THE GUESTS ARE NOT PLAYING FOR MONEY…

All three guest teams of the 2014 U19 Four Nations tournament have submitted their applications to the Organizing Committee. In the registration form, Japan U19 has listed three future stars: Minamino Takumi, Matsumoto Masaya and captain Miura Genta. These are all players currently playing in J-League 1, who shined at the U17 World Cup in Mexico 2011 and in continental tournaments. Tottenham U19 has notable players such as Ball, Percil, Miller... AS Roma has Francesco, Arturo...

There is a very remarkable detail, that is when Barca and Ajax could not participate in the Four Nations tournament for various reasons, Tottenham and AS Roma agreed to participate. Even better, when accepting the invitation, these two teams did not care about the bonus but only sought information about the level of their opponents.

Until it was known that Asia's top team, Japan U19, was participating and especially the storyU19 VietnamThey only agreed after they had defeated their Australian opponents (whose squad had many players playing in Europe) in a spectacular manner. Therefore, it was not until a month later, after carefully studying their opponents, that Tottenham and AS Roma signed a commitment to bring their strongest squad to Vietnam!

Receiving information that the opponents brought their brightest stars to Vietnam, Coach Guillaume's students were very eager, wanting to immediately go on the field to compete with their peers. Defender Le Van Son shared: "In fact, we have played many matches with players from Europe and Africa. They have very good physique and fitness. However, we are not afraid to compete with them in technique. We know U19 Japan quite well thanks to the matches at Sanix Cup 2013. This is a comprehensive team! And playing with players from top teams in Italy and England is also an opportunity for U19 Vietnam to learn, rub shoulders and mature more...".

Sharing the same view, midfielder Duc Huy, who has just returned from a trial trip from Japan, said: “These are all very strong opponents, many of their players promise to be bright stars in the future of European football. Therefore, playing against them is also an opportunity to know our own abilities. U19 Vietnam will prepare the best, my teammates and I are very comfortable and eager to go on the field to compete with them!”

Vietnamese fans are going crazy about this promisingly exciting youth tournament. They are looking forward to seeing their favorite U19 talents perform, and they are excited about the quality of the guests. The proof is that almost immediately after the ticket sale date was announced, and many days before, we received many calls from audiences everywhere asking about tournament information, ticket prices, and even… asking to buy tickets!
