Today we are going to talk about Poon Pui Hin, a rising star in Hong Kong, China's football world. Let's start with his family background. Pan Peixuan is not an ordinary player, he is the son of former Hong Kong player Pan Wenjun, and his bloodline has football genes. Did you know that his father was the pride of the Hong Kong football team, not only on the field, but also served as the acting coach of the Guangdong South China Tigers, becoming the first Hong Kong coach of the Chinese Football Professional League. Now Poon Wenjun is an assistant coach at Kitchee, and Poon Peixuan is the star player of this team, and the father and son play in the same team, which is rare in the football world.
Let's talk about Pan Peixuan's career, his growth trajectory is like a script made up by a screenwriter. On May 6, 2017, at the age of 16, he made his debut for Dream FC when he was still a high school student. Fast forward to August 11, 2021, and he signed with Kitchee Club. In 2023, the young man's performance is getting brighter and brighter. On 23 March, he made his debut for Hong Kong in a friendly against Singapore, which resulted in a 1-1 draw. On 11 September, he scored his first international goal in a friendly against Brunei Darussalam to give Hong Kong a 10-0 victory. On October 1, at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, his decisive shot helped Hong Kong beat Iran 1-0 and reached the semi-finals of the Asian Games for the first time. On May 7, he also won the Hong Kong Super League championship with Kitchee.
When it comes to Pan Peixuan's performance in international A-level competitions, it is really amazing. In seven games he played, he scored four goals. These goals aren't just numbers, they represent wins. For example, in the 2-1 victory over the Chinese national football team, Pan Peixuan scored a brace. He also scored twice in the other 10-0 thrashing of Brunei. His performance can be called the new nemesis of Hong Kong football, and he became famous in a fight.
Pan Peixuan's value, 200,000 euros, is not a small number for a player who is only 23 years old. But what is more interesting is his performance on the pitch. After the defeat of the national football team, he once reposted a Weibo: "Our national football team played the spirit of Shaolin and sent three red cards", which seemed to express his dissatisfaction with the performance of the national football team. However, in the post-match interview, he paid tribute to the national football team and believed that the national football team is a strong team. Coach Anderson also warned him not to be complacent and to keep his feet on the ground.
Finally, there is a topic worth discussing. The China Super League and the China First Division can bring in players who are first registered in Hong Kong, China. This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for a Hong Kong player like Poon Pei Hin. With his outburst, Pan Peixuan may become a new target for the Chinese Super League team. Think about it, scoring two goals in a single game against the national football team not only proves his strength, but also may open the door to a higher stage for him.
I would like to ask everyone, do you think Pan Peixuan will become the next big star in the Chinese Super League, will he continue to create brilliance in international competitions?
