Chapter 585 The 1st Hat Trick

Of course, it is impossible for all the players purchased by the team to stay in the first team. In fact, in addition to those players under the age of 18 who are assigned to the youth team, many young players have been loaned out.

Under Marotta's operation, Vardy, Coutinho, De Bruyne, Koulibaly, Courtois, Kante, Salah, Isco, Carvajal, Pogba They have all been loaned out for leveling.

If the team achieves some results this season, it is obvious that some key players will be poached. At that time, it will be time for them to return and show their talents.

After leading the team for 10 games (including friendly matches), Simeone still has not fixed the lineup.

He sometimes uses 4231, a configuration of double defensive midfielders, left and right wingers plus a front midfielder; sometimes he uses 4123, a single defensive midfielder plus double MCs. In the game against Wigan Athletic, he used a 442 midfield parallel position, with Callejon on the left, Alda Turan on the right, Modric in the middle with Nainggolan, and Ricardo playing as a hidden forward, and the effect was also not bad.

He wants to try more and let the players get a feel for it, and is not in a hurry to determine the main lineup for the time being.

What he must admit is that Liccardo does have a good eye for selection.

At present, these people in the first team have shown good competitive status, and each has their own unique skills, which makes him very confident that he can lead the team to achieve good results.

In addition to being the captain of the team, Liccardo also volunteered to work part-time as an assistant coach in order to apply for UEFA's pro-level coaching qualification.

A-level qualifications can only coach teams in the second-tier leagues, reserve teams of top-tier league teams, or serve as assistant coaches. If you want to coach a wealthy club in the future, you must take a pro certificate.

As the team owner, player, captain, and assistant coach of the team, Liccardo has set a precedent.

September 12th is a day worth celebrating for Queens Park Rangers fans.

On this night, the team ushered in the first league victory of the new season.

Against Newcastle at home, Alan Pardew said disdainfully at the pre-match press conference: "Football is not a sport that only has money to play well. Is Manchester City rich enough? Spend a million dollars every season." Two hundred million. After so long, what have they gained? The same goes for Queens Park Rangers. I heard they want to break into the top four? Liccardo had better not dream about it. The goal this season should be to successfully avoid relegation."

Simeone didn't know whether he was trying to please his boss or whether he really thought so, but he responded: "We are not Manchester City.

The biggest difference between us and Manchester City is that we have Ricardo. And Ricardo can transform a team. "

After the game started, Simeone did not choose to play offensive football, but based on defense and played steadily.

The Magpies started a fierce fight and seemed to intimidate their opponents with their momentum, but Queens Park Rangers did a good job with the ball, and for a period of time, they even felt like Barcelona. If Klose and Rico hadn't wasted opportunities frequently, they would have taken the lead.

When the game reached the 77th minute, Liccardo was kicked down while cutting inside and got a free kick. He personally took the penalty and scored the only goal of the game.

It’s not easy, I finally got 3 points.

Simeone said at the post-match press conference, "I am very happy today because the team did not concede a goal, which shows that our defensive system has gradually been established."

In this game, he used a 4123 formation, with Maicon playing at left back, Vertonghen and Alderweireld in the middle, Kyle Walker at right back, Thiago Motta at the back, and Nairobi. Ingeland and Modric are a little further ahead. The reason for being able to keep opponents clean is not because of how fierce the defense is, but because of how well they control the ball.

Of course, Handanovic's performance was also very outstanding, saving several times.

This game also reflected the team's current problems: Although it has a strong offensive line, the players currently lack tacit understanding and can rarely play a smooth offense and fail to pose a sustained threat to their opponents.

In these games, Ricardo has been positioned relatively deep, assisting the midfielder in controlling the ball and not taking advantage of his offensive power.

After returning home, Simone scribbled in his little notebook and wrote down his thoughts.

Although the team's performance is not good and there are many problems, he is becoming more and more confident.

Because even though there are many problems, Queens Park Rangers' results are not that bad.

Once these issues are resolved, the team will achieve a qualitative improvement.

Fans are eager for the team to rise up and kill everyone immediately, but Liccardo believes that the team still needs some time. However, with the current state of the team, it is still possible to abuse food.

On September 17, in the fifth round of the league, Queens Park Rangers encountered Wolves away from home.

Before the game, the media joked that rangers (rangers, rangers, wanderers) have been the nemesis of wild animals since ancient times, and the Wolves were doomed in this battle.

The Wolves successfully avoided relegation last season, but this season they did not invest much and their strength has not improved significantly.

Although they fought fiercely during the game, their defense was left full of holes by Queens Park Rangers' ball control.

Only 7 minutes into the game, Liccardo played a one-stop game by himself, dribbling the ball from the midfield, breaking through four players in a row, shooting from the edge of the penalty area, and the football went into the net.

All the fans stood up and applauded the 25-year-old football king in his prime. Even the visiting team fans stood up and applauded. No one can witness such a wonderful goal without being moved.

This conceded goal panicked the Wolves, and 3 minutes later, they suffered another blow. After more than ten consecutive passes and cooperation, QPR tore apart the Wolves' defense. Modric sent a scalpel-like through ball in the middle. Ronaldo, who made his debut today, successfully countered offside and easily pushed the ball into the far corner.

The former "Ronaldo. But the goalkeeper is uncomfortable. Nardo" has now lost the speed and confidence to play with the goalkeeper, but in the penalty area, he is still a terrifying killer.

QPR, who was leading by two goals, began to slowly control the rhythm of the game, but the Wolves did not give up, and still used the whole court to rush and fight fiercely to give themselves a glimmer of hope.

But in the 37th minute, when Modric dribbled the ball to the right and broke through, he suddenly passed the ball to the left. Liccardo received the ball and picked it, passed the defender, and volleyed into the far corner, giving QPR the lead. Expanded to three goals.

This goal made the Wolves surrender.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Ricardo successfully countered offside, passed the goalkeeper, and scored the ball into the empty goal, completing his first hat trick of the new season.

In the 79th minute, Wilton Henry headed the goal with a corner kick, locking the score at 5:0.

After 5 league games, qpr had 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, quietly climbing to the middle of the standings.
