The Vietnamese team has also entered the second training session in Riyadh today. Although they have not really adapted to the time zone difference and the weather conditions of the desert, thanks to a scientific lifestyle and adequate nutrition, the players have reached a fairly good physical condition. More importantly, the injuries at different levels while training in the country such as Thanh Chung, Dinh Trong, Duc Chinh... have all fully recovered.
