After winning Manchester United, QPR was full of morale, beating Sunderland 4-1 at home and Swansea 2-0 away.

Manchester City was equalized by West Bromwich Albion in the 18th round of the league, and QPR finally sat on the top of the standings!

However, in the 19th round of the league, as a guest at the Emirates Stadium, QPR was unlucky. When leading 1:0, he was scored a fairy ball by Rosicky.

Entering the second half, QPR attacked more aggressively, and Pandev received a ball from Luka Modric to give QPR the lead again, but soon after Arshavin assisted Van Persie to equalise again.

Three of QPR's shots were denied by the woodwork, and Ricardo was also injured in the game, which was really unlucky.

However, they still hold the top spot at the top of the table as Manchester City suffered a surprise defeat away to Sunderland.

At present, QPR is at the top of the table with 43 points, and Manchester City is second with 42 points.

Manchester United has a slump after losing to QPR, losing to Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle, achieving three consecutive defeats, currently accumulating 39 points, Tottenham Hotspur in these three rounds of one win, one draw and one loss, with 39 points, but Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur can not be regarded as falling behind, and the first two are still very tight.

Before the opening of the winter window, QPR stood first in the league and became the half-way champion, for which Simeone specially organized a meeting with the theme of "although you are lucky to be the half-way champion, you must not let up, and continue to work hard until you get the league championship". This year's championship competition is very fierce, which is a good thing for QPR, and the strong forces are in a melee, so that QPR can take advantage of the situation.

On New Year's Eve, Ricardo had planned to organize another dinner for the players, congratulate everyone on their achievements, and hope that everyone will continue to work hard, promising a large prize money after winning the championship.

It's just that this dinner party didn't work out. On the evening of December 31, as the current number one football star in the Premier League, he took Olivia to attend the New Year's Eve party held by the British royal family.

Licardo's injury is not serious, with an ankle contusion, but he will not be in time for the game against Norwich City on 2 January, and the FA Cup away to Milton Keynes Dons afterwards, although he should be able to recover well against Newcastle in the 21st round of the league.

On the evening of January 2, when QPR hosted Norwich, Ricardo was in distant Ukraine, attacking Fernandinho with Marotta.

In the end, it was Fernandinho who took the initiative to express his desire to join QPR, and Shakhtar had to release him. Of course, there is not much room for negotiation in price, as one of the famous black shops in Europe, miners must be high-quality, high-quality, of course, the price is also very expensive.

The final negotiated price was £25 million, close to €40 million, and Shakhtar bought Fernandinho from Atletico Paranaense for only €8.25 million, which is a good deal.

Shortly after QPR's 3-0 home defeat of Norwich, the official tweet announced: "26-year-old Fernandinho joins from Shakhtar. Welcome him to the QPR family! ”

Ricardo returned to London and began training, while Marotta rushed to Madrid to try to tackle Felipe. Louis.

On 7 January, QPR won their first FA Cup win with a hard-fought 1-0 away win at lower-tier Milton Keynes Dons.

Ricardo also began to train with the team.

However, Marotta brought him bad news: Atletico Madrid refused to release him. Unless the offer reaches more than 30 million euros.

This greatly exceeded Ricardo's projections, and last year's Felipe . Luiz spent only 11 million euros on his transfer to Atletico Madrid, and Ricardo didn't want to be wronged.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked Marotta to go all out to tackle Alex. Sandro.

Born in 1991, Alex. Sandro is about to turn 21, and two years ago he was sold to Portugal's Maldonado Sport by Atletico Paranaense for 2.2 million euros, and then loaned to Santos, where he performed well.

His performances have already caught the eye of Porto, who are competing with QPR for the player.

His original price was not high, but after two teams competed, his value soared.

Ricardo instructed Marotta that good full-backs are scarce talents and must win Alex. Sandro, as long as the price is less than 15 million euros, grit his teeth and take it.

Marotta's negotiation skills are still there.

Ahead of the team's trip to St James's, Marotta finally brought back good news: Alex. Sandro is willing to join for a fee of 11 million euros.

QPR's official tweet immediately announced the good news, and a large number of fans began to ask google, this Alex. Where is Sandro sacred, and why is he worth as much as 11 million euros.

Of course, in the eyes of FM players and veteran ball critics, Alex. Sandro is a well-known demon who can guard the left gate of any big team for ten years in FM games.

In Ricardo's mind, due to the very difficult situation the team is facing right now, Alex. Sandro can't be a regular for the time being, but Simeone should also make sure he gets playing time so that he can grow smoothly. McConn can be his master and teach him a few tricks.

Next season, Alex. Sandro will be a regular regular in the team, playing for the team's third line.

On the evening of January 15, QPR arrived at St James' Park, and Ricardo did not recover from his injury and did not make the starting line-up, but was in the squad.

In the first half, Newcastle led 1-0.

But heading into the second half, Klose and Ricardo scored a goal each to help QPR achieve a comeback.

After this campaign, QPR has reached 49 points and continues to lead the Premier League standings.

Manchester City won Liverpool and Wigan Athletic to remain in second place with 48 points.

Manchester United have won both of their games since the New Year, and with 45 points, they are still in third place.

Tottenham won West Bromwich Albion but were held to a draw by Wolves and finished fourth with just 43 points.

It is clear that Tottenham have fallen behind.

On January 18, it was another FA Cup match, and this time QPR's opponent was the old enemy and the sworn enemy of the same city, Chelsea.

A win against QPR would see them reach the last eight of the FA Cup.

Chelsea's form has been up and down lately, with a run of four games without a win before the New Year, barely winning two games since the New Year, but also stumbling over.

QPR played at home, and Boas learned the lesson of the big defeat in the last meeting and hoarded heavy troops to defend.

However, in the 75th minute, Ricardo took the lead with a direct free-kick.

Chelsea woke up from a dream and started attacking, but it was too late, QPR's defence was no longer as fragile as it was at the start of the season, and the centre-back combination of Alderweireld and Vertonghen had fully adapted to the pace of the Premier League.

In the end, with Licardo's goal, QPR defeated the sworn rival in the same city 1:0 and broke into the top 8 of the FA Cup.
