In the face of QPR's tenacious defense, Liverpool has never been able to score, but QPR frequently uses counterattacks to make Liverpool's defense tight.

However, Reyna also performed very well today, except for a free-kick by Ricardo, and kept the goal intact.

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

After a succession of passes on the edge of the QPR box, Henderson suddenly split the ball and Maxey took the ball and crossed neatly.

Kuyt headed the ball down in the middle, Suarez cut in and fired a shot from close range, the ball bounced off the post, and Gary. Cahill immediately cleared the ball with a big foot.

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

After breaking the ball at the back, Modric immediately found Ricardo with a long pass, forming a 4-on-3.

Ricardo took the ball and burst forward, did not choose to divide the ball, but broke through himself, passed the ball to the goal after connecting two people, and Klose followed up with a push to hit Reina's crotch.

Reyna got down on one leg in time to block the ball.

Both sides did their best, but neither could change the situation, and the final score remained 1-0 until the end. With a free kick from Ricardo, QPR won all three points away.

The victory over Liverpool does not mean that QPR can relax. A week later, they will welcome Manchester United, who are second in the league.

Ricardo will also experience what it's like to face his old club again.

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

But this time he left Manchester United, but he had a bit of a stalemate 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 is a threat to Manchester United.

Luckily, the encounter was at Loftus Road. When we play Old Trafford in the next round, I'm afraid the scene will be more spectacular.

There is no grudge between QPR and Manchester United, to put it cruelly, they did not deserve any grudge with Manchester United in the previous 100 years.

So the media didn't hype up the game.

The only thing to watch out for in this game is that if QPR wins against Manchester United, they could climb to second place in the table.

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

If QPR wins, it will be level on points with Manchester United, and if Manchester City also loses or draws, QPR will become the top of the standings, creating a new history; If Manchester City wins, then QPR will be second.

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

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

'Ricardo is the best player in the world and it's going to be a lot of fun to play against him and I can't wait.' Rooney said.

'He's been a team-mate with us for two years and we all know his threat so no matter what kind of team QPR is, with Ricardo they have the quality to compete with us and I want the players to stay focused and not let up in the game. Gary, who has just retired. Neville admonished his teammates.

Mourinho said that QPR is not a team of Licardo alone, "Although he scored 21 goals in 15 rounds, many people say that Ricardo is carrying QPR alone, but I don't think that's the case. QPR has a lot of good players who can compete with us in every position. They are third in the table not because of luck, but because of their strength. It's a formidable rival. ”

When asked who he planned to use to keep an eye on Ricardo, Mourinho laughed: "No, no, no, no one can freeze Ricardo. I've worked with him for a year and I've seen him do amazing things in training and competitions. 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 no one else can do. If we want to beat QPR, we have to rely on the whole tactic and not count on any one defender to freeze Ricardo. ”

Current captain Patrice Evra said: "It took only two years for Ricardo to become a legend at Manchester United. We can't forget the nine titles he brought us and he made a huge contribution to the team. No matter what people think, I'll hug him before the game. ”

Ricardo was asked how he felt about facing his old club.

Ricardo shrugged and said: "It's not the first time I've faced my old club. It's an amazing feeling, but I'm a professional and I can focus on the game. At Manchester United, I could say that I had a lot of success, but I wanted a new challenge, so I came to QPR. But I'll never forget the Manchester United fans. I now watch Manchester United whenever I have time. ”

Both sides were more restrained and did not give the media much room to use the topic.

In his pre-match press conference, Mourinho was as proud as ever, but also expressed the importance he took for Simeone. Simeone said: "Jose Mourinho has shown that he is one of the best managers in the world and I hope to prove in the coming years that I can be in this category as well. ”

On December 18, the highlight of the 16th round of the Premier League was played at Loftus Road.

Manchester United fielded a 442 line-up, with De Gea in goal, who was desperately in goal, and Smalling, Evans, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra in defenders.

Midfielder Phil. Jones and Michael Carrick partnered in midfield, with Nani and Valencia on the wings.

The forwards were Welbeck and Wayne Rooney.

In terms of QPR, there are a lot of changes compared to the previous round, with Vertonghen, Alderweireld, McConn, Kyle. Walker formed the backline, with Ronaldo returning up front and Rico on the right wing.

The two sides have met 47 times in their history, with Manchester United holding an absolute advantage with 28 wins, 13 draws and 6 defeats. However, the all-time record is only for reference, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current QPR is the best in history, and Manchester United does not dare to take their opponents lightly.

Before the start of the match, Evra made good on his promise and he and Ricardo hugged tightly. Later, Rooney and others also greeted Ricardo cordially.

But when it came to the game, United were not so easy to talk to.

As soon as the QPR kick-off, Manchester United launched a frenzied rush in front of the field and successfully broke the ball to launch an attack. Carrick handed the ball down the right and Valencia quickly sent in a low cross, Rooney flanked in the middle and flicked the ball into the net.

The commentator was still broadcasting the lineups of both sides, and had to interrupt, shouting: "Rooney Goalllll!" It was a brilliant goal, and in the 41st second of the game, Manchester United got off to a perfect start! They are ahead of their opponents on the road! ”
