Chapter 111 Mission Complete

With a 2:1 victory over Hannover 96 in the away game, Dundee United has taken a great advantage in the two rounds of knockout rounds.

As the Scottish commentator said, even if Dundee United returns to home and loses 0:1, they can still rely on more away goals to eliminate the opponent.

The Europa League has a satisfactory result, and then the Dundee United team will pack up and return to Scotland to prepare for the league.

In the other European games played at the same time in the middle of this week, there is nothing to say about the Champions League, and the stronger teams have achieved favorable results.

However, all four home teams in the Champions League this round were zero-blocked at home. This is the first time in the history of the Champions League.

AC Milan tied Barcelona 0:0 at home, Marseille lost 0:2 to Bayern at home, Benfica lost 0:1 to Chelsea at home, super dark horse Athletic lost 0:3 to Real Madrid at home.

In the UEFA Europa League, in addition to Dundee United's 2:1 away win over Hannover 96, Atletico Madrid beat Sporting Lisbon 2:1 at home, Alkmaar beat Valencia 2:1 at home, Athletic Bilbao 4:1 victory over Kharkov Metalworking at home.

At present, only Dundee United and Athletic Bilbao have a huge advantage in the first round, and the other two groups are still unclear.

However, the probability of Atletico Madrid eliminating Atletico Lisbon is quite high. Dundee United's fantasy opponent in the semi-finals is basically Atletico Madrid.

After scoring twice at Hannover, Lee has scored 12 Europa League goals this season, surpassing Alan Shearer in one fell swoop and becoming the British player with the most goals in a single season in Europe.

Among Lee's 12 goals, there are 3 qualifying goals and 9 main match goals.

Therefore, in the current Europa League scorer list, Lee Chenglong and Huntelaar also tied for the top spot with 9 goals at the same time.

The competition system of the Europa League is always changing, and the selection criteria for the Europa League Golden Boot are always changing accordingly.

In the past, the Europa League Golden Boot counted qualifying goals, but now it has been changed to the same standard as the Champions League, and qualifying goals are not counted.

In fact, it is more beneficial to Li Chenglong not to count the qualifying goals.

Huntelaar has achieved four goals in the qualifying round. If counting goals in the qualifying round, Huntelaar has one more goal than Li Chenglong.

Huntelaar was miserable enough. He scored four goals in the qualifiers and scored two hat-tricks at home after entering the knockout stage, but Schalke 04 was eliminated in the round of 16.

In addition to Huntelaar and Jackie Lee, currently on the UEFA Cup scorer list, Atletico Madrid's Falcao has 7 goals, and Athletic Bilbao's Llorente has 6 goals.

This season's Europa League Golden Boot basically belongs to these four people.

Although Huntelaar is out, but if Jackie Lee doesn't score any more goals and the total number of goals scored by other players does not exceed 9, he can still win the Golden Boot.

So although his people are out, he is not out in the Golden Boot competition.

On March 31, in the 32nd round of the Scottish Super League, Dundee United played at home against newly promoted Dunfermline, currently bottom of the list.

In this game, Jackie Lee led a special little caddy when he entered the field.

The little guy is wearing a thick mask and a personalized T-shirt with a minion printed on it.

And Li Chenglong is the same as him,

Wearing the same T-shirt, but in a larger size.

This little guy is a little fan of Dundee United, and also a little fan of Jackie Lee.

But the little guy has childhood leukemia and is due for an important treatment in two weeks.

So the little guy's family went to the official website of Dundee United for help, hoping that Li Chenglong could meet the little guy before the treatment and give him some encouragement.

After Kate Lee found out, she went to confirm the matter, so she arranged for the little guy to be a caddy at the home court, and let Jackie Lee wear the little guy's favorite minion clothes together.

Kate Lee is applying for the goodwill ambassador of the UNICEF for Jackie Lee. Isn't this just a typical example of caring for children?

That is, doing good deeds can also improve the image.

Before the game started, Li Chenglong stood on the field with the little guy in his arms, pointing his finger at the stands, guiding the little guy to look over.

In the stands, there was also a group of fans wearing minion clothes, who were singing the improvised song "We Are All Minions".

The color of Dundee United's home jersey is yellow, which fits just right.

The people in the stands were organized by Oliver and Daniel, two loyal fans of Jackie Chan. After they knew about this, they offered to help.

The more people involved, the more attention and reports it will receive.

But the minion clothes they wore were all bought by Li Chenglong.

Maintaining your image also costs money.

With the little yellow man singing, the game officially started.

Dunfermline's strength is quite weak, and it is difficult to resist Dundee United's offensive at Thanatis Park.

So in the first half, Joan Daly scored twice, and in the second half, David Robertson sealed the victory. Dundee United won the game easily at home 3:0.

Li Chenglong sent an assist in the first half. After 60 minutes in the second half, seeing that there was not much suspense in the game, he was replaced and rested.

Hannover 96 will be visiting soon in the middle of last week. Although Dundee United has established an advantage in the first round, they dare not take it lightly.

In the other games of this round, the Celtics also won St. Johnstone 2:0 at home, continuing to lead Dundee United by one point.

Celtic 76 points, Dundee United 75 points.

It is worth mentioning that, with eight rounds left in the league, Dundee United's points have reached 75 points, which is only one point away from the team history record created last season.

"Dundee United will continue to break their team history points record, which is inevitable. It depends on how many points they can break the point record in the end." This is the post-match evaluation of Scottish TV.

On April 5th, the second round of the Europa League quarter-finals, Dundee United played against Hannover 96 at home.

Due to the advantage in the first round, this time at home, Dundee United played very pragmatically, with simple and direct defensive counterattacks.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, in the first half, Brother Moon scored a single-handed goal in a counterattack, helping Dundee United take the lead.

In the second half, although the opponent's Senegalese Diouf scored a goal again with his strong physical fitness, the goal came too late to affect the overall situation.

In the end, Dundee United drew 1:1 with Hannover 96 at home, eliminated the opponent with a total score of 3:2, and advanced to the semi-finals of this season's Europa League.

"We congratulate Dundee United, and congratulate them for advancing to the semi-finals of the Europa League this season. This is amazing for a small Scottish team." After the game, all parties congratulated.

"We also congratulate Jackie Lee. Being able to lead such a small team to the semi-finals of the Europa League is an even more remarkable achievement."

The Scottish commentator is calculating the points in the European war: "In the top 32, Dundee United double-killed Bucharest Star. In the top 16, Dundee United and Schalke 04 both drew and were eliminated by away goals. Now in the quarter-finals, Dundee United eliminated Hannover 96 with one win and one draw to advance."

"Up to now, Dundee United has 3 wins and 3 draws in the Europa League knockout rounds, and has directly won 9 points in the European war, plus a bonus point for advancing to the quarter-finals and advancing to the semi-finals. Dundee United has won a total of Got 11 European points."

"Everyone has calculated before that if we want to surpass the Danish league in European points, we need Dundee United to get 10 points. To surpass the Swiss league, we need Dundee United to get 11 points."

"Now, Dundee United have done it all. They have completed this hellishly difficult task and helped the Scottish Premier League keep two Champions League places."

"They are the warriors of Scotland, the heroes of Scotland!!"
