The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 369 Schadenfreude (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

If Wu Feng is the mastermind behind the scenes, they would never deliberately target him like this at this time.

Hong Kong Island team had a great chance of making it to the finals of the 1990 World Cup in Italy, and at that time, Hong Kong Island team was the focus of everyone's attention.

As the core player of the Hong Kong Island team, Wu Feng was undoubtedly a superstar on the football field at this time, and his fame had reached a certain peak.

The football atmosphere on Hong Kong Island at that time was naturally incomparable to that of the commercial football era that followed.

Neither the influence of football nor the number of fans can compare to later generations, but it was pure.

At that time, Europe, the center of world football, had not yet implemented a formal transfer system, let alone Hong Kong.

At this time, fans paid more attention to and were more enthusiastic about participating in international football events like the World Cup.

There's no other reason than the pride and honor of being able to represent a region or country in a competition, which can absolutely drive fans crazy.

With the Hong Kong team having a chance to qualify for the World Cup finals, all the fans and football-related organizations are getting excited.

The final home game, in particular, is the focus of everyone's attention.

Not to mention Hong Kong Island, the sports system and fans in mainland China also pay close attention to it.

As the team's core player, Wu Feng is truly deserving of the title of "superstar," and his talent shines brightly.

At this time, newspapers and magazines, with their sarcastic and unfriendly comments about the stock market, naturally aroused the displeasure of many fans and people involved in football.

Not to mention, anyone with eyes can see what's going on, and the dissatisfaction will only intensify: Is this how you guys cause trouble?
It is said that Huo Daheng was quite dissatisfied with this and went directly to the person in charge behind the scenes to give them a good scolding, telling them to shut up at such a critical moment.

As for whether it's true or not, Wu Feng isn't entirely sure.

However, there has been much less deliberate targeting and malicious manipulation in public opinion.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
Although Wu Feng was confident and not afraid of being smeared, he thought that if he could avoid some trouble, who would complain about being too idle?
Throughout the entire process, Huo Daheng never mentioned this matter.

Wu Feng naturally wouldn't bring it up, and his way of repaying was very simple: he would help the Hong Kong Island football team win the game easily.

When the final whistle blew, the entire Mong Kok Stadium had turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The stands were packed with fans waving various flags and banners, shouting and cheering amidst the deafening drumbeats.

Meanwhile, cheers erupted outside the stadium.

TVB and ATV immediately broadcast the joyous scene inside and outside the Mong Kok Stadium.

With a cheerful tone, the host solemnly announced: The Hong Kong Island Men's Football Team has qualified for the 1990 FIFA World Cup Finals in Italy!
Then major newspapers launched supplements to celebrate the Hong Kong Island men's football team's successful advancement to the World Cup finals.

The two television stations acted the fastest, and within an hour they had invited so-called football experts to start a commentary program on the Hong Kong team's participation in the World Cup.

The news spread, and the entire Hong Kong Island seemed to be in an uproar.

In the streets and alleys, and even in office buildings in Central, almost all the talk is about the Hong Kong Island team; other news has to take a backseat.

The entire Hong Kong Island men's football team was treated like heroes at this moment.

The congratulatory telegrams from relevant organizations in Taiwan were immediately forwarded to the Hong Kong Island Football Association. Following closely were congratulatory telegrams from mainland China and overseas Chinese groups, creating a truly celebratory atmosphere.

After that, the whole team was like they were on an overseas tour, first receiving a banquet from the bigwigs of the Football Association, and Huo Daheng was especially enthusiastic, beaming with joy.

This was arguably the most glorious moment of his tenure as president of the Hong Kong Island Football Association, and he insisted on having a few more drinks despite his advanced age.

Next, he was invited to a banquet by the Governor of Hong Kong, followed by entertaining by powerful groups. He was constantly being entertained.

Even the smallest piece of news about the football team, whether true or not, can attract the attention and discussion of people all over Hong Kong Island.

What defines a top-tier team? At this moment, the Hong Kong Island football team is the biggest top-tier team.

At this point, no big star could compete with the football team players in terms of fame and exposure, let alone in terms of online traffic.

Under these circumstances, the previous attempts to smear Wu Feng seem exceptionally foolish.

Many newspaper articles were picked out by competitors, who launched a barrage of sarcastic remarks at them, leaving them no choice but to remain silent and unable to retaliate.

After being featured on football commentary television programs and reported in related newspapers, even a fool would know that if the Hong Kong Island football team wants to perform well in the World Cup finals, the performance of its core player, Wu Feng, is crucial.

This is a major event concerning the reputation of the entire Hong Kong Island; even the Governor of Hong Kong wouldn't dare to offend Wu Feng at this time.

It can be said that from now until the end of the Hong Kong team's World Cup matches, Wu Feng will be surrounded by a halo of glory.

Unless he really has something to hide, any targeted reports will only invite a massive backlash.

At this time, most people on Hong Kong Island were focused on the upcoming Italian World Cup, and although there were still reports about the stock market crash, it didn't attract much attention from ordinary people.

Everyone is focused on the Hong Kong Island team's form and the upcoming group draw. Football professionals and laymen alike are all doing their best to analyze the various group possibilities and their impact on the Hong Kong Island football team's performance.

This is the biggest topic of discussion in Hong Kong recently.

Even a small touch can significantly boost TV program ratings and cause newspaper and magazine sales to skyrocket.

Whether it's a tea restaurant, a tea house or a bar, or an office building in Central, people are basically talking about the World Cup and the Hong Kong team.

As for other news and information, only specific groups pay attention to them, and they don't cause much of a stir in the public opinion field of Hong Kong at this time.

"Boss, should we continue with our counterattack as planned?"

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Li Xin, who was in charge of the execution, was dumbfounded. He immediately went to Wu Feng to inquire.

"Stop it, let's wait until the World Cup fever subsides!"

Wu Feng was speechless, and chuckled, "Remember, we must not be the first to make a move, and there's no need for us to rush!"

"Some people are trying to smear me, but the current public opinion environment doesn't allow them to cause trouble. They should be the ones who are worried!"

"That's the truth!"

Li Xin's brows relaxed, his face full of undisguised schadenfreude.
