Chapter 98: Number seven


   successfully won the league, and unexpectedly tied the top Celtics in league points. Dundee United can prepare for the Europa League with peace of mind.
   Schalke 04, as the fifth favourite to win the UEFA Europa League, is definitely stronger than Dundee United in strength. Dundee United is undoubtedly the weaker side.
   On the afternoon of March 7, the Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04 arrived in Scotland early.
   A strong enemy came, and the Dundee United fans were also very united. They specially organized a manpower to "greet" them along the way.
In the Europa League knockout stage, facing the top five league teams, and representing Scotland is another dark polo team. All this is very topical. A large number of Scottish media poured into the small city of Dundee to witness this A rare game.
   As the leader of this dark horse, Li Chenglong will of course be caught by the media for interviews.
"Schalke 04 is a very strong team. They once competed with Dortmund and Bayern Munich for the top spot in the Bundesliga standings. It can be considered that they are a Bundesliga championship team. There is no doubt about this game. It will be difficult."
"They have both Raul, a well-known and experienced veteran, Huntelaar, a top player at the peak, and even Draxler, a young talent in the Bundesliga. This is a defensive way for us. It will be a big test..."
Li Chenglong was right. Schalke 04 once competed with Bayern and Dortmund in the first half of this season. However, in the second half of the schedule, their successors were weak and they gradually fell behind, but they are also very stable among the top four teams in the Bundesliga. .
   The reason why Schalke 04 performed well this season is mainly due to the excellent condition of their striker Dutch center Huntelaar, who played the peak of his career.
  ※※※
   At 8 pm on March 8th, UK time, the first round of the Europa League round of sixteen, the Su Chao Dundee United home game against Bundesliga Schalke 04 is about to begin.
   And this game was also broadcast by Xinlang Sports in the far east.
   Sina Sports owns the copyright of the UEFA Champions League in the last two seasons, but they mainly broadcast the UEFA Champions League.
The Europa League’s attention is very low, and the game time is still late in the night, resulting in low ratings. It is completely incomparable with the Champions League. Advertising and other things are not sold. Basically, it will just pick some games. Just broadcast it.
   Even if there is a small well-known Chinese in the Europa League this season, this will not change the broadcast plan of Xinlang Sports.
   After all, it is not clear how much viewership a Chinese American can increase, and even if the viewership rate is really increased, it will not be able to attract ads immediately.
   In the group stage, Xinlang Sports basically chooses two games in each round of the top five leagues to broadcast. After entering the knockout rounds, there are more live broadcasts, but it is mainly the games of those strong teams.
  For example, in the previous thirty-two, they mainly broadcast Manchester United, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.
   And now that it has reached the top sixteen stage, this Schalke 04 game also appeared in their broadcast plan.
   Although the Europa League is indeed not attractive, Lee Chenglong, an Internet celebrity Chinese star, still has some attention.
   Before the game started, a group of people gathered in the live broadcast room to discuss.
   "Will Lee Chenglong play in this game?"
   "If he doesn't go, he still kicks a fart. That small Scottish team is supported by him alone. It is better to admit defeat without him."
   "If Li Chenglong doesn't get on, let's take a look at the chicken neck and go to sleep."
   "That's right, I waited for most of the night, just to see if that Li Chenglong is really as good as some people on the Internet say."
  ……
   When the Dundee United team entered the field, the shouts of the Tanatis Park Stadium with a capacity of less than 20,000 people were like a 100,000-dollar stadium.
   "Dundee Union~~~Go forward!!"
   "Dundee Union~~~Go forward!!"
   At this time, the unknown commentary arranged by Xinlang began to read the manuscript he had prepared in advance.
   "According to the starting lineup arranged by both sides before the game, Schalke 04's striker core Huntelaar did not appear in the starting lineup. This is good news for the Scottish small team Dundee United."
   "Huntelaar is currently the number one player in the Bundesliga scorer list after all. Even in Europe, he is also an efficient striker second only to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in European goals this season."
"Messi and Ronaldo are currently the only players in Europe who have scored more than one goal per game, and Huntelaar's efficiency is not less than that. He scored 33 goals in 34 games, which is infinitely close to an average. ball."
   "Schalke 04 gave a Huntelaar, but Dundee United is the main force. Some fans are concerned about the Chinese star Jackie Lee is also on the starting list."
   "Actually, Jackie Lee is also very efficient this season. I will read his statistics this season for everyone."
"So far this season, Li Chenglong has played 37 times for Dundee United in various competitions, scored 20 goals and sent 14 assists. This performance is actually very amazing, especially in the Europa League. There are already 7 goals and 3 assists, including a hat trick in the qualifying round..."
   Both sides stood still on the court, Lee Chenglong took a deep breath and waited for the game to start.
   I have to say that the opposing Schalke 04 lineup is indeed much stronger than Dundee United, the grassroots team.
   Schalke 04’s starting lineup for this game is 433,
   Goalkeeper: Tim Hildebrand;
   Defenders: Christian Fox, Matip, Papadopoulos, Uchida Atsushi;
   Midfielder: Lewis Holtby, Jermaine Jones, Marco Hogle;
   Forwards: Raul, Obasi, Marica.
   And this game Schalke 04 still has reservations. Their two key players, Huntelaar and Draxler, are sitting on the bench, obviously wanting to retain their energy and go back to play in the Bundesliga.
   In other words, Schalke 04 feels that playing Dundee United does not require all the main players. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
   Dundee United is the usual 442,
   Goalkeeper: Penis;
   Defenders: Barry Douglas, Paul Dixon, Gary Kenneth, Keith Watson;
   Midfielder: Craig Conway, David Robertson, Stuart Armstrong, Jackie Lee;
   Forwards: Vardy, Joan Daly.
   "The Spanish referee blew the whistle, and this Europa League round of sixteen matches have officially started..." Scottish commentators, German commentators and even Chinese commentators all said the same thing.
   At the beginning of the game, Dundee United kicked off the ball first. After the ball fell twice in the backcourt, it came to the foot of Li Chenglong on the right.
   Jackie Lee took the ball, and he happened to be Raul, the former Prince Bernabeu.
   Lee Chenglong sank his right shoulder and made a breakthrough to the right. After making a deceptive move, he immediately moved the ball back and quickly passed the ball from the left.
   "Li Chenglong~~~ he easily broke through Raul~~~" Xinlang's commentary was shocked, as if he had scored a goal.
   Raul was not a defensive player in the first place, and his defense was not good. Now he is old and it is completely normal to be broken by Jackie Lee.
   After breaking through Raul, he took a few steps forward, and before Austria left-back Fox came up, Lee Chenglong kicked a half-high ball and crossed the penalty area.
   It's a pity that both Vardy and Joan Daly's defensive players were stuck and failed to rush to catch the ball. Matip lowered his head in the penalty area to push the ball out.
   Although he failed to create a threat, the moment when Jackie Lee broke through Raul, he was still snapped by the reporter's camera.
   A Scottish League No. 7 star dribbled and broke through the former Bernabeu No. 7 Prince. This is still a topical issue.
