The national team game day is over. For Dundee United, the most critical month of the season has arrived.
In the next month, Dundee United will play five league games that are related to the final championship. At the same time, there are two very difficult Europa League semi-finals. If you have played in the semi-finals, you have to prepare for one. Europa League final.
"As far as the current results are concerned, Dundee United has been considered a success this season. They won a League Cup title and locked in a Champions League qualification. They became another non-qualified champion after the 2006 Hartz. An established team, but this kind of success can only be regarded as ordinary success."
"If Dundee United can continue to exert strength in the next month and beat the Celtics to win the Soviet Super League championship, it will be considered a great success."
"Even when they beat the Celtics to win the championship, they can also win the Europa League this season. It will be a super success..."
When I got up in the morning, Li Chenglong saw Old John lying on the sofa and watching TV. On the sports channel on the TV, the interviewer was saying this.
On April 14, in the 34th round of the Super League, Dundee United went to an away game to challenge St. Johnstone.
This season’s Premier League, Dundee United and Celtics have locked up two UEFA Champions League qualifications, and there will be three UEFA Champions League qualifications. Weir, St. Johnstone and Hartz compete.
So in this game, St. Johnstone wants to make a difference at home.
But Dundee United did not give them a chance. They scored a goal each in the second half and won the game with a score of 2:0.
Lee Chenglong sent out an assist, while also indirectly forcing the opponent to beat one less.
At the beginning of the second half, Li Chenglong hit the arm of the opponent Spaniard Fran Sandasa with a pass, and the referee came over and gave him a yellow card.
But this guy refused to accept, rushed to the referee and yelled, thinking that he was a hitter, he did not intentionally hit the ball with his hands.
So because of the roar of the referee, this guy immediately got the second yellow card and was sent off.
Dundee United was thus able to play one more man, and then Li Chenglong sent out assists to seal the victory.
While Dundee United won the away game, the Celtics also won 3:0 away from Motherwell.
So the point difference between the two teams has not changed, and the Celtics continue to lead Dundee United by one point.

After winning St. Johnstone, the Dundee United team quickly returned to Dundee, preparing for the Europa League semi-finals in midweek.
On April 18th, Diego Simeone came to Scotland with the bed sheet army, and many British media went to the airport to meet them.
Atletico Madrid is already a La Liga powerhouse, and there are many stars in the team.
There is the famous Tiger Falcao on the front line, known as the king of the Europa League, the midfielder has the Brazilian Diego, who was once famous in Germany, the rapidly rising Turan Turan, the famous Spanish star Cork, etc., and the defending line Uruguayan Godin is also very famous, as well as the Belgian goalkeeper Courtois in the La Liga fire.
Atletico Madrid not only has many stars, but also the head coach Diego Simeone is very topical.
In the 1998 World Cup, Beckham's red card was very famous, and Simeone was the direct maker of that red card.
This is the first time that Simeone has set foot on British soil after the end of the player era of Simeone. The British media naturally have to seize the opportunity and make a good hype.
Even the media in England have rushed to Scotland.
When he came out of the airport, Simeone was the superstar of Atletico Madrid, and many reporters came to him.
"Coach Simeone, there is a super rookie Bruce Lee in Dundee United. He is called the Beckham of Scotland by the fans, you know?"
"Have you thought about how to defend this new Beckham?"
"Do you think of any way to make his red card?"
……
Simeone remained silent and walked forward with a black face.
Followed behind him, Falcao, who could not understand English, said strangely: "The coach is so popular in the UK. Almost all reporters go to him."
Since joining Atletico Madrid, Falcao has been the most popular in the Atletico Madrid team, and reporters have been rushing to interview him wherever he plays.
But this time, Falcao felt left out.
And Courtois, who could understand English and knew Simeone and Beckham back then, looked black and didn't know how to explain it.

At 8pm UK time on April 19th, the first round of the Europa League semi-final is about to start.
In this game, the momentum of Tanatis Park Stadium was very impressive.
The home fans all wear yellow players uniformly. The yellow flags on the stands are dancing around, and there is a big Jigsaw Jackie Lee portrait puzzle.
"This is the first time that Dundee United has reached the semi-finals of the European War in 25 years. It is also the third time in the history of their team that they have reached the semi-finals of the European War. So Dundee United fans are very excited and enthusiastic."
"Moreover, Dundee United's opponents are also very strong this time. Although Atletico Madrid did not perform well in the first half of the season, their results have steadily climbed since Simeone took over at the end of December, and they have climbed from 10th in the La Liga standings. At the current fifth place, there is still a chance to compete for a Champions League qualification."
"And they performed better in the Europa League. Since Simeone took over, Atletico Madrid have won the Europa League."
"In other words, in the previous knockouts, they all advanced with double-kill opponents. Their double-kill opponents include Serie A Lazio, Turkey Super Besiktas, Portuguese Super League Lisbon, and they are all very powerful teams. ."
"So this game is definitely a huge challenge for Dundee United."
The Scottish commentator is talking about the strength of Atletico Madrid, while the Chinese commentator on the heart wave is talking about the data of Jackie Lee.
"At present, Lee Chenglong and Huntelaar are still tied for the top of the European Union scorers with 9 goals, but Falcao has already caught up behind him. Falcao has scored 8 goals, only Lee Chenglong has one goal. ."
"So this series is not just a battle for the final spot, but also a battle for the Europa League Golden Boot."
"Falcao not only helped the Portuguese Super League to win the championship in the Europa League last season, he also scored 18 goals very explosively, becoming the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the European War. Because of this, he has the title of King of the Europa League."
"And this season, Falcao obviously has the intention of defending the Europa League Golden Boot, and Jackie Lee is the stumbling block in front of him."
When everything is ready~EbookFREE.me~ This much-watched Europa League semi-final has officially started.
At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid was very polite and took the initiative to give up the ball and let Dundee unite to attack.
So amidst the cheers of the home fans, Dundee united for 20 minutes, only to find that every offensive he made was like hitting a copper wall and iron wall. Not only did he not create a threat, but the opponent's quick counterattack nearly scored.
Peter Houston on the sidelines began to scratch his head, and he turned his head to look at the guy with a big face in the coaching area on the other side and found that he seemed to underestimate the opponent.
Houston originally thought that the opponent was just a temporary firefighting coach with no level. A bunch of talented players in the team, but he counterattacked with a very conservative defense, this level is definitely not high.
But now when I see the truth, I find that this defense is definitely not tuned by ordinary coaches. Dundee United seems to have become a tiger, and there is no way to talk.
Lee Chenglong felt the most obvious on the court. He didn't feel how good the opponent's defense was before playing against the two German teams.
In this game, Li Chenglong discovered that the opponent can always limit the pass of his teammates to him, and he has never received a comfortable pass.
Even if he barely received the pass, someone around him was struggling to interfere immediately, and the force of a great deal was lost, and the other defender suddenly appeared in front of him.
Li Chenglong can be regarded as a real experience, what is suffocation defense.
