According to the announcement of the tournament today (14th), in addition to Chen Chi Hong himself, the home team has recruited Hong Kong football players from all over the world, including Li Kin-woo, Santos, Ou Weilun, Fan Junye, Chen Zhaoqi and Yip Honghui No wonder everyone is laughing at the record today. In other words, the host’s “star taste” is by no means inferior to some of the world’s stars.

Chen Zhikang, one of the “flag bearers”, said: “In addition to Ah Fai, our goalkeeper is Fan Junye. If we talk about these two, everyone should remember that they are both footballers. then also Li Jianhe and Li Jianhe who did not come to the press conference today.Santos, Ou Weilun, ‘Chen Qi’, etc. Compared with European stars, the number of our footballers should beat them first.
For Chen Weihao and Chen Zhaoqi, because they decided to hang up their shoes (in 2020) during the lockdown due to the epidemic, it was a shame that they were not able to formally say goodbye to the fans on the court. Speaking about the farewell match that was three years late, Chen Weihao said with a smile: “There was actually a farewell match at the time. Luo Sheng (class leader Luo Jiecheng) said that there were arrangements, but later there were no way because many things had changed due to the epidemic. I will not consider this Lunar New Year Cup as compensation, but I will always feel that I belong to the stadium. Before retiring, I played home games in the stadium to the Pegasus, so now I don’t even play in the Eastern Division of the A League. Of course Yes, I have to pay to come and watch my football!”
When asked about the memories that the Lunar New Year Cup brought him, the 41-year-old “Weihao” said: “A lot of memories. I remember that I used to look forward to the Lunar New Year Cup because there were two or three. leaders team first, and there must be a few big gifts. I would usually play in the first or last game. When it wasn’t a game, I would walk around the stadium because I wasn’t married at the time that. Many people would come to give me money, which would be thousands of yuan, or even more than my monthly salary. , So the Lunar New Year Cup used to be an expected football day ok. Later, because I got married, I had to deliver red packets, so I always leave after playing.” He believes that the Lunar New Year Cup has always been a tradition in Hong Kong, and he hopes that he can pass it on: “I think it is an indispensable program. It is very much like a tradition every year , just like watching a dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is difficult to watch a football game during the New Year, especially when working and some children go to school. There is enough time to watch a football game, and then go to say New Year’s greetings after watching it. Hopefully we can do it every year.”
Tang Jianwen has participated in the Lunar New Year Cup more than once in the past. He is looking forward to playing against Todi, but he is even more looking forward to collaborating with “Weihao”: “This time I look back at the stars. my own life, maybe in comparison with Tottenham and Manchester City. I’m even more looking forward to it because I’ve been watching Todi since I was a child, and I also have a good friend who supports Roma. But the happiest thing is that I can being on the same team as ‘Brother Hao’. I’ve never tried it before in my memory, so I’m really looking forward to it!”
Yip Hung-fai and Leung Chun-bong, currently playing for Oriental, are the two current players in the Hong Kong Stars team.On the first day of the new year, they will compete with Kit Chi for the medal championship older money. Liang Zhenbang, who plays a defense role, said with a smile that he will commit more fouls and give opponents opportunities to perform free throws: “Hualang and Snead are both global stars. Their free throws, corner kicks and free kicks are very good. Hopefully by then Don’t give them so much dirt…but really in this game I think we should kick them and give them more dirt so they can perform their best tricks.”
Chen Zhikang has played against Liverpool and Manchester United as a player, but he is still looking forward to playing on the court again this time. He also said that if time allows, he may ask all his -players come out to practice together and show their best performance on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
