17:00 May 13, Vissai Ninh Binh vs Churchill Brothers: "Fire phoenix" spirit

At this time, the AFC Cup is the only tournament that V.NB is still participating in. Therefore, the fact that they only have a very small squad to host the defending Indian champions - Churchill Brothers makes many people believe that this afternoon's match will be the last time the Hoa Lu team plays. However, coach Van Sy and his team think differently...

V.NB will play a decisive match to win.

“PHOENIX” OF V-LEAGUE

V.NB participated in the AFC Cup 2014 as a rookie, but their unbeaten record in the group stage with 5 wins and 1 draw made them considered the most interesting phenomenon in the eyes of experts in the continent. Optimists even boldly mentioned the possibility of V.NB creating a fairy tale at the AFC Cup 2014.

Of course, such comments have been greatly diminished after the incident of some V.NB players being discovered to be involved in betting in the group stage match (winning 3-2 away against Kelantan). Few people still believe that V.NB is strong enough to continue the journey in the AFC Cup 2014 when coach Van Sy had to spend a lot of time to gather enough players to prepare for the knockout match for the ticket to the quarter-finals with Churchill Brothers.

But football is not a place where logical reasoning is always completely accurate and football also has enough romance to create unexpected results. Therefore, despite having to suffer countless disadvantages in terms of force, Coach Van Sy and his students are still determined to "burn" themselves out in the match against Churchill Brothers. They do so, so that even if they fail, the beautiful image of the last appearance will be vividly preserved, never fading.

V.NB's determination to "burn" with all his might reminds people of the image of the "fire phoenix" in Western mythology: When the phoenix is ​​old and weak, it burns itself fiercely into ashes and after a while, the phoenix is ​​resurrected with the most youthful and brilliant form from those very ashes.

A CHALLENGE WITHIN A THOUSAND

Churchill Brothers are the reigning Indian champions and have 6 Indian national team players in their squad, so they are certainly confident about their ticket to the quarter-finals when they only have to compete with a V.NB team that is facing serious personnel difficulties. But remember, V.NB will make up for this weakness with spirit and if they can do that, they have the right to think about winning because Churchill Brothers' professional level is only equal to... Pune FC (the Indian representative who was defeated 3-0 away by HN.T&T in the 2014 AFC Champions League preliminary round).

V.NB’s spiritual weapon was demonstrated in the last match of the group stage not long ago at Yangon Utd Stadium. At that time, with the same force having to “patch up”, V.NB still “swallowed” the Myanmar champion with a score of 4-1, making even the opponent bow in admiration.

Today, if the same thing happens again, it will not be a big surprise. The fairy tale named V.NB in ​​AFC Cup 2014 may not come to an end?
