Young Football Player

Jackie Lee called Kate Lee when he returned to Dundee, and the two quickly reached an agreement that she would go to Glasgow in two days to sign Andrew Robertson, and then arrange for him to try out for a professional team.

Kate Lee is a smart person. Based on Jackie Chan's current performance, it is conservatively estimated that she can become a small star in the future. Then she can get a higher income than the job she is doing now as long as she acts as a good agent for Jackie Chan. Also easier.

So she is already preparing for the transfer to a professional agent. It doesn't matter if she signs more players, and it doesn't matter if she can't play. She just needs to handle Li Chenglong's management affairs well. It has great potential, and it is earned for nothing.

Of course, with the current relationship network of the new agent Kate Lee, she can only arrange for Robertson to try out, and she can only come to Dundee United, and she has no connection with other teams at all.

On November 24th, the matchday of the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Glasgow Rangers, which has received much attention in Scottish football, played against Manchester United at home.

The Rangers are already working very hard at home, but there is still a gap in strength.

Manchester United relied on Rooney's penalty kick in the 85th minute to win the England derby 1-0.

Since Valencia won another game in the group, after the Rangers lost the game, they declared that they had completely missed the Champions League knockout rounds this season.

The hope of the Scottish Football Association to help the Scottish League regain its European ranking by allowing the Rangers to reach the Champions League knockout rounds has also been declared shattered.

But fortunately, Rangers still locked in the third position in the group, and they can continue to participate in the UEFA Cup knockout rounds, and there is still a chance to recover the European rankings.

On November 27th, in the 15th round of the Scottish Premier League, Dundee United's game was postponed, so they rested at home for this round.

After the last round of Dundee United's away draw with the Celtics, among Dundee United's competitors, only Motherwell scored 1 point in the same draw, and all other competitors scored 3 points, so Deng The ranking of Dilian has been surpassed by Inverness and dropped to the 6th position in the league standings.

Motherwell seems to be in poor form recently, losing points consecutively. In the last round, they were tied by the relegation team St. Mirren.

In this round, Dundee United took a break, and among the competitors, in the direct collision between Hearts and Motherwell, Motherwell, who was in poor form, lost 1:2 at home to Hearts, while Inverness It was a 2:2 draw with the Celtics away.

Therefore, in the current standings, Hearts occupies 3rd place with 29 points, Inverness ranks 4th with 25 points, Dundee United and Motherwell both have 23 points, and Dundee United is ranked 4th with 25 points. Ranked 6th due to ball disadvantage.

At the beginning of the season, they lost two 0:4 games, which caused Dundee United to always suffer in terms of goal difference calculation.

Although Dundee United lost one round, the situation has become less favorable.

Of course, it refers to if Dundee United wants to fight for a European qualification.

Due to the decline in the ranking in the European War, only the champion of the Scottish Super League this season can qualify for the Champions League, and the second, third and FA Cup winners can qualify for the UEFA Cup.

If the FA Cup champion has already qualified for the European War through the league ranking, the place will be given priority to the fourth place in the league.

In fact, UEFA's regulations gave priority to the cup runner-up in the past, but after the restructuring last season, it was no longer given to the cup runner-up, but to the highest-ranked team in the league that did not qualify for the European War.

So based on this calculation, if Dundee United wants to qualify for the European War, they must either win the FA Cup or win the top three in the league.

If the FA Cup championship is won by a team that has already qualified for the European War, then fourth place in the league is also possible.

But if you want to be on the safe side, it's best to be in the top three.

But Dundee is now a whopping six points behind third-placed Hearts,

Although Dundee United lost one round, the situation is not very friendly.

It should be said that it was quite unfriendly, because in the make-up round of Dundee United, the opponent was Glasgow Rangers. It is hard to say whether they can get points.

So Li Chenglong also vaguely knew that the coaching staff was already making arrangements to prepare for the FA Cup.

To qualify for the European War, Dundee United must make two preparations.

Since that transfer sent Jackie Lee to Dundee, Kate Lee is finally in Dundee again.

Her agent seems a little unqualified.

"I've already met that kid, and he signed an agency contract with me, but he won't come to Dundee United for trial training until after the end of this season." Kate Lee said, taking a sip of the tea on the table.

Regarding the signing of Robertson, Li Chenglong had already guessed that there would be no major problems.

Just because Kate Lee has a relationship with Dundee United, there is a great chance to send him to the professional club Dundee United, which is a huge attraction for Robertson.

After all, it can be seen from Robertson's status on Twitter that he has probably been cold-eyed for his failures in these years, and he is very eager to prove himself.

The other party didn't have an agent yet, and even if they had an agent, they would probably kick out the original agent and sign a contract with Kate Lee.

As for having to wait until the end of the season to come to the trial training, this is still a rule specially formulated by the Football Association of the Soviet Union for Queen's Park.

In other European leagues, amateur players like Robertson who have not signed a professional contract can sign with a professional team for free at any time as long as a professional team looks at him.

This is the highest regulation in Scotland, but this regulation will make amateur teams very hurt, especially Queen's Park, a well-respected amateur team in Scotland.

This kind of situation often happened in Queen's Park before. At the beginning of the season, there were more than 20 full-time players. Players have signed with professional teams.

Therefore, the Football Association of the Soviet Union has made special regulations. Even if it is an amateur player of an amateur team, if they want to leave, they must finish playing for one season before leaving, so as to protect the amateur team of Queen's Park.

"Bruce, here is good news about you." Kate Lee said.

"What good news?" Before Li Chenglong could ask, Old John came over and asked.

"People from Nike's European branch contacted me two days ago, and they seem to be interested in you." Kate Lee continued to say to Jackie Lee.

"This is good news. With Bruce's performance, it will be a matter of time before he gets the attention of sports sponsors." Old John seemed not to care about this, and continued: "Nike was originally our club's jersey sponsor. It took so long to contact you, and their response is really slow."

Jackie Chan and Kate Lee were a little speechless. Old John always acted like I was very good, and my whole family was very good. It was a bit of a two.

In fact, Li Chenglong's current performance is at most a new star in the Scottish Premier League. Nike can pay attention to him so early, mostly because they are the jersey sponsor of Dundee United, so they are close to the water.

As far as the current European football is concerned, Li Chenglong's reputation is slightly better than the unknown, infinitely close to the unknown.

Although Nike has paid attention to him, it probably has no intention of signing him in a short time.

"Let me tell you a really good news. I'm going to retire after this year." Old John raised his voice and said while throwing the newspaper he was reading into the air, raising his hands high Pointing in the air, like a goal celebration on the pitch.

"Why so fast?" Li Chenglong and Kate Lee asked almost in unison.

Old John is only 61 years old this year, and it stands to reason that he can still work for a few more years.

"Don't you guys congratulate me? I can do whatever I want in the future." Old John "celebrated" for a while before continuing: "It was my knee that was injured. I am comfortable, and the management of the stadium is getting more and more difficult, so I take the initiative to apply for early retirement and take a good rest."

Old John's tone was quite relaxed, as if this was really a very happy thing, but Li Chenglong felt a little sad.

In the football world, there are always only a few stars, and they are an extremely small part. Most of them are like Old John. They form the bottom of the football world.

When they were young, they were also full of confidence and ambition, thinking that they would be no worse than anyone else, but they still failed to achieve the height they wanted. They just barely relied on football for a living, and they might even suffer from injuries. Even when you are old, you have to suffer.

So in many cases, they like to pin their hopes on their descendants, hoping that their descendants can realize their long-cherished wishes that they failed to fulfill back then.

"Congratulations, old John!" Li Chenglong went up to give the other party a hug, congratulating him sincerely.
