Quynh Luu determined to defend the throne at Nghe An Newspaper Cup
Last season, the Quynh Luu Youth Team defeated a series of “big guys” to win the Nghe An Newspaper Cup. This year, teachers and students of Quynh Luu district are determined to train and compete with all their might so that this title will not slip away from their hands.
Quynh Luu district is a locality with a strong physical education and sports movement. At the Youth - Children's Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup, Quynh Luu district also had impressive seasons with many participations, along with beautiful and dedicated attacking football. Quynh Luu land has also produced famous players for Vietnamese football such as goalkeeper Duong Hong Son, striker Le Cong Vinh or later Hoang Van Binh, Ho Phuc Tinh, Vo Ngoc Toan, Vo Ngoc Duc...
As soon as receiving information about the 26th Youth - Children Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup, Quynh Luu district quickly directed the Center for Culture - Sports and Communication to send staff directly to localities in the area to select talented young players with qualities and passion for football. Because this year the age regulations have changed, the selection process also takes more time, however, up to now, Quynh Luu district has also found nearly 30 promising players, ready to compete in the upcoming Nghe An Newspaper Cup.

Coach Duong Vu Phong - Coach of Quynh Luu team shared: This year, Quynh Luu entered the tournament as the defending champion in the youth age group. I always convey this to my students in every training session to encourage their pride, thereby motivating them to strive and compete with all their might for the flag and the position that their district is holding.
Taking on the role of coach for both the youth and children teams participating in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup, Mr. Duong Vu Phong's work has also increased many times. However, with his love for football, dedication to his profession and seriousness towards the tournament, Mr. Phong always spends maximum time practicing with the children, arranging harmoniously to train both teams.

The teens are older, so training is also a little easier due to
You have learned to listen and understand tactical lectures as well as instructions.
The teacher is in every match. For children, they are still innocent,
The competition is based on emotion so training takes more time but it is also very interesting because the children always compete with all their might...Coach Duong Vu Phong

In terms of team strength compared to last season, coach Doi Quynh Luu said that this year, both in terms of physique and personal skills, the players are not as good as the "golden" generation of players in the 25th season. However, there are still new names that are the team's hopes such as Dinh Toan, Nhat Long, Uy Vu... ready to create surprises.
It is known that this year's team gathering was carried out earlier by Quynh Luu district. Despite the hot weather, Quynh Luu district teachers and students still ensured the frequency of daily training with various warm-up exercises, coordination of movement, defense, and finishing... Some players from far away such as Chi Cong, Nhat Long, Khanh Hoang, Hoang Anh... were arranged by Mr. Phong to stay with him so that they would have less trouble traveling to the training ground.
Ho Minh Hai - a player of Quynh Luu Youth Team shared: This is the first time I have participated in the tournament so I am very excited to wait for the opening day to compete in Vinh city. Last year, our seniors won the championship so we will also be determined to defend this achievement this season.
Accompanying the young players in the new season are always caring parents who pick them up and drop them off, and monitor their steps on the training ground.
Everyone in the family is passionate about football, so when we heard that my son was selected to join the district team to participate in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup, the whole family was very happy. At this time, the harvest season is over, so I take my son to practice every day that I have a training schedule. I hope he will try to practice, listen to the coach to compete well, and bring achievements to the district.

In the 25th season, Quynh Luu Youth Team won the championship convincingly. Although in a difficult group with the appearance of Hoang Mai Town Team and Hung Nguyen District Team, Quynh Luu Team passed the group stage with a perfect record. In the semi-finals, the "tornado" Quynh Luu also defeated Yen Thanh - a very strong team last season to reach the final match. Although the opponent in the final match was the home team Vinh City, Quynh Luu still played their best to win the championship, ending a magical journey. This year, teachers and students of Quynh Luu District are determined to maintain the throne in this prestigious tournament.
