Chapter 277 Not an ordinary qualifier
Chinese fans all believe that the game on November 17, 2004 is a great shame for Chinese football. Mobile hps:
Hong Kong fans and media also believe that this is a great humiliation for Hong Kong football.
Why?
They believe that this game is obviously contrary to sports ethics, and the Hong Kong team must have been under pressure from above.
No one who loves football can accept this arrangement of cooperating with others to play counterfeit football.
Not to mention that you are still the one who was slaughtered.
In the eyes of Hong Kong fans, it is clear that you Chinese team is not good at it. We and Maracia only won one goal away from home, and we lost away from home, which led to the final round of group matches becoming a life-and-death battle.
As a result, we have to pay this price and make us the target of your goal.
How innocent is Hong Kong football?!
Why do you have to bear the consequences of your mistakes?
That game was a painful memory for every Hong Kong fan. At that time, every Hong Kong fan who was watching the game in front of the TV in the stands only felt the word "shame".
In fact, Hong Kong players once wanted to resist during the game.
Although the Hong Kong forward used offside again and again to help the Chinese team, the Hong Kong goalkeeper stopped doing it. He tried his best to intercept the Chinese team's offense and was in a state of courage. The Chinese team did not score until the last moment of the second half, and scored another goal in stoppage time, which made the score reach a 7:0 mark.
This inconsistent performance fully demonstrated the inner torment of Hong Kong players at that time.
It would be fine if the Chinese team could enter the top ten matches by stepping on the corpse of the Hong Kong team.
But the Chinese team brought Hong Kong team as the custody, which caused Hong Kong to suffer such a great humiliation, but they themselves have not yet entered the top ten.
This really makes Hong Kong fans look down on the Chinese team from the bottom of their hearts.
The Chinese sports industry has always had a very good mass base in Hong Kong and has a good reputation. Every time the Olympic champion goes to Hong Kong after the Olympics, it will be warmly welcomed by all walks of life in Hong Kong. Olympic champions are very popular in Hong Kong.
But only Chinese football is the object of ridicule and ridicule in Hong Kong, and such a performance is really not worthy of being respected.
So Hong Kong fans want to avenge the seven-goal revenge eleven years ago.
The captain of the Hong Kong team and their goalkeeper Ye Honghui announced in an interview before the game that he would do everything possible to block the Chinese team, and he vowed that he would never let the Chinese team score at his hands.
His remarks naturally aroused dissatisfaction among mainland Chinese fans.
But each of them has their own principles, and it is true that they say this. They can't ask them to open the door and let the Chinese team score goals like their predecessors eleven years ago?
In fact, it would be fine if it was just a grudge in football. The grudge in football was solved by football.
But eleven years later, Hong Kong and Hong Kong society at that time underwent tremendous changes.
Some emotions that did not belong to football have also been mixed into football, and some people with ulterior motives use the banner of football to vent their negative emotions.
Before playing against the Chinese team at home, some groups claimed that they were going to make trouble at the game site.
This World Cup qualifier was immediately cast a shadow and a burden that did not belong to it.

As the number one star of the Chinese team and even the number one star of Asian football, Gao Zheng naturally received attention from Hong Kong media after arriving in Hong Kong with the team.
The paparazzi attributes of Hong Kong media are very famous. The questions they ask are often very tricky, and there are various traps that make the respondents fall into their rhythm no matter how they answer.
In addition, in view of the tense atmosphere between the two places, before arriving in Hong Kong, the Chinese national team issued an order that no international players would be allowed to accept media interviews without authorization, even the kind of questions asked casually.
So even though countless reporters surrounded Gao Zheng and reached out to him to hear his opinion on the game, Gao Zheng could only remain silent and just smiled in front of the camera.
Gao Zheng himself knew it.
What can be said and what can't be said.
For example, after playing away games with Qatar before, he complained to the media about the preparations for the Football Association.
This is no problem, he can stand firm if he says it out loud.
No matter how unhappy the Football Association is, you can't really do anything to him.
But there are some things that involve Hong Kong that really cannot be said.
He said that if someone uses him, no one can save him.
This is not a football problem.
But facing the paparazzi in Hong Kong, does the national team think this can reduce criticism and disputes?
Innocent!
That night, Hong Kong TV broadcast a scene where Gao Zheng and other international players were silent and hurried in the face of reporters' questions.
The accompanying commentary is: "The Chinese international players are under pressure and are not allowed to speak..."
This goes to the path of "remarks xx"... Do you think the Hong Kong media are shameless?
There are also media a little better, at least only from the perspective of football, but their explanation is also very problematic: "Gao Zheng kept silent when facing our interview, obviously worried that he would boast about Haikou before the game and slapped himself in the face after the game. Although the Chinese team defeated Bhutan 13-0 in the last game, it was not that easy to break through the Hong Kong team goal guarded by Ye Honghui!"
When Gao Zheng saw this high statement from the Hong Kong media in his hotel room, he laughed.
Can you really add a show to myself.

Before the game, there was a ceremony to play the national anthem of both parties. However, because both the Chinese team and the Chinese Hong Kong team belong to China, it only takes one to play the Chinese national anthem.
However, when the players from both sides lined up and the stadium broadcast asked all the fans to stand up and prepare to play the national anthem, a boo sounded on the spot.
Everyone knows how this boo comes from.
Wu Lei, who was standing next to Gao Zheng, looked a little wrong when he heard the boo, but Gao Zheng still kept smiling, as if he hadn't heard the boo at all.
When the national anthem was officially played, the boo sound decreased, but in the stands where some groups gathered, they held up cards with the "b", which was the onomatopoeia of the boo sound, and they expressed their contempt and insult to the national anthem in this way.
Some fans turned around, turned their backs to the court, and placed their hands on the top of their heads and crossed them.
There are even some extreme fans who promote their ideas with banners written with x-single slogans.
It made the TV broadcaster dare not give the home fans a shot.
People who watched the live TV broadcast may not have noticed too much strangeness, but other fans and players on both sides could see clearly.
This game is not an ordinary World Cup qualifier...
Chapter completed!
