Chapter 627 Header Relay
Ricardo shrugged without much emotion.
It is normal to be equalized by Barcelona. If QPR could seal Barcelona, Ricardo himself would not believe it and would even say "This is a fake Barcelona".
As it is now, it's pretty good.
In the brutal knockout rounds, Barcelona, a giant that has reached the semifinals of the Champions League for six consecutive seasons, will test its quality.
Is QPR real gold?
It is real gold and is not afraid of fire!
After the restart, QPR continued to attack.
In the 42nd minute, Alves sent a precise pass. Messi took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, turned and passed Alex Sandro, took two steps horizontally, and suddenly shot into the far corner with his left foot.
"珰!"
The football hit the crossbar and bounced into the field. Miranda, who was stunned, used his big foot to clear the ball.
Messi stood there, bending over and rubbing his thighs, with a look of pain on his face.
he got hurt?
The final minutes of the first half were spent in Barcelona's possession.
After the referee blows the whistle, the players from both sides walk to the tunnel. Ricardo was side by side with Messi. The latter was limping. Ricardo reached out to support him: "Are you injured?"
Messi nodded, looking a little sad.
"Can we still play in the second half?"
"have no idea."
Liccardo also fell silent.
In the locker room, Simeone said calmly: "I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half and the current score. Through the first half, you can also see that there is still a little gap between us and Barcelona in terms of strength. "
"But we used tactics and discipline to make up for this gap, and I'm proud of you. I hope we can continue to stick to our style of play in the second half. Regardless of whether we advance or not, I hope that after these two rounds, the entire Our name is spoken all over Europe: this is a strong team that can push Barcelona to the edge!"
After Simeone finished laying out his tactics for the second half, Liccardo continued to lecture.
"Is it fun to fight against Team Universe?" Liccardo asked with a smile.
"Enjoyed!" the young players laughed.
"As long as you find it enjoyable. In the second half, let's work harder and try to knock them down, okay?"
"good!"
"This is a strong opponent. I don't know what the final outcome will be, and I don't care. Our task this season has basically been completed. We have done well enough to enter the Champions League quarter-finals. So I will not ask for it. You defeat your opponents for honor or prize money."
Having said this, Ricardo paused, looked around the audience, and said loudly: "My brothers, I just hope to join you to tell those proud Barcelona people how great we are!"
"No matter what the final result of the game is, I hope that in the future, when Barcelona meets us again in the Champions League draw, they will say: 'Oh my God, we met the opponent we least wanted to meet'!"
"Would you like to do this with me?"
"Yes, yes!"
Even Ronaldo was waving his arms and shouting.
"Ouch~~~~~~~~~~~" Ricardo looked up to the sky and roared, stretched out his right fist and hit his chest, like an angry gorilla, although this gorilla was very handsome, "Let's go, go Kill them!"
At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Messi was sitting sadly, and the other Barcelona players were also a little absent-minded.
After the team doctor checked Messi again, he still shook his head.
Guardiola sighed, "Francisco (Fabregas), get ready to play."
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona made its first substitution adjustment. Under Messi, Fabregas comes on as a substitute!
In the second half, QPR still spared no effort to compete with Barcelona in every corner of the stadium. After winning the ball, they also boldly controlled the ball in front of Barcelona.
Although QPR's skills are still slightly inferior to Barcelona's peak team, they are younger and more physically capable.
Morale is also higher. So much so that within the first 15 minutes of the second half, they had a certain advantage.
However, it is not so easy to turn advantages into victory.
After Messi came off the field, Barcelona obviously strengthened its defense. It seemed that Guardiola was content to get a draw and an away goal on the road.
QPR were not impatient and everyone kept Liccardo's words in mind.
The ultimate goal of this game is not only to win, but also to leave an unforgettable lesson to the Barcelona people!
After entering the 60th minute, due to the decline in physical fitness of QPR players, Barcelona gained more opportunities.
In the 61st minute, Alves sent a low pass after receiving Xavi's transfer ball. The ball came to the back point. Sanchez stopped the ball and finally managed to shoot, and the ball hit the side net.
One minute later, Fabregas sent a diagonal pass. Sanchez shot directly in the penalty area without stopping. The football was firmly held by Handanovic.
On the QPR side, although they created several opportunities through possession of the ball, as Ricardo continued to retreat to assist in the organization, Neymar and Ronaldo in the frontcourt failed to seize the opportunity.
In the 69th minute, Ricardo's direct free kick hit the outside of the post, which made the Barcelona people really feel the threat.
In the 71st minute, after Nainggolan cooperated with Pogba in the midfield, he suddenly sent a diagonal pass. Neymar inserted into the penalty area to receive the ball. He continuously picked the ball in the small space and then passed the ball to the back point. Alex Sandro received the assist and then dunked Busquets' shot from a small angle. Valdes concentrated on blocking the ball.
Seeing the home team continuously creating murderous opportunities, QPR fans cheered even more energetically.
In the 75th minute, Neymar took a free kick into the penalty area. Pogba headed the ball towards the goal. The ball hit Busquets' shoulder, then deflected and hit the crossbar and went out of the baseline.
A great sigh echoed above the stadium. In a short period of time, QPR hit the goalpost twice, and the fans could only lament the team's poor luck.
Then in the 79th minute...
Neymar got the ball at the baseline, and when he tried to break through inside, the ball was destroyed and went out of the baseline.
Neymar took the corner kick himself. He observed it and drove the ball to the center. Miranda jumped high and headed the ball. However, he did not head the ball toward the goal. Instead, he shook his head and rubbed the ball backwards.
Ricardo, who was lying in ambush at the back point, suddenly accelerated and leaped forward to complete the header relay.
After all, Valdez did not cheat and was unable to save Ricardo's close attack. The football hit the net and spun happily after landing.
"Liccardo Goallllll! He scored his 98th Champions League goal. This is also his 10th Champions League goal this season!"
"This is a very crucial goal. With little game time left, QPR took the lead again!"
"I have to say that QPR's fighting power in this game is impressive. They don't look like a new Champions League team at all! They are growing rapidly!"
