The Vietnam team has arrived in the UAE, ready for the match against the Chinese team.
(Baonghean.vn) - Early morning on October 1, the Vietnamese team arrived in the UAE to prepare for the match with the Chinese team on October 7.
Due to the impact of Covid-19, the Chinese team lost their home field advantage. They were forced to play at Sharjah Stadium in the UAE against the Vietnamese team. Therefore, although they had to travel far, this was a big advantage for Coach Park Hang-seo and his team because it was considered a neutral field.

The direct flight carrying the Vietnamese team to the UAE takes 7 hours. Having played in the UAE many times, Cong Phuong, Quang Hai and their teammates do not feel unfamiliar, but instead are confident and determined to win points against China.

The Chinese team took the match with Vietnam very seriously, so they stayed in the UAE to train for a whole month to get used to the hot weather and the field there. He also added that it was unfortunate that many players were injured, but he never arbitrarily used a player without a firm confirmation from the medical team and the player himself.
