In the world of soccer, there are some names that, even after years of baptism, are still hard to hide their radiance. Hassan Sunny, the Singaporean goalkeeper, in the long course of his career, although not dazzling halo, but at the age of forty, as the mainstay of the national team, ushered in the peak of personal glory. It was in the second stage of the preliminaries in the 36 knockout rounds, with China's stay or departure hanging in the balance. If Singapore could take absolute advantage of Thailand's showdown with itself, Chinese soccer would face four years of early World Cup preparation, which would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the continuity of the game. However, when the match ended with Singapore going down 1:3 to Thailand and China advancing to the last 18 in a thriller on goal difference, Sonny's heroics were the turning point of the match. In that match, Sunny was a guardian angel, making 11 saves, and it was his bravery that prevented Thailand from beating Singapore by a large margin. If China had lost, Thailand would have easily progressed, but Sunny's presence made it all come to naught. Sonny's bravery not only earned him the pinnacle of his career, but also gave the national soccer team a chance to advance, making it a win-win situation. Sonny's popularity in China quickly climbed, and the passion of his fans even froze his bank account for a while, just to show their appreciation for him. With advertising endorsements and invitations to Chinese events, Sonny has received unprecedented attention and popularity. In an interview, Sonny was moved to reveal the mystery of his birth - he is a descendant of Chinese people, his grandfather came from China. At this moment, Sunny is not only a goalkeeper, but also a hero across the border, and his name will be engraved in the history of soccer forever.
