Watching a Football match Part II

Hongkong, however, adopted the tactics of close defence and sudden attack and was therefore in a state of coming under attack. But they ere successsful in the tactics and got the draw they wanted.

Hongkong did not have worthwhile efforts exvept fot the ball sent in vain by Chan Fatchi who was in the thick of things. The first half saw no scores at all.

In the second half, Hongkong put up a disciplined display and on many occasions had 11 men behind the ball. Guangdong continued on the attack without much success. Confronting the close defence, Guangdong ran out of ideas and starting pumping high balls into the middle, where MoCrory had things sorted out and took care of them with out too many difficulties.

Watching a Football match Part I

I am a typical football fan. It goes with out saying that I would not miss the opportunity to watch the first leg of the two-leg Interport between Guangdong and Hongkong.

When three o’clock was due, I switched on my television set. The Guangdong People’s stadium was exposed to view on the screen. No sooner had the whistle been blwon than the match started. Guangdong, fielding five of the national players, gabe free play to their quick tactics. In the fourth minute, Ku Kwongming made his first shot but it was taken by Hingking goalkeeper Chu Kwok-kuen. In the tenth minute, Rong Zhihang, laying in ambush in front of the goal, got a pass from Ng YUkwah and headed the ball staight into the hands of goalkeeper Chu. Two minutes later, Ku Kwongming easily beat Hongkong’s Chan Saikau and crossed for WOng Kwunwai who kneed past the goal mouth from six yards out. By now Hongkong were under heavy pressure and with the ball being swung dangerously into the penalty area, it looked only a matter of time that a goal would be scored.

One day, when his mother returned home off work, he knelt before her, repented of his mistakes and begged his mother pardon. As she saw this, her wyes glistened with tears of joy.

Chan Yong has really turned over a new leaf since then. He attended night school and learnt the trading knowledge of import and export. Finishing the training, he succeeded in his application for his present job.
