The Day I Played with Ronaldo - Chapter 621
After the start of the second half, the wonderful shots in the game decreased significantly. The two teams wrestled in the midfield and fouled frequently. And most of these fouls are far from the penalty area, they do not want to give the opponent a good free kick.
In the 47th minute, Ashley Young made a cross and Nani’s header was confiscated by Kurtova.
After 5 minutes, QPR had the first goal in the second half. This was a long shot that Ricardo tried at about 28 meters from the goal and deviated slightly.
In the 56th minute, Nani passed the ball, Hernandez took an arc from the left side of the penalty area, but Kurtowa moved quickly to hold the ball firmly.
In the 62nd minute, Mourinho finally took action, he replaced Hernandez with Rooney.
In the 64th minute, QPR almost rewritten the score. Neymar sent a diagonal pass after cutting in the right lane. The football passed the defender and came to the left of the penalty area. Ricardo lifted his leg beautifully and unloaded the ball. Without any adjustments, he directly lifted his left foot and shot coldly, but this shot was saved by De Gea.
Corner taken by Alex Sandro, Miranda overpowered Vidic’s header from the edge of the penalty area and missed slightly.
From the point of view, QPR still has the upper hand. Their passing is more skilful, and they can often reach Manchester United’s restricted area through smooth coordination. Although Modric is a master who passed the deadly ball, Ricardo, Neymar, Naingeran, Pogba, Debrune and others also have good passing skills.
After all, Ferdinand and Vidic are older. Although their experience is richer and their front defensive capabilities have been improved, their turn speed is much slower. QPR two speed-wing wingers Ricardo and Neymar are frequently inserted Hitting them behind made them very embarrassed.
Mourinho again made substitution adjustments, replacing Ashley Young with Valencia with better defensive ability, in order to strengthen the protection of the defense.
In the 69th minute, Pogba once again sent a top long pass, Ferdinand turned a little slower, Ricardo inserted from the sideline to the middle, and rushed to the landing point before Ferdinand and Raphael.
He shook his ankle, stopped the football steadily like magic, and then took advantage of a Marseille maneuver, passing Vidic, who flew up to make up for a short gap in front of Manchester United.
Ricardo did not waste this opportunity and immediately passed the ball to the middle. However, Waldy seemed too excited. After stopping the ball, he volleyed and hit the ball.
Ricardo shook his head. Valdy’s mental quality still needs to be improved. Does it really take 15 years for him to know?
In the 76th minute, Evra broke into the left side of the penalty area and sent a pass back. Rooney’s shot close by was blocked by the defender.
After 2 minutes, Wayne Rooney passed and Welbeck’s shot on the left side of the penalty area hit the defender again.
QPR was still in color quickly. In the 80th minute, De Blaunet sent a direct pass, and the successful offside Ricardo pushed the left corner from the left side of the penalty area. De Gea failed to hit the ball, but the football popped on the post, and the frightened Evra returned to the big foot to end the ball.
Simone sighed heavily.
In the 82nd minute, Ricardo received a direct pass from Alex Sandro, tricked Rafael and Ferdinand in a row, broke into the penalty area and made a shot.
De Gea immediately moved to save, but Ricardo shook his ankle and passed the ball to the right of the penalty area.
De Blaunet received a pass from Ricardo and kicked it. De Gea did not touch the ball. The football hit the crossbar and the ball was shot from outside the penalty area. , Flying out of the bottom line.
Simone shook his head. Maybe this game really didn’t win. Two goalposts in two minutes. Valdy wasted two golden opportunities. What else can I say? Focus on keeping the tie for now. He began to make substitutions, Fernandinho replaced De Braune, and Coutinho replaced Ricardo.
Ricardo has a minor injury. In order to ensure that Ricardo can still play in the next game, Simone is afraid to over-press Ricardo’s physical fitness.
After these two substitutions, QPR became more focused on the ball and failed to play a threatening attack.
Mourinho’s team also seems content to get 1 point away, and the two sides have tacitly maintained the 1: 1 score to the end.
After the end of the round, Manchester United and QPR accumulated 67 points and ranked first and second in the standings. QPR is worse than Manchester United by just 2 goal difference.
As far as QPR is concerned, not only will we have to win in the future, we also need to win more and win more goals.
With only three days of rest, QPR ushered in the final of the British Cup.
The opponent in the final was not strong, it was Swansea. Swansea has a mediocre record this season, and there are no strong stars. They can reach the finals of the English Cup only because most teams have no interest in this award.
After winning the FA Cup, you can at least enter the UEFA Cup; the Champions League Cup is useless except for the poor hundreds of thousands of pounds.
This money may be a little tempting for a semi-professional team, the Premier League team really didn’t take this into account.
Simone consulted with Ricardo to discuss whether to strategically abandon the game.
Ricardo thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s try it. Other main players can rest, I will take the young players to kick.”
Simone was a little worried: “Your body is also very tired. If you are injured at this time, it will lose more than you pay for the next league and Champions League games.”
Ricardo laughed: “I’m going to use half the time to establish the victory ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ It’s not for the fight, it’s for sure,” Simone said, “I will replace you after the first half.
“OK.” Ricardo agreed.
So in this game, Simone sent a mix of substitute players + youth players + Ricardo.
Goalkeeper Kurtowa, defenders Luke Shaw, Gary Cahill, Stones and Carvajal, the midfielders are 16-year-old Dele Ali, 18-year-old Eric Dale, and front-end German Braune, left forward Coutinho, right forward Sterling, 18, and single forward Ricardo.
Today he served as a single arrow, which is to give full play to his attacking power.
With the average age of less than 20 years old playing in the finals of the British Cup, the media are not optimistic about the prospects of QPR.
However, at the 7th minute …
“Stirling Goallllll! The goal was attributed to Ricardo, who drew 4 Swansea defenders all by himself, and then delivered the ball exactly to the unmarked Stirling. All Sterling has to do is push the ball into the empty goal. Ricardo continues his terror! “
In the 38th minute, the commentator’s shout resounded again: “Ricardo Goalllll! This is a beautiful elevator ball, he extended the lead for QPR! In this final, QPR has a 2-0 lead!”
Simone also applauded Ricardo gently.
During the intermission, he literally replaced Ricardo and replaced Icardi with just 20 years old. The youngsters remained firmly in control of the situation on the field. In the 72nd minute, Icardi was finally kicked off. He succeeded in the offside against Debrone’s direct stop and locked the score to 3: 0 for QPR.
QPR wins second League Cup title in team history!
