(Baonghean.vn) - In the coming days, the Vietnam National Team will enter the decisive matches in Group G - 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. Coach Park Hang-seo has required the players to absolutely comply with the established discipline.
Before the match against UAE on November 14 and Thailand on November 19, Coach Park Hang-seo asked his players to follow a strict schedule for eating, sleeping, and practicing; not to stay up late or go on social media to avoid psychological effects.
In addition, all members of the national team are not allowed to answer the press without permission from the coaching staff, nor are they allowed to reveal tactical issues of the team to the media.

More importantly, the Korean coach instructed the entire team to stop and resolve the issues of buying tickets and giving tickets to relatives and friends during these days. The entire team must focus on their skills and wholeheartedly on the two important matches ahead.
According to research, in addition to the invitations issued, each player had to spend money to buy about 5-7 pairs of tickets for relatives and friends, but it was still not enough. Many players spent time and effort to arrange enough tickets.

Currently, tickets for the Vietnam - UAE match are being sold widely on the black market at prices 3-5 times higher. Specifically, ticket prices for stands A and B are being pushed up by ticket brokers to about 1.8 million VND/pair, and for stands C and D at about 1.3 million VND/pair. Despite the high ticket prices, many brokers are willing to spend money to buy tickets in large quantities.
Previously, the Vietnam Football Federation had started selling tickets online for the Vietnam vs UAE match in the World Cup qualifiers (November 14). As usual, all listed ticket prices (200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 VND) were quickly sold out.
