End of October. Cold morning in London. Cloudy.

Before dawn, Lu Ling had just come back from a jogging lap outside. She was covered in sweat. But his ears were red from the cold, and his head was blown out. She kind of regretted not wearing a hat. She glanced at Patrick's house before going home, and she wished him a good night's sleep. This afternoon's QPR is away to Chelsea.

She got home and made a cup of tea after taking a shower.

The highlights of the season so far are airing on TV. Entering the advertising time, there is still her, and there is Pat.

It seems that all the focus is on her, Pat, this team.

In the past month, Lu Ling has been trying to make himself face his current results with a calm mind. But it's hard to do. It's like an injection of adrenaline, and every moment she feels like she's in the most excited state. Like her, there was Patrick and all the players on the team.

She suddenly felt that she didn't have enough intelligence to balance it all.

She only knows that life won't give you everything, and maybe it will take away something from you at any time. That made her feel uneasy.

She was, sure enough, never an optimist.

She finished her tea, threw away her tea bag, and prepared to wash her cup and go to Harrington. She stood up and looked up to see the gestures of the pretty boy on the screen.

"I guess there's nothing to hide, that's where all my good fortune is. He said when asked about that celebration last time. Later, he comes home and tells her that she is his luckystar.

Perhaps, she could have been optimistic.

****

Both Campbell and Leon had minor injuries. At yesterday's pre-match press conference, Lu Ling said the situation and said that neither of them may be able to play.

Some Chelsea fans and media ridiculed online that this may be Christine Lue's smoke, fog and bullets.

But in fact, both men were on the bench in this game, and only Leon was on the bench.

Despite being at home, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte's strategy has been surprisingly conservative.

The formation of three central defenders, two forwards receive high balls in the frontcourt, and the back court concisely sends long passes forward, and then uses Batshuayi's ability to fight down and insert the back row......

This was Conte's tactics for the Italian national team at last year's European Championships. This is the practice of taking the initiative to show weakness, but fighting a tough battle with extreme running input and impact.

In other words, Conte has played QPR as a strong team and has not hesitated to pull down his face at home Stamford Bridge to deal with Kristen Lu, who has been unstoppable lately.

The Italian is very good at targeting, and his defensive system always has someone following Patrick while also cutting off his line of receiving the ball.

And the person who is eyeing him is often the French defender N'Golo Kante, who caused problems for Patrick last season.

For unknown internal reasons (according to the media it is a feud with Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho), N'Golo Kante left the Reds this summer and was brought in by Antonio Conte for a high price.

Having been sent off against Patrick last season, N'Golo Kante was extra cautious this time and did a good job of the manager's mandate.

If Campbell or Leon are on the pitch, they might be able to hold the ball up front and spread out some of Chelsea's forces.

But now on the field, Patrick is almost alone. And the tall striker Artem Dzyuba was not very efficient in handling the ball this time.

In the 27th minute, Michy Batshuayi's header found Eden Hazard, and the Belgian fired a shot from the edge of the box.

The ball had a strong spin and QPR goalkeeper Hans tried to grab it with his hands.

There was a slight friction between the ball and the glove, and then it slipped.

Oscar, who followed up, fired a follow-up shot into the door behind Hans.

This is the first time this season that QPR has trailed its opponents in a race.

Hans slammed his hands on the ground.

Lu Ling looked at Hans, and then looked back at Tim behind him, Tim's face was not very good.

They both knew that this was the habit of the German boy. He likes to hold the ball firmly with his hands rather than block it, which often works and is intimidating due to his pincer-like hands.

In the vast majority of cases, this is indeed an advantage.

But......

Eden Hazard's ball spun strongly, Hans was overconfident, and it was when the situation couldn't be opened......

Lu Ling sometimes forgets Hans's actual age. In this way, he is indeed still a child.

The first half continued like this.

Chelsea are 1-0 ahead of Queens Park Rangers, the most in-form team in Europe.

Intermission.

Tim was about to go and say a few words to Hans, but Lu Ling stopped him.

Not the time.

Goalkeeper coach Gavin Ward was talking to Hans about the goal conceded. Gavin is a cautious man who knows Hans well, and he will give him some advice from a technical level. Lu Ling believed him.

Hans looked up and saw that the manager was staring at him. He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly.

There was no emotion in his eyes, and he was still calm. Lu Ling knew that he was not in a good mood. The truth is, she's not in a good mood either. She wanted to reprimand the kid more than Tim. But she feels that if she does so now, it may lead to disastrous results.

Moreover, she is not only in a bad mood. She was still agitated.

She doesn't want to end the winning streak.

She doesn't care about Hans anymore, she has time and she has to try to make the players as clear as possible about what to do in the second half.

Lu Ling slapped the tactical board vigorously, "Everyone concentrates!"

****

At the start of the second half, Patrick Amber dropped deep. This is Lu Ling's tactical requirement, so that Pat and Zixiang can get closer and seek cooperation.

Patrick picked up the ball at the back and made a simple pass to Zixiang as they found Chelsea's right flank, flanked by Cesar Azpilicueta, and began to cut the cross.

Zixiang cut forward, Azpilicueta was taken away, and immediately sent Trek to start dribbling the ball.

He rushed towards Kante. He knew his opponent was lightning fast, but he suddenly picked the ball into the air.

What is N'Golo Kante's weakness when he is the world's No. 1 midfielder?

He was extremely fast, quick on his feet, tireless as if he had a motor installed, and at the same time calmly terrifying.

But, he was too short.

Patrick's instincts were that this pass turned into a scramble for the ball in the air, and that he had a better chance of succeeding.

He kicked straight to the ground quickly, jumped over Kante's head, and then flipped the ball up with his head.

Patrick then pressed his shoulders against Kanter, who was much shorter than him, and then pushed his head down again, before the whole man walked over Kante.

In front of them were Vargas and Yu Zixiang, and the two were thrusting forward in different directions.

Patrick waited for a moment, then sent a through ball, Vargas received the ball, and the Chilean pushed it -

The ball is in!

QPR equalised in the 49th minute.

Patrick then switched his approach to N'Golo Kante, leaning on his body and then asking for the ball.

Like a retraced center...... Lu Ling thought to himself. Although Pater is not a centre-forward, he is smart, perhaps intuitively, knows how to deal with Kante most efficiently.

Patrick received the ball and he got around Kante once again.

David Luiz flew over for the tackle. Even the man tackled the ball to Patrick.

Referee Mike Jones immediately took the whistle in his mouth, but only for less than a second.

Patrick got up again! He staggered, then shot the ball toward the goal—

It was a right-footed shot, extremely tricky.

Overtake!

It was Patrick Amber's 14th Premier League goal of the season and made it nine in a row in all competitions.

58 mins, Chelsea 1:2qpr.

But then, Patrick fell to the ground, in some pain. He didn't even have time to celebrate the goal.

All members of the coaching staff froze the moment they jumped up.

Sky Sports gave Kristen Lue a close-up of her face as she stared motionlessly at Patrick as she fell to the ground.

The team doctor had already arrived at the beautiful boy who had fallen on the field.

But Patrick quickly got up and signaled that he was okay. He limped a few times, and the fans responded with the same gesture.

Tim walked up to Lu Ling's side, "There's one game in midweek, and then we're going to play Manchester City. ”

She hesitated for a few seconds before she said to the TA, "Let Leon warm up." ”

On the field, Patrick was running hard, but the expression on his face still seemed a little painful.

On 63 minutes, Patrick was replaced by Leon. He was a little surprised and a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. Tim went over and tapped him on the shoulder, telling him to quickly put on his down jacket. He nodded as he drank his water.

The rest of the time is very painful for QPR.

Leon wasn't in the best physical condition, and Vargas was looking a little too tired. They never had a decent attack behind them.

Chelsea were awarded a free-kick in the final minute of stoppage time.

Willian fired the ball straight over the wall for another spinning shot.

Lu Ling's heart tugged, for God's sake, don't try again......

Hans still tried to catch the ball with his hands.

He missed again......

Maybe it's because his mentality is not very stable, and his hands are all wrong.

The ball landed in front of Diego Costa and the Chelsea striker lifted his foot and found the back of the net.

The game ended.

The final score was 2:2.

It was the first game that QPR didn't win this season.

But even so, after ten rounds of the Premier League, QPR has won an astonishing 9 wins and 1 draw, accumulating 28 points, and is still at the top of the standings.

If it weren't for the end of the winning streak, a point at Stamford Bridge wouldn't have been too bad. But the players and coaches of the QPR are still more or less disappointed.

After Lu Ling shook hands with Conte, he walked towards the field. She patted every player on the shoulder and told them that they were doing a good job and that they were now going to the away fan zone.

Finally, a tall German boy with his gloves off walked up to her.

Lu Ling hugged him first and patted him on the back, which meant encouragement. Hans's body was a little stiff. She quickly let go of him, stared into his eyes and said, "We'll need to talk later." ”

Hans nodded slightly.

Lu Ling walked past him.

She walked in front of the blue and white with all the players and applauded the fans to thank them. They were cheering and singing for the team all the time.

Patrick came to Lu Ling's side in a down jacket.

He clapped his hands and said to her, "If you don't change me, maybe we'll win this fight." ”

Lu Ling also covered his mouth, "I don't like to repeat it over and over again, you can't question my decision, replace you, I have my reasons." ”

"Baby, if it were Leon or Ian, would you still replace it?" he asked, tilting his head over at her.

"What do you mean?" she frowned.

He shrugged his shoulders, the expression on his face was a little strange, there was a smile, but there was also helplessness.

She turned, and so did he.

He leaned into her ear and continued, "I think you care too much about me. ”

"Are you questioning my professionalism?" she displeased.

"Isn't it?" he asked her.

"It's not. She picked up her pace, and there was a bunch of things waiting for her. 166 Reading Network
