Hà Nội có lập được kỷ lục “lịch sử”?

If overcoming Central Asian representative Altyn Asyr in the inter-regional semi-finals, Hanoi will still play the inter-regional final and then the real final of the AFC Cup 2019 with the West Asian champions. That is, according to the old format, Hanoi has only reached the quarter-finals of the tournament while 10 years ago B. Binh Duong used to make the semi-finals.

In the history of the AFC Cup, there is only one Southeast Asian club to the throne, that is Johor Darul Ta'zim of Malaysia in 2015. But this stage of the tournament is not only history, honor but every step. into the depths is ... "real fresh money". In addition to the funding to help move the AFC increased to 40,000 USD (about 900 million VND) after each round, with the passing of compatriot B. Binh Duong to be the champion of Southeast Asia after 10 matches, Hanoi has pocketed 100 thousand USD 2.4 billion). A number that is not small at all when it is almost equal to the prize money for the V-League championship (3 billion), which has had 26 matches in nearly a year.

If you continue to eliminate Altyn Asyr in the inter-regional semi-finals and then 2 inter-regional finals (with April 25, Korea or Dhaka Abahani, Bangladesh), Hanoi will receive another $ 100,000. Next, to win the final of the whole tournament against the West Asian champion (Al-Jazeera, Jordan or Al-Ahed, Lebanon), will be a "huge" amount of money up to 1 million USD (24 billion VND), losing also 750 thousand USD (18 billion). Thus, the AFC Cup 2019 champion team will receive a total of 1.5 million USD (about 35 billion VND), the runner-up team 750,000 USD (17.5 billion VND). Along with the image of Vietnamese football and the brand name of the club and sponsor promoted in the continent, teachers and coaches Chu Dinh Nghiem will also receive bonuses from VFF and especially "vote" Hien.

4 more games will be the "historical" record, both mentally and physically.

Talking with us, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem admitted: “Everyone knows, Van Hau has been a very important factor in the main team of Hanoi over the past time. The fact that he is not present will significantly affect the defense of Hanoi FC in the important period to come ”.

However, the head coach expressed: “Van Hau's arrival to Europe is a very rare and precious opportunity for himself, so we always create the best conditions for bridges. his prime. I really hope Van Hau will express himself, thereby creating opportunities for many other Vietnamese players to be paid attention by advanced football platforms. ”

Without Van Hau, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem said defender Van Dung will be the replacement. But what BHL Hanoi Club worries most is the lack of training force to prepare for the match against Nam Dinh in the next round 22. Accordingly, after the semi-final second leg of the AFC Cup, Hanoi has "discharged camp" until the afternoon of 3/9 will practice again. However, since the main faces of Hanoi FC are focusing on the national team and U22 in Vietnam, a serious shortage of troops during the round of 22 round match with Nam Dinh will take place on the afternoon of 9/11.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem expressed: “The preparation time for the game is not too late, but we are seriously lacking people because the players are focusing on Vietnam U22 team and the national team. So I am planning to call back the players who are focusing on the U22 team in Vietnam, because this is still a friendly match after all, while Hanoi FC if empty hands in the late game round 22 will surely affect. enjoy a lot to the championship race ”.

It seems that Hanoi FC is facing many difficulties, not just the absence of Doan Van Hau.
