V-League champs put last weekâs AFC Cup loss behind them
Published: 16/03/2009 05:00
V-League champions Binh Duong are quietly confident of victory against Maldivesâ club Valencia today in the 2009 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup despite their 1-2 away loss to Singaporeâs Home United last week. | |||||||
Coach Francisco Vital says his team will neither look at the visitors as underdogs nor be too cocky even though Valencia lost 1-3 at home to Thailandâs PEA last week. However, the Portuguese tactician says there is no reason why his team wonât play well against a side from a country where the level of football is lower than Vietnamâs. Additionally, Binh Duong need a win to keep their spirits up for the next V-League encounter with Dong Tam Long An, especially after having lost three times in four matches. In Binh Duongâs match against the Maldivesâ New Radiant in the 2008 Binh Duong Television Cup, the local team cruised to a 5-0 victory. Even so, Vital warns, the Maldivian players are very strong. They just donât play very well. Binh Duongâs managing director, Tran Van Duong, is confident too. âOn paper, Binh Duong is better, and we want to regain our reputation after the recent defeats. Still, we wonât be too confident because Hoa Phat Hanoi lost 0-2 at home to the Maldivesâ Victory Club two years ago while the home team was considered a better side,â Duong said. Valenciaâs coach Dzurjak Jozsef says that his team are not as good as the Thai or Vietnamese sides but they will try their best for a draw today anyway. Meanwhile, Vietnamâs National Cup holders Hanoi ACB will play Hong Kongâs Eastern Athletic, who lost 1-4 to Thailandâs Chonburi FC last week, while the Vietnamese side will start the game in a confident mood after their 3-1 opening victory over Malaysiaâs Kedah.
