"You don't know either, haha." Seeing Xiaomeng's expression, Chen Zhuo smiled and said, "Let me describe it to you. My expression at that time was like this..."
As he spoke, Chen Zhuo stood up and imitated his expression when he heard Huo Zhenlin and Liang Kede talking about this matter in Hamburg a few days ago. He looked like he was shocked and said: "Victory against South Korea 4:1? Defeat Japan 2:0."
?In the end, they won the championship? Are you talking about the Hong Kong team? When did it happen?"
Xiaomeng covered her mouth and giggled, and said: "Isn't that expression of yours very shameless?"
Shrugging his shoulders and sitting on his seat, Chen Zhuo said: "It's quite shameful, but Chairman Liang was obviously choked and a little depressed. He muttered something in Cantonese that I didn't understand. Lao Huo even winked at him at the time. Later I
Want to understand what that sentence means."
"What do you mean?" Xiaomeng asked.
Chen Zhuo pouted and said: "This is the Korean team that beat the Chinese men's football team by three goals..."
Chen Zhuo's first stop after returning from Hamburg this time was Yanjing. After the game on May 12, he stayed in Hamburg for a week. He arrived in Yanjing on the 19th and rushed to Beidaihe the next day. Xiaomeng's recuperation in Beidaihe had just ended.
, the two of them will go home together, stay with their families for about a week, and then go to Hong Kong to handle other matters at the end of May.
Xiaomeng started asking questions as soon as they met. Chen Zhuo picked a few funny things to tell Xiaomeng. Of course, Xiaomeng already knew about the variables in Heidi, and even knew more than Chen Zhuo. The two
People separated by thousands of miles and thousands of miles of land and rivers who were once supposed to be "love rivals" actually became "best friends". This is something that Chen Zhuo cannot understand.
What Chen Zhuo told Xiaomeng about the Chinese Hong Kong team's consecutive victory over the Korean team and the Japanese team to win the championship was not a YY novel but a real score. It was the 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games, which happened in December last year. At that time, Chen Zhuo even
It was not in Hamburg but in Guangzhou, but there wasn't much coverage at the time, and people later didn't remember it.
However, this really made Hong Kong fans a little excited for a while. Although the East Asian Games champion at the end of last year was not a particularly valuable championship, for Hong Kong, the "fish belly team" ranked 143rd in the international rankings
, progress is always a happy thing.

The East Asian Games is a regional comprehensive games. It was jointly initiated in 1991 by the Olympic Committees of nine countries and regions: China, Japan, South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macau, Kazakhstan and Guam. In fact,
Among the originally scheduled countries is North Korea, and in the plan, the first one will be held in Shanghai in 1993, and the second one will be held in North Korea in 1995.
In 1991, China and South Korea had not yet formally established diplomatic relations, and Hong Kong and Macau had not officially returned to China. The five Central Asian countries, which were derived from the Soviet Union, were each looking for direction and support in their diplomacy. At that time, China's GDP was very weak and it was still in the process of reform.
In the initial stage of opening up, the Asian Games was still an important event for China, promoting peace and understanding between regions through the Games.
It is said that sports have nothing to do with politics. To put it purely, that is impossible. Everything is a continuation of politics. Without historical and political backgrounds, there is no way to truly understand it.
A few days ago, I saw a review of a competitive book by Dian Niang that talked about the Chinese Go Tournament. The reviewer believed that it was inappropriate to downplay that emotion. The author believed that with the passage of time, there was no sense of immersion in that era. There are also some small friends.
Pi Qing's book reviewers pursue greatness and integrity. Haha, in fact, all history is contemporary history. Whether you have a sense of empathy and resonance with a period of history is actually a generation gap. It's that simple.
In the East Asia and world structure at that time, the national power of the Soviet Union declined sharply after the split. The United States began its strategic expansion through military intervention in Iraq. The Cold War ended with the defeat of the Soviet Union and the victory of the United States. China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, China and Central Asia, etc.
The relationships in all aspects have become subtle.
During the 1990 Asian Games, China still called South Korea "South Korea" when commentating. However, in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the name was changed to "South Korea." This is the embodiment of political and diplomatic adjustments in sports competition.
From table tennis diplomacy to basketball diplomacy, sports have always been an important means of diplomacy.
At that time, Bush Sr. once proposed the idea of "cross-establishing diplomatic relations" on the Korean Peninsula. China and the Soviet Union would establish diplomatic relations with South Korea, and the United States would establish diplomatic relations with North Korea. In this way, even if North Korea and South Korea do not establish diplomatic relations for the time being, peace will prevail through this "cross-establishment of diplomatic relations."
It further deepened the idea of the East Asian Games, and in 1991 it was determined that the second East Asian Games in 1995 would be held in Pyongyang, North Korea, which was a kind of "ice-breaking" based on this idea.
Later, in 1992, China and Russia established diplomatic relations with South Korea respectively. Bush Sr. failed to be re-elected after submitting the proposal to establish diplomatic relations to Congress. Therefore, Mingzhu was a good way to cheat, just like a prime minister from Japan jumped out and jumped madly.
A few times and then resigned, the same thing. So from that time on, North Korea was isolated. Later, it began to slowly make negative announcements through various media tools, and then demonized it.
In about 10 years, North Korea and Iraq around 1990 have become very similar in international image. News is not about revealing the truth, it is also a means of politics, just like sports.
The same is true for China. The East Asian Games has promoted exchanges and exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and promoted exchanges and exchanges between China and Central Asian countries. Hong Kong and Macau have successfully returned to China, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has also been established. East Asian countries
Many countries also know that the US military base in Guam is not their country’s territory. Guam is a readable area. Basically, the goals that should be achieved have been achieved.
After the cancellation of the second East Asian Games in Pyongyang in 1995, the East Asian Games was changed to a four-year event. Therefore, the host of the second East Asian Games in 1997 was replaced by Busan in Pyongyang. The host of the third East Asian Games in 2001 was in 1996.
It was agreed that Macau would originally host the Games, but Japan proposed preparing for the East Asian Games to boost the economy after the Hanshin Earthquake, so it was changed to Osaka, Japan, and Macau would host the Games.
The fourth and fifth editions in 2005 were hosted by Hong Kong, which all took place under the background of the 1990s.
Since entering the 21st century, after 9/11, the United States took the opportunity to enter Central Asia, an important strategic location, and then further tightened the noose on Iraq in the Middle East. To this end, the United States needed Japan and South Korea to serve as advance bases in Asia, and Japan took the opportunity in the name of logistics transportation.
The construction of the Maritime Self-Defense Force was intensified. Since then, diplomacy has gradually developed from being pro-China to being anti-China. It has gradually cooled down from the heat of the 1970s. It has been cold in politics and hot in economics, and then it has cooled down.
Since 2010, military confrontation has gradually begun to escalate. By this time, the East Asian Games has lost the need to continue.
2013 will be the last East Asian Games. Since then, the games have been renamed the "East Asian Youth Games" and continue to be maintained, just like the "Commonwealth Games" that have gone from prosperity to decline but have been maintained waiting for one day to prosper again.
Sports can sometimes be a barometer of politics.
Chen Zhuo found Xiaomeng's analysis of the East Asian Games very interesting based on the same information. The stock market is a barometer of the economy, and sports is a barometer of politics. So, what kind of barometer is football?
(three)
As for football itself, it is indeed not that complicated. According to the schedule, the East Asian Games men's football competition requires players from each participating country and region to form the U-22 level national team. It is a competition between youth teams from various countries, that is, each country is 12
An early warm-up for the 2018 Olympic qualifying tournament.
A total of six teams participated in this East Asian Games. Group A is Japan, North Korea, and Macau, China. Group B is China, South Korea, and Hong Kong, China. The top two teams in the two groups cross over to advance to the semifinals. The winner of the semifinals
Compete for the championship.
In the first game of the group, Japan in Group A defeated North Korea 2-1, as expected, while Hong Kong, China in Group B defeated Hong Kong 4-1, which was a huge upset. That game was on December 3, 2009.
Chen Zhuo thought about it carefully, but he had no impression. He had never paid attention to the East Asian Games at all.
In the group round-robin competition, Hong Kong beat South Korea 4:1, South Korea beat China 3:0, and China beat Hong Kong 1:0. In the end, the Hong Kong team ranked first in the group and entered the semifinals, while the Chinese team was eliminated.
In the semi-finals, the Hong Kong team of China drew 1-1 with the North Korean team and defeated the North Korean team on penalty kicks to advance to the final. In the other semi-final, the Japanese team defeated South Korea 2-1.
In the final, the Hong Kong team tied with the Japanese team 1:1, and finally defeated the Japanese team and won the East Asian Games championship.
I haven’t seen the lineups of all aspects yet, but from the score point of view, it fits the script of a weak player who wins the championship in an upset. Haha, if it weren’t for Lao Huo doing something fishy in order to boost the ball market and make his sports industry popular.
, which shows that the young men of this Hong Kong Olympic team still have some potential!
It seems that the old Huo family has put some effort and thought into the development of Hong Kong's sports industry and football. I heard that the third generation of Mr. Huo and Mr. Huo have both served as vice presidents of the Huo Group, respectively.
Help Lao Huo share the burden in the sports industry and real estate. It seems that the Huo family is not only involved in scandals with celebrities.
After chatting and analyzing all the way, Xiaomeng and Chen Zhuo arrived home soon.
(Four)
"Eh? Why are Xiaomeng and Xiaozhuo so dawdling? Go call them and Zhan Hongzhange. What are they dawdling about!" Uncle Jin sat with his grandparents. The dishes were all on the table. Uncle Jin asked Aunt Jin to
I went to the next door to call them. The children had been sorting out the gifts for a long time.
Logistics is so advanced that Chen Zhuo's parcels mailed back from abroad arrive earlier than the people. Grandpa and grandma are counting the days and waiting for their grandson to come back. Brother and sister Zhan Hongzhange are also very happy. Uncle Jin specially opened a bottle and saved it for more than ten years.
Maotai, let Chen Zhuo have a few drinks with him no matter what.
"Here we go!" Chen Zhuo laughed and walked in, followed by Xiaomeng and Zhan Hongzhange, holding large and small packages of gifts.
