Fans welcomed the Gunners in a friendly and orderly atmosphere. Security guards on duty at the VIP gate did not have to work hard because everyone was aware of their image as Vietnamese Arsenal fans. The Arsenal players kept waving from the bus to show their friendliness towards their Vietnamese supporters. Do Xuan Quan, one of the fans, said: "I’ve been a fan of Arsenal for 5 years. I’m feeling amazed that I’m about to meet my idol. This is a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity and I will try to keep the image of Vietnamese supporters untarnished in their eyes.”
