The match between the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team is still going on, and in terms of strength, the Chinese team is definitely a big cut above the Hong Kong team. Although the popularity and competitive level of the Hong Kong Premier Football League can be ranked among the top in Asia, this does not mean that the level of the Hong Kong team can also reach the first-class level in Asia.

Because the Hong Kong Super League allows seven foreign players to play at the same time, almost all of the real protagonists in the league are foreign aids, and Hong Kong local players can only be green leaves. If Hong Kong's football level really wants to improve, it needs to wait until the youth training system of various professional teams comes to fruition.

You must know that just five years ago, it was also in this stadium that the Chinese team unexpectedly lost 1-2 to the Hong Kong team when it could qualify with a draw, which not only broke the dream of the Mexico World Cup, but also caused the first large-scale fan riot in the history of China after the game, which was known as the "May 19 tragedy" in history.

And this time in the Asian Games held at home, the minimum goal of the Chinese men's football team before the competition is to strive for a medal. A total of 16 teams originally advanced to the final stage, divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D.

However, just before the start of the Asian Games, Iraq brazenly invaded Kuwait, so the Olympic Council of Asia deprived the entire Iraqi delegation of its qualification for the Asian Games. Affected by this sudden war, not only the Iraqi men's football team that had arrived in Beijing could not participate in the game, but several other West Asian teams that had already advanced also withdrew temporarily.

As a result, the Asian Organizing Committee had to re-draw the group before the game, and the Chinese team, as the host, had the right to choose its own group in the end. The Chinese team's abacus can be described as very loud, and they deliberately chose Group A, where the South Korean team is located.

You must know that the Chinese team has suffered from incurable "Koreanophobia" for many years, but it is in the same group as the South Korean team, and even if it loses, it still has a chance to qualify as the second place in the group. According to the principle of avoiding teams in the same group, the Chinese team wants to meet South Korea again in the knockout stage, unless both sides reach the final.

At the same time, the first and second places in Group A, the opponents they met in the first round of the knockout round, the four teams in the group include Kuwait, Thailand, Hong Kong and Yemen, and in the eyes of the Chinese team, no matter who they meet in the end, it is not a problem to win.

As a result, the Hong Kong team won all three games, beating the Thai team to win the first place in Group C, and the Chinese team, which unsurprisingly lost to the South Korean team and finished second in Group A.

The time of the match between the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team happened to be the National Day on October 1, and the newspapers in the capital even shouted the slogan of taking Hong Kong and presenting gifts for the National Day.

The Chinese team may have forgotten, but the Hong Kong team has clearly not forgotten the taste of victory. Although the Hong Kong team also had a small episode of the Hong Kong family before the game, but when it really arrived on the field, it was a real job, and they were not ready to release the water at all!

In view of the fact that its overall strength is not as good as that of the Chinese team, the strategy formulated by the Hong Kong team before the game is to defend and counterattack, and the whole team will retreat in their own half to defend intensively, so that the Chinese team can press up and play, so as to open up space and create opportunities for raiding the opponent's backfield and making a decisive decision!

The Chinese team surrounded the Hong Kong team throughout the first half, but unfortunately could not make any progress under the tight defense of the opponent. In the second half, as the time passed, the Chinese team playing at home began to become more and more impatient, and the huge psychological pressure as the host made some players slowly lose their coolness.

Just like the plan arranged before the game, the Hong Kong team took advantage of the Chinese team's entire back line to press too forward, seized a chance to break the ball and a straight stopper, and the forwards who had been ready received the pass, ran all the way to the Chinese team's penalty area, and finally shook the goalkeeper to push the empty goal.

1-0, the Hong Kong team relied on this golden goal, and in the case of the whole game, the Chinese team was eliminated from the competition, and also reaped its best results in the Asian Games.

Nian Weisi, chairman of the Football Association, accompanied Wu Shaozu, director of the National Sports Committee and chairman of the Beijing-Beijing Asia Organizing Committee, to watch the whole game together, and his expression was undoubtedly very embarrassing. Before Wu Shaozu and Xu Jiankui negotiated to let domestic players play in the Hong Kong Super League, there was a sense of superiority in their words to help improve the level of Hong Kong football, but now they were nakedly slapped in the face!

Chairman Nian will not know that even if there is no Hong Kong team, there will be Thailand. In another time and space, the Chinese team also lost to the Thai team in an upset, thus missing the semi-finals of the Asian Games. The new generation of fans may only remember the humiliating history of the Thai team's 5-1 victory over the Chinese team, but they do not know that they actually taught the Chinese "pig" ball a lesson on the Chinese team's doorstep as early as 20 years ago.

In fact, in addition to Nian Weisi's embarrassment, there was also a group of people who were also a little helpless, that is, the cheerleaders of the Eastern Bloc. As one of the largest sponsors of this Asian Games, the Eastern Bloc will naturally have a large number of tickets for the games provided by the Asian Organizing Committee. Some of these tickets were donated to the partners of the Eastern Group, and the rest became additional benefits for the employees.

In particular, the employees who work in the capital themselves can get close to the water and get the first month. Having the opportunity to watch the Asian Games live should be a very commemorative event. If you can witness the Chinese athletes on the top podium, this experience is enough for you to brag to others for months!

But Liu Wei is very depressed now, and he realizes that he has chosen the wrong match. As a die-hard supporter of the Hong Kong Eastern team, he is even more familiar with the Hong Kong players on the pitch than the Chinese team. In particular, in the 23-man squad of the Hong Kong team, the players of the Oriental team alone occupy 6 places.

But as a Chinese, and the Asian Games held in the capital Beijing, he still hoped that the Chinese team could win from the bottom of his heart, but the result backfired, looking at a few Hong Kong colleagues around him cheering loudly, Liu Wei had an indescribable unhappiness!

He was one of the first employees recruited by the Oriental Group from the mainland, and after graduating from Tsinghua University, he was engaged in mobile communications research at the Oriental Research Institute. When Huaxing Technology was spun off from the Oriental Research Institute, he chose to join the newly established Huaxing Company as a CDMA technical expert.

This time, Huaxing Company cooperated with the Capital Telecommunications and Information Bureau to build the first 2G mobile communication network in China, and Liu Wei was the chief technical expert of the project. Eight years ago, as a recent college graduate, Liu Wei did not stay in school to teach or enter government ministries and commissions, but boldly chose to go south to join a Hong Kong-funded company.

At that time, the Eastern Bloc was far less famous in China than it is now, and he still clearly remembered his mood when he went south to the Deep Sea Special Zone, and he was both apprehensive and excited! Unexpectedly, time flew by, and eight years later, when he returned to the capital again, he had a feeling of returning to his hometown!
