Chapter 611: This Is the Back I Want to Stay
After watching the game for more than ten minutes, most fans also began to agree with the commentator's point of view. This game shouldn't be a big score.
Both sides were too cautious and threw too many forces into the defense.
In some ways, the game is less like a league and more like a Champions League final. The winner wins, enjoys the spotlights, cameras, reporters and drinks champagne in the locker room. Loser...... Go back and play in the mud.
In the league, you can play wide open, but the Champions League final ...... It must be careful, and then careful.
Ricardo was also regularly involved in defense today. Behind him is McConn, who is too motivated to assist and inserts frequently.
If Ricardo doesn't often come back to fill in for McConn, there will be too many gaps left behind him.
Although Ricardo's defensive ability is not very good...... But even if it's a wooden stake, it can stop the other party for a moment.
As for the energy and physical strength expended in defense, Ricardo has not counted it.
No matter how similar it is to the Champions League final, it is only a league game, there are only 90 minutes of play, and there will be no extra time.
Life or death is decided by these 90 minutes.
It's already the last game of the season, if you don't fight now, when will you wait?
In the 21st minute, Manchester City attacked, and Ricardo also defended to his own half.
Manchester City dominated the QPR penalty area for half a day, but could not find it, and finally Aguero took the ball and used his personal skills to break into the box, but he was soon blocked by QPR's strong defenders.
Aguero couldn't move forward anymore and knocked the ball back to the edge of the box and Yaya Toure fired a long-range shot.
Handanovic held the ball firmly and immediately threw it in his hands to attack.
McConn relayed in the air and swung the ball to Ricardo, who unloaded the ball beautifully, turned and started to sprint.
Zabaleta was shaken down by a feint by Ricardo and was thrown away 5 or 6 meters away in the blink of an eye. Undeterred, Ricardo dribbled quickly through midfield and strode towards City's penalty area.
The City players immediately returned to defence, but no one could keep up with Ricardo's pace. It wasn't until the edge of the box that Barry caught up with Ricardo, who had no choice but to get a yellow card after a side-tackle sent him down outside the box.
Licardo rolled on the ground with his legs covered for a long time, he was not pretending, Barry was really ruthless this time, probably expecting to eat cards anyway, so he simply came ruthlessly.
The team doctor helped him out of the field and gave him simple treatment on the sidelines.
Luka Modric and Ronaldo stand in front of the ball.
The ball is in a pretty good position, about 24-25 meters from the goal, not directly facing the goal, but a little to the side. For right-footed players, this is probably their favorite penalty position, which is not too far away to ensure that the speed of the football does not decay; It will not be too close, causing the ball to fall without sufficient distance after going over the wall.
Manchester City players set up a human wall under Hart's command.
QPR's master of free-kicks is Ricardo, who has taken almost all of his direct free-kicks this season.
Seeing Ronaldo and Luka Modric standing in front of the ball, City's players were not too vigilant.
Since 2006, Ronaldo has rarely taken free-kicks in games, as he has always been on the same team as Ricardo, who has taken away free-kicks.
Only the older players remember that Ronaldo's free-kick was also excellent back then.
Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and whispered: "I'll take this ball, you cover." ”
Modric said dryly: "Okay. ”
Ronaldo's face was expressionless, panting slightly, and no one could see what was going on in his mind.
The referee blew the whistle and Ronaldo and Modric started at the same time, Modric ran a little faster and Ronaldo a little slower.
Ricardo's words echoed in his head.
"I want to play with you, Daddardo."
Actually, I love playing with you, man. But I'm too old to kick. This season, I've only scored 13 goals.
Modric stepped over the ball and continued to run without hesitation. Ronaldo runs to the ball and raises his legs.
"Let's win this championship first."
Let's win this championship first. You have to understand, Ricardo, even though I'm old, I'm still very trustworthy.
Swing your legs.
The soccer ball flew up with grass roots and dirt, and quickly crossed the human wall, drawing a beautiful arc, like a rainbow.
The other end of the rainbow is connected to the net.
Hart struggled to save, but couldn't reach it.
His saves served as the best backdrop for Ronaldo's brilliant free-kick.
"Ronaldo Goalllll! The king of the ball is not old! In such a crucial race, he opened the scoring for QPR! ”
Ronaldo kissed his fingers, then pointed to the sky and galloped happily on the pitch.
Dude, did you see that?
This is the beautiful back I want to leave to the world.
If I retire after this race, I won't regret it.
Ricardo was off the pitch and applauded as he was treated by the team doctor.
Simeone threw a fist in excitement and waved his fist at Mancini in a demonstrative manner.
Mancini smiled wryly and shook his head.
For such a conceded goal, he couldn't find anyone to blame.
If anyone is to blame, it's Barry for fouling Ricardo. But if Barry doesn't foul at once, Ricardo will be in the penalty area. And Ricardo, who broke into the penalty area on a single horse...... Approximately equal to a goal.
So it's an unsolvable question.
Before City restarted, Mancini honked his hands and shouted into the pitch: "Attack! Attack me and get the score back! ”
There is no point in seeking stability anymore. Now, it's all you can do! Manchester City must score two more goals to win the title!
The game continues. In the 26th minute, Nasri broke through Ricardo and crossed to the edge of the box. Motta pulled Sergio Aguero down on the back of the defence and gave City a well-placed free-kick.
However, Manchester City did not take advantage of this opportunity. Silva's shot hit the wall.
Two minutes later, Yaya Toure burst forward with the ball and faked a real pass to Tevez, who immediately made a one-two with Silva, but when Tevez picked up the ball again and shot with his feet, Vertonghen defended and blocked the ball.
In the 33rd minute, Silva cut past Ricardo and passed the ball into the box, but Nasri cut in and shot but did not press it and sent the ball away.
Looking at this series of attacks by Manchester City, Simeone did not care.
It is almost impossible to completely contain City's attack, as long as the defence can remain stable and not give the opponent too many chances.
Manchester City's pressure is exactly what he wants. In this way, QPR can comfortably fight back, so why not?
When it comes to counterattacking, QPR has never been afraid of anyone.
However, something unexpected happened to Simeone.
