In the new season, the Scottish Super League has only played three rounds, and Dundee United temporarily ranks fourth in the standings with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points.

At the top of the list is the Celtics with three consecutive victories. In addition, Rangers and Motherwell also have 2 wins and 1 tie, but their goal difference is more than Dundee United.

After the third round of the league, Dundee United can have a one-week break. The Dundee United coaching staff intends to take advantage of this time to quickly hone the lineup.

During this period, the Scottish domestic media began to spread rumors that the Glasgow Rangers might be in trouble.

Simply put, homeless people are likely to encounter financial problems and face the risk of bankruptcy.

In fact, the small league dominance teams like the Rangers and the Celtics, unless they have a very fat benefactor father, most of them are relatively tight financially.

After all, they want to maintain their league dominance status, and the annual cost is definitely not small.

However, although the finances are tight, they can still hold on in general. Aren't many top teams in the league going forward with such a heavy burden.

But a new rule introduced by the HMRC this year has been the last straw for homeless people.

In order to cut expenses several years ago, the Rangers management began to pay part of the salary to the players in the form of employee welfare trust, which can help the club avoid taxes to a certain extent, and it can be regarded as a legal loophole.

However, the regulations issued by the tax bureau this year not only closed the previous loopholes, but also made rigid regulations. The previous practice of homeless people is seriously illegal.

This time tax avoidance has become tax evasion, and the British tax office is currently preparing to take the homeless to court.

The British Inland Revenue not only requires homeless people to pay more than 50 million pounds in tax evasion in previous years, but also has to pay more than 25 million pounds in fines.

It is impossible for homeless people to get so much money, and the possibility of bankruptcy is very high.

Although the vagrants are still negotiating with various parties, the overall effect is not great. This is more like delaying time. If they can't get the money, the vagrants will really go bankrupt.

The situation of the Rangers actually has nothing to do with Dundee United, but if the Rangers really go bankrupt, they will not only be deducted points, but they will also lose their qualifications for the European competition next season. Champions League qualification.

Even if the Celtics continue to maintain their dominance, there is still one Champions League spot left to compete for, and many teams are already eyeing the remaining spot.

During Li Chenglong's training with the team, his name was once again mentioned by the British media.

During the ongoing transfer in the summer of 2011, Arsenal lost too much blood and almost collapsed.

Cesc Fabregas, the core midfielder and star star, had to fight for a long time, and finally returned to Barcelona in the form of making up the price difference out of his own pocket. Nasri was also inspired by money and moved to Manchester City, an oil tycoon. embrace.

Two of the four gentlemen of North London came out at once.

Arsenal, which suffered heavy losses, urgently needed supplements, so Professor Wenger had to search around in the transfer market, and according to British media reports, Lee Chenglong was also one of Arsenal's targets.

At first, Jackie Lee thought it was just hype, but two days later, Arsenal actually made an offer of £3 million.

For a player playing in the Scottish league, this offer is not low.

At present, the little monsters in non-mainstream football leagues are generally only worth this price, and it has not yet reached the era when a little monster can cost hundreds of millions.

Dundee United quickly rejected Arsenal's offer. After all, they just sold Goodwell just now, and then sold Lee Chenglong. Then this year's Dundee United game will be completely out of their minds.

Unexpectedly, Arsenal was quite determined, and soon increased the offer to 4 million pounds.

It is already very sincere, and at the same time, I also contacted Li Chenglong's agent, Kate Lee.

And under Jackie Chan's Twitter, Arsenal fans began to come and leave him messages.

"Hey boy, didn't you always want to play for Arsenal? Now is your chance, what are you waiting for?"

Dundee United is quite optimistic about Jackie Lee, and has no plan to sell Jackie Lee for the time being, or they don't think that Jackie Chan can be bought for £4 million.

Li Chenglong himself has no plans to leave, after all, this year will be his first year leading the team alone to prove himself.

But John Old had labeled him as a loyal Arsenal fan before, so Jackie Lee also made a statement on his Twitter.

"I am very happy to be appreciated by Arsenal, but I can only say sorry to Coach Wenger. David (Goodwell) has gone. If I leave at this time, it will put Dundee United in a very passive position. In the situation, if I do that, what is the difference between Fabregas and Nasri?"

Li Chenglong's Twitter quickly attracted a lot of attention. After all, he is a new generation of demon stars who just completed a hat-trick in the European War.

The Dundee United fans all came to praise him, making him a hat of affection and righteousness.

But some other fans are not too polite, because Jackie Chan’s twitter statement is suspected of satirizing Fabregas and Nasri, and in his capacity, he is still far from a star of the level of Fabregas. .

While tweeting, Jackie Lee also asked Kate Lee to convey his intention to Arsenal. He really has no plans to leave Dundee United this summer.

On August 13th, in the fourth round of the Scottish Premier League, Dundee United went to Glasgow to challenge the Celtics away.

In this game, Li Chenglong was defended very hard, because the team of Dundee United hadn't run well, and the others didn't have much deterrent effect. Currently, only Li Chenglong in the Dundee United team is a threat.

The Celtics seized this point and strictly prevented Lee Chenglong from double-teaming, which greatly limited Dundee United's offense.

So at Celtic Park, Dundee United suffered a 2:5 disastrous defeat, and the Celtics avenged the FA Cup final last season.

However, Li Chenglong was not without performance. He seized an opportunity to send a precise cross in the first half, assisted Vardy to score, and allowed him to score his first goal after joining Dundee United.

Vardy is as happy as a fool when he scores a goal. He doesn't care if the team loses. He talks loudly on the bus back to Dundee, why he will score twice in the next game, and directly hat the next game. Big words like magic tricks just spewed out of his head.

It's not without reason that Peter Huston doesn't believe in this guy. He may be mainly worried that this guy's brain is not working.

The away loss to the Celtics is an expected result. After all, the team has not been in a good state recently, but it is a bit miserable to lose 2:5.

Fortunately, despite the disastrous away defeat, Dundee United's league ranking has not changed, it is still ranked fourth, and no other team has caught up.

However, the top three teams all won, and the gap between Dundee United and the team in front of them was widened.

After the Celtic game, Dundee United needs to prepare for the Europa League qualifiers in the middle of the week.
