[Special Correspondent Gong Naijie/Reporting from Tokyo, Japan] In the AFC Champions League, the Taiwanese team faced the Australian team that they had to win, and they arranged for the Japanese player Yang Baixiang to start on the bench. The head coach of the Taiwanese team, Gao Zhigang, explained that he had to make some adjustments to his role. "In the second half, he needs to be a running or guarding player. It may be necessary for him because his running speed is really fast."

However, Yang Baixiang scored 2 goals against the Japanese team yesterday and struck out once. The designated hitter position was changed to Zeng Sheng'an, the youngest on the team. President Tsuna said, "From the observation during the training process, Zeng Sheng'an's condition is really better, so he will play first today."

Tsang's season this year was like a sauna. He was dropped to the second division three times in the middle of the season. He ended the regular season with a batting average of 1.67. He was still selected for the Taiwan tournament and hit a ground-breaking three-pointer. Now he is selected for the Taiwan team. He said that he never thought he would be able to compete with such strong Taiwanese teammates. "I stayed in the second division for a while in the middle of the season. I never thought I would be able to play in the Taiwan competition, let alone the AFC Champions League."
