Football has reported a conversation with Mr. Lam Quang Thanh - Deputy Director General Department of Sport, TTVN chief in SEA Games 26.
Only about three weeks, the SEA Games 26 competition will start the first subject is football. Time is running out, and preparations had to pen speed stage.

However, because many sport being cut BTC is the content of our strengths, so I predict we will win about 70 golds, which focused on athletics, shooting, taekwondo, karate, wushu, diving ... With 70 gold targets in this conference, I hope that Vietnam's sports delegation remains in top 3 ranking in the SEA Games.
Sports teams are entering Vietnam preparation for the SEA Games sprint

We can stand in the top three SEA Games, but players do not have official Olympic tickets to the 2012 winner. What do you think about this?
- Currently, we still face some expectations in the Olympic and subject-specific focus. But the fact is we still are and there are no specific plans to prepare for the big congresses world-class Olympic. The medal competition at the Olympic arena is fierce because it focuses on all the face of the world's leading sports, but we are still at the SEA Games record taken as a measure for the Olympics, it is difficult hope. In fact, the Olympic Games is still too high for our athletes.

So we will have a drastic change in the future for Vietnam's sport reach world-class?
- Of an Olympic cycle is four years, but the preparation for a conference such cycle lasted nearly eight years, and must focus specific to the particular strategy, but we have not yet done it.

SEA GAMES 26: By Indo, go - at all difficult

Each team member as well as the media TTVN will surely encounter difficulties on the way to the land of thousand islands.
Only 20 more days, SEA Games 26 will officially kicks off in Indonesia. But to complete the tasks set out, each team member as well as the media TTVN will surely encounter difficulties on the way to the land of thousand islands.

ROAD TO JAKARTA hardship, Palembang
Now, move it's quite a headache for TTVN Group. From Hanoi, can only fly to Singapore and then connect flight to Jakarta. But in Vietnam it is easier to have direct flights to Jakarta's AirAsia (www.airasia.com).

However, the most difficult stage is from Jakarta to Palembang, the official host venue. Indonesia has two domestic airline flights from Jakarta to Palembang is Garuda and LionAir. Ticket prices set at the time of Garuda (http://www.garuda-indonesia.com) for days to 9 / 11 and 23/11 is the date on more than 1.5 million Rupiah (3.75 million - at a rate equivalent to 2.5 copper Rupiah). As for cheap airline LionAir (http://www2.lionair.co.id), where the shortage is going well. Promotional price for return journey Jakarta - Palembang (about 1 hour flight) is still applicable cost nearly 1 million Rupiah (2.5 million).
If not moved by air, road travel can account for nearly a whole day with ferries, car very hard. To overcome this situation, the General Department of Sports is proposing to mobilize a Vietnam Airlines flight from Hanoi to Palembang on the opening day of the 26th SEA Games (11/11).

FIND DIFFICULT to reside
Currently, reservations for members of other delegations also TTVN troubled by the athletes village in Palembang only accommodate about 2,000 people. These individuals may not be considered in the athletes village will be hired at the hotel. However, even renting hotel is not easy when the number of qualified hotel in Palembang serve no more. BTC had to hire two ships of the Indonesian military to make accommodation for the team. Reportedly, only 12 phone such as athletics, swimming, petanque, weightlifting ... Vietnam was in the athletes village.
According to BTC list of offers, the media are classified in at Sheraton Media Hotel in Jakarta. Current listing price is lowest and the highest is 128 USD 298 USD / night.
Also in Palembang, BTC arranged for the media in the hotel's Horizon. However, the shortage of rooms is increased so that all requests for reservations should be made soon.

DIFFICULTIES WITH OUR
Concern is traffic congestion in Jakarta. To reduce traffic accidents, students and students in Jakarta will be off school for 5 days. Meanwhile, bad weather in Palembang is one of the most disturbing. According to weather forecasts, current temperatures around 24 degrees C in Palembang, but often with thunder and rain (floods often occur this time of year). And in Jakarta more stable with temperature around 30 degrees C. In addition to the above problem, Jakarta also face security situation. As a tourist country, Bali is an island country's most popular island and had a few thousand terrorist attacks here. However, security will not be worrying that the BTC will be combined with national police mobilized nearly 10,000 police on duty at the congress.

THINGS TO NOTE IN INDONESIA
As Wednesday populous country in the world with more than 245 million people, Indonesia has large Muslim community in the world. The strict Islamic world is also the problem that the members of the media TTVN and Vietnam should pay attention.

Do not shake hands active woman, two others in that private parties to avoid being misunderstood, not drinking alcohol in public places, not just point, comments on how to dress, speak of the Islamic teachers, not invite Muslims to eat pork and other food related ...

DID YOU KNOW?
Indonesia topped the overall most
The host Indonesia three times each sports organization in Southeast Asia in 1979 (the 10th SEA Games), 1987 (14), 1997 (19). All 3 times it will be hosted in the capital Jakarta. SEA Games 26 is the 4th country to host stand, but the city held a meeting to Palembang.

In addition, in 26 congresses, Indonesia was the top overall with nine times more in the SEA Games in 1977 was ninth with 62 golds, 41 silver and 34 bronze medals; SEA Games 10-1979 (92V, 78B , 51D); SEA Games 11-1981 (85V, 73B, 56D); SEA Games 12-1983 (64V, 67B, 55D); SEA Games 14-1987 (185V, 136B, 84D); SEA Games 15-1989 (103V , 77B, 71D); SEA Games 16-1991 (92V, 86B, 67D); SEA Games 17-1993 (88V, 81B, 84D); SEA Games 19-1997 (194V, 101B, 115D).

Real strange at SEA Games

Easy to find, BTC SEA Games 26 had a few good decisions, more harm and upset a lot of related arrays.
According to the latest report of SEA Games 26 BTC sent to Vietnam Television, schedule in football men will be adjusted, accordingly, Battle encounter U23 Brunei U23 Vietnam will be held on 8.00 am on 11 / 11, instead of 19:00 the same day. Decision unprecedented in the history of SEA Games and the very rare occurrence in the football world instantly cause discomfort for the players and the NHM.

The reason given is that the organizers do not want any sporting event happening right opening ceremony of SEA Games 26. This is true by opening and closing in any tournaments are magnificent art program should be the host to "breeze" with friends in the region and continent. However, instead of scheduling another direction, BTC SEA Games 26 to adjust the schedule of football men to 8:00 am - that never happens in this arena.

After the news, captain Tel U23VN Thanh Luong said: "I never heard an official league game again at 8:00. This is unscientific and circadian rhythms by overturn in the morning, your body more tired, not ready for heavy work. " Regarding time, both teams will be awakened at 4:00 am, eat and then move on the game field is defined by two hours before the game, the team must be present, as the registration process. With the reversal in activity and disadvantages in terms of time, the player will not play with all its capabilities, making the quality of the match certainly diminished.

Transfer V-League: The food is not all, who was not a

While teams such as KH or K. TDCS.DT still have to "tie shrimp fattening" the SG.XT, BD B. ... are bringing pressure to create a crisis of excess stars, with the dimensional contemporary artists in recent times.

It is easy to see the imbalance in the balance of the transfer of U.S. clubs. And it shows that the money race between the teams (such as club chairman said Le Tien Anh K. KH) is stops.

Sea dragons, tigers in the forest

B. BD inherently strong, even stronger now, with the appearance of names like Dinh Hoang La, Nguyen Hoang Helio, Vietnamese Nguyen Thang ..., all the money rate contract. That's not to mention the increase Tuan Quang Vinh, The Huy, Tung Tuan, Minh Duc has also been enhanced for next season. Meanwhile, SG.XT with Antonio Rogerio Nguyen, Dang Van Robert brought new ... as if they sprout wings. Many of the "Manchester City simulation" in the highest league in the S-shaped.


If Philani (center) was in court as a civil war in the 2012 season, B. BD will have considerable power. Photo: etc.

In the plan, Antonio will be U.S. citizen, a citizen when the mechanism is still open to all. And if the Brazilian players citizenship to succeed, SG.XT be played with at least 6 "West" in the starting lineup next season (before, they had Huynh Kesley Alves and Nguyen Rogerio). After HA.GL (2002) and HN.T & T (2009-2010), will again be SG.XT recruits candidates for the championship, as a matter of course-probably-certainly-accidental. Will never have to worry about a crisis of excess, when the team is being run concurrently with his Chief executive broker.

It can be seen, the biggest rival (in theory) capable of competing with the main SG.XT B. BD and vice versa. The ground team after they have Helio and Nguyen Hoang Dinh Hoang La, they are also very active completing the final procedures for the following year Philani able to play as a domestic player. For the first time after three seasons, the team of election Show (SHB.DN and HN.T & T) was inferior, at least in the stage of transfer, recruiting talented and ambitious upgrade. So it is necessary to mention the rest again?!

Champion will speak only what?

V-League in 2011, along with some excellent foreign soldiers, of Dong Tam was crowned football persuaded by rich Indians. In the history of 11 years V-League championship teams of Nghe An is more convincing, because it brought both regional pride and heritage and the role-the voice of youth training system ( even the title of the Port of Saigon in 2002, the predecessor of TMN.CSG and City Club, is not like that). Itself to neutralize the HN.T & T also acknowledged that, after the "final" Vinh Stadium.

With progress on the transfer market at present, once again, people do ask questions, champions league next year will be the one?! Not the Dong Tam Long, will hardly be a name that northern football, when both V. NB, Hanoi Football Club (merged from HP.HN and HN.ACB) and HP are no prove V. the ready. Forward to the start of the excavations as SHB.DN former King, HA.GL HN.T & T or much less, by the austerity policies of the mechanics who take, how costly season.

Through the prism and the assignment of preparing a frugal, B. BD has been expected as a top candidate for the championship. Of course, the team's ambition to become Prime land base than if they were brought in coach Henrique Calisto. Showing the 2 B. BD is naturally represented City, N. SG and SG.XT. With that, the remaining side, the KH K., Thanh Hoa, TDCS.DT, Hai Phong, Kien Giang K. or rookie will be the first name for the relegation battle for power. Time will answer satisfactorily.

Falko coach Goetz: I've got the team to SEA Games

VFF Cup 2011 ended, U23 team to Indonesia to prepare for the race at SEA Games 23. After the tournament, Mr. Goetz will finalize the list of 20 players with 3 goalie to put troops on the Ho Chi Minh train hit the road until the SEA Games.


"The match against Uzbekistan, I told the players that go on promoting the best and in fact, the players have done it in this match. The strength of Vietnam Tel U23 located in the observance of discipline strategies, and collective fighting spirit. However, the players need to improve the mental game. In this battle, Vietnam Tel U23 has to match the spirit of desire to win, a positive move in the dispute, but the observance of discipline in this game is not good.

Preparing for the SEA Games is the main purpose of falko Goetz coach and the players: "I do not think the players physical problems. In a game many collisions, many of mixed antagonists like fighting this battle, Tel U23 players worked hard and tried. Besides, we need to play more at fault, there are many mistakes need to edit. With the goal to win at the SEA Games, Vietnam Tel U23 has 8 weeks of training very hard and we will make the most of the remaining time to have the best preparation before heading to Indonesia. "

Besides the physical story, Mr. Goetz has said that definitely was not too big problem: "I do not think the problem in Tel U23 stage finish, we've scored 7 goals in 3 matches. However, the problem definitely needs to improve further, the players need to have more psychological confidence. Problem definitely also depends on the player through each battle, such as Trong Hoang, the game today, he had a very nice goal. "

It is particularly falko Goetz coach revealed that he had been shaped in part for the SEA Games squad and coach engaged in "core" list very soon: "I had basically the players best for a team competing in the SEA Games, but I can not disclose this to the press. After this tournament, I will have talks with the players not on the list to continue training with U23 Vietnam Tel. I will focus on a list of 20 players and three goalkeepers training in Ho Chi Minh City in preparation for the SEA Games. "

Thus, there will be three players were eliminated from the list after this tournament, U23 Training will include 23 players and will only have 20 players still stayed in the final list to be on the road with his SEA Games 26 falko Goetz.

Swansea v Stoke preview

Stoke boss Tony Pulis will hope he does not have further reason for complaint when he takes his side to take on a make-shift Swansea in the Premier League on Sunday.

In a debut European campaign, the Britannia Stadium boss has already become familiar with the age-old grumble of clubs who have the misfortune of playing away from home after midweek commitments.

Pulis aired his frustration ahead of Thursday night's Europa League victory over Besiktas about what will eventually be a scenario of eight domestic away games following continental matches.

And the Stoke manager will have further weight for his argument if his side were to suffer defeat against Brendan Rodgers' Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

The game has in some sections been billed as a beauty and the beast contest when comparing Swansea's attractive, passing football to the supposedly direct style favoured by Pulis' 2010/11 FA Cup finalists.

But Rodgers has played down the suggestions and is well aware of the threat Stoke will provide against his team, who have yet to lose at home in the Premier League since last season's Championship play-off final win.
Complaint

Midfielder Leon Britton is a fitness concern for Rodgers, as he is still struggling with the back complaint that saw him withdrawn early against Chelsea last weekend.

Striker Danny Graham could come back into the starting line-up in place of Leroy Lita, but midfielder Ferrie Bodde is set to undergo yet another operation in the latest setback to his recovery from a series of knee injuries.

Garry Monk and Ashley Williams are again the only fit centre-halves, with Alan Tate (broken leg), Steven Caulker (knee) and midfielder Kemy Agustien (hamstring) all sidelined.

Stoke winger Matthew Etherington will undergo a fitness test after he limped out of the 2-1 Europa League Group E victory over Besiktas due to a dead leg.

Defender Jonathan Woodgate is available again, having missed that game because he is not part of Stoke's squad for Europe, and the rested Asmir Begovic is set to return in goal in place Thomas Sorensen.

Salif Diao (fractured cheekbone) is another injury doubt, while Kenwyne Jones (hamstring) is not expected to make his comeback until after the international break.

Possible starting XIs

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor, Britton, Gower, Allen, Dyer, Lita, Sinclair.

Stoke: Begovic, Huth, Upson, Shawcross, Shotton, Delap, Whitehead, Palacios, Pennant, Crouch, Jerome.
