Round of 16 Asian Cup 2019: Captain Que Ngoc Hai arrives in Dubai with bruised eyelids

Just like previous trips, all logistics related to hotel accommodation and the team's training plan were coordinated by the Vietnam Football Federation and the Organizing Committee to ensure the most favorable conditions for Coach Park Hang-seo and his team.

Thanks to that, after 2 hours of traveling by bus from Al Ain to Dubai, the whole team only took a few minutes to receive the room keys, quickly settle down and enjoy a delicious lunch. At 5:00 p.m. this afternoon UAE time (8:00 p.m. Vietnam time), Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will enter their first training session in Dubai, preparing for the match against Jordan in the 1/8 round of the 2019 Asian Cup.

After officially qualifying for the knockout round, the players are in high spirits. More importantly, Coach Park Hang-seo will have the strongest squad at his disposal as no player is injured or has to sit out due to suspension.

The only case still in pain after the group stage is captain Que Ngoc Hai with a bruised left eyelid due to collision with strikers in the match against Iran.

The match between Vietnam and Jordan in the round of 16 will take place on January 20 at Al Maktoum Stadium and will be broadcast live on VTV5 and VTV6 channels.
