A rampaging VB is taking local tournament Dhiraagu Dhivehi league by storm but their continental journey in AFC cup is horribly in disarray. Though difficult to believe they are exhibiting both the extremes – so colossal in domestic, yet whimpering in the international tourney. That is how you can sum up the fortune of present VB Sports.
They saw off Eagles last week by 9 goals to nil and this week it was yet another clean sweep. They thrashed AYL by 6 – 1. However they are ‘embarrassingly’ bad in the AFC Cup. On last Wednesday they came up against Hong Kong side they could have easily beaten. Yet the final score was VB-3, Pegasus 5. Before that they had lost against Song Lam Nghe An of Vietnam 1-3. Let alone home advantage they couldn’t hold on to one goal lead and defense made mess of everything. It is depressingly sort of understanding and weak, worse than last year.
The question is whether they can defend the local league title and the answer for many would be yes. But anything about AFC cup you will have to wait and see. Because to have any chance to qualify for the next round they have to win the next three matches and that would be no easy mountain to scale.
