Since the media circulated that Wan Sheng may take over the Hong Kong team, to the Hong Kong Football Association held a press conference to announce that Wan Sheng became the coach of the Hong Kong team, during this time, Wan Sheng has just come to Hong Kong for a few days, has never seen the Hong Kong team, has not led the Hong Kong team to do any training, these are not a secret to the media, but now Wan Sheng said that the goal of leading the team is to win the championship?

He hasn't seen the Hong Kong team yet, has he?

When many media heard the news, they subconsciously felt incredible.

Hong Kong ...... Winning the Asian Cup? This is a myth bigger than the Greek myth of Euro 2004!

But if the myth is a little bigger, it will become a joke!

Many media outlets found it incredulous, and they even felt that they had heard it wrong, otherwise how could they hear that the Hong Kong team was related to winning the championship? After it was repeatedly confirmed that Wansheng did say the goal of winning the championship, the media felt that this young man must be crazy!

Hong Kong wins the championship...... Ha ha!

This is the best joke of 2007!

It's a pity that April Fool's Day has long passed, and there is no way to explain it with jokes.

Maybe this young man is serious, he has led the team in England very well, but he is leading Manchester City, Manchester City is already a Premier League powerhouse, coupled with the transfer of the club, if you can bring him the players he wants, it is naturally possible to compete for the title.

Hong Kong is different.

There are so many professional players in Hong Kong, there are no redundant players at all, and even part-time players in the Hong Kong team, they just rely on playing football, it is difficult to support themselves, how can such a semi-amateur team compete for the Asian Cup championship?

It's so unrealistic!

When Wan Sheng said that he won the championship, even the chairman of the Hong Kong Football Association, Leung Kwan-tak, smiled bitterly, he didn't know whether to support Wan Sheng, or what, let alone win the championship or something. He felt that it was impossible to qualify from the group, after all, the Hong Kong team was too 'amateur', and it was too difficult for the bottom team in Asia to qualify for the Asian Cup finals.

Chinese media reporters have an advantage, they don't refute anything on the spot, they clearly realize that they are just reporters, so after Wan Sheng said the goal of winning the championship, although they felt that it was unlikely, there were no reporters on the scene who stood up to refute it.

But then there was definitely a report.

For example, many mainstream media in Hong Kong, such as "Oriental Daily" and "Ta Kung Pao", all reported on the goals mentioned by Wan Sheng at the press conference. And some comments were also made.

The tone of "Ta Kung Pao" is stronger, they think that Wan Sheng is 'used to coaching big teams', "He doesn't understand the current situation of the Hong Kong team at all, and subconsciously feels that his goal of leading the team is to win the championship, but this is not realistic at all, maybe after the failure of coaching the Hong Kong team, he will regret taking over the Hong Kong team, because the Hong Kong team has no strength to win any good results in the Asian Cup, and qualifying is already an 'unimaginable' good result!" ”

'There's no denying he's a world-class manager. But in terms of leading small teams, he has little experience, and the Hong Kong team should be more practical and play against strong teams. Absorbing the experience of other teams, improving the quality of the whole team, and improving the overall level of Hong Kong football, this is what the Hong Kong team should do. ”

Article in the Oriental Daily. It was written by the young Fang Yongsheng, who was more passionate as a young man, and he praised the spirit of Wansheng. 'He's a passionate manager, you can hear it from his words. He coached the Hong Kong team, and he will definitely bring something new to Hong Kong football - tactical concepts, game experience, etc., and the Hong Kong Football Association has made a good decision. ”

After affirming Wan Sheng's ability, Fang Yongsheng wrote, "But it is unrealistic for Hong Kong to want to win the championship, maybe we should remind him to be mentally prepared." It's good to set the goal high and far, but it can be too high and too far, and it is difficult to accept the result when it is easy to fail, and the Hong Kong team is still the most practical to aim for the appearance of the group. ”

Hong Kong's mainstream "Oriental Daily" and "Ta Kung Pao" both think so, and one can imagine how unfavorable the Hong Kong media are about the 'champion slogan' put forward by Wan Sheng.

The media in Chinese mainland reported a similar situation.

Some mainland media said, "No matter how weak the Chinese team is, it must be stronger than the Hong Kong team." In this Asian Cup, 'Zhu Jiajun' didn't dare to set the goal of winning the championship, and what confidence did Hong Kong, China have to say that he wanted to win the championship? ”

"The 7:0 three years ago is still vivid, Hong Kong, China is the last in Asia, and it is incredible that they have set the goal of qualifying."

"In the Asian Cup finals, a total of 16 teams participated, and qualifying from the group means entering the quarterfinals, which is a very proud achievement for the Hong Kong team, and the Hong Kong team should be more pragmatic and take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the Asian Cup to increase more experience in the competition, which is what they should do."

The media in Chinese mainland also analyzed the intensity of this Asian Cup from the perspective of various teams, believing that Hong Kong 'wants to qualify is also unrealistic' because Hong Kong is in Group A.

In Group A, the seeded team is Australia, which is completely higher than the Asian level, in addition, there are also Iraq and Thailand in the group, Iraq is also a strong team, is the favorite to qualify for Group A, in contrast, Thailand's strength is worse, but compared with the Hong Kong team, Thailand is also a strong team.

Therefore, it is very unrealistic for Hong Kong, China to emerge from Group A.

"If he wants to say the slogan 'champion', it should also be after qualifying from the group." Soccer Weekly says so.

At the same time, some netizens on the Internet also commented on this, and the result was that almost everyone was not optimistic about the Hong Kong team having a chance to win the championship, or even the Hong Kong team had a chance to qualify, and even the supporters of Wansheng were not optimistic, and their explanation for this was, "Wansheng is just shouting a slogan to boost morale, he actually doesn't really want to win the championship, and the slogan of the championship will make the Hong Kong team full of fighting spirit and more likely to achieve good results." ”

This statement was unanimously recognized.

Wan Sheng is still very popular in China, he is the most accomplished head coach in China, so even if the media and fans question his words, they will not slander him personally, but only have some doubts about the slogan, and these doubts are mainly focused on the strength of the Hong Kong team.

In short, strength is everything, and there is no point in shouting champions without strength.

After Wan Sheng shouted the 'championship slogan', almost no one responded to him, including the Hong Kong Football Association, who felt that it was impossible to achieve.

In the atmosphere of public opinion that the whole world is negative, Wan Sheng doesn't care at all, he doesn't need the recognition of the media and fans, what he needs to do is to work towards the goal.

On the second day of the press conference, Wan Sheng officially took over the Hong Kong team.

He arrived at Mong Kok Stadium to meet the players and have their first day of training.

Mong Kok Stadium, commonly known as Mong Kok Stadium by Hong Kong citizens, was originally known as Huahui Municipal Stadium, formerly known as Army Stadium, located in Huahui Road, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, is an outdoor multi-purpose recreation and sports venue in Hong Kong, mainly holding football matches, with a capacity of 8,500 people.

Compared to the large stadiums in England, this stadium is much smaller, but it is also enough as a training ground for Hong Kong to prepare for the Asian Cup, so the Hong Kong Football Association chose this place for the team to train and prepare for the game.

The whole Hong Kong team was assembled yesterday, and today is also their first day of training, and every player came early, perhaps because they all wanted to meet Wan Sheng, the 'legendary best coach in China'.

Wan Sheng came to the court and met Fan Zhiyi.

At the welcome banquet, Wansheng asked Fan Zhiyi about the situation, after learning that he was just staying in Hong Kong and had no job for the time being, he invited Fan Zhiyi to serve as an assistant coach during his time leading the team in Hong Kong, Fan Zhiyi only thought about it and agreed, he actually always wanted to become a football coach, but he was not successful in leading the team before, and now it is very difficult to serve as an assistant to a world-class coach like Wansheng, so he cheered up early this morning and came to Mong Kok Stadium to do some training and preparation work.

On the training ground, Fan Zhiyi gathered the team, and Wan Sheng also met with the players of the Hong Kong team.

He stood solemnly in front of all the team members.

There are several well-known players in Hong Kong, the best of which is Wu Weichao, who plays for Shanghai Shenhua, and the rest of the players all play for clubs in Hong Kong, most of them from Hong Kong Yuyuan and Hong Kong Dawn.

These players are not famous at all, some players who are a little famous in the world are big stars in their eyes, such as Wansheng, a first-class coach, in their opinion, it is absolutely superior, they can't imagine that one day they can play under a coach of this level, so many players are very excited and excited.

At the same time, many people also think that they must perform well, in case they are favored by Wansheng and brought to the Premier League, then they can also become a big star.

There is more than one player who thinks this way, in fact, almost everyone, including those veterans, will think this way to a greater or lesser extent, so they are looking forward to seeing Wan Sheng.

But what I actually saw was a little different from what I expected.

They had seen Wan Sheng in the TV report, but after seeing him, many of them felt that he was really a young man in front of him, and even looked smaller than some of them.

30 years old?

I guess they're all under 30 years old!

How did you achieve so much in the Premier League at such a young age? In particular, he is also a football coach...... It's incredible just to think about it.

So some people's minds have changed.

Do you just want to win the appreciation of this peer? This feels weird, and the other party is too young!

Wan Sheng doesn't care what they think.

He stood solemnly in front of the team, his eyes swept over everyone, and then he suddenly sighed and said, "I said in front of reporters that my goal is to win the championship, and almost no one believes me, some people think I'm crazy, but I ignore them because I think there is nothing difficult in the world...... But now, I realize I was wrong. Because of the Hong Kong team I saw...... It's just good for nothing! ”

Wan Sheng pointed hard at everyone and emphasized loudly, "Yes, I'm just talking about you, you guys are simply useless!" (To be continued.) )
