The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 599 Three Points Are Three Points
"Oh, Ricardo went down on the ground without physical contact with the opponent. It seems that he is injured. QPR fans are very worried. If Ricardo is injured at this time, the next game will be against PQR is going to be very tough."

"QPR's team doctors came in, they checked Ricardo and carried him to the sidelines for treatment."

Taking advantage of Ricardo's injury and leaving QPR with one less man on the field, Manchester United launched consecutive attacks and created a threat in the 63rd minute.Rooney sent a direct pass, Welbeck fired a shot from close in front of the goal, and Handanovic went down to earth at this moment and saved the ball.Welbeck continued to hastily make up shots, and Handanovic hugged the ball again.

"How is his condition?" Simeone watched the situation on the field anxiously, while paying attention to the situation on Riccardo's side.

"It's not optimistic. He should not be able to continue this game." Team doctor Kenny said.

"I can continue," Licado gritted his teeth and stood up, "It's okay, I know my situation myself, but it's just a little muscle strain, it's nothing."

Kenny said seriously: "Treat right now, you only need about two weeks to recover, you will miss the next game against Swansea and West Bromwich Albion, but you can catch up with the game against Tottenham. If you insist on it now If you want to play, cause aggravated injury, it is very likely that you will not be able to catch up with Tottenham and Chelsea."

"The game against Chelsea can be discussed later. If this game cannot be won, it will be more difficult later on." What the team doctor said made Ricardo a little shaken, but he still wanted to play.

In the end, it was Simeone who made up his mind: "I would rather see a healthy you in the game against Tottenham and Chelsea. Our goal is the championship, but what we want to ensure is the top 4. Ricardo, I am the coach , I hope you respect my decision."

Licado lowered his head.

In the 65th minute, QPR made the first substitution decision: Callejon came on and replaced Ricardo.

"It seems that Ricardo can't hold on. It's a pity. Can Manchester United seize the opportunity to take the lead?" said the commentator, "Riccardo is undoubtedly the most threatening player in QPR. His departure can liberate Rafael. With Hall and Carrick, Manchester United can focus more on attacking."

Mourinho quickly made adjustments and Giggs replaced Ashley Young.The meaning of this move is clear, that is, to use the veteran's experience advantage to strengthen the offense.

In the 69th minute, Manchester United launched an attack from the right. Valencia passed the ball to Rooney. Rooney passed the ball to the bottom line without stopping. , and then a kick cross.

The QPR player immediately raised his hand to signal Rafael to foul, but the referee did not say so.The football came to the penalty area, Van Dijk was delayed for a while, and Welbeck took the advantage. Welbeck jumped up and prepared to head the goal.In desperation, Van Dijk hit Welbeck on the back of the neck with an elbow. Welbeck lost his balance and the football bounced off the back of his head.

"Drip!" The referee ran towards the QPR penalty area, pointing to the penalty spot.

"Penalty! The referee gave it a penalty!" shouted the commentator. "QPR is in danger! They gave the opponent a penalty with little time left!"

The QPR players were naturally dissatisfied. They surrounded the referee and explained that Rafael had handballed first, and this penalty did not exist.

But the referee was unmoved, and only hooked his fingers to call Van Dijk and gave him a red card.

Van Dijk couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't know where his actions deserved a red card.

The QPR players were even angrier. Thiago Motta, who wore the captain's armband after Ricardo left, almost poked his finger on the tip of the referee's nose. The referee immediately gave him a yellow card.

Both Riccardo and Simeone watched this scene with a silent sigh.

After a lot of difficulty, the QPR players restrained their anger and walked away silently.

Manchester United did not miss this god-given opportunity. Rooney personally took the knife and made a penalty kick. Handanovic, a little pouncer, made a pounce in the wrong direction.

Mourinho immediately made two substitution adjustments, Phil. Jones replaced Raphael, Cleverley also replaced Scholes.He is determined to keep the one-goal advantage.

On QPR's side, the players have no intention of fighting. After encountering such unfair treatment, the players are often not playing football, but venting.

The commentator also lamented: "QPR is gone. If Ricardo is still on the field, maybe he can lead them to equalize the score. But Ricardo has been injured, and Thiago Motta did not perform well as the captain. , he is constantly angry with Carrick and Cleverley, he has to be careful, he already has a yellow card on him. Now QPR is 10 against 11, if he also goes off, it becomes 9 against 11, QPR is even more There's no hope."

In the last 20 minutes, QPR rushed to attack, but they did not once threaten United's goal. Instead, United got a few chances to expand the score, but Welbeck and Cleverley didn't take advantage of it.

When the referee whistled 3 times, the score was fixed at 2:1.Manchester United got a crucial victory to extend their winning streak to 8 games.

They are now 4 points ahead of QPR and top the standings.In the just-concluded game, Manchester City lost 0:1 away to Arsenal, so that Manchester United led Manchester City by 8 points.

The situation of the top three has basically been settled.

In the locker room, Ricardo comforted his teammates and said: "Never give up hope. We just need to be ourselves and work hard. Whether we can win the championship is caused by many factors. We can't force it. As long as we recognize it in our hearts , we can have a champion. I think we already have the quality of a champion, and I hope you realize that too."

"It's not the end of the world now, there are six league games left, anything is possible. Of course, a true champion never expects others to make mistakes, but a true champion will seize the opportunity when others make mistakes. Manchester United still have to fight Manchester City. Head to head, I don't think they can win the rest of the game. Are you guys ready when they fall?"

His words lifted the morale of QPR again.

At the press conference after the game, Simeone expressed strong dissatisfaction, but he also paid more attention to his words, so as not to be punished and unable to command on the spot.

"I watched the slow-motion replay. Rafael's ball was undoubtedly handball first, and Van Dijk's foul did not seem to have reached the point of a red card. I don't understand why the referee made such a penalty. I will collect evidence. Sue the FA and I hope Van Dijk's suspension will be lifted."

"Congratulations to Jose Mourinho, the less good team won the game, frankly I don't appreciate his football and it's hard for me to be friends with him."

Mourinho said triumphantly: "Three points are three points. No matter what others say, there is no way to reduce the value of three points. I have won many championships, and I am happy to add another Premier League to my collection." The league championship trophy."
