.

Tina nodded. She reached out, hoping that he would pull her, and she wanted to get up.

He didn't take her hand and continued to ask, "So he didn't betray you?"

"I don't think so. Lu Ling smiled awkwardly, she hoped that they could quickly return to their previous state, just communicating like good friends, but the boy's two consecutive questions made her uncomfortable.

Patrick sensed Tina's resistance, she was someone else's girlfriend after all, and he promised to accept it......

He sighed, straightened up, and reached out at her, "It's time for you to go home." ”

Lu Ling didn't take Patrick's outstretched hand and stood up on his own.

"Good night, Pat. In the national team, injuries are not allowed. ”

"I'll be careful. I'll take you to your doorstep. ”

"No, I don't. ”

"I insist. ”

Lu Ling didn't refuse again, he walked in front of her, and she knew that he was going to open the door for her.

She glanced at the boy's back, his shoulders were wide and more responsible. He never let her down when the team needed him.

He's had a few ads in recent months, and his commercial value has skyrocketed, and the team will have to talk to him about commercial contracts like image rights.

He is one of Europe's most promising rising stars, and he will be nominated for the European Golden Boy Award and the Puskas Award.

He's so handsome, and he likes to pretend to be cool.

Oh, he's going to be a lot of girls.

It won't be long before he forgets about her.

Maybe at that time, their relationship will go back to the state it was at this time last year.

That would be fine.

Patrick looked back, "Tina, you're so slow, do you want me to carry you back?"

Lu Ling hurriedly quickened his pace.

A young and attractive British-Asian woman suddenly became a hot figure in the whole of British football, and indeed the whole world of football.

Naturally, the local British media praised Christine Lue's QPR for their excellent performances against Tottenham and Manchester City. And the world's major media have also turned the spotlight on the Loftus Road Stadium in west London.

Spain's "As" and "Le Monde Sport", Italy's "Milan Sport" and "Torino Sport", Germany's "Bild" and France's "Team" all launched special topics on QPR within two days, which shows the craze that Christine Lu's team has set off in football in the past two weeks.

Both the media and social media are discussing with interest how such a young, inexperienced woman managed to overcome all odds to get to this position, and even beat experienced managers like Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola?

Lu Ling's agent, Steve Baker, is about to explode in his mailbox, and interviews, sponsorship applications, and advertiser inquiries from all over the world have made the 27-year-old the number one celebrity under Steve - and even Patrick has been overshadowed at this stage.

There are also many invitations from organizations that have nothing to do with football, such as a number of women's rights groups that want Kristen Lue to be their spokesperson to show the advancement of modern women in the affirmative action movement, and some charities that want to work with Kristen Luke.

Of course, there are also many invitations from China, whether from the media, companies, or various organizations, all of them want to explore the value of this young Chinese girl as much as possible.

For these invitations, Lu Ling told Steve that he would only accept a small amount, and all others would be rejected.

She doesn't hate money, never has. Nor does it intend to create a cold external image. It's just that there are so many things to deal with for her right now.

So, in the end, Lu Ling did not accept any commercial advertisements and media interviews, and only took half a day to promote a charity event for UNWomen, which was about strengthening women's social status and more voice in the traditional male industry.

This international break, she'll have a ton of scouting reports to study. And it's likely that you'll need to travel to see some of the games yourself. This qiē is all prepared for the winter transfer window in two months' time.

QPR's thin squad, which was used to the extreme in the two games against Tottenham and Manchester City, is strictly an overdraft and not very sustainable.

Playing like this on the field, there will inevitably be extreme fatigue among the players, injuries and a decline in form.

Lu Ling is very aware of the limitations of the current team, so he attaches great importance to the January transfer window. She needs to strengthen the current QPR squad so much.

Although she is still in the second phase of the probationary period, she is confident. She has to be fully prepared to make the team more stable in the second half of the season than just one or two games of surprise once she has the opportunity to become a full-time manager.

The team is still third from bottom with just nine points, in the relegation zone.

This season's Premier League continues to be extremely competitive, from the title team to the relegation team has invested heavily in the money, and the rich Premier League is undoubtedly the most expensive league.

At present, Manchester City has lost one game, but is still at the top of the table with 28 points from 11 rounds. Nicholas's Everton followed with 27 points.

Jose Mourinho's Manchester United have 24 points after 11 rounds, while Antonio Conte's Chelsea have 23. These four teams occupy the current semi-final spots.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are fifth and sixth respectively, while defending champions Leicester have slipped to 11th place under the pressure of poaching and Champions League fixtures.

And the-for-tat off the field is just as intense. After Pep Guardiola's defeat against QPR, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho gave an exclusive interview to The Guardian, in which he appropriately suggested that Pep Guardiola's side were too arrogant to lose to the bottom team.

Lu Ling saw this interview and felt funny while reading it. is worthy of Jose, on the surface, she is praising her ability as a young coach, but in fact, she is still accusing Sang Huaidi of putting pressure on her old opponent.

Back in the summer, when Jose Mourinho signed with Manchester United, United tried to include a clause in his contract that restricted his words and actions, trying to restrain Jose's usual outrageous style and habit of criticizing opponents, but the Portuguese refused.

In fact, being able to be attacked by Jose is undoubtedly a compliment, Lu Ling thought. After all, in the ninth round, Jose's Red Devils lost in the Manchester derby, and with his style, it is natural to say a few words.

And in the tenth round, after Manchester United drew with Everton, Jose also had nothing good to say about his former assistant Nicholas, but she also communicated with Nick privately, and Nick didn't care.

Lu Ling has already seen the schedule, and QPR will face Jose's Manchester United in almost a month and a half.

Maybe when the time comes, José will shoot himself at the press conference...... If QPR can steal points from the Red Devils. Thinking of this, Lu Ling couldn't help but smile, and was a little looking forward to seeing the Portuguese expression at that time.

Because he was going to Liverpool tonight, Lu Ling left Harrington early. She had to go home first.

She turned her head as she passed by the door of Pat's house, he had already gone to play for the national team and was not at home for the past few days. When she parked the car, her phone vibrated and it was the boy who invited her to FaceTime, and she didn't hesitate and clicked to decline.

But as soon as Lu Ling put the phone in her pocket, the phone began to vibrate again, and she took it out to see that it was not Patter, it was Steve Baker.
