2012-2013 QPR1 First Team Squad
At the end of the year, the most exciting event in football is the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Although 2o2 is the year of the European Cup, it stands to reason that the Golden Globe winner will be selected from the European Cup champion and runner-up teams, but this year's champion Spain and runner-up Italy do not have very convincing stars to shine.
The final list of three players for the Ballon d'Or is still Ricardo, Messi and Ronaldo.
The media joked that the Golden Globe Awards have been monopolized by these three people. The duration of this monopoly is likely to be more than 0 years.
The end result was not much of a surprise.
Although Messi scored 50 league goals in the past season, Barcelona failed to score any, which lowered his evaluation.
Although Real Madrid won the league with 00 points, Ronaldo's performance was not as outstanding as Messi, and Real Madrid did nothing in the Champions League.
Ricardo once again set a new record for England's single-season goals with 44 goals, and also led the newly promoted team to win the double championship. Such results made the whole of Europe marvel.
So the winner of the 2o2 Golden Globe Award naturally became Ricardo.
Entering 2o3, qr's first game was the Derby.
They challenge Chelsea away from home.
The game played at Stamford Bridge on the evening of March 2 was a hot one. Both sides received a total of 2 yellow cards and 3 red cards. Terry, Fernandinho and Maicon were sent off one after another. qr had to score 9 points in the away game. Doze.
But in the 79th minute, qr took the lead.
At that time, Neymar switched to the left, used some skillful tricks to trick Ivanovic and then broke into the penalty area. Facing the tall central defender, he chose to go down, get out of the space and pass the ball to the goal.
Liccardo faced the goal sideways, tapped the ball with his left foot, and swept the ball into the net.
This late goal devastated the Chelsea people. In the last ten minutes of the game, qr completely controlled the rhythm with skillful ball control and did not give the Blues any chance.
The performance of the young player Hazard was very outstanding. He caused Maicon's red card, but then Walker, who came on as a substitute, froze him.
The "battle between the two top young wingers in England" that was hyped by the media before the game ended with Neymar's victory.
The victory in this derby battle made qr full of confidence.
In the first round of the subsequent English League Cup semi-finals, Simeone used a mix of main players and substitutes. qr defeated Aston Villa at home 4: One foot has entered the final.
Returning to the league, in the 22nd round, England defeated Tottenham 2:0 at home.
In the 23rd round of the English match, qr challenged West Ham United away from home. In the first half, Neymar scored first, but West Ham United tenaciously equalized the score in the 80th minute.
But then Liccardo stepped forward. In the 89th minute, he used a direct free kick to seal the victory for qr, which also gave qr their third consecutive league victory.
Then came the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals, where qr's youth team played away: o whisper Aston Villa.
Next is qr's appearance in the FA Cup. This is the 5th round of the FA Cup. qr plays at home against Milton Keynes.
qr, with all young players playing, fought hard to catch up after falling behind by 2 goals, and finally reversed the opponent 4:2 and won consecutive victories in all competitions.
Having accumulated so many victories, qr's morale is unprecedented. On the last day of the month, they welcomed Manchester City, currently ranked third in the league, at home.
Simeone did not seek stability in this game. The main players, who had rested for more than ten days, launched a fierce frontcourt battle, leaving Manchester City exhausted.
In the 7th minute, Ricardo sent a through ball for Ronaldo, who broke the deadlock.
Two minutes later, Modric's pass was sent into the bottom of Manchester City's net by Liccardo, giving QR a two-goal lead.
After entering the second half, Kompany took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to get a point back for Manchester City, but qr then entered the ball control mode, firmly grasped the rhythm of the game, and launched a fatal counterattack in the 77th minute. Neymar assisted Liccardo to score. The score was rewritten as 3:.
In the end, qr won the victory as expected and continued to cling to Manchester United in the standings with a 4-game winning streak in the league.
Since Manchester United drew with Tottenham in the 23rd round of the league, the two teams now have the same points, and qr only ranks second with a goal difference of 2.
Starting from late February, qr's schedule will become very intensive. For a period of time, they will have to fight on four fronts.
Of course, the FA Cup can be given up.
However, the EFL Cup has entered the final and there is no reason to give up.
As for the league and the Champions League, there is no giving up.
So Liccardo called the players for another meeting and reiterated the team's goals.
He also asked the team to score enough points in mid-to-early February so that they could not be distanced by Manchester United.
There is no room for error in the home game against Norwich in the 25th round and against Swansea in the second round.
Because right after that, February will be the FA Cup; February 20 will be the first round of the Champions League knockout round; February 23, they will face Manchester United at home; February 2, they will usher in the European Cup. League Cup final. These are tough battles and cannot be neglected.
qr's fortune was pretty good. Their opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League was not a strong opponent, but Galatasaray from Turkey. Among the eight second-place teams, their strength is only average.
Manchester United is more miserable. Their opponent is Real Madrid... In other words, Manchester United will first have a head-to-head match with Real Madrid away from home, and then challenge QR away from home.
For Manchester United, the schedule is even more unfavorable.
Liccardo very much hopes that the team can take this opportunity to defeat Manchester United and reach the top for the first time this season.
Of course, everything depends on the performance of the players.
On February 2nd, qr faced Norwich at home.
Norwich adopted a defensive posture. Except for one forward wandering in the midfield, the other 0 players were all huddled in their own penalty area.
Although qr kept possession of the ball, it was difficult to penetrate such a bus. After all, they are not Barcelona. They are still not as good as Barcelona in using possession of the ball to create gaps in the opponent's defense and then suddenly raising the ball.
However, after a stalemate for 8 minutes, qr finally took advantage of a set kick opportunity to score. This was a free kick created by Liccardo on the wing. Modric took the penalty and accurately found the top of Van Dijk's head. Van Dijk headed Attacking the goal gave qr a rare victory.
On February 9, qr challenged Swansea away from home.
I thought this was a hands-off game, but in just the first minute of the game, Michu hit Miranda's leg with a non-threatening shot and bounced into the goal. Courtois could only watch the ball and sigh.
QR stepped up its offensive, but in the 32nd minute, Swansea took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score another victory.
qr was forced into a desperate situation.
At times like these, there are always heroes who have to step forward.
It was Ricardo who set the example. In the stoppage time of the first half, he received a through ball from Pogba, suddenly started to shake off the player marking him, turned around with Cruyff near the baseline, and then pushed the ball from a small angle, and the football missed the far end. The post rolled into the net and qr got one point back.
In the second half, qr did not make any adjustments, but the players' condition gradually improved. In the 55th minute, Neymar switched positions to the left, stepped on his bicycle continuously and forced a breakthrough. Then he made an emergency stop and pushed the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Pogba adjusted after receiving the ball and volleyed hard into the far corner, hitting a A wonderful world wave equalized the score for qr.
Swansea's morale dropped, and qr bombarded the opponent's goal indiscriminately.
In the 79th minute, Vardy came on as a substitute. Just a minute after he came on, with his first touch of the ball, he received Modric's through ball and succeeded in countering offside. He shot low and reversed the corner, turning the score for QR.
In the 88th minute, Modric's corner kick was headed into Swansea's goal by Gary Cahill, leading qr 4:2.
Although the process was thrilling, the final solution was good.
However, Manchester United also won both games, and also got 3 goal differences. Currently, Manchester United and qr have the same points. Manchester United ranks in the standings with a slight advantage of 2 goal differences, and qr ranks second.
