Wuhan Jianghan vs Ho Chi Minh City Women's Team (3:00 PM, May 21st): Ready for battle

TPO - Although the overall level of Vietnamese women's football cannot yet compete with that of Chinese women's football, one of the "big four" of Asian football, the Ho Chi Minh City women's club is very ready for the match against Wuhan Jianghan.

The team places great emphasis on pre-match preparation and personnel deployment to achieve a breakthrough. In particular, the Vietnamese representatives are placing their faith in foreign players from the United States and Canada. This will be a major challenge for Wuhan Jianghan.

Even compared to their quarter-final match against Abu Dhabi, the Ho Chi Minh City women's club now boasts a stronger squad with five "mercenaries." This was noted by the Chinese newspaper News QQ: "It can be said that the Ho Chi Minh City women's club is dominating Vietnamese women's football, and it's difficult for any opponent to shake their position. In the Vietnamese national team, there are usually 8 or 9 players from the Ho Chi Minh City women's club, accounting for nearly half of the squad. Coupled with a quality foreign player base, they are truly very difficult to beat."

In the group stage and quarter-finals of this year's AFC Champions League, Ho Chi Minh City Women's team had 3 foreign players and 1 naturalized player, all from the United States. Specifically, Aubrey Goodwill played as a central defender; Chelsea Le played as a midfielder; and Sabrina Cabrera played as a central forward.

After the quarter-finals, Chelsea Le left the team because she needed to complete her studies, especially with exams at the end of May. But advancing to the semi-finals, the Vietnamese team welcomed a number of notable new players to fill this void, further expanding their squad options as they now have 5 foreign players and 1 naturalized player.

Along with several Vietnamese players like Huynh Nhu and Chuong Thi Kieu, the overall strength of this team is truly formidable. And they could threaten Wuhan Jianghan's ambitions.”

In the upcoming 90 minutes of competition, fans hope that the comments from the Chinese media will be reflected in the game on the field.
