"The Thai teams have lost to Vietnam in the past 2 years. Therefore, we need to win this match to regain the honor of Thai football," Goal quoted Chairman Buriram United.
Newin Chairman has a reason to declare so eloquently because besides the home field of Chang Arena, Buriram United in the next match will have the service of Supachok and Suphanat. The duo immediately practises and ready for the match in the second round of AFC Champions League qualifiers.
Not only President Newin, coach Bozidar Bandovic is also confident in the opportunity of the home team. However, the Serbian coach still holds a certain respect for the HCMC club.
"We have to respect every opponent. The HCMC club is a good team and not easily to be defeated. The whole team needs to play focused, especially when playing at Chang Arena at the sight of thousands of spectators", Coach Bandovic said.
"Since I started working with Newin, I have learned a lot from him. Buriram United always wants to win, not just in the next match or in front of Vietnamese teams. Our philosophy is to play attacking and win," he asserted.
In the 2019 season, Hanoi and Bangkok United clubs are representatives of Vietnam and Thailand attending the second qualifying round of the AFC Champions League. The representative of Vietnam won with a score of 1-0 and entered the play-off round against China's Shandong Luneng Club.
The winner of the match between Ho Chi Minh City Club and Buriram United will also face another Chinese representative, Shanghai SIPG. This is the third-ranked team in the Chinese Super League 2019 and owns many popular stars such as Hulk, Oscar, Marko Arnautovic.
If they pass the play-off round, Ho Chi Minh City club or Buriram United will be in Group H at the AFC Champions League 2020 with Sydney FC, Yokohama Marinos and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. The team that loses in this match will play in the AFC Cup 2020.
