The Hong Kong team's substitution adjustment did not attract much attention. For most fans, the Hong Kong team players are similar, and there will be no difference between substitutions.

Not only fans, but also Australian teams, as opponents, think so.

Before the game, Australian coach Arnold had some understanding of the Hong Kong team, but it was only the Hong Kong team's past achievements and did not do much research because he believed that the Hong Kong team could not threaten Australia at all. Instead, he considered Wan Sheng's coaching style. Compared with the entire Hong Kong team, Wan Sheng's reputation is too great.

Like most people, Arnold also believes that after Wan Sheng coaches the Hong Kong team, he will definitely bring his own unique style to the Hong Kong team.

So, what is Wansheng's style?

Anyone who knows Wan Sheng can think of that superb fast attack football. Whether in Derby County or Manchester City, Wan Sheng coaching will make the team play exciting and fast cooperation. This cooperation makes the opponent run hard when defending, and it is difficult to make complete restrictions, and at the same time, it can play very exciting and wonderful football.

But from the first minute of the game to now, the Hong Kong team has not shown superb cooperation and offensive ability. They have been defending and defending, which makes Arnold a little confused. Is Wan Sheng a little bit of a sudden? Is Wan Sheng trying to make the Hong Kong team win by relying on defense?

It was only after more than 80 minutes of the game that Arnold finally figured it out.

That's right, the opponent just wants to win by defending.

To put it from the perspective of others, if he coached the Hong Kong team, he would not be able to make the Hong Kong team play gorgeous offensive football at all. That would be unrealistic. The premise of a gorgeous offensive football is the overall technical strength of the team. The Hong Kong team does not have this technical strength, so it is very difficult to adapt to the tactics, let alone, it would have to adapt to the team within half a month. That is simply impossible.

Furthermore, even if the Hong Kong team adapts to offensive football, their strength is there, and they play against Australia. It is completely equivalent to "sacrificing defeat" and is very unrealistic, so for the Hong Kong team, the best choice is defense.

Only by focusing on defense and counterattacking can the Hong Kong team have the chance to get points.

After figuring this out, Arnold knew that he was too ‘conservative’. If the team played more radically, the team might have scored goals, unlike now, the game time is almost exhausted, and the score is still 0:0.

Even he had to admit that this young Chinese was very good at allowing the Hong Kong team to take a point under the Australian team he led... It's amazing!

In the stands of the fans at the Lagamangala Stadium, there were also Hong Kong Football Association Chairman Liang Huide and Deputy Director-General Liu Chuozi. The two were wearing formal attire and sat in the back seats on the rostrum.

This Asian Cup is very important to Hong Kong Football Association.

The Hong Kong team in China has not entered the Asian Cup finals for many years. This is also the first time that the Hong Kong team in China has reached the Asian Cup finals since Liang Huide served as the Hong Kong Football Association. He believes that this will be a steal for the development of Hong Kong football, so Yili wants to invite famous coaches to host the Hong Kong team, with the purpose of making the Hong Kong team shine in the Asian Cup.

Wansheng was invited by Liang Zhude.

He found many people, entrusted many relationships, and also mobilized the directors and investors of the General Assembly, and even found the Hong Kong Special Shou Zeng Yinquan to speak. This was why Wan Sheng coached. With this effort, the Hong Kong team's performance was naturally crucial.

If the Hong Kong team cannot play well, his efforts will be meaningless.

More than 80 minutes of the game have passed. Liang Huide is quite at ease. Unlike the local Thai fans next to him, fans watched the exciting game, and this game is hard to call it exciting, so most fans are dissatisfied with the performance of the Hong Kong team, but Liang Huide is very satisfied. Because the Hong Kong team is not behind, he focuses on the results, not the process.

"Mr. Liang, are we doing well now?" Liu Chuozi, the deputy director-general next to him, asked, her frowning eyebrows, obviously feeling a little dissatisfied with the game.

"What's wrong?"

"The Hong Kong team seems to be very passive." Liu Chuozi said, "Look, we don't have much support."

Liang Huide smiled and said, "The result is the most important thing. As long as we can get this point, it is equivalent to success. Before you watch the game, almost no one is optimistic about the Hong Kong team. But we tied, got a point, but didn't pull behind other teams. Australia is the strongest in the group!"

Liu Chuozi thought about it and nodded.

In the Hong Kong Football Association, she is responsible for managing the Hong Kong women's football team and does not know much about the men's football matches. She has always felt that football has been played better so that it can attract more fans' attention.

Obviously, the game on the court was different from her.

But she didn't say much, because the Hong Kong team was not behind, but she felt that it was not easy to keep a point when playing so passively.

She is a little unfavorable to the prospects of the Hong Kong team in the Asian Cup.

The time has reached the 87th minute of the game. Even with stoppage time, there are less than five minutes left in the game.

The number displayed on the stadium scoreboard is still 0:0.

After Liu Quankun appeared, the Hong Kong team's offense improved a bit, but it was still difficult to pose a threat to the Australian goal. The Hong Kong team's focus has not changed and it is still mainly focused on defense.

As the game is about to end, the players are running much more active. They all want to get points in the first Asian Cup, which also makes Australian players even more trouble. They have many stars, and their team is much stronger, but they still have no goals.

Australian players want to score a goal, but after a game, each of them must admit that the Hong Kong team has done a very good defensive work. Even if they try hard to adjust and attack seriously in the second half, it will be difficult to find many good opportunities.

They had several chances throughout the game, but unfortunately the forward players failed to catch it, but they still failed to score a goal.

Many players think the game will end here.

0:0.

For the Australian team, this is a very difficult score to accept, because the opponent is the weakest Hong Kong team in the group; for the Hong Kong team, it is also good to get this point and it is completely acceptable.

Some players don't think so, such as Hong Kong team's forward Zhuo Zhuo.

Before the Asian Cup, Zhuo Zhuo was looking forward to the event. This was the first time he participated in such a competition. At the end of his career, he also wanted to show his strength on the world stage, but after a game, he almost did nothing.

There is not much time left, and Zhuo Zhuo has been running in the frontcourt.

At this time, some media also began to talk about Zhuo Zhuo, because Zhuo Zhuo had no contribution in the whole game and had no performance on the offensive end. The number of defensive participation was very limited. Many Hong Kong media said, "It should be replaced by Zhuo Zhuo and then a defender, so the Hong Kong team's defense will be worry-free, and this point can be basically guaranteed."

But Zhuo Zhuo was still running.

The game time entered stoppage time, and the Australian team attacked even more violently. They no longer knew how many similar attacks they had made, but whenever the football was passed to the penalty area, they were intercepted by Hong Kong players. After a game, Australian players also gained experience. They knew that it was difficult to have a chance in the middle, so the wingers directly hung the ball into the penalty area and let the forward players go over to grab the points.

This kind of British long pass is very dependent on luck if you want to score a goal, but with one chance, it is enough to decide the outcome of the game.

Unfortunately, the Australian player seemed too impatient. As soon as the pass kicked, the Hong Kong defender was blocked by the body.

The football flew high and fell down again.

Central defender Pan Yaozhuo forced Cahill to forcefully push the ball up twice in a row, and finally the football was pushed to Li Weiwen's feet.

Li Weiwen is a team fullback and has very limited offensive ability.

When the Australian players saw the football at the foot of the Hong Kong team, they didn't take it seriously. Several of them didn't want to run back at all in the frontcourt, so they forced them to fight back, but Li Weiwen calmly sent the ball to Pan Yaozhuo's feet.

As a veteran over 30 years old, Pan Yaozhuo has a lot of experience, even if he doesn't have much experience in the competition. But facing the pressing of star Viduka, Pan Yaozhuo was not nervous at all. He calmly found the gap and gave the ball to Liu Quankun.

Liu Quankun got the ball.

This is his fifth time getting the ball after he came on as a substitute.

The previous few chances of getting the ball were not good, and Liu Quankun did not perform as expected by Wan Sheng. Another time, the football was stolen by Australian players because of nervousness.

Liu Quankun was very upset about this!

Liu Quankun was really nervous when he participated in the competition for the first time, but he also knew what he should do on the court.

He recalled the coach's instructions before he appeared, "...If you have a ball, pass it forward with big feet, pay attention to Zhuo Zhuo or other people's positions. I hope you can use long passes to find opportunities for the team..."

Opportunity, opportunity!?Now is a good opportunity!

After Liu Quankun got it, there was no one on both sides, and an opponent's player rushed over. At the same time, he saw that the Australian players did not seem to want to retract the formation. Even if the football team was not smart, he knew that now was a good opportunity to fight back.

The only thing is that this ball must be passed well!

Liu Quankun glanced forward and saw a teammate, Zhuo Zhuo, who was running forward desperately.

Immediately, he swung his right leg and kicked it hard on the side of the ball. The football soared into the sky and flew forward quickly.

"A Hong Kong midfielder, he passes the ball forward..."

Japanese commentator Onodera Gonori said boringly, and it can be heard from his tone that he was completely disliked by the Hong Kong team's counterattack.

But immediately, Onode Gonori's tone changed, and he said in surprise, "Zhuo Zhuo, Hong Kong striker Zhuo Zhuo, he received the pass...!!?"

“!!!??”

"Zhuo Zhuo received the ball! He is quickly moving forward!"

Even Onoji Gonomiya realized the problem. It was just imagined how popular the scene was. There were huge shouts of shouts in the Ragamangala Stadium because every fan realized that this was a good opportunity for the Hong Kong team - Zhuo Zhuo successfully counterattacked and successfully received the pass from behind.

"Zhuo Zhuo has been running forward!!!"

Keep running!

Following Zhuo Zhuo is Australian star Bresciano, a very famous star.

Since the age of 19, Bresciano has been playing in the Italian arena and has played for Empoli, Parma and Palermo. In July 2002, after Bresciano signed with the Serie A team Parma, he became the most valuable Australian player at the time with a transfer fee of A$13 million (US$13 million), surpassing the previous record holder Mark Viduca.

Bresciano can be said to be one of Australia's "stars"!

But now, this Australian "star" is desperately chasing a black forward who is not well-known in the Hong Kong team. The black forward is carrying the ball, but Bresciano runs five goals, but the result is different from what he imagined - as a world-class star, Bresciano was left far behind by the "unknown" black forward!

“Hula…”

Looking at Bresciano and the black forward seemed to be getting farther and farther away, the fans on the scene felt incredible.

"What's going on? Is this..."

"He ran too fast!"

"Who is that guy? Why is that fast!"

"Bresciano can't catch up at all! Could it be that his physical fitness cannot keep up? It must be..."

"He's still carrying the ball!"

“…”

Wan Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, also clenched his fists nervously.

It was no surprise that Zhuo Zhuo could pull down Bresciano by dribbling the ball. Zhuo Zhuo was originally a very fast player. With the bonus of the "fast forward" skill on the speed during counterattack, it was normal for him to pull down Bresciano who had no advantage in speed.

This is the best opportunity the team has ever had since the opening!

"Must enter!"

Wan Sheng clenched his teeth.
