[Sports News]Lee Man, representing Hong Kong for the first time in the AFC Champions League, won the Indonesian powerhouse Bali United in the first round of qualifiers on Wednesday, and will compete with the previous league leader Urawa Red Diamonds for group stage qualification next Tuesday. Tachibana Ryoya, who has been playing for foreign clubs since he grew up, also has the opportunity to make his debut at the Saitama 2002 Stadium. In order to fulfill his wish of Koto’s elders supporting him on the spot, he has purchased 30 tickets out of his own pocket. Invite family and friends to come and cheer. He said with a smile: “This is the proudest moment of my playing career!”
Lee & Man executives and the coaching team went to Japan to inspect the environment and the road as early as Thursday. Due to the shortage of seats, the rest of the staff and players will go to Japan in four groups today. Tachibana was also arranged to arrive at the airport in the followingnoon, and his teammates included Everton, Givaudon, Pauliano, Jose Anzu, Paulson, Yan Lefeng, Huang Wei and other talented players. Coincidentally, Lee and Man encountered Typhoon Signal No. 8 when he went to South Korea for a training camp before the season. The Hong Kong Observatory also issued a yellow rain warning this morning.
Tachi is 27 years old and grew up in Nagoya. He played for Gifu Industrial High School with his elder brother during his school days. Because there is too much competition in Japan, in order to fulfill his dream of being a professional player, Tachi resolutely gave up going to university in 2016, and traveled across more than half of the world to Montenegro to start his career, which lasted 7 years. It was not until last season that he was hired by Lee & Man that he returned to an Asian club for the first time.
Tachi revealed in an interview with “Tilu” before leaving the country that his family rarely had the opportunity to watch his game live, so he cherishes this opportunity to go home to perform: “Japan is too far away from Montenegro. They joined Lee & Man last season. You can fly to Hong Kong to support me, but it’s a pity that I can’t repay them with the championship trophy.” He continued: “Having the opportunity to compete in the AFC Champions League is the proudest thing in my career. It’s rare to return to my hometown this time, my family My friends and I really want to come and cheer for me. I have already bought 30 tickets for 1,800 yen for them, and I will try my best to show my best side.” Although he is a Nagoya Whale fan, Tachi admits I have been paying attention to the news of the Red Diamond international Hiroki Sakai, and even recommended him as Japan’s No. 1 guard. I look forward to playing once morest the idol this time.
If Lee & Man passes the red diamond level once more, they will be able to enter the group stage together with Jiezhi, creating a new history in the Hong Kong football world. Other Lee & Man players also attach great importance to Tuesday’s battle. Dutch midfielder Paulissen, who scored twice in the victory over Bali United and was voted the best player, is also excited regarding the upcoming reunion with compatriots Bryan Linssen and Alex Scalk Very excited. The Hong Kong team played at the Saitama 2002 Stadium in the first East Asian Cup in 2003. Lee & Man Hong Kong will feel honored to visit the same venue once more. The big ball will play once morest each other, and the chances are very slim. Although the Red Diamonds are super strong, they also sent coaches to the stadium on Wednesday to shout. It may not be easy for Li Wen to seek an upset.
