Chapter 50: Press conference

　　 Dundee United defeated the Glasgow Rangers 3:2 away, but at the end of the game, the boos in the Eblox Stadium were much smaller than at the opening.
　　The reason is that in another game at the same time, the Celtics lost two goals in the last 10 minutes of the away game, and lost to Inverness by an upset 2:3. Although the Rangers lost at home, they were not opened by the Celtics.
　　 This defeat of the Rangers is also the first time that Dundee United defeated the two old hooligans this season. Lee Chenglong, who passed and shot, became the focus of the interview after the game.
　　 "Being able to beat the Rangers, this is the result of our team's concerted efforts. I am very happy to be able to take away three points from this stadium."
　　 "Whether the Celtics or the Rangers will win the league championship, we don't care, we just need to play every game of our own."
　　 "The FA Cup is our goal. We have reached the semi-finals. No one wants to win the championship."
　　 "I have no intention to transfer right now. I have a very happy time in Dundee United."
　　……
　　 Li Chenglong casually dealt with a few words, then went to the sidelines to sign the fans.
　　 When he was still playing before, Jackie Lee saw a few posters holding Chinese posters supporting his fans on the side of the stadium.
　　 "Li Chenglong, your breakthrough just now was too powerful."
　　 "A free kick is also good."
　　 "Your Chinese characters are pretty good."
　　 Li Chenglong randomly accepted a Chinese poster to sign. He didn't know whether the fans who supported him were Chinese who have immigrated to Europe or Chinese who came to Europe to study or work.
　　 With the rise in popularity, Lee Chenglong has become a small celebrity star in the UK.
　　 Although it is difficult to see Chinese in a small city like Dundee, there are still many Chinese in a big city like Glasgow.

　　 The day after Dundee United defeated the Rangers 3:2 away, Hartz drew 2:2 with Hibainian in the Edinburgh city derby, and it was not surprising to lose points.
　　 Hartz lost two points this round, so the points gap between Dundee United and Hartz widened to 8 points.
　　 There are 7 rounds left in the league, 8 points ahead of each other, Dundee United’s third place is basically stable, and the team has officially started preparing for the FA Cup semi-finals.
　　 But before the FA Cup semi-final, Dundee United has another league to play, and the opponent happens to be the FA Cup semi-final, St. Johnstone.
　　 On April 9, the 32nd round of the Super League, Dundee United vs. St. Johnstone.
　　 This match, which the media called the FA Cup semi-final preview, was actually quite ordinary.
　　 St. Johnstone currently has no needs in the standings. It does not matter to them whether they win or lose in this game. They only want to win the FA Cup now to qualify for the European competition next season.
　　 Dundee United is already 8 points ahead of the Hartz in the standings. The demand for points is also not high. There is room for fault tolerance to give up a round for the FA Cup semi-finals.
　　 At the same time, both teams have concerns about tactical secrecy, so the two teams coincidentally did not arrange the strongest lineup to play.
　　 Dundee United is a semi-main lineup. Li Chenglong, Goodwell and other important players have not started, and St. Johnstone has a full bench lineup.
　　 There was no big surprise. Dundee United relied on Russell and Robertson's goals to easily win St. Johnstone 2:0 at home.
　　 And in other games in this round, Hartz, who had a slim chance of hitting third place, was a bit of a break, and they had another 0-0 draw with Motherwell at home.
　　 Hartz suffered two consecutive league draws, allowing Dundee United to directly open the points gap to 10 points, which is already a gap of four games.
　　 There are only 6 league rounds left, with a 10-point gap, Dundee United just needs to wait to see if it is locked in third place in the league a few rounds in advance.
　　 That's good, Dundee United only needs to prepare for the FA Cup final with peace of mind.
　　 Given the current strength and status of Dundee United, passing the semi-finals is not a big problem.

　　 Glasgow International Airport, two men wearing white baseball caps are coming out of the airport exit.
　　 The two talked as they walked, and the Chinese words kept spitting out of their mouths caused people passing by to look back at them from time to time, but the two only talked to themselves and did not care.
　　 "Brother Kang, is it as good as you said?" asked the slightly younger man who was less than 30 years old.
　　 "Xia Xia, didn't I let you watch the video. That kid is the most popular star player in the Super League this season. He is still only 18 years old." Kang Ge, who is about 40 years old, replied.
Kang continued to say: "It's fine to do in Germany anyway. Gao Junmin seems to have no chance to play this season. Maybe he will have to pack it back to China after playing this year. We are all journalists based in Europe. , Have to find other news?"
　　 "You are right." Xiao Xia echoed.
　　 "It's getting dark now, let's go find a place to rest for one night, and we will be there early tomorrow." Kang Ge reached out and touched the cigarette in his pocket, thinking about it, and putting it back.
　　 "Do we have any reporter interviewers?" Xiaoxia asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I've been ready a long time ago." Kang said triumphantly: "The FA Cup of Su Chao is not the FA Cup of the Premier League. There is not much attention at all. I have been in the UK for so many years. Is an interview card not easy?"

　　 April 17, the second match day of the FA Cup semi-final.
　　 In the previous day's game, the Celtics easily defeated Aberdeen 4-0 and entered the final ahead of schedule.
　　 Today, Dundee United and St. Johnstone will determine the second place for the finals in this game ~EbookFREE.me~.
The start time of the 　　 game is scheduled at 12:45 noon, so the pre-match press conferences of both teams are scheduled in the morning.
　　 Lee Chenglong has gradually grown into a thigh-level figure in Dundee United, and naturally followed Peter Houston and captain David Robertson to attend the pre-match press conference.
　　 While answering questions from reporters normally, Li Chenglong suddenly heard the voice calling him in Chinese: "Li Chenglong~~~ here."
　　 Li Chenglong looked in the opposite direction of the voice, and saw two Chinese reporters squeezed at the end. It seemed that he had not been given the opportunity to ask questions, so he directly called out his name.
　　 This is the first time that Li Chenglong saw a Chinese reporter at a press conference in Scotland. Although he didn't know where these two guys came from, he still reached out and clicked on them, which meant asking them to ask questions.
　　 "Bruce, I heard that you grew up in China?" The two reporters were smart enough to change their English to ask questions.
"um, yes."
　　 "Then how long have you not been back to China?"
　　 "Uh, it's been several years, maybe five or six years."
　　……
　　 The questions of these two Chinese journalists quickly caused a buzzing sound of discussion in the conference hall.
This is the pre-match press conference of the FA Cup semi-finals. These two Asian reporters who don’t know where they come from did not mention anything about the semi-finals. They kept asking about the topic of China. This is a brain disease. right?
　　The staff presiding over the press conference didn't look right, so they hurriedly asked other familiar reporters to ask questions, lest the press conference become a routine.
　　 The two Chinese reporters seemed to have some ideas, but they still closed up slightly unhappy.
