Mr. Dinh Hong Vinh commented: " We proactively implemented our playing style, organized tight defense and performed well in transition situations. This tournament helped the players gain more experience in international competition, especially how to deal with opponents with different physiques and playing styles. These experiences will be very important in the preparation process for the upcoming U23 Asian qualifiers and SEA Games ."
