Chapter 15: Against the rhythm

　　 On August 22, the second round of the Soviet Super League, Dundee United played against the newly promoted Inverness at home. This game may be based on the weak opponents, perhaps at the request of the fans, Peter Houston arranged for Lee Chenglong to start.
　　 Since the UEFA Cup qualifiers, Jackie Lee's popularity among Dundee United fans has always been high.
　　 But in this game, Li Chenglong did not perform very well, it can even be said to be a bit bad.
　　 During the self-review after the game, Li Chenglong found that he had been in a fight with the opposing defender almost most of the time. A wide player who mainly creates opportunities for his teammates by breaking through and passing the ball, the whole game is caught in a fight with his opponent, the result will certainly not be too good.
　　 But Jackie Lee is not the worst performance of the team. This summer, Dundee United’s newly-introduced forward Kadamatri is the worst performer.
Dundee United’s strength is not worse than that of the opponent. Even if Jackie Lee does not perform well on the right side, other midfielders have created a lot of opportunities, but Houston has high hopes and is tactically arranged to act as the team's striker. Kadamatri's continuous wasted opportunities led to the team's continuous counterattack.
　　 In the end, Dundee United defeated Inverness at home 0:4.
　　 "Previously, they only lost three goals against Liverpool at home. This time they lost four against a newly promoted horse. You are so kind!!" This is what Li Chenglong heard when he left the game after the game.
　　 Li Chenglong discovered that it seems that the Super League is not something he can easily play. His technical attributes are probably almost enough, but his physical attributes are not enough.
　　 The league on the British Isles obviously requires higher physical attributes than technical attributes.
　　 As for the game against Liverpool, it was more like Jackie Lee caught the opponent by surprise.
　　 After the recent period of training and adaptation, Li Chenglong's various values ​​in the system have also increased. His technical attributes have increased to 67 points, his physical attributes have increased to 62 points, and his mental attributes have also increased a little, reaching 74 points.
As for the talent cards, the fusion degree of the flank fast horse talent cards has risen to 40%, and the fusion degree of the Moon Scimitar talent cards has risen to 25%. The next talent card is still eight points away from lighting up the next talent card. The fusion degree of the full moon scimitar of percent.
　　 Since the match against Liverpool, he has been hitting a wall continuously. Li Chenglong was also a little anxious. He called Luka Savage and talked about his current problems.
　　 "Bruce, the body fights against this kind of thing, the body is the foundation, but the players can also adapt." Savage gave Li Chenglong advice.
　　 "Some players don't look strong, but they can play well in the Premier League. That's because they can find the rhythm of physical confrontation."
"Although you are currently at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, you are not to the point where you can't play at all. Your biggest problem at the moment is that you have just moved from the youth team to the adult team. You haven't found the physical confrontation rhythm for the adult team. "
　　 "As long as you can find this rhythm as soon as possible, I believe you can play a key role in the Dundee United team."
　　 After listening to Savage’s enlightenment, Li Chenglong was somewhat optimistic, trying his best to find the so-called rhythm in training.

　　 On August 28, in the third round of the Super League, Dundee United went to Edinburgh to challenge the local team Hartz.
Hartz can be regarded as the traditional powerhouse of the Soviet Super League. Although he has never won a league title, he has won many FA Cup titles. At the same time, he is the only non-established Scottish ball that has won the Champions League qualification after the Champions League reform. team.
　　 The so-called time-honored teams are naturally the Glasgow Rangers and Celtics. The Glasgow derby between the two teams is also known as the Scottish time-honored derby.
　　 In fact, the Scottish League has been dominated by two time-honored teams since its inception.
　　 So far, the Scottish top league has been held for 114 years, and in these 114 years, only 13 championships belong to neither the Glasgow Rangers nor the Celtics.
　　 It can be seen that the time-honored brand has a strong dominance in Scottish football.
　　 After the restructuring of the Champions League, most of the time in the Soviet Super League have two UEFA Champions League qualifications, and these two qualifications have been occupied by the Celtics and Rangers almost every year.
　　 The only exception was the 05/06 season, when Hartz unexpectedly overpowered the Rangers to win second place in the Soviet Super League that season. Hartz became the only non-established team to participate in the Champions League after the Champions League reform.
　　 In the away game against the strong Hartz, Dundee United played not badly. After falling behind by one goal in the first half, they equalized in the second half and finally won a draw away.
For this game alone, it is acceptable for Dundee United to win a draw against the not-weak Hartz, but judging from all Dundee United's games since the start of the new season, this draw is not enough. Looked.
　　 There are currently three rounds of the Soviet Super League. Dundee United's result is 2 draws, 1 loss and 2 points, temporarily ranking second in the Soviet Super League standings.
　　 The Scottish media "Herald Sports" commented on Dundee United's recent performance.
"As the FA Cup champions of last season, Dundee United, their performance in this year's league qualifiers is still acceptable. After all, they won the Premier League giants Liverpool. Although they were eventually eliminated, UUkanshu www.uukānshu.com Also got a tie at Anfield."
　　 "However, since the beginning of the league, Dundee United has lost points one after another. Now, after three games, Dundee United has not won a single victory. Only two draws ranked second from the bottom of the standings. This result is really surprising."
　　 "Peter Houston may need sleeping pills to fall asleep in the last few nights. If the team continues like this, the patience of Dundee United management will soon be exhausted, and his get out of class time will not be too far."
"For now, Peter Houston needs a redemption, Dundee United needs a key figure to stand up and save the team. Kadamatri, who had previously been optimistic about Houston and played for Everton, obviously couldn't do such a thing. Although Houston has arranged him as the core of the team for three consecutive games, he is obviously old and can no longer take on important tasks."
　　 "Bruce Lee who surprised everyone at Anfield before. Although he is very talented, he is obviously too young and needs time to grow."
　　 "In short, if Dundee United cannot quickly get back to form, they are likely to be dragged into the relegation circle by the European war curse like those small teams that occasionally qualify for the European War..."
　　 In European football, there is indeed a strange phenomenon. Some small teams accidentally qualified for a European war, and then inexplicably fall into a relegation cycle in the next season, and may even be relegated.
And it’s strange that many small teams won the European competition by accident. They obviously left early in the qualifying round of the European competition. There is no problem of multi-line combat at all, but they are still trapped in the relegation cycle, which makes people unable to find a reason. .
　　 This situation is called the European War Curse by some people. I finally got a European War, but didn't get anything, and finally demoted.
