Chapter 78 Back to London

After winning the newly promoted Dunfermline in the away game, Dundee United will prepare for the Europa League match in the middle of last week.

The away game against Fulham in the middle of the week is absolutely critical. It will have a crucial impact on whether Dundee United can qualify from the group stage of this year's Europa League.

At present, both Dundee United and Fulham have accumulated 4 points in 3 rounds, plus Dundee United won the first round of the two teams.

So in the next game, if Dundee United can beat Fulham in an away game, they will lead the opponent by three points and have an advantage in the outcome. perfect result.

If you can't win the away game, try to draw as much as possible. After the tie, the two teams will have the same points. Dundee United can still overwhelm Fulham and rank ahead of the opponent by relying on the tie between home and away.

The worst kind is an away game loss, which will open up a three-point gap by Fulham. If you want to advance, you can only look at the opponent's face.

Of course, Dundee United is aware of the powerful relationship, and so can Fulham.

※※※

On the afternoon of November 2, British time, the Dundee United team arrived in London, England, one day in advance, where they will prepare for the next night's Europa League match.

This is the first time Jackie Chan has returned to London to play after he went to Scotland.

Outside the hotel where he was staying, Li Chenglong actually saw fans waiting for him here.

Bruce, come back to London, Crystal Palace needs your help. Seeing this sign, Lee Chenglong knew that the fans of Crystal Palace should be waiting for him here.

Li Chenglong went over to sign two of them, and asked by the way: What? Is the team's situation not good?

It's very bad. Since the beginning of the new season, it has been ranked in the middle and lower reaches. This season, it is likely that they will not be able to upgrade again.

After Li Chenglong left, he really didn't pay attention to the results of Crystal Palace. However, he seems to have heard that Crystal Palace only succeeded in relegation in the last few rounds last season. It seems that this season is also the same.

Didn't Zaha have outstanding talent?

How did you lead the team?

Bruce, are you going back to play at Crystal Palace?

Maybe, no one can tell what will happen in the future. Li Chenglong couldn't bear to reject them directly, so he had to say this.

On November 3rd, Thursday, at 7 pm, the fourth round of the Europa League group stage, Dundee United's away game against Fulham came.

Before the game started, the England commentator was already talking excitedly, but what they were talking about was not the topic of the game, but the important audience in the stands.

We've seen a lot of important people in the stands at the moment.

Just now the camera found Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger for us. Last weekend, the Gunners beat Chelsea 5-3 away in the London derby, and then drew with Ligue 1 Marseille at home two days ago. Although the Gunners are currently in the Champions League It is not a big problem to qualify, but the situation in the domestic league is not so good, so Wenger personally went to the Craven Stadium to inspect the players, probably because he wants to strengthen during the winter transfer period.

Wenger personally responded before, claiming that Bruce Lee is still in Arsenal's plan. This does not seem to be just talking casually. Arsenal is really interested in Lee.

In addition, we also saw Manchester United assistant, Mike Phelan, Ferguson's right-hand man, McDermott, director of youth training at Tottenham, and Crystal Palace manager Dodge Friedman.

This game has really attracted a lot of attention. There is no doubt that they are all here for Bruce Lee, but I think Coach Friedman can go back early. With Lee's current reputation and attention, he should not Will go back to Crystal Palace to play again.

Even if Lee doesn't go to giants like Manchester United and Arsenal, he can go to competitive Premier League teams like Tottenham and Everton. It is basically impossible to play in the British Championship again.

Before the match, Jackie Lee knew that Wenger would come to watch the match. He was in London anyway, so it was very convenient, but he really didn't expect that people from other teams would also come.

However, Jackie Lee knew that there were fans of Crystal Palace in the stands today, because he saw slogans such as Crystal Palace VS Fulham and London Derby in the Europa League.

But no matter who came to watch the game live, what Lee Chenglong wanted was to help the team win Fulham, so as to take the lead in the Europa League group stage.

However, Fulham probably has the same idea as Dundee United, and they also want to beat Dundee United to take the lead.

Although Craven Farm Stadium is a relatively small stadium in the Premier League, with a capacity of only more than 25,000, the momentum created by Fulham fans in this game is not small at all.

Amidst the shouts of the home fans, Fulham launched an offensive at the beginning, trying to win the first place.

Just 5 minutes into the game, the former Irish winger Madame Duff broke through Keith Watson and cut inside to hit the goal. He played a very threatening kick. Fortunately, Penis concentrated and flew to resolve the ball.

In the ninth minute, Fulham crossed from the wing and their center forward Bobby Zamora grabbed the point inside the penalty area, but Paul Dixon interfered and deflected the ball wide.

Fulham launched consecutive offensives at the beginning, but it was Dundee United who scored first.

In the 27th minute, Fulham launched an offensive again, but the ball was cut off by David Robertson in the midfield, and then transferred to the feet of Li Chenglong.

Li Chenglong took the ball and started immediately. He threw away the Nigerian Etura next to him when he started. Then he stepped on his bicycle and suddenly accelerated, and then passed the American Dempsey. Then he kicked obliquely. Passed through the gap and successfully reached the feet of Vardy who succeeded in anti-offside.

Vardy faced the opponent's goalkeeper Schwarzer single-handedly, and volleyed the ball vigorously into the lower left corner of the goal.

Valdy single-handedly scored and scored his first goal in the European war, but he needs to thank Bruce more for this goal.

Bruce dribbled the ball past two opponents in a row, and then sent a precise pass. I think this assist is a good indication of his strength. The people in the stands should be decisive. Socrates commented as always It is for Lee Chenglong to show his merits.

Fulham's aggressive offensive at the beginning failed to pay off. Instead, they were hit by a counterattack first. The Fulham fans were a little downcast, but the Dundee United fans who were present were very happy, and there were even Crystal Palace fans. Shouting the slogan Crystal Palace 1:0 Fulham.

But Fulham did not give up their offense because of this. When Dundee United celebrated the end of the game and restarted, they launched a continuous offensive again.

In the 34th minute, Fulham finally equalized with a header from striker Andrew Johnson after Duff broke through from the wing.

The two teams have returned to the same starting line. This result is fair and acceptable to both parties.

For the rest of the first half, the two teams played a little conservatively, and the slow see-saw battle did not want to give the other side too many opportunities.

But it was under such circumstances that Li Chenglong found another opportunity.

In the 45th minute, when the first half just entered stoppage time, Li Chenglong passed and cooperated with Langhini on the right, and after receiving the ball near the bottom line, he started to cut inside, and went into the penalty area along the bottom line to speed up. Passed the old Riise, then played a half-high ball and crossed the ball to the goal.

With Joan Daly and Vardy hitting the goal in front of the goal, Fulham defender Kelly, who rushed over first, could only take the risk of intercepting. He raised his left foot and wanted to clear the ball in advance.

But his position was too close to the goal, and Li Chenglong passed another half-high ball. The ball hit his calf firmly and flew directly into the goal after rebounding.

Goooooooal~~~~~

Own goal~~~This is an own goal~~~The opposing defender scored an own goal!!

The Englishman's shot is very beautiful. He can apply to the head coach to change careers and become a striker.

The Scottish commentator did not hesitate to laugh at the opponent's defender, but the England commentator was making excuses for him.

Kelly can't be blamed for this ball. Bruce Lee's pass made him too uncomfortable. His clearance is very likely to result in an own goal, but if he doesn't clear the siege, the opponent's two forwards have arrived in front of the goal, and the goal is certain.

Even if the coach is allowed to make the choice, this kind of ball must take a risk. There is a 10% or even 20% chance of escaping disaster if you take a risky clearance, but the probability of escaping disaster is definitely less than 1% if you let the ball pass. .”
