On the sidelines of Nghe An Newspaper Cup: Drawing lots to watch the opening ceremony

Draw lots to see the opening ceremony

The opening ceremony of the Youth - Children's Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup took place this afternoon, in addition to being reported on Nghe An electronic newspaper and Nghe An Newspaper's platforms, on FPT Play TV channel, there were also many viewers livestreaming live so that relatives could access the solemn ceremony.

A woman who was a supporter of Hung Nguyen Youth and Children's Team stood in the stands, trying to lean on the railing, leaning forward to use her phone to film the parade of the players. Someone nearby reminded her: "Be careful not to fall!"

The woman explained while livestreaming: “To be able to attend the tournament opening ceremony, my husband and I drew lots at noon, and I won. But according to the agreement, whoever gets to attend the ceremony must broadcast it live for people at home to see, and the images must be clear, especially the parade of the teams.”

This female fan also said that if her husband won the lottery, he would have to cut grass for the buffalo, feed the pigs and chickens, and prepare dinner for the whole family. Although she felt guilty, she could not let go of the opportunity, because the tournament only takes place once a year, and next year she might not be lucky enough to win the lottery to continue...

The audience on the field often heard the boys command: "Kiệt shake!", "Cương cross!", "Phọng run!"...

In particular, the command “Trong Xoay!” was repeated over and over again. In that situation, a Quy Chau audience member spoke up: “Be careful Quy Chau youth, the opposing team has a player, Professor Cu Trong Xoay, coming to play!”. After that witty remark, a series of people present burst out laughing…
