"Ricardo Goallllllll! He scored his 40th league goal of the season! QPR scored a valuable goal away from home and now QPR is ahead! ”

"In the standings, QPR temporarily overtook Manchester United and was at the top of the table! Can Mourinho come up with any countermeasures? The Red Devils are not willing to lose at home, not just for the title but also for glory, and if they lose here as well, they will be beaten by QPR this season, and the proud Jose Mourinho will never allow that to happen. ”

Mourinho looked grim, but he didn't shout in anger. He was mentally prepared for a goal by Ricardo.

After the resumption of kick-off, he watched the situation on the pitch and began to direct his team to intensify the attack from the sidelines.

Simeone is also stubborn, he asks the team to push out, press high, and never retreat.

This gave both sides a few chances, and if the pass was successful, United could penetrate the QPR defence; If the QPR makes a successful tackle up front, it will have a great opportunity to counter-attack.

In the 35th minute, Manchester United organized an attack to the edge of the penalty area, Scholes sent a brilliant pass, and Rooney's shot was saved by Handanovic.

Two minutes later, QPR counter-attacked, Ricardo dribbled down and knocked back in a triangle. Turan got up from near the penalty spot and De Gea saved the ball.

In the 38th minute, United attacked from the right, Valencia and Rafael played a one-two past Ricardo and McConn, Valencia passed the ball into the box, and Welbeck grabbed a header from Alderweireld and Van Dijk in the bag, just over the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute, Paul Scholes sent another exquisite pass, Patrice Evra cut into the box and fired a low shot that went wide of the far corner.

In the 45th minute, QPR broke the ball in front of the field, and Modric sent the ball to the feet of Ricardo.

Seeing that De Gea was in a higher position, Ricardo suddenly shot from 40 yards from goal, De Gea retreated in panic and barely jumped up in the retreat, but he still couldn't get the football, and he also fell to the ground.

However, it was also providential that the ball fell quickly and slammed into the crossbar and bounced right in front of De Gea.

De Gea immediately got up and pressed on the football, and if he was half a beat slower, Ronaldo would have been able to make a stop-up shot.

In stoppage time, Wayne Rooney burst into the QPR box with the ball and then knocked the ball with his heel, Scholes followed up with a powerful shot that bounced off the post.

In just two minutes, both sides hit the post once!

Fortunately, at this time, the referee blew the game off and went into half-time, otherwise it is likely that another side of the goal will be broken.

As he walked into the tunnel, Ricardo had a few conversations with a few Manchester United acquaintances, talking and laughing. The United players were not discouraged, and despite being behind the scoreline, they looked confident and in the mood to joke around with Ricciardo.

In the visitors' dressing room, Simeone spent a lot of time setting up tactics.

What to do if you score another goal, what to do if you get one back from Manchester United, what tactics to use if the score remains the same...... He explained it all in detail, so that the players could face various situations.

The general tactical idea is still based on high-level pressing and on-the-spot counterattack, which puts forward high requirements for the team's physical fitness. He repeatedly confirmed the fitness of core players such as Ronaldo and Ricardo in order to make substitutions at the most appropriate time.

"You'd better be able to help the team score another goal," Simeone pulled Ricardo as he walked to the tunnel, whispering, "A one-goal lead is not safe." You saw the first half as well, United were in very good form today and they went close to finding the back of the net on a couple of occasions. And that's when they don't have a lot of people in the attack. If they had stepped up their commitment to attack in the second half, it would have been difficult for us to withstand. ”

"I'll do my best!" Ricardo smiled and nodded.

Simeone advises: "More and Alda. Turan switched positions, you can try to play on the right and Patrice Evra didn't play well in defense today and seemed to have a bit of an injury. ”

"Okay, I'll try my best."

No one expected that as soon as they entered the second half, the scene changed dramatically.

In the 47th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked again from the right, Valencia crossed from 45 degrees, Welbeck headed back, Rooney rounded his leg and shot hard, and the football hit Van Dijk and bounced out of the penalty area. Scholes volleyed in from outside the box, Handanovic had already made a move when Rooney had shot before, and could do nothing but watch Scholes's shot.

"Scholes Goallll!" The commentator excitedly shouted, "This is a great goal!" Scholes is old and strong! ”

The QPR players protested around the referee who believed that the ball was in an offside position when the header was crossed.

But the referee still insisted that the goal was valid.

Slow-motion from the big screen above the pitch showed that Welbeck was indeed offside at the moment of Valencia's pass.

The QPR players did not expect to concede the ball at the beginning, and the goal was so aggrieved that they couldn't slow down for a while, and there were frequent mistakes on the field.

United took the opportunity to unleash several waves of very dangerous attacks.

In the 49th minute, Ashley. Jan breaks through Kyle. Walker's defence, sending the ball into the box, Welbeck fired a left-footed shot at goal, but he was too angle-oriented, and the ball slid out of the corner for the corner.

In the 52nd minute, after Scholes and Rooney made a one-two, they shot the edge of the penalty area and were knocked out by Handanovic.

Two minutes later, Valencia received a long pass from Carrick and dribbled to the right edge of the penalty area, where Rooney volleyed and slid out.

In the 57th minute, Paul Scholes sent a scalpel-like through ball and Rafael's shot was blocked by Handanovic's leg and bounced off the crossbar.

Simeone was angry on the sidelines: "What are you all doing? It's still a draw, do you want to lose the game and go back? Cheer me up! ”

However, he also signaled the team to recycle and no longer execute high pressing. On the one hand, the players' physical fitness has declined, and the effect of high pressing is not good, and on the other hand, Manchester United is playing more and more smoothly, and cannot leave too much room for Manchester United to plug through.

Ricardo worked hard and also followed Simeone's instructions and kept talking to Alda. Turan switched positions, but Patrice Evra, despite being injured, was too familiar with him and made him very uncomfortable.

He can only go back to the left.

Modric was out of form today, made frequent mistakes, and couldn't provide him with much support, so Ricardo had to take the ball on his own.

In the 61st minute, Licardo dribbled the ball on the left side, Carrick and Rafael came up together to wrap up, Licardo suddenly smashed the ball and wanted to shake off the two, but there was a sharp pain on the outside of his right thigh, and he could only barely kick the ball out of the sideline and sit on the ground.
