Chapter 591 The Chance of Reaching the Top

Facing QPR's tenacious defense, Liverpool has never been able to score. Instead, QPR frequently used counterattacks to make Liverpool's defense tight.

However, Reina's performance today is also very good. Except for a free kick scored by Ricardo, he has been trying to keep the goal clean.

In the 77th minute of the game, Liverpool got the best chance of the game.

After consecutive passes at the front of QPR's penalty area, Henderson suddenly widened the ball, and Maxi took the ball and passed it neatly.

Dirk Drivet headed the ball in the middle and knocked the ball down. Suarez shot in from close range. The ball bounced off the post and Gary Cahill immediately cleared the ball with a big kick.

In the 81st minute, QRP also got a chance to expand the score.

After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Modric immediately made a long pass to find Ricardo, forming a 4v3.

Ricardo took the ball and rushed forward, instead of splitting the ball, he broke through by himself. After passing two people in a row, he passed the ball to the goal. Klose followed up with a push and shot, trying to hit Reina's crotch.

Reina got down on one knee in time to block the ball.

Both sides tried their best, but they failed to change the situation. In the end, the score of 1:0 was maintained until the end.Relying on Ricardo's free kick, QPR took all 3 points away.

Victory over Liverpool does not mean that QPR can relax.A week later, they will welcome the second-ranked Manchester United in the league.

Ricardo will also experience the feeling of facing his old club once again.

When he left Inter Milan and Real Madrid, he had a good relationship with the fans.

But this time when he left Manchester United, he had a bit of trouble with the fans.

And the key point is that his previous transfer was to leave the league where he was, but this time, his transfer to QPR in the same league has posed a threat to Manchester United.

But fortunately, this match was at the Loftus Road Stadium.When they play against Old Trafford in the next round, I am afraid the scene will be more spectacular.

There is no grievance between QPR and Manchester United. To put it cruelly, they did not deserve any grievances with Manchester United in the previous hundred years.

So the media didn't hype the game up.

The only thing to look at in this game is that if QPR beats Manchester United, it will be possible to climb to second place in the standings.

In the last round of the league, both Tottenham and Manchester City lost. Tottenham unexpectedly lost to Stoke City, and Manchester City lost to Chelsea.At present, Manchester City is still ranked second with 35 points, Manchester United ranked first with 36 points, Tottenham ranked fourth with 32 points, QPR has quietly advanced to one place, and ranked third with 33 points.

If QPR wins, it will share the same points with Manchester United. If Manchester City also loses or draws, QPR will become the first in the standings and create a new history; if Manchester City wins, then QPR will be ranked second.

QPR is gearing up and down, vowing to defeat a strong opponent at the Loftus Road Stadium and usher in a chance to reach the top.

The game is getting closer and closer, and players from both sides also showed a strong fighting spirit in interviews.

"Ricciardo is the best player in the world, it will be very interesting to play against him, I can't wait." Rooney said.

"He has been with us for two years. We are very aware of his threat. No matter what kind of team QPR is, after having Ricardo, they have the strength to challenge us. I hope the players in the game Keep your focus and don't let up in the slightest." Gary Neville, who has just retired, warned his teammates.

Mourinho said that QPR is not Ricardo's team alone. "Although he scored 15 goals in 21 rounds, many people said that Ricardo carried QPR forward alone, but I don't think so. QPR have a lot of good players who can compete with us in every position. It's not because of luck, but because of quality, they are third in the table. It's a terrible rivalry."

When asked who he planned to mark Ricardo, Mourinho laughed: "No, no one can freeze Ricardo. I worked with him for a year and saw him in training and in games. Unbelievable performance. He is a player at the same level as Messi, Ronaldo and Ronaldo. They are all magicians on the pitch and can do things that others cannot. If we want to beat QPR, we must rely on overall tactics, not Count on a defensive player to freeze Ricardo."

The current captain Evra said: "It took Ricardo just two years to become a legend of Manchester United. We must not forget that he has brought us 9 championships, and he has made great contributions to the team. .No matter what other people think, I will give him a hug before the game."

Ricardo was asked how he felt facing his old club.

Ricardo shrugged and said: "This is not the first time I have faced my old club. It is a wonderful feeling, but I am a professional player and I can concentrate on the game. At Manchester United, it should be possible to say I had a lot of success but I wanted a new challenge and I came to QPR. But I will never forget the Manchester United fans. I watch United now whenever I can."

Both parties were relatively restrained, and did not give the media much room to make excuses.

At the press conference before the game, Mourinho was as arrogant as ever, but he also expressed his importance to Simeone.Simeone said: "Mourinho has proved that he is one of the best managers in the world, and I hope to prove that I can also enter the ranks in the next few years."

On December 12, the highlight of the 18th round of the Premier League kicked off at the Loftus Road Stadium.

Manchester United formed a lineup of 442. The goalkeeper is the desperate De Gea of ​​Ricardo, and the defenders Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand and Evra.

Midfielder Phil Jones and Carrick partnered in the defensive midfielder, while Nani and Valencia were in charge of the two flanks.

The forwards are Welbeck and Rooney.

In terms of QPR, it has changed a lot compared to the last round. Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Maicon, and Kyle Walker formed the defense line. Ronaldo returned on the front line, and Rico was used as the right winger.

The historical confrontation between the two sides has reached 47 times, and Manchester United has an absolute advantage with 28 wins, 13 draws and 6 losses.However, the historical records are only for reference. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current QPR is the best in history. Manchester United does not dare to underestimate their opponents.

Before the game started, Evra fulfilled his promise, he and Ricardo hugged tightly.Afterwards, Rooney and others greeted Ricardo cordially.

But when it comes to the game, Manchester United is not so easy to talk about.

After QPR kicked off, Manchester United immediately launched a rush in the frontcourt, successfully stealing the ball and successfully launching an attack.Carrick handed the broken ball to the right, Valencia quickly made a pass from the bottom, Rooney outflanked it in the middle, flicked the header, and the football hit the net.

The commentator was still broadcasting the lineups of the two sides, so he had to interrupt and shouted: "Rooney Goalllll! A very wonderful goal. In the 41st second of the game, Manchester United made a perfect start! They lead the opponent away!"
