Young Football Player

Chapter 17 The New Brand Derby (2)

The formation used by Dundee United is the most traditional and favorite 442 formation in British football.

The 442 formation is indeed very common in the British Isles. Many British coaches like to use it. Among them, Ferguson of Manchester United is the most. He has used the 442 formation for almost his entire coaching career.

Li Chenglong is still sitting on the bench in this game. The team's starting right midfielder is Mogalo Gomis from Senegal. He is a very fast black player. He was the main force of the team last season.

The Derby is really a different game. Dundee United, whose morale was low due to consecutive losses, knocked on the door of Aberdeen in just 3 minutes amidst the fierce cheers of the home fans.

However, this state of Dundee United could not be sustained. There were two chances in the next half of the first half and they failed to grasp it. Instead, Aberdeen relied on a corner kick in stoppage time in the first half. , A header scored to equalize the score, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

The final score of the two teams in the first half was 1:1, a fairly fair score.

During the intermission, Li Chenglong saw that the head coach Peter Houston was a little listless, and he was also absent-minded about team adjustment and tactical arrangements.

At this moment, Li Chenglong even felt that this guy has given up?

This guy's mental attributes are definitely not high, and he was hit just because of a stoppage time equalizer. How did he become the head coach?

Do you want to think about the team's new coach?

※※※

Intermission is over and the second half begins.

"At present, Dundee United has no intention of making adjustments for the time being, but we have seen that Aberdeen is already making preparations for substitutions. They seem to be very dissatisfied with the score. The second half started less than 5 minutes later. There is an adjustment to be made."

In the 50th minute, the visiting team Aberdeen took the lead in making a substitution, replacing a striker with a midfielder. Obviously, Aberdeen thinks the score of 1:1 is not what they want at all.

"Shh~~~"

This substitution made the Tanatis Park Stadium resound with boos, and I don’t know if it was for the visiting team Aberdeen or the home team coach Peter Houston. Anyway, Jackie Lee heard a lot of insults to Houston. .

"Bruce, Stuart, you two go warm up." The coaching staff probably couldn't stand it anymore, assistant coach Toby Harrison came over and asked the two to warm up, but he didn't know whether Houston believed in the two young players, or simply Treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Jackie Lee got up and went for a jog to warm up. While running, he said to Armstrong: "Hey, Brother Moon, do you believe it, the two of us can reverse the situation?"

"Why do you call me Brother Moon?" Armstrong completely missed the point of the topic. It seemed that Jackie Chan called him more interesting.

"Among you people with the surname Armstrong, who is the most famous?" Li Chenglong asked rhetorically.

"You mean Neil Armstrong?"

"Yes, that's him. The reason why he is so famous is because he was the first to land on the moon. When most people see the surname Armstrong, they first think of landing on the moon and the moon, so..."

"Well, you're right, but the title Brother Moon is pretty cool..."

In the 58th minute, Dundee United also made a substitution adjustment. Li Chenglong came on to replace the Senegalese Mogalo Gomis. This was a counter-substitution.

Moon Brother Armstrong came on the field and replaced the team's midfielder Ghanaian Prince Buapong. This substitution was more active, because Moon Brother was born as a midfielder and was more aggressive than the Ghanaian.

As soon as Li Chenglong came on the stage, his opponent seemed to want to give him a blow.

"Soft-footed shrimp, I will let you feel the hardness of professional football later." Aberdeen's left-back Northern Irishman McArdle directly spat trash talk at Li Chenglong.

It is indeed good to become famous by one goal, but there is also a price. Like the Scottish League, it is difficult for a few players to get attention in the Premier League in a season. Lee Chenglong is famous for one goal against Liverpool, and it is easy to attract envy. Moreover, he also has obvious weaknesses, making him an easy target for attack.

In the 61st minute, when Li Chenglong received a pass from his teammate for the first time, McArdle slammed into him, but Li Chenglong passed the ball back before being knocked down by the opponent. The referee didn't hesitate and called a foul.

Li Chenglong patted his buttocks and got up, and said to McCardle beside him: "Hey, buddies, I have already felt that the hardest part of your whole body must be your mouth."

During the recent period, Li Chenglong has been adapting to physical confrontation. Although his physical confrontation is indeed still at a disadvantage, it is much better than before.

But it's all good, Li Chenglong will not foolishly go to the other party again and again, and it is when the other party is obviously irritated by his trash talk.

The Northern Irishman was a bit over the top, and kept trying to trouble Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong didn't want to be injured by this guy, so he had to avoid the edge for a while and started to lean towards the middle.

Then, the opportunity came like this.

In the 74th minute, Dundee United made a long pass from the backcourt to the front line to find an opportunity. High center Daley failed to grab the point, but the ball was pointed back to the middle of the front of the penalty area under the scramble. Li Chenglong just ran to this position , just got the ball.

"Bruce Lee, this 17-year-old has a keen sense of smell. He ran to the penalty area nimbly and grabbed the second spot."

When he got the ball, Li Chenglong didn't hesitate at all, and directly slashed the ball straight to the other side of the penalty area.

When leaning towards the middle, Li Chenglong saw that Yue Yue was actively advancing into the penalty area. This time he pushed the ball in, which was definitely a deadly threat.

"Beautiful~~~ Li's through ball, the opportunity has come!!"

"Armstrong~~~ He ran to the position, a very beautiful one-handed opportunity!!"

Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Brother Moon did not waste this opportunity. He single-handedly faced the goalkeeper and pushed the far corner. The football rolled into the gate of Aberdeen for the second time.

"Oh~~~Good job~~~ Stuart!!"

"Get rid of the Aberdeen people!!"

Huge cheers resounded in the stadium, and Dundee United once again took the lead with this goal.

Armstrong and others were celebrating wildly, but Li Chenglong ran to the coach's bench and was immediately embraced by Peter Huston, whose face was flushed with excitement.

"Nice job Bruce, that through ball was great!"

Looking at the bloodshot eyes of the other party, Li Chenglong felt that although this guy's coaching level is not good, he is still dedicated. He really wants to do this job well, but his ability is really not enough.

The reason why Li Chenglong came here is because he knew the meaning of the goal just now. It may be a goal related to the life and death of Houston. No matter what he said, he got the opportunity under his hands. He is indeed the first in his career. a coach.

After the celebration, Jackie Lee returned to the court, and Brother Moon finally came over to thank him.

"Kung fu boy, that pass just now was beautiful."

Without the other party's explanation, Li Chenglong understood what he meant by calling himself Kung Fu Boy. Obviously, he had the same name as the famous Kung Fu superstar Li Xiaolong.

Li Chenglong is also very happy, not only to help the team exceed the score, but also because it was the first time in his career that he sent an assist just now.

Originally thought that he had the talent card of fast horse from the side, and his level of crossing from the side was also well practiced. Li Chenglong felt that his first assist would probably be sent in the form of a cross from the side. Assisted by a through ball in the middle.
