177 Chapter 177

Lu Ling walked to the locker room while talking to Tim about the situation in the first half, and Patrick chased after him, he habitually wanted to put his arm around her waist, but he quickly withdrew his hand as soon as he realized something.

She turned her head to him and smiled and said, "That goal is beautiful, and what is more beautiful than that goal is the process of scoring the goal, but I'm a little worried that you will give you a look when you go to the national team Walker." ”

Patrick didn't care, "It should be fine." ”

They pushed open the locker room door, and Tim looked back and praised, "Dazzling technology, Patrick, it's dazzling." ”

Patrick said thank you and walked over to his locker. Lu Ling glanced at him, he was talking to Ian, and his eyes happened to catch a glimpse of her, and he winked at her. Lu Ling smiled at him. He then turned his head and continued to discuss the first half with Tim.

She spoke to the players afterwards and in addition to boosting morale, she also highlighted Tottenham's strong athleticism, and the fact that everyone may have been less physical in the second half should not be taken lightly.

She definitely didn't want anything to happen to the three.

Yesterday, Manchester City won 1-0 at home to Liverpool and Chelsea also won 1-0 at home to Leicester City. Ninick's side are still at the top of the table after beating the Gunners 2-0 at home.

And what the Everton boss said in his post-match press conference has been rumoured from last night to today.

When asked by a reporter if he would be watching the QPR against Tottenham tomorrow, the Spaniard had a ridiculous smile on his face.

His answer was: couldn't careless.

When they were in love, he said at the press conference that I care more about the results of the QPR than you do, and everyone here knows that. Now, he also admits that he doesn't have that much time to focus on teams that don't have anything to do with him.

The Sunday Sun even made an article about it: Not a friend! He said he didn't care at all!

The article also specifically mentioned that last season in White Hart Lane, Christine Lue's life-and-death battle, the Spaniard even came to the scene in person. But in less than a year, everything has changed.

That's probably why Tottenham fans are singing "She was dumped by Nick" with such gusto.

Actually, it's not entirely unrelated. Lu Ling thought.

I really want the top spot.

Very.

****

Second.

Tottenham launched a frantic offensive amid the shouts of the home fans.

Harry Kane, who finished a long-range shot from outside the box, looked like he didn't threaten. But Tottenham's Lamela suddenly appeared in the box and stabbed the ball, which hit Nedham's arm in the box.

Referee Andre Marriner's whistle blew and his finger pointed to the penalty spot.

Lu Ling on the sidelines was in disbelief, she spread her hands, and the expression on her face was very surprised.

Her team was awarded penalties in two consecutive rounds!

And, because Marriner thought Nedham was handball on purpose, he pulled out a yellow card.

The captain of the QPR first stayed there in disbelief, and then began to plead loudly to the referee.

Lu Ling did not believe that Nedham had handballed the ball deliberately, and she was also emotionally approaching fourth official Michael Oliver on the sidelines to protest.

Pochettino also took two steps to this side, babbling: "That's a deliberate handball!"

"Mauricio, if you don't mind, I'm talking to Michael!"

The Argentine shrugged his shoulders and pouted: "I'm just telling the truth." There was nothing wrong with the yellow card. ”

Lu Ling sneered, "Oh come on, if it were Tottenham, you wouldn't say that." ”

Seeing that the two managers were about to argue, Oliver hurriedly made a stop gesture to both sides and said, "I'm sure my colleague will make a fair decision, now, please all step back, okay?"

Lu Ling turned around, and then she saw a scene that surprised her even more.

The referee showed Nedham a red card.

Lu Ling hurriedly asked the teaching assistant, "Tim, tell me what the fuck happened?"

Tim shook his head, "Nedham was a little out of control, he tapped Marriner on the shoulder and got a second yellow card. ”

"Is he crazy?" Lu Ling roared in a low voice.

If it is true that Nedham did not deliberately handball and the referee misjudged the ball, then the action of slapping the referee on the shoulder was 100% wrong.

Since last season, the rules of the Premier League have become more stringent. Any confrontation with the referee or inappropriate physical contact will result in at least a yellow card.

The time shown on the scoreboard for White Hart Lane is 53 minutes. But the QPR is going to be ten people to fight. And there was a penalty to face.

The entire stadium was filled with cheers from the home fans. The away fans were so frightened by the red card that they forgot to scold them.

Lu Ling looked at the field and kept shaking his head.

Nedham was walking off the field, his facial expression still a little dazed. Ian followed two steps and patted the captain on the shoulder, the Scottish boy whispering something in Nedham's ear.

Nedham seemed to settle down a little after listening to this, and he walked to the sideline and said to the manager, "Sorry, boss. ”

The few seconds when Lu Ling was most angry had passed, the players were human beings, and she couldn't expect them not to make mistakes. What's more, in her opinion, this time it was the referee who made the mistake first.

She tapped him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it, Nedham, it always happens." ”

Nedham's expression was very guilty. He took two steps and remembered that he hadn't taken off the captain's armband.

Lu Ling took the armband from him, and then called Ian over, and she asked the Scottish boy to put it on.

It was the first time twenty-year-old Ian Parker wore the captain's armband and the camera gave him a close-up.

He patted the captain's armband and held his head high, the expression on his face more resolute than ever.

When Christine told him he was going to be the team's third captain, he couldn't believe it.

That is, when Nedham and Robert are not on the court, he is the captain. And Ian can probably guess that neither Nedham nor Robert will be the main force this season, which means-

For the vast majority of the game, he was the captain of this team!

He was very, very emotional and stammered, "I don't know, Christine, boss, I mean, I'm honored, but ......"

Christine, however, has a lot of faith in him, saying: "You have a brave heart and I think when you're captain on the pitch you can bring something different to this team. I trust my vision, Ian. Captain Ian. ”

Now, Scot Ian Parker ran towards the box and patted his team-mates next to him.

"We're going to win this game!" his voice was firm.

****

Andre Marriner's final whistle blew after five minutes of stoppage time.

White Hart Lane fans were dejected, and the scoreboard was 0-1.

The fans cheered as the QPR travelers cheered and their players rushed to the stands here to greet them.

Patrick took off his jersey and waved to the stands as he walked over to Hans.

"What did you think, Hans?"

The Germans tilted their heads to look down at him. Then, the left corner of the mouth rises slightly.

Patrick looked up at the 195-year-tall giant and thought to himself, this guy's expression was the same as it had been then.

At that time, Harry Kane put the ball on the penalty spot.

For the second game in a row, Hans leaned over slightly and looked directly at the opposing penalty player.

Because of the harsh sunlight on the other side, he put on his hat in the second half of the day, but he could still see the eagle-like gaze in the shadow of the brim.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Patrick noticed the expression. He actually smiled when his opponent took a penalty!

In the last game against Middlesbrough, Hans didn't technically save Negredo's penalty directly. But his hand was extremely close to the ball, and the ball eventually hit the post, suggesting that if that shot had been in goal, it would have been saved by Hans. Kane should know that.

The Tottenham striker lowered his head, ran and struck at goal.

The ball was quite powerful and flew into the top corner of the goal, an angle that the goalkeeper would normally be barely able to save.

But Hans flew, really flew.

Patrick stared at the German's massive body and leaped sideways into the air.

He remembered for a moment that in the pre-season fitness test, Hans had a vertical jump of 97cm. It's an NBA player's bounce power, combined with his height and long reach, not to mention, he directly broke all existing strength test records on the QPR team.

This horrific physical condition......

At that time, Hans's body was almost parallel to the beam.

Then he slammed the ball out with his left hand!

After that, Tina replaced Raymond with Mensah, and held on with one man less. Glenn was brought on late in the game to increase the number of centre-backs, and Vargas was given the opportunity to come off the bench to keep the counter-attacking threat alive.

Hans continued to save three dangerous balls in the next 40 minutes to keep two clean sheets in a row.

At this point, the German, who was standing next to Patrick and thanking the fans, looked into the stands and said: "The owner told me about some of Kane's characteristics on Monday. So I went specifically to study him. In the last two seasons, the key penalty, he must have shot into the corner. Moreover, the goalkeeper's weaker hand is often chosen. So he wanted to hit me in the upper corner on the left-hand side. ”

Then, taking off his hat, throwing it into the stands, he continued:

"But, I don't have a weak hand. I thought I had a 50% success rate, so I jumped as soon as he hit the ground. ”

Patrick chuckled, "Youbadass. )”

"Iamabadass, justlikeyou." the German turned his head and pouted at Patrick with a smile.

After that, both men stretched out their right fists and touched each other.
