In his speech to his players after the 2-0 victory over the Philippines, coach Philippe Troussier said: "We all know that in October, the team played 3 matches, although there were good points in terms of skills, the results were not as expected, so the whole team was under pressure. Today's task is not only to win, but also to make the players more confident.
From this victory, we can realize that what we have tried on the training ground has helped us succeed. You need to realize that. Congratulations to everyone, you have tried your best from the first minute to the last minute."
