The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 383 Radiant Light! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
All I can say is, thankfully it was 1990!

Exchanges between Hong Kong Island and South American countries are pitifully scarce.

As a newcomer to the World Cup, few people paid much attention to them at the beginning.

Previously, all the media outlets from the three countries in the same group regarded the Hong Kong team as a scoring machine, showing no regard for them whatsoever, whether in their words or in their writings.

As a result, the Hong Kong Island team suddenly exploded, catching the other teams in the group off guard. They didn't even have time to play any underhanded tricks.

Otherwise, given the nature of certain forces within Colombia, they might actually do something irrational.

Anyway, they're all pigs raised by some American institution, and no one knows when they'll go under. So they'll live a carefree life while they're still in power, and they don't value money at all.

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not one is patriotic.

What they're after is simply a clear understanding of the concept.

During the 1994 World Cup, a Colombian defender scored an own goal, which cost him his life.

As for the European betting companies, no one knows how Huo Daheng operated; in short, it was as if they had never appeared.

"Focus on playing football, don't get distracted by anything else!"

This was Huo Daheng's request, and Wu Feng had nothing to say except nod.

Soon, the third World Cup group stage match between Hong Kong Island and Colombia kicked off amidst great anticipation.

It's truly the focus of everyone's attention!
The main reason is that Hong Kong Island team performed exceptionally well in the previous two matches, and their consistently attacking football tactics have been well-received by fans.

Coincidentally, the Colombian team from South America also employs an attacking football tactic.

When two teams that primarily employ offensive tactics clash, even if neither is considered a top team, it's still a spectacular clash of titans.

Which fan wouldn't love watching a game like this?
The number of TV stations broadcasting live and rebroadcasting the show is no less than those so-called major events.

Hong Kong Island FC has a superstar like Wu Feng, currently ranked first in the World Cup top scorer list. Which fan wouldn't hope he continues his excellent performance and scores another hat-trick?
Colombia has Higuita, the goalkeeper known as the "madman," who is a legendary goalkeeper famous throughout the world of football.

Fans are naturally very interested in whether Higuita will perform as wildly as ever in this match.
That said, the American football scene in the 1990s produced several goalkeepers with extremely distinctive personalities.

Colombia's madman goalkeeper, the Mexican "flower butterfly" who appeared later, and Paraguay's Chilavert are all formidable goalkeepers with considerable fame and personality in world football.

On Hong Kong Island, at least 70-80% of households with their televisions on are watching ATV's World Cup broadcasts.

Seeing the familiar Hong Kong players on TV, they couldn't help but show excited expressions.

The fact that the Hong Kong Island team appeared on the World Cup stage and performed so well has really boosted the morale of the people of Hong Kong Island.

Fans from Australia, mainland China, and many other East Asian countries and regions are focusing their attention on this match.

Based on Hong Kong Island's previous performance, they have a high chance of defeating Colombia, or at the very least, qualifying for the Round of 16 as one of the best third-place finishes. Previously, football commentary programs from various countries offered all sorts of suggestions and analysis, almost to the point of comparing the colors of the players' underwear to see which was brighter, more sultry, and more flamboyant.

Ultimately, everyone agrees that Colombia's madman goalkeeper is an excellent target. This guy keeps rushing out of the penalty area, and if he messes up even once, he could concede a goal.

Hong Kong Island team has a powerful hitter like Wu Feng!
In fact, just as those football commentators had predicted, the infamous madman goalkeeper made a major blunder in this match.

Of course, the Colombian team is still quite strong.

At least, they would definitely be considered a strong team in the Americas!
In the subsequent World Cups of 1994 and 1998, Colombia made it into the main tournament. Who would dare to underestimate them?

From the very beginning of the match, neither team even bothered to probe the other before launching into an all-out attack.

This time, Wu Feng not only prepared to unleash powerful shots, but also spent some time organizing the midfield and passing the ball into the penalty area.

The pre-match strategy was simple: whenever there was an opportunity, the two main strikers of the Hong Kong team could shoot directly.

Given the erratic nature of this goalkeeper, the entire penalty area will become his stage, and also the place where he might make a mistake.

The two teams fought fiercely, with players frequently falling to the ground. The injuries alone caused each team to waste two substitutions.

At that time, FIFA had not yet explicitly prohibited the egregious act of tackles from behind, which could easily lead to key players being targeted in secret.

In one match, Wu Feng was tackled from behind twelve times!
If it weren't for his quick reflexes, keen observation, and ability to anticipate events, he would likely have suffered a loss despite his physical abilities.

The Hong Kong Island team players aren't made of clay; they naturally retaliated in kind, showing no humility or magnanimity whatsoever, displaying a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry).

The final score was 6 to 4!
Hong Kong Island scored six goals, while Colombia scored four!
It was truly another crazy goal-scoring frenzy. In the World Cup, a match with ten goals, and not even a strong team beating a weaker one, is absolutely thrilling and entertaining.

And indeed, this match was quickly recognized as the most exciting game of the group stage, bar none.

Hong Kong Island team won the game, and Wu Feng's fame reached an astonishing level, all because he scored four goals in this match!
He scored ten goals in three matches, including against world-class teams like West Germany and Yugoslavia, making his goals truly impressive.

A world-class goal-scoring machine!
This is how the outside world viewed him; in an instant, his brilliance and fame spread throughout the world.

Top European clubs, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, Inter Milan and AC Milan in Italy, and Bayern Munich in West Germany, have all extended offers to Wu Feng, wanting to invite him to join their teams.

Wu Feng didn't care about any of that and simply handed it over to his assistant team to handle.

At this point, his mind was already on their opponent in the round of 16, Italy, the host country of this World Cup.

That's right, after defeating the Colombian team, the Hong Kong Island team successfully advanced to the round of 16, but their luck wasn't very good.

Of course, no one in the Hong Kong Island team is paying attention to this right now. The team's ability to reach the round of 16 is already a pretty amazing achievement.

Before they set off from Hong Kong Island, no one dared to dream of such a thing. Only Wu Feng had the courage to do so. Now, shouldn't he be cheering and jumping for joy?
