Chapter 83: The First Battle of the Stealth Ranking

In the fifth round of the Europa League group stage, Dundee United successfully qualified for the group stage after winning Odense 2-0 away.

In other matches of the same round, the Celtics lost 0:1 to Atletico Madrid at home, but fortunately Udinese also failed to win. The Celtics still have a chance. If they go to the last round They defeated Wuji in an away game, and they can also advance to the knockout round.

In the Swiss League, Zurich only scored 2 points in the five rounds of the group stage and was eliminated early.

However, Basel in the Champions League has another chance to advance to the Champions League knockout round after winning the Romanian team Galati Steel in an away game.

As long as Basel can win at home in the last round of the group stage, they can advance to the knockout rounds of this season's Champions League.

If Basel really advances to the Champions League knockout round, this is definitely not good news for the Scottish League.

However, considering that Basel's opponent in the last round is the Premier League giants Manchester United, the Scottish media told fans not to worry, it is absolutely impossible for Manchester United to overturn in an away game.

Manchester United has not yet qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stage. In the last round of the away game in Switzerland, they can qualify as long as they draw. It is basically impossible for Basel to win.

Returning to Scotland from Denmark, the Dundee United team was warmly welcomed by the fans.

Reaching the Europa League knockout stage is definitely a supreme honor for Dundee United, which has been waiting to die for more than 20 years.

But the Dundee United team has no time to be happy, because everyone is about to prepare for the weekend league.

But while preparing for the league, Li Chenglong took his teammates to the barber shop.

It's not a group haircut, but everyone goes with Vardy to get a haircut together.

Vardy used to be an independent character, and the whole team said that they would shave their heads as a punishment if they didn't make it to the knockout rounds, but he said that they had to shave their heads to celebrate when they made it to the knockout rounds.

Now that the conditions are met, everyone will naturally accompany him to realize his wish.

Half an hour later, a freshly baked big bald head appeared in front of everyone.

Not to mention, Vardy has a big shaved head, and to match his head shape, he really looks like Brother Qiang.

Uh, bald and strong.

On December 4th, in the 17th round of the Scottish Super League, Dundee United played against the Celtics at home.

At present, Celtic ranks second with 35 points, and Dundee United ranks third with 33 points. Although there is a Ranger at the top, everyone doesn't take him seriously.

Because the financial problems cannot be resolved, no matter how many points the Rangers get, it is useless, and in the end they have to obediently go bankrupt and be relegated.

Therefore, who will win the league title this season, at present, the Celtics and Dundee United have the best chances.

Of course, Motherwell also has a chance, but a much smaller one.

Since it is Dundee United and the Celtics competing for the championship, the direct confrontation between the two teams is very important, whether it is Dundee United defeating the Celtics and rising to second place, or the Celtics are undefeated Continuing to maintain the second place is equivalent to occupying an "invisible top spot".

Before the game started, the fans at Thanatis Park had created a strong atmosphere for the battle.

The biggest slogan in the stands is - "We are the best team in Scotland!"

At present, Dundee United has entered the Europa League knockout round, but the Celtics still need to wait for the last round to go to the away game. In this regard alone, Dundee United is indeed better than the Celtics.

In this game, Dundee United's previously injured Barry Douglas and Stuart Armstrong returned from injury to start the team, which is considered a positive for Dundee United.

So Dundee United's starting lineup returned to the strongest 442 formation,

Goalkeeper: Pernis;

Guards: Barry Douglas, Paul Dixon, Gary Kenneth, Keith Watson;

Midfielders: Craig Conway, David Robertson, Stuart Armstrong, Jackie Lee;

Forwards: Vardy, Joan Daly.

At the beginning of the game, when Lee Chenglong took the ball for the first time, he was knocked to the ground by a big shiny bald head. The other party looked back at him and walked away in a bad manner.

"Who is that bald man? Do you have a grudge against him?" Vardy, another big bald man on the court, came to pull Li Chenglong up, and stared at his back solemnly.

Vardy felt that he had been seriously provoked. Labor and management just cut off their bald heads yesterday. If they met such a guy immediately, they might have to compete.

"No grudges, but he's defending me today." Li Chenglong patted his pants and said indifferently.

The bald head just now was the Celtics Korean full-back Cha Doo-ri.

Cha Du-ri is the son of Cha Bum-geun, the No. 1 player in Korean football. He grew up in Europe, but he obviously failed to inherit too much talent from his father. This kind of league, but has not been able to play well.

He joined the Celtics last season, but last season he spent most of his time recuperating from injuries, and now is the first time he has encountered Lee Chenglong on the court.

Li Chenglong thought about it carefully, he really has nothing to do with this guy, what did he mean just now?

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chenglong could only attribute it to the fact that the other party was jealous, jealous of his own talent.

I heard that Cha Doo-ri, with a big bald head, also played as a striker when he was young, and he was also very famous in the youth team of the German club, because he has a well-trained body (brute force) at a young age, and he is very good at scoring goals.

But this is of no use. In Europe, there are many "genius" forwards who averaged two or three goals per game in the youth team, but they are also useless in the adult team.

After becoming an adult, Cha Duli not only failed to play, but was also considered to be insufficient in offensive talent, and was slowly transformed into a full-back.

In this game, he was assigned to defend Li Chenglong.

At the beginning of the game, Cha Duli gave him a big blow. As the game continued, Li Chenglong found that the Celtics really valued him.

They not only arranged for Cha Duli to defend, but also arranged for Nigerian midfielder Victor Wanyama to supplement the defense at any time. They have considerable respect for Li Chenglong.

Originally, Cha Duli's bald head was very annoying, and his defense was not necessarily very good, but this game was like taking a stimulant, all kinds of stalking and fighting, he followed Lee Chenglong wherever he went Where, it is quite uncomfortable.

And Wanyama is a typical black and hard midfielder. This game is very active in defending, and it seems that he has spotted Li Chenglong.

Under the attack of the two phases, Li Chenglong's performance was much quieter than usual.

In the case of Li Chenglong's slight silence, the Celtics really took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

In the 43rd minute, the opponent's Greek forward Samaras broke through Keith Watson from the wing and then made a cross. Gary Hooper in the center received the ball and shook Paul Dixon to hit the goal. The Celtics won took the lead in the score.

During the intermission, Jackie Lee took the initiative to ask: "Craig, how about you switch to the right in the second half?"

Li Chenglong wants to try to switch to the left to see if he can find some opportunities more easily.

"Okay, no problem." Conway agreed very simply.
