Chen Xiaoliang rarely participated in the ball transfer during the offense, but his teammates were surprised to find that his heading accuracy had improved significantly.

This also made him feel much more reassuring when defending high altitude balls.

However, when the siege is formed in the current field, Chen Xiaoliang will still stay in the rear with two central defenders, while Davis will step forward as the pass hub of the central axis.

Under the siege of wanderers, Dundee United quickly couldn't stand it.

In the 13th minute, captain Tavernell made two passes and Haji on the right side to make a cross to the bottom line. Midfielder Alibo competed for the top, but was saved by Dundee United goalkeeper. Kent, who was ambushed at the back point, picked up a vacancy and shot into the net.

Score 1 to 0!

In the next 17 minutes, the Wanderers maintained the siege of Dundee United, but after 30 minutes, due to the decline in physical strength, the ball possession rate of both sides gradually approached.

Dundee United once had four consecutive corner kicks, but without exception, it was destroyed by the Wanderers' airtight defense.

In the 39th minute, the first half was about to come to an end, Dundee United winger Chalmers made a pass and left Barrisic behind directly.

Chen Xiaoliang, who had a premonition that Barisic would lose his position, started early and caught up with him in the penalty area.

Chalmers knew that the Red Country boy in front of him had extremely strong defensive ability, so he did not want to fight and sent the ball back to the full-back Nelson behind him. Nelson made a big pass through and was confiscated by Rangers goalkeeper McGregor.

McGregor was eager to launch a counterattack, but when he looked up, the Dundee United players blocked the receiving lines of several major players of the Rangers during their return to defense.

And forward Haji and Kent are too far away and may not be able to pass the ball to them accurately.

Perhaps it was because it was seen that the Wanderers' offense was never initiated by Chen Xiaoliang. In a glance, McGregor found that none of the Dundee United players were within ten meters of Chen Xiaoliang's body.

The opportunity must not be missed. Once you hesitate for a moment, wait for all the Dundee United players to run back to the half, a chance to counterattack will be missed.

McGregor threw the ball directly at Chen Xiaoliang in front of the penalty area. Chen Xiaoliang was also stunned, but the ball had already been thrown at him, and he had no time to hesitate any more.

He stopped the ball with his chest and stopped the ball three meters away, but fortunately there was no one around him. Others thought he was taking the ball towards the frontcourt so that he could leave room for himself to sprint.

At this time, Barisic, who had just lost his position, had already stepped forward at high speed. Chen Xiaoliang thought that his pass attribute of 5 and the extra 4 points added to the tacit understanding value with Barisic, would have 9 passes.

Although it is still not high, it does not mean you can't give it a try.

He was passing the ball to Balisic for a long pass, and the ball flew over without any bias.

Chalmers and Nelson, who had just launched an attack in the Rovers' half, had just run to the center line and could not catch up with Barrisic.

So Barisic received the ball without defense and went to the bottom line. After making a fake cross, he deceived the defender and broke into the penalty area and passed it to his teammate Morelos who was circumventing the middle.

Morelos scored a pass through the ball, and Dundee United goalkeeper lost his wicket.

2 to 0!

The Wanderers team members surrounded him to celebrate. Morelos excitedly saw Chen Xiaoliang coming.

"Chan! Thanks to you for this ball!"

Chen Xiaoliang also laughed and said to Barisic: "You have to pay half of your assist bonus!"

Barisic touched his head: "Take you to a 'good place' after the competition?"

Chen Xiaoliang shook his head. He didn't want to contribute his first time so quickly.

In fact, at that moment, he made up for a picture.

Because of the full value of tacit understanding, when they were in a "good place", he could clearly sense what Barisic in the next room was doing...

Damn it!

nausea!

The first half ended soon.

Back in the locker room, the data analysis team gave the data statistics for the first half.

Among them, Chen Xiaoliang ranked first in the game in terms of running distance and steals, 6.6 kilometers and 5 times respectively.

At this pace, he would run about 13 kilometers in the whole game. Assistant coach McCallist asked him how he felt. Chen Xiaoliang said that according to Dundee United's current offensive intensity, there should be no problem with playing for 70 minutes.

On the Hongguo Network, due to the signing of an exclusive broadcast agreement, Doumao APP can no longer broadcast any Wanderers' competitions.

All the previous audiences also went to Penguin Sports’ live broadcast platform to watch Chen Xiaoliang.

Since Glasgow is 15pm at 22pm at Red Country time, and today is Saturday, 700,000 viewers have already poured into the live broadcast room.

The popularity even squeezed the live broadcast room out of the line for a while.

During the half-time break, the highlights of the first half were played on the screen, especially the ball supported by Chen Xiaoliang's steals and long passes, while the barrage was constantly refreshing was flying.

[I thought he could only defend, but I didn't expect that the pass was so accurate]

[That's not. I calculated the action to take from the moment I stopped the ball]

[Those players from Dundee United are so arrogant. They are not careful when they put such a threat. If I were the head coach of Dundee United, I would definitely send someone to defend Chen Xiaoliang]

[I heard before that local media used the Celtics' Japanese striker to compete with Chen Xiaoliang. I wonder if anyone knows it?]

[What to compare, there is no comparison. When the wanderer meets the Celtics, Chen Xiaoliang will definitely seal him off]

After 15 minutes, the second half began.

On the side of the leading Wanderer, Gerald made no adjustments.

On the other side of Dundee United, Bovis replaced winger Chalmers with Bovis and changed his position. Bovis directly faced Chen Xiaoliang.

During several competitions, Chen Xiaoliang obviously felt that Bovis' movements were very big. Even if he clearly headed the ball that he could not compete, he would deliberately jump and hit him.

After he grabbed the ball, Bovis would block him as soon as possible. Whether it was a man or a ball, he would always be satisfied with it.

After a foul, the referee warned Bovis a few words. Barisic walked to Chen Xiaoliang and reminded: "Chen, this person is obviously coming, you have to protect yourself."

Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

The teammates seemed to have discovered the intention of Dundee United. In the following period, the offense was transferred to the right of captain Tavernell.

Even if the ball is passed to the left, try to avoid Chen Xiaoliang.

After all, for him, every opponent is unfamiliar and needs to spend time on the court to adapt. The passing of football in other places can also keep Bovis away from Chen Xiaoliang.

No matter how rough a player is, he cannot violate his opponent without the ball.

However, a scene that Chen Xiaoliang did not expect happened.

In a positional attack in the 59th minute, Barisic received a return pass from Kent and was about to take the ball to the middle to find gap. Bovis did not care about Chen Xiaoliang who was staying in the backcourt to assist in defense, but instead rushed towards Barisic.

When Barisic saw someone rushing, he quickly passed it to Morelos in the middle, but was pushed out by Dundee United's central defender. The ball was unbiased and returned to Barisic.

He jumped to compete for the ball, but Bovis, who rushed over at high speed, flew directly to the ball, and hit the back of Barisic's head with his forehead. Barisic fainted and collapsed on the ground after landing.

The referee immediately stopped the game, and Tavernell called on the team doctor to enter the court immediately. Old Davis rushed forward and pushed Bovis hard. Bovis was not showing any weakness. While gushing various human tissues in his mouth, he rushed forward to fight back against Old Davis.

The players on both sides immediately gathered in a group, some cursing each other, and some striving to pull the two away.

Finally, amid the huge booing of the fans all over the field, the medical staff carried Balisic down on a stretcher, left the field and went directly to the ambulance to take him to the hospital.

Because Bovis first encountered the ball, he only had a physical conflict with Davis, so he each received a yellow card.
