(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of January 28, the U23 players were honored to be met and congratulated by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc after more than 5 hours of waiting.
At nearly 7:00 p.m. tonight (January 28), the Vietnam U23 team arrived at the Government headquarters under the warm welcome of the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister said: "I have been waiting here for more than 5 hours. There has never been such a long wait for a Prime Minister, but there has never been such great joy because this wait is in harmony with the joy of the people of the whole country, especially the people of the capital Hanoi. I understand that you and your friends are very hungry and tired. I believe that with this joy, being hungry is also happy. I wish this meeting to be meaningful, it is rare for Vietnam to reach the final of the U23 Asian Cup."
According to the plan, after the welcoming ceremony at Noi Bai International Airport, the U23 team would return to report their achievements in front of President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, before entering the Government Headquarters to attend a meeting with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc. However, the program could not take place as planned due to the warm welcome of the U23 Vietnam team returning from the capital's large number of people.
At the Government Headquarters, the Prime Minister awarded the First Class Labor Medal to the team, Third Class Labor Medals to Coach Park Hang-seo, Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung and Midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai, along with the Prime Minister's Certificates of Merit to 31 other members of the team.
