Bali United points out the strength of Than Quang Ninh FC

Bali United will be the first opponent Than Quang Ninh at the opening match of the AFC Cup 2020. This is a famous team in Indonesia with many national players and quality foreign players. On the contrary, this team also pays respect to Vietnam representative.

Before the confrontation between the two sides, coach Stefano Cugurra admitted to face difficulties in the research process of Quang Ninh Coal. After learning about this team, the Brazilian coach was especially impressed by the Jamaican foreign duo Jeremie Lynch and Diego Fagan.

"I don't have too much information about Than Quang Ninh. Through the videos I was provided, this is a strong, well organized team,'' Cugurra admitted.

But the most frightening Than Quang Ninh does not come from foreign soldiers. It comes from the support of many high quality Vietnamese players currently playing for the Northern team. Nghiem Xuan Tu, Mac Hong Quan or Nguyen Hai Huy have long been on the list of the best midfielders in the V-League.

“Jamaican foreign soldiers Jeremie Lynch and Diego Fagan are not the only strong points of this club. They also own many internal players who can pass the ball very well. So my team has a lot of effort to win the match in the group stage of AFC Cup 2020 .”

Than Quang Ninh will have a trip to Bali United on February 11. After this match, the team will return to their home country and practice to keep fit since tournaments in Vietnam are being postponed due to the Corona virus outbreak. This also changed the schedule for the AFC Cup of the team. Instead of playing at home, the team will have to play an away match against Ceres Negros FC on February 25.
