Vietnam women's team did not have to bear the 'scariest' thing in Thailand: Organizing Committee acted at the right time

The Vietnamese women's team had their first training session in Chonburi (Thailand) just a few hours after arriving at the venue for women's football at the 33rd SEA Games.

The Vietnamese women's team eagerly entered the Legends Academy training ground.

After arriving at the Classic Kameo Hotel at 1:00 p.m., the Vietnamese women's team took the opportunity to recharge and check in to their rooms to rest. At exactly 5:00 p.m., the girls were called to gather to go to the Legends Academy Football Clubs training ground. It is known that this is one of three training grounds in Chonburi where the Vietnamese girls will practice during the competition at the 33rd SEA Games. The other training grounds include San Suk and Inter Banbueng.

It took the Vietnamese women's team 30 minutes to travel about 19 km from the hotel to the Legends Academy training ground. This training ground is located near Chonburi Daikin Stadium, where coach Mai Duc Chung and his team will play 3 group stage matches and possibly in the semi-finals. There was no traffic congestion along the way because the Chonburi government and the Organizing Committee have prioritized traffic routes to serve the women's football teams competing here. Therefore, the travel was very fast and on time to be present according to the training time from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm arranged by the Organizing Committee. This is also the time frame that the Vietnamese girls will play 2 matches against Malaysia (December 5) and the Philippines (December 7). Thus, the "scariest" thing in Thailand related to travel has been resolved by the SEA Games Organizing Committee.

The Legends Academy training ground is relatively stable and has good bounce, so the girls were confident in doing warm-up exercises and light exercises mainly to recover their physical strength after nearly a day of traveling and having to wake up before 4am. Coach Mai Duc Chung and his assistants advised the students to avoid unnecessary collisions and not to let unfortunate injuries happen. Coach Mai Duc Chung also reminded them not to be careless and lose their vigilance against any opponent. On the contrary, they must be extremely focused, always have a good competitive state and a stable mentality.

This stadium is about 38km from the hotel, taking 50 minutes to travel. Despite the long distance, the team's coaching staff still decided to practice 2 sessions. The training session tomorrow afternoon will be at Banbeung Stadium, 41km from the team's hotel, taking 51 minutes by car. The press conference before the match against Malaysia will take place on December 4.
