Snow falls white in Changzhou. |
After a mild day, today the weather in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province (China) has turned bad again. Heavy snow fell all night, covering the city in white. Temperatures have dropped. The country of one billion people is experiencing its coldest spell since 1986.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has not yet decided whether to postpone the match or not. They only advise fans to keep their ticket stubs, so that they can get a refund or use them for another day, in case the match is forced to be postponed due to weather reasons.
"We have not received any notice of postponement. Therefore, the whole team is still carefully preparing for the match," General Secretary of the Vietnam Football Federation Le Hoai Anh shared withVnExpress.
Preparations for the most important match of the tournament so far continue. Workers are clearing the pitch and stands.
The Vietnam U23 team also prepared new shoes. These are the type with duralumin studs (a type of lightweight alloy) to compete in snowy conditions. A day before, in Changzhou, Mr. Hoai Anh said: "We prepared at home, before coming here to participate in the tournament. Head coach Park Hang-seo personally checked the shoes of each player."
Compared to Uzbekistan players who come from cold countries, Vietnam will face many disadvantages if they compete in current weather conditions.
"Most of the Vietnamese players have never played in snow. This is a challenge. But we must have the spirit to overcome it and achieve good results in the final day," Cong Phuong shared.
