Vietnam National team came back home after the journey of 2021 and forward to new targets
In the morning of Dec 31, the Vietnam team came back home from Singapore, finished the journey of 2021 with the Bronze Medal of AFF Suzuki Cup 2020, and forwards to the targets of 2022.
Although couldn’t defend the championship at AFF Suzuki Cup 2020, this year 2021 was still a successful year of Vietnamese football with the first time joining in the 3rd Qualifier of World Cup and also the only ASEAN team in this phase. This is the opportunity for the players to get closer to Asia’s top-level, thereby improving Vietnamese football at the world level.
However, bundling out in the semi-final at AFF Suzuki Cup 2020 was a regret. In football, everything can happen, and sometimes losing is not a bad thing. It’s necessary for the team to review and learn from experience to become stronger in the next journey of 2022.
As the plan, during the quarantine after coming back, the team maintains practicing under the medical bubble principle. After that, the players will have a short time with family before the next gathering in the middle of Jan 2022, forward to the match with Australia in Melbourne on 27th Jan 2022 and the match with China in My Dinh Stadium on 1st Feb 2022 (Lunar New Year).
In 2022, the key mission of the Vietnam team is the championship of AFF Suzuki Cup 2022 at the end of the year.
