Subject: [NT] Hong Kong - India

Coming saturday we will play a friendly match against India. Since both India and Hong Kong will participate in the Mini World Cup, their manager, De Generaal, proposed to play with a weaker team. But because it's my first match with a National Team, I prefered playing with our strongest line-up. Long story short, we will both play with 6 players who are older than 21 years old, and 5 players who are 21 or younger.

India is ranked 52nd with 1258.00 points.
We are ranked 79th with 545.70 points.

So it's going to be a tough match, but it does mean that in case of a draw, we will gain ranking points. Offcourse I'm hoping for a win, but we'll see. It's probably going to be an exciting match either way :)

We must play rigidly in defense and forcefully in attack. I would like to underline that Hong Kong owns young and talented player (U-21). Victory over Indie would sensation and all in Hong Kong count on it but particularly waiting for imitated debut coach Mithos and he's assistance.

And the match has started!

Well, I think we can be happy with this 3-1 victory! :)

well i think this is good match we do good job for this NT team our team is good (me mithos and faters:D)

congrats guys! well done!

Quite a good victory, impressive start from Hong Kong, but the game died out after the 3rd goal. The positioning of Wen fully exploits the weakness of Indian's middle-oriented tactic. I hope the A-team's guy can give delightful performance as well.

Not Bad Mithos... the game against Russia.Allthough a loss, but it was definitely not a walk over. Good job!

They don't deserve a victory, since our strikers miss a number of glorious chances, but our defenders are clearly over-performing in the first 60 minutes. Too bad that we can't hold on or even snatch a victory.

Thanks, our defenders were doing a great job indeed, too bad our strikers didn't manage to score a goal, especially in the 48th minute, when Shang Wai Kwok managed to get 1 on 1 with their keeper. Though they were better, it wasn't a walk-over like gsasia said. If only we had better midfielders...

our midfielders has already improved a lot compared to 3 seasons ago, when players with value of about 2000000 can be a regular mid..

Yeah, but there's still a long way to go. Yiu Chung is on the other hand one of the most promising midfielders, he may allready be the best even though he's still only 20 years old.
We have a few more that can become great midfielders, but for the time being, our midfield will be our weakness...
