After finishing the top 10 matches, Li Byrne rested for just 3 days, that is, the day of the draw between Qatar and Iran was already November 19th. The next day, the Suns will face the second round of this season's Asian Club Cup, and the opponent is the South China football team from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong South China is the oldest club in Asia, founded in 1904, that is, the 30th year of Guangxu. The most famous player in Nanhua is the famous Chinese football king – Li Huitang. Nanhua is also the most successful and popular team in Hong Kong, 28 league championships, and in another major event in Asia, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup has repeatedly played wonderfully, 93 seasons also won 3:0 Dalian team.94 also defeated Leonardo, Cafu and Bayano 4:2 victory over the South American Copa Libertadores champion Sao Paulo, although it is a commercial event, how much can also show the strength of this team, just take advantage of this game to touch the bottom of Nanhua, and after the game can talk to each other about merging into the Chinese Super League.

The South China team is in the golden age of the team, and there are Hong Kong-British people like Tambas and Barberly in the team, as well as Li Jian and the Hong Kong football bigwig, and their style of play is not the traditional British long pass and hanging, mainly on the side, but there are still more offensive ways in front of the penalty area. The values of the three largest cards are Tambas 71, Barberi 68, Li Jian and 69, which are already at the level of the national football team in the previous life, especially Li Jianhe plays very well in the right front position, breaking through sharply and is good at cutting inside to score.

In the first 20 minutes of the game on November 20, the two sides played back and forth, but when the Suns found that the opponent's attack was basically launched from the two wings, this time it was equivalent to finding the opponent's dead end. Gattuso and Ballack went more to help defend the wings, and Peng Er in the front court appropriately retreated to respond, and soon the Suns opened up the situation.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Trezeguet distributed the ball behind the left back of the South China team, Xie Feng used his speed to shake off the opponent, and accurately crossed to find Hu Yunfeng at the back post, who scored with a header. After this goal, the situation was completely controlled at the feet of the Guangzhou team, 1 minute before the end of the first half, the Nanhua defenders cleared not far away, Peng Er received the ball and sent the ball back to the French stick in the penalty area line, Trezeguet half-turned and volleyed into the far corner, the game was locked at 2:0 in the first half, and the Guangzhou team led.

In the second half, Guangzhou took advantage of the situation to score two more goals, and Nanhua pulled one back in the 83rd minute by leading scorer Tan Bas.

On the night of the game, Lee Bourne went to the hotel where the South China team was staying to visit the opponent's star Li Jianhe. After the door opened, Li Jianhe was surprised when he saw Li Byrne, and then quickly let the boy into the room. Li Jianhe, as the owner, opened the conversation first: "Oh, the big star has visited in person, welcome!"

"Brother He, don't laugh at me, I'm a junior here."

"Sit, sit first. Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something going on?"

"Well, it's really urgent, mainly because you will return to Hong Kong at noon tomorrow. That's why I took the liberty of coming uninvited, and I blamed my brother!"

"Where, let's have a glass of water first."

Li Boen took the water glass, took a sip and continued: "Thank you, that's the case, I don't know if Brother He has heard in Hong Kong that the mainland football association plans to expand the league, and intends to include the best clubs in the Hong Kong League into the future Chinese Football Super League."

Li Jianhe thought for a while and replied: "You said this, I have heard of it, in fact, as a player, this is a good thing!" First of all, Hong Kong Island has returned, and the fact that the clubs here can join the mainland league can also promote the communication and integration between the two places. Secondly, it is true that the level of the mainland league is much higher than that of the Hong Kong League League, which is also good for the growth of Hong Kong Island players. For so many years, we have actually been working behind closed doors, so it has always been difficult for the Hong Kong Football Team to continue to move forward, as a native of Hong Kong Island, this is also a big regret of mine. But the problem is that if top football players like Nanhua and Orient will be separated from the Hong Kong League One, there will be nothing left of football on Hong Kong Island."

"It's best if you can think like that, brother. First of all, our Hong Kong Island players are not excluded from playing football in the mainland. In fact, the problem you said is easy to solve, frankly speaking, it's not that I don't like Hong Kong A, but the problem exists, the bottleneck! There is no platform for the players to go further, in fact, if Nanhua participates in the mainland league, the core players of the team can be drawn out to form another team, and even the elite of the Hong Kong League, then first of all, the competitiveness of Nanhua in the mainland league can be greatly improved, and the remaining team strength of the Hong Kong League will be more evenly drawn, so that it can provide a large number of young players with room for growth. It means that we have provided an upward channel for Hong Kong Island football through this model. I don't know what Brother He thinks is so good?"

"Well, what you said is a good idea. In this way, I will go back and gather the heads of other clubs, this matter always has to be discussed by everyone, after all, the Hong Kong League has been in history for so many years, even if this is a good thing, but at the same time, there has never been a big change."

"That's okay, it's hard work and brother in this case."

"Hey, where is it, if this matter is really promoted, the Hong Kong Football Team will definitely benefit the most, and I have to thank you for it."

"Haha, then let's not be polite, there will be more places to deal with in the future. Oh yes, we Rice Sports will also give a certain amount of financial support to the Hong Kong League, in the final analysis, it is all for the future of Chinese football! Let's just say that today, and I won't disturb my brother to rest."

"Okay, feel free to contact us, I'll be the east when the game arrives on Hong Kong Island next week."

"Okay, we'll see you on Hong Kong Island."

"Goodbye."

The teenager's conversation with Li Jianhe can understand that the Football Association has also begun to negotiate with the Hong Kong Island side, but the progress may not be so fast, it seems that his side also has to help from it, and integrate Hong Kong Island football into the mainland league as soon as possible, which is a huge help for the expansion of the league in a small way. On a larger scale, as a newly returned Hong Kong Island, football can be a good bond, whether the future Hong Kong Island players want to represent the national team or the Hong Kong football team, so that the compatriots of the two places can understand and integrate with each other faster, football is very popular on Hong Kong Island.

Three days later, the Suns visited Shenzhen in the league, and the two sides played 1:1, with Trezeguet and Papin, the new and old French strikers, scoring goals. The former defender Huandao, who had just defeated the Suns in the last round, returned to the home stadium and drew with Beijing Guoan, who were second in the standings, and it seems that the so-called "Golden Trident" name this season has to be transferred from Shenzhen FIYTA to the vanguard Huandao.
