7:00 p.m. July 17, Vietnam National Team and Arsenal: Waiting for the football feast

Coach Arsene Wenger affirmed that Arsenal will play an impressive match, as a gift for Vietnamese fans. With more than enough class, the Gunners from London will certainly give the audience an eye-catching match.

Arsenal stars performed impressively in the training session at My Dinh yesterday afternoon (July 16).

PLAY HARD AND "BURN" OUT

There is a very surprising thing when talking about the confrontation with Arsenal, many players of the Vietnam national team are not afraid at all, they are even confident that: there is no need to "show off" the guests. As striker Cong Vinh said, "Arsenal's class is too clear. But if we are afraid of them, how can we play football! The mood of the brothers in the team is very eager and will burn themselves out for a beautiful match".

Coach Hoang Van Phuc understands his students' psychology very well and he always reminds everyone to play a tight match with all their efforts. At the end of yesterday afternoon's practice session, while the spectators standing next to the field were talking about the practice session ofArsenalthen the players freely tease each other.

“The players are in good mental condition and many players are in good form. At this time, fans are waiting for us a lot and the whole team is aware of the mission of the hosts. I believe that the Vietnam team will have an impressive match,” Coach Hoang Van Phuc confided. Preparations for playing style and personnel arrangement were completed 2 days ago, so now the Vietnam team is just waiting for the moment to take the field to compete with the opponent.

“ALL FOR VIETNAMESE FANS”

“I am very impressed by the enthusiasm of Vietnamese fans for us. This is the first time Arsenal has come to Vietnam to play and we will play to the best of our ability to repay the enthusiasm of the fans here,” defender Kieran Gibbs shared.

Coming to Vietnam this time, coach Arsene Wenger and his team showed seriousness and they really wanted to play quality friendly matches as a springboard for the new season. The proof is that yesterday morning, after seeing signs of inertia in his players, coach Wenger decided to take the whole team out to practice immediately, even though they had previously planned to practice only once on the afternoon of July 16. Under the summer rain, Walcott, Rosicky, Podolski... ran and shot without stopping. Even before getting in the car to leave, defender Sagna took the opportunity to run a few laps around the field to practice his endurance.

Coach Hoang Van Phuc and his colleague Arsene Wenger both have something in common: they are very interested in using young players. Under their hands, many young players have grown up and affirmed their brands. Now when facing each other, the match result may not be an important factor, but at least it is an opportunity for them to show their qualities as "generals" with a good hand in molding talent. And this afternoon, with the determination to "play beautifully to satisfy the audience", the Gunners of London and the Vietnam National Team will bring fans an emotional and satisfying match.
