Chapter 307: Qualifying in advance

In order to break through the goal of Hong Kong, Thailand, at almost no cost, Chavet used up three substitutions early, and all he replaced were frontcourt players in order to increase efficiency in front of the goal.

However, Hong Kong, China, has a very tight defense.

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

Hong Kong, China, acts like being strictly guarded.

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

The team can't have a chance, but they must not give it a chance, so the most important thing is defense.

Although the game was very passive, Hong Kong, China, was not in a hurry because they were the leading side. As long as the team did not concede the goal, they felt very at ease.

The feeling of leading scores is enough to support them until the end.

The more anxious the Thai team is to score goals, the less they can find a good opportunity. The continuous transmission outside the penalty area is difficult to break through the intensive defense of Hong Kong, and the repeated clearances of Hong Kong, can consume more time.

In this situation, time passes by minute by minute.

2 minutes.

1 minute.

30 seconds.

Finally, Thailand's last wave of attack was directly intercepted by the Hong Kong defender in China. Then the football was kicked out of the sideline, and the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the game.

The whole game ends.

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

At the moment the whistle sounded, all the supporters from Hong Kong, China shouted excitedly.

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

"This is the second victory of Hong Kong in the Asian Cup group stage, two games. Two games, they created the miracle of Hong Kong football! Before the game, if someone said that Hong Kong would defeat Thailand, they would definitely be considered a lunatic. Hong Kong has created a miracle to win Australia, and they still want to continue to create miracles and win Thailand again? But now! We have seen that Hong Kong in China has won another game!"

"Two 1:0, two wins!"

"In Group A, China and Hong Kong won two consecutive victories and scored 6 points, the host Thailand team had 1 draw and 1 loss in two games, with only 1 point. The match between Iraq and Australia has not started yet. Iraq has 1 point in the two teams, and Australia has no points yet. In other words, no matter who wins and who loses tomorrow, China and Hong Kong have confirmed to lock in a group qualifying place in advance!"

"Congratulations to Hong Kong, China, they miraculously became the first team to be sure to advance to the quarterfinals!"

"This is a heart-warming agent for the development of Hong Kong football in China. Looking back on history, the last time they entered the Asian Cup finals was in 1968. After nearly 40 years, they entered the Asian Cup finals, but there is also some 'luck component'. No one expected that this team would have the opportunity to qualify in the fiercely competitive Group A..."

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

"But in such a fiercely competitive group, Hong Kong, China, only two games have been played, and this is a result that can be called 'great'!"

"In the last game against Australia, Hong Kong, China and Hong Kong showed tenacity. They relied on solid defense to allow Australia to score in 90 minutes. In this game against the host Thailand team, Hong Kong, China, showed a positive side. They fought with the Thai team for most of the game. In the end, they relied on the goal of the forward Chen Zhaoji to defeat the host Thailand team. As a result, we witnessed the appearance of the first 'dark horse' in the Asian Cup. Not to mention whether this dark horse team can last until the end, but their quality is absolutely pure. We can hardly imagine what kind of performance they will perform in the quarterfinals. Whether they will lose to a strong team in one game or go further in the Asian Cup, let them wait and see!"

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

Super Sports S channel commentator Gao Jixian attributed the reasons why China and Hong Kong achieved good results were all attributed to Wan Sheng, because he couldn't think of why this Hong Kong team, which has no stars and is very mediocre, could defeat Australia and the host Thailand team in a row. "The key figure we must talk about in order to win two consecutive victories in Hong Kong in China is their head coach Wan Sheng."

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

"It was just a rumor, but not many people believed it at that time. After all, Wan Sheng is the head coach of Manchester City club in the Premier League. If Hong Kong, China, wants to invite Wan Sheng to coach, Manchester City club must nod and agree. But unexpectedly, Hong Kong football always confirmed the news in early June that Wan Sheng will lead Hong Kong in China to compete in the Asian Cup!"

"But the news has only been hot for a while. Everyone thinks that China and Hong Kong are too poor. Even if they come to coach the world's famous coaches, it will be difficult to achieve good results in the Asian Cup. But unexpectedly, after preparing for training, after participating in the first Asian Cup, China and Hong Kong can create miracles to defeat the strongest Australian team in the group!"

"We can say that after Wan Sheng led Derby County in the Premier League and Manchester City created the championship miracle respectively, he came to the Asian Cup again!"

"Many European media say that Wan Sheng is a head coach who is good at creating miracles. We are far away from Europe. Most interviews and reports only know the team and players. It is difficult to truly understand this. Now, Hong Kong, China led by Wan Sheng, is a team in the Asian Cup, and we can see the miracle happening on the spot!"

"This is really a miracle!"

"Before the opening of the Asian Cup, who would have thought that Hong Kong, China, would have the opportunity to qualify in Group A? Go further. Who would have imagined that Hong Kong China, China, would have only two games to determine the quota of the group?"

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

"At that time, he said in front of media reporters that when China and Hong Kong's goal was to win the championship, almost everyone just listened to it as a joke. But now who dares to say that China and Hong Kong have no hope of winning the championship?" The commentator of channel commentator Gao Jixian ended with a question, but it touched everyone deeply.

really!

Now that they have been confirmed to qualify for two games in Hong Kong, China, 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 is celebrating victory.

"Haha! We won! We defeated the Thai team! Australia and Thailand. We can be sure to qualify in advance for two wins!"

Fan Zhiyi shouted excitedly at the top of his voice.

Wan Sheng smiled, "Don't be too excited, have you been mentally prepared?"

"That's just before the game. 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. But now we qualify earlier than the Chinese team. I really can't imagine what the domestic media would say and what domestic fans would think!"

"Don't the Chinese team have hope of qualifying for two games?"

"It's just hope." Fan Zhiyi shook his head and said, "I won the first game, and there will definitely be hope for the second game, but every time I'm disappointed. I think China has a great hope of qualifying, but two games... are very difficult!"

Wan Sheng patted Fan Zhiyi on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, we have already qualified. I am now the head coach of Hong Kong, China, and you are my assistant coach. We represent Hong Kong, China, and we must be happy for the team's qualifying. As for other teams, that's not what we should care about."

After hearing this, Fan Zhiyi nodded.

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

While the two were talking, the others on the coach's seat and the players on the court also came over, and everyone cheered together. Then the coach took the players back to the locker room, sorted out their things and prepared to leave.

At the same time, Wan Sheng also went to the press conference.

Many reporters at the scene were waiting for Wan Sheng to arrive. Hong Kong, China and Hong Kong defeated Thailand. They won two consecutive victories in Group A of the Asian Cup and used this to lock in the group qualifying place in advance. This result is really amazing. Every reporter wants to interview Wan Sheng and ask him how Hong Kong, China, did it specifically.

But unfortunately, Wan Sheng was not interested in explaining the 'miracle creation process' and there was no need to meet the requirements of media reporters. After coming to the venue, he only said one sentence, "Did you see it? I said before that if the Thais want to end their embarrassing record, they can only wait for the next Asian Cup."

"really!"

Wan Sheng said and asked, and hated Thai reporters that gritted their teeth, but they had no choice because it had become a fact.

The Thai team lost the game, Chavet's morale-enhancing slogan became empty talk, and the Chinese coach in front of him became the winner. The Hong Kong team he led won the qualifying spot in advance with a record of winning both games.

Anyone will be surprised when thinking about the achievements of Hong Kong, China.

The Thai journalists were also very unwilling to give up, but they could only expose their anger on coach Chavet. Many reporters had already drafted the report and waited to go back and questioned the Thai team directly with the report.

Beckham and Ronaldo are the Lagamangala National Stadium that follows the fans.

As the crowds were running, neither of them spoke, as if they were recalling the game that had just passed. It was not until they turned around and Beckham said, "How about it, Louis, I'd better win!"

Ronaldo sighed helplessly.

He didn't expect that the game really turned out to what Beckham said, and Hong Kong, China, finally won. Although the game was very difficult, and even in the end, Hong Kong China, almost lost its power to fight back, but he won. At the same time, he was more interested in Wansheng's "magical means".

This is the Asian Cup!

Although Ronaldo doesn't look down on the Asian Cup, he admits in his heart that the Asian Cup still has a certain amount of value, and the competition in Group A, where Hong Kong, China, is very fierce, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the Death Group.

Take the strength of Hong Kong, China, for example. Perhaps any group can be called the "death group", but in this case, the Chinese asked the team to confirm the qualifying place in two games, which is a bit amazing!

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

He was very puzzled by this.

You know, yesterday Ronaldo watched the preparation training in Hong Kong, China for a day in the training venue in Hong Kong, China. The training was nothing special, and the tactics were even simpler. However, such a team created a record of defeating Australia and Thailand in succession.

It's incredible!

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

"Don't look forced, I'm for your own good." Beckham smiled.

"Yes, I get it."

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

"You mean?"

Ronaldo shrugged.

"You are asking Wansheng's team to where it will go?" Beckham thought about it and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. I'm sure Wansheng can lead the team to achieve good results, but it's not clear which step it can be. After all, they are just Hong Kong, China."

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

"I hope I can stay longer, and it's a vacation here. By the way, I'm going to Hong Kong in two days. Oliveira is already there, and I'm going to do some commercial promotion there."

"Is there a job?" Ronaldo was puzzled.

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

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

"The contract has not been finalized yet, but there should be no problem." (To be continued.)
