Chapter 88: Top

　　 Although the Europa League knockout draw has come out, it will not start until February next year. Dundee United also needs to prepare for the domestic league first.
　　 On December 18th, in the 19th round of the Soviet Super League, Dundee United challenged Kimmarnock away.
　　 Due to a Europa League match played in the middle of the week, the Dundee United team was not in the best condition, but Kimmarnock was also in bad condition. They only won one game in the last five league rounds, which is exactly when the state is down.
　　 The two teams drew 1:1 in the first half. In the 65th minute of the second half, Lee Chenglong directly assisted Vardy to score, and thus won the opponent 2:1 in the away game and won three consecutive league victories.
　　 In the other games of this round, the Glasgow duo won, but Motherwell was tied at home by the relegation madman St Mirren and lost points again.
　　 This season's Super League schedule has passed halfway, in the current standings:
　　The Glasgow Rangers temporarily ranked first with 14 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses and 45 points.
　　 Dundee United ranked second with 13 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses and 42 points.
　　 The Celtics ranked third with 13 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses and 41 points.
　　 Motherwell ranked fourth with 11 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses and 37 points.
　　 These four teams are the most likely to compete for the league championship. The next team is the closest and is also 10 points away from Motherwell.

　　 Before next year’s Europa League playoffs, Dundee United can only prepare for the domestic competition. Lee also plans to take advantage of this time to strengthen training appropriately and speed up his talent card integration by the way.
　　 Currently, Lee Chenglong’s five talent cards have 53% flank speed fusion, 50% fusion of the Moon Round Scimitar, 44% fusion of Cycling Prince, 36% fusion of long-range shot masters, and 25% fusion of piercing stitches.
　　In a few cards, the Cycling Prince only needs to increase the fusion degree by 1% to activate the additional attribute of "dribbling stability increased by 15%".
　　 In terms of basic attributes, Lee Chenglong currently has 73 technical attributes, 75 spiritual attributes, and 72 physical attributes.
　　 Li Chenglong discovered that the increase in physical attributes does not seem to be completely dependent on the system. After the growth reached 70, it did slow down, but it did not slow down to the level of technical attributes.
　　 Li Chenglong felt that it might be a while before his physical attributes would surpass his technical attributes.
　　While Jackie Lee gave himself extra training, Andrew Robertson also took the initiative to come and train with him.
　　 "Bruce, how did you quickly become the main force last season?" Robertson couldn't help but ask during the training break.
　　 Robertson has joined Dundee United for half a year. Although he was quickly recognized by Peter Houston and stayed in the first team, he still couldn't play the main force.
　　 In this half of the season, Robertson can only play the second substitute at the left-back position for most of the time. Only when Barry Douglas and Sean Dillon were injured in succession, he briefly played the main force.
　　 But the performance was not very good. After the two returned, he went back to the bench.
　　 "Andrew, your biggest problem is insufficient physical confrontation. Not only do you need a reasonable diet and more exercise to make yourself stronger as soon as possible, but you also need to adapt to the physical confrontation rhythm on the court as soon as possible, so that you can fully show your talent."
　　 "For players, adapting to the court is crucial."
　　 Lee Chenglong can only say that, because he can't tell the other party, ‘I have a systematic help’, let’s do that.

　　 On December 24th, in the 20th round of the Soviet Super League, Dundee United played at home against Xicentennial.
In this game, Lee Chenglong performed well and had two good breakthroughs, but he did not score a direct goal or assist. However, Dundee United still relied on the overall strength to win the game 3:1 at home and take all three points. .
In other matches in the same round, the Celtics defeated Kimarnock 2:1 at home, while Motherwell lost to Hartz 0:2 away. None of this matters. The most important thing is the Glasgow Rangers. Lost 1:2 to St Mirren in the away game.
　　 After the Rangers lost the game, Dundee United caught up with the opponent in points.
　　 At present, Dundee United and the Rangers have the same score of 45 points, but they can't match the opponent in goal difference. Dundee United can only temporarily rank second.
　　 But in the next round of the league, the Rangers will have a time-honored derby with the Celtics. Given the current state of the Rangers, it is very possible to lose points.
　　 As long as the Rangers lose points in the next round and Dundee United wins, Dundee United can reach the top of the list.
　　 "This is the best opportunity for Dundee United in 18 years." Scotland's sports television station said.
　　 The last time Dundee United reached the top of the Soviet Super League standings, it was in the 93/94 season, Dundee United briefly reached the top of the list with three consecutive victories.
　　 Now that 18 years have passed, Dundee United has finally had another chance to reach the top of the Su Super League standings.
　　 Dundee United attaches great importance to this opportunity, and everyone does not want to miss this good opportunity.
　　 On December 28th, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Dundee United challenged St Mirren away while the Celtics will face the Glasgow Rangers at home.
　　 "There are two crucial matches in this round, and the results of each match are different, and there may be three different tops." The Scottish commentator talked about the situation on the standings.
　　 "Currently the Rangers and Dundee United have 45 points, and the Celtics have 44 points."
　　 "After the end of this round, the Rangers may continue to occupy the top spot, or Dundee United will top the list for the first time in 18 years, or it may be the Celtics overwhelming both teams to climb the top spot."
　　 "The Soviet Super League has not been so competitive for many years."
　　 St. Mirren had some conflicts with Dundee United last season. This time, Dundee United will not easily let Dundee United score three points at home.
　　 and St. Mirren’s state in the last two league rounds is also very good. They first drew Motherwell on the away game and then defeated the Rangers at home.
　　 Speaking of Dundee United now has a chance to top the list, thanks to St Mirren’s help.
　　 At the St. Mirren Park Stadium, the two teams played a battle at the beginning of the game.
　　 In the 18th minute of the opening, St Mirren created a chance through a cross from the side, and their 1.19-meter high center Thompson scored with a header to take the lead.
　　 After only 10 minutes, Dundee United fought a beautiful counterattack by relying on the opponent to press the gap after the attack.
Conway, Jackie Lee and Joan Daly made three arrows. Conway sent a diagonal pass from the left side of the frontcourt. Jackie Lee went in the middle, raised his foot and circled the ball, but did not touch the ball at all. The ball gave way to the back point.
　　 A series of actions by Jackie Lee completely attracted the attention of Saint Mirren's defensive attention, and Joan Daly, who was inserted in the back, easily pushed the empty goal.
　　 "Bruce Lee just missed the ball too cleverly. He used a bicycle-like ball to circle around, completely disintegrating St Mirren's defense. Joan Daly only needs to simply push the empty goal."
　　 "More importantly, he didn't even touch the ball during the whole process."
　　 Lee Chenglong's clever leak did not make St Mirren timid, they still continued to launch the offensive at home.
　　 In the 34th minute, St. Mirren’s Australian midfielder Aaron Moy dribbled into the penalty area and was tripped by Paul Dixon. The opponent won a penalty and Paul Dixon received a yellow card.
　　 St. Mirren midfielder Carre made a penalty kick to help St. Mirren once again exceed the score.
　　 Just 5 minutes later, Li Chenglong sent a good cross. Joan Daly's header was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, but the moon brother caught up in time and succeeded.
　　 Dundee United also tied the score again.
　　 "The two teams dedicated a battle in the first half, and jointly contributed four goals. This is definitely a wonderful first half."
　　 For the fans, this was a wonderful first half, but for the Dundee United team, they were not satisfied with this first half.
　　 Dundee United just wants to win the game and topped the list again after eighteen years. It doesn't matter whether they are brilliant or not.
　　 At the beginning of the second half, Dundee United began to control the rhythm appropriately and stop following the opponent's offensive rhythm.
　　 More than ten minutes later, Saint Mirren really slowed down and the offensive state was not good, but Dundee United’s offensive state was also lost.
　　 In this situation, in the 71st minute, Conway passed a ball on the left. Lee Chenglong turned his back to the goal at the front of the penalty zone in the center, and leaned against the Dutchman Stellar behind him.
Li Chenglong caught the ball with his right foot and flew the ball over his head and flew to the other side. The homeopath turned and pushed the Dutchman by the way with his elbow to create space for himself. Lifting his right leg is a volley. .
　　 After an unexpected pick from outside the penalty area, he turned and volleyed. Everyone didn't react. The ball flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal.
　　 "Gooooooooooal~~~~~~~"
　　 "Bruce Lee~~~~Bruce Lee~~~~~He is so amazing!!!"
　　 "This is an extremely shocking goal. After picking the ball, Li turned and volleyed. How did he think of doing this?!"
　　 "St Mirren once again became the background board, and Lee once again scored a fairy ball when facing them!!"
　　 Lee Chenglong's goal calmed down the St. Mirren Park Stadium, but it was quickly replaced by a loud boo.
　　 But Li Chenglong didn't care about it~EbookFREE.me~ scored such a goal, he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with his teammates.
　　 "Bruce, Bruce, how did you do it?"
　　 "It's amazing."
　　The teammates also continuously issued such amazing questions.
　　 Jackie Lee just got 45% of the Cycling Prince card fusion degree, activated the additional attributes, the so-called increased dribbling stability, Jackie Lee did not feel it, but he clearly felt that his ball feel became better.
　　 Many times, when I think of something in my head, my body will follow it.
　　 Jackie Lee’s fairy ball was also the last goal of the game. In the following time, although St. Mirren tried to equalize the score and even replaced Hasselbaink, he still failed to score.
This Hasselbaink is the nephew of Chelsea’s famous Jimmy Hasselbaink, and he is also a center forward, but his level is a thousand miles worse than the old Hasselbaink, otherwise neither Will be reduced to the Soviet Super League football, but also can not play the main force.
　　 In the end, Dundee United defeated St Mirren 3:2 away to get the league's five consecutive victories.
　　 At the end of the game, the Dundee United team cheered and celebrated directly at the St. Mirren Park Stadium.
　　Because in another game at the same time, the Celtics defeated the Rangers 1-0 at home. In this case, Dundee United will really climb to the top of the standings.
　　 "We congratulate Dundee United, they have reached the top of the Soviet Super League standings after a lapse of 18 years, and with their current status, they are likely to win the league championship this season."
