Chapter 51: Semifinal

　　 On April 17, 2011, at 12:45 local time in the UK, the 2010/11 season of the Scottish FA Cup semi-final is about to begin.
　　 "Dundee United has basically locked the third place in the standings. Now they want to reach the FA Cup final and strive to complete the defense." The commentator talked about the topic before the opening.
"The Harts, who had been entangled with Dundee United in the standings for almost a whole season before, have become Dundee United supporters at this time. They are waiting for Dundee United to beat St. Johnstone and score. The finals."
"As long as Dundee United can defeat St. John Stone and enter the FA Cup final in this game, plus the Celtics have successfully advanced to the final yesterday, then the FA Cup champion this season will either belong to the Celtics or belong to Deng Di United are all teams that have already qualified for the European War. As the fourth place in the league, Hartz will also qualify for the European War next season."
"Previously, there have been media reports claiming that the Hartz home draw in the last round of the league was deliberately for the purpose of allowing Dundee United to continue to expand its advantage and prepare for this semi-final with peace of mind, so as to defeat St. Johnstone and help them Lock the European war qualifications."
　　 "Although the Hartz club does not admit this statement, many people still believe this conspiracy theory."
"However, St. Johnstone may not let Dundee United pass easily. In the FA Cup last season, Dundee United defeated St. Johnstone in the semifinals and eventually entered the final to win the championship. The two teams are in the semifinals this season. Encounter, St. Johnstone certainly does not want to be a loser all the time."
　　Hampton Park Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 people, has already been occupied by Dundee United fans and St. Johnstone fans.
　　 There is a huge "Champion belongs to Dundee United" banner on the stands, and there are other large and small support posters.
　　 With a whistle from Scottish referee James Wilson, the FA Cup semi-final has officially started.
　　 Dundee United kicked off the ball first. The ball came to Li Chenglong's feet after falling a few times in midfield. Li Chenglong held the ball forward and dialed the ball horizontally in front of the penalty area.
　　 The quality of the ball is not bad, the ball is close to the bottom line from the far post.
"Bruce Lee completed his first kick after the opening. Although he played very casually, the quality of this kick was good. It seems that he has continued his excellent form since the second half of the season. "
The narrator was praising Jackie Lee, but Worthers Clark, the coach of St. Johnstone on the sidelines, was upset and began to roar: "Look at him, what are you doing, look at the kid, don't let him do whatever he wants. "
　　 Although St. Johnstone does want to defeat Dundee and enter the final to compete for the championship, their overall strength is indeed not as good as Dundee United.
　　 After St. John Stone even failed to complete the first shot after the opening, Dundee United scored first.
In the 9th minute, Li Chenglong received a pass from the moon brother on the right side of the frontcourt. Faced with the St. John Stone midfielder Chris Mirall, Li Chenglong pretended to start, but quickly pulled the ball back. Just throw away the other party.
　　 After throwing away his opponent, Li Chenglong quickly started, accelerated forward, and obliquely killed the opponent's restricted area.
　　 St. John Stone guard Anderson and Dubley joined forces to flick, but Lee Chenglong stopped just after entering the penalty area, and let the two people close the flick, then moved the ball to the left with his right foot, and then hit the door with his left foot sideways.
　　 The ball hit a small arc and flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal. St. John Stone goalkeeper Smith made a fly-and-pump action, but it didn't help. The angle of the ball was so tricky that he couldn't reach it.
　　 "Goooooooooal~~~~~" The narrator's hiss rang loudly.
　　 "Bruce Lee~~~A beautiful breakthrough~~~A beautiful shot!!"
　　 "Lee broke through the opponent's three people at once, and then shot a very beautiful curve ball with his not very good left foot!!"
　　 "Dundee United scored a goal in less than 10 minutes after the start. It was a perfect start!!"
　　 "Lee is in a very good state today, and the people of St. Johnstone can't stop him."
　　 After scoring a goal, Li Chenglong ran to the sidelines and made his own signature gesture of celebrating with his fist to the sky.
　　 "Bruce~~~Bruce~~~Bruce!!!"
　　 In the stands, Dundee United fans echoed him with neat cheers.
　　 "Bruce, that's great, kill those Perthians!" Li Chenglong seemed to hear Old John's voice.
　　 St Johnstone is a club in Perth, Scotland, so of course they are from Perth.
　　 "This breakthrough just now is very spiritual, I feel that even if I go to the Bundesliga, I can still have a foothold." In the stands, Xiaoxia and Kang Ge are also discussing.
　　 "That's why I have to bring you here and find some really interesting news to send back. This is much better than staying in Germany and holding your finger every day to count Gao Junmin when he has a chance to appear on stage."
　　 Lost the ball less than 10 minutes after the opening, which seemed to make St. Johnstone a little unacceptable.
　　Because they actually took the lead, with so much time left, they launched a desperate counterattack early.
The meaning of 　　 desperate is very simple, either I kill you or you kill me.
　　 Dundee United, as a side in a favorable situation, of course will not fight the bayonet with their opponents. They only need to stabilize the formation and be ready to seize the opportunity to fight back.
　　 In the 23rd minute, St. John Stone's press attack was intercepted and Conway quickly counterattacked with the ball on the left.
Conway came to the midfield to transfer the ball to Li Chenglong. At this time, St. John Stone’s defense was leaking. Li Chenglong just received the ball and turned and sent it forward. The ball passed between the opposing defenders and went around. Goodwell, who received the ball, formed a single-handed move.
　　 Goodwell did not waste any chance, facing the goalkeeper single-handedly pushing the far corner, easily rewritten the score to 2:0.
　　 "The score has become 2:0 in less than half an hour. I believe this game will be the same as yesterday without suspense."
　　 "Bruce Lee has completed a pass and a shot. Maybe he will set some own records in this game, such as the first hat trick in his life. UU reading www.uukānshu.com"
　　The narrator started to poison milk, and then Li Chenglong was poisoned.
In the 36th minute, Dundee United got another chance to counterattack. Li Chenglong took the ball to counterattack. The defender Anderson rushed over and put him down. However, the Irishman who had already lost an eye-catching action made a lot of moves. It's uncomfortable, and it feels a little painful to press with a finger.
　　 As a professional player, Li Chenglong quickly came to a judgment that he should have strained the back muscles of his thighs.
　　 "The foul Anderson got a yellow card. There is no doubt about it. His action just now was a bit big, but Li has not been able to stand up, he may be injured."
　　 "If Li Zhen is injured, this may be a turning point in the game, after all, there is still more than half of the game."
　　 During the commentator's analysis, the team doctor came on the field to check Li Chenglong, and he was indeed strained.
　　 Peter Houston, who was already flushed with anger, had to make a substitution, and Senegalese Gomis came on to replace Lee Chenglong.
　　 "Bruce, take a good rest first, we will win this game." Roberson, the team captain, said to him while supporting Li Chenglong off the court.
　　 "Well, I believe you."
　　 Lee Chenglong really believes, because even if he is off the court, Dundee United is still the stronger side and winning the game shouldn’t be a problem.
　　 "Do I have to rest for a long time because of my strain?" Li Chenglong was still a little worried when he was injured for the first time, so he asked the team doctor when he was sitting on the sidelines.
　　 "Don't worry, Bruce. Strains are the most common injury among professional athletes. Almost every athlete has suffered a strain, and the fastest he can recover in one or two weeks."
　　 Hearing what the team doctor said, Li Chenglong felt relieved.
