After the 26th round of the Super League, the Europa League knockout round officially arrived.
On February 15, the Dundee United team came to Bucharest, the capital of Romania, one day in advance to prepare for the Europa League game tomorrow night.
From the Henri Coanda Airport in Bucharest, until the check-in to the hotel, Dundee United was welcomed by the Romanian people.
The Europa League knockout matches, even if it's just the Europa League, are just as hot.
The Bucharest Stars are undoubtedly the overlord of the Romanian League, the team that has won the most championships in the Romanian League.
At the peak of their career in the 1980s, they set an exaggerated record of 104 undefeated domestic league games. More importantly, they were also very competitive in the UEFA Champions League at the time, reaching the semi-finals three times in four years, reaching the final twice, and winning the championship once.
The 1985/86 season was the first time for the Bucharest Stars to reach the Champions League final. Their opponents in the final were Barcelona in La Liga, and Barcelona still had a half-home advantage because the Champions League final was in Pishu in Seville, Spain. Ann Stadium.
The final of that year was a dull game. In 120 minutes, neither team could create any good chances, so they entered a magical penalty shootout.
is really amazing. The first four penalty players of the Bucharest Stars only scored two, and they won the championship early.
is a good calculation, because Barcelona lost all four free throws, so the Bucharest star won the championship with a penalty score of 2:0.
played a penalty shootout, but the final score was 2:0, which is really hard to describe.
In any case, the Bucharest star won the Champions League by relying on the penalty shootout with the fewest goals in the history of the European War. Later, relying on the Champions League, they successfully defeated Dynamo Kyiv in the European Super Cup. Win the championship.
And the Bucharest stars at the time were not short-lived. Two years later, in the 87/88 season, they reached the Champions League semi-finals, but lost to Benfica.
One year later, the Bucharest stars once again reached the Champions League final, and this time they lost to AC Milan in the final 0:4.
In general, the Bucharest Stars were a very competitive team in Eastern Europe in the 1980s and the first Eastern European team to win the Champions League.
It is worth mentioning that the other Eastern European team that won the Champions League also has a star in their name, named Belgrade Red Star. They won the championship in 1991, and they also played a goalless draw in 120 minutes and won by penalty kick. .
Of course, this time the penalty kick was not so dramatic. Red Star won 5:3, a normal penalty kick score.
And the two Eastern European teams that won the Champions League, their main central defender has the same player, Romanian Miodrag Verdrodi, the first in history to follow two different teams to win UEFA Champions League champion player.
※※※
On February 16, at 10:30 p.m. local time in Romania, the first round of the 32nd round of the Europa League knockout round is about to start.
The start time of the European game is uniformly regulated in accordance with the central European time, so it will cause the start of the Eastern European region to start late.
As the overlord of Romania, the former Champions League champion team, Bucharest Star fans also have their own pride.
They obviously don't pay much attention to Dundee United, a small Scottish team, and they have raised various huge victory slogans at home.
Obviously, the Bucharest Star fans believe that to present a massacre for Dundee United at home is what their team should do.
"I think Dundee United has a slight advantage when comparing the strength of the two teams, but it is not obvious." The Scottish commentator had a different view.
"The only hidden danger of Dundee United is that their team's core Bruce Lee is not in good condition, which may cause some variables in the game."
"In this season's Europa League qualifying stage, Lee completed a hat-trick. In the group stage, Lee had three goals and three assists. Lee is the biggest contributor to Dundee United's ability to enter the Europa League knockouts. If he does not perform well. , Dundee United will probably attack the misfire."
At the beginning of the game, Dundee United put its posture very low, and focused on defensive counterattacks. After all, it was on their home court.
The Stars team also has the spirit of being a master, and they pressed on at the beginning. They really didn't take Dundee United too seriously.
But after more than 20 minutes of the game, Dundee United players began to realize that the Romanian offensive was actually quite constipated.
Seeing that the game is lively and lively, in fact, it's the same, and it doesn't create a threatening opportunity.
Under such circumstances, Dundee United began a counterattack.
In the 31st minute, Li Chenglong dribbled the ball from the right to a quick counterattack. After a two-over-one with David Robertson, the midfielder went to the front court and directly cut in.
Although the ball hit the side net in the end, Li Chenglong himself felt that it was okay, not too much.
In the 39th minute, a counter-attack against the Moon brother's through pass gave Vardy a single chance, but the opponent's goalkeeper Cyprien Tatarusano decisively resolved it.
The first half ended, and the two teams temporarily ended with a score of 0:0.
In the visiting team locker room of the midfielder, Peter Houston began to encourage everyone: "Our counterattack must be more decisive. Their strength is not strong. We should appropriately change our strategy and it is best to take away a victory from the away field."
Before the game, Peter Houston still said to be conservative. It is enough not to lose away games.
But halfway through the game, he obviously changed his mind.
The Bucharest Stars were also obviously dissatisfied with their offensive constipation in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, they made a midfield adjustment.
Obviously, they have to step up their offensive and try to win the game at home.
So, Dundee United's counterattack opportunities have also become more.
In the 58th minute, the Stars failed to attack again. David Robertson stole the ball and transferred it directly to Jackie Lee. Jackie Lee caught the ball and turned around. It was a long-distance through stop in his own half.
The ball passed between the opposing center backs, and Vardy was already looping to catch the ball.
As long as Vardy receives the ball, it will be a single move.
The other side obviously knew this, so their goalkeeper Tatarusano decisively chose to attack, abandon the goal and rushed out of the penalty area, and cleared the ball early.
Li Chenglong, who finished a long-distance pass, was still in his own half. Seeing the opponent cleared the siege early, the ball just flew towards the midfield.
So he ran the first two steps, in the middle circle position, swinging his leg to the ball is a straight shot with the back of the instep.
The ball drew a curved arc in the air and flew toward the goal.
Tanase, the nearest star midfielder, tried to jump up and block with his head, but there was not enough, and the ball flew past.
The Portuguese defender Alves in the opposing backcourt even jumped up directly. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com hit the ball with his hands, but he still couldn't touch it because he was at the highest position of the ball's arc.
The reason why they are so anxious is because they know that the goalkeeper has already come out. As long as the ball hits the goal range, it will definitely be scored.
After crossed over the heads of the two men, the ball landed right in front of the goal and flew into the goal after bounced.
"Goooooooooal~~~~~~" The Scottish commentator let out a long roar.
"Bruce Lee~~~~Super long distance hanging door~~~Super long distance hanging door!!!"
"The opponent's goalkeeper rushed out, and Li immediately seized the opportunity to make a super long-distance hanging goal, standing in the middle circle and directly harvesting the goal!!"
"This is talent! This is genius! This is Bruce Lee!!!"
Lee Chenglong, who scored a goal, rushed to the sidelines and was hugged by Peter Houston who rushed past. Soon the coaching staff and the players celebrated wildly on the sidelines.
After entering the knockout rounds, Peter Houston seemed to become more excited.
But at this time, the Romanian commentator is also helping his players.
"There is nothing wrong with Tartarusano's attack. Under any circumstances, don't give the opposing forward a single-handed chance. He is correct to attack and clear the siege."
"But he should not clear the ball to the midfield, but to the sideline, so that's safe."
"Of course, the opponent's midfielder does have a keen sense of smell. He immediately sensed this and scored goals easily."
The Romanian commentary is indeed more pertinent. The problem of the attack and clearing is not big. The only mistake is to clear the midfield.
Maybe the opponent did not want to give a frontcourt touchline, so he made this choice.
