Yen Thanh Football determined to defend Nghe An Newspaper Cup championship
(Baonghean.vn) - In terms of achievements, Yen Thanh football is not comparable to Do Luong or Quynh Luu, but the two Children's and Youth championships at the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth-Youth Football Tournament in 2018 are a great motivation for the rice-growing football teams.
In 2007, when Phan Van Duc, Pham Xuan Manh, and Hoang Vu Dat in the Yen Thanh Children's team faced Do Luong Children's team in the final match, Yen Thanh football began to gain a foothold in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth-Number Football Tournament.
After winning the Youth Championship at the Youth Football Tournament - Nghe An Newspaper Cup for 2 consecutive years (2011 and 2012), Yen Thanh football has shown its strength and development potential. Although it missed the Youth Championship 3 times in the following 3 years, 2018 was a year of great victory for Yen Thanh football.

Last season, Yen Thanh Children's Team with a well-balanced force advanced to the final and defeated the "big guy" Do Luong with a convincing score of 5-1. Meanwhile, Yen Thanh Youth Team also defeated Quynh Luu with a close score of 1-0 to lift the Cup. Yen Thanh Football has also provided SLNA with quality young players, reaping many championships in the past year such as Truong Van Tuyen, Vuong Van Tung or Nguyen Van Bach.
That success is both a motivation and a great pressure for Yen Thanh coaches to prepare for this year's football season. To prepare for the biggest tournament of the year for youth, after the Lunar New Year, Yen Thanh Cultural and Sports Center prepared the field as well as other conditions to facilitate the players to participate in training; assigned staff - coaches in charge of the Youth and Children's teams. The two amateur classes of Yen Thanh have been busy practicing with a density of 4 sessions/1 week before the official squad selection.
The examples of Phan Van Duc and Pham Xuan Manh always motivate the young players of Yen Thanh to practice hard. And the effect of these two stars also helps many children participate in football practice, nurturing the dream of becoming professional players. Every year, Yen Thanh district organizes football tournaments for 2 age groups: youth and children, requiring all 39 communes to participate, with serious preparation.

Good selection work and special attention from the district leaders have helped Yen Thanh Children's Football Team always have depth in the squad. In 2018, Yen Thanh Children's Football Team had up to 5 players sent to SLNA for training, and this year, this number remains the same. These are the factors that can decide the success of Yen Thanh Children's Football Team in this year's season, even the National Youth-Children Football Tournament such as Phan Doan Chinh, Vo Quang Huy, Nguyen Van Hung, Phan Dinh Tri, Vo Minh Quan.
In addition, this year, Coach Nguyen Duc Nhan also added many outstanding players from the amateur talent class opened by SLNA in Yen Thanh. The combination of professional and talent factors will help ND Yen Thanh become the strongest candidate.
Meanwhile, Yen Thanh Youth led by coach Vu Duc Quyet also has high determination. Success in the Children's tournament in recent years and introducing many good players is also the foundation for Yen Thanh Youth to confidently enter the tournament. Currently, Yen Thanh has many faces born in 2006 with good skills and the goal is to win medals. The team has also gathered since mid-May and is in the process of reducing the squad with an enthusiastic training atmosphere.

Winning the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth Football Championship is difficult, defending the championship is even more difficult, especially in the context of amateur classes across the province developing evenly.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Cong - Deputy Director of Yen Thanh District Sports Center said: "Because Yen Thanh Children and Youth are the defending champions, the difficulties will be greater than last year's season. This year's teams will receive a lot of investment, so we dare not say anything in advance. However, Yen Thanh will enter the tournament with caution and high concentration, along with high determination and respect for opponents"./.
