Hong Kong's soccer team suffered a serious blow prior to their friendly against Malaysia as veteran defender Lee Chi-ho decided to pull out after a practice match yesterday. The South China player cited personal reasons, but it is believed he is not happy with the team's management style and the selection of so many inexperienced players. Hong Kong play Malaysia home and away next month as part of their build-up for the East Asian Championship qualifiers in December. Chan Kin-wa
