Chapter 9: Dundee United

　　 July 28, Dundee, a small town in Scotland.
　　 "Daniel, wait for me, don't go so fast."
　　 "Hurry up, Oliver, today is the first public training day for the team in the new season, I don't want to miss it."
　　 "Don't worry, time is still too late, we don't have to worry so much."
　　 "You can't walk anymore, hey, buddy, you really should lose weight."
　　 "Come on, as long as the French fries and cola on the earth are not extinct, I can't lose weight."
Dundee United’s home stadium Tanatis Park, many fans wearing Dundee United’s yellow jerseys are entering the stadium. Among them, a fat youth and a short and thin youth are chattering while walking, which is particularly annoying. Attention.
　　 The two entered the court, found the front position, looked at the players who had been warming up on the court, and started to discuss again.
　　 "Our team's lineup does not seem to have changed much?" asked the short young man Daniel.
"I know this best. I pay attention to the team's movements every minute." Fat Oliver began to show his insights: "The braided black mixed-race player over there. That was our first league game. The forward Danny Kadamatri introduced by Huddersfield, he has played in the Premier League Everton for several seasons, but he is 31 years old this year, I don’t know how much he can play."
　　 "A veteran of the League One, can still play the British championship?" The short Daniel expressed doubt.
"You should have the impression that the tall guy over there. He was Hartz's backup goalkeeper Steve Banks last season. Now that the contract expires and transferred to us, he should also be the team's backup goalkeeper. After all, he is 36 years old. ."
　　 "What kind of players are this signing? A veteran that others don't use? A striker from League One?" The shorter one is obviously unhappy with Dundee United's signings.
　　 "We are not an oil-rich team like Manchester City. We are just a small team. Don't we sign in like this every season?" Fat Oliver told the truth.
　　 "But in two days we are going to play the UEFA Cup qualifiers. How can we play UEFA Cup with these players?" This is the biggest reason why the short Daniel is unhappy.
"Maybe the club didn't think too much about the UEFA Cup issue, and we won Liverpool, and... basically...no longer have to consider the UEFA Cup issue." Fat Oliver could not help but feel a little depressed: "But we also learned from the youth The team has promoted several young players. I hope they can perform well."
　　 "That's Barry Douglas, a very promising defender in the youth team, and that Stuart Armstrong, the talented midfielder of our youth team, and Ryan Dang, who can score goals very well in the youth team..."
Fat Oliver was still showing his insights, and was quickly interrupted by the short Daniel: "Okay, I know what you said, but who is that guy over there? Why have I never seen it? It's also a youth team promotion Did it come up? Or was it introduced from another team?"
　　 "Uh..." The fat man was obviously stopped by the question. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know too much. From an age perspective, it may be a newly recruited player for the youth team, but the opponent seems to be an Asian?"
　　 "Wait for me to check." The fat Oliver quickly took out his cell phone and began to search for useful information on the club's official website and fan forums.
　　 After only a few minutes, Fat Oliver found useful information: "If you have it, it should be him."
　　 "He is the club's young player on loan from the British crown team Crystal Palace. He was born in 1993 and is only 17 years old this year. His name is...Bruce Lee."
　　 "Bruce Lee...?" The fat Oliver and the short Daniel screamed loudly at the same time, with obvious doubts.
　　 "Hey, isn't this guy real? Will he suddenly go forward and kick his opponent's teeth when he is upset when he is playing a game?"
　　 "Wait, I remember. When I was in the fan bar some time ago, I heard that Old John has a grandson who is a genius of the Crystal Palace youth team and is considering a transfer to our club."
　　 "Old John? The old John of the court director? John Lee?"
　　 "Yes, it's him, but how does his grandson look like an Asian?"
　　 "It may be of Asian descent."

　　 Lee Chenglong, as the whole team finished routine training on the court, soon the group confrontation would begin.
　　 "Be energized, energize!" The team assistant Toby Harrison was shouting.
　　 Today is the first public training for Dundee United before the start of the new season. The coaching staff hopes that everyone will show their confidence and give confidence to the fans who come to support.
　　 Li Chenglong came to Dundee on the 25th. On the 26th, he spent a day simply going through the various procedures for the loan transfer. On the 27th, Li Chenglong started training with the whole team yesterday.
I have to say that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do things. In the past, when Jackie Lee was in the Crystal Palace, he most often heard words like "patient" or "you are still young". When he came to Dundee United, he could immediately play with the first team. Get training together.
　　 In fact, Dundee United’s preparations for the new season started in early July, because the team won the Scottish FA Cup last season and can participate in the UEFA Cup this season, of course, starting from the qualifying rounds.
　　 According to the current scores of the European War in the Scottish League, Dundee United needs to start from the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifier and pass the third round of qualification and qualifying play-offs before it can enter the UEFA Cup group stage this season.
The first round of the third round of the qualifying round was on July 30, which is two days later. In the qualifying draw held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon a few days ago, Dundee United had good luck and was drawn directly. Grand Prize-Premier League giants Liverpool.
　　 Liverpool is one of only two European giants among the teams participating in the league qualification this season, and the other is Serie A giants Juventus.
　　 Dundee United can hit a hit, luck is really good.
　　 Soon, the group confrontation began, and Li Chenglong was arranged to sit on the sidelines and rest first.
　　 He hasn't even qualified for the substitute team.
Li Chenglong is not surprised. Although he was arranged to train with the first team as soon as he came, he knew that it was more of the role played by Old John. But if he can't show the performance he deserves to impress the head coach, soon He will be sent to the reserve team or youth team.
　　 After 45 minutes of group confrontation, the coaching staff arranged for everyone to rest for more than ten minutes, and then began another round of group confrontation.
　　 "Bruce, you go to the bench, replace Andis, play the right midfielder." Assistant Harrison called Lee Chenglong.
Andis Salad is a German, 23 years old this year. He was brought back to Scotland by Dundee United scouts from a semi-professional team in Germany. He didn't have too much talent, otherwise he would not fall into Germany. Played a semi-professional league.
　　 He spent a few years in the Dundee United Youth Training Camp. He only started to become the team's substitute last season. Now he is replaced by Jackie Lee. The opponent's face is not very good because he knows that he may have another competitor.
　　 Li Chenglong just came to the team for two days, and there is no tacit understanding with his teammates. The first time he received a pass from his teammate on the field, he missed an opportunity to cooperate with his teammates because he was too slow.
　　 But Jackie Lee knew that what he needed was to show his talent and let the coach know that he was talented.
　　 Tacit understanding can be cultivated, but talent is difficult to cultivate.
　　 played for about seven or eight minutes before Li Chenglong finally waited for his chance to perform. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 The main team pressed the attack and failed to score the ball into the penalty area. After the football was cut off, the right back of the substitute team took the ball and immediately passed it to Li Chenglong who was waiting in the midfield.
　　 There was no one around Li Chenglong to guard, so he caught the ball and turned around, wading the ball accelerated, the whole process was extremely smooth.
　　 "You said he used to play as a midfielder?" On the side of the court, head coach Peter Houston asked his assistant Toby Harrison.
"That's what Old John said when he brought him to see me. He said that this little guy had been arranged to play as a midfielder in the Crystal Palace youth team, but in the past two months, the little guy had a whim and said that he wanted to transfer. Kicking the side." Harrison replied.
　　 "So Old John told me, let him try it on the back and the side."
　　 Li Chenglong's speed has been added up, and he easily shook off his opponent who wanted to follow him to stop him, and moved quickly along the right.
The left back of the main team, Irishman Sean Dillon, came from the front. Lee Chenglong could only make a slight change of direction in the high-speed dribble, but the success caused the opponent to hesitate, so he stabbed the football and accelerated again. Go past the opponent.
　　 The next step is to go down near the bottom line, and hit the ball back to the center.
　　 Standard bottom pass to middle routine.
　　 It's a pity that the forward Ryan, who was in charge of the follow-up on the substitute team, was a step slower. He swept in front of the goal and failed to hit the goal. He directly hit the ball into the stands.
　　 Ryan Dang is still annoyed that he just missed a goal, the coach Peter Houston is already applauding.
　　 In the stadium stands, fat Oliver and short Daniel are also talking.
　　 "This guy seems to be fast."
　　 "The pass just now is also good."
