Vietnam team is the strongest in the region, but...
In the press conference before the match on the afternoon of March 18, coach Koji of the Cambodian team commented: "Our goal is to win. This is a difficult task. The Vietnamese team is the strongest in Southeast Asia, and is the current champion. We have not fully prepared but we also want to show Cambodian fans the strength of the team. The goal is to help the team win, but besides that, I want the team to gain experience when playing against the champion. I want to see what we can do, what we cannot do, that is more important. Now do not think about the result.
I watched the video of the Vietnam team's match, especially the match against Thailand. Through that match, I saw the strength of the Vietnam team, the good organization of the match and their deserved results. In the AFF Cup 2024, we played not badly but did not have good results against Thailand, Malaysia, ... However, we also showed our strength. I look forward to tomorrow's match."
Center-back Kan Mo also shares the same opinion as coach Koji. He said: "The first thing I want to share is that I respect the Vietnamese team. They are a strong team, performing well at the AFF Cup 2024. However, we are confident and trying to follow the coach's tactics. We also had time to get into the rhythm together and try to show our strength in tomorrow's match."

In the AFF Cup 2024, Xuan Son is the most outstanding player, so many teams want to face this striker. However, the Brazilian striker has not yet recovered, which makes coach Koji feel regretful.
The captain of the Cambodian team said: "I want the team to have a chance to compete with Xuan Son, so that my players can compete and compete with Xuan Son. Unfortunately, he cannot play. However, the Vietnamese team has another player who plays well, but I can't remember his name, there is a player on the left (Reporter: Hoang Duc) who plays well. Coach Kim Sang-sik is Korean, he has organized the Vietnamese team very well, especially the victory against Thailand, a team led by a Japanese coach. That victory affirmed the Vietnamese team's position as number 1 in Southeast Asia."
Meanwhile, Kan Mo commented simply when asked about the Vietnamese team's attack: "You have young and strong strikers. This is a good thing for the Vietnamese team."
