After football is home

(Baonghean.vn) - It was no coincidence that in the press conference after the match between SHB Da Nang and SLNA, SHB Da Nang's deputy coach, Mr. Dao Quang Hung, had to use the word "peak" for the match with the participation of 3,000 Nghe An fans.

The image of the professional, methodical and passionate SLNA Fan Club was once again shown at Chi Lang Stadium even though SLNA is not having good form and achievements.

The matches between the two teams with rich identities, SLNA and SHB Da Nang, always take place extremely hotly and fiercely, but that does not mean that the SLNA fans' stands do not have any arguments or any uncivilized gestures. In that match, thousands of SLNA fans held up cardboard with the shirt numbers of Ngoc Hai and Anh Khoa printed on them with the message of healing past wounds. Throughout the match, about 3,000 SLNA fans present at Chi Lang "burned" every second, every minute, every ball on the field.

The great credit for the success of the SLNA Fan Club in the last round belongs to the volunteers of the Song Lam Association in Da Nang. They are the ones who sacrificed many weeks to prepare for this match - from planning, communication work, providing cheering equipment, distributing tickets. To have the sublime moments at Chi Lang Stadium, many students and volunteers from Ha Tinh and Nghe An contributed their efforts, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Key members of SLNA Football Club took photos with the SLNA Central Region Fan Club after the match at Chi Lang Stadium.

After the match between SHB Da Nang and SLNA was the final match of the 4th Song Lam Media Football Tournament. This is a tournament with a very systematic and professional organization scale with the 4 strongest teams being FC Vinh, FC Do Luong, FC Nghi Xuan, Nghi Loc, Cua Lo and former champion FC Thanh Chuong. Watching the final match, witnessing the overwhelming emotions of Nghi Xuan, Nghi Loc, Cua Lo fans and the sadness of FC Thanh Cuong coming in second, it is not difficult to feel the role of football in uniting the people of Nghe An and Ha Tinh.

The festival in Chi Lang has ended, but its echoes still linger in every participant. It is not just about football, it is also about love for the homeland.
