Defeat is glorious! Hong Kong, China, men's football team finished fourth in the Asian Games, setting a record Is the Chinese men's football team 7th ashamed?

On October 7, Beijing time, the bronze medal match of the men's football team at the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Hong Kong men's football team lost to the Uzbekistan men's football team, and did not win a medal, but the fourth place is already the best record in their team history!

The Hong Kong men's team, which has never made it through the World Cup and Olympic Games, returned to the Asian Cup this year after 55 years, and in the Asian Games, they only reached the quarterfinals once in 1958, and have already reached the 1/8 final three times in a row.

At this Asian Games, the Hong Kong men's football team was not favored, and the group stage was "automatically" qualified because of the withdrawal of two opponents, but both times they faced Uzbekistan with a small loss by 1 goal.

However, after entering the knockout round, the performance of the Hong Kong men's football team was amazing: 1-0 defeated Palestine in the 1/8 final, and 1-0 defeated the traditional Asian team Iran in the 1/4 final, reaching the final four of the Asian Games for the first time in history!

Unfortunately, the Hong Kong men's team lost 4-0 to the Japanese men's team in the semifinals, failing to continue the miracle. And in the final of three or four places, they still played very tenacious in the first half, and did not concede a goal until the 43rd minute.

In the end, the gap in strength still made the Hong Kong men's football team lose a big score, losing to the Uzbekistan men's football team for the third time, and missing a medal! However, the fourth place has already created the best ranking in the team's history, and the fans applauded them, it is all a family!

In contrast, the Chinese men's football team stopped in the quarterfinals and ended up in 7th place, not as high as the Hong Kong men's team, isn't it ashamed?
