Chapter 55 Finals ([-])

In the past few days before the start of the FA Cup final, Jackie Lee has been taking Luca Savage to Dundee United's training ground and asked him to help him with training.

What Li Chenglong has to do is to adapt to the newly acquired long-range shooting talent as soon as possible, maybe it will be useful in the FA Cup final.

There is a football every one meter outside the penalty area, and Li Chenglong goes up one by one to complete the shot.Of course, the center of the goal is sealed with a net, and only the four corners are empty, and Lee Chenglong can only hit the four corners accurately before the ball can enter the goal.

"Bruce, I am really surprised by your progress this year." During the interval of training, Savage handed Li Chenglong a bottle of water and said.

"Of course, I have been a genius since I was a child, as long as you give me a chance, I can return you a miracle." Li Chenglong boasted unceremoniously.

Savage didn't answer, but his face clearly showed disbelief.

Li Chenglong got to know him when he first came to the UK, of course he knows best whether he is a genius or not.

Li Chenglong didn't care whether the other party believed it or not, but continued: "Little Ivan seems to be very interested in becoming a professional player?"

"Well, but he's not very talented, even worse than when you first came to England." Speaking of his son, Savage couldn't help but sigh.

"How about I ask Kate and Dundee United to let little Ivan enter the youth training camp here?" Li Chenglong took out a poisoned apple and began to seduce the other party: "Success does not only depend on talent, sometimes Effort is also very important, maybe little Ivan has this quality."

"Didn't Edison say that genius is actually composed of 90.00% sweat and [-]% talent." Li Chenglong continued.

"But Edison also said the second half of the sentence - but most of the time, that one percent of talent is more important than 90.00% of sweat." Savage pointed it out bluntly.

"That's why you in Europe just don't have enough ideological awareness. I only saw the first half of the sentence when I was in elementary school in China. At that time, this sentence deeply inspired me."

……

While Lee and Savage practiced on the training ground, Peter Huston and his coaching staff looked on from the offices of the nearby club.

"Bruce has been practicing extra lately?" Houston asked his assistant.

"Well, he brought the Serbian to practice every day, and he often practiced more." Assistant coach Toby Harrison replied.

"How is the club talking about triggering the buyout clause for Bruce?" This is the question that coach Peter Houston is most concerned about.

"We are already talking about buying Bruce. There is no doubt about buying Bruce. With Bruce's performance this season, even if he is sold to the Celtics or Rangers immediately, he can be sold at a price of about 300 million pounds. The team over there is interested in him, the price will be higher, and we can buy him out for £120 million, which is very profitable."

Assistant coach Harrison continued: "Although I heard that Crystal Palace is trying to get Bruce back, but the clauses in the contract are clearly written, they can't have a chance. Now it is on the salary after the buyout , haven’t been able to talk to Bruce’s mother yet.”

"Does she demand a high salary?"

"She offered Bruce a weekly salary of 2 pounds, which is the highest salary in our team. At present, only Goodwell can get a weekly salary of 2 pounds."

"Bruce is worth the price."

"But the management is worried that Goodwell will be dissatisfied with giving Bruce 2 pounds. He is likely to ask for a salary increase. This is what the club does not want to see. This will increase the club's salary burden..."

2011年5月21号，2010/11赛季苏格兰足总杯的决赛即将在格拉斯哥的汉普顿公园球场打响。

Before the game started, the atmosphere in Hampton Park became lively.

The main reason is that there are more Celtic fans. After all, this is Glasgow, which is half of their home court.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Celtics in green and white striped shirts and Dundee United in dark yellow jerseys came on the field, and huge cheers erupted in the stadium immediately.

"Although the two teams got cheers from their respective fans when they played, I think the current situation of the two teams is completely different." The commentator introduced again.

"Dundee United has already qualified for the Europa League next season through the league rankings. This FA Cup final is more like icing on the cake for them. If they can win the best, they will not be too disappointed if they can't win."

"As for the Celtics, as a team that aspires to a championship every season, they haven't won any championship so far this season. If they can't win this final, then Celtic This season will be all four again."

"The Celtics didn't win any championships last season, and they won't win any championships again this season, that is, they won't win any championships for two consecutive seasons. You must know that the Celtics didn't win any championships for two consecutive seasons last time." To any champion, that was more than 80 years ago."

"So the Celtics can't win this game. Their head coach Tony Mowbray will dismiss get out of class 100%. Even if he wins, he may not be able to stay in the coaching position for a long time. Tetes failed to qualify for the Champions League."

"Dundee United, if they can win the FA Cup, it will be the first time in their team history that they have won the FA Cup for two consecutive years, and it is also the first time since the 80s that they have won the FA Cup for two consecutive years. .”

"However, judging from the results of the battle between the two teams this season, Dundee United has one draw and three losses against the Celtics four times. Dundee United has not won a single game. A Scottish Premiership team that has never been beaten."

"It is worth mentioning that Dundee United Club has always claimed that their core player Bruce Lee has not recovered from his injury, but this game he has undoubtedly started the game..."

While the commentator was talking, the two teams also set up their formations on the field. Dundee United was still the regular 442,

Goalkeeper: Pernis;

Guards: Sean Dillon, Paul Dixon, Gary Kenneth, Scott Severin;
Midfielders: Craig Conway, David Robertson, Stuart Armstrong, Jackie Lee;

Forwards: Goodwell, Joan Daly.

The Celtics also have a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: FLS Foster;
Defenders: Mark Wilson, Daniel Mastorovich, Charlie Mulgrew, Emilio Isaguirre;
Midfielders: James Forrester, Bilan Kayal, Chris Commons, Scott Brown;

The referee for this game is the famous Scottish whistler William Colum. With his whistle, the last game of the Scottish League this year has officially started.
