Chapter 72: Unfavorable situation

　　 At 8:05pm UK time on September 14, Dundee United’s Europa League group debut arrived.
　　 Dundee United’s opponent in the first round of the group stage is Odense of the Danish Premier League, which is considered by the Scottish media to be the weakest team in Dundee United’s group.
　　 In fact, Odense was the second place in the Danish League last season. He is eligible for the Champions League, but he was eliminated by the La Liga yellow submarine in the Champions League play-offs before he fell to play in the Europa League.
But even so, Odense is still considered by the Scottish media to be the weakest in the group. Dundee United wants to qualify in the group and must score six points in both games against Odense, and then Fulham and Twente try to grab points, this is the correct way to open the Dundee United team to qualify.
　　 The Tanatis Park stadium this evening was completely covered by bright yellow. Amidst the excitement of Dundee United fans, Dundee United and Odense drew 2:2.
　　 Odense took the lead twice, Dundee United equalized twice, and the two defenders who scored for Dundee United were Paul Dixon and Barry Douglas.
　　 Lee Chenglong’s performance is very average. He is not the best performer on the team, but it is not the worst. The corner kick that Paul Dixon scored with a header was created by Jackie Lee.
　　 Obviously, Li Chenglong has not been able to get back to good shape.
　　 Odense, who should be the weakest group in the main scene, only got a draw. Now the Scottish media are not very optimistic about Dundee United, and they begin to think that Dundee United may find it difficult to get out of this group.
　　 "The group stage is a six-round match. We just didn't achieve the desired result in the first round. I don't think that can conclude that Dundee United will not qualify for the group." Li Chenglong had to answer in an interview after the match.
　　 Lee Chenglong is not wrong. Although he failed to win Odense at home, he still scored one point. This result is barely acceptable.
　　 The other game in the same group also failed to tell the winner. Fulham drew with Twente 1:1 at home.
　　 So after the first round of the group stage, the four teams in Group K of Dundee United only scored 1 point.
　　 After the Europa League group match in the middle of the week, it will soon be the weekend match day.
　　 On September 17, in the 8th round of the Super League, Dundee United vs. Inverness at home.
　　 Dundee United won the game very easily. The goals from Lunar Brother, Robertson and Joan Daley allowed Dundee United to win the opponent 3:1 at home.
　　 In the Glasgow derby that was going on at the same time in this round, the Rangers won the Celtics 4:2 at home and returned to the top of the list again, and Dundee United's ranking also rose by one.
　　 At present, the Rangers and Dundee United are both 19 points, and the Celtics have 18 points. The points of the three teams are very tight.
　　 It is Motherwell who defeated St. John Stone 0:3 at home this round, which meant that she would be left behind.
　　 Lee Chenglong had neither scored nor assisted in two consecutive games. The Scottish media began to notice, but their reports were more of "Bruce Lee finally came out of that horrible state and returned to normal".
　　※※※

　　 On September 20th, the top 16 of the Scottish League Cup kicked off. Dundee United's opponent was the Su B team Airdrie United.

　　 Andrew Robertson, who got the starting chance in this game, performed well. He participated in both of the team's goals, and the second goal was a direct assist from him.
　　 In the eighth draw after the top sixteen, Dundee United won Falkirk, a Soviet League team.
　　 In fact, the result of this draw is not good, because Falkirk just eliminated the Glasgow Rangers 3:2 in the top 16 and created a super upset.
　　 Although the current situation of the Rangers is a bit bad and the team is a bit turbulent, no one thought that they would be eliminated by a Russian team.
　　 After the end of the League Cup, the weekend league came soon.
　　 On September 24th, in the 9th round of the Su Super League, Dundee United went to an away game to challenge Xi Bai Nian.

　　 In this game, the striker duo Joan Daly and Vardy scored twice respectively, and Vardy finally scored twice and is about to scream again.
　　 After winning the Hi Hundred Years, Dundee United needs to rush to the European continent to participate in the second round of the Europa League group stage.
　　 Dundee United’s opponent is Twente, who is considered the strongest team in this group.
　　 Twente was the Eredivisie runner-up last season and qualified for the Champions League, but was eliminated by Benfica in the Champions League play-offs.
　　 Last season, Twente was still the Eredivisie champion.
　　 You must know that the Eredivisie is a tri-strong league. It is a great achievement to be able to steal the championship from the top three.
　　 At the De Gerols Stadium in the Netherlands, Jackie Lee felt that his performance was pretty good.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Li Chenglong received a pass from the moon brother in the middle of the front court, and smashed the opponent midfielder Lanzart to take a long shot. The ball hit the opposing defender Shetra and made a small deflection.

　　 only scored one point in two rounds. Dundee United is really in a hurry to qualify.
　　 Back to Scotland early the next morning, the Dundee United team was blocked by Scottish reporters at Edinburgh Airport.
　　 Dundee is a small city with only a small airport and no international flights, so I can only fly to Edinburgh to fight the European War.
　　 "Houston coach, do you think Dundee United can still qualify from the group stage?"
　　 "Paul (Dixon), when you scored the first goal in the away game, you loosely cooperated and lost three goals in a row. Is there a conflict between the team's defenders?"
　　 "Bruce, you pass and shoot in the away game, but the team can't even get a point. Have you been disappointed in your teammates?"
　　……
　　 A series of problems bombarded the Dundee United team, and everyone can only choose to avoid it.
　　 But as the star of the team, Jackie Lee simply answered two sentences.
　　 "It is everyone's responsibility to lose, and no one can be an exception, including me."
　　 "Only one point in two rounds, this is not the end, we still have four rounds to remedy."
　　 "Some teams only score one point in three rounds, and they can all make it to the knockout round. Besides, we only score one point in two rounds?"
