The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 613 2012-2013 Season
In fact, Nainggolan, Modric, Fernandinho, Alderweireld, Walker and other players have been coveted by Real Madrid and other giants, but Ricardo's will is very firm: Nainggolan And Modric is not for sale.

Both players are irreplaceable in the next few years.

As for the rest of the players, as long as the price is right, it doesn't matter if they are sold, because young players can be promoted from the reserve team to replace them at any time.

Nainggolan and Modric themselves were not so keen on leaving.

They were all willing to join the team when they could not play in the Champions League last season.And this season can play in the Champions League, of course they don't want to leave.

Of course, Ricardo can't just use honor to whet their appetites, after all, for professional players, making money comes first.

Therefore, large-scale contract renewals began one after another from mid-July.

Players generally got a raise.

Of course, veterans over the age of 32 have no salary increase, which is also in line with market laws.

With the deepening of the European Cup, the value of QPR players has increased to a certain extent.

In the few warm-up matches at the beginning of the season, QPR performed well, and De Bruyne and Pogba, who returned on loan, both showed excellent competitive conditions and were quickly recognized by the fans.

And Neymar quickly became the new darling of fans with his crazy performance of 4 goals in 7 games.

The first test of the new season is the Community Shield on August 8. The Community Shield is a game between the league champions and the FA Cup champions last season, but both the league champions and the FA Cup champions last season were QPR.

So their opponent is the Premier League runner-up Manchester City.

Manchester City did not move much in this window. They only bought Rodwell, Sinclair, Nastasic, and Harvey Garcia. The total investment was only 4800 million pounds, which is really drizzle compared to the investment in previous seasons. La.

On the contrary, they sold a lot of redundant players, such as Adam Johnson, Adebayor, Savage, Santa Cruz, etc. In addition, De Jong, Pizarro, etc. returned to the original team after the loan expired, so their lineup got streamlined.

In the eyes of the media, Manchester City's transfer operations this season have finally returned to rationality.

However, QPR's transfer was also recognized by the media. Only Neymar and Miranda were bought, and the few sold did not hurt QPR's vitality.In particular, the core midfielders Modric and Nainggolan, as well as the defensive core Alderweireld, have been retained, so this season's QPR is still widely favored by the media.

In this Community Shield game, Simeone let Neymar start the game, and the team continued to use the 4123 formation. The goalkeeper Courtois, the defenders are Sandro, Van Dijk, Miranda and Maicon, the midfielder Phil Nandinho, midfielders Pogba and Modric, Coutinho left winger, Neymar right winger, lone striker Klose, Ricardo sat on the bench because of a small injury in the warm-up match at the table.

When Neymar played in Botafogo before, he often tried the right winger position at the request of Ricardo, so he is no stranger to this position.

After the opening, Neymar appeared to be quite active, using his skills to tease Manchester City's defense many times.

Although his physical confrontation ability needs to be strengthened, it is enough to pose a sufficient threat to Manchester City.

In the 19th minute of the game, Modric opened the scoring for QPR with a long shot.After entering the second half, Aguero took the ball in the penalty area and even passed two people to equalize the score for Manchester City.

But in the 65th minute, Ricardo went into battle.

Just 3 minutes after his debut, Riccardo dribbled the ball in from the left and suddenly pushed the ball to Pogba. Pogba shot a cold arrow 30 meters away, piercing the gate guarded by Hart again.

Manchester City is unwilling to fail, but they are also unwilling to do their best for such an insignificant game.

Although there were counterattacks, there was loud thunder and little rain.

In the end, QPR defeated Manchester City 2:1 and won the first official game of the new season.

A week later, the 2012-2013 Premier League season kicked off.

Before the official start of the game, Ricardo convened a meeting with all the players, at which the goals for this season were clarified.

In the league, the team must defend the title, and at worst must secure a place in the Champions League.

In the UEFA Champions League, strive to enter the top four, or even reach the final, and at the last time must ensure the top 8.

The FA Cup, mainly played by young players, can be given up depending on the schedule.

The League Cup is mainly played by young players, but if they reach the top 4, they can compete for the championship. After all, the League Cup ends earlier and will not affect the Champions League knockout round.

After clarifying the goal and the amount of the bonus, the morale of the team is even higher.

In the first Premier League game, QPR poured 4 goals into Swansea and won a good start with a big score of 4:0.

8月25日，客场作战的QPR上半场和诺维奇战成1：1，下半场李卡多上演帽子戏法，最终4：2战胜对手。

8月28日，是英联杯第4圈的比赛，QPR由替补球员和年轻球员组成的混合球队7：0轻取低级别的沃尔索尔。

The situation is very good with 3 consecutive victories at the beginning, but in the third round of the Premier League, QPR challenged Manchester City away and conceded the goal in just 3 minutes of the opening.

Shortly into the second half, Neymar equalized for QPR on a pass from Ricardo, but Dzeko and Silva scored twice for City.

Although Ricardo scored a goal for QPR before the end, it was too late, and QPR tasted their first defeat of the new season.

On September 9th, the fourth round of the Premier League ignited the flames of war. QPR sat at home to welcome Derby opponent Chelsea.

Chelsea has learned a lesson this time and set up a bus in front of QPR, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

And Cech also played well, repeatedly saving the must-goals of Ricardo, Neymar and Ronaldo.

In the end, the two sides shook hands 0:0 to make a peace.

For QPR, this is an acceptable result.

在这场比赛之后，QPR再次打出一波连胜，3：0客场击溃热刺，4：1主场战胜西汉姆联，英联杯第5圈2：0击败雷丁，第7轮英超客场3：1战胜西布罗姆维奇，紧接着主场1：0小胜埃弗顿。

In the 9th round, they encountered a strong resistance from Arsenal, and finally shook hands with their opponents 0:0 in the away game.

In the 10th round, Reading was slaughtered 6:0.

10轮战罢，QPR的战绩是7胜2平1负，拿到了23个积分名列联赛第二。

Among the main competitors, Manchester United lost in the first round, but after that, they defeated their opponents, including Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. They ranked first with 10 wins, 8 losses and 2 points in 24 rounds.

Manchester City's record is unstable. Although they have not lost, their record of 6 wins and 4 draws allowed them to rank fourth with 22 points.

Chelsea has 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and has 23 points with QPR, ranking third due to the disadvantage of goal difference.

As for Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham, they are all a bit far away.

The situation of the new season is already very clear, QPR, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea will be the most powerful contenders for the championship this season.
