Garson, who scored the key goal in the semi-finals, was very excited. He rushed to the corner kick and kicked the corner flag away. He turned around and ran toward the court with a King Kong-like pose to greet him and ran after him.
Teammates’ celebration…
Hong Myung-bo looked at the field dejectedly. The Korean team players had various expressions. Goalkeeper Kim Seung-kyu knelt on the ground, complaining loudly about why Garson was allowed to run into the goal and shoot without anyone marking him two meters away.
Defender Yin Xirong is also very depressed. He directed the entire formation to move to the left. The Hong Kong team's right midfielder Ouyang Yaochong can lead and break out. He has scored many goals and assists in the previous few games. Of course, he will be the focus.
Be on guard!
Right back Shen Guangxun was also very depressed. Under the command of Yin Xirong, the marking center back Jin Yingquan went to the left to help defend. Chen Zhaoqi in the middle was naturally left to him. As for the foreigner wearing a Hong Kong jersey, Cao Yongzhe followed behind without chasing.
If you fall in love with him, the responsibility should not lie with you.
There is no question of responsibility or irresponsibility. The Hong Kong team made a back pass and a diagonal pass from the right wing, and then inserted a running left foot volley from the left wing. This is just a textbook coordination!
The biggest responsibility...should be the head coach Hong Myung-bo. After all, Koo Ci-cheol competed against Kim Jung-woo. This young midfielder's overall view and vision still need to be improved. When Hong Myung-bo arranged for three midfielders to press high, he would have risked being beaten by the opponent.
Playing a quick counterattack risks.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, the Hong Kong team took the lead to score, but for the South Korean team, they still had time and opportunities.

After the goal, Baggio immediately made a substitution, replacing forward Chen Zhaoqi, and replaced him with Yan Lefeng, who had never played before. This is a player of the Royal South District Club of Hong Kong. He was born in 1993 and is only 17 years old.
He is the youngest player on the Hong Kong Asian Games team.
Yan Lefeng also has two Hong Kong team records. He is only 1.67 meters tall and weighs 60 kilograms. He is the shortest and lightest player in the Hong Kong team.
Regarding this player, Hong Myung-bo and the players of the Korean team are even less aware of it. They don't know what Baggio's intentions are.
I don’t know what Baggio is going to do, but Hong Myung-bo and the Korean team know what they are going to do. There are still many minutes left and they are one goal behind. They must seize the time to equalize or overtake, so they have to strengthen their offense.
With Yan Lefeng deployed, Baggio is already preparing for the next game. This is a bit crazy to say, but Baggio is full of confidence in Hong Kong's current defensive system to hold on for 10 minutes without conceding a goal!
Yan Lefeng's position is the left midfielder, a substitute for Guo Jianbang. Including the previous warm-up match, Yan Lefeng has not played even one minute. It is purely a just-in-case reserve. Now Baggio has decided to use Yan Lefeng, that is, for
Prepare for the finals.
After Yan Lefeng came on the field, Gasson, who scored the goal, was withdrawn to the marking center back position, Zhai Tingfeng moved to the left back position, Xu Deshuai moved to the right back position, Yan Lefeng and Ouyang Yaochong served as the left and right midfielders, and Lin Zhijian and Chen Zhuo served as the defensive midfielders.
The Hong Kong team adjusted to a 5-4-0 formation and recovered across the board!
This formation, when closed, is 5-4-0, and when attacking, it is an exaggerated 2-4-3. Gasson advances directly to the opponent's center in the middle, Yan Lefeng and Ouyang Yao set up the base, and Zhai Tingfeng and Xu Deshuai advance to the bottom.
For the wide midfielder position, the defense in the middle is provided by double midfielders and double central defenders.
In this formation, Chen Zhuo is dedicated to defense and long passes from the backcourt, while the offensive work is left to the two wings and Gason in the middle.

Yan Lefeng dribbled the ball past Gu Cizhe and then went down. Facing Shen Guangxun's continuous cycling action, he did not move away. He pulled the button behind again and passed the chasing Goo Cizhe for the second time. Then Yan Lefeng changed to cut inside.
, facing Cao Yongzhe who was returning to defense, he pulled the ball and turned around, then cut in and then out with his left foot, passing Gu Cizhe for the third time...
"Du~~~" Amidst the thunderous cheers of the fans in the stands, the referee blew the whistle. Gu Cizhe, who did not look at the humiliation, finally kicked down the little man who was dangling like a loach in front of him and was whistled.
A foul and a yellow card...
Hong Mingfu felt that he was about to collapse, because this was not Gu Cizhe's first yellow card. Sure enough, the referee reviewed the yellow card when recording it, took out the red card and expelled Gu Cizhe.
It was the 8th minute after Yan Lefeng came on the field. This was already the second time that Goo Cizhe had broken through like this back and forth. The previous time, his cross was headed over by Garson due to interference.
With a red card and a cutting-edge free kick, the South Korean team was basically sentenced to death. The singing in the stands started again. This time, after "", the original "we-are-" was added.
the-champion”, we are Hong Kong, we are the champion!
Although not yet, but now we are very close to the championship!
The live broadcast footage showed Chen Zhuo preparing to take a free kick, Yan Lefeng who was eye-catching, and Baggio on the sidelines with his assistant coach and team members putting their hands on each other's shoulders as they prepared to celebrate the goal. It also showed them in the stands.
to ecstatic fans…
Every time when the Hong Kong team encounters difficulties, Baggio can always make the fans shine like magic. In addition to Chen Zhuo and several European players who have not let them down, Hong Kong local player Chen Wenhui also twice
Becoming a "super substitute", this game once made fans on tenterhooks
, especially after Guo Jianbang was sent off for a foul, many fans thought the situation was over, but at this moment, first "national aid" Xu Deshuai made a wonderful pass to assist Garson to score, and then 17-year-old local player Yan Lefeng performed continuously.
Showing off his superb footwork and dribbling skills.
Even the mainland viewers watching the live broadcast were hooked. They originally thought that the Hong Kong team led by Baggio relied on these "European aids" and foreign guns to win, or else they were counting on Chen Zhuo's long shots and free kicks, but they didn't.
Thinking of being able to discover "highlights" one after another, they also sighed. The Hong Kong team that defeated South Korea and Japan in the East Asian Games last year really has a "successor"!

In the 80th minute of the game, when Chen Zhuo used his good curve ball to score the goal in the far corner, the whole of Hong Kong was filled with cheers. Baggio on the bench also hugged the assistant coach and players.
Together, they have begun celebrating their victory in advance!
In the last ten minutes, the Korean team was still fighting for it, and Hong Myung-bo was still changing personnel and giving face-to-face instructions. They showed their tenacious spirit.
During the 3 minutes of stoppage time, almost all the players of the Korean team were in tears while playing football. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, they all collapsed on the ground and were sent off early on the bench.
Jin Zhengyou even covered his face and burst into tears.
They won all three games in the group stage to advance, defeated Kuwait 9:1 in the knockout round, defeated North Korea in a penalty shootout, and defeated South Korea 2:0. Although it is only an Asian Games event, the Hong Kong team has given fans too many surprises.

The final two days later was far less exciting than the semi-final. After a dull 90-minute contest between Hong Kong, China and Japan, when the countdown entered the 4-minute stoppage time, everyone was ready to enter overtime.
The referee had already raised his hand to look at his watch and was about to blow the whistle to end the game. At this time, Chen Zhuo suddenly fired in the center circle and hoisted the ball into the Japanese team's goal.
This is like a super long three-pointer near the end of a basketball game. Chen Zhuo also used such an absolute "killer" to help the Hong Kong team win the Asian Games championship trophy.
Although they defeated the Japanese team, this Asian Games also reflected many problems, especially the Japanese team. They have shown their comprehensive strength and football reserves, which are more than one level higher than other Asian teams!
This Japanese Asian Games team came to Guangzhou for the first time four days before the game. This team has never practiced together before!
And since the Asian Games is not an event that FIFA stipulates that clubs must cooperate with, this Japanese Asian Games team adheres to the principle of selecting substitutes for the 12 National Olympic teams and has selected 16 players of the right age who are mainly substitutes from the J1 League and J2 League.
The players, as well as four college students, entered the game after four days of short training. As we all know, they defeated the Chinese Olympic team in the first game.
In the next games, they defeated Malaysia 2-0 and Kyrgyzstan 3-0. They entered the knockout round with three wins in three games and no goal conceded. In the 16-to-8 game, they swept India 5-0.
, defeated Thailand 1-0 in the eight-to-four match, defeated Iran 2-1 in the semi-finals, and only conceded 1 goal in 6 games before entering the final.
Compared with the Japanese team, the Hong Kong team not only recruited five major European players, but also hired Baggio as its coach with a large sum of money. Even the Hong Kong League made way for preparations for the Asian Games, allowing Baggio to lead the team for a month in Europe.
Compared with Japan's "random actions", training with such huge intensity can be said to be quite different in terms of human, material and financial resources!
For Japan, their current free will is due to the foundation they have laid over the past 30 years. The popularity of Japanese football is now similar to the popularity of table tennis and badminton in China. The long-term accumulation has also allowed them to finally have success.
As a result, Japan won both the men's and women's football championships at this year's Guangzhou Asian Games.
Hong Kong's football championship this time was, in the words of the media, the product of "doping" injections. One of the large photos showed the needle hole in Chen Zhuo's wrist, implying that Chen Zhuo had injected doping. This was of course Li Xiaozui's
"Masterpiece", and the mainland sports media also reproduced it in large numbers. I don't know the reason and purpose of their collective attacks on Chen Zhuo.
Is it really out of "truth" and "justice"? I don't know. However, on this issue, in addition to the mainland media, Hong Kong media, German media, Italian media, including La Repubblica, have all criticized the reports of mainland Chinese media.
criticized and produced three drug test reports, showing that there were no banned substances in Chen Zhuo's body.
These are all tidbits later. When the report came out, Chen Zhuo and Saoirse were with their grandparents. They did not defend or respond to the matter, and just laughed it off. (To be continued.)
