The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 600 Triwizard Contest
On the evening of April 4, QPR, which lacked Ricardo, defeated Swansea 11-4 at home and scored a valuable three points.

This is not what pleases them the most.

What excited them most was that Manchester United lost to Wigan Athletic in an upset away game!

Manchester United is off the chain!

The points gap between QPR and Manchester United has narrowed to 1 point again. Currently, Manchester United has 76 points and QPR has 75 points, ranking first and second respectively.

Manchester City also won smoothly, scoring 71 points and narrowing the gap with Manchester United to 5 points.

At this time, it is not necessary for Mourinho to panic, but the odds of winning the championship have obviously changed again, and the media has also begun to badmouth Manchester United.

On the evening of April 4th, QPR played away against West Bromwich Albion, and Ricardo continued to miss due to injury.West Bromwich Albion is now ranked 14th, there is no hope of the European war, no worries about relegation, everyone thinks that they will only symbolically resist for a while and then surrender.

But the truth is unexpected.

With Miroslav Klose opening the scoring for QPR, West Brom stubbornly leveled the score in the second half.

Although the QPR players were fully committed and bombarded indiscriminately at the last moment of the game, West Bromwich Albion even set up a bus at home to block QPR's offensive.

In the end, QPR only took one point away.

The next day, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-0 and Manchester City swept Norwich 6-1.

So the standings changed again: Manchester United ranked first with 79 points, QPR ranked second with 76 points, and Manchester City ranked third with 74 points.

If this continues, QPR will not even win the championship, and it will be difficult to hold on to the second seat.

The odds of winning the championship have changed again. Fans, football critics, and bookmakers are all very optimistic about the Red Devils Manchester United, which has a 3-point lead.

Some media said: In terms of winning the championship, Manchester United is professional.They know exactly how to play when they are ahead, and they know how to play when they are behind.They don't rush, and they always win the championship in the end.

However, QPR lacks precipitation, lack of experience, and lack of some accumulation, so it has repeatedly dropped the chain at the last minute.

Only the last four rounds of the league, QPR will face Tottenham, Chelsea, Stoke City and Manchester City.The enemy is like a cloud.

But QPR's morale is not low.

Because Ricardo is back.

"I don't know if we have any hope of winning the championship. Now I only have one request! Win the remaining 4 games! In the last 4 rounds, give me all 12 points! Whether we can win the championship depends on God's arrangement! After returning to the team, Ricardo said loudly in training.

"Victory! Victory!" The players blushed and shouted thickly.

On the evening of April 4, QPR ushered in Tottenham at home. The QPR players were confident and spirited as Manchester United were held to a 21-4 home draw by Everton in a game that ended two hours ago.

Manchester United, which was eliminated in the Champions League group stage, unexpectedly lost the chain at the last moment of the league. This is something no one could have imagined.They have also been out of the FA Cup and the League Cup this season, fighting on a single line, and it stands to reason that this will never be the case.I heard that there was a conflict in their locker room, and some players did not agree with Mourinho's management style.

Of course, the specific circumstances, only the parties know.

No matter how much QPR has, as long as they win this round, they can narrow the points gap to 1 point!
And with 3 rounds left, anything can happen!

Only 4 minutes after the start of the game, Ricardo, who had just come back, received a free kick from Modric and scored with a header!

Riccardo's song sounded at the Loftus Road Stadium.

Of course Tottenham are not reconciled to failure, they want to squeeze into the top 4, and they are only 1 point away from Arsenal, of course they are not willing to surrender at this time.

Tottenham launched a fierce attack, but Simeone did not let the team retreat. QPR launched a fierce high-position press, preventing Tottenham from easily organizing the offensive, and often resolving the crisis outside the penalty area.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0.

Entering the second half, QPR, who was weak in physical fitness, began to shrink the defense. Simeone replaced Rico and replaced Borja Valero to strengthen the possession of the midfield. The team played a 4411 formation.

In the 79th minute of the game, Ricardo started a long-distance attack from the midfield, dribbled the ball for 50 meters, and then sent the ball to the goal. Ronaldo jumped up and shot, securing the victory for QPR.

Simeone immediately replaced Ricardo, and there are still 3, no, 4 fierce battles waiting for Ricardo, including the FA Cup final.

The 2:0 score was maintained until the end. After this round, Manchester United's points reached 80 points, QPR ranked second with 79 points, Manchester City also won, and ranked third with 77 points.

In the last few rounds, the top three were still biting so tightly, which is very rare in the history of the Premier League in the past ten years.

Very likely, until the last round, the championship will not be determined!

After the Tottenham win, QPR did not celebrate.They will travel to Derby rivals Chelsea.

The team put into intense training.

The good news is that Chelsea will have a bloody battle with Barcelona three days before this game, so Chelsea's lineup for this game is likely to be incomplete and their physical fitness will also be affected.

Before the game, the war of words had already started.When Chelsea drew 2:2 with Barcelona to get the ticket to the final, Simeone said bluntly: "Chelsea is currently ranked sixth in the league. It is impossible for them to enter the Champions League. I think they want to participate in the Champions League next season." The best way is to try to win the final."

"(They) played really well against Barcelona. I didn't go to see the game, but I watched it live," Simeone said. "With one less player and two goals behind, they were able to equalize. Chelsea has undoubtedly gradually acquired the demeanor of a wealthy family. They have shown tenacious fighting spirit and unyielding spirit in the game. Although we are now ranked second in the league, there is no doubt that we are just a grassroots team. I like the grassroots counterattack the most. A rich story."

"This Chelsea team is very balanced, with good players in every position, but the game in the middle of the week consumed too much energy and passion, and Drogba was also injured, so in the game at the weekend, we will undoubtedly occupy a bigger role. The advantages."

At the press conference before the game, Simeone reiterated again: "We have only one belief: that is to win the game. And Chelsea have to be distracted by the Champions League, they have to recharge their batteries and wait for the Champions League final, so obviously, this game Victory will be ours."

Boas's response was weak. "With the Derby, of course we don't take it lightly. We want to defend our honour."

"The fiasco of the last round is still fresh in our memory, and I will not allow the team to accept another defeat."

Ricardo said in an interview: "As long as I am in QPR for one day, Chelsea will never want to take advantage of the derby."

On the afternoon of April 4, QPR visited Stamford Bridge as a guest.This game, which may be related to the championship, has attracted the attention of countless fans all over the world.
