The Day I Played with Ronaldo - Chapter 618
At the end of 2012, the most exciting event in football was the selection of the FIFA Golden Globe Awards.
Although 2012 is the year of the European Cup, it is reasonable to say that the Golden Globe winner will be generated from the European Cup champion and runner-up team, but this year’s champion Spain and runner-up Italy did not shine too convincingly.
The final three of the Golden Globes are still Ricardo, Messi, and Ronaldo.
The media joked that the Golden Globe Awards had been monopolized by the three. The duration of this monopoly is likely to be more than 10 years.
The end result was not much unexpected.
Although Messi scored 50 league goals in the past season, Barcelona failed to score, which lowered his evaluation.
Although Real Madrid won the championship with 100 points in the league, Ronaldo’s performance was not as outstanding as Messi, and Real Madrid did nothing in the Champions League.
And Ricardo renewed the Premier League single-season record with 44 goals and led the promoted horses to win the double championship. Such a performance, the whole of Europe is marveling.
So the 2012 Golden Globes winner became logically Ricardo.
Entering 2013, QPR’s first game was Derby.
They challenged Chelsea away.
The match played on Stamford Bridge on the evening of January 2nd was hot. Both sides had 12 yellow cards and 3 red cards. Terry, Fernandinho and Maicon were sent out one after another. QPR had to play away. 9 to 10.
But in the 79th minute, QPR took the lead.
At that time, Neymar shifted to the left and played Ivanovic with a skilful trick. He broke into the penalty area and faced the tall and central defender. He chose the bottom and passed the ball to the goal.
Ricardo faced the goal on his side, and his left foot swung the ball a little into the net.
This late goal destroyed the Chelsea. In the last ten minutes of the game, QPR completely mastered the rhythm with skilled ball control, giving the Blues no chance.
Junior Hazard’s performance was very outstanding. He created Maicon’s red card, but then Walker, who came off the bench, frozen him.
Neymar ’s victory came to an end after the “fight between two top young wingers in the Premier League”, which was enthusiastically speculated by the media before the game.
The victory of the Derby battle filled QPR with confidence.
In the first round of the semi-finals of the Commonwealth Cup, Simeone sent a mix of main force and substitutes. QRP defeated Aston Villa at home 4-1 and one foot has reached the final.
Back in the league, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, QPR home victory over Spurs 2: 0.
In the 23rd round of the Premier League, QPR challenged West Ham United in the first half. In the first half, Neymar went to the next city. In the 80th minute, West Ham United stubbornly equalized the score.
However, at this time, Ricardo stepped forward. In the 89th minute, he locked the victory for QPR with a direct free kick and also allowed QPR to win three consecutive games in the league.
Then came the second round of the semifinals of the League of Nations Cup. QPR’s youth army whispered Aston Villa at 1: 0.
Next is QPR’s appearance in the FA Cup. This is the fifth lap of the FA Cup, and QPR is home to Milton Keynes.
The QPRs of all young players went straight after two goals behind, and eventually reversed their opponents 4: 2 and won 6 consecutive victories in various competitions.
With so many victories, QPR’s morale is unprecedented. On the last day of January, they welcomed Manchester City, currently ranked third in the league at home.
Simone did not seek stability in this game. The main players who had rested for more than ten days launched a fierce front court fight, leaving Manchester City tired.
In the 17th minute, Ricardo sent a straight stop for Ronaldo, who broke the deadlock.
Two minutes later, Modric’s pass was sent by Ricardo to the bottom of Manchester City’s net, QPR led by two goals.
After entering the second half, Kompany used the corner kick to recover a point for Manchester City, but QPR entered the ball control mode, firmly grasped the rhythm of the game, and played a fatal counterattack in the 77th minute. Neymar assisted Ricardo to score and The score was rewritten as 3: 1.
In the end, QPR won this victory as expected, and continued to bite Manchester United in the standings with a four-game winning streak.
With Manchester United scoring Tottenham in the 23rd round of the league, the two teams now have the same points, and QPR ranks second with only 2 goal difference disadvantages.
From late February, the schedule of QPR will become very dense, and for a period of time, they will fight in four lines.
Of course, the FA Cup can be abandoned.
However, the League of Nations Cup has reached the final and there is no reason to give up.
As for the league and the Champions League, there is no abandonment.
So Ricardo called the players together again, reiterating the team’s goals.
And asked the team to grab enough points in the middle and early February to not be distanced by Manchester United.
In the 25th round against Norwich and in the 26th round against Swansea, there is no room for loss.
Because then, February 16 will be the FA Cup game; February 20, the first round of the Champions League knockout match; February 23, they will face Manchester United at home; February 26, will usher in UEFA Cup final. These games are hard battles and must not be neglected.
The signing of QPR is not bad. Their opponents in the quarter-finals of the Champions League are not strong. They are from Galatasaray from Turkey. Of the eight second-place teams, their strength is only moderate.
Manchester United are more sadly reminded that their opponent is Real Madrid … In other words, Manchester United must first play against Real Madrid and then challenge QPR away.
For Manchester United, the schedule is even more unfavourable.
Ricardo hopes that the team can take this opportunity to beat Manchester United and reach the top for the first time this season.
Of course, everything depends on the players.
On February 2, QPR faced Norwich at home.
Norwich put himself in a stance. In addition to one striker wandering in the midfield, the remaining 10 players were all confined in their own penalty area.
Although QPR has always held the ball, it is also difficult to penetrate such a bus. After all, they are not Barcelona, and they are not as good as Barcelona in using the ball to create an opponent’s defense flaws and then suddenly speed up.
However, after 81 minutes of stalemate, QPR finally used a set ball to score. This was a free kick made by Ricardo on the wing. Modric took the penalty and accurately found Van Dijk’s head and Van Dijk’s head. The goal was a rare victory for QPR.
On February 9, QPR challenged Swansea away at www.mtlnovel.com ~ I thought it was a hand-to-hand match, but only 6 minutes into the opening, Michu shot a threatening shot on Miranda’s leg Ejecting into the goal, Kurtova can only look at the ball and sigh.
QPR strengthened the offensive, but in the 32nd minute, Swansea took advantage of the corner kick to go to the next city.
QPR was forced into desperation.
At this time, there is always a hero to stand up.
It was Ricardo who set the pace. In the first half of the injury stoppage time, he received a straight stopper from Pogba, and suddenly kicked off the player who stared at him, turned around a Cruyff near the bottom line, and then shot from a small angle, the football rubbed the far end The post rolled into the net and QPR pulled back one point.
In the second half, QPR did not make any adjustments, but the players gradually recovered. In the 55th minute, Neymar shifted to the left, forced a breakthrough after cycling continuously, and then an emergency stop pushed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Pogba adjusted after receiving the ball, volleyed the far corner and hit a Wonderful world wave, equalize the score for QPR.
Swansea’s morale dropped, and after a while, QPR bombarded around the opponent’s goal.
In the 79th minute, Valdy came on the bench. Just 1 minute after playing, the first time he touched the ball, he received Modric’s direct offside and succeeded in the offside.
In the 88th minute, Modric’s corner kick was taken by Gary Cahill into Swansea’s door, QPR 4: 2 lead.
Although the process was thrilling, the final solution was good.
However, Manchester United also won in both games and also got 3 goal difference. At present, Manchester United and QPR have accumulated 66 points. Manchester United ranked first in the standings with a slight advantage of 2 goal difference, QPR ranked second. .
