The Day I Played with Ronaldo - Chapter 617
In the Champions League group stage, QPR also played very smoothly.
As it is the first time in history to participate in the Champions League, they are of course classified as a fourth-grade team, and they are in Group B with Schalke 04, Olympiacos and Benfica.
In general, if a strong team is classified as a fourth-grade team, it is easy to create a death group.
For example, Group D, where Dortmund, Real Madrid, Ajax and Manchester City are located this year, is a proper death group.
However, QPR’s luck is not bad. The three teams in the same group are all strong but not too strong.
Basically, the media are optimistic about QPR’s ability to qualify.
But whether or not to qualify for the first place in the group depends on the presence of QPR players. After all, they are playing the Champions League for the first time, and there may be inexperience.
However, in the first round of the group, QPR beat Benfica 2-1 away and got off to a great start.
Next, they defeated Olympiacos 4: 1.
After this time, the media basically have no doubts, and there will not be too many twists and turns in the QPR line-up.
In the third group match, they also had the strongest Schalke in the 2: 2 draw at home with 04, 2 wins, 1 tie and 7 points, temporarily ranking first in the group.
The second in the group was Schalke 04, who scored 5 points.
In addition, in the English League Cup eighth final, the youth team played QPR at home 2-1 victory over Arsenal and entered the top 8.
It can be said that in the first half of the season, QPR performed well on all fronts, making fans very satisfied.
In the 11th and 12th round of the league, QPR won two consecutive games, but in the 13th round of the league, their winning streak ended.
Because this round their opponent is Manchester United.
The two sides fought a fierce battle at Old Trafford, and Rooney and Ricardo scored one goal at the end, ending the fierce battle at the top with a draw.
In this round, Manchester United have 10 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, 31 points still retain the top position, QPR 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 30 points ranked second.
Manchester City ranks third with 29 points, Chelsea have a poor record in these three rounds, currently only 25 points, ranking fourth.
After this game, QPR won a 6-game winning streak in the league. Until the last game before the new year, they lost to the visiting Liverpool 0: 2 at home.
In the 20 league games, QPR 15 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, the points reached 48 points, still ranked second.
Because Manchester United’s record has changed more and more, in these seven games they have won 6 wins and 1 draw, currently a total of 16 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, 50 points, ranking first on the list.
QPR played badly. If it was in previous years, this time they are likely to win the half championship. The problem is that Manchester United has played really well this season.
Manchester United has introduced Van Persie, Batna, Kagawa and Powell. The investment is not large, but the effect is very good. Van Persie is almost seamlessly integrated into Manchester United’s play, and has an excellent chemical reaction with Rooney. He has scored 16 goals on the scorer’s list, ranking second.
The first, of course, was Ricardo, who scored 29 goals.
Last season, Van Persie was also the second highest scorer in Arsenal. This player is one of the best forwards in recent years. His addition has also eased the Red Devils fans’ miss of Ricardo.
Both Manchester City and Chelsea have fallen behind, one behind QPR by as much as 7 points and one behind QPR by 11 points, almost losing hope of competing for the championship.
British media believe that the championship this season will be decided between Manchester United and QPR.
The UEFA Champions League group stage is finally over. QPR draws Schalke 04 1: 1 away from home, defeats Benfica 2-0 at home, and draws Olympiacos 1: 1 away. The final record is 3 wins, 3 draws and 12 points. At the same time, the other team in the same group was Schalke 04. They scored 2 wins, 4 draws, and scored 10 points, ranking second in the group.
Of the four Premier League teams, only two made it to the top 16. Chelsea and Manchester City have been eliminated.
In this way, you can almost guess QPR’s next opponent in the Champions League. The remaining seven teams ranked second in the group are Porto, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Donetsk Miners, Valencia, Galatasaray and Celtics.
As long as they don’t reach Real Madrid, QPR’s chances of entering the quarterfinals will be very large.
In the Uefa Cup, QPR defeated Bradford 3-1 away and reached the top 4.
It can be said that the goals set before the season are steadily advancing.
After the winter transfer window opened, Modric, Naingeran, including the outstanding player Pogba, etc. received a large wave of quotations, but the military mind is still stable, the players have not strongly requested a transfer, Li Cardo naturally will not agree to other people’s acquisition, at this time QPR is most important to maintain stability.
Ricardo and Simone talked and asked if they needed tonic.
Simone believes that the team is now very mature and strong in all aspects, and does not need to be reinforced for the time being, so QPR announced early that there will be no action in this winter transfer window.
Based on the team’s performance in the first half of the season, it can be said that Ricardo is still the most stable scoring point of QPR, and half of the team’s goals are related to him.
Neymar’s performance is a bit ups and downs. It seems that he still does not adapt to the pace of confrontation in the Premier League, sometimes there is super performance, sometimes the whole team is inactive, unable to continue the highlight performance steadily.
However, this is based on Ricardo’s standards ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ In fact, the media has almost won Neymar on the altar, thinking that Neymar has injected a clear stream of technology for the Premier League, and QPR made a Good deal.
Modric and Naingerland’s two midfielders have become more prominent. It can be said that they are the top 5 organized midfielders and the top 5 B2B midfielders, both worth more than 40 million pounds.
The most exciting is Pogba. His performance on loan to Crystal Palace last season was very good. This season has even broke out. He is tall and strong, his feet are very delicate, his overall situation is very good, and he has a good outlook. His organizational ability and frontal defensive ability are not bad. In the all-around midfielder of the same age, he can definitely rank first. His value has skyrocketed because of this. At the time he joined for free, the turnover of Germany has reached 20 million pounds.
Fernandinho, Alex Sandro are also continuing to improve, and Miranda joined this season. Although there are not many opportunities to play, each performance is very stable. His flexibility is currently QPR4 The highest of the centre-backs, in some tactical occasions, Simone values his role very much.
As for the forward, Ronaldo’s physical fitness is further decreasing, but the goal efficiency is still very high. He has scored 11 times, scored 6 goals and assisted 3 goals. It is hard to believe that he is over 36 years old.
Klose also has a very stable play, his fulcrum effect is very obvious.
However, Ricardo attaches great importance to Valdy, but he has not gotten a chance to play, and can only use the opportunity of bench appearance to brush up the experience value.
In general, this team is in excellent condition and the atmosphere of the locker room is also good. Ricardo is very confident to attack the championship on all three fronts in the second half of the season.
