Pass and Goal (2025) Movie Script
Oh, thank goodness a lady blocked it.
It's your fault. Why so much force?
Go get it back.
Huh?
Me?
I have a bad feeling about this.
You always have a bad feeling, don't you?
Go ahead.
OK, come with me.
Me?
Oh, ok.
Hey, ma'am. That's our ball.
Thank you.
Wait.
You guys smashed my phone.
Pay for it.
Pay for what?
We just kicked the ball onto your head.
Then you dropped the phone yourself.
Okay, just stop it.
Call your parents and then we'll talk.
Ma'am, do you know who our parents are?
No. Should I?
So you don't know them, huh?
Great.
Let's go!
Hey!
It's scratched.
Didn't mean to hurt you. Sorry.
Hey, you little brat.
Is Fong Hay Man here?
What's up?
You got two suitcases to
sign for. Thank you.
Your cousin's daughter is such a show-off.
It's just two suitcases.
Why did she use a courier?
The shipping fee is on you, sir.
Collect on delivery.
So she's not a show-off.
Fortunately, you always help others,
so you pay for her.
How much is it?
US$140.00.
Okay. Thanks.
Done. Thank you. Bye.
What kind of niece is that?
You haven't met up in decades and
she suddenly asks to move in.
Our home isn't big enough.
She's moving from the affluent
Deep Water Bay, to this slum.
Poor her.
I've never lived in Deep Water Bay.
Aren't I worse off?
Well, she's all alone in Hong Kong.
Like Vin Diesel says,
We are family.
Family, my ass!
If I hadn't been pregnant with Ying,
I wouldn't have married you.
You write screenplays all day,
while all she knows is football.
You two just like to daydream.
So that proves you didn't cheat on me.
She's truly my daughter, isn't she?
You wanna get beat up?
Fold all the clothes.
Yes, madam.
Hey! Hurry up.
You thought I wouldn't
know if you came back?
Shut up. I'll deal with you later.
Are you done with your homework?
Were you playing football again?
Nope.
I just... I went to study.
With a ball in your hands?
She's like Captain Tsubasa.
The ball is her friend.
It's natural that she studies
with her friend, isn't it?
Hello.
Hey, niece. Come.
My wife and my daughter.
Hi, Uncle. Hi, Auntie.
Hello, hello.
Excuse me.
Have my suitcases arrived?
Yes.
Thank you.
Greet your cousin.
Hello, cousin.
You must be my cousin.
What a big smile!
Must be a good friend of yours.
Auntie...
Cousin! I'm so happy to
share my room with you.
Come on, let's take a look at my room.
I'll take care of my cousin.
What's with your daughter?
Cousin, please.
Please don't tell my mom
I was playing football and
broke your phone today,
or I'll be banned from football forever.
Oh, no...
I'll put this away.
This bed is for you.
Sit down...
Huh? The screen seems to be broken.
Shall I take it to Apliu Street for a fix?
Wait, cousin.
How about we swap our phones?
They only bought me that
after I got accepted
into a good secondary school.
To pay my tuition,
Mom has to work at the
nursing home in the morning
and tailor people's clothes at night.
Okay, okay.
Buy me a new one when
you have enough saved up.
Sure thing. Thank you, cousin.
Cousin, where are you going?
I need to use the bathroom.
Good morning.
Hello, your coffee.
Who is it?
A pretty woman,
she says she knows you and wants to talk.
A pretty woman? How lovely!
Yes, it is.
Hey, smile.
Hello, welcome to Big Shot Investment.
You can call me...
Hello, Joe.
Hi, Ms. Hay Man.
It's been a while. Take a seat.
Here. Have some coffee.
Thank you.
How are things?
How can I help you?
Nothing much.
I haven't worked in a long time.
I'm a bit bored.
So I want to work again for fun.
You're doing fine now.
Let's see if there's a chance
for us to work together...
The other day, I was driving
a rich woman to get her nails done
and passed by No. 7 Deep Water Bay Drive
only to find it's been foreclosed.
Debbie? What's the deal?
You said the foreigner who created
the crypto was your friend.
You said it would appreciate
many times over.
You bet everything you had and told me
to do so because we were best friends.
I did it, too. And I lost everything.
But after that, my dad got me out of debt.
You investing everything
was your own doing.
Should I make up your loss?
Go back to your own class.
Bye.
You freaking bitch!
Sister.
You want to work again for fun,
but don't make fun of me.
You were somewhat my mentor.
How could I lead you?
One more thing.
I don't want you to push yourself so much
that you have to see a psychiatrist again.
If I hadn't pushed you so hard before,
you wouldn't have achieved
all that you have today.
Indeed.
I really want to help you.
However, you've filed for bankruptcy
and are unable to renew your
professional license.
As long as you want to help me.
I have a deal with the bank.
I sold all my stuff,
and they gave me three months.
If I can pay off my debts
within three months,
not only will I not have to go bankrupt,
I can also keep my house and
restart my mortgage from scratch.
So I'm not interested in
small deals anymore.
If I can close a big deal,
you'll earn a nice commission, right?
Is it really that great to
live in Deep Water Bay?
You've worked so hard
just for the money.
Do you remember
why I hired you in the first place?
Yes.
You said a person who is dying of hunger
will fight the hardest.
Hey. Leave it.
I've had a sip.
Hey, Bella,
go downstairs and buy me an Oat Milk Latte,
double shot.
Yeah. Okay.
Just so you know,
there's no private room for you here.
Thank you.
All right.
You're done here. Go out, Fong Hay Man.
Tsang Chi Ying.
Stop watching that!
Hit the sack now!
If you're late for school tomorrow,
you can forget about football forever.
Do you hear me?
Good night, cousin.
Good night.
Cousin, are you asleep?
Yes.
What is it?
Nothing. I just have a question.
Dad said you lost everything overnight.
Why do you seem like nothing ever happened?
Cousin,
even if you are destined to lose,
as long as you don't concede,
it won't be a loss.
A win is a win. A loss is a loss.
How can you not concede?
You wouldn't understand. Go to sleep.
Senior, I'm here for the training.
I'm here to play football.
Maybe after you've put on
some decent cleats.
Go away.
Come over and show me how
you do keepy-uppies.
Yes.
Don't say I never have your back.
These are all big deals here.
It's just that every deal has some
issues that need to be resolved.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Alex Lip, the son of the
owner of Sports Empire.
His father was hospitalized for a while.
He thought his father would hand
over the company to him for sure.
But his father didn't,
and told him to organize
a U-12 football championship instead.
Clearly, he's testing him.
He's teasing him, right?
How many people even watch
football in Hong Kong?
Especially for U-12 kids?
His father's not to blame.
It's widely known that this
son fails at everything he does.
His only success was
being born into that family.
Check this.
Wow!
OH MY GOD!
Joyce?
Where's Joyce?
Yes? I'm here.
Hey!
Your Instagram post yesterday
got over 100,000 likes.
How did come up with visiting children
with cancer? How despicable!
And so smart!
And look,
this kid really looks the part.
Even got his head shaved.
How much did you spend?
That's my brother.
I'm sorry.
Same dad but different moms,
so we're not that close.
Since I had to visit him,
I posted about it while I was there.
What a surprise!
So many people DMed
me. They're really kind.
That's how I closed two deals.
Genius!
Let's give Joyce a big hand.
Come on!
That's commendable. Keep up the good work.
Now get back to work.
Sis, does anyone in
your family have cancer?
It's okay. Anyone stuck in the ICU?
Forget I asked.
Hey, cousin.
Huh?
You injured?
In the ICU?
How despicable!
Thought you said it was serious.
I don't think so.
Huh?
Isn't it serious?
Got into a fight while playing football?
No wonder your mom doesn't allow it.
I didn't fight. I just got beaten up.
He clearly looked down
on me for being poor.
Well, the poor are inevitably
looked down upon.
Are the rich really that great?
Not necessarily.
But at least the rich
can do whatever they want to do.
I just want to play football.
At least I can play football every day.
Yo, Tsang Chi Ying!
Hey! You guys again?
Oh, isn't she that auntie the other day?
Ying, did you sell us out?
What do you mean?
This is my cousin. She's kind.
Greet her.
Hi, Auntie.
Hello, hello.
Just kidding, pretty lady.
Let's play some football. It's fun.
No, thanks. You guys go
on without me. I'm off.
Let's go on, then.
Come on, let's do it.
Cousin.
Thank you.
(Voices of playing football)
Sister.
I thought about it all night.
Sadfishing seems a bit outrageous.
But you know, some things only work
because they're outrageous.
But what if he's the self-righteous type?
Then we'll lose this big deal forever.
So we gotta make sure he feels like
it is his own idea.
But I think, with his intelligence,
it's a bit difficult.
Take a chance. I don't have much time.
Hey, Alex.
Hey Joe.
What a coincidence!
Let me introduce you to my new colleague,
Hay Man. This is Alex.
Hello...
So you...
Sit down.
We're not bothering you, are we?
No. Sit down. Want something to drink?
I'd like to... Why not try
the signature drink here? It's really good.
Cool...
Make that two.
Are you here alone?
Yeah. Just thinking about things.
Still bothered by the
football championship?
Maybe a little.
Promoting football in Hong Kong
is really tough.
No wonder my daddy entrusted
this mission to me.
That's because you're smart!
Excuse me.
Another phone number starting with 3.
There's been a lot of them lately.
Yeah. Could be scam calls.
If I'm not mistaken,
you're quite into football.
I see you have a football phone case
and a football-themed ringtone.
Oh!
You're half right!
My cousin is really into football.
She switched phones with me for fun.
Oh, there are a lot of videos of her
playing football with her friends on it.
Let's take a look.
Yeah. Show us.
They play pretty well.
What a lively bunch of kids, huh?
They really want to play a
proper football game.
But sadly, their families are so poor that
they can't even afford the entry fee.
Wait. Oh,
those are white canvas shoes.
But she drew boots on them.
How did you even notice that, Alex?
Look, they're still playing even though
the ball's deflated.
Joe,
don't you always say that
our children's PA insurance
hasn't made much of
a splash despite all the publicity?
Yes.
Ask my cousin and her
football friends to promote it.
It'll definitely work.
That's true! It's worth a try!
You know, when people see these poor
kids following their football dreams,
even if they're not helping with money,
they'll like and share the posts at least.
Yeah.
Alex, what do you think?
You've got a sensitive
marketing sense, Alex.
Do you think it's worth a try?
Sensitive?
Not really.
But I can think about it. Well, I got it.
Already?
You can just make them
join a football match.
Accidents are bound to happen
in a game of football.
And then you capture their
unwanted injuries,
like broken legs or bleeding.
Then you can sell your PA insurance.
That's why I always say Alex is a genius.
Alex.
You put a lot of money in my pocket.
So you know why I'm rich.
What matters is your input,
which has inspired me.
That's why I always say,
if my marketing staff were
as good as you guys
able to think outside the box...
Hey?
Have you thought of something?
Something related to
your football championship this time?
Yes. How do you know?
I need to go back and have
a meeting with them.
Okay, I'm leaving. You take your time.
Finish your drinks before
you go. It's on me.
Thank you...
Okay, I'm off now.
Alex, keep in touch.
Keep in touch.
Alex!
Why not try to promote
your football championship
with my cousin and her friends?
It's not like I'm promoting PA insurance.
Indeed.
But think about this.
If your company sponsors them as a team,
sign them up for the championship,
and get a PR team to hype it up,
exaggerating their misery,
then your football games
will be packed with spectators.
Are you asking me to sad fish?
I didn't expect such a beautiful
and tall woman like you
to be so unethical.
Joe, are you still working
with such a colleague?
I did talk to her about
it. She's improving.
But she's got a point, Alex.
There are tons of likes.
You liked Joyce's post about the kid
with cancer yesterday, didn't you?
She got hundreds of thousands
of likes a day.
Alex, in this world,
what sells better than sad fishing?
You also wish to show your dad
what you got, don't you? Daddy.
It's "daddy"!
Oh, sorry.
How ignorant!
Daddy?
Yeah, I forgot to tell you about it.
How should I know?
Everyone in the trade knows.
Geez.
Your question inspired me.
What sells better than selling pity?
It's selling dreams!
If my company sponsors your cousin's team,
puts them in my championship,
and gets a PR team to promote it,
highlighting their wish to follow
their dreams against all odds,
A championship like this
will attract a lot of spectators.
Yeah, that's why I always
say Alex can surprise me.
What matters is helping the children
and promoting my championship.
Not surprising you.
True.
So, Alice.
She's Hay Man.
Sharon, let's just forget
about the misunderstanding
we had back there.
It's fine. It's fine.
You help me build this team.
Sure.
And you are the team manager. Make
sure the whole thing looks presentable.
From now on, for the deals of you two,
come straight to me and I'll pay
you double. Is there a problem?
No, of course not.
Of course there's a problem.
You dropped ten marks on last week's test.
If you keep playing football,
you won't have time to study.
If your grades keep dropping,
you'll be expelled from school.
Just let me do this.
It won't cost you anything.
Playing football is already
a waste of our money.
We've spent so much on your education
for a higher degree, lest you
struggle to make a living in the future.
Dad, say something.
Mom.
You shut up.
Anyway, no means no.
No room for negotiation.
If you still want to argue with me,
I'll take away your ball.
And you won't be allowed to play
football even if you finish studying.
Go back to your room and study now.
Three, two...
Still making clothes this late?
Yes, the client needs it tomorrow.
I'll get it done soon and
won't disturb your sleep.
All good.
You have to work during the day
and tailor clothes at night.
Must be really hard being a mother.
I work hard now so
my daughter won't have to in the future.
I don't have high hopes for her.
I just hope she won't turn out
like me and her dad.
I wish she could be like you,
wise and knowledgeable,
wearing nice clothes,
living in a big house,
with no worry about money.
Oh... I mean, before you moved here...
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
What's so good about me?
Actually, I envy Ying so much.
Now, except for making money,
I really can't think of anything else
I like to do.
Sorry.
Oh, Niece, don't be like this.
Don't cry.
You will find what you want to do.
It's not too late to start looking now.
It's too late.
Don't cry. You'll definitely find it.
Auntie,
please don't let Ying end up like me,
with all this regret as a grown-up.
Like Din Viesel says,
Let her try,
or she'll blame you when she grows up.
Hold on,
when did Vin Diesel say...
Auntie!
Why does it sound so much like
the lines in my husband's script?
Yes.
I won't hide it from you.
See for yourself.
This rat! I almost fell for his trick.
I'll kill him when he's back tomorrow.
Read it through first.
He even predicted that
I would figure it out.
"Tsang Fan (inner thoughts)"
All we want is to make Ying happy.
If she likes playing football, let her try.
Honey,
I believe our daughter can kick
her way to a bright future.
We all have to go on our paths.
Just let her try.
Let her try, then.
Welcome, Aspire Football Club!
Can we take whatever we want?
Cool! Cool!
What are you waiting for? Take them all!
Come... Take a shot of this foot...
The toe. You see it?
It's bruised.
Oh, no, it's his skin color.
Wow, this looks great!
I've never played on a grass field.
Hey! What a coincidence!
All my years,
I've never worn a new jersey, new shorts,
and such smart football
shoes at the same time.
But the grass is so slippery and wet.
We have to wear new football shoes.
It's easy to twist our ankles.
New shoes won't be slippery
if they're stepped on.
Come and let me step on them.
OK, attack!
Yay, kids are playing football!
No! I don't want to die!
Why hasn't the coach arrived yet?
He said he had a battery
problem with his vehicle.
But he's fixed it,
so he should be here soon.
Mr. Lip, sorry I'm a bit late.
Sorry, Mr. Lip. I'm so sorry.
Hey, Coach Wu.
Mr. Lip.
Sorry.
Not at all, Coach Wu.
How'd it go? Is the battery okay now?
The battery aging is the most
annoying thing for a power chair.
It's common. It's okay.
Yes, aging is common. My legs are
also starting to feel a bit weak.
But now I can still walk and run...
Let me introduce.
This is our team manager, Hay Man,
and this is our coach, Wu Siu Ho.
Alex Yes.
You mind if we have a word?
You said our coach once
played in First Division?
Yeah. Isn't he cool?
In his wheelchair?
He was on the Hong Kong Team.
During the Asian Games back then,
he helped Hong Kong win the gold medal.
He's the pride of Hong Kong!
But later he...
Forget it. Let's not talk about it.
But don't worry. He holds
a coaching license and has experience.
What matters most is that
his image fits our team.
Perfect!
I think I'm amazing for
being able to find him.
Hey guys,
any problems?
Hay Man had a little problem back there,
but we've resolved it.
There shouldn't be any problem now,
right, Hay Man?
No problem.
No problem.
Vey well, then.
You know, it's getting late.
Why don't we quickly get started? Okay?
Go!
Go!
Don't do me any favors.
I can do it myself.
Okay, okay.
No, it hurts!
Hello little buddies.
My name is Wu Siu Ho.
Starting today,
I will be your football coach.
Chins up...
Greet your coach.
Hi, Coach.
I know you have your games in two weeks.
Time is short.
So we must do our utmost.
As your coach, I share with you
only one goal... to be the champion.
That's it! That's it! Sports Empire!
Mr. Lip. Ms. Fong.
Could you excuse us for a while?
I'm afraid you'll interfere
with their training.
Alex, let's not disturb
Coach Wu's training.
Are you free now? Let's
talk about that deal.
Okay, I'll leave it to you, Coach Wu.
Alright.
Leave it to me, Mr. Lip.
You can go for high tea.
Bye.
Yeah, you can count on me.
Have any of you received proper training?
What about regular training?
Good.
Very good.
Let's
run laps, then. Thirty laps.
OK.
Why "OK"? How can we run thirty laps?
Yeah. I fear I might have a heart attack.
I can't die so young.
Hey, Uncle, are you being for real with us?
Thirty laps?
Why not just say three hundred laps?
The class will be over after that.
Do you know
how many kilometers a professional
football player runs on average per game?
10 to 12 kilometers.
You know a thing or two, kid.
That's right. This running track
is 320 meters long. So thirty laps
is 9,600 meters. That's
not nonsense, is it?
What? Aren't we playing 5-a-side football?
The field is smaller,
and it's not a 90-minute game.
What's your name?
Lun...
Whatever your name is,
I don't want to hear any more excuses.
Are you running or not?
Do you want to win?
If you want to win, just run!
I'll run!
Follow up...
This is the way the Hong Kong Team trains.
Can't believe it actually worked.
Run! Run!
Keep going!
Stick together!
Nice shot.
Shoot it!
Nice shot, Jonathan!
Is this team our opponent in the first
match, the Sunshine Football Club?
Their training is so professional.
Let me do it.
The guy who just shot seems to be
the grandson of Sports Empire's owner.
Oh, crap, Lun. I have a
bad feeling about this.
Same here for this one...
Look, why don't we withdraw?
Hey, OK.
Let's quit the game, OK?
OK.
You're asking him? He always says OK.
OK, let's not quit, OK?
OK.
You see?
Can we really beat them?
Mr. Lip, your championship
is a big success.
It's got a lot of attention and
there are even live streamings.
Sports Empire has always been committed
to promoting football in Hong Kong.
We got children from
underprivileged families this time.
We also hope to send them this message:
Don't be money-orientated. What matters
most is being like us, rich people.
Everyone can work hard to
follow their dreams.
Which team do you think
will win this opening match?
My son Jonathan's football team
is more likely to win,
but I don't want Aspire, the team
my company sponsors, to lose, either.
So, um...
I don't want to take sides
with either of them. Yeah.
Do I need to repeat in Mandarin?
Fat B, don't worry. We won't let anyone
find out you're afraid of balls.
You mean it?
Coach Wu, the opposing team is
discussing tactics. Should we discuss too?
Tactics?
Sure,
let's discuss it. Tactics... of course.
Hey, come and listen to Coach Wu.
As I mentioned...
Okay, time to take the field.
He blew the whistle. The game's starting.
So do you remember?
Anyway, play your hardest
and play a good game,
okay?
Go for it!
We can do it!
Is that all?
Yeah, I've told them everything before.
Huh?
That girl has pretty good footwork.
Don't you already know that?
Goal area!
Alas! Missed it.
Don't worry.
Anyway, just remember to
pass me the ball when you can.
Poor kids tend to be more optimistic.
What are you talking about?
Take it easy. You guys
like to sad fish, right?
I can help you with that.
Coach Wu.
Alam!
Step backStop it
Mr. Lip, young master has won the game.
Good game!
He's on the other side, Boss.
You're amazing, Jonathan!
You know, the game was not bad.
Many people are talking about it,
and they enjoyed it.
Roger, what do you think?
Well, it was...
What about Lisa?
In my opinion,
it was...
Yeah?
Go ahead,
spit it out.
Tell me, say it was "good".
Mr. Lip.
Mr. Lip.
Oh okay.
Just a word! How hard is it to say?
This game was really good.
Wow, it was great.
Just give me something!
Anything is good with me!
Alex.
What's up?
Mr. Lip Senior is back.
So What if Mr. Lip Senior...
Daddy?
Mr. Lip.
Get out.
All of you, get out.
Except you.
Daddy, you're out of the hospital.
I left the football match to you
because I don't want you
doing company stuff.
It's just a simple football game for kids
but you still turned it into a mess.
Well, you can't say it's a mess.
Your brain is...
Take that hat off first.
Do you know why Air Jordans are so popular?
Because Jordan is a great player.
You're sponsoring a team that lost 0-18.
Who's gonna buy our products?
I really thought following dreams
was worth a try. Following dreams?
You're just sad fishing!
Not true!
The one who won 18-0
is your son,
my grandson.
What are people outside saying?
We're spending money on
those poor guys to put on a farce
to let your son show off!
Daddy,
Here, have some water.
Oh my...
From this moment on,
get out of my face and never come back.
I don't want my empire, built with
my own hands, to be ruined by you.
But Daddy, actually I was...
Leave my cane where it was.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I told you not to play football.
If you had just studied like a good girl,
this wouldn't have happened.
She hasn't come out all day.
She will, when she's hungry.
Let's eat.
Honey, what the heck are you doing?
I've thought it through.
Cousin,
I finally get it, "as long as you
don't concede, it won't be a loss".
If I give up now,
I'll always be the one who lost 0-18.
But if I don't, I still have
a chance to win 18-0.
I'm glad you've thought it through.
But you don't have to paint
your face like a clown, right?
I just cried, so my face is a mess.
I don't want to be mocked during training.
Are you still practicing?
Go after you finish eating.
I'm good. Just keep some food for me.
I've already wasted a day.
I'm off to practice now.
I knew you guys would be here.
Hey! We've been waiting for a long time.
You thought we wouldn't know
you cried and messed up your face?
You guys are all the same.
Let's get started.
OK, pass the ball! Pass the ball!
Oh, I'm so tired.
OK,
go get some soda from your grandma.
OK!
That's great!
Come on, come on.
I want a Fanta.
I want a Fanta too.
Oh no!
What's wrong? Come on. What happened?
We've been disqualified from the game.
Huh? Why?
Alex!
Your team can't play anymore.
Just go.
If you don't want us to play,
I'm totally fine with that.
But you can't cancel my deal!
Their game is their game.
My deal is my deal.
They're two separate things.
Yes, two separate things.
Your team is canceled by Daddy.
Your order
was canceled by me.
Alex, we had an agreement.
What did you promise me, then?
You promised me it would look presentable.
Did it turn out presentable?
My daddy said you lost 0-18
and disgraced the company.
I'm not blaming you,
but you insisted on hiring that
lame guy as a coach.
Now the kids have lost. We saw this coming.
Fine. It's my fault,
my fault, all my fault!
Okay?
That's not what I meant,
Alex.
To be frank,
this deal is crucial to me.
Without this deal, I will lose everything.
I have lost everything.
My daddy was right.
I'm really useless.
I always try very, very hard to do
something well just to show him.
But it ends up in vain.
So why don't you just...
So you gotta learn from this world that
some things are predestined.
Something that is not destined for
you will never be yours. Accept it!
What's up? Who am I? Where am I?
Why did you do that to him?
What do you want?
I won't accept it, and neither will you.
Your dad said our team
disgraced the company, right?
Let's prove to him that he's wrong.
People online are boycotting
our products now.
How could my daddy be wrong?
My daddy is never wrong.
Alex, you said selling dreams is
worth a try, so let's sell dreams.
What dream could be
greater than losing 0-18,
making a comeback and then making
it to the next round?
Making a comeback?
What are the chances of that?
My daddy said...
Damn!
Can you stop saying daddy all the time?
Say "dad", with no "-dy", okay?
We both have nothing to lose.
Just trust me. I will definitely
take those kids to the next round.
Then you'll be able to
prove to your dad that
he was wrong, not you.
You're great.
Once we make it,
my deal...
You've inspired me again!
This is like a movie.
A story about us folks
trying very, very hard to make
a comeback and make it.
That's what following dreams is all about.
That's right!
But make sure you make it not only to
the next round, but to the finals.
The finals?
Yes.
Is there a problem?
Rest assured.
As long as you make it to the finals,
I'll pay you triple for your deal!
Deal?
Deal.
Why is the Aspire still here?
Didn't I disqualify them?
I decided to keep them in the games.
You can cancel their sponsorship.
I can stay out of company business, too.
But I organized the championship,
so I will continue with it!
What the?
You want to go against me?
Yes.
You want to bet that this team
will make a comeback
and prove I was wrong to
cancel my sponsorship for them?
Is that right?
Interesting.
Okay.
I'll listen to you.
Really?
Okay, don't worry, Daddy.
This time, it will turn out great.
Yay. Yay. Yay!
I didn't give birth to him.
Cousin!
Cool it!
Stand back.
Look, I've secured
this opportunity for you.
To succeed, you need to look further ahead.
So our goal is very clear.
It's so simple:
To make it to the finals. OK?
OK.
All we want it to lose less
in the next game.
If we keep losing like that...
Screw football,
I won't even have confidence
in myself anymore.
Fat B, don't be so nervous.
You just need to play
at your regular level.
Wait, wait.
We were quite close to
our regular level in the last game.
Let's keep calm and do it step by step.
First, we need to advance
from the group stage.
I've done the math.
We can't lose the next game by any means.
As for the coach,
we'll figure that out later.
And now... let's practice.
Practice what exactly?
Hmm
running.
What?
Again?
No different than that crippled coach then?
That's right!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Hurry up!
Defense!
Tackle her!
One, two, three, four! You four!
Go do 200 push-ups.
200?
Coach, please think about it carefully.
Enough! I already told you
I don't teach kids.
Go find someone else.
Look, honey. It's so neat!
It's supposed to go this way.
There's no difference between teaching
adults and teaching kids!
You never know if it'll work
if you haven't tried. You...
Wow!
It's mine, not yours!
It's not yours!
It's the wrong way up...
It's nice, isn't it?
Wow!
New balls!
Fat B, hurry up.
Fat B, what are you doing?
I'm... scared of the ball.
The only way to overcome fear
is to face it.
Just let me go.
Eat my "Seven Spinning Slash"!
Oh, no!
No!
No!
Ms. Fong,
have a soda.
You are...
I'm OK's granny.
I see. Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I should be thanking you.
OK's father died young,
and his mother left him with me.
The silly boy
is always worried that
I will give up on him,
so he says OK to everything.
You know, at my age now, if I pass away...
Granny, should I call him over?
No... no need.
Sorry for disturbing you.
No, Not at all.
However,
in this society, good people like you
are truly rare.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Think about it.
I haven't been on the field in ages,
let alone teach anyone football.
That's right! Teaching these kids
can remind you of your glory days.
I've talked to so many people.
Just do me this favor, please.
Miss, it also took me a long time
before I got this job.
Please do me a favor and get out of my way.
Hello, Kangaroo Takeout, order 964.
Yeah, right here.
Don't worry, ma'am.
I'm very skilled at driving this.
I don't even need the streetlights
and can go wherever I want to.
Now, give it to me.
Captain?
Oh, what luck!
Hey!
Whoa... what a coincidence!
Long time no see.
Indeed, it's been a while.
Having fixed the game and done time,
you disappeared.
I thought you were dead,
turns out you're just crippled.
Well, it's not much different.
Captain, to be honest,
I really admire your passion for football.
Don't say that.
After you were released,
you got a coaching license.
No one hired you because of your legs,
but you still found a team to coach.
Now everyone in Hong Kong knows those kids!
You're really something!
Just to make a living. How many people
do You have to hurt before You stop?
I've quit.
I'm done with all that.
Got to dash! On time!
Excuse me!
Hey!
Hey!
Actually, the two of you
are doing pretty well.
What's going well for us?
We haven't done anything.
We were under investigation for a year,
just for being on your team.
We couldn't attend
the Premier League training camp,
and our football careers almost ended!
So what do you want?
To buy you a drink.
Ma'am!
I'm sorry, but I guess
you need to redo this.
Or I can pay for it.
$50 short.
$50 short.
Oh, okay. I... I'll...
Can I have it on credit?
You tell me.
I'll pay for him.
I will pay you back.
Alright, let's just do this first...
We'll definitely beat those losers.
18-0.
Hey! Stay focused.
Keep an eye on No. 10, understand?
Aspire Football Club.
Come here.
Guys.
What's our goal today?
To not lose!
Yes!
Come on!
You lost 0-18. Isn't that enough?
Bravo!
Okay!
Why are they keeping the ball
in their own half?
Why are they only kicking around
in their own half?
You want to hold out so
that we won't score goals?
Let's see how long you can hold out.
Everyone, close them down!
Offence of the back-pass rule.
Indirect free kick.
Free kick?
Alright, place the ball.
Yeah!
That scared me!
Pick up the ball.
Wait! Slowly, slowly.
Waste some time.
Slow down.
Right, buy us time.
Where's the ball?
The ball is over here.
Hey!
Foul! Foul!
Go on!
Are you kidding me?
Foul!
We haven't lost yet.
We still have time.
Hey...!
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Are you okay, honey?
Ouch...
Should we call a doctor for a check?
Okay, doctors, come give her a check.
Ying!
Be careful.
Slowly straighten your leg
and bring it over.
Ying.
Is it here?
Bear with it.
Bear with it.
Kid, let me help you out of here.
I'm fine.
Don't worry, Cousin. Even
if Ying can't play,
You gained this opportunity
for us to continue playing.
I promised you we wouldn't lose.
Guys, we can surely catch up, right?
Yeah!
Ying, don't push yourself so hard.
We'll do our best for her.
Five minutes is enough for us to catch up.
Yeah.
Hang in there, honey!
Come on, come on!
Alam!
OK!
Ying, look behind.
Lun, this way.
Again?
Foul.
Alam, come here.
What?
She goes that way.Oh, crap.
Mom, what are they doing?
Yes!
Yes!
We won!
You guys are so great!
Yeah!
Siri.
Yes, Mr. Lip.
Run a background check for
the leader of Aspire Football Club.
Copy.
That fatso did pretty well.
Who is it?
It's just $50. Do you need to
come here for it?
I'm not here for the money.
No.
Always be clear about money matters.
We're even after I pay you back.
This note alone is worth more than $50.
Come back and teach them.
What's to teach?
There are only a few weeks to go.
And I'm not a fairy.
It was just good luck
that the last game ended in a draw.
It wasn't good luck,
but your successful tactics.
Did you see how hard they fought?
They have no fundamentals whatsoever.
How can I help them?
Ms. Fong, football isn't
as simple as you think.
Do you think all winning takes is genius?
To be honest, you haven't
even taught them seriously.
How do you know they can't make it?
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Anyway, I have nothing
to do with football anymore.
If you could let it go,
you wouldn't have come back to help them.
Ying tried so hard that day.
Isn't she like the old you?
I studied your game against Japan.
You were really good.
Whoa, Ms. Fong,
why are you so nosy?
Okay, you said you saw
my game against Japan.
Did you see the game I fixed?
I know I'm a jerk.
But you shouldn't act like some
good person or a social worker either.
Would you help them if you
didn't benefit from it?
If we put it that way,
you're even more of a jerk than I am.
My point is,
just let these kids have fun
and muddle through it.
Don't give them false hope, okay?
Hey, where are the boys?
Call them.
Oh, crap, crap, crap!
Alam is quitting!
Alam.
Why are you quitting all of a sudden?
Don't you want to play football anymore?
I want to, but my mom won't let me.
Is this your mom?
Hello. I...
Alam,
tell your mom for me.
Our team really needs you.
I hope she'll let you keep playing.
Say it.
Mom, she said, the team really needs me.
She hopes you'll let me keep playing.
Tell her "no, thanks".
Sorry, I didn't know you spoke Cantonese.
It's okay. I'm used to it.
But I won't let my son
waste his time on football.
How is football a waste of time?
Alam is so good at it and loves it so much.
Perhaps he'll become a footballer one day.
We're different.
You can talk about dreams and aspirations.
I just want to make money.
Please move aside.
Taking out the trash is a dirty job.
You don't want to get dirty.
Thanks.
Go on. I can take it from here.
Hi.
You again? I told you
I won't let my son play football anymore.
With an extra pair of hands,
you'll finish up earlier.
(Low battery.)
(Low battery.)
Hey!
Training is back on tomorrow.
Alam's mom's letting him play.
We'll talk later. Bye.
(Low battery.).
Do you need help?
No!
(Low battery.)
I'll do it myself.
How much longer until
you're done recharging?
If you're busy, you can go.
You don't have to wait.
I'd rather not.
What if you fall and no one helps you?
What are you reading?
Why?
Are you playing 11-a-side games now?
I just couldn't get a 5-a-side one.
I'm making do!
Do you have to do so much as
the team manager?
Learning tactics and helping
them take out the trash?
Do you really want to help them that much?
Helping them and helping myself.
Why not both?
Why don't you come help me as well?
Come and teach those kids.
Better than being
Goblin mode all your life.
Okay... You don't need to preach here.
Haven't you heard this?
If I can lie flat, why must I move?
Look! You've heard it before.
It's not like I haven't tried.
Do you really think I didn't know that
fixing a match might ruin my life?
But if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have
been able to pay for my father's funeral.
I knew I wouldn't be able to
play football after I got out of jail.
So I struggled to get a coaching license.
But everyone knows what happened.
No one from the HKPL, First, Second,
or Third Division wants to hire me.
Even those extracurricular classes in
schools won't hire me to teach children.
I looked for opportunities elsewhere.
After searching for three years,
I finally found a youth team in East Timor.
They wanted to hire me,
so I went there.
Then what?
Boom!
A whole car
crashes onto a sidewalk.
So now Providence has turned its back on me
and wants me finished.
If he had wanted you finished,
you wouldn't have met those kids.
Maybe he thought I wasn't fully done,
so he made me hurt a few more people.
You believe in Providence, right?
Okay.
Since you believe in Providence,
let's flip a coin.
Heads, you come back to coach. Tails,
you go home and sleep. Okay?
I refuse.
Heads or tails?
No... wait a minute.
Reverse them.
Tails!
Tails, right?
Tails! Tails!
One, two.
Hey! Wait! Wait!
Make it heads. Heads!
Heads, right?
Heads! Heads, I'll teach them!
Heads, right?
Come on!
One, two, three!
So where does that leave us?
Just count it as heads.
That's crazy! How can you do that?
This one doesn't count!
Take it as tails, then.
Look, you're quite funny.
(Battery is full.
Please remove the charger.)
Once you've recharged
your battery where are you going?
Make your own choice.
Ms. Fong.
Give me a hand.
I can't reach that.
Put it away.
To advance to the quarter-finals,
we can't just defend.
We gotta win the next three games.
But we only have that one move with Fat B,
so our opponents must be prepared.
That's right!
With only one move, how can you win?
Everyone,
I did slack off on you before.
I'm sorry for that.
The reason you tied in the last game
wasn't because of my tactics.
It was because of every one of you.
Give me a chance
and I'll take you to the finals.
The finals?
Coach Cripple, are you thinking less of us?
Didn't you say we had only one goal?
Guys, what is our goal?
To be champions together! Yeah!
One, two, one, two!
So you cut in behind them here...
That's when you give a through pass...
Faster!
Kick the ball at this spot
with the outside of your foot,
aiming at where you want to shoot.
Hey, two legs
There's a football term called
the "KISS" tactic.
Keep it simple stupid.
Granny,
I found OK's mom.
After we win this game,
we'll make it to the finals together.
You got any confidence?
Yes!
Go! Go! Go!
Okay. It's fine
This way
Alam, there's a free spot!
Get to the spot!
We did it!
Daddy?
How do you feel?
Does it hurt to be wrong?
Now that Aspire has made it into
the finals to confront Sunshine,
it's like a flashback of the opening match.
Everyone online supports them,
which means that my decision
to keep them playing
was right,
while your cancellation of
their sponsorship was wrong.
What era is this?
Who still cares about right or wrong?
Whoever has the power is right.
Those without power
are always wrong.
If you don't believe it,
ask the staff outside.
Who dares to say I'm wrong?
How do you want Aspire to lose?
Why would I want them to lose?
If they don't lose,
how will your son win?
Football is either winning or losing.
You know, I've always wondered
what I did wrong
to make you turn out this way.
It didn't strike me
until I was in the hospital recently.
Do you remember when you were 10,
and joined your first junior
table tennis competition?
In the first round,
you drew a player far worse than you,
but you still lost.
0-21.
0-21!
I was so disgraced
and embarrassed.
So I stopped watching and walked
out by the second round.
That incident changed everything.
After that, you kept losing
and making mistakes.
Son,
perhaps you were right.
I shouldn't have walked away.
I should have found a way to make you win.
I won't make
the same mistake twice.
You don't want your son
to lose and end up like you, do you?
That's not negotiable.
Ms. Fong.
Andy, hello.
Sorry this took so long.
Sign here, and all of your debts
will officially be settled.
Okay.
So did you cancel the bank's
auction of my house?
Because I wanted to discuss
that mortgage as well.
The auction was canceled,
but we've already sold your house.
What?
Wait,
we had an agreement.
I pay off my debt, you cancel the auction,
and then I restart my mortgage.
Yes, but the buyer is a friend of
our bank's regional CEO for Asia.
Sorry.
Who is the buyer?
Sorry, I have no idea.
I'll submit the documents first.
Sister,
I found the buyer.
He also said he wanted to meet you.
Ms. Fong, please.
Mr. Lip.
Ms. Fong.
Please sit down.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I haven't thanked you yet.
Thank you for allowing those kids
to make it to the finals.
From the very beginning,
you convinced my son to go against me.
It sounded interesting to me.
I wasn't mistaken about you.
You really managed to
get them to the finals.
That was all thanks to their own efforts.
You're a smart girl.
You should know why
I asked you to come here.
Certainly because you don't want
Aspire to beat your grandson.
But Mr. Lip, you're famous
for never doing a bad deal.
I doubt you would trade a house for that.
Continue.
What you worry about most is handing
your company over to Alex.
So, if I'm not mistaken,
you want me to be an assistant to Alex,
help him run your company
for your grandson to take over.
The doctor said that I ruined my health
through overwork when I was young.
My heart is the cost!
I won't be able to manage this company
for much longer.
When I retire,
you will be the natural choice for COO.
Who's gonna look down on you then?
If you think highly of me,
you can hire me directly.
You don't have to make the kids lose.
Don't tell me you can't even
let go of those kids!
You have such a clear vision,
yet you're still bargaining with me?
Anyway, you still haven't
answered my question.
Why did I ask you to come here today?
Humans are pretty extraordinary.
No matter if their environment
gets better or worse,
they can always adapt
and get used to it easily.
I asked you to come back here today
because I don't want you to
get used to losing
and forget what winning feels like.
Birds of a feather flock together.
How hard did you worked
before you got here?
You must know this, right?
You don't have to answer now.
Go back and think it over carefully.
But I don't want to see you and those kids
at the final on Saturday.
Hi, Ying.
Oh, crap, Cousin! Come to the rooftop now!
Rooftop? Rooftop? What happened?
Surprise!
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to Hay Man!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
Happy birthday!
Cousin, we know you want your house back.
We can't give you a real one.
Take this cake for now.
Thank you.
And, Cousin, this is for you!
Isn't it beautiful?
We worked on it all night!
I told you she wouldn't like it!
You should have listened to me and
painted some brand logos on it!
Not at all.
It's beautiful. Thank you.
That's fine if you say so.
It's our uniform on the day of the final.
You can't refuse it then.
Yeah!
What did Lip Man Yin say to you?
What else could it be?
What do you think?
I understand.
The revolutionary spirit must feel good.
But such an opportunity won't arise again.
Oh, I shouldn't push you.
It's your birthday.
Happy birthday.
Anyway, thank you.
Not OK! Not OK!
I'm not leaving and that's that!
OK!
Granny,
what's going on?
I got a text from his mother today.
She convinced her husband to take in OK.
She asked me to take OK to
Guangzhou Airport to join them on Saturday.
They're moving to Vietnam and
won't be coming back.
Hey, wait, Saturday?
So it means our final will be a bust?
Yes.
OK,
what's bothering you?
Confide in me, okay?
Please tell Grandma
that I don't want to go.
I know you don't want
to leave your grandma.
Your grandma doesn't want
you to leave either.
But she is old,
so she's worried she
can't take care of you.
I can take care of myself.
I don't want to leave Grandma,
leaving her alone with
no one to take care of her...
We can help you look after
her and take care of her.
When you grow up, you can
come back here to look after her.
OK, you've always been a good boy.
You don't want your grandma
to worry about you,
do you?
But the final...
Don't worry.
They will all understand.
Sorry... Sorry!
Wait! Don't go! Wait!
Please! Open the door!
What's the matter, ma'am?
Why is there no one here?
Isn't this bus going to Guangzhou?
It's going back for maintenance.
The one to Guangzhou left ages ago.
OK!
OK!
Hay Man, why are you here?
OK, do you want to complete the final?
I really want to, Grandma. Can I?
Granny, after the game,
I'll take OK to Vietnam myself.
OK!
OK? OK!
Thank you, Grandma!
Oh no, we're almost late!
The game is about to start.
Why aren't they here yet?
Must be afraid of losing,
so they don't dare to come.
Faster!
Go!
Wait up, wait up!
Register, register!
Aspire Football Club.
Okay, okay.
Come on! Let's warm up!
Warm up!
Come on, honey!
Lun, keep it up!
Jonathan!
Listen,
it doesn't matter if you win or lose.
I will buy you a Lamborghini anyway...
Don't worry, Daddy. I've never lost before.
I won't lose today, either.
Come back, Jonathan.
I'll go.
Stay tuned for my show.
Daddy loves you!
Mr. Lip.
I'm very disappointed.
However,
you have always chosen your own path.
I used to take too many shortcuts.
This time, I want to take the main road.
Aren't I the main road?
What's she talking about?
Good luck!
Afraid to attack?
I thought you had made some progress.
Lun, the ball.
Alam.
Why are they so far back?
Surely they're not scared?
They're all in the wrong positions.
Go, go!
Shoot!
Huh?
The legendary "Breakaway Square Pass"!
Ying!
Don't be afraid of them!
Just shoot when you get the chance!
Play your own game!
Don't get flustered!
Break through! Break through!
They're all out of it.
Something seems wrong.
Let's go, boys!
Coach Wu,
shall we...
Time out.
Referee,
Aspire requests a time-out.
Aspire has requested a time-out.
Come here.
It's okay, it's okay.
Just one goal behind.
We can surely catch up, right?
Let's hear what Coach Wu has to say.
Why were you fixing the game?
Do you know what you're doing?
Do you want to end up like me,
unable to play football forever?
Answer me!
Did Lip Man Yin promise you something?
Don't you remember how hard
you worked to get here?
Have you forgotten your goal?
Ying?
Actually, we don't care
if we win the championship.
We just want to help you out this once.
During warm-ups,
Mr. Lip Junior spoke to us.
He said that
if we agreed to lose,
he would hire you to work at his company.
He said he would offer a very high pay and
that you could move back to your house.
Originally, he wanted us
to lose by four goals,
but we didn't want you to lose face,
so we only agreed to lose by one goal.
It's all my fault for losing
that last point. I'm sorry.
We had nothing to begin with.
If you hadn't helped us,
we wouldn't have even
made it to the finals.
If we lose and then you win,
we're really happy to lose.
Do you know that game fixing won't help me?
If I wanted to take shortcuts,
I wouldn't have come all this way with you.
Look at everyone in the stands.
A few months ago,
they all looked down on you.
Those who said they supported you
were just pitying you
or using you, including me.
Following dreams in adversity
was merely a slogan to me.
But over the past few months,
with your perseverance and effort,
you have shown me
you are the ones who deserve
the most respect here.
Do you want to help me?
Don't play this game for me,
but for yourselves.
Show everyone with your strength that
you don't need anyone's pity.
Go out there, and win back
the respect you deserve.
Okay, both teams come back to the field.
Listen,
remember what football has given you guys.
Do you remember?
Yes!
Good! Let's go!
Good luck!
Ying!
Hey! What's up?
Defend!
Fat B, come up! Block them!
Huh?
I'm sure to win,
but fairly and squarely.
Attack!
Hey, come on!
Go!
Go!
Come on!
Jonathan, what are you doing?
What is he up to?
Did you buy off those kids?
I don't want Jonathan to be like me.
You've never done anything
right all your life.
But fortunately, you have a smart kid.
Don't worry. He'll outmatch you and me.
The competition officially begins.
Counterattack! Counterattack!
Keep going! Keep your rhythm!
Come and have some water.
Alam, can you get mine too?
Towel.
Water...
Thanks, OK!
Do you remember when you lost 0-18?
But now,
you can tie the game and
go to a penalty shoot-out.
You have done more than enough.
So when you go out,
just remember two words:
Enjoy it.
Remember why you have come here?
Whatever the result may be,
the most important thing is
we win together and we lose together.
It's your fault. Why so much force?
Go get it back.
Huh?
Me?
I have a bad feeling about this.
You always have a bad feeling, don't you?
Go ahead.
OK, come with me.
Me?
Oh, ok.
Hey, ma'am. That's our ball.
Thank you.
Wait.
You guys smashed my phone.
Pay for it.
Pay for what?
We just kicked the ball onto your head.
Then you dropped the phone yourself.
Okay, just stop it.
Call your parents and then we'll talk.
Ma'am, do you know who our parents are?
No. Should I?
So you don't know them, huh?
Great.
Let's go!
Hey!
It's scratched.
Didn't mean to hurt you. Sorry.
Hey, you little brat.
Is Fong Hay Man here?
What's up?
You got two suitcases to
sign for. Thank you.
Your cousin's daughter is such a show-off.
It's just two suitcases.
Why did she use a courier?
The shipping fee is on you, sir.
Collect on delivery.
So she's not a show-off.
Fortunately, you always help others,
so you pay for her.
How much is it?
US$140.00.
Okay. Thanks.
Done. Thank you. Bye.
What kind of niece is that?
You haven't met up in decades and
she suddenly asks to move in.
Our home isn't big enough.
She's moving from the affluent
Deep Water Bay, to this slum.
Poor her.
I've never lived in Deep Water Bay.
Aren't I worse off?
Well, she's all alone in Hong Kong.
Like Vin Diesel says,
We are family.
Family, my ass!
If I hadn't been pregnant with Ying,
I wouldn't have married you.
You write screenplays all day,
while all she knows is football.
You two just like to daydream.
So that proves you didn't cheat on me.
She's truly my daughter, isn't she?
You wanna get beat up?
Fold all the clothes.
Yes, madam.
Hey! Hurry up.
You thought I wouldn't
know if you came back?
Shut up. I'll deal with you later.
Are you done with your homework?
Were you playing football again?
Nope.
I just... I went to study.
With a ball in your hands?
She's like Captain Tsubasa.
The ball is her friend.
It's natural that she studies
with her friend, isn't it?
Hello.
Hey, niece. Come.
My wife and my daughter.
Hi, Uncle. Hi, Auntie.
Hello, hello.
Excuse me.
Have my suitcases arrived?
Yes.
Thank you.
Greet your cousin.
Hello, cousin.
You must be my cousin.
What a big smile!
Must be a good friend of yours.
Auntie...
Cousin! I'm so happy to
share my room with you.
Come on, let's take a look at my room.
I'll take care of my cousin.
What's with your daughter?
Cousin, please.
Please don't tell my mom
I was playing football and
broke your phone today,
or I'll be banned from football forever.
Oh, no...
I'll put this away.
This bed is for you.
Sit down...
Huh? The screen seems to be broken.
Shall I take it to Apliu Street for a fix?
Wait, cousin.
How about we swap our phones?
They only bought me that
after I got accepted
into a good secondary school.
To pay my tuition,
Mom has to work at the
nursing home in the morning
and tailor people's clothes at night.
Okay, okay.
Buy me a new one when
you have enough saved up.
Sure thing. Thank you, cousin.
Cousin, where are you going?
I need to use the bathroom.
Good morning.
Hello, your coffee.
Who is it?
A pretty woman,
she says she knows you and wants to talk.
A pretty woman? How lovely!
Yes, it is.
Hey, smile.
Hello, welcome to Big Shot Investment.
You can call me...
Hello, Joe.
Hi, Ms. Hay Man.
It's been a while. Take a seat.
Here. Have some coffee.
Thank you.
How are things?
How can I help you?
Nothing much.
I haven't worked in a long time.
I'm a bit bored.
So I want to work again for fun.
You're doing fine now.
Let's see if there's a chance
for us to work together...
The other day, I was driving
a rich woman to get her nails done
and passed by No. 7 Deep Water Bay Drive
only to find it's been foreclosed.
Debbie? What's the deal?
You said the foreigner who created
the crypto was your friend.
You said it would appreciate
many times over.
You bet everything you had and told me
to do so because we were best friends.
I did it, too. And I lost everything.
But after that, my dad got me out of debt.
You investing everything
was your own doing.
Should I make up your loss?
Go back to your own class.
Bye.
You freaking bitch!
Sister.
You want to work again for fun,
but don't make fun of me.
You were somewhat my mentor.
How could I lead you?
One more thing.
I don't want you to push yourself so much
that you have to see a psychiatrist again.
If I hadn't pushed you so hard before,
you wouldn't have achieved
all that you have today.
Indeed.
I really want to help you.
However, you've filed for bankruptcy
and are unable to renew your
professional license.
As long as you want to help me.
I have a deal with the bank.
I sold all my stuff,
and they gave me three months.
If I can pay off my debts
within three months,
not only will I not have to go bankrupt,
I can also keep my house and
restart my mortgage from scratch.
So I'm not interested in
small deals anymore.
If I can close a big deal,
you'll earn a nice commission, right?
Is it really that great to
live in Deep Water Bay?
You've worked so hard
just for the money.
Do you remember
why I hired you in the first place?
Yes.
You said a person who is dying of hunger
will fight the hardest.
Hey. Leave it.
I've had a sip.
Hey, Bella,
go downstairs and buy me an Oat Milk Latte,
double shot.
Yeah. Okay.
Just so you know,
there's no private room for you here.
Thank you.
All right.
You're done here. Go out, Fong Hay Man.
Tsang Chi Ying.
Stop watching that!
Hit the sack now!
If you're late for school tomorrow,
you can forget about football forever.
Do you hear me?
Good night, cousin.
Good night.
Cousin, are you asleep?
Yes.
What is it?
Nothing. I just have a question.
Dad said you lost everything overnight.
Why do you seem like nothing ever happened?
Cousin,
even if you are destined to lose,
as long as you don't concede,
it won't be a loss.
A win is a win. A loss is a loss.
How can you not concede?
You wouldn't understand. Go to sleep.
Senior, I'm here for the training.
I'm here to play football.
Maybe after you've put on
some decent cleats.
Go away.
Come over and show me how
you do keepy-uppies.
Yes.
Don't say I never have your back.
These are all big deals here.
It's just that every deal has some
issues that need to be resolved.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Alex Lip, the son of the
owner of Sports Empire.
His father was hospitalized for a while.
He thought his father would hand
over the company to him for sure.
But his father didn't,
and told him to organize
a U-12 football championship instead.
Clearly, he's testing him.
He's teasing him, right?
How many people even watch
football in Hong Kong?
Especially for U-12 kids?
His father's not to blame.
It's widely known that this
son fails at everything he does.
His only success was
being born into that family.
Check this.
Wow!
OH MY GOD!
Joyce?
Where's Joyce?
Yes? I'm here.
Hey!
Your Instagram post yesterday
got over 100,000 likes.
How did come up with visiting children
with cancer? How despicable!
And so smart!
And look,
this kid really looks the part.
Even got his head shaved.
How much did you spend?
That's my brother.
I'm sorry.
Same dad but different moms,
so we're not that close.
Since I had to visit him,
I posted about it while I was there.
What a surprise!
So many people DMed
me. They're really kind.
That's how I closed two deals.
Genius!
Let's give Joyce a big hand.
Come on!
That's commendable. Keep up the good work.
Now get back to work.
Sis, does anyone in
your family have cancer?
It's okay. Anyone stuck in the ICU?
Forget I asked.
Hey, cousin.
Huh?
You injured?
In the ICU?
How despicable!
Thought you said it was serious.
I don't think so.
Huh?
Isn't it serious?
Got into a fight while playing football?
No wonder your mom doesn't allow it.
I didn't fight. I just got beaten up.
He clearly looked down
on me for being poor.
Well, the poor are inevitably
looked down upon.
Are the rich really that great?
Not necessarily.
But at least the rich
can do whatever they want to do.
I just want to play football.
At least I can play football every day.
Yo, Tsang Chi Ying!
Hey! You guys again?
Oh, isn't she that auntie the other day?
Ying, did you sell us out?
What do you mean?
This is my cousin. She's kind.
Greet her.
Hi, Auntie.
Hello, hello.
Just kidding, pretty lady.
Let's play some football. It's fun.
No, thanks. You guys go
on without me. I'm off.
Let's go on, then.
Come on, let's do it.
Cousin.
Thank you.
(Voices of playing football)
Sister.
I thought about it all night.
Sadfishing seems a bit outrageous.
But you know, some things only work
because they're outrageous.
But what if he's the self-righteous type?
Then we'll lose this big deal forever.
So we gotta make sure he feels like
it is his own idea.
But I think, with his intelligence,
it's a bit difficult.
Take a chance. I don't have much time.
Hey, Alex.
Hey Joe.
What a coincidence!
Let me introduce you to my new colleague,
Hay Man. This is Alex.
Hello...
So you...
Sit down.
We're not bothering you, are we?
No. Sit down. Want something to drink?
I'd like to... Why not try
the signature drink here? It's really good.
Cool...
Make that two.
Are you here alone?
Yeah. Just thinking about things.
Still bothered by the
football championship?
Maybe a little.
Promoting football in Hong Kong
is really tough.
No wonder my daddy entrusted
this mission to me.
That's because you're smart!
Excuse me.
Another phone number starting with 3.
There's been a lot of them lately.
Yeah. Could be scam calls.
If I'm not mistaken,
you're quite into football.
I see you have a football phone case
and a football-themed ringtone.
Oh!
You're half right!
My cousin is really into football.
She switched phones with me for fun.
Oh, there are a lot of videos of her
playing football with her friends on it.
Let's take a look.
Yeah. Show us.
They play pretty well.
What a lively bunch of kids, huh?
They really want to play a
proper football game.
But sadly, their families are so poor that
they can't even afford the entry fee.
Wait. Oh,
those are white canvas shoes.
But she drew boots on them.
How did you even notice that, Alex?
Look, they're still playing even though
the ball's deflated.
Joe,
don't you always say that
our children's PA insurance
hasn't made much of
a splash despite all the publicity?
Yes.
Ask my cousin and her
football friends to promote it.
It'll definitely work.
That's true! It's worth a try!
You know, when people see these poor
kids following their football dreams,
even if they're not helping with money,
they'll like and share the posts at least.
Yeah.
Alex, what do you think?
You've got a sensitive
marketing sense, Alex.
Do you think it's worth a try?
Sensitive?
Not really.
But I can think about it. Well, I got it.
Already?
You can just make them
join a football match.
Accidents are bound to happen
in a game of football.
And then you capture their
unwanted injuries,
like broken legs or bleeding.
Then you can sell your PA insurance.
That's why I always say Alex is a genius.
Alex.
You put a lot of money in my pocket.
So you know why I'm rich.
What matters is your input,
which has inspired me.
That's why I always say,
if my marketing staff were
as good as you guys
able to think outside the box...
Hey?
Have you thought of something?
Something related to
your football championship this time?
Yes. How do you know?
I need to go back and have
a meeting with them.
Okay, I'm leaving. You take your time.
Finish your drinks before
you go. It's on me.
Thank you...
Okay, I'm off now.
Alex, keep in touch.
Keep in touch.
Alex!
Why not try to promote
your football championship
with my cousin and her friends?
It's not like I'm promoting PA insurance.
Indeed.
But think about this.
If your company sponsors them as a team,
sign them up for the championship,
and get a PR team to hype it up,
exaggerating their misery,
then your football games
will be packed with spectators.
Are you asking me to sad fish?
I didn't expect such a beautiful
and tall woman like you
to be so unethical.
Joe, are you still working
with such a colleague?
I did talk to her about
it. She's improving.
But she's got a point, Alex.
There are tons of likes.
You liked Joyce's post about the kid
with cancer yesterday, didn't you?
She got hundreds of thousands
of likes a day.
Alex, in this world,
what sells better than sad fishing?
You also wish to show your dad
what you got, don't you? Daddy.
It's "daddy"!
Oh, sorry.
How ignorant!
Daddy?
Yeah, I forgot to tell you about it.
How should I know?
Everyone in the trade knows.
Geez.
Your question inspired me.
What sells better than selling pity?
It's selling dreams!
If my company sponsors your cousin's team,
puts them in my championship,
and gets a PR team to promote it,
highlighting their wish to follow
their dreams against all odds,
A championship like this
will attract a lot of spectators.
Yeah, that's why I always
say Alex can surprise me.
What matters is helping the children
and promoting my championship.
Not surprising you.
True.
So, Alice.
She's Hay Man.
Sharon, let's just forget
about the misunderstanding
we had back there.
It's fine. It's fine.
You help me build this team.
Sure.
And you are the team manager. Make
sure the whole thing looks presentable.
From now on, for the deals of you two,
come straight to me and I'll pay
you double. Is there a problem?
No, of course not.
Of course there's a problem.
You dropped ten marks on last week's test.
If you keep playing football,
you won't have time to study.
If your grades keep dropping,
you'll be expelled from school.
Just let me do this.
It won't cost you anything.
Playing football is already
a waste of our money.
We've spent so much on your education
for a higher degree, lest you
struggle to make a living in the future.
Dad, say something.
Mom.
You shut up.
Anyway, no means no.
No room for negotiation.
If you still want to argue with me,
I'll take away your ball.
And you won't be allowed to play
football even if you finish studying.
Go back to your room and study now.
Three, two...
Still making clothes this late?
Yes, the client needs it tomorrow.
I'll get it done soon and
won't disturb your sleep.
All good.
You have to work during the day
and tailor clothes at night.
Must be really hard being a mother.
I work hard now so
my daughter won't have to in the future.
I don't have high hopes for her.
I just hope she won't turn out
like me and her dad.
I wish she could be like you,
wise and knowledgeable,
wearing nice clothes,
living in a big house,
with no worry about money.
Oh... I mean, before you moved here...
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
What's so good about me?
Actually, I envy Ying so much.
Now, except for making money,
I really can't think of anything else
I like to do.
Sorry.
Oh, Niece, don't be like this.
Don't cry.
You will find what you want to do.
It's not too late to start looking now.
It's too late.
Don't cry. You'll definitely find it.
Auntie,
please don't let Ying end up like me,
with all this regret as a grown-up.
Like Din Viesel says,
Let her try,
or she'll blame you when she grows up.
Hold on,
when did Vin Diesel say...
Auntie!
Why does it sound so much like
the lines in my husband's script?
Yes.
I won't hide it from you.
See for yourself.
This rat! I almost fell for his trick.
I'll kill him when he's back tomorrow.
Read it through first.
He even predicted that
I would figure it out.
"Tsang Fan (inner thoughts)"
All we want is to make Ying happy.
If she likes playing football, let her try.
Honey,
I believe our daughter can kick
her way to a bright future.
We all have to go on our paths.
Just let her try.
Let her try, then.
Welcome, Aspire Football Club!
Can we take whatever we want?
Cool! Cool!
What are you waiting for? Take them all!
Come... Take a shot of this foot...
The toe. You see it?
It's bruised.
Oh, no, it's his skin color.
Wow, this looks great!
I've never played on a grass field.
Hey! What a coincidence!
All my years,
I've never worn a new jersey, new shorts,
and such smart football
shoes at the same time.
But the grass is so slippery and wet.
We have to wear new football shoes.
It's easy to twist our ankles.
New shoes won't be slippery
if they're stepped on.
Come and let me step on them.
OK, attack!
Yay, kids are playing football!
No! I don't want to die!
Why hasn't the coach arrived yet?
He said he had a battery
problem with his vehicle.
But he's fixed it,
so he should be here soon.
Mr. Lip, sorry I'm a bit late.
Sorry, Mr. Lip. I'm so sorry.
Hey, Coach Wu.
Mr. Lip.
Sorry.
Not at all, Coach Wu.
How'd it go? Is the battery okay now?
The battery aging is the most
annoying thing for a power chair.
It's common. It's okay.
Yes, aging is common. My legs are
also starting to feel a bit weak.
But now I can still walk and run...
Let me introduce.
This is our team manager, Hay Man,
and this is our coach, Wu Siu Ho.
Alex Yes.
You mind if we have a word?
You said our coach once
played in First Division?
Yeah. Isn't he cool?
In his wheelchair?
He was on the Hong Kong Team.
During the Asian Games back then,
he helped Hong Kong win the gold medal.
He's the pride of Hong Kong!
But later he...
Forget it. Let's not talk about it.
But don't worry. He holds
a coaching license and has experience.
What matters most is that
his image fits our team.
Perfect!
I think I'm amazing for
being able to find him.
Hey guys,
any problems?
Hay Man had a little problem back there,
but we've resolved it.
There shouldn't be any problem now,
right, Hay Man?
No problem.
No problem.
Vey well, then.
You know, it's getting late.
Why don't we quickly get started? Okay?
Go!
Go!
Don't do me any favors.
I can do it myself.
Okay, okay.
No, it hurts!
Hello little buddies.
My name is Wu Siu Ho.
Starting today,
I will be your football coach.
Chins up...
Greet your coach.
Hi, Coach.
I know you have your games in two weeks.
Time is short.
So we must do our utmost.
As your coach, I share with you
only one goal... to be the champion.
That's it! That's it! Sports Empire!
Mr. Lip. Ms. Fong.
Could you excuse us for a while?
I'm afraid you'll interfere
with their training.
Alex, let's not disturb
Coach Wu's training.
Are you free now? Let's
talk about that deal.
Okay, I'll leave it to you, Coach Wu.
Alright.
Leave it to me, Mr. Lip.
You can go for high tea.
Bye.
Yeah, you can count on me.
Have any of you received proper training?
What about regular training?
Good.
Very good.
Let's
run laps, then. Thirty laps.
OK.
Why "OK"? How can we run thirty laps?
Yeah. I fear I might have a heart attack.
I can't die so young.
Hey, Uncle, are you being for real with us?
Thirty laps?
Why not just say three hundred laps?
The class will be over after that.
Do you know
how many kilometers a professional
football player runs on average per game?
10 to 12 kilometers.
You know a thing or two, kid.
That's right. This running track
is 320 meters long. So thirty laps
is 9,600 meters. That's
not nonsense, is it?
What? Aren't we playing 5-a-side football?
The field is smaller,
and it's not a 90-minute game.
What's your name?
Lun...
Whatever your name is,
I don't want to hear any more excuses.
Are you running or not?
Do you want to win?
If you want to win, just run!
I'll run!
Follow up...
This is the way the Hong Kong Team trains.
Can't believe it actually worked.
Run! Run!
Keep going!
Stick together!
Nice shot.
Shoot it!
Nice shot, Jonathan!
Is this team our opponent in the first
match, the Sunshine Football Club?
Their training is so professional.
Let me do it.
The guy who just shot seems to be
the grandson of Sports Empire's owner.
Oh, crap, Lun. I have a
bad feeling about this.
Same here for this one...
Look, why don't we withdraw?
Hey, OK.
Let's quit the game, OK?
OK.
You're asking him? He always says OK.
OK, let's not quit, OK?
OK.
You see?
Can we really beat them?
Mr. Lip, your championship
is a big success.
It's got a lot of attention and
there are even live streamings.
Sports Empire has always been committed
to promoting football in Hong Kong.
We got children from
underprivileged families this time.
We also hope to send them this message:
Don't be money-orientated. What matters
most is being like us, rich people.
Everyone can work hard to
follow their dreams.
Which team do you think
will win this opening match?
My son Jonathan's football team
is more likely to win,
but I don't want Aspire, the team
my company sponsors, to lose, either.
So, um...
I don't want to take sides
with either of them. Yeah.
Do I need to repeat in Mandarin?
Fat B, don't worry. We won't let anyone
find out you're afraid of balls.
You mean it?
Coach Wu, the opposing team is
discussing tactics. Should we discuss too?
Tactics?
Sure,
let's discuss it. Tactics... of course.
Hey, come and listen to Coach Wu.
As I mentioned...
Okay, time to take the field.
He blew the whistle. The game's starting.
So do you remember?
Anyway, play your hardest
and play a good game,
okay?
Go for it!
We can do it!
Is that all?
Yeah, I've told them everything before.
Huh?
That girl has pretty good footwork.
Don't you already know that?
Goal area!
Alas! Missed it.
Don't worry.
Anyway, just remember to
pass me the ball when you can.
Poor kids tend to be more optimistic.
What are you talking about?
Take it easy. You guys
like to sad fish, right?
I can help you with that.
Coach Wu.
Alam!
Step backStop it
Mr. Lip, young master has won the game.
Good game!
He's on the other side, Boss.
You're amazing, Jonathan!
You know, the game was not bad.
Many people are talking about it,
and they enjoyed it.
Roger, what do you think?
Well, it was...
What about Lisa?
In my opinion,
it was...
Yeah?
Go ahead,
spit it out.
Tell me, say it was "good".
Mr. Lip.
Mr. Lip.
Oh okay.
Just a word! How hard is it to say?
This game was really good.
Wow, it was great.
Just give me something!
Anything is good with me!
Alex.
What's up?
Mr. Lip Senior is back.
So What if Mr. Lip Senior...
Daddy?
Mr. Lip.
Get out.
All of you, get out.
Except you.
Daddy, you're out of the hospital.
I left the football match to you
because I don't want you
doing company stuff.
It's just a simple football game for kids
but you still turned it into a mess.
Well, you can't say it's a mess.
Your brain is...
Take that hat off first.
Do you know why Air Jordans are so popular?
Because Jordan is a great player.
You're sponsoring a team that lost 0-18.
Who's gonna buy our products?
I really thought following dreams
was worth a try. Following dreams?
You're just sad fishing!
Not true!
The one who won 18-0
is your son,
my grandson.
What are people outside saying?
We're spending money on
those poor guys to put on a farce
to let your son show off!
Daddy,
Here, have some water.
Oh my...
From this moment on,
get out of my face and never come back.
I don't want my empire, built with
my own hands, to be ruined by you.
But Daddy, actually I was...
Leave my cane where it was.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I told you not to play football.
If you had just studied like a good girl,
this wouldn't have happened.
She hasn't come out all day.
She will, when she's hungry.
Let's eat.
Honey, what the heck are you doing?
I've thought it through.
Cousin,
I finally get it, "as long as you
don't concede, it won't be a loss".
If I give up now,
I'll always be the one who lost 0-18.
But if I don't, I still have
a chance to win 18-0.
I'm glad you've thought it through.
But you don't have to paint
your face like a clown, right?
I just cried, so my face is a mess.
I don't want to be mocked during training.
Are you still practicing?
Go after you finish eating.
I'm good. Just keep some food for me.
I've already wasted a day.
I'm off to practice now.
I knew you guys would be here.
Hey! We've been waiting for a long time.
You thought we wouldn't know
you cried and messed up your face?
You guys are all the same.
Let's get started.
OK, pass the ball! Pass the ball!
Oh, I'm so tired.
OK,
go get some soda from your grandma.
OK!
That's great!
Come on, come on.
I want a Fanta.
I want a Fanta too.
Oh no!
What's wrong? Come on. What happened?
We've been disqualified from the game.
Huh? Why?
Alex!
Your team can't play anymore.
Just go.
If you don't want us to play,
I'm totally fine with that.
But you can't cancel my deal!
Their game is their game.
My deal is my deal.
They're two separate things.
Yes, two separate things.
Your team is canceled by Daddy.
Your order
was canceled by me.
Alex, we had an agreement.
What did you promise me, then?
You promised me it would look presentable.
Did it turn out presentable?
My daddy said you lost 0-18
and disgraced the company.
I'm not blaming you,
but you insisted on hiring that
lame guy as a coach.
Now the kids have lost. We saw this coming.
Fine. It's my fault,
my fault, all my fault!
Okay?
That's not what I meant,
Alex.
To be frank,
this deal is crucial to me.
Without this deal, I will lose everything.
I have lost everything.
My daddy was right.
I'm really useless.
I always try very, very hard to do
something well just to show him.
But it ends up in vain.
So why don't you just...
So you gotta learn from this world that
some things are predestined.
Something that is not destined for
you will never be yours. Accept it!
What's up? Who am I? Where am I?
Why did you do that to him?
What do you want?
I won't accept it, and neither will you.
Your dad said our team
disgraced the company, right?
Let's prove to him that he's wrong.
People online are boycotting
our products now.
How could my daddy be wrong?
My daddy is never wrong.
Alex, you said selling dreams is
worth a try, so let's sell dreams.
What dream could be
greater than losing 0-18,
making a comeback and then making
it to the next round?
Making a comeback?
What are the chances of that?
My daddy said...
Damn!
Can you stop saying daddy all the time?
Say "dad", with no "-dy", okay?
We both have nothing to lose.
Just trust me. I will definitely
take those kids to the next round.
Then you'll be able to
prove to your dad that
he was wrong, not you.
You're great.
Once we make it,
my deal...
You've inspired me again!
This is like a movie.
A story about us folks
trying very, very hard to make
a comeback and make it.
That's what following dreams is all about.
That's right!
But make sure you make it not only to
the next round, but to the finals.
The finals?
Yes.
Is there a problem?
Rest assured.
As long as you make it to the finals,
I'll pay you triple for your deal!
Deal?
Deal.
Why is the Aspire still here?
Didn't I disqualify them?
I decided to keep them in the games.
You can cancel their sponsorship.
I can stay out of company business, too.
But I organized the championship,
so I will continue with it!
What the?
You want to go against me?
Yes.
You want to bet that this team
will make a comeback
and prove I was wrong to
cancel my sponsorship for them?
Is that right?
Interesting.
Okay.
I'll listen to you.
Really?
Okay, don't worry, Daddy.
This time, it will turn out great.
Yay. Yay. Yay!
I didn't give birth to him.
Cousin!
Cool it!
Stand back.
Look, I've secured
this opportunity for you.
To succeed, you need to look further ahead.
So our goal is very clear.
It's so simple:
To make it to the finals. OK?
OK.
All we want it to lose less
in the next game.
If we keep losing like that...
Screw football,
I won't even have confidence
in myself anymore.
Fat B, don't be so nervous.
You just need to play
at your regular level.
Wait, wait.
We were quite close to
our regular level in the last game.
Let's keep calm and do it step by step.
First, we need to advance
from the group stage.
I've done the math.
We can't lose the next game by any means.
As for the coach,
we'll figure that out later.
And now... let's practice.
Practice what exactly?
Hmm
running.
What?
Again?
No different than that crippled coach then?
That's right!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Hurry up!
Defense!
Tackle her!
One, two, three, four! You four!
Go do 200 push-ups.
200?
Coach, please think about it carefully.
Enough! I already told you
I don't teach kids.
Go find someone else.
Look, honey. It's so neat!
It's supposed to go this way.
There's no difference between teaching
adults and teaching kids!
You never know if it'll work
if you haven't tried. You...
Wow!
It's mine, not yours!
It's not yours!
It's the wrong way up...
It's nice, isn't it?
Wow!
New balls!
Fat B, hurry up.
Fat B, what are you doing?
I'm... scared of the ball.
The only way to overcome fear
is to face it.
Just let me go.
Eat my "Seven Spinning Slash"!
Oh, no!
No!
No!
Ms. Fong,
have a soda.
You are...
I'm OK's granny.
I see. Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I should be thanking you.
OK's father died young,
and his mother left him with me.
The silly boy
is always worried that
I will give up on him,
so he says OK to everything.
You know, at my age now, if I pass away...
Granny, should I call him over?
No... no need.
Sorry for disturbing you.
No, Not at all.
However,
in this society, good people like you
are truly rare.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Think about it.
I haven't been on the field in ages,
let alone teach anyone football.
That's right! Teaching these kids
can remind you of your glory days.
I've talked to so many people.
Just do me this favor, please.
Miss, it also took me a long time
before I got this job.
Please do me a favor and get out of my way.
Hello, Kangaroo Takeout, order 964.
Yeah, right here.
Don't worry, ma'am.
I'm very skilled at driving this.
I don't even need the streetlights
and can go wherever I want to.
Now, give it to me.
Captain?
Oh, what luck!
Hey!
Whoa... what a coincidence!
Long time no see.
Indeed, it's been a while.
Having fixed the game and done time,
you disappeared.
I thought you were dead,
turns out you're just crippled.
Well, it's not much different.
Captain, to be honest,
I really admire your passion for football.
Don't say that.
After you were released,
you got a coaching license.
No one hired you because of your legs,
but you still found a team to coach.
Now everyone in Hong Kong knows those kids!
You're really something!
Just to make a living. How many people
do You have to hurt before You stop?
I've quit.
I'm done with all that.
Got to dash! On time!
Excuse me!
Hey!
Hey!
Actually, the two of you
are doing pretty well.
What's going well for us?
We haven't done anything.
We were under investigation for a year,
just for being on your team.
We couldn't attend
the Premier League training camp,
and our football careers almost ended!
So what do you want?
To buy you a drink.
Ma'am!
I'm sorry, but I guess
you need to redo this.
Or I can pay for it.
$50 short.
$50 short.
Oh, okay. I... I'll...
Can I have it on credit?
You tell me.
I'll pay for him.
I will pay you back.
Alright, let's just do this first...
We'll definitely beat those losers.
18-0.
Hey! Stay focused.
Keep an eye on No. 10, understand?
Aspire Football Club.
Come here.
Guys.
What's our goal today?
To not lose!
Yes!
Come on!
You lost 0-18. Isn't that enough?
Bravo!
Okay!
Why are they keeping the ball
in their own half?
Why are they only kicking around
in their own half?
You want to hold out so
that we won't score goals?
Let's see how long you can hold out.
Everyone, close them down!
Offence of the back-pass rule.
Indirect free kick.
Free kick?
Alright, place the ball.
Yeah!
That scared me!
Pick up the ball.
Wait! Slowly, slowly.
Waste some time.
Slow down.
Right, buy us time.
Where's the ball?
The ball is over here.
Hey!
Foul! Foul!
Go on!
Are you kidding me?
Foul!
We haven't lost yet.
We still have time.
Hey...!
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Are you okay, honey?
Ouch...
Should we call a doctor for a check?
Okay, doctors, come give her a check.
Ying!
Be careful.
Slowly straighten your leg
and bring it over.
Ying.
Is it here?
Bear with it.
Bear with it.
Kid, let me help you out of here.
I'm fine.
Don't worry, Cousin. Even
if Ying can't play,
You gained this opportunity
for us to continue playing.
I promised you we wouldn't lose.
Guys, we can surely catch up, right?
Yeah!
Ying, don't push yourself so hard.
We'll do our best for her.
Five minutes is enough for us to catch up.
Yeah.
Hang in there, honey!
Come on, come on!
Alam!
OK!
Ying, look behind.
Lun, this way.
Again?
Foul.
Alam, come here.
What?
She goes that way.Oh, crap.
Mom, what are they doing?
Yes!
Yes!
We won!
You guys are so great!
Yeah!
Siri.
Yes, Mr. Lip.
Run a background check for
the leader of Aspire Football Club.
Copy.
That fatso did pretty well.
Who is it?
It's just $50. Do you need to
come here for it?
I'm not here for the money.
No.
Always be clear about money matters.
We're even after I pay you back.
This note alone is worth more than $50.
Come back and teach them.
What's to teach?
There are only a few weeks to go.
And I'm not a fairy.
It was just good luck
that the last game ended in a draw.
It wasn't good luck,
but your successful tactics.
Did you see how hard they fought?
They have no fundamentals whatsoever.
How can I help them?
Ms. Fong, football isn't
as simple as you think.
Do you think all winning takes is genius?
To be honest, you haven't
even taught them seriously.
How do you know they can't make it?
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Anyway, I have nothing
to do with football anymore.
If you could let it go,
you wouldn't have come back to help them.
Ying tried so hard that day.
Isn't she like the old you?
I studied your game against Japan.
You were really good.
Whoa, Ms. Fong,
why are you so nosy?
Okay, you said you saw
my game against Japan.
Did you see the game I fixed?
I know I'm a jerk.
But you shouldn't act like some
good person or a social worker either.
Would you help them if you
didn't benefit from it?
If we put it that way,
you're even more of a jerk than I am.
My point is,
just let these kids have fun
and muddle through it.
Don't give them false hope, okay?
Hey, where are the boys?
Call them.
Oh, crap, crap, crap!
Alam is quitting!
Alam.
Why are you quitting all of a sudden?
Don't you want to play football anymore?
I want to, but my mom won't let me.
Is this your mom?
Hello. I...
Alam,
tell your mom for me.
Our team really needs you.
I hope she'll let you keep playing.
Say it.
Mom, she said, the team really needs me.
She hopes you'll let me keep playing.
Tell her "no, thanks".
Sorry, I didn't know you spoke Cantonese.
It's okay. I'm used to it.
But I won't let my son
waste his time on football.
How is football a waste of time?
Alam is so good at it and loves it so much.
Perhaps he'll become a footballer one day.
We're different.
You can talk about dreams and aspirations.
I just want to make money.
Please move aside.
Taking out the trash is a dirty job.
You don't want to get dirty.
Thanks.
Go on. I can take it from here.
Hi.
You again? I told you
I won't let my son play football anymore.
With an extra pair of hands,
you'll finish up earlier.
(Low battery.)
(Low battery.)
Hey!
Training is back on tomorrow.
Alam's mom's letting him play.
We'll talk later. Bye.
(Low battery.).
Do you need help?
No!
(Low battery.)
I'll do it myself.
How much longer until
you're done recharging?
If you're busy, you can go.
You don't have to wait.
I'd rather not.
What if you fall and no one helps you?
What are you reading?
Why?
Are you playing 11-a-side games now?
I just couldn't get a 5-a-side one.
I'm making do!
Do you have to do so much as
the team manager?
Learning tactics and helping
them take out the trash?
Do you really want to help them that much?
Helping them and helping myself.
Why not both?
Why don't you come help me as well?
Come and teach those kids.
Better than being
Goblin mode all your life.
Okay... You don't need to preach here.
Haven't you heard this?
If I can lie flat, why must I move?
Look! You've heard it before.
It's not like I haven't tried.
Do you really think I didn't know that
fixing a match might ruin my life?
But if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have
been able to pay for my father's funeral.
I knew I wouldn't be able to
play football after I got out of jail.
So I struggled to get a coaching license.
But everyone knows what happened.
No one from the HKPL, First, Second,
or Third Division wants to hire me.
Even those extracurricular classes in
schools won't hire me to teach children.
I looked for opportunities elsewhere.
After searching for three years,
I finally found a youth team in East Timor.
They wanted to hire me,
so I went there.
Then what?
Boom!
A whole car
crashes onto a sidewalk.
So now Providence has turned its back on me
and wants me finished.
If he had wanted you finished,
you wouldn't have met those kids.
Maybe he thought I wasn't fully done,
so he made me hurt a few more people.
You believe in Providence, right?
Okay.
Since you believe in Providence,
let's flip a coin.
Heads, you come back to coach. Tails,
you go home and sleep. Okay?
I refuse.
Heads or tails?
No... wait a minute.
Reverse them.
Tails!
Tails, right?
Tails! Tails!
One, two.
Hey! Wait! Wait!
Make it heads. Heads!
Heads, right?
Heads! Heads, I'll teach them!
Heads, right?
Come on!
One, two, three!
So where does that leave us?
Just count it as heads.
That's crazy! How can you do that?
This one doesn't count!
Take it as tails, then.
Look, you're quite funny.
(Battery is full.
Please remove the charger.)
Once you've recharged
your battery where are you going?
Make your own choice.
Ms. Fong.
Give me a hand.
I can't reach that.
Put it away.
To advance to the quarter-finals,
we can't just defend.
We gotta win the next three games.
But we only have that one move with Fat B,
so our opponents must be prepared.
That's right!
With only one move, how can you win?
Everyone,
I did slack off on you before.
I'm sorry for that.
The reason you tied in the last game
wasn't because of my tactics.
It was because of every one of you.
Give me a chance
and I'll take you to the finals.
The finals?
Coach Cripple, are you thinking less of us?
Didn't you say we had only one goal?
Guys, what is our goal?
To be champions together! Yeah!
One, two, one, two!
So you cut in behind them here...
That's when you give a through pass...
Faster!
Kick the ball at this spot
with the outside of your foot,
aiming at where you want to shoot.
Hey, two legs
There's a football term called
the "KISS" tactic.
Keep it simple stupid.
Granny,
I found OK's mom.
After we win this game,
we'll make it to the finals together.
You got any confidence?
Yes!
Go! Go! Go!
Okay. It's fine
This way
Alam, there's a free spot!
Get to the spot!
We did it!
Daddy?
How do you feel?
Does it hurt to be wrong?
Now that Aspire has made it into
the finals to confront Sunshine,
it's like a flashback of the opening match.
Everyone online supports them,
which means that my decision
to keep them playing
was right,
while your cancellation of
their sponsorship was wrong.
What era is this?
Who still cares about right or wrong?
Whoever has the power is right.
Those without power
are always wrong.
If you don't believe it,
ask the staff outside.
Who dares to say I'm wrong?
How do you want Aspire to lose?
Why would I want them to lose?
If they don't lose,
how will your son win?
Football is either winning or losing.
You know, I've always wondered
what I did wrong
to make you turn out this way.
It didn't strike me
until I was in the hospital recently.
Do you remember when you were 10,
and joined your first junior
table tennis competition?
In the first round,
you drew a player far worse than you,
but you still lost.
0-21.
0-21!
I was so disgraced
and embarrassed.
So I stopped watching and walked
out by the second round.
That incident changed everything.
After that, you kept losing
and making mistakes.
Son,
perhaps you were right.
I shouldn't have walked away.
I should have found a way to make you win.
I won't make
the same mistake twice.
You don't want your son
to lose and end up like you, do you?
That's not negotiable.
Ms. Fong.
Andy, hello.
Sorry this took so long.
Sign here, and all of your debts
will officially be settled.
Okay.
So did you cancel the bank's
auction of my house?
Because I wanted to discuss
that mortgage as well.
The auction was canceled,
but we've already sold your house.
What?
Wait,
we had an agreement.
I pay off my debt, you cancel the auction,
and then I restart my mortgage.
Yes, but the buyer is a friend of
our bank's regional CEO for Asia.
Sorry.
Who is the buyer?
Sorry, I have no idea.
I'll submit the documents first.
Sister,
I found the buyer.
He also said he wanted to meet you.
Ms. Fong, please.
Mr. Lip.
Ms. Fong.
Please sit down.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I haven't thanked you yet.
Thank you for allowing those kids
to make it to the finals.
From the very beginning,
you convinced my son to go against me.
It sounded interesting to me.
I wasn't mistaken about you.
You really managed to
get them to the finals.
That was all thanks to their own efforts.
You're a smart girl.
You should know why
I asked you to come here.
Certainly because you don't want
Aspire to beat your grandson.
But Mr. Lip, you're famous
for never doing a bad deal.
I doubt you would trade a house for that.
Continue.
What you worry about most is handing
your company over to Alex.
So, if I'm not mistaken,
you want me to be an assistant to Alex,
help him run your company
for your grandson to take over.
The doctor said that I ruined my health
through overwork when I was young.
My heart is the cost!
I won't be able to manage this company
for much longer.
When I retire,
you will be the natural choice for COO.
Who's gonna look down on you then?
If you think highly of me,
you can hire me directly.
You don't have to make the kids lose.
Don't tell me you can't even
let go of those kids!
You have such a clear vision,
yet you're still bargaining with me?
Anyway, you still haven't
answered my question.
Why did I ask you to come here today?
Humans are pretty extraordinary.
No matter if their environment
gets better or worse,
they can always adapt
and get used to it easily.
I asked you to come back here today
because I don't want you to
get used to losing
and forget what winning feels like.
Birds of a feather flock together.
How hard did you worked
before you got here?
You must know this, right?
You don't have to answer now.
Go back and think it over carefully.
But I don't want to see you and those kids
at the final on Saturday.
Hi, Ying.
Oh, crap, Cousin! Come to the rooftop now!
Rooftop? Rooftop? What happened?
Surprise!
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to Hay Man!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
Happy birthday!
Cousin, we know you want your house back.
We can't give you a real one.
Take this cake for now.
Thank you.
And, Cousin, this is for you!
Isn't it beautiful?
We worked on it all night!
I told you she wouldn't like it!
You should have listened to me and
painted some brand logos on it!
Not at all.
It's beautiful. Thank you.
That's fine if you say so.
It's our uniform on the day of the final.
You can't refuse it then.
Yeah!
What did Lip Man Yin say to you?
What else could it be?
What do you think?
I understand.
The revolutionary spirit must feel good.
But such an opportunity won't arise again.
Oh, I shouldn't push you.
It's your birthday.
Happy birthday.
Anyway, thank you.
Not OK! Not OK!
I'm not leaving and that's that!
OK!
Granny,
what's going on?
I got a text from his mother today.
She convinced her husband to take in OK.
She asked me to take OK to
Guangzhou Airport to join them on Saturday.
They're moving to Vietnam and
won't be coming back.
Hey, wait, Saturday?
So it means our final will be a bust?
Yes.
OK,
what's bothering you?
Confide in me, okay?
Please tell Grandma
that I don't want to go.
I know you don't want
to leave your grandma.
Your grandma doesn't want
you to leave either.
But she is old,
so she's worried she
can't take care of you.
I can take care of myself.
I don't want to leave Grandma,
leaving her alone with
no one to take care of her...
We can help you look after
her and take care of her.
When you grow up, you can
come back here to look after her.
OK, you've always been a good boy.
You don't want your grandma
to worry about you,
do you?
But the final...
Don't worry.
They will all understand.
Sorry... Sorry!
Wait! Don't go! Wait!
Please! Open the door!
What's the matter, ma'am?
Why is there no one here?
Isn't this bus going to Guangzhou?
It's going back for maintenance.
The one to Guangzhou left ages ago.
OK!
OK!
Hay Man, why are you here?
OK, do you want to complete the final?
I really want to, Grandma. Can I?
Granny, after the game,
I'll take OK to Vietnam myself.
OK!
OK? OK!
Thank you, Grandma!
Oh no, we're almost late!
The game is about to start.
Why aren't they here yet?
Must be afraid of losing,
so they don't dare to come.
Faster!
Go!
Wait up, wait up!
Register, register!
Aspire Football Club.
Okay, okay.
Come on! Let's warm up!
Warm up!
Come on, honey!
Lun, keep it up!
Jonathan!
Listen,
it doesn't matter if you win or lose.
I will buy you a Lamborghini anyway...
Don't worry, Daddy. I've never lost before.
I won't lose today, either.
Come back, Jonathan.
I'll go.
Stay tuned for my show.
Daddy loves you!
Mr. Lip.
I'm very disappointed.
However,
you have always chosen your own path.
I used to take too many shortcuts.
This time, I want to take the main road.
Aren't I the main road?
What's she talking about?
Good luck!
Afraid to attack?
I thought you had made some progress.
Lun, the ball.
Alam.
Why are they so far back?
Surely they're not scared?
They're all in the wrong positions.
Go, go!
Shoot!
Huh?
The legendary "Breakaway Square Pass"!
Ying!
Don't be afraid of them!
Just shoot when you get the chance!
Play your own game!
Don't get flustered!
Break through! Break through!
They're all out of it.
Something seems wrong.
Let's go, boys!
Coach Wu,
shall we...
Time out.
Referee,
Aspire requests a time-out.
Aspire has requested a time-out.
Come here.
It's okay, it's okay.
Just one goal behind.
We can surely catch up, right?
Let's hear what Coach Wu has to say.
Why were you fixing the game?
Do you know what you're doing?
Do you want to end up like me,
unable to play football forever?
Answer me!
Did Lip Man Yin promise you something?
Don't you remember how hard
you worked to get here?
Have you forgotten your goal?
Ying?
Actually, we don't care
if we win the championship.
We just want to help you out this once.
During warm-ups,
Mr. Lip Junior spoke to us.
He said that
if we agreed to lose,
he would hire you to work at his company.
He said he would offer a very high pay and
that you could move back to your house.
Originally, he wanted us
to lose by four goals,
but we didn't want you to lose face,
so we only agreed to lose by one goal.
It's all my fault for losing
that last point. I'm sorry.
We had nothing to begin with.
If you hadn't helped us,
we wouldn't have even
made it to the finals.
If we lose and then you win,
we're really happy to lose.
Do you know that game fixing won't help me?
If I wanted to take shortcuts,
I wouldn't have come all this way with you.
Look at everyone in the stands.
A few months ago,
they all looked down on you.
Those who said they supported you
were just pitying you
or using you, including me.
Following dreams in adversity
was merely a slogan to me.
But over the past few months,
with your perseverance and effort,
you have shown me
you are the ones who deserve
the most respect here.
Do you want to help me?
Don't play this game for me,
but for yourselves.
Show everyone with your strength that
you don't need anyone's pity.
Go out there, and win back
the respect you deserve.
Okay, both teams come back to the field.
Listen,
remember what football has given you guys.
Do you remember?
Yes!
Good! Let's go!
Good luck!
Ying!
Hey! What's up?
Defend!
Fat B, come up! Block them!
Huh?
I'm sure to win,
but fairly and squarely.
Attack!
Hey, come on!
Go!
Go!
Come on!
Jonathan, what are you doing?
What is he up to?
Did you buy off those kids?
I don't want Jonathan to be like me.
You've never done anything
right all your life.
But fortunately, you have a smart kid.
Don't worry. He'll outmatch you and me.
The competition officially begins.
Counterattack! Counterattack!
Keep going! Keep your rhythm!
Come and have some water.
Alam, can you get mine too?
Towel.
Water...
Thanks, OK!
Do you remember when you lost 0-18?
But now,
you can tie the game and
go to a penalty shoot-out.
You have done more than enough.
So when you go out,
just remember two words:
Enjoy it.
Remember why you have come here?
Whatever the result may be,
the most important thing is
we win together and we lose together.
