On the evening of March 18, at Go Dau Stadium (Binh Duong), a press conference took place before the friendly match between Vietnam and Cambodia (7:00 p.m. on March 19).
In his response, coach Kim Sang-sik said he wanted to win because this was the first match of the Vietnamese team since winning the 2024 AFF Cup.
"In this training session, we also called up many new players so we want to test them to evaluate their abilities," said Mr. Kim.
Evaluating Cambodia, the Korean captain said that the opponent has many naturalized players, but he and his students are not too concerned about that.
"I know Cambodia has many naturalized players from Japan or Africa. Among them, striker Coulibaly scored 2 goals at the 2024 AFF Cup. But I believe our defenders will control well.
We also don't need to focus on any particular player, but will show the audience how we have prepared," Coach Kim expressed.
However, Mr. Kim also admitted that Cambodia and other Southeast Asian teams are getting stronger thanks to naturalized players, so the Vietnamese team will have to try their best if they want to win.
Also at the press conference, coach Kim Sang-sik expressed his desire to continue bringing exciting matches to fans.
"After the AFF Cup 2024, I clearly feel the love and expectations from the fans. My goal is to continue to bring quality matches, aiming for greater success for Vietnamese football," Mr. Kim affirmed.
