I am an Under 21 coach myself and I can tell you a few things.
The rosters are never finalised. I made massive changes once we were out contention in the tournamnet and gave a few tier two and three players a run.
Hong Kong is a very powerful team and at best he would be marginal, but you never know if there are injuries or GS issues he may get a call up.
We U21 managers have to deal with sleasy day traders all the time that want us to do things for them to make them a buck while all they do is sit on our players and not train them properly. I assume you are not like this, but I go out of my way to not help these people and have recieved much abuse from these day traders that bought our U21 players, didn't train them, then tried to flip them for a quick buck, but when I notice (especially before the reset at the start of the season and late last season when it didn't matter) I remove the players from the team.
I even have unscrupulous managers contacting me and asking me to add their dud players to the U21 team so they can make a profit on the sale. Obviously they get nothing from me!
Hong Kong is probably knee deep in "businessmen" and I imagine the coach has 0 interest in messing up his national team and will be 100% focussed on having the best team at all times.
