The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 380 Shocking Explosion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The scorching heat of June is a joyous time for football fans all over the world.

As a World Cup newcomer, Hong Kong Island's performance has exceeded everyone's expectations.

While most participating teams opted for a defensive-oriented approach, Hong Kong Island FC remained steadfast in its offensive strategy.

No matter what opponent you encounter, you always fight them head-on.

In their first match, they faced off against West Germany, a strong favorite to win the championship.

According to the Hong Kong Island team's coaching staff, they could have chosen to give up when facing West Germany, since they simply couldn't win.

Unexpectedly, they encountered this opponent in their very first match, so they couldn't easily back down, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the team's morale.

Then, in the first round of the World Cup group stage, a fierce attacking battle erupted that left all fans stunned.

Originally, both fans and professionals unanimously believed that West Germany would win the match between Hong Kong Island and West Germany.

There's no way to compare their reputations or past records.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The final score was four to five!
Indeed, Hong Kong Island scored four goals in this match, with Wu Feng scoring three of them, completing a hat-trick.

One of Hong Kong Island's speedy strikers also seized the opportunity to score a goal.

Unfortunately, West Germany's attack was stronger, and Klinsmann actually completed a hat-trick of headers.

It can only be said that the height of Asian players at that time was still quite different from what it would be later; there was nothing that could be done about it.

Even so, it still gave the West German team a real scare, and all the fans who were following the World Cup were taken aback.

The skill level displayed by the Hong Kong Island team players can only be described as quite average.

He can't compare to top European stars, and he can't even compare to ordinary players in the top five leagues; he's definitely the rough and tough type.

But as I said before, the gap between professional players in 1990 was not as large as it is in later generations.

It doesn't matter if the technique is a bit rough; as long as other aspects can make up for it, it can still exert good combat power.

Throughout the match, Hong Kong Island team was constantly under pressure, but thanks to their tireless running and fighting spirit, they still managed to create many opportunities. Otherwise, how could they have scored four goals in one go?

Wu Feng's powerful shots are sharp, but they only work when he has the ball at his feet.

Not only that, he can't have too many opposing players around him, otherwise his accuracy will suffer.

Although the Bagua step is slippery, there are too many times on the court when direct physical contact is necessary. You can't always rely on slippery tricks, can you?
Of course, this was the first time the West German team had encountered a team as fast-paced as the Hong Kong Island team.

The Hong Kong Island team started running, and the West Germany players naturally had to follow suit.

As a result, the average running distance per player in a single match exceeded 10,000 meters, almost causing the West German players to break down.

After the game, they were all so exhausted that they collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

As for the sweat, his entire body and jersey were covered with a visible layer of salt frost, which was quite exaggerated.

Little did they know that the Hong Kong team's running tactics were the mainstream tactics in world football since 2005.

Previously, the running distance of the players on the field was not given much attention.

In later generations, however, if a team in the top five European leagues didn't have an average running distance of over 10,000 meters, that would be considered a poor performance, indicating a lack of effort and seriousness in the game.

Otherwise, Berbatov, the "cool guy" of later generations, wouldn't have been so criticized. This battle shocked the entire World Cup!

At the same time, it attracted the attention of all fans who follow the World Cup.

They remembered the name of the Hong Kong Island team and were very curious about the team's performance in the next two games.

Wu Feng naturally became famous overnight!
To score three goals against West Germany in a single match, mostly from long-range shots, is a feat that would surely shock fans.

If he continues to perform well in a few more matches, he might just earn the title of "King of Heavy Shots".

Hong Kong Island team, though defeated, still deserves respect!
The fact that they were able to push the previous World Cup runners-up to the point of giving it their all shows that the Hong Kong team's performance was definitely not bad.

Not to mention, they even took the initiative to attack the West German team. That courage alone is remarkable, and at least the fans like it.

If it were any other team participating in the World Cup, even the defending champions Argentina, with Maradona in the squad, they might not have dared to go toe-to-toe with West Germany.

Watching the other group stage matches, they were mostly defensive in nature and looked rather uninteresting.

In conclusion, the Hong Kong Island team is highly praised.

The Hong Kong Island Football Association executives who followed were all beaming with joy, showing no sign of disappointment at their team's loss.

"Wu Sheng, the rest of the matches will depend on you and the players!"

Including the coaching staff, they all knew who the core of the team was, and they all showed no respect for Wu Feng.

That's why the Hong Kong Island team's group is called the group of death.
Three days later, their opponent was Yugoslavia, a top European team.

In this match, Hong Kong Island team continued to employ an offensive tactic.

They wanted to defend, but their defensive capabilities were simply too weak to withstand the onslaught of a team like Yugoslavia.

It was another spectacular attacking battle and a fierce goal-fest!

The 4-4 scoreline perfectly illustrates the intensity of this match.

Hong Kong Island team continues with their relentless running tactics and constant attacking strategies, focusing on a high-energy, passionate style.

The Yugoslavian team was not to be outdone; their footwork was no less than that of the South American teams, so they naturally adopted an attacking strategy.

The Hong Kong team was satisfied with the final result, with Wu Feng scoring three goals again, becoming the most dazzling star of the match.

He could accept this outcome.

There's no way around it; the Hong Kong team's strength is undeniable. If they focus solely on defense, they simply won't be able to hold on.

The Yugoslavian team was known as the European Samba team. Its outstanding players had superb footwork skills, and it also had an incredibly sharp free-kick expert. How could they possibly defend against it?
The same is true!

Two of Yugoslavia's four goals were scored from free kicks, which is quite remarkable.

After this match, although Hong Kong Island only accumulated one point, they were one of the most dazzling teams in the World Cup.

There's no way around it; teams that play an offensive style naturally attract more attention.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Island team's attacking power is also quite formidable.

The goals of strong teams like West Germany and Yugoslavia were easily breached four times. Now, which team dares to say they can withstand that?

Even the Italian team, which has put together a chain defense, doesn't dare to stand up and talk nonsense. Do they really think Wu Feng's heavy cannon is just for show?
