Chapter 16: New font derby

Peter Houston’s life is really not so good. The continuous inability to win the game puts him under a lot of pressure. The club management has given him a pass. If he can’t win the next two rounds, he has to consider looking for it. The problem with the new owner.
　　The reason why the next two rounds are set instead of the next round is because the probability of Dundee United winning in the next round of the league is very small, and the management has also left Houston with room for change.
　　 On September 11, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Dundee United came to Glasgow, the capital of Scotland, where they challenged one of the two biggest bosses in the Scottish League, the Glasgow Rangers.
As far as the Scottish League is concerned, the Celtics and Rangers are definitely the only teams in strength. They have many players who have played in the top five leagues, and they have great strengths to other teams. Repressive force.
　　 In the end at Eblox Stadium in Glasgow, Dundee United lost a 0:4 cleanly.
In just 8 minutes of the opening, full-back Dillon gave himself an own goal in the process of intercepting the pass of the opponent Croatian striker Jelavic. Before the end of the first half, the opponent had played for the Premier League Derby County and Wolves forward Kenny. Miller has scored twice and then scored a goal after the substitute forward came on the field in the second half, which completely ended the suspense of the game.
　　 Lee Chenglong continued to sit on the bench and did not play in this game. He has been sitting on the bench for two consecutive rounds.
　　 Lee Chenglong didn't think much about it. After all, his performance in the previous two consecutive games was not good, and the head coach has been under great pressure recently, and he may not dare to let him as a newcomer go to the level.
　　 Lost another game. On the bus from Glasgow back to Dundee, Peter Houston's face was quite ugly, and no one dared to speak.
　　 But after returning to Dundee, Houston still has to seriously prepare for the next game.
　　 A week later, in the fifth round of the league, the new name Derby, Dundee United against Aberdeen, is also his last straw.
　　 The Scottish League is an obvious duopoly. The time-honored Celtics and Rangers jointly dominate the league. Even if other teams rise to win a championship, it is difficult to compete with the two big bosses for a long time.
However, in the 1980s, Scotland has risen two teams in succession, namely Aberdeen and Dundee United. These two teams not only stole the limelight of the two bosses in the league, but also in the European war. The performance is quite eye-catching.
　　 In the league, Aberdeen won three championships, Dundee United won one, and the two teams jointly took away four championships in the 1980s. The 80s can be said to be the most "tragic" decade for the time-honored brands, because they only won six league titles during the ten years, and actually lost four of them.
　　 Generally speaking, in the European game of the Scottish League teams, only the Celtics and Rangers have the ability to compete for the championship. Even if other teams qualify for the European war, they will all go to the European continent to be cannon fodder.
　　 But the two teams that emerged in the 1980s are different. They also performed very well in the European war.
　　 Dundee United have reached the Champions League semi-finals and UEFA Cup finals in a few years. Although they failed to win the championship as expected, this result is already very impressive. You must know that the Rangers' best result in the Champions League is only the semi-finals, and also only scored once.
　　Although Aberdeen did not perform very well in the Champions League, in the 82/83 season of the European Cup Winners' Cup, they eliminated Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich into the finals.
　　 In the final, they faced century giants Real Madrid. They also defeated their opponent 2:1 to win the championship, becoming the third team in Scottish history to win the European Championship.
Relying on the Cup Winners’ Cup to participate in the European Super Cup that year, Aberdeen once again showed the dark horse attributes, defeating the UEFA Champions League champion Hamburg 2:0, becoming the only European Super Cup champion. Scottish team.
Dundee United and Aberdeen have risen at the same time. At the same time, there is a tendency to overturn the old names in the league and the European war. In addition, the two teams are located in the eastern part of Scotland. Dissatisfied with anyone, sparks splattered as soon as they met, so they were dubbed the new name Derby at that time to echo the old Derby of the Celtics and Rangers.
　　 Although the two new teams quickly declined after the 1980s, the new derby has been passed down and has become an important derby in the Scottish League second only to the old one.
　　 For Dundee United, the meaning of the new name derby is even higher than that of the city’s rival Dundee FC.
　　 So this is also the bottom line of the Dundee United management. After losing the game one after another, they will no longer allow the new derby to lose. If the new derby can't be won, the head coach Peter Houston will undoubtedly dismiss the get out of class.
It is worth mentioning that when Aberdeen was able to rise, they had to mention the legendary coach at the time. Later, this coach went to coach in England and achieved great success. His name is-Ya Alex Ferguson.

　　 On September 18, 2010, the fifth round of the Soviet Super League kicked off. Dundee United ushered in the first round of this season's new derby at home.
　　 The game hasn't started yet, and the atmosphere in the Tanatis Park stadium has completely risen.
　　 When Li Chenglong entered the game, he didn't get as much applause as he received when he played for the first time at home in the league, but he still applauded.
　　 Head coach Peter Houston came in and got a huge boo from the audience.
　　 Houston was just an assistant for Dundee United last season, but after the end of last season, the original head coach transferred to the Swedish League to coach, and Houston was promoted to head coach.
But since the start of the new season, Dundee United has performed poorly. The UEFA Cup elimination has nothing to do with him. After all, it is the draw of Liverpool. But in the league’s dilemma, Houston is absolutely It's hard to blame.
　　 After the current four rounds of the league, Dundee United has 2 draws and 2 losses and only scored 2 points, ranking second in the standings.
　　 Fortunately, there is currently only one relegation spot in the Soviet Super League, which prevents Dundee United from slipping into the relegation zone.
　　 But the current results are definitely not satisfactory to the fans, and the call for Houston to dismiss get out of class is getting louder.
"The current situation in Dundee United is not optimistic. I believe that Aberdeen, as an old opponent, will never let go of this good opportunity. I think Aberdeen will win the game in the end." The Scottish narrator of the BBC began their insights.
　　 "No, on the contrary, I think Dundee United will win their home court." The standard antagonism between the commentators began again.
　　 "When many teams are in trouble, they tend to find their form in an important game and then get back on track. I think this game is likely to be a turning point for Dundee United."
　　 "Moreover, this is a German game. Many times in a German game, it is not that you can win if you are strong or in good condition. The German game is very unexpected.
"In the season that Barcelona won the Triple Crown, didn't they lose 1:2 to the Spaniard in the home city derby. Do you think the Spaniard is really that strong? No, just because it was a Derby, everything It may happen."
"Manchester United won the double crown in the 07/08 season, but they were beaten by Manchester City at home and away in the same city derby in the league. At that time, Manchester City did not have the local tyrants in the Middle East, and their strength was not strong... "
