192 Chapter 192

Nicholas didn't turn off the TV and the next game was the Manchester derby.

He took a sip of his coffee. On TV, Kristen Lue is giving a post-match interview.

She made two glaring mistakes against Chelsea.

First, the young goalkeeper was not reminded to stop grabbing the ball with his hands. Clearly, Antonio Conte has told his players about this characteristic of Hans Bahmeier.

Well, maybe she reminded it, and that didn't count her mistake. Anyway, the nineteen-year-old Germans did not learn their lesson.

Second, she replaced Patrick-Amber. Is this the act of emotion dominating reason?Obviously, Patrick himself knows best about her physical condition, and if he doesn't feel like he can't kick, is she a little too cautious?...... Too caring.

Well, maybe it's because of the next week of double matches, and one of them is against Manchester City.

There is a small slit in the drawer where you can see the pictures inside.

What he threw away himself, he picked it up himself. But what about what he was stolen?

Soon, the second game of Super Sunday began.

The Manchester derby is staged.

Jose Mourinho's side travelled to the Etihad Stadium and were struck by Marcus Rashford in the fifth minute. But towards the end of the game, there was a clash between the two teams, with Manchester United's Luke Shaw being sent off with a red card. City also used the free-kick to equalise with a header from John Stones.

In the end, both teams in Manchester won a point each in this game.

After the game, Mourinho was very scathing in saying that his team had been stolen from the victory. Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, believes that Manchester City are the side that should win from the perspective of the full-time performance.

It was a result that Nicholas was very happy to see, and it meant that his side moved up to second place in the table after ten rounds with three points less than Christine's side.

Top seven in the current standings:

1st place: QPR, 28 points

2nd place: Everton, 25 points

3rd place: Manchester City, 24 points

4th place: Arsenal, 21 points

5th place: Manchester United, 21 points

6th place: Liverpool, 18 points

7th place: Chelsea, 18 points

In the scorers' charts, Patrick Amber topped the list with a horrific 14 goals in the first 10 rounds, with Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus scoring 11 and Everton's Romelu Lukaku netting 10.

Manchester City's Andrea Ε½ivkovic leads the assists list with seven and Patrick six, joint second with Arsenal's Mesut Ozil.

In the next round of the Premier League, the two teams that have been unbeaten in the league so far - QPR and Manchester City - will face off directly at the new Queen's Park.

Kristen Lue vs. Pep Guardiola, and Patrick Amber vs. Gabriel Jesus.

The Spaniard hopes that will also be a draw.

0:0 is a good score.

It's just that that's almost impossible, and these two teams are now the top scorers in the league.

Lu Ling stared at the red poppie pinned to his dark blue coat in a daze. At this time of year, red poppies are always pinned to their coats to remember all the soldiers who lost their lives in the war.

She moved her neck and looked at her watch. Hans should be there shortly. As she thought so, there was a knock on the door.

It's half past three in the afternoon. At three o'clock, the training session was over. The young German had already changed into his own clothes, dressed in plain colors, but in sneakers, very bright. You can still see the strong muscle contours through the tracksuit.

The bouquet of roses on the desk was almost the first thing Hans saw. She leaned back in her chair and gestured to him. He walked over and sat down across from her.

Lu Ling didn't speak in a hurry, and looked at him.

Young boys are different, and if it's Pat, they're basically nonchalant. Maybe like a famous football star who listens to his coach and counts the animals on the wall behind him.

She thought of this and looked back, and then left and right, there were really a lot of things that could distract the players.

Hans couldn't help but smile when he saw the manager's head spin around, and before he could put away his smile, she had already looked at him with a sharp gaze.

He looked back, his gaze equally sharp.

He gives her the feeling that he is always playing a mature man. He plays it well, especially the eyes. But you know, he's just playing.

"I think Gavin [the goalkeeper coach] has already spoken to you about those two goals conceded. Her voice was not very serious, on the contrary, it had a softness that was not quite the same as shouting on the training ground.

He didn't make a sound, bowed his head slightly, and his gaze drifted to the side.

Lu Ling noticed his gaze and glanced at the bouquet of roses. It's still very bright, and I received it this morning. Along with it, there is also information about the person who sent the flowers.

[Finalized the house.] Would you like to go on a date there with me tonight?]

"You know, I'm also a very confident person. She stood up and smiled at him, "I don't have much to say, you have to listen carefully, don't look at the flowers on my desk or count the books on my bookcase." ”

He chuckled, shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "That's not me." ”

"I know. She raised an eyebrow and began to wander around her office, "I just want you to give all your attention to our conversation." ”

"I'm here. His gaze followed her.

"Good. That's right, I'm confident, but you know that sometimes when I play a strong team, I still show weakness or choose a more conservative approach. I'm going to say it very simply, I hope you don't let your self-confidence cloud your judgment. The first ball was an accident, but it had nothing to do with your wrong choice, the second ball was on my head, and if I told you not to grab the ball with your hands at halftime, maybe you wouldn't have lost it. That's right, Antonio Conte must have instructed his players to shoot with strong spin and power, because your habits can lead to you getting off the hook. ”

She finished in one breath without any pause. At the end, she walked up to him and leaned against her desk to look at him.

He didn't respond to her right away, looking like he was thinking.

After a while, he looked at her and said, "The second ball, also my own problem." After a pause, he looked into her eyes, "Also, I'm grateful that you chose to trust me at halftime in that game." For me, it makes a lot of sense. ”

"Your words also make sense to me. I think, see you tomorrow?" Lu Ling said as she straightened up and circled back to her seat.

Hans stood up. But his gaze fell on the bouquet of roses again. He hadn't heard she had a boyfriend. Except for the recent media rumors that Patrick has an unusually close relationship with her, she doesn't even have a rumored boyfriend.

But she does. Otherwise, the bouquet of roses would not have been placed on the desk.

When Hans was about to walk out, Lu Ling suddenly called his name again: "Hans......"

He turned his head to look at her.

"Are you a personal goalkeeper coach? I want to meet him. ”

The German boy was a little surprised, but immediately said, "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Beltz." Then he walked out.

Hans ran into Patrick in the hallway.

"Tina lost her temper with you?"

Hans was stunned for a moment, "No." ”

Patrick patted the German on the shoulder, "She must be serious. ”

"It's fine. ”

"She loves you very much. Patrick said as he walked past him, "(See you later, man)"

Hans also said goodbye and continued on his way. The accents of the two men were so similar, he thought. He took a few steps and stopped. He looked back, and Patrick was already in the manager's office. And, the door was closed.

****

Patrick closed the door and smiled at the woman behind his desk, "You haven't told me your plans for the night yet. ”

"Open the door, Pat. She looked up.

"Tina?"

"I'm serious. She said.

He didn't do what she said, but looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was no one. He went over and kissed her. She didn't refuse, but he was not interested, and he quickly ended the kiss.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked.

"Nope. She kept her eyes glued to the screen, "Pat, there's a game on Thursday and a game against Manchester City on Sunday." ”

"You've been nervous lately. ”

"Yes. "Because he is going to play Manchester City, Lu Ling's nerves are extremely nervous.

He didn't say anything more and sat down across from her.

"One thing......" she looked up.

He looked at her.

'It's just a decision made by a manager in a game. I hope you never think like that. ”

He didn't speak, his eyes darkened.

"You've already mentioned it once in bed last night. His voice was not warm, "There is no need to emphasize it again. ”

"I just wish we could keep our work and our relationship separate. That makes me ...... Not very comfortable. ”

"I see, boss. He stood up and glanced at the flowers he had given him, "Like it?"

She looked at him and curled her eyes, "If I don't like it, I'll put it here?" ”

He was happy again, went around in a circle, half-bent down, and said beside her, "Baby, I really miss you." ”

"We see each other every day. ”

"You know what I mean. ”

"Last night......" she said, taking a deep breath, "I know what you mean. After the Manchester City game, we went on a 'date'. ”

"Good. He kissed her on the cheek and prepared to go out.

But his back paused, and he turned his head again, "Tina, I want to win every game as much as you do, I like the feeling of winning as much as you do, and I, like you, value glory and dreams, and enjoy the purest happiness that football brings." But, you always forget about these. You're not alone. ”

She was surprised that he would say that.

He stood there, no more than half a meter away from her.

She nodded vigorously, but didn't know what to say.

He suddenly said, "I think Gabriel is looking forward to seeing me." ”

"Maybe Pep can't wait to see me. She continued.

He put his finger to his lips and looked at her with a smile and turned around.

She watched him leave.

Sometimes, however, she is lonely. And she enjoyed that feeling.

Lu Ling made some rotations in Thursday's game against Spartak Moscow, and QPR won his fourth Europa League group stage game 3-1. Patrick came off the bench to score a goal and Campbell scored two, but was substituted with a minor injury.

After this game, QPR qualified from the Europa League group two rounds ahead of schedule with a full win record, and locked up the top spot in the group ahead of schedule.

The Queens Park Rangers continued to march in high spirits.

And the headline in the Daily Mail on Friday was:
