I am the king of football

Chapter 254 Confession
It was a leisurely date as the two strolled along the streets of London. After Qin Hu and Lin Lan walked to the foot of Big Ben, he took out a gift that he had prepared long ago.

"Lanlan, here's the necklace I picked for you. Do you like it?"

Looking at the graceful girl in front of him who was gradually growing into a beautiful lady, Qin Hu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Pfft, just say it if you have something to say. You always have this expression when you can't say it."

The boy and girl have long been in love with each other, but they have not yet truly confirmed their relationship.

It has been quite a while since Lin Lan came to the UK. Except for the days when Lin Lan is busy in school, the two of them live in the small villa rented by Qin Hu in their spare time.

The hidden feelings that once existed in China quickly heated up in such an environment, and Qin Hu thought it was time to confirm their relationship.

"Ahem, okay."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Hu showed a determined expression under the bright lights of the British streets.

"Lin Lan, be my girlfriend. I want to take care of you and be with you forever."

"..."

Although she was mentally prepared, Lin Lan was still extremely surprised and touched when the moment really came. Ever since Qin Hu gradually became a famous star in Hull City, she always felt that he was getting further and further away from her.

Now he has become a hot star throughout the UK. Lin Lan, who has heard a lot of gossip about Premier League stars from her classmates, has been worried.

She was worried that Qin Hu would no longer be the naive Hu he used to be after he became rich and famous. She was worried that she would be abandoned by Qin Hu because she was becoming less and less compatible with him. This worry had never left her heart for a moment.

But at this moment, these worries were no longer valid. He was still the boy he used to be, the boy who grew up with her supporting each other. Lin Lan finally waited for the moment when the other party made a promise.

"By the way, shouldn't there be a bouquet of flowers at a time like this~"

"what?"

"Hehe, just kidding. I agree."

"Really?"

"real!"

He stood up and hugged Lin Lan. Although Lin Lan was nearly 1.7 meters tall, she still looked quite small in Qin Hu's arms.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy, Lanlan~"

Qin Hu turned around in place holding the blushing girl in his arms. He was as excited as a child. He looked down at Lin Lan in his arms. The girl was in love and his expression made Qin Hu intoxicated.

This night, the moon is leisurely and the wind is gentle.

The next day, Qin Hu and Lin Lan, wearing big sunglasses, strolled around London. Lin Lan, who had been here for nearly half a year, had obviously visited many attractions in London. On the contrary, Qin Hu had almost no time to travel to various cities because he had been busy with team training and competitions.

The two drove the car and used their money to clear the way, and visited several famous attractions without encountering any trouble.

When Qin Hu sent Lin Lan to the dormitory building in the evening, both of them were reluctant to leave. This was the first day they had officially confirmed their relationship, so there were always some special emotions.

"Come here~"

When Qin Hu saw that it was getting late and he had to embark on the journey back to Manchester, Lin Lan bit her lip and called him over.

When Qin Hu moved closer, he instantly felt a cool touch on his lips, like a dragonfly touching the water.

"Play well, I will go to the stadium to cheer you on next time I have a day off!!!"

She disappeared in a flash. Lin Lan ran faster than a rabbit, but when she turned her back and walked quickly towards the dormitory building, her red ears still exposed her shyness. As for Qin Hu, he was covering his mouth and laughing foolishly. This was his and Lin Lan's first kiss. After confirming their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, he never thought it would come to this so quickly.

All I can say is that Lin Lan is indeed a bold girl. She has been the big sister in the welfare home since she was a child, and she has never been shy in expressing her emotions.

When Qin Hu kept saying to her, Lanlan, "Lanlan, you are really my good sister," she, who was more mature than boys, never tired of correcting Qin Hu that they were not siblings.

Perhaps, the two of them looked like Qin Hu was confessing his love, but high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey, don't they?

In short, when Qin Hu rushed back to Manchester from London, his excitement did not dissipate until he returned to the training ground the next day.

Having just experienced a big battle with Arsenal and as the number one contributor to the team's victory, Qin Hu's excitement was naturally regarded by the players as being due to his excellent performance.

But after the excitement lasted for a few days, everyone was a little confused.

"What's wrong with Qin? He's so excited these days. My goodness, he really is a tireless tiger~"

"Of course I am. My hands are numb. His shot was so hard."

"The training match was also very fierce. I was almost driven into autism by his sudden attack..."

The Manchester United players got together but couldn't figure out the reason. They could only attribute it to Qin Hu or because his MVP performance against the Gunners made the young man in high spirits.

As the core striker of the team, no one dislikes Qin Hu's current state, because it means they will have a greater chance of defeating their opponent in the next game.

Time flies. After a few weeks of daily single-match matches, the second half of the Champions League group stage officially began. Manchester United's first game of the new week is an away game against Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Having won all three group matches, Manchester United has now established a very prominent advantage in the group. In the next three games, they will strive to maintain their top position in the group.

Among them, Galatasaray is the team's biggest opponent in this group. As long as they can kill the opponent twice, the Red Devils will almost certainly advance to the knockout stage as the first in Group H.

Therefore, Ferguson still carefully examined the condition of each player during the training in the past few days. After several consecutive weekly single-match schedules, the team's overall condition was still good, which allowed him to compile the team's starting lineup for away games without much effort.

"We will leave for Istanbul early tonight, so everyone on the roster must pack up and gather at the base before eight o'clock."

On the afternoon before the match, Ferguson called everyone into the meeting room as usual. He clapped his hands and clicked on the whiteboard. As he kept clicking with the electronic pen in his hand, names appeared in front of everyone one by one.

"Qin and Rooney are the two forwards."

Van Persie did not appear in the starting lineup. He has been in poor form since the match against the Gunners and could only sit on the bench this time.

"Three in the frontcourt, Nani, Shinji Kagawa and Ashley Young."

In this game, Ferguson deployed a 4132 formation, which included three midfielders and a defensive midfielder.

"Defensive midfielder, Scholes."

Neither Cleverley nor Carrick started in the midfield, but veteran Scholes was used by Sir Alex Ferguson as he was still in good shape.

"Four defenders, Buttner, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, and goalkeeper Lindegaard."

In addition, another surprising point is that the team's second goalkeeper Lindegaard is finally going to make his first appearance in the Champions League this season, and De Gea will temporarily sit on the bench to rest.

"Others on the long list..."

As all the people on the long list were announced, everyone whose names were called quickly dispersed and packed up their things.
