Dundee United returned home and defeated Steaua Bucharest 1:0, double-killed each other 2:0 in two rounds, and successfully advanced to the top 16 of this season's Europa League.

Double play promotion, which seems to be done according to the calculation method of the Scottish media, can catch up with Basel in the European war points as soon as possible.

However, in the other four games in the first round of the Champions League round of 16 that took place in the middle of the week, Basel beat Bayern with a 1-0 upset at home.

Basel actually won a victory against Bayern, which is definitely bad news for the Scottish League.

If Basel continues to be a dark horse and really knocks out Bayern, then the Scottish League really doesn't need to talk about catching up with European points.

Even if Bayern returns to the home court to make a comeback and advance, Basel has already scored 2 points in the European war after winning Bayern. Dundee United wants to catch up, and it will be more difficult.

It was previously expected that if Basel was double-killed out in the top 16, Dundee United would need to score 9 European points in the Europa League knockout round. Now that Basel has scored 2 points, then Dundee United will be To get 11 points in the European war.

For the Scottish Super League, it is more appropriate to catch up with the Danish league in the European rankings. This is the statement of the Scottish Daily Sports.

The performance of the Danish League in the European competition this season is mediocre. They do not have any teams that have entered the European knockout rounds. Therefore, after calculating the points, Dundee United only needs to score 10 points in the Europa League knockout rounds to help the Scottish League overtake Denmark. league.

Actually, there is not much difference between 10 points and 11 points, and we need to work hard to complete them. This is Lee Chenglong's answer to this question.

And there was another upset game in the Champions League in the middle of this week. The Blues Chelsea went to Italy and lost 1:3 to Naples.

Although Chelsea has had various problems such as personnel aging in the past two years, it is still a bit outrageous to lose 1:3 away.

At present, Chelsea is squeezed out of the top four by Arsenal in the Premier League, and they are facing elimination in the Champions League with a big away loss. Even the domestic League Cup has been eliminated, and the FA Cup is also not optimistic.

No matter how you look at it, it is a collapsed situation.

Now rumors of discord among the generals have erupted within Chelsea. Madman II Boas seems to have lost control of the locker room, and it should not be far from the end of get out of class.

Dundee United is on the side of their opponents in the top 16 of the Europa League. Schalke 04 went to the home court in the second round after a 1:1 draw with the Czech team Pilsen in the first leg of the top 32. :1 defeated the opponent and successfully advanced to the top sixteen.

Dundee United's opponent in the Europa League round of 16 is Schalke 04, and there is no fluke.

It is worth mentioning that Schalke 04's four goals in the two rounds were all scored by their striker Huntelaar.

At present, Huntelaar is in excellent form and has scored a lot of goals in the Bundesliga and Europa League. This is by no means good news for Dundee United.

On February 26, in the 28th round of the Soviet Super League, Dundee United went to an away game to challenge Hearts.

Hartz's state this season is not as good as last season. Although he still has the opportunity to compete for the Europa League qualification next season, his overall strength is no longer comparable to Dundee United.

Or it can't be said that Hearts is not in good condition. They are still in the position of competing for the Europa League qualification, but Dundee United has risen to the level of competing for the championship.

At Tyne Castle Stadium, Dundee United scored a goal in each half and won the game easily 2-0.

In the first half, Joan Daly opened the scoring with a stab shot in front of the goal. In the second half, Lee Chenglong dribbled the ball into the penalty area and volleyed to seal the victory.

While Dundee United won Hearts away, Celtic also won Motherwell 1-0 at home, continuing to overwhelm Dundee United by two points.

After this round,

Dundee United could have a week's rest due to their FA Cup exit.

But a week later, Dundee United's big game is coming.

The Scottish BBC gave a report specifically for this - Dundee United's Devil's Schedule.

Since the beginning of this season, Dundee United has been the biggest dark horse in the Scottish Premier League. No one could have imagined that they could play so well.

In the league, Dundee United and Celtic are tightly entangled in the standings. In the Europa League, Dundee United is the only team in the Scottish Premiership that has reached the knockout stage this season. Now they have Made it to the top sixteen.

Even they're in the final of the Carabao Cup and will soon be fighting Celtic for the title at Hampton Park.

At present, it seems that Dundee United is going to compete for the treble.

Dundee United continue to clinch Celtic at the top of the table after beating Hearts 2-0 at Tyne Castle this weekend, but their biggest test of the season is yet to come.

On the weekend after school, Dundee United hosts Inverness, which is a non-problematic game.

But then, the disaster for Dundee United came. First, they had to play Schalke 04 at home in the middle of the week, then went to play Glasgow Rangers away in the weekend, and then flew to Germany to play Schalke away in the middle of the week. Ke 04, and flew back immediately after the end, went to Glasgow to compete with the Celtics for the League Cup championship.

Such a schedule, no matter how you look at it, is a standard devil's schedule, and there are continuous flights at home and abroad. If there is any carelessness, Dundee United will collapse in the third line.

If they are defeated in the third line after being amazed for most of the season, and can't win any championships in the end, it will definitely be a huge blow to Dundee United.

You must know that last season, they won at least one FA Cup...

In fact, when Li Chenglong learned about the schedule, he also looked confused. This is not a devil's schedule, it can be called a death schedule, okay?

Playing four games in two weeks, two matches against Schalke 04 in the Europa League, and two domestic matches against Glasgow.

Moreover, Li Chenglong also learned that the Dundee United Club went to the Soviet Football Association to adjust the schedule, but was rejected.

The Europa League schedule cannot be adjusted, but Dundee United hopes to adjust the domestic schedule.

But the Football Association of the Soviet Union disagreed, and their reasons were very legitimate. These matches had been arranged long ago, especially for the League Cup final, where the tickets had already been sold.

Now Dundee United has nothing to do, so they can only bite the bullet and knock down.

Who told people to have someone above them?

What Dundee United can do now is to take advantage of the one-week rest time to rest quickly and wait for the arrival of the big battle.

At this time, Jackie Lee received an invitation, and team chairman Eddie Thompson invited him to dinner again.

But after going to the hotel booked by the other party, they found that there was still a bald old man there.

Bruce, nice to meet you, I'm Jonathan Barnett. The bald old man came up to shake hands with Li Chenglong with a red face.
