202 Chapter 202

December 9, the fifteenth round of the Premier League.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, at the new Queen's Park, QPR welcomed promoted Brighton at home.

In the cold wind, with the home fans singing "We are at the top of the table", the game began.

The first half of the game was a bit dull, I don't know if it was too cold, and both teams played a little loosely.

That mood seemed to continue in the second half......

The head coach of QPR on the sidelines, Kristen Lu, also looked a little impatient. She kept shouting and making exaggerated gestures on the field.

Manchester City and Everton will meet in this round, which is the best chance to open up the points gap, if this one is drawn...... Lu Ling gritted his teeth, then this group of young boys can stand it when they go back to the locker room!

Because it has been two games a week lately, after this round, there will be a league game away to Everton on Wednesday night, so she rotated several main players in this game. Including Patrick who is sitting on the bench at the moment.

In fact, Tim did not recommend Lu Ling to put Patrick on the bench list before.

The assistant coach said: 'That kid has now scored in 10 consecutive league games, just one game away from Jamie Vardy's record of 11 consecutive Premier League games, you put him on the bench, what do you make him think?'

Lu Ling didn't think about this, but she paid more attention to the game with Everton in the future, and she didn't want Patrick to be too tired.

In the end, she decided to talk to Pat about it directly, as head coach.

Yesterday afternoon, the guy sat at his desk and replied, "I listen to you, boss." I would love to break Vardy's record, but ......," he shrugged, "I also value the game against Everton. Even though I don't think I'll play the whole game tomorrow it won't affect my fitness in midweek. Am I not your monster?" he blinked.

She smiled and pushed him down on the desk, "I'll give you half an hour tomorrow." I'm sure you'll score......" she blinked as well.

In the 52nd minute, Leon Ferreira opened the scoring for QPR with a sudden powerful shot from outside the box. Leon was just a kick and didn't think the goal would go in, because there was no particularly good exit point around him at the time, and Brighton's central defender had already pounced, so he chose to kick up.

The sudden kick left the Brighton goalkeeper unprepared and the ball hung into the top left corner of the net.

After this goal was scored, the state of the whole QPR team was instantly high.

For the next ten minutes, Brighton were bombarded by the home side. QPR added two more goals, a brace from LeΓ³n and a header from Mensah Mensah.

With about half an hour left in the game, QPR led 3:0 at home and basically announced that the three points were in hand.

Lu Ling changed three people in a row.

Patrick, Campbell and Glenn came on in place of Leon, Vargas and Mensah.

On 79 minutes, Campbell scored again.

The score became 4:0.

But then because the QPR players were too relaxed and the defense was loose, this directly led to Brighton's one-on-one goal, and it was two people who broke through the defense together. After conceding the goal, Hans yelled at several players at the back to keep them focused.

Lu Ling could hear the Germans standing on the sideline.

"It's not over yet! We can't concede a goal! We can't concede a single one!"

She put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket and looked at every player on the field, so strong that the wind was blowing into her neck, but she felt that the blood in her body was hot.

And the fans are singing for her.

She raised her hands above her head and gave a brief thank-you.

When she lowered her hand, the QPR scored again.

It was the monster's shot from a small angle.

She jumped up laughing, then shook hands with Tim and hugged them.

He equalled Jamie Vardy's magical record of eleven consecutive Premier League goals.

It was also Patrick Amber's 20th league goal of the season.

After celebrating wildly with his teammates, he ran over to her and smiled and covered his mouth to say something.

"i'randthing..." (I'm a fucking monster for you, and I think I deserve something...) οΌ‰

The match ended with a score of 5:1.

This is the fifth time this season that QPR has won a league game by at least three goals, which shows the team's attacking ability. Defensively, they also conceded the second-fewest goals in the league.

It looks like this upcoming Christmas is blue and white.

Queens Park Rangers' American owner Nathan Neil Lawrence has been tweeting his boss and players every week in recent months.

[We're still at the top of the list.] 】

[I didn't ask the monk to open the light. (Leicester once specially invited a monk from Thailand to open the light, and then won the championship)

[I love you, Pat !!!!]

[I love you, Hans!!!!]

[I love you, Leon !!!!]

[Ok, I love them all!!!]

[I can't talk about her figure and face, but compared to not being able to talk about it, her coaching talent makes people speechless.] 】

Fan Retweet: [I'm really worried that Kristen will leave your club because of this remark. 】

[Patrick Amber is a combination of quarterback and running forward!]

Fan retweeted: "Can you Americans be more stupid? This is football, not handegg!] (Because rugby is called football in the United States, some British fans joked that they should not be called football, but hand balls)

Nathan Neal replied to this fan's retweet -

[I'm just teasing you...... Don't take it too seriously]

And when the QPR defeated Brighton 5:1, Nathan Neal launched a "provocation" to his club's opponent in the next round, the manager of Everton:

[Nick, Christine has three eggs, how many do you have?]

The tweet garnered numerous retweets.

It won't take long for the tweet to reach Everton boss Nick Flores, even if he doesn't want to know anything at all.

Everyone is speculating whether the Spaniard will respond to this tweet from Lawrence Jr.

Lu Ling returned to the locker room after attending the press conference, and many players had already driven home directly from the home stadium. She spoke to the rest of the squad and everyone couldn't be better, looking forward to the away game at Goodison Park in a few days.

Glenn also apologized to her, saying that the loss of the ball had a lot to do with his mental weakness for a second, and she told him not to take it to heart, but not to lose even half a second on the court in the future.

Defenders have always had a low margin for error.

Tim was urging her to go to the coaching staff's office next door. The Manchester City and Everton match is about to begin.

To her surprise, Patrick, Glenn, Hans, and Ian all followed. Looks like they want to watch the game with her and Tim.

That's good, she thought.

On TV, the two Spaniards shook hands and hugged with a smile.

Lu Ling sometimes wonders if something would have been different if Nick had been Pep's assistant instead of Jose's. Interestingly, however, it was already hard for her to imagine Nick getting along with Jose, but it was probably even harder to imagine Nick getting along with Pep.

She bet that with Nick's virtues, really, really would drive Pep crazy. So in that sense, Pep would never hire someone of Nick's character.

Lu Ling turned around and said to Glenn Mitchell: "Glenn, pay attention to how Everton presses the Manchester City central defenders, and how the Manchester City central defenders deal with this pressure. ”

The young England centre-back nodded.

Ian was a little puzzled, why did Kristen specifically emphasize this to Glenn?

The race is on.

Everton faced Manchester City, which had strong ball control ability, and entered an extremely aggressive frontcourt pressure from the opening whistle, which made Manchester City's very good backfield players also forced to breathe for a while, and could only kick frequently.

Lu Ling knows that Everton's tactics have been like this this season, and they have worked well against most opponents in the Premier League, and this excellent pressing tactic can take the initiative and suppress the opponent for a long time.

Nick is fighting Pep for control.

Everton put a lot of energy into pressing in the opening 15 minutes, and it paid off.

The goal arrived, Brahimi cut off John Stones and then crossed the ball to Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian centre-forward made a slight adjustment and immediately fired a furious shot through the Manchester City goal.

Lu Ling noticed that before this goal, in addition to the last two passes, there was another person who was extremely crucial.

That's the young talent of the Netherlands, Van der Bergh. I don't know how Nick deceived Everton, a person who both Real Madrid and Manchester United fancied. However, it is not too surprising, after all, Everton can play in the Champions League. Nowadays, many talented young players will choose a strong team (not the top giants) as a springboard, ensure playing time, and then go to the giants to play the absolute main force after completing beautiful statistics - this is indeed a more rational career choice.

Thinking of this, Lu Ling glanced at Hans, will this German boy's next stop be Bayern?

Hans caught a glimpse of the manager's gaze, but when he went to see her, she had already turned her eyes back to the TV. He thought it was a little strange.

Lu Ling stared at the Dutchman on TV – the mixed-race midfielder with a short pigtail hairstyle, dubbed the "New Rijkaard" by the local Dutch media, and his position was a single midfielder.

It's a difficult position to play, but Van der Bergh has played very well before, with his superhuman physique, and extremely fierce and precise defending, which can interfere well with opponents.

And he can also play with the ball himself – which makes him contribute a lot both offensively and defensively.

The ball was a chain error caused by his ferocious pressing of De Bruyne, which caused the Belgian to make a mistake and rush to pass back to Stones.

After successfully grabbing the opening game, Nick's team began to recycle - a wise choice, Lu Ling thought to himself.

Van der Bergh focused on pinning down Gabriel Jesus, and it was a very intense offensive and defensive dialogue, with the two winning and losing each other.

Gabriel Jesus appeared to have a bit of a fitness problem, or he was a little disrupted by Van der Bergh's madness, and he made two mistakes and was cut off the ball.

Manchester City were scoreless until the end of the first half, with Everton holding a one-goal lead heading into the half-time break. 166 Reading Network
