On the afternoon of January 5, a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper was present at striker Tien Linh's house in Binh Duong, recording the atmosphere of cheering for the Vietnamese team before the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final.
Striker Tien Linh's home is Ngoc Lan Coffee Shop in An Phu Ward, Thuan An City, Binh Duong Province. This is a familiar place for workers in An Phu Ward, Thuan An City to cheer for the Vietnamese football team.
Mr. Nguyen Tien Quyen (48 years old) said that his wife and son went to Thailand to cheer for the Vietnamese team in the second leg of the final against Thailand.
Due to the nature of his work, Mr. Quyen did not go to Thailand but stayed home to sell coffee and turn on the TV with the workers to cheer for the Vietnamese team.
According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Quyen, this year's tournament is quite dramatic. Although the Thai team played solidly and very evenly, Mr. Nguyen Tien Quyen still hopes that the Vietnamese team will continue to win in the second leg of the final match taking place tonight.
"This year, with player Xuan Son playing, the excitement has increased. Moreover, with such a good player, the other players will also try harder to play to the best of their ability. I hope all the players will play bravely, with 200% of their form. The players will score goals and bring victory to the Vietnamese team. I predict the match score will be 1-0 in favor of the Vietnamese team and Xuan Son will be the player who decides the match" - Mr. Nguyen Tien Quyen commented.
