On the afternoon of May 8, coach Romagnoli and his team arrived in Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for a series of friendly matches with two Vietnamese teams.

After a long day of flying from Buenos Aires to Ho Chi Minh City, the young Argentine players were quite tired. Some players had just finished playing in the Argentine national championship and were taken straight to the airport by helicopter to join the team in time for the trip to Vietnam. |

"We are very surprised by your welcome," said player Juan Foyth when he was welcomed by the crowd of Vietnamese fans. "We are just young players who are not well known to fans, but we did not expect to be welcomed like this." |

Striker Marcelo Torres - who is considered the Carlos Tevez of Argentine football - was relaxed and happy in front of the media and fans. "We don't know much about Vietnamese people and football. But I'm very excited to be on the field, this confrontation promises to be very interesting," said player Lautaro Martinez. |

Coach Claudia Ubeda highly appreciated U20 Vietnam and said that the upcoming match is a useful opportunity for the players to compete. |

On May 9, Coach Ubeda and his team will practice in the morning and afternoon. The team, which has won the U20 FIFA World Cup six times, will play a friendly match with U20 Vietnam on May 10 at Thong Nhat Stadium. After this match, U20 Argentina will go to Hanoi to meet U22 Vietnam on May 14, while U20 Vietnam will travel straight to Korea. |
