Before that, I felt a little worried because this year the format did not limit foreign players on the field, but that is why I have to try harder to overcome myself to compete as best as possible.
Personally, I am very excited to meet Ho Chi Minh City Police in the final because when facing this opponent, I will be able to compete with world-class quality foreign players. However, for now, I still need to focus on practicing in the upcoming semi-final against The Cong Tan Cang.
Personally, I think that the opportunity to defend the championship of Border Guard is possible because the whole team is very unanimous and determined".
Meanwhile, in the semi-final match of the women's event, VTV Binh Dien Long An and the Information Corps - Dong Bac Commercial Joint Stock also promise to create an exciting score race.

However, under the guidance of the famous coaching coach, Mr. Pham Van Long, Lam Oanh and his teammates always focus on high levels and discipline to themselves to implement the lesson plan given by the coaching staff.
The two teams that have tickets to the final match are LPB Ninh Binh (women's) and Ho Chi Minh City Police (men's). Both teams are also maintaining physical training as well as professionalism.

My team and I are eagerly waiting to see who our opponent is. But no matter which team, LPB Ninh Binh still has to try to do well, focus, fight with all their might and not be lax to get the best results.
We will watch the semi-final match between VTV Binh Dien Long An and the Information Corps - Dong Bac Commercial Joint Stock to review tactics and prepare more carefully. Every team wants to win the championship, so we have to fight to know which club is the defending champion".
