Young Football Player
Chapter 88
Although the Europa League knockout draw has come out, it will not start until February next year. Dundee United still needs to prepare for the domestic league.
On December 18, in the 19th round of the Scottish Super League, Dundee United played away to Kilmarnock.
Due to a Europa League game in the middle of the week, Dundee United's team is not in the best condition, but Kilmarnock is also not in good condition. They have only won one game in the last five league rounds, which is when the state is in a downturn.
The two teams drew 1:1 in the first half, and in the 65th minute of the second half, Jackie Chan assisted Vardy to score the goal through a through pass. In this way, they won the opponent 2:1 in the away game and won three consecutive league victories.
In the other games of this round, the Glasgow duo won, but Motherwell was tied at home by the relegation madman St. Mirren and lost another point.
This season's Soviet Super League schedule has passed halfway. In the current standings:
Glasgow Rangers temporarily top the list with 14 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses and 45 points.
Dundee United ranked second with 13 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses with 42 points.
The Celtics ranked third with 13 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses with 41 points.
Motherwell ranks fourth with 37 points from 11 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.
These four are the teams that have the best chance of competing for the league championship. The next team that is the closest is also more than 10 points away from Motherwell.

Before next year's Europa League knockout round, Dundee United can only prepare for domestic competitions with peace of mind. Li Chenglong also plans to take advantage of this time to properly strengthen training and speed up the integration of his talent cards by the way.
At present, the five talent cards of Li Chenglong have a fusion degree of 53% for sidewalk fast horse, 50% for moon round scimitar, 44% for cycling prince, 36% for long-range shooting master, and 25% for penetration.
Among several cards, Prince Cycling only needs to increase his fusion degree by 1% to activate the additional attribute of "15% increase in dribbling stability".
In terms of basic attributes, Li Chenglong's current technical attributes are 73 points, spiritual attributes are 75 points, and physical attributes are 72 points.
Li Chenglong found that the increase of physical attributes does not seem to be completely dependent on the system. After the increase reaches 70, the speed has indeed slowed down, but it has not slowed down to the extent of technical attributes.
Li Chenglong felt that after a while, his physical attributes would surpass his technical attributes.
When Jackie Chan was training himself, Andrew Robertson also took the initiative to come to train with him.
"Bruce, how did you manage to become the main player so quickly last season?" During the training break, Robertson couldn't help asking.
Robertson has joined Dundee United for half a year. Although he was quickly recognized by Peter Houston and stayed in the first team, he has been unable to play the main force for a long time.
In the past half of the season, Robertson can only play as the second substitute at the left back position most of the time. Only when Barry Douglas and Sean Dillon were injured one after another, he played the main force briefly.
But his performance was not too good. After the two came back, he returned to the bench.
"Andrew, your biggest problem is the lack of physical confrontation. You not only need to eat a reasonable diet and exercise more to make yourself stronger as soon as possible, but also need to adapt to the rhythm of physical confrontation on the court as soon as possible, so that you can fully demonstrate your talent."
"It's crucial for players to adapt to the pitch."
Li Chenglong can only say this, because it is impossible for him to say to the other party, 'I am helping in a systematic way'.

On December 24th, in the 20th round of the Soviet Super League, Dundee United played against Xibainian at home.
In this game, Li Chenglong performed quite well. He had two good breakthroughs, but he did not get a direct goal or an assist. However, Dundee United still relied on their overall strength.
Win the game 3:1 at home and take all three points.
In other games played in the same round, Celtic beat Kilmarnock 2:1 at home, while Motherwell lost 0:2 away to Hearts, these are not important, the most important thing is that Glasgow Rangers Lost to St. Mirren 1:2 away.
After Rangers lost this game, Dundee United caught up with the opponent in points.
At present, Dundee United and Rangers both have 45 points, but they can't compare with each other in terms of goal difference. Dundee United can only temporarily rank second.
But in the next round of the league, the Rangers will have a time-honored derby with the Celtics. With the current state of the Rangers, it is very possible to lose points.
As long as Rangers lose points in the next round and Dundee United wins the game, then Dundee United can reach the top of the table.
"This is the best opportunity for Dundee United in 18 years." Scotland's sports television said.
The last time Dundee United reached the top of the Scottish Super League standings was in the 93/94 season. Dundee United briefly topped the list with three consecutive victories at the start.
Now that eighteen years have passed, Dundee United finally have another chance to reach the top of the Scottish Super League standings.
For this opportunity, Dundee United attaches great importance to it, and no one wants to miss this good opportunity.
On December 28th, in the 21st round of the Scottish Premier League, Dundee United will challenge St Mirren away, while Celtic will host Rangers at home.
"This round has two crucial games. The results of each game are different, and there may be three different top spots." The Scottish commentary talked about the situation on the standings.
"Currently Rangers and Dundee United have 45 points and Celtic have 44 points."
"After this round of competition, it is possible that the Rangers continue to occupy the top spot, or it may be that Dundee United has reached the top spot after 18 years, or it may be that the Celtics have overwhelmed the two teams and climbed to the top spot at the same time."
"The Scottish Premiership hasn't been this competitive for many years."
St. Mirren had some minor conflicts with Dundee United last season. This time, Dundee United will never easily let Dundee United take three points at their home court.
Moreover, St. Mirren's state in the last two rounds of the league is also very good. They first drew with Motherwell away, and then defeated Rangers at home.
Speaking of which, Dundee United now has a chance to reach the top of the list, thanks to the help of St. Mirren.
At the St. Mirren Park Stadium, the two teams played against each other as soon as the game started.
In the 18th minute of the opening, St. Mirren created a chance through a cross from the side. Their 1.9 meter high center forward Thompson scored with a header and took the lead in the score.
However, 10 minutes later, Dundee United made a beautiful counterattack by relying on the gap after the opponent pressed the attack.
Conway, Jackie Lee and Joan Daly shot three arrows together. Conway sent a diagonal pass from the left side of the front court. The ball is handed over to the back point.
Li Chenglong's series of actions completely attracted St. Mirren's defensive attention, and Joan Daly, who came in from the back point, easily pushed the empty goal.
"Bruce Lee's missed ball just now was too clever. He circled the ball like stepping on a bicycle to completely disintegrate St. Mirren's defense. Joan Daly only needed to simply push the empty goal."
"More importantly, he didn't even touch the ball during the whole process."
Jackie Chan's ingenious leak did not make St. Mirren timid, and they continued to attack at home.
In the 34th minute, St Mirren's Australian midfielder Aaron Moy dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tripped by Paul Dixon. The opponent was awarded a penalty and Paul Dixon received a yellow card.
St. Mirren midfielder Carre made a penalty kick to help St. Mirren exceed the score again.
However, after only 5 minutes, Jackie Lee sent a good cross. Joan Daly's header was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, but Moon Brother followed up in time and succeeded in making up shots.
Dundee United also equalized again.
"The two teams dedicated a battle in the first half and jointly contributed four goals. This is definitely a wonderful first half."
For the fans, it was a wonderful first half, but for the Dundee United team, they were not satisfied with this first half.
Dundee United just want to win the game and reach the top of the list again after 18 years, they don't care if they are good or not.
At the beginning of the second half, Dundee United began to properly control the rhythm and stop following the opponent's offensive rhythm.
More than ten minutes later, St. Mirren's offensive slowed down and the offensive state was not good, but Dundee United's offensive state was also lost.
Under such circumstances, in the 71st minute, Conway passed a ball from the left, and Li Chenglong turned his back to the goal at the front of the penalty area in the middle, and behind him was the Dutchman Stellar who was marking him.
Li Chenglong caught the ball with his right foot and flew the ball over his head to the other side. The follower turned around and pushed the Dutchman with his elbow to create space for himself. He raised his right leg and volleyed. .
This unexpected pick the ball from outside the penalty area and then turned around and volleyed. Everyone didn't react, and the ball flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal.
"Goooooooooooal~~~~~~~"
"Bruce Lee~~~~Bruce Lee~~~~~ He's so amazing!!!"
"This is an extremely shocking goal. Li turned around and volleyed after picking the ball. How did he think of doing this?!"
"St Mirren once again in the background, once again Lee scored a fairy ball against them!!"
Lee's goal silenced St Mirren Park, but was quickly replaced by boos.
However, Li Chenglong didn't care about these things. After scoring such a goal, he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with his teammates wantonly.
"Bruce, Bruce, how did you do it?"
"It's just amazing."
The teammates also continuously issued such amazing questions.
Li Chenglong just reached 45% of the Bike Prince card fusion and activated the additional attributes. Li Chenglong didn't feel the so-called increased dribbling stability, but he obviously felt that his sense of the ball had become better.
Many times, as soon as something comes to mind, the body will follow suit.
Jackie Chan's fairy ball was also the last goal of the game. In the following time, although St. Mirren tried to equalize the score and even replaced Hasselbaink, they still failed to score again.
This Hasselbaink is the nephew of the famous Chelsea star Jimmy Hasselbaink. It will be reduced to playing in the Soviet Super League, and it will not be the main player.
In the end, Dundee United defeated St. Mirren 3:2 in the away game and won the fifth consecutive league victory.
At the end of the game, the Dundee United team cheered and celebrated directly at St. Mirren Park.
Because in another game at the same time, the Celtics defeated the Rangers 1-0 at home. In this case, Dundee United really climbed to the top of the standings.
"We congratulate Dundee United. They have reached the top of the Scottish Premier League after 18 years. With their current form, they may win the league title this season."
"The last time a non-established team won the league title was 27 years ago."
"It's entirely possible that Dundee United will perform a miracle this season."
