"Oh, Ricardo fell to the ground on his own without making physical contact with his opponent, and it looked like he was injured. QPR fans are very worried that if Ricardo goes off injured at this time, the next situation will be very difficult for PQR. ”

"QPR's team doctor came in, they checked on Ricardo and carried him off the field for treatment."

Taking advantage of the fact that Ricardo was injured and QPR had one man less on the pitch, United launched a series of attacks and threatened in the 63rd minute. Wayne Rooney sent in a through ball, Welbeck swept in close range in front of goal, and Handanovic was a god to save the ball. Welbeck continued to rush to shoot and Handanovic clutched the ball again.

"How's he doing?" Simeone watched anxiously as he watched the situation on the field while keeping an eye on Ricardo's side.

"It's not optimistic, he shouldn't be able to continue this game." Kenny Road, the team doctor.

"I can continue," Licardo gritted his teeth and stood up, "It's okay, I know my situation, it's just a little muscle strain, it's nothing." ”

Kenny said solemnly: "Right now, you'll only need to recover in about two weeks, you'll miss the next games against Swansea and West Bromwich Albion, but you'll be in time for the Tottenham game. If you insist on playing and the injury gets worse, you probably won't be able to make it in time for the Tottenham and Chelsea games. ”

'The game against Chelsea can be said later, if you don't win this game, it will be more difficult later.' The doctor's words made Ricardo shake a little, but he still wanted to play.

In the end, it was Simeone who got the idea: "I would rather see a healthy you against Tottenham and Chelsea. Our goal is the championship, but we want to make sure it's the top four. Licardo, I'm the coach and I want you to respect my decision. ”

Ricardo bowed his head.

In the 65th minute, QPR made the first substitution: Callejon came on to replace Ricardo.

"It seems that Ricardo can't hold on anymore. It's a shame. Can United take their chances to take the lead? "Ricardo is undoubtedly the most dangerous player in QPR, and his departure can free up Rafael and Carrick and allow Manchester United to attack without distractions." ”

Jose Mourinho made a quick change, with Ryan Giggs replacing Ashley. Jan comes out. The significance of this move is clear, it is to use the experience advantage of the veteran to strengthen the attack.

In the 69th minute, Manchester United launched an attack from the right, Valencia passed the ball to Rooney, Rooney passed the ball to the bottom line without stopping, Rafael cut in at high speed, hit the ball with his hand, stopped the ball near the baseline, and then crossed with his feet.

The QPR player immediately raised his hand to signal for a foul on Rafael, but the referee did not indicate it. When the ball came to the penalty area, Van Dijk delayed a bit and was robbed of the advantage by Welbeck, who jumped up to head the goal. In desperation, Van Dijk elbowed Welbeck in the back of the neck, who lost his balance and the ball bounced off the back of his head.

"Drop!" The referee ran towards the QPR penalty area and pointed to the penalty spot.

"Penalty! The referee gave a penalty! The narrator shouted, "QPR is in danger!" With little time left, they give their opponent a penalty! ”

The QPR players were naturally unconvinced, and they surrounded the referee, explaining that Rafael had handballed the ball first and that the penalty did not exist.

But the referee was unmoved, only hooked his finger and called Van Dijk and gave him a red card.

Van Dijk couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't know where his movements deserved a red card.

The QPR players were even angrier, and Thiago wore the captain's armband after Ricardo went off the pitch. Motta almost poked his finger at the tip of the referee's nose, who immediately gave him a yellow card.

Both Ricardo and Simeone watched the scene with a silent sigh.

Finally, the QPR players reined in their anger and silently retreated.

United didn't miss the chance as Wayne Rooney took it upon himself to take the spot, and Handanovic made the wrong save.

Mourinho immediately made two substitutions. Jones replaces Rafael and Cleverley replaces Scholes. He was determined to keep the one-goal advantage.

On the QPR side, the players have no intention of fighting, and they have suffered such unfair treatment, and the players are no longer playing football, but venting.

The narrator also lamented: "The general trend of QPR is gone. If Ricardo had been on the pitch, he might have been able to lead them to an equaliser. But Ricardo has gone off injured while Thiago. Motta didn't do his job as captain well, he kept getting angry with Carrick and Cleverley, and he had to be careful, he already had a yellow card on him. Now the QPR is 10 to 11, and if he also goes off the field and becomes 9 to 11, the QPR is even more hopeless. ”

In the final 20 minutes, QPR rushed to attack, but they did not threaten the United goal once, and instead United were given several chances to extend their advantage, only Welbeck and Cleverley failed to capitalise.

When the referee blew the whistle 3 times, the score was fixed at 2:1. Manchester United claimed a crucial victory that extended their winning streak to eight.

They are now four points ahead of QPR and sit high in the standings. Manchester City lost 0-1 away to Arsenal in the just-concluded game, so Manchester United led Manchester City to eight points.

The situation for the top three has basically been decided.

In the dressing room, Ricardo comforted his team-mates: "Never give up hope. We just need to be ourselves and work hard, whether we can win the championship or not is caused by a variety of factors, we can't force it. As long as we approve of it in our hearts, we can have a champion appearance. I think we've got what it takes to be a champion, and I want you to recognize that. ”

'It's not the end of the world, there's still six league games, everything is possible. Of course, a true champion never expects others to make mistakes, but a true champion will definitely seize opportunities when others make mistakes. Manchester United have a game against Manchester City and I don't think they can win the rest of the games. Are you ready when they drop the chain? ”

His words made the morale of QPR rise again.

In the post-match press conference, Simeone expressed strong dissatisfaction, but he also paid more attention to his words, so as not to be punished for not being able to command on the spot.

'I watched the slow-motion replay and Rafael's goal was undoubtedly handball first, and Van Dijk's foul didn't seem to be red carded. I don't understand why the referee made such a decision, I will gather evidence and sue the FA and I hope that Van Dijk's suspension will be lifted. ”

'Congratulations to Jose Mourinho, the team that didn't play so well won and frankly I don't appreciate his football and it's hard for me to be friends with him.

Jose Mourinho triumphantly said: "Three points are three points, no matter what others say, there is no way to reduce the value of three points." I've won a lot of trophies and I'd love to add another Premier League trophy to my collection. ”
