Coach Mai Duc Chung and the Vietnamese women's team are finalizing preparations before attending the 2023 Women's World Cup.
The positive results and performances during the training session in Europe helped the Vietnamese women's team create great confidence and pride among domestic fans, especially the narrow loss to the world's number 2 team, Germany, which has won the World Cup twice.
Coach Mai Duc Chung shared: "The training period in Europe helped the Vietnamese women's team improve a lot, enhancing both their expertise and fighting spirit.
Everyone encouraged each other to practice well and indeed the whole team showed very rapid progress. Facing strong opponents in Europe, the Vietnamese women's team united, overcame difficulties and demonstrated the spirit of Vietnamese women.
I also always encourage you to be confident, go out and fight with all your might, and not worry about anything. If you achieve results, it will be a joy for the whole team.

If there is any problem, as the head coach, I will be the one responsible. Each coach has his own way of communicating and motivating. I told the players that they are descendants of Ba Trung and Ba Trieu.
The times we are happiest and most joyful are when we go out to the field to salute the flag, we all have to fight with all our might, we do not produce material wealth but produce spirit to encourage our fellow countrymen and people.
The Vietnamese women's team's chances are very small, as they fall into an extremely difficult group E with two teams that reached the finals of the 2019 Women's World Cup, the US and the Netherlands, and Portugal from Europe.
Many fans even think that just having a positive performance and not having a disastrous 0-13 defeat like Thailand 4 years ago is enough to be satisfied.
The women's team is being actively supported by VFF and accompanying units such as TCP Vietnam and Red Bull.
However, coach Mai Duc Chung wants more than that: "Perhaps we all understand that the Vietnamese women's team is in the position of the underdog. Opponents like Germany, the US, the Netherlands... are all strong teams in the world.
However, through the recent friendly match with the German team, we are more confident that we can make our mark, thereby demonstrating the Vietnamese spirit in the world arena.
For example, Thanh Nha's recent goal is a lifelong mark. Not every player can do that, because the moment is just a flash.
With the upcoming World Cup, nothing can be predicted in football. Every match is an opportunity for the Vietnamese women's team to try to show themselves.

The whole team will take to the field with the spirit of Vietnamese women. We are very determined, not afraid of anything and will fight with all our might to bring glory to the Fatherland of Vietnam."
At the same time, the 74-year-old general did not forget to express gratitude for the preparations, contributions and encouragement of organizations and individuals who have always stood side by side with the Vietnamese women's team.
"When entering each tournament, the luggage we bring with us, in addition to professional preparation, is also great support from sponsors and fans.
It can be said that the Vietnamese women's team set off for the World Cup with a baggage full of emotions. Indeed, the long-term positive energy support from TCP Vietnam and the Red Bull brand is a great source of encouragement for us.
Coach Mai Duc Chung is completing the final preparations.
The timely rewards not only help to encourage their spirit, but also help them feel more secure financially so that they can practice and compete with peace of mind. During the recent training trip to Europe, the Vietnamese women's team received great attention from overseas Vietnamese.
When the team played in Germany and Poland, fans traveled from Berlin, Munich and other places to support us. Some traveled 7-8 hours.
That is what makes the Vietnamese women's team even more determined to bring the best performances, thereby repaying the love that the fans have for them. We are proud to compete under the enthusiastic cheers and affection of the fans," Coach Mai Duc Chung expressed.
