Chapter 233: The first game of the AFC Champions League

At 7 p.m. on February 24, 2015, at the Binh Duong Stadium in Tulong Mu City, Binh Duong Province, Vietnam, nearly 20,000 home fans were ready to cheer for the upcoming AFC Champions League Group E group stage, they love football, today is their holiday, not to mention that this is Binh Duong has once again entered the AFC Champions League since 08, and the fans believe that this time Binh Duong is stronger and will have better results.

Football is extremely popular in all countries of Southeast Asia, except for the Philippines, which is the number one sport in every country.

For example, Thailand is the country with the highest cost of buying Premier League rights outside of the United Kingdom, and Premier League teams go to Thailand every year to make money.

In order to develop Thai football, the Thai Football Association specially invited Japanese football experts to formulate a youth training plan for Thailand, which is almost a complete copy of Japan's youth training.

This is still very interesting, there are a large number of fans in China, watching the Japanese team being abused in the World Cup, they automatically become Germans and Brazilians, and disdain Japanese football.

Then I watched the World Cup match of the South Korean team, but I was still not satisfied, and felt that South Korea was also guilty of going to the World Cup.

However, the Japanese coach the Thai youth team, and Thai football is developing by leaps and bounds.

Last year's Asian Games, China's Olympic Games lost 0:2 to Thailand's Olympic Games, Thailand's Olympic Games were fully dominant in this game, and China's Olympic Games had almost no chance.

Southeast Asian football is on the rise, and the Chinese team has never really risen in the past or now.

China's economy is now better than most Southeast Asian countries, and the investment in football leagues is much greater than that of ASEAN countries, but in terms of enthusiasm for football, the Chinese are far less than their southern neighbors, such as Vietnam, and almost all the people are crazy football.

Vietnamese fans prefer La Liga to Thais, and almost every boy knows Real Madrid and Barcelona, Messi and Ronaldo are the idols of most boys.

In order to develop Vietnamese football, the Vietnam Football Association once vigorously planned foreign players, but in recent years, Vietnam's national pride has increased a lot, so the Vietnamese national team has begun to not recruit planning players, but there are still many planning players in the Vietnamese Super League. In addition, the Vietnam Football Association also attaches great importance to the youth league, which has six youth leagues for six age groups, and children play thirty or forty games a year from the age of six.

As you can see from their youth league, the Vietnamese government really attaches great importance to football and has made great progress.

Last year, the Vietnamese Olympic team defeated the Iranian Olympic team 4:1, and the Chinese Olympic team had a 0:0 draw with the Iranian Olympic team before that, and both teams were in the top 16 at the Incheon Asian Games.

In terms of style of play, Vietnamese players are the same as Southeast Asian players in their impressions, with excellent small skills, good ball control, and flexible bodies, but the disadvantage is that they are not good at physical confrontation and physical fitness is not good enough.

Fighting technology, Chinese players are not necessarily better than Vietnamese players, but physical confrontation is definitely a grade ahead of Vietnam, so the Chinese men's football team has always played the Vietnamese men's football team, and it is a long pass from the side to the backfield, that is, to find a center forward, or to smash it with a header.

The effect is good, the Chinese men's football team can happily take points from Vietnam every time, and many times it is a big score to end the game.

Yasen decided to learn from the experience of the Chinese men's football team, so after arriving in Vietnam, Yongchang's pre-match training was to find Mulenga with a long pass.

Li Yun can't head the ball or play long balls, which Yassen knows very well, and his request to Li Yun is for You Ge to look for opportunities behind Mulenga.

However, there are only two days to train new tactics, and at present, the training effect is average, not that Mulenga is not capable, but that the Yongchang team is not tacit enough, and in the 14th season, Yongchang mainly focuses on ground advancement, rarely plays long passes, and the players have not changed for a while.

But after all, the national football team has maintained a record of winning all victories against the Vietnamese national team in the past 20 years, and in the 08 AFC Champions League, Changchun Yatai defeated Binh Duong with a total score of 7:2 in two games. Therefore, whether it is Li Yun or Li Chao, they are full of confidence, and they believe that Yongchang can continue the tradition of Chinese teams not losing to Vietnamese teams.

Binh Duong head coach Nguyen Thanh Son is also very confident, Vietnam's Binh Duong, known as Vietnam Chelsea, has six foreign players in the team, all of them are black and hard, and he believes that these fast and strong foreign players can bring a threat to Vinh Chang.

There is another advantage that Nguyen Thanh Son values very much, that is, Vietnam's Binh Duong did not enter the group stage directly, it also came up through the play-offs. And the Vietnam Super League started on the 4th of last month, Vietnam Binh Duong has played 8 games before this game, it entered the game early, Nguyen Thanh Son feels that Binh Duong's current state is definitely better than Yongchang in winter training.

So at the pre-match press conference, Nguyen Thanh Son smiled and said: "Binh Duong hopes to get points at home, we don't want to qualify, but we must play every game well." Yongchang has Chinese international Li Yun, I know him, he is very good, he is the MVP of this year's Asian Cup, but we have already thought of a way to deal with him, believe me, Binh Duong will not disappoint the fans. ”

Li Yun didn't know what method Ruan Thanh Son would use to deal with him, he only had one thought now, that is, Vietnam was really hot.

The temperature in the stadium was about 30 degrees, and the humidity was more than 70 percent, Li Yun was wearing short-sleeved shorts, he still felt very hot, and he was sweating before the game started, he couldn't help but complain: "Nima's, is there winter in Vietnam?" ”

"No, there is only summer in Vietnam." Mao Jianqing laughed on the side.

Long Dong stood next to him, although he didn't know what Li Yun and Mao Jianqing were talking about, but he felt that he understood what Li Yun meant, he smiled and said in English: "It's really unimaginable, it's still snowing in Shijiazhuang, and there are still thirty degrees at night here, Asia is really big!" ”

Mulenga grinned, "It's about the same as my house, and I like the weather. ”

Li Yun continued: "Then you will definitely have a good performance." ”

"Absolutely."

Yasen saw several frontcourt players chatting warmly on the sidelines, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

There is no doubt that the introduced Longdong Mulunga and Mao Jianqing are better than the players who have been in the opposite position before, and they still don't have a tacit understanding with Li Yun, but they both understand the importance of being familiar with their teammates, so they will chat together intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Yasen very happy.

In this game, Yasen arranged several offensive players who had just joined on the field, although the game has not yet started, but at present, the effect is passable, and this game is worth looking forward to.

When Yasen's confidence was getting stronger and stronger, the referee Sivir blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the 2015 AFC Champions League Group E group stage, Vietnam Binh Duong VS Shijiazhuang Vinh Chang officially began.
