Reporter: "So today Hong Kong Team sent Jordan Team to attack. Was it you who came up with the strategy of being invisible all the time?"
Zhang Kuang:"Huh? You, you, how..."
Reporter: "How do I know? Because your tactics were analyzed by China CCTV's commentator Xu Yang, and he analyzed it during the halftime break. Then he also analyzed the trend of the second half, and his judgment was fulfilled exactly.
It means that Hong Kong Team has been luring the enemy deep and letting Jordan Team strengthen its attack. Then you pretend to be restricted and let Jordan Team relax its defense against you. In this way, you can easily score goals.
Did you come up with this tactic? You have a precedent of giving tactical advice in the UEFA Champions League finals, right? Aren't you worried that Jordan Team's dozen shots will cause Hong Kong Team to concede?"
Zhang Kuang was speechless. He really lamented that there are many great people in this world, and they were really seen through.
Zhang Kuang: "Guide Xu Yang, you are really awesome! You can't say it was entirely me who suggested it, I just suggested a possibility.
As for whether we are worried about Hong Kong Team conceding goals, in fact we are already prepared to concede goals. This is somewhat risky, but it is also a good opportunity to practice the team's defense.
So I must thank my teammates for the clean sheet in the end. They have made great progress and are very capable.
Some players already have Premier League main strength, such as Shane·Lowry, absolute Premier League level main strength."
The reporter asked, "Of the five goals, which one do you like best?"
Zhang Kuang tilted his head and thought for a while, "The last one, what the forward likes most is that he doesn't have to put in much effort, and he only needs to catch the ball from his teammates and score a goal with a gentle touch. This is the most comfortable."
Reporter: "Then what do you think of the next group stage?"
Zhang Kuang: "No need to read it, China Hong Kong Team's entry into the top ten is already certain. I believe no one will doubt it at this time, right?"
Reporter: "..."
At the end of the interview, Zhang Kuang nodded to the reporters, turned around and walked to the locker room.
The head coach did not ask him to go to the post-match press conference, but asked Fan Chun-yip to go, and Zhang Kuang opened the door to the locker room and went to celebrate with his teammates.
Immediately after the game, this interview video was released on the Asian Football Confederation official website and Hong Kong major media platforms, and was also widely circulated on social media in various countries.
Hong Kong's discussion forum exploded instantly, with messages flooding the screen:
"Ah, he directly admitted Xu Yang's guess? Is this really Hong Kong Team's tactic? And it was proposed by Zhang Kuang? Oh my god, I can't believe this!"
"It's over, Zhang Kuang is going to become Tactics Master. On the surface, he has successfully given tactical advice twice."
"Haha, the most tragic thing is Jordan Team, right? He was seduced by Hong Kong Team's tactics, and then mistakenly thought that he was just a little bit close to scoring, and then desperately broke down his defense to make it easier for Zhang Kuang to score."
"That's not what hurts Jordan Team the most. The most hurtful thing is what Zhang Kuang said, 'Although Jordan Team lost 0:7, they deserve respect. This is a strong team...' Oh my god, you're laughing to death. There's no such thing as hurtful, okay?"
"Zhang Kuang is too bad. He defeated others and then called them strong."
"Haha... I can't stop laughing."
"If Zhang Kuang continues to grow like this, when he retires, he will definitely be a first-class coach. His tactical ability is very strong. He can not only beat strong teams, but also set traps for weak teams."
"No, I just don't understand. This tactic allowed Jordan Team to launch more than a dozen shots. Where did they get the confidence to keep their opponents clean? How did they do this?"
"Well, don't say you can't figure it out. I can't figure it out either. This is a bit nonsense. It feels like it's just a clean sheet for the sake of a clean sheet. It's simply impossible for other teams."
"Don't think reality is absurd. Every absurdity you can imagine will happen in reality."
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that our Hong Kong Team would become the undisputed team that qualified for the group stage."
"..."
On the football forums of Japan and South Korea, discussions were equally overwhelming. Asia netizens' comments had their own language characteristics and emotions:
Japan 2ch Forum:
"Zhang Kuang... Is this guy really Asia? That kind of explosiveness and impact is completely at the level of Europe's top striker. Eight goals in two games? I can't even find this kind of information in the FIFA game."
"Japan Team What if we meet Hong Kong Team in the top ten? Can our defenders guard him? Maya Yoshida? Yuto Nagatomo? I don't think so. He will treat him like a kindergarten kid."
"During the interview, he said, 'Although Jordan lost 0:7, they are a strong team and deserve respect...' Isn't this too damaging? Why would he say such a thing? It offends people."
"The combination of Troussier+Zhang Kuang is too scary. One is coach Europe who knows Asia football best, and the other is a genius that has never been seen in Asia football history. The rise of Hong Kong Team is not accidental, it is inevitable."
"Although I don't want to admit it, Zhang Kuang's playing style is really fascinating. It's not fancy or show off his skills. All his actions are for one purpose: scoring goals. This kind of efficiency-oriented playing style is what a top player should look like."
"I think he looks like Ronaldo from Asia, not in terms of technical style, but in that way: you know exactly what he is going to do, but you can't guard against his temperament. It's terrifying."
South Korea Naver Sports section:
"Zhang Kuang scored eight goals in two games... This information gives me goosebumps. If South Korea Team encounters him, can the defense restrict him? I think it's quite embarrassing."
"I watched the video of his channel interview. Don't be fooled by Hong Kong Team. They trick you into going out to attack, and then sneak attack from behind."
"This is only possible when facing a weak team. When facing South Korea Team, it will either lure the enemy deeper, or let the enemy go. South Korea Team will directly make them doubt their lives."
"Haha, you are so arrogant. Are you sure that when South Korea Team enters Hong Kong Team's doubtful life, he won't be entered into a doubtful life by Zhang Kuang first?"
"Zhang Kuang is so handsome. He is suitable for starring in idol dramas. Really, I have never seen a male protagonist in an idol drama who is as handsome as him."
"That's because he is an athlete and very strong, so he is handsome not only in appearance, but also in temperament."
"I think the pattern of Asia football is really going to change. It used to be Japan South Korea Australia is the first gear, now Hong Kong Team has Zhang Kuang, Hong Kong will be directly inserted into the first gear. If the top ten games are divided into the group of Hong Kong Team, it will be the group of death."
"..."
Europe netizens' comments were concentrated on the Manchester United fan forum and Twitter. The die-hard fans' enthusiasm for Zhang Kuang has reached a new height:
Reddit Manchester United area:
"Zhang Kuang flew to the national team to play two games World Cup qualifiers, scoring eight goals, and then immediately flew back to Manchester to prepare for the fourth round of Premier League at the weekend. This man's physical fitness and ability to maintain condition are at the level of an alien."
"Zhang Kuang is really good at scoring goals, but he is also really mean-spirited. You beat others 7:0, and you still praise them as a strong team. This... doesn't it mean that China people are very humble? How is this modesty?"
"I just like his bitchy mouth, haha, it's very interesting."
"..."
Twitter Manchester United diehard fan:
"Zhang Kuang=goal. It's that simple. No matter which team he is on, no matter which stadium he is on, no matter who the opponent is. He is synonymous with scoring goals."
"I have been watching football at Manchester United for twenty years, and I have never seen any forward like Zhang Kuang, who switches between the national team and the club without any pressure. Some people wither when they return to the national team, but he becomes stronger when he returns to the national team."
"Brothers, stop bragging. Buy a plane ticket for Zhang Kuang and fly back! Sir Ferguson said, go directly to the training base when you arrive! The boss is urging me!"
"..."
After the game, Amman International Stadium's news came out of the hall.
When Troussier walked in, the applause from the reporters in the audience lasted for nearly ten seconds.
France was still wearing the white polo shirt, and the expression on his face was one of calm after a storm. He sat down, picked up the microphone, and said "Thank you" in English first, and then waited for the translation.
"This is a great victory for the team." Troussier's voice was calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "We faced West Asia's strong team away from home, and proved the infinite possibilities of football with seven goals.
Zhang Kuang's performance was impeccable, and the fifth son Dengke added assists to revitalize the team. The goals of Cris Kang, Zheng Shaowei, and Li Weilian perfectly explained our offensive system."
"The clean sheet was a credit to the team's defense. The opponent's offense was very methodical and fierce, but our defensive players completed their mission. Congratulations to them.
Fan Chun-yip made many wonderful saves today. He is another key player in our victory. Although he is thirty-eight years old, he is an old tree that is blooming and exuding the vitality of the second spring.
Of course, success will not make us lose ourselves. We remain sober. This victory is a tactical success, not an absolute crushing of strength.
We will continue to polish this formation and focus on the subsequent group matches. Thank you to all the fans who went to Amman, they are our twelfth player."
Reporter Middle East raised his hand. "Zhang Kuang just said in an interview with reporters that it was Hong Kong Team's tactical arrangement to let Jordan Team attack multiple times. Is that so? Why did you arrange such a tactic?"
Troussier was stunned for a moment. "Did he say that? Why didn't I know?"
At this time, the translator whispered the process in Troussier's ear, and then Troussier understood what was going on.
Troussier smiled mysteriously, "We still underestimated the vision of some experts. Unexpectedly, someone saw through our tricks during halftime.
Yes, this is indeed our tactic. When Zhang Kuang and I were talking about how to let him score more goals, he said that if the opponent lowers their vigilance and restrictions on him, then he can score a lot of goals.
So, the two of us discussed how to make the opponent lower their vigilance and restrictions on him, and later found that letting the opponent attack was the best way."
Reporter: "Aren't you afraid that your opponent will score a lot of goals after attacking? For example, if you score 7, what if your opponent scores 9, 10 or more?"
Troussier nodded. "You are right, so we have a plan, that is, if the opponent scores more than two goals under this tactic, then we will stop and we will switch to a more stable style of play.
But the fact was beyond our expectation. Unexpectedly, our defensive players withstood the indiscriminate bombardment of Jordan Team, shut down the opponent, and we also gained a big score.
This is a very magical game and a very magical tactical experiment. If it weren't for Zhang Kuang, I really wouldn't dare to play like this."
Reporter: "Did Zhang Kuang promise you something?"
Troussier: "He didn't promise me anything, but I know that he can score more than two goals in a game, so the worst result is: if Jordan Team really scores more than two goals, then we will also change our tactics. Zhang Kuang's offensive ability gives me the confidence to equalize or even overtake, and I can accept it."
Reporter: "Then do you think it will be difficult for Hong Kong Team to face the top 20 group stage next?"
Troussier thought for a moment, "Our current goal is to reach the top ten first and World Cup qualify. But judging from today's performance, this team has the ability to go further.
As long as we stay healthy and stay focused, nothing is impossible. Zhang Kuang's presence makes all the difference, but more importantly, everyone on the team is running for each other."
Reporter: "..."
Afterwards, the reporters asked Fan Chun-yip a few questions and ended the interview with Hong Kong Team.
Jordan coach Adnan Hamad then walked into the press room. His expression was tired but he maintained his demeanor.
"The 7-0 home defeat was a disgrace to the whole team. I even just learned that this was their tactic to lure the enemy." His voice was low.
"Of course, even if I knew in advance that this was their enemy tactic, we would still play like this. It's just that we completely underestimated Hong Kong Team's offensive strength, especially Zhang Kuang's strength is far beyond our imagination.
At the same time, we also underestimated the defensive strength of Hong Kong Team. We shot so many shots but didn't score a single goal. Luck was not on our side.
But I believe luck will be on our side again next time, and I don't think they will succeed with this tactic a second time..."
A reporter asked, "Do you think Jordan's strategy of defending Zhang Kuang failed?"
Adnan Hamad was silent for a few seconds. "It is true that we made mistakes in our strategy of defending Zhang Kuang, but I believe that no matter how we defend, we can only prevent Zhang Kuang from scoring two to three goals, but we cannot prevent him from not scoring.
Because not only can we not be able to stop him from scoring goals, Barcelona can't either, and I don't believe we are better than Barcelona."
Reporter: "..."
That night, a small celebration banquet was held in the restaurant of the hotel where Hong Kong Team was staying.
Zhang Kuang drank some wine with everyone and experienced the more pure enthusiasm of Middle East girls. He quite liked Middle East girls. Their facial features were in line with the aesthetics of China men, and with their plump figures, they were very explosive.
What's even more rare is that they can sing and dance, which is very beautiful.
Of course, the disadvantage is the body odor, but this is not a big problem for Zhang Kuang.
At 7 o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhang Kuang finished practicing. After practicing all night, he became paralyzed one after another.
He walked out of the hotel door with his backpack on his back. Amman The morning light had just diffused from the eastern ridgeline, dyeing the entire city pale gold.
The dry and cool air fills the lungs, refreshing people.
There was a hotel business shuttle bus parked at the door of the hotel. Fan Chun-yip and Leung Chun-pong were standing next to the car. Their eyes were red and bloodshot, but they were holding on to see him off.
"Why are you up so early?" Zhang Kuang looked at them, "You two are still training this morning?"
Fan Chun-yip yawned. "I am the captain, and it is my duty to give people away. This makes us Hong Kong Team humane."
Leung Chun-pong handed him a plastic bag. "To eat on the road, there are some snacks brought from Hong Kong."
Zhang Kuang took it, glanced at the plastic bag, and then looked at their faces.
He nodded and smiled, "Thank you."
Zhang Kuang hugged the two of them.
"See you in October." Fan Chun-yip said.
"See you in October." Zhang Kuang said and got into the commercial car.
As the commercial vehicle drove towards the airport, Zhang Kuang looked back at the two figures at the hotel door. Fan Chun-yip and Leung Chun-pong were still standing there, waving to him.
He turned his head, leaned on the seat, and looked out the window at the morning light Amman.
The Asia paper media on September 7th was very lively.
Hong Kong "South China Morning Post": "Epic away miracle! Hong Kong Football Team lures the enemy and becomes a god with tactics, Zhang Kuang dominates the game with five goals, and 7-0 bloodbaths Jordan the devil's home court!"
Jordan "Al-Rai": "World Cup qualifiers suffered the most painful defeat in team history at home. The midfield completely collapsed and the defense was ineffective. The dark horse Hong Kong broke through the foundation of West Asia's strong team in one battle."
Asian Football Confederation official website. "The biggest upset in the top 20 is born! China Hong Kong has a balanced offense and defense, perfect output in the first and second halves, and rewrites the team's history with a textbook offensive victory. Zhang Kuang scored eight goals in two games, setting a World Cup qualifiers Asia district scoring record."
Japan "Sankei Shimbun": "Japan Team should be afraid. Zhang Kuang scored eight goals in two games, averaging 4 goals per game. If Hong Kong Team reaches the top ten, can Japan Team's defenders guard him? The answer is: no."
South Korea "The Chosun Ilbo": "Zhang Kuang is rewriting Asia football history. His five goals yesterday were in different ways: countering offside, grabbing points in the penalty area, pushing shots, and headers. Showing an all-round finishing ability with no blind spots. The Asia team will really have to study the anti-Zhang Kuang tactics next. This is a reality that everyone has to put on the table, because sooner or later they will meet on the field."
Even the Europe media came to join in the fun.
United Kingdom "The Times": "Manchester United forward Zhang Kuang scored five goals in World Cup qualifiers and set a record of eight goals in two games. Ferguson Jazz sent a text message to congratulate him after the game."
France "L'Équipe": "France coach Troussier's magic continues at Asia. This France coach took less than a year to transform Hong Kong Team from a weak team into a Asia strong team.
After a 7-0 away victory over Jordan, Hong Kong Team's qualifying situation is excellent. Troussier has proved a truth, there is no weak team, only a coach who can't use people."
Spain "Marca": "Zhang Kuang's name is transcending football. He is not only Manchester United's goal-scoring machine, but also Hong Kong Team's totem.
World Cup qualifiers scored eight goals in two games, which is terrifying in any league. Asia Football is going through a revolution, and the name of the revolution is Zhang Kuang.
La Liga The league needs such players, Real Madrid maybe take action."
