Young Football Player

Relying on an assist by Jackie Chan and an own goal, Dundee United temporarily led Fulham 2:1 in the first half.

During the intermission, the "big guys" in the stands left one after another.

Investigating players, especially young players, is more about talent than watching the entire game.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Fulham attacked first for a while, but after no effect, they gradually failed to attack.

In the current Fulham team, the core of their offense should have been the Belgian Moussa Dembele, but Dembele received a red card in the last game and was suspended for this game. Veteran Duff can only resist this. The banner of the attack.

But Duff is approaching 33, and he's really on the verge of being overwhelmed.

After barely leading the team to attack for a while in the first half and sending an assist to help Fulham equalize the score, Duff really couldn't run in the second half.

As for the Norwegian heavy artillery Riser, although he once had a long-range heavy artillery to interrupt Alan Smith's thigh, which made the latter's career go downhill since then, he is now the same old and can't fire the cannon.

So Fulham fell behind in the second half, but their offense was not as good as in the first half, and they created a lot less threat.

Dundee United also recognized this situation, so the two teams were in a stalemate.

Dundee United does not want to play too hard in the game. In the case of multi-line battles this season, everyone is very tired.

The most intuitive manifestation is that now only one-third of the season has been played, and the team has already had two key players, Barry Douglas and Brother Moon, injured.

You must know that after playing the entire season last season, Dundee United only had two injuries to key players, Joan Daly and Jackie Lee, and none of them were serious.

Until the end of the game, the scoreboard at Craven Stadium was still 1:2, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Dundee United team cheered at Craven Stadium.

"Well done, the lads from Dundee United are all doing well. They beat their opponents 2:1 in the away game, completed a double play against the Premier League team Fulham, and laid the foundation for their promotion to the knockout round."

The Scottish commentator is also cheering, because this is a Scottish victory over England.

After defeating Fulham in this game, Dundee United's points came to 7 points, while Fulham still only had 4 points, and Dundee United still had an advantage in terms of the outcome.

In another game at the same time, Twente defeated Odense 3:2 at home, completed a double play against the Danish team, and the points came to 10 points.

The current standings for Group K after four rounds are Twente with 10 points, Dundee United with 7 points, Fulham with 4 points and Odense with 1 point.

According to the current situation, Dundee United only needs to win any game in the last two rounds to ensure that they will advance to the knockout rounds.

After the game, as the winner of the best player in the game, Li Chenglong went to the press conference with the head coach Peter Houston.

But at the press conference, the English reporters didn't care much about the result of the game, instead they kept asking about Jackie Chan's future.

"Bruce, Arsene Wenger, the head coach of Arsenal, appeared in the stands. Is this an appointment you made in advance?"

"Of course not. I didn't know that Coach Wenger was coming to the Craven Stadium. Maybe he just came to watch a game."

"There were people from Manchester United and Tottenham in the stands, you know?"

"No, I don't even know the people you're talking about."

"So will you leave Scotland in this winter transfer period? Or next year's summer transfer period?"

"I am living very well in Dundee and have no intention of leaving Dundee United for the time being."

"But Wenger said that he would make another offer to Dundee United during the winter transfer period,

What do you think? "

"There will be countless offers in every transfer period, but very few of them can actually achieve a transfer."

...

After finally dealing with the reporters, Li Chenglong did not go to the hotel with the whole team to rest, but left with Kate Lee.

"Bruce really just went home to rest?" Assistant coach Toby Hudson asked after watching Jackie Lee got into Kate Lee's car and left.

"I don't know, that's what he said when he asked me for leave." Peter Houston sighed.

The two looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that this genius may not have much time to stay in Dundee United.

Li Chenglong did go home to rest, but before going home to rest, he had to go to a place first.

Kate Lee turned the steering wheel around, and the car came to North London and stopped in front of a small villa with exquisite decoration.

The two knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a gray-haired old man with a square face. If he was an Arsenal fan, he would definitely recognize him. This is Wenger's right-hand man, Arsenal's assistant coach Pat Rice, known as Uncle Rice.

Rice is Rice, the meaning of rice.

Pat Rice ushered the two through the door, where Arsene Wenger was already waiting.

"Kate, Bruce, you are here." Wenger stood up and shook hands with Kate, and then patted Jackie Lee on the shoulder.

This was the first time that Li Chenglong saw a famous football figure like Wenger face to face, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.

Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, Wenger is indeed gentle in appearance.

After the four sat down, Pat Rice first praised Jackie Lee: "Bruce, you performed very well tonight."

"Thank you, but this is all thanks to the whole team." Li Chenglong still has this awareness, don't be greedy for credit.

After the simple politeness, the topic finally entered the most important stage.

"Bruce, you have to believe that we definitely invited you to join Arsenal with great sincerity." Wenger pushed his glasses and said: "The current situation of Arsenal is indeed not very good, but this is also the reason This is your chance to show your strength, isn't it?"

Pat Rice also said: "In the past two years, the team's personnel changes have been very large. We are losing important players in each transfer period, and our core players are changing almost every year..."

Wenger glanced at his assistant coach, but didn't say much.

Li Chenglong understood Rice's words, meaning that if he joined Arsenal, as long as he played well, he might be promoted as a core player in a year or two.

Another meaning of this is that the current core of Arsenal, Van Persie, may also be leaving.

Van Persie has performed very well this season, almost reaching the peak of his career, so there are scandals about the Manchester City duo almost every day with Van Persie.

"Coach Wenger, I am indeed very honored by your personal invitation, but this may be an important step that will affect my career, and I really cannot make a decision lightly."

At the end of the topic, Li Chenglong still said so, and it was getting late, Li Chenglong and Kate Lee were about to leave.

After watching Li Chenglong and his car leave, Wenger and his teaching assistant went back to the room and sat down. They both lit a cigarette and kept silent to each other.

"Don't the media say that this kid is a loyal fan of our team? Why didn't he let go when we personally invited him?" Pat Rice finally couldn't help but said.

"It can be seen that he not only has a high golf quotient on the court, but also a person with a high emotional intelligence in life. It is difficult for this kind of person to restrain him emotionally." Wenger took a puff of cigarette.

"It's a pity. If he can be finalized, together with Jack, we will have the core midfielder for the next ten years." The Jack mentioned by Pat Rice refers to Jack Wilshere. Super genius.

"Although he didn't let go, we must be the closest team to introduce him." Wenger took another long breath.

"Where's Manchester United? Manchester United's interest in him is not small at all..." Rice said, suddenly thought of something, and quickly said: "Isn't that old guy Ferguson always obsessed with Robin? We can use this Go and threaten him, let him withdraw from the competition."

Rice felt that he really thought of a genius solution, and couldn't help dancing.

As for Robin, it naturally refers to Arsenal's current star Robin van Persie.
