Chapter 583 Derby
In the English League Cup on September 9, QPR, which had undergone a major rotation, defeated Aldershot in the low-level league 20:2 in an away game, and was able to move on.
回到联赛，9月25日的第6轮联赛里，QPR主场2：1战胜阿斯顿维拉，在各项赛事中取得了4连胜。
在联赛中3胜2平1负积11分，名列积分榜第6。
This can be said to be the team's highest Premier League ranking in more than ten years.
The morale of the team was high, and the fans were also jubilant. Some radical fans even shouted the slogan of "10 consecutive victories".
But the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
On the evening of October 10, QPR challenged Fulham away.
As a London team, the relationship between QPR and Fulham is not good.Not to mention a deadly enemy, but every collision is also full of passion.
Less than 20 minutes into the game, Ricardo encountered many vicious tackles and was finally sent off.
Losing Riccardo's QPR is like losing its backbone, and began to make mistakes one after another.
When the first half ended, the team had fallen behind 1:3.
Simeone lost his temper during the intermission and adjusted his tactics, but after the start of the second half, the team still did not change, conceded two goals in 20 minutes, and fell behind 1:5.
At this time, the team woke up like a dream and began to cheer up. They scored two goals in the 77th and 81st minutes, rewriting the score to 3:5.
But Fulham scored another goal in the 86th minute to lock the score at 6:3.
QPR suffered a crushing defeat.
It seems to be returning to a familiar rhythm.
The fans were worried that the team would be in a slump, and they were even more worried about Ricardo's injury.
Fortunately, after careful inspection, it was confirmed that Ricardo's injury was not serious, and he only needed to be out for two weeks.
Even more fortunately, there are no club games during these two weeks, it is the national team game day.
On October 10, QPR played against Blackburn at home, and Ricardo also returned to the court.
He was very active in the game and scored twice in the first half to give the team the lead.
After entering the second half, he passed another breakthrough and assisted Klose to score with a cross from the bottom. In the end, QPR won 3:1 without suffering a losing streak.
After 8 games, QPR achieved 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 14 points and ranking 7th in the standings. The position is still good, and it is only 4 points away from the top 3.
If you can continue to improve a bit, it seems that entering the Champions League is not a dream?
But a severe test lies ahead.
QPR's opponent in the next round of the league is their city rival: Chelsea.
Chelsea is in a very good state this season, and Villas-Boas's performance in leading the team is not bad. They scored a total of 3 goals in the previous 13 rounds of the league. This game is a great test for QPR's defense.
"However, we must also pay attention to one thing," Simeone said when mobilizing, "They have conceded the ball in 7 consecutive games. Their defense has problems. Ronnie, Ricardo, can you take the lead for us? Opening up the situation will be the key to the outcome of this game.”
Ronaldo nodded.He will start this game.
He is not the absolute main force of the team now, but plays in rotation with Klose depending on the opponent.
Pellet is a surprise player, sometimes coming off the bench.
Ronaldo is quite satisfied with the current playing time.He is 35 years old, it is impossible to play 90 minutes every game.Such intensity is just right.
To be able to score goals in the top league is already a remarkable thing considering his age and his usual training attitude.
Chelsea formed a 433 formation today, goalkeeper Petr Cech, defenders Bosingwa, John Terry, David Luiz, Ashley Cole, midfielders Lampard, Meireles and Mikel, and Ma Tower, Drogba and Sturridge.
QPR's lineup is not complete, Alderweireld has accumulated yellow cards and suspended, Motta also has a minor injury and cannot play, Rico has a muscle discomfort and cannot start.Goalkeeper Handanovic, defenders Maicon, Vertonghen and Van Dijk, Kyle Walker, Nainggolan and Modric play the midfielder, Arda Turan plays the midfielder, Ricardo on the left, Ricardo on the right Pandev, before Ronaldo.
Judging from the lineup, QPR's midfielder is a little thinner, and there is not even a purely defensive midfielder.
Now that he played, Ricardo has begun to regret that he didn't forcefully poach Fernandinho at the beginning.At that time, he thought that with Kanter available, there was no need to spend a lot of money on Fernandinho.
But in fact, Kanter is far from a finished product, but Fernandinho can plug and play.
Simeone has already talked to Ricardo about his weak waist, and also expressed his optimism for Fernandinho, thinking that this is the player he needs.
After the winter transfer window opens, Ricardo will invest more and try to attack Fernandinho again.After all, it is related to whether the team can enter the Champions League. If it enters the Champions League, it can make a profit of tens of millions of euros. Compared with the purchase of Fernandinho, it is still a good deal.
But now the team can only continue to fight without Fernandinho.
QPR played very actively, using the ball to constantly find the opponent's weakness. Both Modric and Arda Turan can send precise through balls, directly threatening the opponent's penalty area.Less than 10 minutes into the game, Ricardo's breakthrough on the left frequently threatened Chelsea's defense. Mikel and Bosingwa received yellow cards respectively.
Compared with QPR's initiative, Chelsea seems out of shape today, and the atmosphere at Loftus Road Stadium has more or less affected the emotions of the players.
Since the new season, the Loftus Road Stadium is almost full, and the fans are very enthusiastic.Although there are not many people, it is impossible to feel overwhelming like the Nou Camp and Bernabeu, but the Loftus Road Stadium is very narrow and cramped, which brings people a very depressing psychological feeling.For the visiting players, it seems that the home fans can throw any lighter on their heads.
In this environment, Chelsea players are a little bit restrained.
He didn't make a foul when it should be ruthless, and fouled when he shouldn't.
QPR have had two shots, while Chelsea still have zero.
In the 12th minute of the game, Ronaldo suddenly inserted from behind Ashley Cole and received a long pass from Modric. He swiped the ball away from his compatriot David Luiz and passed the ball At the back point, Ricardo grabbed the point and easily pushed and scored.
QPR has taken the lead!
For this unexpected conceded goal, the Chelsea players seemed unprepared.They didn't bounce back for a long time after losing the ball.
But QPR began to control the ball, their ball control tactics became more and more mature, and the game played better and better.
Ricardo had already retreated to the midfield, but seeing that Chelsea had no fighting intentions, he swam forward again to look for opportunities.
In the 18th minute, Modric sent a through pass again, and Ricardo suddenly started, bypassing Bosingwa, receiving the ball behind Terry, and breaking into the penalty area.
In desperation, Terry stretched out his hand, and Licado fell to the ground.
The referee May immediately rushed into the penalty area while blowing his whistle, pointing to the penalty spot.penalty!
