The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 615
At the end of 2012, the most exciting event in football was the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Although 2012 is the year of the European Cup, it stands to reason that the Golden Globe winner will be produced from the European Cup champion and runner-up teams, but neither the champion Spain nor the runner-up Italy this year have too convincing stars to shine.

The final 3-man list for the Golden Globes is still Ricardo, Messi and Ronaldo.

The media joked that the Golden Globe Awards have been monopolized by these three.And the duration of this monopoly is likely to be more than 10 years.

The end result was no big surprise.

Although Messi scored 50 league goals in the past season, Barcelona has scored nothing, which has lowered his evaluation.

Although Real Madrid won the league with 100 points, Ronaldo's performance is not as outstanding as Messi's, and Real Madrid has nothing to do in the Champions League.

On the other hand, Ricardo once again broke the Premier League single-season scoring record with 44 goals, and also led the newly promoted team to win the double crown. Such a result has amazed the whole of Europe.

So the 2012 Golden Globe winner became Riccardo logically.

Entering 2013, QPR's first game is the Derby.

They challenge Chelsea away.

The game at Stamford Bridge on the evening of January 1 was a hot one. The two sides received 2 yellow cards and 12 red cards. Terry, Fernandinho and Maicon were sent off one after another. 3 beats 9.

But in the 79th minute, QPR took the lead.

At that time, Neymar changed position to the left, played tricks on Ivanovic and then broke into the penalty area. Facing the tall central defender, he chose to go to the bottom, and passed the ball to the goal after waving the gap.

Riccardo faced the goal sideways, tapped the ball with his left foot and swept the ball into the net.

This late goal crushed the Chelsea people. In the last 10 minutes of the game, QPR completely controlled the rhythm with skilled possession and gave the Blues no chance.

The teenager Hazard's performance was very outstanding. He made Maicon's red card, but then Walker, who came off the bench, froze him.

The "battle between the two top young wingers in the Premier League" that was hyped by the media before the game ended with Neymar's victory.

The victory in this derby has filled QPR with confidence up and down.

In the first round of the Carabao Cup semi-finals that followed, Simeone used a mix of main players and substitutes. QRP defeated Aston Villa 4:1 at home and entered the final with one foot.

Back in the league, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, QPR beat Tottenham 2-0 at home.

In the 23rd round of the Premier League match, QPR challenged West Ham United away. In the first half, Neymar scored first, and West Ham United tenaciously equalized the score in the 80th minute.

But at this time Ricardo stepped forward. In the 89th minute, he used a direct free kick to seal the victory for QPR and also allowed QPR to win the league three consecutive victories.

Then there was the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, QPR's youth team beat Aston Villa 1-0 away.

Next up is QPR's appearance in the FA Cup, which is the fifth round of the FA Cup, with QPR hosting Milton Keynes.

QPR, which played with all young players, caught up with 2 goals behind, and finally reversed the opponent 4:2, and won 6 consecutive victories in all competitions.

With so many victories amassed, QPR's morale is at an all-time high. On the last day of January, they welcomed Manchester City, currently ranked third in the league, at home.

Simeone did not seek stability in this game. The main players who had rested for more than ten days launched a fierce frontcourt fight, which made Manchester City exhausted.

In the 17th minute, Ricardo sent a through pass for Ronaldo, who broke the deadlock.

Two minutes later, Modric's pass was sent into the bottom of Manchester City's net by Ricardo, and QPR led by two goals.

After entering the second half, Kompany used a corner kick to get back a point for Manchester City, but QPR then entered the possession mode, firmly grasped the rhythm of the game, and played a fatal counterattack in the 77th minute. Neymar assisted Ricardo to score and put the The score was rewritten to 3:1.

In the end, QPR won the victory as they wished, and continued to bite Manchester United in the standings with 4 consecutive victories in the league.

Since Manchester United drew with Tottenham in the 23rd round of the league, the two teams now have the same points, and QPR only ranks second with a goal difference of 2.

Starting from late February, QPR's schedule will become very intensive, and for a period of time, they will fight on four fronts.

Of course, the FA Cup can be given up.

However, the English League Cup has entered the final, and there is no reason to give up.

As for the league and the Champions League, there is no giving up.

So Ricardo once again called a meeting with the players and reiterated the team's goals.

And require the team to grab enough points in the middle and early February, so that they cannot be separated by Manchester United.

In the 25th round at home against Norwich and the 26th round against Swansea, there is no room for loss.

Because then, on February 2, it will be the FA Cup match; on February 16, it will be the first round of the Champions League knockout round; on February 2, they will play against Manchester United at home; Europa League final.These few games are hard battles, and they cannot be ignored.

QPR's signing luck is not bad. Their opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is not strong. It is Galatasaray from Turkey.Among the eight No.8 teams, their strength is only moderate.

Manchester United is more sad, their opponent is Real Madrid... In other words, Manchester United will have a tough game against Real Madrid in the away game, and then challenge QPR in the away game.

For Manchester United, the schedule is even more unfavorable.

Ricardo very much 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 performance of the players.

On February 2, QPR played against Norwich at home.

Norwich put on a defensive posture. Except for a striker wandering in the midfield, the other 10 players were all huddled in their penalty area.

Although QPR has maintained possession of the ball, it is difficult to penetrate such a bus.After all, they are not Barcelona. They are still not as good as Barcelona in terms of using possession to create holes in the opponent's defense and then suddenly speeding up.

However, after a stalemate for 81 minutes, QPR finally took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to score. This was a free kick made by Ricardo breaking through the wing. Modric took the penalty and accurately found the top of Van Dijk's head. Van Dijk headed the ball Attack the goal and get a rare victory for QPR.

On February 2, QPR challenged Swansea away.

I thought it was a handy game, but only in the 6th minute of the game, Michu hit Miranda's leg with a non-threatening shot and bounced into the goal. Courtois could only look at the ball and sigh.

QPR stepped up the attack, but in the 32nd minute, Swansea took advantage of a corner kick to score another goal.

QPR were cornered.

At times like this, there are always heroes to come forward.

It was Ricardo who set an example.During stoppage time in the first half, he received a through ball from Pogba, suddenly started to throw off the player marking him, made a Cruyff turn near the baseline, and then pushed from a small angle, the football rubbed against the far end The post rolled into the net and QPR pulled a point back.

In the second half, QPR did not make any adjustments, but the players gradually recovered.In the 55th minute, Neymar changed position to the left, stepped on the bicycle continuously and forced a breakthrough, then made an emergency stop and pushed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Pogba adjusted after receiving the ball, volleyed the far corner vigorously, and hit a Wonderful world wave, equalizing the score for QPR.

Swansea's morale fell, and QPR bombarded the opponent's goal indiscriminately.

In the 79th minute, Vardy came on as a substitute. Just 1 minute after his first touch with the ball, he received Modric's through pass and succeeded in countering offside. He shot a low shot from the opposite corner and led the score for QPR.

In the 88th minute, Modric's corner kick was headed into Swansea's goal by Gary Cahill, and QPR led 4:2.

Although the process was thrilling, the final solution was good.

However, Manchester United also won these two games, and they also got 3 goal differences. Currently, Manchester United and QPR have 66 points. .
