The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 381 Asian King (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After two games, the Hong Kong Island team became an instant hit.

Every time a major live broadcast or rebroadcasting station mentions the World Cup, it plays highlights of the Hong Kong team's matches.

There's no way around it; compared to the dullness of other matches, Hong Kong Island's game was absolutely thrilling. And they scored a lot of goals.

They scored a total of seventeen goals in two games, which is an incredible feat anywhere.

It is said that Hong Kong Island is as lively as during the Lunar New Year.

Not only do football fans pay attention to the games, but ordinary citizens also follow the Hong Kong Island team's matches closely.

After months of public debate, all Hong Kong Island residents know that the Hong Kong Island team is a newcomer to the World Cup, and their participation this time is more likely to be about participation.

Therefore, expectations were not high from the beginning.

Putting everything else aside, the odds for the World Cup matches offered by Macau are shockingly high for the Hong Kong team, ranking second to last.

To everyone's surprise, the Hong Kong Island team performed exceptionally well.

In the first match, they managed to tie the score with West Germany at 4-5, which is no small feat.

In short, everyone at the Football Association and the citizens of Hong Kong Island are satisfied and have no intention of being critical.

Even the high-ranking foreigners in Hong Kong praised the Hong Kong team's performance. There was nothing they could do; the West German team was indeed very strong.

Even so, the newspapers still have plenty of sarcastic remarks from certain disgusting individuals, who are just like toads, utterly repulsive.

Fortunately, their voices weren't loud; perhaps they were also feeling guilty.

Otherwise, it could really become an international laughing stock.

The Hong Kong team's outstanding performance shocked not only the rest of Asia, but also East Asia. The news and newspapers of the United States, which also participated in the World Cup, were full of sour grapes.

At this time, the Cosmic Team was not as dominant as it would become later.

Once a team enters the World Cup finals, unless it's drawn into a "group of death," it generally has the ability to advance.

The current "Dream Team" is a standard minnow on the World Cup stage, the kind that anyone can bully.

The news about Xiao Rizi's life is also filled with numerous reports.

Indeed, the Hong Kong Island team's performance was truly outstanding.

At this time, the Xiao Ri Zi team was only at a second-rate level according to Asian standards.

Given Xiao Rizi Muqiang's personality, he would naturally lavish praise on the Hong Kong team. Who knows, after the World Cup, some of Xiao Rizi's mainland companies might sponsor their own outstanding players to come to the Hong Kong professional league for training.

In this regard, domestic companies have always done a good job.

To put it simply, because of the Hong Kong team, some sports media outlets in the United States and Japan are focusing their attention on Hong Kong.

If they were to see those sarcastic and unsavory reports, one can imagine how embarrassing it would be.

Needless to say, sports newspapers and fan groups in mainland China were in an uproar at this time.

The performance of the Hong Kong Island team easily won their approval.

In an instant, any of the main players on the Hong Kong Island team could be considered to have become famous overnight, at least in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and mainland China.

Fortunately, Wu Feng had made arrangements in advance. Various posters and trinkets related to the Hong Kong team, as well as other peripheral products, flooded into the market from the warehouses and production lines of factories and groups in mainland China as soon as possible.

In addition, the price is very affordable, leaving little room for pirates to operate. We can't let certain guys exploit this loophole. It's not that we're unwilling to give up the profits, but we don't want to breed a bunch of piracy monsters who then specifically target the increasingly famous Hong Kong team.

Wu Feng may not care much about the surrounding revenue, but the other members of the Hong Kong Island team certainly do.

This wave of merchandise sales has been a huge success, and each player on the Hong Kong Island team is guaranteed at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in revenue.

This doesn't even include the endorsements and advertisements they themselves have taken on.

When the Hong Kong team and the Yugoslav team fought to a 4-4 draw, the whole of East Asia was in an uproar again.

Wu Feng has become a superstar!

That's amazing, absolutely amazing.

His solo poster, along with the Hong Kong Island team's number 10 jersey he wore, sold out in just three days.

At this point, the fans didn't care whether Wu Feng was a wealthy boss or not; they regarded him as a true football superstar.

Isn't he a superstar?

In the match against West Germany, they scored three goals.

However, they still managed to score three goals in the match against Yugoslavia.

In two matches against world-class teams, Wu Feng scored six goals – what an incredible performance!

Even news media from the United States, mainland China, and other countries praised Wu Feng's amazing performance, giving him the title of "Light of Asia" and earning him unanimous recognition from fans in several countries.

In no time, Wu Feng's solo posters were plastered all over the streets and alleys of East and Southeast Asian countries.

This is what makes an Asian superstar.

During the World Cup, all other big stars and superstars in the entertainment industry have to take a backseat.

Football superstars like Wu Feng are the true kings of online traffic.

In short, the World Cup is still in full swing, and sports organizations from all over the world, including the United States, China, and many other countries and regions, have sent invitations to the Hong Kong Football Association.

The Hong Kong Island team was invited to travel to their country after the World Cup to play friendly matches against the national team and other strong club teams.

The appearance fees were getting higher and higher, making the top executives of the Football Association extremely happy. They hurriedly called Huo Daheng, who was far away in Italy, to report the good news.

That's right, even tycoon Fok personally went to Italy to watch the Hong Kong Island team's match, because the Hong Kong Island team performed exceptionally well.

Not only Wu Feng, the core player, but also the two strikers who scored a goal in each of the two games, performed well and their reputations rose rapidly.

Other players with outstanding physical fitness, active running, and excellent performance in terms of position and space also received unanimous recognition from fans.

What excites the players is that professional football clubs in Europe have begun to inquire about the players of the Hong Kong Island team.

What this means is obvious to anyone with a brain. It's a huge boost to the morale of the Hong Kong Island team players.

In fact, after experiencing two intense matches, the strength of the Hong Kong Island team's main players has improved significantly.

At this point, compared to when they hadn't yet undergone a long period of intensive training, they could be described as having undergone a complete transformation.

In short, everyone benefits from a good performance, and fame and fortune are easily gained.

However, Wu Feng did not expect that he would encounter a problem just before the third group stage match was about to begin.
