Chapter 603: Triwizard Rivalry

On the evening of 11 April, QPR, who were missing Ricardo, beat Swansea 4-0 at home to pick up the precious three points.

That's not what pleases them the most.

What excites them the most is that Manchester United lost to Wigan Athletic away!

Manchester United has dropped the chain!

The gap between QPR and Manchester United has narrowed to 1 point again, with Manchester United currently in first and second place with 76 points and QPR with 75 points.

Manchester City also won comfortably, reaching 71 points and closing the gap to Manchester United to five points.

At this time, Mourinho was not panicked, but the odds of winning the championship have obviously changed again, and the media has begun to sing down Manchester United.

On the evening of April 14, QPR travelled to West Bromwich Albion, with Licardo continuing to be sidelined due to injury. West Bromwich Albion are now 10th, with no hope of European competition and no relegation, and everyone thought that they would only symbolically resist for a while and then raise their hands in surrender.

But the truth was unexpected.

With Klose scoring the first goal for QPR, West Bromwich Albion stubbornly equalised in the second half.

Although the QPR players were fully engaged and bombarded in the last minute of the game, West Bromwich Albion actually set up a bus at home to block the QPR attack.

In the end, QPR only took one point away from home.

The next day, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-0 and Manchester City swept Norwich 6-1.

As a result, the standings changed again: Manchester United were first with 79 points, QPR was second with 76 points, and Manchester City was third with 74 points.

If this continues, QPR will not even win the championship, and it will be difficult to hold on to the second place.

The odds to win the title have changed again, and fans, commentators and bookmakers are very optimistic about the Red Devils Manchester United, who have a three-point lead.

Some media said: In terms of winning the championship, Manchester United is professional. They know exactly how to play when they're ahead and how to play when they're behind. They don't rush and always win in the end.

QPR, on the other hand, lacks precipitation, experience, and some accumulation, so it repeatedly drops the chain at the last moment.

With only four rounds of the league to play, QPR faces Tottenham, Chelsea, Stoke City and Manchester City. Strong enemies are like clouds.

But the morale of the QPR is not depressed.

Because of Ricardo's comeback.

"I don't know if we still have any hope of winning the championship, now I only have one request! Win the remaining 4 games! In the last 4 rounds, give me all 12 points! Whether you can win the championship or not depends on God's arrangement! After returning to the team, Ricardo said loudly in training.

"Victory! Victory! The players blushed and shouted.

On the evening of April 21, QPR welcomed Tottenham at home. The QPR players were confident and morale-boosting as Manchester United were held to a 4-4 draw at home by Everton in a game that ended two hours earlier.

Manchester United, who were eliminated in the Champions League group stage, would drop the chain at the last moment of the league, which is something that no one could have imagined. They are also out of the FA Cup and EFL Cup early this season, playing on a single front, and it stands to reason that this will not be the case. I heard that there was a conflict in their dressing room, and some players did not agree with Mourinho's management style.

Of course, only the parties know what the specific situation is.

QPR No matter how much, as long as they win this round, they will be able to close the points gap to 1 point!

And with 3 rounds remaining, anything can happen!

Just 4 minutes after the start of the game, Licardo, who had just returned, received a free kick from Modric and scored with a header!

The song of Ricardo rang out at the Loftus Road Stadium.

Tottenham certainly don't want to lose, they want to squeeze into the top four, and they are only one point away from Arsenal, and they are certainly not willing to concede defeat at this time.

Tottenham launched a fierce attack, but Simeone did not let the team retreat, and QPR launched a fierce high press, not allowing Tottenham to organize an attack easily, and often defused the crisis outside the penalty area.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0.

Entering the second half, the exhausted QPR began to shrink the defense, Simeone replaced Rico, replaced Borja. Valero strengthened his possession in midfield and the team played in a 4411 formation.

In the 79th minute, Ricardo started a long run from the midfield, ran 50 meters with the ball, and then sent the ball to the goal, Ronaldo jumped up to shoot and sealed the victory for QPR.

Simeone immediately replaced Ricardo with three, no, four tough games waiting for him, including the FA Cup final.

The score of 2:0 remained until the end, and after this round, Manchester United reached 80 points, QPR was second with 79 points, and Manchester City also won, ranking third with 77 points.

In the last few rounds, the top 3 still bite so tightly, which is very rare in the history of the Premier League in the past ten years.

Most likely, until the final round, it will not be possible to determine who the champion will belong!

After the win at Tottenham, QPR did not celebrate. They will take on derby rivals Chelsea away.

The team has been in intense training.

The good news is that Chelsea have a bloody clash with Barcelona three days before this game, so it is likely that Chelsea's squad will be incomplete and fitness will suffer.

Before the game, the war of words had begun. When Chelsea held Barcelona to a 2-2 draw to secure their place in the final, Simeone was blunt: "Chelsea are sixth in the league and they are out of the Champions League zone. I think the best way for them to play in next season's Champions League is to try to win the final. ”

'It was really good in [their] game against Barcelona. I didn't go to watch the game, but I watched it,' said Simeone, 'and they were able to equalise when they were two goals down with one man down, so Chelsea are undoubtedly getting bigger and bigger, and they've shown a tenacious fighting spirit and an indomitable spirit in the game. And we, although we are now second in the league, there is no doubt that we are only a grassroots team. I like the story of the grassroots counterattacking the giants the most. ”

'It's a very well-balanced Chelsea team with great players in all positions, but the midweek game has taken so much energy and passion out of them and Didier Drogba is injured, so we'll definitely have a bigger advantage at the weekend.'

In his pre-match press conference, Simeone reiterated: "We have only one belief: to win the game. Chelsea have to be distracted from the Champions League and they have to recharge their batteries for the Champions League final, so it's clear that the win will be ours. ”

Boas's response was weak. 'For the derby, of course we don't take it lightly. We want to defend our honor. ”

'We remember the heavy defeat in the last leg and I won't allow the team to accept another defeat.

For his part, Ricardo said in an interview: "As long as I'm in QPR for a day, Chelsea don't want to take advantage of the derby. ”

On the afternoon of 29 April, QPR visited Stamford Bridge. This game, which may be related to the ownership of the championship, has attracted the attention of countless fans around the world.
