Reborn on Top of Football

Today's Xiaoxiwan Stadium is unexpectedly full of friends. Although the capacity of 12,000 people is indeed smaller, the population of Hong Kong itself is not large, and many of them are mainland fans from Shenzhen crossing the border. As can be seen from the live TV footage, there are large slogans and banners on the stands. Although the two sides have a source of unbearable recollection, at least in the beginning of the century in Hong Kong, there were not so many Twenty-five, anti-bones, even when the national anthem was played, many Hong Kong fans sang along.

The song stopped, the Thai referee Meng Kong looked down at his watch, raised his whistle, and the game began.

Immediately after the opening, the Chinese team planned a highly threatening attack. Xiao Zhanbo blocked a half-high ball in the midfield, Hao Haidong stopped the ball and turned to volley. Hong Kong goalkeeper Fan Junye rushed out to resolve the threat. Although Hao Haidong's shot did not score, he cracked the unfavorable news about his injury, cold and so on before the game. The Xiaoxiwan Stadium and the fans waiting in front of the TV took a long breath.

In the small conference room of the Beijing Guoan Club, the commentary from the big color TV set echoed in the room. The green turf in front of the camera, the red Hong Kong uniform, and the white Chinese uniform reflected the faces of several people. No one noticed this funny scene, everyone was watching the game intently. When Hao Haidong's regrettable shot failed, the expressions of several people suddenly came to life.

"Ah!" Liu Lifu patted his thigh: "This, this Hong Kong goalkeeper is good."

Lu Jianren smiled and said, "It's still early, the game was just a minute."

Jin Zhiyang rubbed his chin and leaned on the sofa without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking. Liu Wenxiong took another piece of paper from his pocket and bowed his head while watching the game. Jin Zhiyang came over and found that the above are the main points of the national team ’s meeting during the pre-match preparation. It clearly stated: The turf quality of Xiaoxiwan Stadium is not good. Good, too soft, not suitable for ground cooperation.

Jin Zhiyang knew something and turned to look at the camera: "Is it raining again?"

The two looked at each other and didn't talk anymore. The rainy battle of the Olympics against Malaysia in Wuhan a few days ago was impressive. This time the national team encountered a shorter team.

"I know this." Liu Lifu pointed at the camera and said, "This Xiaoxiwan Stadium was just eight years old. It was originally a land parcel built by Hong Kong's reclamation, so the quality of the land is not good. Compared with the Hong Kong Stadium, it is worse. a lot of."

As is being said, in the collision between the left-back Sun Jihai and the opponent on the Chinese team's field, although he knocked open the opponent, he also fell and fell, and stood angrily and stomped the turf.

"That's the way away." Jin Zhiyang shook his head. "They go wherever they want to go. They are short and light. This softer turf is nothing, but we are tall and heavy. We step on a pit. Hai has adapted to the high-intensity competition there in the UK, and it stands to reason that he couldn't stand as soon as he came on. This can only be said that the court here is really bad. "

The strong overall offensive of the Chinese team and the outstanding physical advantages of the players are very obvious in front of the Hong Kong team. Although Hong Kong coach Li Xinxiang tried his best to push the formation of the Hong Kong team, unlike the first game between Kuwait and the Chinese team The ball was so ugly in the half, but slowly, the poor Hong Kong team was still suppressed by the Chinese team. If the court is divided into ten parts, the Chinese team will account for six, and the Hong Kong team will only have two forwards in the middle circle, and the rest will be in the half court. The offensive and defensive situation is obvious.

But such a favorable situation did not let the few people watching the ball relax, but the dark clouds of history lingered in his mind. Whether it was the Guoan Club watching the game, or the Liaoning Football Club watching the game, or the Chongming Island watching the game, the Xianghe base watching the game, almost all Chinese professional football players did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

On May 19, 19 years ago, China could qualify as long as it tied the weak travel to Hong Kong. However, it lost 1: 2 and the World Cup tour was forced to end.

Coincidentally, Wang Ai and Zhao Xuri, who were on the bench at Xiaoxiwan Stadium at the moment, also just said this.

"Boss, I wondered how we lost at the beginning. I watched the video of that match a while ago. Really, we really dominated the whole court! Then there are two opportunities that Hong Kong people will seize. Yes, the first was a direct free kick to hit the goal, we were not prepared, and the second was that our defender made a mistake and then lost. "Zhao Xuri crossed her legs, put her elbows on her thighs, and her hands on her chin. Meditation: "I remember it was raining that day, and we were ahead of the game, so to speak ... yeah, we can't lose again today, right?"

Wang Ai turned a deaf ear to Zhao Xuri's chatter. He was pondering how to learn from Ronaldinho, and was distressed by this problem. After returning to China for a week, he repeatedly watched several Ronaldo video games he brought back from Spain. As if his creativity was born.

"Boss, what do you want to say!" Zhao Xuri arched Wang Ai with his shoulders, and Wang Ai then thought: "What?"

Zhao Xuri reluctantly repeated it again, Wang Ai said "Ha", "May 19th, it is also easy to say. Before the game, I did not look down on the Hong Kong team and thought that at least two goals won. After all, we are the second in the Asian Cup. The Hong Kong team is the opposite of us. In 1984, the Chinese and British sides signed an agreement confirming the return of Hong Kong in 1997. At that time, the Hong Kong stock market was in a state of sorrow. The British were a world-renowned scumbag. The weather in Britain is the same, and the sun cannot be seen, so the eyebrows created a lot of panic in the Hong Kong society. The Hong Kong team was the continent that came down in such a mood. At the time, the mainland was backward and Hong Kong was very developed.

"What then?" Zhao Xuri said, staring curiously.

"Then? We are proud and arrogant, Hong Kong is full of sorrowful soldiers. Then we are inadvertently lost in Jingzhou, Hong Kong is played at an extra level. So, football is round, and everything can happen."

"Then this?"

Wang Ai turned his head strangely and looked up at Zhao Xuri: "I said that you are also a National Youth, National Olympics, and National Triple Ahead. It seems as if you are superstitious with me. Others don't say, I am here, can I lose?"

Zhao Xuri shook his head: "Although I really want to ridicule you for your bad behavior, but I have to say that you are justified."

"Hey, it's not all." Wang Ai took Zhao Xuri's shoulders. "It changed around 19 years ago, and today's Hong Kong team has no momentum to win the original tragedy, and we, have you read the newspaper these days? ? Everywhere is said 519, although this will definitely make us more urgent, but it also proves that it will be thoroughly researched, and there will be no surprises ... "

"Oh!" Zhao Xuri screamed, pointing to the field: "No accident?"
