Heartbroken U23 squad gets heroes’ welcome

(VOV) -Despite their loss at the AFC U-23 Championship in Qatar, plenty of U23 Vietnam fans turned out on January 21 at the Tan Son Nhat International Airport to welcome them back home.

After suffering another loss on January 20 in the last-round of Group D , the team ended at the bottom with zero points.

Fans vowed to help the shattered team overcome the psychological scars of their worst nightmare.

"There's a great spirit in the team here and we're extremely proud of their efforts," said Coach Toshiya Miura in an address to the fans gathered at the airport.
"The players represented the club with great pride at the tournament," Miura said.  “I will not criticise them as they played well.”

Xuan Truong received flowers from a fan.
