Simeone is finally in charge.

On his first day in office, he told Ricardo: "Buying can be stopped, the team's first-team squad is already very bloated. The players we have are very good and I am confident that I can lead them to a good result. ”

"As you wish, the introduction of young players will continue, but the first team will no longer buy people in principle," Ricardo shrugged, "from today onwards, please see me as your player and stop seeing me as a boss." I hope to work with you to create some great feats, let's work together. ”

"Yes, start with the Champions League this season."

Simeone was under a lot of pressure. It's not easy to get this group of players who have never worked together to play well.

Immediately after he took office, he arranged several friendly matches to train his troops in the competition.

But as everyone expected, in the friendlies, the team's results were up and down, which was not ideal.

The media ridiculed this, and QPR fans also complained about it. The team spent nearly 200 million pounds on people, and they have to see some effect, right?

They don't care that the team needs to run in, what they want to see is that the team is invincible.

Of course, most fans are still sensible. They know that the Premier League is much more difficult than the Championship.

Ricardo has not been able to fully devote himself to training for the time being, and it is very important for him to solve the team's financial problems. Although Olivia, the titular chairman, is in charge, he also has to help.

Finally, before the Premier League opener, the team's sponsorship was all negotiated.

Of course, it was all a short contract, because Licardo believed that under his leadership, QPR would be a regular in the Champions League, or even the Champions League, and at that time, the value of the team would be very different.

For the sake of the two big names, Ricardo and Ronaldo, the sponsors are by no means small.

This year, the team will receive a total of £31 million in sponsorship fees, which is already comparable to the teams in the upper middle of the Premier League. If they reach the Champions League next year, the money will rise to £55 million.

Compared to the shabby sponsorship of millions of pounds a year in the past, it can be said that it is now a sea change.

Driven by the addition of Ricardo and Ronaldo, as well as the team's major reshuffle, the team's jersey sales have also seen a gratifying increase, and it has made a profit of more than 20 million pounds in more than a month.

Season ticket sales have also been very encouraging, with 8,400 season tickets sold last year, and this year, thanks to the arrival of Ricardo, which has greatly stimulated the passion of fans, season ticket sales have doubled to 17,000 copies sold.

When you consider that the team has just over 18,000 seats, you can imagine that the team's home stadium will be full.

If you count the money for the tickets, and then count the broadcast share of this season, the team's transfer fee has basically been earned.

And the team's wage bill this season won't be too high.

Ronaldo only gets a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, and Ricardo doesn't pay himself a salary at all.

The team's maximum salary is currently Thiago. Motta, who earns £130,000 a week after tax.

Of course he definitely deserves the price, and he will still be one of the best playmakers in the world for years to come.

The renovation of the training facilities has been largely completed, and the players' dormitories, canteens, etc. have also been updated, which cost Li a lot of money, but it is worth the money.

At least Simeone was satisfied with it, saying, "It's probably the best training facility in Europe." ”

Everything is ready, just wait for the league to start.

However, in the opening game of the 2011-2012 Premier League season, Queens Park Rangers suffered a head-on attack.

Although Carcciardo opened the scoring for his side, they then conceded a goal in each half to lose 2-1 at home to visiting Bolton Wanderers. If it weren't for Handanovic's courageous performance, the team might have lost by four or five goals.

Then in the second round, Queens Park Rangers challenged Everton away, and when Ronaldo took the lead for the team, the team conceded another goal in the 78th minute, and finally drew 1-1 with the opponent away, and also failed to take all three points. But the team's performance has improved.

Some fans expressed their displeasure with Ricardo after the game, holding up a banner that said, "Don't treat our beloved team as a toy."

In this regard, Ricardo said in an interview that he is indeed managing the team with his heart, asking the fans to be more patient and give the team a little time.

In fact, for a promoted horse, such a result can be described as decent. But who made Ricardo spend so much money? It's hilarious to spend money and not get results.

But Ricardo wasn't in a hurry.

He saw very clearly that the team's problems were actually very simple, that is, the tacit understanding between the players was not enough, Simeone's tenure was too short, and his tactical ideas had not been thoroughly understood by the players.

Simeone wanted the team to press high and counter-attack on the spot, but the lack of tacit understanding and mutual protection made it difficult to grab the ball, which led to a lack of defense at the back.

Simeone wanted his team to be able to keep the ball well when they were ahead, but the players did not have enough tacit understanding and unreasonable movement, making it difficult to keep the ball under control.

These can be improved.

On August 24, Queens Park Rangers played in the League Cup, facing the lower team Rochdale, Simeone lined up a large number of young players, Kante, Pogba and others were given the opportunity to play, and finally won 2:1, ushering in a good start to the season.

Once the door to victory is opened, it can't be closed – but not for Queens Park Rangers.

Back in the league, they travelled to Wigan Athletic, with goals from Ricardo and Alderweireld helping them to a draw. However, in this game, with Wigan Athletic leading 2-0, Queens Park Rangers fought to catch up.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Simeone said he was pleased with the team's performance and that victory would come sooner or later.

This group of young players is a team that is mainly formed and is indeed full of vigor and hard work.

Simeone likes teams like that.

If the technique is not good, you can make it up with willpower.

Poor tactics can be made up by willpower.

What's more, the team still has two generations of new and old champions, and the attack power is not a problem.

As long as the team can run in a little better and improve the state of the back line, it is really possible to reach the top 4.

Don't look at the current team's 2 draws and 1 loss, only 2 points, but the future is definitely promising.

The Premier League transfer window has finally closed. Queens Park Rangers have been the busiest buyers in the transfer market this season, closing dozens of deals.

The team bought Ricardo (€100 million), Ronaldo (free charge), Klose (free charge), Vardy (£300,000), Pelle (free charge), Callejon (£4 million), Coutinho (£4.5 million), Rico (€3 million), McCone (€12 million), Pandev (loan), Nainggolan (€4.5 million), De Bruyne (€1.8 million), Koulibaly (€1.4 million), Handanovic (€6 million), Motta (6 million euros), Borja. Valero (free of charge), Paul Pogba (free of charge), N'Golo Kante (€300,000), Salah (€700,000), Raheem Sterling (£3.5 million), Virgil van Dijk (£4 million), Alderweireld (£9 million), Vertonghen (£8 million), Van der Wiel (£5 million), Alda. Turan (€12 million), Luka Modric (£22 million), Kyle. Walker (£11 million), Gary. Cahill (£7 million), Courtois (€7 million), Isco (free of charge), Carvajal (€5 million), Eric . Dale (free), Dele. Ali (free), Rashford (free).

A total of 34 players were purchased, some of whom were youngsters, of course. But it is also equivalent to completely tearing down the team and rebuilding.

Naturally, the cost is not cheap, and Queens Park Rangers fans are already looking forward to the team's final standings for the new season.
