Chapter 307: Qualifying in Advance

In order to break through the gate of Hong Kong, China, the Thai team almost at all costs, Chaveit used up three substitutions early, and all the players he replaced were frontcourt players, in order to increase the efficiency in front of the goal.

However, Hong Kong, China is very closely guarded.

All the players returned to the backcourt to participate in the defense, even the two forwards Zhuo Zhuo and Chen Zhaoji were blocked in front of the penalty area.

Hong Kong, China, put on a guarded appearance.

Defense and offense are two extremes. In the case of retreating across the board, even if the Thai team has a large space in the backcourt, Hong Kong, China is unable to use the space to create threats, because they have put all their energy on defense. Every player knows that as long as the team can keep a clean sheet, they can win the game, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack. Not to mention whether they can score a goal or not, the defense will definitely be worse, then the Thai team will have a chance.

The team has no chance, but it must not give the opponent a chance, so the most important thing is to defend.

Although the game was played very passively, Hong Kong, China played in no hurry, because they were the leading side, and as long as the team kept a clean sheet, they felt very at ease.

The feeling of being ahead was enough to support them to the end.

The more the Thai team is in a hurry to score goals, the more difficult it is to find good opportunities. The constant passing outside the penalty area makes it difficult to break through the intensive defense of Hong Kong, China, and Hong Kong, China's repeated clearances can make time consume more. .

In this situation, time passes minute by minute.

2 minutes.

1 minute.

30 seconds.

Finally, Thailand's last wave of attack was directly stolen by the defender of Hong Kong, China. After that, the football was kicked out of the touchline, and the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The whole game is over.

In the second round of Group A of the Asian Cup, Hong Kong, China won the host Thailand 1:0 and won the second game of the group.

At the moment when the whistle sounded, all the supporters of Hong Kong, China were present. All shouted excitedly.

They understand the meaning of victory - 3 points, and qualifying!

————

"This is Hong Kong's second win in the Asian Cup group stage, two games, two wins, they have created a miracle of Hong Kong football! Before the game. If anyone said that Hong Kong, China will beat Thailand. It will definitely be considered as Maniac, Hong Kong, China has already won Australia by a miracle, they still want to continue to create miracles and win Thailand? But now! We see that Hong Kong, China has won another game!"

"Two 1:0, two victories!"

"In Group A, Hong Kong, China has 6 points for two consecutive victories. The host Thailand team has 1 draw and 1 loss. There is only 1 point. The game between Iraq and Australia has not yet started. Iraq has 1 point among the two teams, and Australia has not yet. Points, that is to say, no matter who wins the match between Iraq and Australia tomorrow, Hong Kong, China has determined to lock in a group qualification in advance!"

"Congratulations to Hong Kong, China, they miraculously became the first team to qualify for the quarterfinals!"

"This is an exciting booster for the development of football in Hong Kong, China. Going back to history. The last time they entered the Asian Cup final was in 1968. Now, after nearly 40 years, they have entered the Asian Cup final, but There is also some 'luck factor', no one expected this team to have a chance to qualify in the highly competitive Group A..."

"In Group A, Australia is recognized as the strongest team, Iraq has always been good at creating miracles, they are also the second strongest team in the group, and Thailand, as the strongest team among the four hosts, is also the most promising team to enter the quarter-finals. In contrast, almost no one is optimistic about Hong Kong, China."

"But in such a highly competitive group, Hong Kong, China has only confirmed the group's place after only two games. This is a result that can be called 'great'!"

"The last game against Australia, Hong Kong, China showed tenacity. They relied on a solid defense to allow Australia to score in 90 minutes. In this game against the host Thailand, Hong Kong, China showed a positive attitude. On the one hand, they spent most of the game fighting head-on with the Thai team. In the end, they relied on striker Chen Zhaoji's goal and defeated the host Thailand team. From this, we witnessed the first 'dark horse' of the Asian Cup. 'Appears, whether this dark horse team can last to the end is not to be said, but their quality is absolutely pure, we can't imagine what kind of performance they will have in the quarter-finals, whether they will lose to a strong team in one game, or Let them wait and see if they can go further in the Asian Cup!"

While praising the achievements of Hong Kong, China, the media commentator did not forget to analyze the reasons why Hong Kong, China can achieve good results, so what must be talked about is the coach of Hong Kong, China Wan Sheng.

Super Sports S channel commentator Gao Jixian attributed the reasons for Hong Kong's good results to Wansheng, because he couldn't think of why this Hong Kong team, which had no stars and had mediocre strength, could beat Australia and China in a row. The host Thailand team, "Hong Kong, China can achieve two consecutive victories. The key person we must talk about is their head coach Wan Sheng."

"In April, the media reported that the Chinese Football Association invited Wan Sheng to coach the Chinese team. Later, due to various considerations, the Chinese Football Association believed that Zhu Guanghu would be more suitable to continue to lead the team. Then in mid-May, it was reported in Hong Kong that Wan Sheng might lead the Chinese team. Hongkong."

"It was just a rumor, but not many people believed it at the time. After all, Wan Sheng is the coach of the Premier League Manchester City Club. If Hong Kong wants to invite Wan Sheng to coach, the Manchester City Club must nod and agree, but what I didn't expect is that in early June, the Hong Kong Football Association Once the news is confirmed, Wansheng will lead Hong Kong to the Asian Cup!"

"But the news has only been hot for a while. Everyone thinks that Hong Kong, China is too weak. Even if a world famous coach is coached, it will be difficult to achieve good results in the Asian Cup. What I didn't expect is that after preparing for the training, participating in the Asian Cup. In the first game, Hong Kong, China can create a miracle to defeat the strongest Australian team in the group!"

"We can say that Wansheng has come to the Asian Cup after successively leading Derby County and Manchester City to create miracles in the Premier League."

"Many European media have said that Wan Sheng is a head coach who is good at creating miracles. We are far from Europe, and most of the interviews and reports only know about the team and players. It is difficult to really appreciate this. . It is the Asian Cup team, and we can see the miracle happen on the spot!"

"This is truly a miracle!"

"Before the opening of the Asian Cup, who would have thought that Hong Kong, China would have a chance to qualify for Group A? Going further, who would dare to imagine that Hong Kong, China would only use two games to determine the place in the group?"

"No one! No one! Except... Wansheng himself!"

"He said it in front of the media reporters. When Hong Kong, China's goal was to win the championship. Almost everyone listened to it as a joke, but now who dares to say that Hong Kong, China has no hope of winning the championship?"

S channel commentator Gao Jixian's commentary ended with a question, but it touched everyone deeply.

really!

Now that the two games in Hong Kong, China are confirmed to qualify, no one dares to say that they have no hope of winning the championship!

————

Amid the hustle and bustle of the stadium, Hong Kong, China, was celebrating the victory.

"Haha! We won! We beat Thailand! Australia, Thailand, two wins. We can be sure to qualify early!"

Fan Zhiyi shouted excitedly.

Wan Sheng smiled. "Don't get too excited, aren't you mentally prepared?"

"That was just before the game, and I still think all this is incredible!" Fan Zhiyi said, "Hong Kong, China! When I was in the Chinese team, I always looked down on the Hong Kong team because they were so bad. The Chinese team qualified earlier, I really can't imagine what the domestic media will say and what domestic fans will think!"

"Isn't the Chinese team also hoping to qualify for two games?"

"There is only hope." Fan Zhiyi shook his head. Dao said, "We won the first game. There is definitely hope in the second game, but every time it is a disappointment. I think China has a great chance of qualifying, but two games... enough!"

Wan Sheng patted Fan Zhiyi's shoulder and said, "Anyway, we have already qualified. I am the head coach of Hong Kong, China, and you are my assistant coach. We represent Hong Kong, China. Happy to qualify, as for the other teams, that's not our concern."

Fan Zhiyi nodded after listening.

After all, he has just retired, and his mentality has not been fully adjusted, so he still can't let go of the Chinese team.

While the two were talking, other people on the coaching bench and the players on the field also came over, and everyone cheered together. After that, the coach took the players back to the locker room, packed their things and prepared to leave.

At the same time, Wansheng also went to the press conference site.

Many reporters at the scene were waiting for the arrival of Wansheng. Hong Kong, China defeated the Thailand team and won two consecutive victories in the Asian Cup Group A, and thus locked in the group qualifications in advance. This kind of achievement is really amazing, and every reporter wants to interview Go to Wansheng and ask him how Hong Kong, China did it.

But unfortunately, Wansheng didn't dare to be interested in explaining the 'miracle creation process' at all, and there was no need to meet the requirements of media reporters. After arriving at the venue, he only said one sentence, "See? That said, if the Thais want to end their embarrassing record, they will have to wait for the next Asian Cup."

"really!"

Wan Sheng demanded while talking, so hated that Thai reporters gritted their teeth, but they had no choice, because this has become a fact.

The Thai team lost the game, Chaveit's slogan of boosting morale became empty talk, and the Chinese coach in front of him became the winner. The Hong Kong team he led won the two games and secured the qualifying place in advance.

Anyone who thinks of Hong Kong's achievements will be amazed.

The Thai reporters were also very unwilling, but they could only put their anger on the coach Chavit. Many reporters had already prepared the draft of the report, and after waiting to go back, they used the report to question the Thai team directly.

Beckham and Ronaldo followed the fans out of the Rajamangala National Stadium.

As the crowd walked, neither of them said a word, both seemed to be reminiscing about the game that just passed, and it wasn't until they turned the corner that Beckham said, "How is it, Louis, I still won. !"

Ronaldo sighed helplessly.

He didn't expect that the game was really like what Beckham said. Hong Kong, China finally won. Although the game was very difficult, and even in the end, Hong Kong, China was almost powerless to fight back, but if he won, he won. At the same time, he I am also more interested in Wansheng's 'magical means'.

This is the Asian Cup!

Although Ronaldo does not look down on the Asian Cup, he also admits that the Asian Cup still has a certain amount of gold, and the competition in Group A where Hong Kong, China is located is very fierce. It is not an exaggeration to call it the group of death.

Take the strength of Hong Kong, China, maybe any group can be called the 'group of death', but in this case, the Chinese let the team determine the qualifying place in two games, which is also a little bit. Amazing!

Like those media reporters, Ronaldo wanted to ask, "How on earth did he do it?"

He was very puzzled.

You know, Ronaldo was in the training venue in Hong Kong, China yesterday, and watched a day of preparation training in Hong Kong, China. There was nothing special about the training, and the tactics were very simple, but such a team has created a record of consecutive defeats to Australia and Thailand. .

Incredible!

Ronaldo was very confused, but he also had to admit that the Chinese really had some tricks, so after Beckham said it, he sighed and said, "Okay, okay, you win, I will fulfill it Promise, insist on training here."

"Don't look forced, I'm doing it for your own good." Beckham laughed.

"yes, I got it."

"However, David." Ronaldo looked at Beckham, his expression became serious and serious, "How long do you think we can stay here?"

"Do you mean?"

Ronaldo shrugged.

"You're asking Wansheng's team to get to that point?" Beckham thought about it and said, "To be honest, I don't know. I'm sure Wansheng can lead the team to achieve good results, but the specifics will be It's not clear which step, after all, they're just Hong Kong, China."

Ronaldo said, "Yeah, it's a miracle that they can qualify."

"I wish I could stay longer. It's considered a vacation here. By the way, I'm going to Hong Kong in two days. Oliveira is already there, and I'm going there to do a business promotion."

"Have a job?" Ronaldo wondered.

Beckham nodded and said, "I have promised Wansheng to be the image ambassador of the Tagalwan Group in China."

Ronaldo rolled his eyes, "So you are already his employee."

"The contract has not been finalized, but it should be fine." (To be continued ~^~)
