One day before the 2024 AFF Cup final, host country Thailand has prepared the championship music for... the Vietnamese team.
The Vietnamese team is facing the opportunity to win the AFF Cup for the third time. The 2-1 victory in the first leg is a relative advantage for Kim Sang Sik and his team before the second leg. Even though they have the home advantage at Rajamangala, the Thais have prepared a scenario for finishing second, as well as a way to congratulate their opponents.
Vietnamese reporters working at Rajamangala recorded this "special signal" when the stadium's Organizing Committee played a very familiar part of the song "Vietnam, Oh" yesterday afternoon.From the green fields with the fragrant scent of rice/To the place where tall buildings and cars line the streets/A belief sings eh oh eh oh/From the far away island with immense waves...". Those are the lyrics that make any fan feel excited.
"Vietnam, oi" (composed by Minh Beta) is an extremely familiar song, associated with the extremely impressive achievements of the Vietnamese team under the reign of Park Hang Seo such as winning the AFF Cup, winning the gold medal at the 2019 and 2021 SEA Games, runner-up at the 2018 U23 Asian Cup, semi-finalist at the 2018 ASIAD and quarter-finalist at the 2019 Asian Cup. The fact that the Rajamangala Stadium Organizing Committee prepared the championship music for the Vietnamese team is a great respect for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team.
Of course, when the ball has not yet rolled, any scenario can happen. The important thing is that our Vietnamese team must try our best and have a reasonable strategy to be able to protect the achievements gained in the first leg. The opportunity is right in front of us, we just need to seize it.
