Chapter 611 This Is the Back I Want to Leave Behind
? After watching the game for more than ten minutes, most fans also began to agree with the commentator's point of view. This game should not be a big score.
Both sides were too cautious and invested too much force in defense.
In some respects, this game is less like a league game and more like a Champions League final. The winner wins the championship, enjoying the spotlight, cameras, reporters mobbing and drinking champagne in the locker room. The loser...goes back to play in the mud.
In the league, you can play wildly, but in the Champions League final... you must be careful, and be careful.
Ricardo was also often involved in defense today. Behind him is Maicon. Maicon's assist enthusiasm is too high, and he inserts frequently.
If Riccardo doesn't return to defend frequently to help Maicon cover, there will be too much space behind him.
Although Ricardo's defensive ability is not very good...but even a wooden stake can block the opponent for a while.
As for the energy and physical energy consumed in defense, Liccardo no longer calculates it.
No matter how similar it is to the Champions League final, this is just a league game, with only 90 minutes and no overtime.
Life or death is decided by these 90 minutes.
It’s already the last game of the season. If we don’t fight now, when will we wait?
In the 21st minute, Manchester City attacked and Ricardo also returned to defend in his own half.
Manchester City controlled the ball around QPR's penalty area for a long time and could not get into the penalty area. Finally, Aguero took the ball and used his personal skills to break into the penalty area, but he was soon blocked by QPR's strong defender.
Aguero could no longer move forward and knocked the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, where Yaya Toure shot a long shot.
Handanovic held the ball firmly and immediately threw the ball to start the attack.
Maicon made an alley-oop and passed the ball to Ricardo. Ricardo removed the ball beautifully, turned around and started sprinting.
Zabaleta was knocked down by a fake move by Ricardo and was thrown 5 or 6 meters away in the blink of an eye. Liccardo's speed did not slow down at all, he dribbled the ball quickly through the midfield, strode towards the Manchester City penalty area.
Manchester City players immediately returned to defense, but no one could keep up with Liccardo's speed. It wasn't until the edge of the penalty area that Barry caught up with Ricardo. At this time, he had no good choice.
A side tackle brought Liccardo down outside the penalty area, and he also received a yellow card.
Ricardo rolled on the ground holding his legs for a long time. He was not pretending, Barry was really cruel this time. He probably expected that he would be kicked anyway, so he might as well be cruel.
The team doctor helped him out and gave him simple treatment on the sidelines.
Modric and Ronaldo stand in front of the ball.
The ball is in a very good position, about 24-25 meters away from the goal. It is not directly opposite the goal, but slightly to the side. For right-footed players, this is probably their favorite penalty kick position. It is neither too far to ensure that the speed of the football does not decrease; nor is it too close to cause the football to fall over the wall without sufficient distance.
Manchester City players set up a wall under Hart's command.
QPR's free kick master is Ricardo. Almost all direct free kicks this season are taken by Ricardo.
Seeing Ronaldo and Modric standing in front of the ball, Manchester City's players were not too wary.
Since 2006, Ronaldo has rarely taken free kicks in games because he has always been in the same team as Ricardo, and Ricardo took all the team's free kicks.
Only older players remember that Ronaldo also took excellent free kicks back then.
Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and whispered: "I will take the penalty on this ball, you cover it."
Modric said simply: "Okay."
Ronaldo's face was expressionless and he was breathing slightly. No one could see clearly what he was thinking.
The referee blew the whistle and Ronaldo and Modric started running at the same time. Modric ran a little faster and Ronaldo ran a little slower.
Liccardo's words echoed in his mind.
"I want to play football with you, Dadado."
I actually love playing football with you, man. But I am already old and can no longer play. This season, I only scored 13 goals.
Modric stepped over the ball and continued running without missing a beat. Ronaldo ran to the ball and lifted his leg.
"Let's win this championship first."
Then let’s win this championship first. You must understand, Ricardo, although I am old, I am still very trustworthy.
Swing your legs.
The football flew up with grass roots and soil, quickly crossed the wall, and drew a beautiful arc, as bright as a rainbow.
The other end of the rainbow is connected to the net.
Hart fought hard to save, but was out of reach.
His saving action became the best background to set off Ronaldo's wonderful free kick.
"Ronaldo Goalllll! The football king is still young! In such a crucial game, he opened the scoring for QPR!"
Ronaldo kissed his fingers, then pointed his fingers to the sky and happily ran on the court.
Dude, did you see that?
This is what I want to leave to the world, a beautiful back image.
If I retire after this game, I won't regret it.
Liccardo was off the court, applauding while receiving treatment from the team doctor.
Simeone punched excitedly and waved his fist at Mancini in a demonstration.
Mancini smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He couldn't find anyone to blame for such a conceding goal.
If you really want to blame anyone, it would be Barry's foul on Ricardo. But if Barry hadn't committed a foul at that moment, Liccardo would have been in the penalty area. And Ricardo, who rode alone into the penalty area... was almost a goal.
So this is an unsolvable question.
Before Manchester City could kick off again, Mancini made trumpets with his hands and shouted to the court: "Attack! Attack me and get the score back!"
There is no point in seeking stability anymore. Now, all we can do is make a desperate move! Manchester City must score 2 more goals to win the championship!
The game continues. In the 26th minute, Nasri broke through Ricardo and passed to the edge of the penalty area. Thiago Motta pulled Aguero down when he returned to defense, giving Manchester City a perfectly positioned free kick.
However, Manchester City failed to seize this opportunity, and David Silva's shot hit the wall.
2 minutes later, Yaya Toure rushed in with the ball, faked a shot and passed the ball to Tevez. Tevez immediately played a one-two with Silva, but when Tevez received the ball again, he took a shot. At that time, Vertonghen had already defended well and blocked the ball.
In the 33rd minute, Silva passed Ricardo and cut inside, passing the ball into the penalty area. Nasri shot without suppressing it and knocked the ball away.
Watching Manchester City's series of attacks, Simeone didn't pay attention.
It is almost impossible to completely contain Manchester City's offense, as long as the defense can remain stable and not give the opponent too many opportunities.
Manchester City's aggressive pressure was exactly what he wanted. In this way, QPR can counterattack comfortably, why not?
When it comes to counterattacks, QPR has never been afraid of anyone.
But something unexpected happened to Simeone.
