Chapter 606 I Want to Bring You Many, Many Championships
It is certainly great news to win the Derby and climb to the top of the standings with 2 rounds left before the end of the league.
If it weren't for the thought that the team might still win the championship and there would be a chance to celebrate then, QPR fans would really want to march on the streets right now.
There is no way, my ancestors have never been generous, this surprise is too big, I don't know how to vent it.
Fans of those wealthy clubs, even if the team they support falls into a trough, they can still look back on their past glory as spiritual food.
For example, if AC Milan fans play a football game and form a team, they can bring out the Dutch Three Musketeers, Baresi, etc. to show off. Inter Milan fans can pull out the triumvirate of Ronaldo, Adriano, Liccardo and Germany to show off.
Although the team is now in decline and has become the Milan Bears, at least the ancestors are still rich.
What can QPR have? It has never won a top league championship in history, and has never played in the Champions League. When the team's most famous historical star is shown to others, they will see Stan Bowes, Mark Bochen, Zamora, and others. Who are you thinking of? Is it a movie star?
It is such a team with only history but no foundation. Now it has reached the FA Cup final and ranks first in the league.
This was all brought to them by Liccardo.
In the past few days, QPR fans have been gathering in bars almost every day, discussing whether the team can defeat Liverpool in the FA Cup final and successfully reach the top.
QPR has only reached the FA Cup final once in its history, and that was exactly 30 years ago, in the 1981-1982 season. Many senior QPR fans still remember the events of that year. QPR and Tottenham were inseparable, and the battle ended at 1:1. In the rematch, they lost 0:1, and ultimately lost the opportunity to win the FA Cup for the first time.
And this year, can Ricardo help them realize their dreams?
Many fans said that if Liccardo can bring them an FA Cup championship and a league championship, they will support Liccardo's campaign for mayor of London.
When the reporter interviewed Ricardo, he also told this as an anecdote and asked Ricardo what he thought. Liccardo smiled and said: "I will play here, probably retire here, and may coach here in the future. I think I should be able to bring 10 FA Cup champions and 10 league titles to QPR. Trophies, plus a couple of Champions League titles. I wonder if QPR fans will vote for me to be Prime Minister at that time?"
"This year, I will lead the team to win the first FA Cup championship and the first league championship. Please wait and see!"
After hearing these words, Gerrard also expressed his views: "Ricardo is the best player in the world today. Under his leadership, QPR has undergone radical changes. In my opinion, they are not They are dark horses, but they do have the strength to win the championship. Their ability to enter the FA Cup final and rank first in the league does not depend on luck. I believe they can also make a difference by entering the Champions League next season."
"However," he changed the topic, "we are also determined to win the FA Cup. If we lose this championship, we will really get nothing this season. Liccardo cannot understand our desire for this championship. We will give our best. Two hundred percent, striving for the championship.”
Liccardo responded: "I have great respect for Gerrard, but I think he underestimated our enthusiasm for the championship. QPR have never won the top league title and the FA Cup in history, and we will do whatever it takes to win it." Make history."
On the evening of May 2, Wembley Stadium was clearly distinguishable between blue, white and red.
Compared to the familiar Liverpool fans, QPR fans are full of freshness. Many of them are sitting here supporting their home team for the first time in their lives.
The show just ended,
Before the game even started, Ricardo's song was flying above the stadium, complementing "Youneverwalkalone".
"Never fight with the Liverpool people," Simeone joked in the locker room, "because they never walk alone. If you fight one, you will find that there are more in front of you."
The players roared with laughter.
"Okay, save the laughter for now, and then laugh as much as you want after we win the championship. Now let me say a few words..." Simeone made the final arrangements.
Although QPR has reached the FA Cup final for the first time in 30 years, most of these players have seen the world and are not nervous.
Like Maicon, Rico and Thiago Motta, they won the Serie A championship and the Italian Cup championship with ease.
Vertonghen and Alderweireld are also dominant players in the Eredivisie.
Not to mention Ricardo, who has already won four Champions League trophies before he turned 26, won the league championship and cup championship, and is proud of the rest.
Such a team does not lack experience in competitions. After a season of running in, they are at their highest combat effectiveness and highest morale.
When they walked into the tunnel with their heads held high, even the experienced and fearless Liverpool players felt a pressure coming on them.
Tonight is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers.
This is the 131st FA Cup final. QPR has reached the final for the second time in history, while Liverpool has 14 times. The two sides are not on the same level.
Both teams have the chance to become double champions. QPR may win the league championship, while Liverpool has already won the League Cup.
The formations of both sides are very similar. Liverpool has a 4231 formation, with Suarez as the single forward, followed by Downing, Gerrard and Bellamy, and Henderson and Spearing as double midfielders. On the back line, Skrtel and Agger partnered as central defenders, Enrique was on the left, Glen Johnson was on the right, and the goalkeeper was Reina.
QPR's formation has changed slightly today, from 4123 to 4231. The defenders are Alex Sandro, who is starting for QPR for the first time, Van Dijk and Gary Cahill, Kyle Walker, and double midfielders. It's Fernandinho and Thiago Motta, Ricardo on the left, Arda Turan on the right, attacking midfielder Modric, and lone forward Klose.
Fernandinho has played a lot as a rotation player in the past half of the season and performed very well. It can be said that without him, it would be difficult for QPR to be in its current position.
He had been injured for several games before and had only recently returned. Today he partnered with Thiago Motta as a defensive midfielder, asking him to intercept and freeze Gerrard, while Thiago Motta was responsible for organization.
After picking the side, QPR kicked off first.
In the first attack organized, QPR formed a shot. They launched the attack from the right and then passed the ball to Modric. Modric then moved to the left. Liccardo singled out Glen Johnson to win and broke through to Taking a shot from the edge of the penalty area, Reina was very focused and lifted the ball over the crossbar.
"What a show of force!" the commentator said, "Looking at Ricardo's state today, it may be difficult for Liverpool to escape from Wembley."
