Chapter 51 Semifinals

On April 17, 2011, at 12:45 noon local time in the UK, the semi-final of the 2010/11 Scottish FA Cup is about to begin.

Dundee United has basically locked in the third place in the standings. Now they want to reach the FA Cup final and strive to complete the defense. The commentator talked about the topic before the opening.

Hearts, who have been entangled with Dundee United in the standings for almost a whole season, have completely become Dundee United supporters at this time. They are waiting for Dundee United to beat St. Johnstone and score What about the finals?

As long as Dundee United can defeat St. Johnstone in this game and enter the FA Cup final, and Celtic has successfully advanced to the final yesterday, then the FA Cup this season will either belong to Celtic or Dundee. Dilian are all teams that have already qualified for the European competition, and Hearts, who is fourth in the league, also has the qualification for the European competition next season.

There have been media reports before, claiming that Hearts' home draw in the last round of the league was intentional. They wanted to allow Dundee United to continue to expand their advantage and prepare for the semi-final with peace of mind, so as to beat St. Johnstone and help them. Lock in European qualification.

Although the Hearts club does not admit this statement, there are still many people who believe in this conspiracy theory.

However, St. Johnstone may not allow Dundee United to pass easily. In the FA Cup last season, Dundee United defeated St. Johnstone in the semi-finals, and finally entered the final to win the championship. This season, the two teams are in the semi-finals again. Meet, St Johnstone certainly doesn't want to be a loser all the time.

The Hampton Park Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 people, has already been occupied by Dundee United fans and St. Johnstone fans.

There is a huge championship belongs to Dundee United banner in the stands, and there are various other large and small support posters.

Scottish referee James Wilson whistled, and the FA Cup semi-final officially began.

Dundee United kicked off the ball first, and the ball came to Li Chenglong's feet after a few times of inversions in the midfield. Li Chenglong controlled the ball and moved forward.

The quality of the ball was not bad, the ball stuck to the baseline from the far post.

Bruce Lee finished the first kick after the opening kick. Although he played very casually, the quality of the kick was not bad. It seems that he has continued his excellent form since the second half of the season.

The commentator was praising Jackie Lee, but St. Johnstone's coach Worthers Clarke on the sidelines was upset and began to roar: Look at him, what are you doing, look at that kid, don't let him do whatever he wants.

Although St. Johnstone really wants to beat Dundee United to enter the final to compete for the championship, but their overall strength is indeed not as good as Dundee United.

St Johnstone hadn't even managed to finish the first shot in the opening game, and Dundee United scored first.

In the 9th minute, Li Chenglong received a pass from Moon Brother on the right side of the front field. Facing St. Johnstone midfielder Chris Millar, Li Chenglong made a false start, but quickly pulled the ball back. Just get rid of each other.

After throwing off the opponent, Li Chenglong quickly started, accelerated forward, and obliquely killed the opponent's penalty area.

St. Johnstone defenders Anderson and Duberry teamed up to attack, but Li Chenglong made an emergency stop just after entering the penalty area. He gave way to the closing attack of the two, then turned the ball to the left with his right foot, and then hit the goal sideways with his left foot.

The ball made a small arc and flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal. St. Johnstone goalkeeper Smith made a flying movement to catch the ball, but it didn't help. The angle of the ball was too tricky for him to reach.

Goooooooooal~~~~~ The narrator's hissing shout resounded.

Bruce Lee~~~Beautiful breakthrough~~~Beautiful shot!!

Li broke through the opponent's three people at once,

Then he hit a very beautiful curve ball with his left foot which is not very good at! !

Dundee United scored in less than 10 minutes, it was a perfect start!!

Lee was in fantastic form today and the St Johnstone guys couldn't stop him at all.

After scoring the goal, Jackie Lee ran to the sidelines and made his signature celebration of punching the sky.

Bruce~~~Bruce~~~Bruce!!!

In the stands, Dundee United fans echoed him with neat cheers.

Bruce, good job, kill those Perth people! Li Chenglong seemed to have heard the voice of Old John.

St Johnstone are a club based in the Scottish city of Perth, so of course they are Perth natives.

The breakthrough just now is very spiritual. I feel that even if I go to the Bundesliga, I can still gain a foothold. In the stands, Xiao Xia and Brother Kang were also discussing.

That's why I brought you here to find some really interesting news to send back. This is much better than staying in Germany and wringing fingers every day to figure out when Gao Junmin will have a chance to appear on stage.

Conceding the goal in less than 10 minutes of the opening seemed to make it difficult for St. Johnstone to accept.

Because they actually took the lead, and with so much time left, they launched a desperate counterattack early on.

The meaning of being desperate is very simple, either I will kill you or you will kill me, that's how hard it is.

Dundee United, as the favored side, of course will not fight their opponents for bayonets. They just need to stabilize their formation and be ready to seize the opportunity to fight back.

In the 23rd minute, St. Johnstone's attack was intercepted, and Conway on the left quickly dribbled the ball back.

Conway came to the midfield and transferred the ball to Li Chenglong. At this time, St. Johnstone's defense line was leaking everywhere. Li Chenglong just caught the ball and turned around and sent it forward gently. Goodwell, who caught the ball, formed a single shot.

Goodwell didn't waste the opportunity, faced the goalkeeper pushing the far corner single-handedly, and easily rewritten the score to 2:0.

Less than half an hour into the game, the score has become 2:0. I believe this game will be as suspense-free as yesterday's game.

Bruce Lee has already completed one pass and one shot. Maybe he will create some records of his own in this game, such as his first hat-trick or something.

The commentator started the poisoned milk, and soon Li Chenglong was poisoned.

In the 36th minute, Dundee United got another chance to counterattack. Lee Chenglong counterattacked with the ball. The opposing defender Anderson rushed over and brought him down directly. Uncomfortable, some pain when pressed with fingers.

As a professional player, Li Chenglong quickly came to a conclusion that he should have strained the muscles on the back of his thigh.

Anderson received a yellow card for the foul. There is no doubt about it. His action just now was indeed a bit big, but Li who was knocked down has not been able to stand up. He may be injured.

If Li Zhen is injured, this may be a turning point in the game. After all, there is still more than half of the game.

During the commentator's analysis, the team doctor checked Li Chenglong on the field, and he was indeed strained.

Already flushed with anger, Peter Houston had to make a substitution, and the Senegalese Gomis came on to replace Jackie Lee.

Bruce, take a good rest first, we will win this game. Robertson, the team captain, said to him when he helped Li Chenglong off the field.

Well, I trust you guys.

Li Chenglong really believed it, because even if he was off, Dundee United was still a stronger side, and it shouldn't be a problem to win the game.

Do I have to rest for a long time for my strain? Li Chenglong was still a little worried when he was injured for the first time, so he asked the team doctor when he was sitting on the sidelines.

Don't worry, Bruce. Strain is the most common injury in professional athletes. Almost every athlete has been injured. The fastest is even a week or two to recover.

Hearing what the team doctor said, Li Chenglong felt relieved.
