"Yes, we need to attack, so I changed to a back four. JT is a very good centre-back, and it has nothing to do with his ability. Will it continue to be used in the final? I won't say it here. β
'LeΓ³n's first goal was crucial and the timing was fantastic, it took the pressure off everybody. Pate's final goal helped us get to the final, and that goal was something I couldn't have imagined. But I would say that in this victory, every player is crucial. β
"Oh yes, he's already a world-class player, I like him a lot and I want to work with him in the future. β
"He (Massimo) knows what he said, I've already said it, I won't reveal it, I don't want to judge. β
'Of course I'm excited, everybody, but I'll remind them there's a Premier League game at the weekend. β
"I didn't expect them to slip on their knees, I didn't stand on my feet, there was something wrong with my heel. β
'We're looking forward to the Champions League final, but we still have some games to play before then, including the all-important FA Cup. As you know, the FA Cup was my first title, and it means a lot to me. I want to take it again. β
"Oh yes, I know he (Nick) is there. No, I didn't see him. I believe he saw what he wanted to see. β
"Sixth? Seventh, I guess so. Two wins, two draws, two defeats. I have a good memory. I should remember the score, but there's no point in repeating it. Maybe I'll bring a notebook to read at the pre-match press conference for the Champions League final, in case my memory goes wrong. β
"I'm still the manager of QPR. Pat is also still a player for QPR. β
"Thank you, even though we haven't actually won the trophy [in the Premier League] yet. β
"Triple crown, quadruple crown? If I say I didn't think about it, you wouldn't believe it. We want to win everything we can. It's been a season that's hard to describe in words and I don't want to leave any regrets. β
Coming out of the post-match press conference, Lu Ling hurriedly walked to the locker room with his head down. Her ankle hurt a little, she was too excited to pay much attention to it. She thought about hurrying back to the locker room and asking Alice to spray her with refrigerant. She should have sprayed earlier, and now that the best time to spray is over, the effect will be much worse, but it's better than nothing.
Gradually, her pace slowed down. Sometimes pain can drive you forward, and sometimes it can make it difficult to move. She crossed the former and came to the latter. So she tried to divert her attention.
In fact, the Manchester Evening News reporter was not wrong, she has played Nick five times in official games, all in the league, and has not met in the FA Cup and League Cup. And she said six times, counting the friendly match in Los Angeles last summer. Maybe it was her mistake, and the outcome of that friendly match was not worth indicating. Then, counting only those five times, she has a slight advantage.
Besides, oh, she had to talk to Pat about leaving. But not tonight, not tomorrow. Preferably after the league this week. Yes, it's a good time.
In this short distance, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Also, I have to take the time to call my mother, she can book flights and hotels.
Lu Ling can finally see the away dressing room at the San Siro. Milan's dressing room, the door is tightly closed. Massimo hasn't been to the post-match press conference yet, so he should still be speaking inside. She smiled, thinking that the reporters would have to wait a little longer. She walked a few steps slowly, the door of the visiting dressing room was half open, and the sound of music and shouting reached her ears.
Are these boys going to spend the night in Milan? Why don't they get a shower and get on the bus? They weren't in a hurry, she was in a hurry to get back to London.
What did she just tell the reporter, there is still a league to play on the weekend!
Darryl was coming out, saw the head coach, smiled and said, "It's fast." β
Lu Ling smiled and nodded. She continued walking in the direction of the locker room and heard two voices, which she thought she had misheard, and turned to Darryl in confusion.
Daryl shrugged helplessly and said with a smile: "It's Zixiang and Pierre." β
Lu Ling looked surprised, and then walked into the locker room.

Saturday 15 May, West London.
The purity of the sky blue, the purity of it is like a false painting.
Under the sky, in the new Queen's Park stadium, there is a festive atmosphere.
This is the 37th round of the Premier League. QPR has actually won the title, but theoretically, they still need to get a point in this round to confirm an early victory.
After Wednesday night's battle at San Siro, a huge banner was unfurled in the stands of the new Queen's Park -
king amber
In this atmosphere, the QPR players were treated like heroes from the pre-match warm-up.
The match followed suit. Bournemouth, who had already managed to survive relegation, did not put up much resistance, so the game turned into a QPR coronation celebration.
Patrick Amber, who scored a fabulous goal at the San Siro, opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a left-footed volley to give QPR the lead, Phil was tripped in the box and awarded a penalty in the 11th minute, Patrick scored twice, and in stoppage time in the first half, Phil scored a solo goal.
Entering the second half, Leon Ferreira, who had cramped at the San Siro and was no longer in trouble after the break, replaced Phil and immediately ushered in a new wave of applause and cheers.
The Uruguayan and Patrick scored twice in the second half to make it 7-0, and Patrick, who had scored four goals himself, was substituted in the 78th minute, breaking Gabriel Jesus' previous record for the most goals in a single season in Premier League history with his third and fourth goals in the game, reaching 38 goals and a total of 56 league goals.
Patrick came off the pitch with his hands above his head to thank the home fans at the new Queen's Park. The home fans gave a standing ovation. After that, they sang a brand new song for him:
oh amber\s **ing magic
he earagic hat
and hensa ne queen\s park
he saiancy that!
he didn\t sign for madrid
or psg cos they are **e
he signed for the rangers
cos they are **ing dynamite!
After that, the cries of "King King King" and the singing of "He\S Oneour On" also rang out from all sides of the stadium.
The game is over. Queens Park Rangers became the Premier League champions for the 2020-21 season. With two games left (one replay and the 38th round of the Premier League), they have 96 points. And this point has already set a record for points in the history of the Premier League. The 114 goals are unmatched.
Lu Ling walked around the field with the players and greeted the fans. The trophy will be awarded after next Wednesday's make-up match, at home to Liverpool. And that game will also be the last game of the season for QPR at home.
With the shout of "queen queen queen", Lu Ling slowly walked towards the players' tunnel. Her ankle still hurt a little, but it didn't hinder her movement at all. She knew in her heart that there was only one home game left. She also knew that she would not come back after leaving this time. She was reluctant, but she decided to stay until next Wednesday night. Or could it really be shown at that time? She looked back at the blue sky, at the fans who were still reluctant to leave the stadium, and her emotions had begun to pile up.

On Saturday nights, Harrington was quiet. The head coach's office is brightly lit.
On the desk is the newspaper of the past few days. The headlines on the end of every one are QPR, it's all Kristen Lu, it's all Patrick Amber.
Patrick sat across from the head coach and picked up one of them and looked at it. There is music flowing in the office, a famous song by a British rock band that was very popular in the last century. They all loved it. He and she had hummed together in her bedroom many years ago.
The scene was a bit like it is now. She lay in front of the computer writing her paper, frowning. He sat on the carpet reading a book, looking up at her from time to time. They would talk a little bit about her dates, his dates, exams and papers, and the Premier League on the weekend.
Patrick looked up, staring at the computer screen as if she was lost in thought. With a gentle smile on his face, he lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper in his hand. There is a picture on it of him carrying her out of the bus. He remembered the situation at that time, and he still felt a little remorseful. His prank with that idiot of Phil caused her ankle to twist.
That night, Pierre and Zixiang spent a long time in their dressing room, taking a lap of selfies. Pierre later asked for her cell phone number, and was teased by a group of teammates. Phil even picked up Pierre, who probably didn't expect that he would also carry someone else, and asked the Frenchman if he wanted to go back to London with him, or simply join the Queen's Blue and White Army. Pierre is adamant and proud to say that he is a Real Madrid player.
But Pierre's other joke, Pierre didn't understand. "Then you can't join another club. "I fell in love with my manager's club. But Phil didn't say it directly.
They finally said goodbye to Zixiang and Pierre, there was no reluctance, but they had mixed emotions. See you in Barcelona on June 5th. It won't be that easy then. Everybody knows. Along with the excitement and excitement of qualifying for the finals, there is tension and pressure. Of course, it's the good tension and the pressure, the tension and the pressure that all professional footballers dream of.
It wasn't until Zixiang and Pierre left that he knew her foot had twisted. Alice complained a few times that she didn't say it earlier, a small problem, if you deal with it earlier, it won't hurt so much later. She didn't say anything. Patrick felt distressed and amused. She was sometimes extremely soft in front of Alice.
Later, he held her the whole time. She was a little unhappy at first, but finally compromised, probably too much pain. Get on the bus, get off the bus, get on the plane, get off the plane. Nature is captured by countless lenses. And that incident quickly became a hot topic on social media. Pictures are widely circulated, from the Internet to newspapers.
Patrick stared at the picture in the newspaper and suddenly said, "Actually, this one is a good shot." β
She looked up, knowing what he was talking about, and she smiled and didn't speak.
"Tina. β
"What?"
Patrick pursed his lips, "Queens Park Romance said there would be a wedding after the season, and I'm holding you this time for an early rehearsal." β
She pouted, "There is no wedding. β
"Of course. Patrick quickly answered. He was a little cautious, and his voice became softer, "I didn't propose again." Moreover, my future wife is trying her best to have a long-distance relationship with me. 166 Reading Network
