Although Li Chenglong performed well in the first half, relying on dribbling to turn the opponent's defender around, but at the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was still 0:0.

During the intermission, Peter Houston specifically praised Jackie Lee's performance.

"Bruce, you did a good job in the first half. It seems that your recent extra practice is quite effective." Peter Houston took it for granted that Li Chenglong's dribbling was the result of recent extra practice.

"But you have to cooperate more with your teammates. Although you passed the opponent several times, we didn't score any goals."

"You should learn to turn the advantages created by your dribbling into goals. Either you dribble into the dangerous area to score the goal, or you tear the opponent's defense line by dribbling, and then transfer the ball to the right teammate. They go and score."

What Peter Houston said made Jackie Lee feel like that was the case. If he could only dribble the ball but couldn't help the team, wouldn't he become another Denilson?

And it's still a weakened version, because most of my dribbling is not as good as Denilson's.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Chenglong began to look for more scoring opportunities, whether it was scoring goals himself or creating opportunities for his teammates.

In the 49th minute, after Li Chenglong took the ball, he passed Chris Hogg again, but instead of continuing to advance along the wing, he changed to enter the penalty area from the rib position on the right. This sudden change made Yin Furness was a little caught off guard, but Li Chenglong managed to reach the small penalty area and hit the goal with his kick.

"Li~~~Beautiful breakthrough~~~Inverness is in danger!!!"

"Oh~~~Lee~~~ He hit the ball flying!!!"

When hitting the goal on the line of the small penalty area, Li Chenglong actually kicked the ball into the stands.

He himself was a little unbelievable, holding his head in his hands regretfully.

"It's okay, just keep playing like this!" Peter Houston on the sidelines was cheering for his players. He thought it was just an accident.

In the 56th minute, after Li Chenglong and Yue Yue passed and cooperated in front of the penalty area, they hoisted the ball into the penalty area. On the left side of the penalty area, Joan Daly headed the ball back to the middle, and Li Chenglong followed up and hit the goal.

Inverness did a good job defending. When Li Chenglong cut in the middle, he was followed by the opponent's defender.

Under the interference of the opponent's defender, Li Chenglong still completed the goal and pushed with his left foot as a last resort. But his push just made the ball hit the goal post, and then bounced back into the penalty area and was cleared.

"Li missed another chance. He showed off his dribbling skills today, but his shooting skills seem to be not as satisfactory."

Li Chenglong himself also felt that his shooting skills seemed really bad.

He used to play as a defensive midfielder, and he seldom trained in shooting skills. After coming to Dundee United, he was just doing the job of a simple wide player most of the time, and rarely went to the goal seriously. To finish the shot.

He has scored 4 goals for Dundee United this season, three of which were free kicks and one was a supplementary shot in front of the goal.

Li Chenglong suddenly remembered those football stars in his previous life who had a high level of running and dribbling skills, but forgot to shoot. Play happy football.

It doesn't matter whether you get in or not, anyway, I just shoot happily myself.

If this continues, Li Chenglong feels that he will also become a representative of happy football.

Although they wasted two chances in a row, Dundee United still had the upper hand on the pitch.

Jackie Lee's dribbling ability has indeed strengthened Dundee United's offensive firepower in the frontcourt.

In the 62nd minute, Dundee United finally scored.

Li Chenglong scrambled into the penalty area in the frontcourt for a while to find opportunities, and then returned to the side to do the work of making a pass from the bottom.

Make opponents hard to guard against.

This time he went back to the right, went down smoothly, and passed a high-quality high ball. The ball flew directly to the top of Joan Daly's head, the highest point in the penalty area.

Joan Daly scored a header with his height, but the ball was too straight and hit the opponent's goalkeeper Ryan Eisen directly. Fortunately, the distance was too close for the opponent's goalkeeper to hug ball.

The ball bounced back into the penalty area, and David Robertson, who was inserted in the back row, rushed to the goal with a supplementary shot.

"Goooooooooal~~~~"

"Dundee United finally scored. They played very proactively at the beginning and finally seized the opportunity to score!"

The goal was scored, but everyone was not so happy because Joan Daly was injured.

Just after that scramble for a header, he sprained his ankle when he landed.

Peter Houston had to make a substitution and replaced the teenager Russell.

Although Joan Daly was injured, it did not affect the overall momentum of Dundee United.

In the 67th minute, Li Chenglong once again dribbled the ball from the ribs into the penalty area. This time Inverness was prepared, and then they brought Li Chenglong down directly, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

"Lee literally turned the right wing upside down for Inverness today and he has now won another penalty for Dundee United!"

This is the first time that Li Chenglong has created a penalty kick in the game, but obviously, he is not yet qualified to take this penalty kick he created. And based on his few performances in front of the goal just now, I am afraid that Peter Houston would not dare to let him go up to take the penalty.

Goodwell, the team's first penalty shooter, came to take the penalty in person, and easily tricked the opponent's goalkeeper into scoring the ball. Dundee United extended the score to 2:0.

In the following time, Dundee United did not score any more goals, but Li Chenglong found that he seemed to have a bit of potential for happy football.

In the 84th minute, Li Chenglong received the ball at the corner of the penalty area on the right. Seeing that there were no defensive players around him for the time being, he decided to make a kick himself.

Shooting, anyway, is also practiced, practiced in the game is also practiced.

Li Chenglong confidently bent his bow and set his arrow, and shot a violent volley. He felt very good about himself, with a perfect inclination of his body, sufficient force under his feet, and a very good aiming angle of the ball.

But after the ball flew over quickly, it hit the side net, and it missed quite a bit.

"Bruce, shooting from free kicks is completely different from shooting from free kicks. It seems that your shooting skills need more practice." Armstrong gloated and mocked.

In the end, Dundee United defeated Inverness 2-0 in the away game, which was regarded as a small revenge for the previous loss at home.

In this round of the league, Dundee United's competitors all lost.

Hearts lost 0:1 to Rangers away, Motherwell lost 0:1 to Kilmarnock at home, and Dundee United beat Inverness 2:0 in a direct match.

As a result, Dundee United's ranking climbed two positions and came to No. 4 in the standings.

In the current Soviet Super League standings, Rangers, who had one less game, occupy the top spot with 40 points.

The Celtics have lost points in a row recently. Not only did they fail to catch up with the score in one more round, but they were opened up by one more point. They temporarily ranked second with 38 points.

The third place is Hearts, currently with 29 points.

Dundee United, who played one game less, came to the fourth place with 26 points.

Behind them are Inverness with 25 points and Motherwell with 23 points. However, Kilmarnock has won consecutive games recently, and the points have gradually caught up. At present, they have the same 23 points as Motherwell.
