Chapter 25 Hong Kong's Future Happy Lantern Festival
(one)
Grouped into two groups, one person stands with his legs spread apart and his hands on the wall, bending over, while the other person rides on his back. The posture is quite weird. The weight-bearing person lifts his left and right feet alternately as a way to train ankle joint strength.
"Feel the stress point on your ankle joint! Guys, ankle strength and flexibility training is an important basic training for practicing dribbling! You have seen South American players using pendulum style dribbling movements and bicycle style dribbling movements.
, the secret is that they have a good grasp of the strength and flexibility of their ankles! What I can do now is not how much you can improve, but let you fully understand and feel what you can do!" Baggio directed and corrected the players.
Their incorrect actions.
Baggio is right. This kind of practice can no longer make players improve their basic skills, but it can let players know through intuitive feelings which actions they are capable of doing and which actions they can do by themselves.
Taking risks can easily result in injury!

"Don't leave the bat off the ground! Don't leave your hands off the bat! Yes, yes, yes! Okay, that's it, make full use of your upper limbs to interfere with him and make him lose his balance, yes, that's it! Come again!" Baggio said
The players shuttled between each other.
On the second day of training, the content of ball-grabbing training was added. Two players grabbed the baseball bat at the same time. The bat did not leave the ground and their hands did not leave the bat. Under this condition, one person protected the baseball bat.
One person grabs the ball.
This is a two-way connection. The team B with the ball trains ball protection skills, and the team without the ball naturally trains ball grabbing skills. In many cases, stealing skills require the use of physical advantages and knowing how to pressure the opponent. This kind of training is for
This aspect is also very beneficial.
Moreover, this kind of training can also allow players to make smaller movements of their feet, so as not to cause injuries. This is also a very necessary training.
Under Baggio's personal demonstration, the players were training very seriously. Chen Zhuo and Gasson were in a group. They could do this kind of training often when they return to Italy.

Baggio also gave up using the football during the entire offensive routine of passing the ball to coordinate with the movement.
He arranged for his staff to mark many arrows of different colors on the lawn, which pointed out the running routes for the players.
The players run according to the instructions of the arrows. There are many obstacles on the line. The players need to keep going around the obstacles while running, and pass the baseball in their hands before encountering the obstacles.
, is the baseball in hand.
The reason why baseball is used instead of football is because these Hong Kong players have not been trained to touch the ball since they were young. During practice, if football is used as a training method, it is easy for the ball to stick to the ball and the passing speed is not good enough.
Qualification issues lead to confusion in movement.
Using a baseball as a throwing and catching tool is simple and there will be no problem of sticking the ball. It can effectively enable them to practice tacit cooperation, timing of movement, better reaction speed and passing vision.

Not only are there these exercises, but there are also rugby-style tackles and escapes, which are also used to practice fake moves and variable speed slides when passing people.
The connection to shooting is to tie the ankle with a rope and feel the resistance when the calf swings. Through this slow motion, Baggio explains their hitting position, footwork and strength, Chen Zhuo's ultra-long-distance shooting and passing
The ball was also carefully observed and dissected.
After three days of bizarre training, a match was finally organized. The players were surprised to find that they had new insights and understandings of tactics, offensive and defensive movements, including passing moves and shooting movements.
Including Chen Zhuo, even he himself felt this way. When he found the gap and passed the ball, the prediction ability of his own players and the opponent's players was improved to a higher level than three days ago!

"Patton, I have a task for you! This should also be good news for you!" At the end of the training camp, Baggio said: "In order to adapt to you, a big star, I have convinced the Hong Kong Football Association that I plan to
In March, I took the team to Italy for a two-week training camp.
For training, you are responsible for contacting the Milan youth team and the Genoa youth team to conduct two confrontation games to test the training results, so that you do not have to fly back for the next two training camps. Then I will contact the first team of Vicenza or Brescia.
, see if it’s possible to play one or two warm-up matches..."
Chen Zhuo nodded readily and agreed. I believe the players will be quite satisfied with this arrangement. It is even possible for many players to receive the attention of European scouts through this European training camp!
In just three days of training, Chen Zhuo was very interested in Baggio's unique training methods and concepts, and he was also full of confidence in the goals proposed by Baggio.
On the plane back, Gasson discussed Baggio's various training methods and concepts with Chen Zhuo with undiminished interest. Gasson's Hong Kong permanent residency procedures and player declaration procedures to the AFC are still being processed.
There have been "naturalized" players in Hong Kong's history. The black forward Lawrence around 2003 is an example. However, there has never been a "naturalized" player like Garson who has played in the top leagues of Serie A and Bundesliga.
Due to Gasson's "naturalization", Hong Kong has also triggered a debate. There are currently many Chinese players in European competitions. If they are "naturalized" and join the Hong Kong team, will it be good or bad for Hong Kong football?
There are many different opinions. In fact, this issue has been debated in Germany for a long time, and the debate has not stopped until now.
(six)
There are currently no less than 10 Chinese players on the "naturalized" list of the Hong Kong Football Association, and there is one in Hamburg's reserve team this season!
Lin Zhijian, who was born in 1991, plays the role of midfielder. He is 175cm tall and weighs 67 kilograms. Lin Zhijian's father is from Hong Kong, China, and his mother is German. Lin has now become a German national, and his German name is Andreas.
This season, Lin Zhijian was transferred to Hamburg's second team to participate in the regional league. Cardoso is very optimistic about Lin Zhijian. Currently, Hamburg team has plans to mention him to the first team to participate in the cup competition.
Xie Jiaqiang, who was born in Salford in northwest England in 1992, has an Irish passport and nationality. He is half Chinese. He plays as a central defender. He has previously been selected for the Irish U-17 national team. Xie Jiaqiang had a trial training with Manchester United.
He is currently a member of Manchester City's reserve team and has not yet participated in a first-team game on behalf of Manchester City.
Bobby Wood was born in Hawaii in the United States on November 15, 1992, but he was born with a Chinese face. He is 180cm tall and weighs 76 kilograms.
Since 2007, he has played for the German second division team Munich 1860. Wood, who is currently underage, has played 5 times for Munich 1860. There were rumors that Magath was interested in introducing this Chinese youngster this season, but in the end it was just a rumor. In the new season,
Bobby Wood still represents Munich 1860 in the Bundesliga 2.
In addition, there are also Canadian U students who were born in 1983 and were selected
Chen Hengchen of the National Youth Team, Chen Changyuan, who was also selected for the Belgian U17 National Youth Team, was also born in 1983, and Rong Aping, who was born in 1986 and represented the Netherlands Olympic Team in the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, was born in 1984.
David Chen, who was once selected for the U.S. U-17 National Youth Team, and was born
Lu Zhihao, who played for the Canadian National Youth Team in 1986, none of these players has represented the adult teams of other countries. According to FIFA regulations, if they choose permanent residence in Hong Kong, China without giving up their current nationality, they will
He is qualified to represent the Hong Kong team in China in international competitions.
The most famous among Chinese players is Brian Cheng, the American international who participated in the 2006 World Cup. His Chinese name is Cheng Bayern. However, since he has represented the senior team, he is not eligible to join the Hong Kong team.

Regarding the issue of "naturalization", Huo Zhenlin had this idea in mind when choosing Chen Zhuo as the entry point. Although Chen Zhuo is the oldest among these Chinese players, Cheng Bairen, including Cheng Bairen, can single-handedly
Among all the Chinese players, Chen Zhuo was the only one who brought about a "qualitative change" in the team.
In Huo Zhenlin's consideration, Chen Zhuo was used as the starting point to introduce a head coach with a big enough reputation. This plan has been realized. The joining of Roberto Baggio has made the Hong Kong team famous, and the Hong Kong football market has also grown accordingly.
The changes have become more popular, and mainland China has also expressed its intention to run the 2011 Provincial-Hong Kong Cup seriously and restore the "brilliance" of this traditional event.
Only through the appeal of Chen Zhuo and Baggio can it be possible to attract players who have played in European leagues and overseas youth Olympic games. Otherwise, third-rate Asian teams like Hong Kong would not have any influence on those players.
Attractive!
As for the "competition" from mainland China, Huo Zhenlin said there is no pressure because mainland China refuses to recognize dual nationality, and those players who give up their current nationality to play for the Chinese national team need to do it for their future work and life.
To make choices and considerations from all aspects, this alone is an insurmountable obstacle. Just imagine how Chen Zhuo could have become a member of AC Milan so smoothly without Hong Kong permanent residency and German citizenship!
Take your time! As long as we get a good start at the Asian Games in November and next year's Asian Cup, I believe that many Chinese players will choose to "naturalize". Once this policy is completely liberalized, it will be supplemented by the introduction of advanced youth players.
With the training system and excellent coaches, the Hong Kong team will become a first-class team in Asia and the Pearl of the Orient of Asian football within 10 years. This is not a foolish dream!

After the news spread that Baggio led the Hong Kong team for the first training camp, it indeed caused a lot of fluctuations. At the same time, the "lobbying team" sent by Mr. Huo Zhenlin also launched a new round of contact with those Chinese players.
.
Lin Zhijian, who received a call from Chen Zhuo, said that he has been seriously considering it. For Lin Zhijian, who has been selected for the German U19 National Youth Team, he does not have the problem of "naturalization" because he has dual nationality. Now he has a choice.
The question is whether to join the Hong Kong team in his father's region or the national team in his mother's country. Frankly speaking, Lin Zhijian prefers to join the German team.
But no matter what, they have all started to think about it. They have all started to think about the Hong Kong team of China, which they have never thought about before, such a third-rate team in Asia and not a top-notch team in the world.
