" All that information is in the past. Right now, we are focusing on the present, the players are mentally prepared and ready. Yesterday, I told the players that they must win, win, win. The players and I are trying to perform well in tomorrow's match ," coach Kim Sang-sik answered the question of whether the Vietnamese team is still afraid of the Thai team.
On the morning of January 1, a press conference was held before the first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between the Vietnamese team and the Thai team. Coach Kim Sang-sik and Pham Xuan Manh attended the press conference of the Vietnamese team. The Korean coach sent New Year greetings to fans, reaffirming the Vietnamese team's goal of winning the 2024 AFF Cup.
Coach Kim Sang-sik affirmed that he is not afraid of Thailand.
Coach Kim Sang-sik is confident as he has won many titles in Korea and has experience in finals both as a coach and a player. The Vietnamese team has many advantages as they have more rest than their opponents and do not have to travel far before the first leg of the final. Meanwhile, the Thai team has to play 120 minutes against the Philippines and then immediately go to Vietnam.
" I have had a lot of experience reaching the final as a coach. At this moment, as the head coach of Vietnam, it is my honor and the players are ready.
For the fans, we try to win to give them a gift in the new year. Thailand has a long match against the Philippines, then moves to Vietnam so the players are more or less affected. This gives the Vietnamese team confidence for tomorrow's match ," said coach Kim Sang-sik.
The Vietnamese team is preparing well for the 2024 AFF Cup final. Except for Van Toan and Tan Tai who have long-term injuries, the remaining players are in good physical condition and have recovered from their injuries.
The first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final will take place at 8:00 p.m. on January 2.
