The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 636 Passive Real Madrid
On the evening of May 5th, Wembley Stadium.

In the locker room of QPR, Ricardo looked at his nervous companions with a calm demeanor.

Not only the players, but even Simeone's tense face was full of tension.

Just be nervous.As a new team in the Champions League, although they played all the way to the final and accumulated a lot of confidence, how could it be possible to completely overcome the tension.

After Simeone finished the final arrangement, Ricardo looked at the time, got up and said a few words.

"I know you are nervous, but I want to say that it is not necessary," Ricardo said with a smile, "Although I am not yet 27 years old, I have already led three different teams to the Champions League. ...and Ronnie too. We would love to win the Champions League with a 3th different team, would you like to join us in this great job?"

"Think!" The rest of the players shouted in unison.

"Then let's go. Don't think too much, no matter how meaningful this game is, first of all it is just a game. And we don't have to be afraid of any game."

Walking out of the locker room and stepping into the player tunnel, Riccardo hugged Kaka who was walking towards him, then greeted Pepe, Ramos, Higuain, etc., and finally fixed his eyes on Ronaldo, and Ronaldo also looked at him. Looking back without blinking.

A smile appeared on the corner of Licado's mouth.

This year is not a big game year, so the performance in the league and the Champions League will determine which player can win the Ballon d'Or.

The performance of myself, Messi and Ronaldo is not bad.

Basically, it can be said that whoever wins this game will be able to win the Champions League and take home this year's Ballon d'Or.

I will not hand this honor away.

This Real Madrid team has changed a lot compared to a few years ago. Only 4 players in the starting lineup were played by Ricardo.

Goalkeeper Diego Lopez, defenders Ramos, Pepe, Varane, Coentrao, double midfielders Khedira and Xavi Alonso, in front of them are Ozil, Kaka and Ronaldo , striker Higuain, 4231 formation.

The injuries of Marcelo and Casillas are a major blow to Real Madrid.

For QPR, the lineup is relatively complete, the goalkeeper is still Handanovic, the defender Simeone chose Alex Sandro, Van Dijk and Alderweireld, Maicon, and the midfielder Fernandini O, then the double midfielder Modric and Nainggolan, the three strikers are Ronaldo, Ricardo and Neymar. 4123 formation.

The fans have been waiting, and many people simply don't have the patience to watch the performances before the finals.As soon as the two teams showed up, there was overwhelming cheers.

Amidst the noise, some QPR players turned pale, but most of them recovered their composure after Ricardo's brief speech just now.

After preparatory work such as picking sides, lining up, and taking pictures, the game began and QPR kicked off.

In the 7th minute of the opening, Nainggolan stole the ball from Khedira's feet and pushed it to Modric, who immediately sent a through pass to the left side of the penalty area.

Riccardo cuts in at high speed, takes the ball past Pepe and shoots low with his left foot, Diego Lopez barely saves the ball.Ronaldo followed up with a supplementary shot and hit Ramos who was back on defense, missing a good opportunity.

Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief.

If you fall behind in such a short period of time, it will be difficult to play the next game.

QPR is still playing the same way today, press high, counter-attack on the spot, and if there is no chance to counter-attack, keep the ball firmly.

Pellegrini has studied QPR's style of play for a long time, and has also formulated a series of countermeasures, but it does not seem to have the desired effect.

Today's QPR players are too active and have completely liberated Ricardo, which is not a good thing.

Pellegrini is thinking about how to deal with the sudden change on the court.

QPR organized the attack, the ball was delivered to the right, and Neymar stepped on his bicycle and waded through Coentrao, suddenly accelerating.

Coentraang was caught off guard and was thrown a few positions away.

Neymar was able to cross calmly near the baseline.In the first point, Ronaldo and Varane entangled and no one took advantage. In the middle, Lopez did not rush to get the ball. In the second point, Ricardo suddenly fell to the ground next to Pepe and hit the ball into the net.

"Riccardo Goallll! In the first 8 minutes, QPR took the lead!" shouted the commentator, "QPR got off to a fantastic start in this final!"

"This is Ricardo's 60th goal in all competitions this season and his 14th in the Champions League!"

The tension of the QPR players disappeared at this moment, and everyone had a pleasant smile on their faces.

After celebrating, when he returned to his own half and waited for the opponent to kick off, Licardo said loudly: "Steady! Until the boss makes adjustments, we must stick to the previous style of play!"

Real Madrid kicked off again, and QPR continued to press at a high position. Under QPR's steals, Real Madrid looked very embarrassed. They could only keep passing the ball to the side. Under the circumstances, it is difficult for Ronaldo to pass the ball again.

Pellegrini commanded solemnly from the sidelines and made several fine-tunings, but none of the results were satisfactory.

Real Madrid were completely suppressed.

It wasn't until the 22nd minute of the game that Real Madrid took advantage of a free kick to complete the first shot.

In desperation, even though the team was behind, Pellegrini still asked the team to retreat a little to avoid the edge temporarily.

Real Madrid invested more energy in defense, which made QPR's chances sharply reduced.

The game became dull for a while.

It's not that Pellegrini doesn't want to attack, it's that Real Madrid can't play a smooth offensive at all, so he plans to wait until QPR's physical strength is exhausted and morale declines.

It is difficult for both sides to hit the opponent's penalty area and can only create threats through set kicks and long shots.

QPR also has a little more means, which can use the personal skills of Ricardo and Neymar to create murderous opportunities, but Real Madrid tightens the defense very tightly, and even the lone striker Higuain often returns to the penalty area to defend.

Even if they break through and cut inside, they often can't find a chance to kick.

The commentator smiled: "This is really a typical Champions League final. Both sides played cautiously. But the problem is that Real Madrid is now behind. Does Pellegrini really want to equalize?"

However, in the 43rd minute, Real Madrid played the first smooth attack of the game.Kaka sent a pass from the right, Alderweireld made a mistake and did not clear the ball immediately, Higuain broke into the right side of the penalty area.

When he could shoot with his own foot, he selflessly sent a cross. Ronaldo easily pushed the ball in front of the small penalty area and scored the ball into the empty goal.

“Goallllll！克里斯蒂亚诺.罗纳尔多！他打进了本赛季第51粒进球，这也是他的第13个欧冠进球！这个进球也让他的欧冠历史进球数达到50个，成为继李卡多、劳尔、梅西、范尼斯特鲁伊和亨利之后第6位在欧冠中打入50球以上的球员！”
