　　 An away draw with Motherwell is not ideal for Dundee United, but the team’s two goals Jackie Lee participated, and the second goal was his direct assist. His personal performance was not bad.

　　 Dundee United had three consecutive victories before and had already raised the team's ranking to the fourth position, but the national team lost two rounds after the match day, and the ranking dropped to seventh.

　　 So in the quarterfinals of the League Cup next week, Peter Houston once again arranged for a substitute.

What’s interesting is that Dundee United’s opponent in the League Cup quarterfinals is Motherwell’s opponent a few days ago, and the venue is still on the away field. Many people are watching whether Dundee United will make a few more matches there. Own goals.

　　 But they were disappointed. Dundee United did not score an own goal this time, but failed to win the game. Dundee United lost to Motherwell in the away game 0:1 and was eliminated from the League Cup.

　　 was eliminated from the League Cup, Peter Houston didn't care too much. His plan was to stabilize the league, and it would be better if he could rise steadily. At the end of the season, he would get a European qualification, then he would be satisfied.

Dundee United’s current performance has allowed Houston to temporarily stabilize the position of coach, but it is obvious that his previous performance still made Dundee United management not trust him, so Houston himself knows that if Dundee United is ranked at the end of this season For ordinary midstream rankings, he is likely to still dismiss get out of class.

　　 If he wants to continue coaching Dundee United next season, it is best to lead the team to get a European qualification, so the possibility of him staying next season will be great.

　　 On October 30, the 10th round of the Soviet Super League, Dundee United played against Hibernian at home.

　　 Hibernian is a club from Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It is a rival in the same city as Hartz. In the early years, it was considered the third team in Scotland after the Celtics and Rangers. (Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, but the capital of Scotland is Edinburgh)

　　 Hibernian has a very happy name in the Cantonese area, Hi Hundred Years.

　　Because of their English name Hibernian, it really sounds like Hibernian.

　　 It is worth mentioning that Hibainian is the first British team to participate in the Champions League.

　　 The first edition of the Champions League was just established. At that time, it was not the direct competition of the league champions of various countries, but the participation by invitation. There were only 16 teams participating in the first UEFA Champions League, among which the most influential are Real Madrid and AC Milan.

　　 There should have been two participating teams on the British side at that time. Hibainian was the invited representative of Scotland and Chelsea was the invited representative of England.

But on the Chelsea side, because the FA was unwilling to make concessions for the Champions League, which was just started and did not have much influence, in the end Chelsea had to withdraw from the Champions League due to the schedule and was replaced by a Polish team. Its location.

　　 Chelsea missed the status of being the first English team to participate in the Champions League, and it also became the first British team to participate in the Champions League in the century.

　　 Xibainian played well in the first Champions League. They reached the semi-finals before losing to the French local tycoon team Reims.

　　 This time the main scene was against Hibainian, Peter Houston gave a death order, demanding that the game must be won.

　　 Indeed, if this game can't be won, Dundee United will lose four rounds in all competitions.

　　 Many times, I lose too much. If I lose, I lose my energy.

　　 But Xibainian is not a weak team that makes people knead at will. Even if Dundee United has the home court advantage, it is also very difficult to play.

　　 In the first half of the game, you came and I met, but in the end they got a goalless draw.

　　 In the 71st minute of the second half, Li Chenglong was ready to move forward on the right. Brother Moon moved to Li Chenglong after getting the ball in the middle. The pass was a half-high pass, and the pass was still behind Li Chenglong, which made him difficult to handle.

　　 Faced with such a pass, Li Chenglong had an idea, turned around and raised his foot in the air, hooking the football behind him, and Li Chenglong turned and rushed forward, just leaving the defender behind.

　　 "Pretty~~~ Lee's hook is so beautiful!!!"

　　 "Li's action is so imaginative!!"

　　 After passing the man, Li Chenglong was completely empty in front of him, so he smoothly cut the ball into the penalty area and attracted others to come closer to him, but he pushed his foot to pass the ball to the back of the goal.

　　 Goodwell inserted in the back row, made a relaxed kick from behind the goal, and scored a goal.

　　 This goal was also the only goal in the whole game. Dundee United relied on this goal to win 1-0 at home, ending the consecutive invincibility in all competitions.

After 　　 won the game, Dundee United also rose two places in the standings, reaching fifth place.

　　 In this round of the Super League, the most watched game is the time-honored Derby, the Celtics and Rangers.

　　 In the previous 9 rounds of the league, the two time-honored teams have maintained 9 full victories. This is the standard first battle.

　　 In the end, the Celtics lost to the Rangers 1:3 at home, reaping their first defeat in the league and allowing the Rangers to successfully top the list.

　　The Soviet Super League is like this. The two big bosses rarely lose in China. Even if they lose, they lose each other. It is difficult for other teams to have a chance to beat them.

　　 The next day after winning the game, Old John suddenly said that he would invite dinner, which made Li Chenglong a little baffling.

　　 came to a French restaurant in the city ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Old John finally introduced the person who really treats today.

　　 "Bruce, this is our club chairman Eddie Thompson."

　　 "Eddie, this is Bruce, you have seen it."

　　 "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Thompson." The other party said it was his own boss, and Li Chenglong went up to shake hands.

　　 "Bruce, you have performed very well recently. Old John really has a great grandson."

　　 The three of them had a meal for a while before Li Chenglong knew what the routine of today’s meal was.

　　 is not a banquet, but a simple exchange of feelings between the chairman and the players. By the way, he said that at the end of the season, Dundee United will activate the buyout clause in the loan contract to make Lee Chenglong a real Dundee United player.

　　 Li Chenglong is a bit speechless. With his previous performances, Dundee United has not yet determined whether to activate the buyout clause, or that they did not think that Li Chenglong could be worth 1.2 million pounds.

　　 They finally made a decision recently, thinking that Jackie Lee is worth 1.2 million pounds.

　　 Actually, what Lee Chenglong wants to hear is the club's salary increase.

　　 Lee Chenglong’s current contract was signed at the Crystal Palace. The weekly salary is 4,000 pounds, which is a little more than 20,000 pounds a month, which is very cheap.

　　Of course, the first contract of many non-genius players in British football is about this price, which is similar to the youth contract price of those talented Premier League players.

　　 But Li Chenglong felt that his recent performance should be significantly higher than the value of £20,000.

　　 However, Dundee United did not have any intention to give him a raise.

　　 In other words, they think that the current salary of Jackie Lee is quite reasonable.
