The final championship of the Far Eastern Games was also decided by the Chinese team against the Japanese team, the Chinese team also continued the main lineup, 17-year-old Li Huitang continued to play for the national team, because of the existence of the main center Huang Baisong, Li Huitang could only serve as an inside forward in the national team in the early days, he did not score in this game, but he also made a lot of contributions in the organization of the tandem, and shot vigorously from close range, hitting the opponent's goalkeeper's chest caused the Japanese goalkeeper to faint and be replaced, "Li Tiejiao" "kicked the dead" The nickname was also spread from this time, and it can only be said that the young man did not have a weight under his feet......

In the end, the Chinese team easily swept Japan with a score of 5-1 and successfully continued to defend the East Asian championship.

If you want to say that there is anything to say about this apart from Xiao Li-

There really is, one is that Ye Jiugao of the Chinese team scored a hat trick, and the other is that the Japanese team has finally scored a goal for the Chinese team since the formation of the team - in the 15th minute, because of the foul in the penalty area of the Chinese team, the Japanese team scored a penalty kick by Shimizu Nao-right Goal, and pulled a goal back, which was the first goal scored by Japan in the history of the Sino-Japanese national team.

What's more, just one minute into the opening game, the Chinese team took the lead, and Huang Baisong smashed the ball into the net with his chest to win the first goal of his international career......

Yes, the main force of the national team, who has been squeezing Li Huitang at his peak and unable to play center, and his header also exploded Xiao Li's "big star", and he participated in the 1919, 1921, and 1923 Far Eastern Games in a row, and it was only at this time that he scored the first goal of the national team, but he did not score as early as the 17-year-old Xiao Li, which shows that even in that era of scoring goals, it is not easy to score goals.

The strong are always strong.

The closing ceremony and award ceremony of the Far Eastern Games was held at the Central Auditorium in Osaka, where the Japanese Minister of the Interior presented the Chinese men's football team that won the championship – the first championship won by Li Qiuwang for the Chinese team.

Later, Zhao Xuri, the youngest international player of the Chinese team and the original creator of the youngest goal record, was 18 years and 4 days old when he scored (Xiao Li was still three or four months old at the time, which made Li Huitang very interested in seeing the "Zhao Yijiao" who replaced his "status" after coming out of the concentration camp, but after watching the deity and replacing the other party, Lao Li complained that this guy didn't look like he was only 33 years old, obviously much older than his 33-year-old appearance.

Could it be that he is also suspected of age fraud?

Xiao Li's speed of fame that year can be said to be very amazing, originally only three teams of young players, but just on behalf of the national team there was an amazing performance, naturally aroused wider attention in the industry, the Chinese team with the Far Eastern Transport delegation took the Niksen ship back to China, docked in Shanghai, and was invited to play with the Shanghai team, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of not having a domestic selection tournament before. In this game, Xiao Li was directly appointed as the main center, and Li Huitang, who played as the center forward in the opening 15 minutes, scored the second goal for the team, and finally Nanhua won 4-2. For the first time, the Shanghai fans who attended the stadium realized that this child's future is limitless, and for the first time he became famous in Shanghai. After playing this game, Nanhua planned to leave for Hong Kong, but Shanghai Football wanted to save face from the loss and invited another game, claiming that it would "play as well as the Shanghai Chinese elite", which was considered to be a "big confrontation between regions". Due to the excitement of the first game, coupled with the Shanghai fans' "common hatred and hatred" (when playing the national team flag, they naturally support the national team, and turning back to the Hong Kong team has become a competition between localities), the audience who bought tickets and entered the stadium was very large, and the stadium was crowded, and the grand occasion was rare in the Shanghai football world. In the face of the joint team composed of Shanghai football elites, Nanhua did not dare to slack off, and discharged the original main team of the Far Eastern Games to win the championship, and Huang Baisong also played to squeeze Xiao Li back to the position of the inside forward. The two sides attacked and defended each other, and the game was evenly matched, and Nanhua took the lead by Huang Baisong, but soon the Shanghai team used penalties to equalize the score. The game was deadlocked until the end of the game, Li Huitang jumped high and scored with a header, and the goalkeeper, who was unable to react, was at a loss to watch the ball into the net - laying the victory for Nanhua.

Obviously, this is one of the only two headers that Li Qiuwang has scored in his life (under the influence of Lu Zhuhu, the header became a ...... Three), so that Shanghai fans mistakenly think that this guy is not only good at his feet, but also very good at kung fu, which can be called all-round, and he naturally likes it. Huang Baisong scored twice at the whistle of the game, showing that he was still the leading brother, and finished the game 3-1. Shanghai's Ningbo and Shaoxing Associations and Guangzhao Associations specially made a big silver cup to give to Nanhua, with four big characters on the book, "I Wu Weiyang", in recognition of the Chinese team with Nanhua as the main body of the Far Eastern Games football championship five times - of course, with Li Huitang leaving Shanghai, the Chinese team began to have more players from all over the country and even overseas.

It is because there is a "mass base" in Shanghai at this time, and two years later, when Li Huitang and his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend "eloped" in order to escape marriage, they chose Shanghai as their destination, and fought hard in Shanghai football to create a world that belongs to the Chinese, basically the peak of their careers are dedicated to Shanghai fans.

This year is a very intensive year, in addition to the Far Eastern Games, there is also the Chinese team's expedition to Australia - that's right, Li Huitang's existing video of the game, "four people in a row", lying on the ground and shooting, "10,000 voices in the voice of the ball king" are all from this expedition.

After Lu Zhuhu's "first-hand" experience, he knew that among Li Huitang's group of international players, "Expedition to Australia" was a regular football exchange activity, and he also discovered Lu Zhuhu's good friend Zhou Xianyan in the game, and got to know Barcelona's former all-time scorer Wang Alcantara, "Australian Li Huitang" Poluk...... Of course, this was actually due to the background of the time, and it was even a misunderstanding at first......

The source of the misunderstanding is the difference between the two football words, "soccer" and "football......

Anyone who has studied English in junior high school knows that soccer is a special name for football in the United States, used to distinguish it from football, which is called football in the United States, and the same is true in Australia, and the league before the Australian Premier League is called "NationalSoccer League".

In 1922, the organizers of the rugby league between New Zealand and Australia thought that the football match of the Far Eastern Games was a rugby game, and felt that the Chinese team could dominate the Far East and its strength must be good (who knew that China still has no decent rugby team), so they sent the famous New Zealand sports commentator Henry Miller and rugby coach Hubitt and others to China, planning to invite a college rugby team to visit Australia. (During World War I, Miller led a battalion of Chinese soldiers to support the French front, and he had a very deep affection for the Chinese.) After the war, Miller returned to Australia, often promoted Sino-Australian friendship in newspapers, and also had a strong interest in the development of Chinese sports, which was a very early group of international friends. The old herald in Battlefield 1 may have been based on him. ）

As a result, when the "Australian Old Hats" arrived in Hong Kong, they found that they had made a mistake, China has not yet developed rugby, and there will be no rugby teams - but football has developed vigorously. So since Miller, an old friend of the Chinese people, came, he would definitely not come in vain, on the one hand, he went to the electric rugby club to explain the situation, and on the other hand, he turned to the Australian Football Association to propose to invite the Chinese football team to visit Australia. After being approved, Miller and Cubitt invited the Chinese side, hoping that China could select players from North China, East China, and South China to form a national team to visit Australia, and the cost would be borne by the Australian side.

In the end, the Chinese team selected 7 East China players, 6 North China players and 4 South China players to form a team, and the former "Great President" Li Yuanhong also sponsored it. After on-site observation, Miller also praised the level of the Chinese team, believing that it is comparable to Australia's strength. Finalize the itinerary. The North China players did not join in the end for some reasons, but Xiao Li, who shined as a fledgling, must be on the list. (It will be interesting to look back on it later, because there is even a "Korean" in the list - of course, the Korean Peninsula has been annexed by Japan at that time, and there is no Korean state, and many Koreans are living in exile in China.) The Shanghai defender named "Shen Guoquan" is also the only South Korean international player in the history of the Chinese team, of course, he was a Chinese national at first, and he only moved back after South Korea's independence and statehood. When he was a student, he studied at Shanghai Jiaotong University and successively worked at Yanxi University in South Korea (Yanxi...... Yanxi Raiders? In 1932 and 1948, he also participated in the Olympic Games twice as a member of the Chinese and South Korean delegations, and in 1932, he was the director of the gymnasium of the National Jiaotong University of China (the common predecessor of Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi'an Jiaotong University), and became a member of the 10th Olympic delegation of the Chinese team, and thus became one of the first people to represent China in the Olympic Games...... ）

This trip directly made Li Huitang from the national team star to the leader of Chinese football in the next 25 years (or even 40 years), after arriving in the first stop in Sydney, on August 11 against Australia's strongest regional team New South Wales, 40,000 spectators came to watch the game with curiosity, and in the rumors they all felt that the Chinese were still in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and did not believe that the Chinese team's football had any level, mostly curious mentality. As a result, in the face of the fierce rival, the Chinese team had no stage fright, first the teammate's strong shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and Li Huitang made up for it. After that, he won a free kick, and Li Huitang shot through the wall and into the net. In the opening 10 minutes, Li Huitang scored twice, giving the home team a dismount, which surprised the audience and amazed the creativity of such a young player of the Chinese team. However, the Australian's body has always been super strong, and he took the initiative as soon as he came up in the second half, not only quickly equalizing the score, but also taking advantage of the victory to chase down the score to 3-2. If it weren't for the Chinese team's historically excellent goalkeepers (the main goalkeeper at that time was Liu Qingxiang of Nanhua), I am afraid that they would continue to concede goals. But in the end, it was the 17-year-old Xiao Li who stepped up to save the team, scored a hat-trick, and finally fixed the score at 3-3. Although the Chinese team did not win the game, its pleasing passing and playing style and the amazing talent of the young genius were still praised by all parties. The Chinese team also used a ball game to change the stereotypical influence of the delicate local team Chinese.

It was not until November 17, for more than 3 months in Australia, that the Chinese team toured around the country to visit the competition, and then ended the trip and returned from Sydney. In all 24 games played in Australia, Li Huitang started all of them and scored 30 goals alone, accounting for half of the team's total goals, showing the explosive scoring power of a super scorer.

There is also an event that on August 18, the third game of the Chinese team to Australia was against the Australian national team at the Royal Agricultural Stadium in Sydney, according to the later FIFA statistical method, this is an international A-level event, I don't know if it is because of statistics or other problems, in FIFA statistics, Li Huitang's goal in the first half of the Australian national team is counted as his first "A-level competition" goal, in fact, he has scored a lot of goals for the national team before, It's no wonder that Hao Dacang was the all-time scorer of the national team - but it doesn't matter, this is enough to make Xiao Li the youngest player to score in the A-level game in the history of the national football team. Four games against the Australian national team, Li Huitang scored 4 goals, in the process of conquering Australia only turned 18 years old, fans naturally weigh what level this is, this kind of scoring ability is now is also an incredible thing, so far in addition to the World Cup and World Cup qualifiers during the captain, there are no other Chinese players can do it. At that time, Australian newspapers praised him as the most outstanding player in the national football team, and Xiao Li was also pursued by local girls with this.

Maybe it's in Australia to play a lot, Australia's last few games have a single game with 6 goals, the crazy hat trick, return to Southeast Asia, two consecutive big four games...... The level of goals has suddenly risen to a higher level, the data of Chinese players before that are all ordinary data, and the data of Chinese players after him are also ordinary data, it can only be said that Xiao Li is indeed an outlier.

After that, in 1925, at the 7th Far Eastern Games, Li Huitang, who was in good form, staged his pinnacle, scoring two goals in the first game against Japan, and then wearing a hat in the focus of the championship battle with his old rival Philippines, facing two fierce rivals and scoring five goals in two games, and his scoring ability is unparalleled in Asia.

If it weren't for the fact that he eloped and sold it in Shanghai for a period of time...... After the end of the 7th Far Eastern Games, in order to escape the arranged marriage at home, Li Huitang and his childhood sweetheart Liao Yueying eloped to Shanghai, and got married, and began to work as an insurance officer in Huaan Life Insurance Company...... Basically, everyone was persuading, and after thinking about it for a long time, they joined the Lequn football team and participated in the 1925-1926 Chinese League, but as soon as they made a move, it was extraordinary......

led the team to win the championship with an undefeated record......

No Chinese team had won the league until then......
