Coach Kim revealed how the Vietnamese team overcame the pressure?

The Vietnamese team fulfilled the requirement when defeating Indonesia to regain the top spot in Group B with 6 points, opening the door to the semi-finals, even opening the way to choose opponents for a further goal. Coach Kim Sang-sik said: "Indeed, the Vietnamese team did not play well against Indonesia in the previous matches.

In this match, I am satisfied with the result, and even more satisfied when the team did not have any injuries. Today, Indonesia played with a deep formation, so it was difficult for us to attack in the first half. The Vietnamese team tried hard and scored 1 goal to win the match. If I were to choose the best player of the match, I would choose Quang Hai because he led the team well and was the captain. I think everyone, like us, expected a goal. The audience and I really hope the team can score many goals, but in football, every goal is important. Quang Hai did this and brought home 3 important points. The audience is the factor that helps the team overcome the pressure."

Ahead of the Vietnamese team will be a busy travel schedule when flying to the Philippines for the match on December 18, then flying back to Vietnam, to Viet Tri City to prepare to welcome Myanmar on December 21. Mr. Kim expressed: "The teams are all facing a situation where the match schedule is tight, the players' health will be affected. I, the coaching staff, and the players all understand and agree on that, because "it's difficult for others, it's difficult for us". We will adjust so that the players can be in the best condition to prepare for the upcoming matches. The pressure in the matches will be reduced if we prepare carefully in all aspects".

For his part, coach Shin Tae-yong shared: "Indonesia has many young players, when playing there is a gap between your experienced players and our young players. The Indonesian players played their best and we learned a lot from this match. Actually, our team has not had enough time to prepare for the young players. It is difficult to apply certain tactics to the young players at this time. We need to train and guide them more and need more time. I will still prepare for the semi-finals and believe that the Indonesian team can go further."

After the match, the entire Vietnamese team rested early, to wake up and leave Viet Tri City at 5:30 today, December 16. From Noi Bai airport, the Vietnamese team will fly to Manila to prepare for the match against the host Philippines.

Today (December 15 - PV ) is a special day when for the first time my wife brought our son to the stadium to support their father in the match. I am very happy that they gave me a lot of motivation.

I would like to dedicate the goal to my son and wife, as well as all Vietnamese football fans. I think this victory gives the Vietnamese team a lot of confidence to move forward. Most importantly, the team has a lot of motivation for the upcoming matches," midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai expressed after the match.
