Hoang Thi Loan admits her own mistakes in the loss to Portugal, actively preparing for the final match

Due to having to travel from Hamilton City to Auckland City, instead of the usual morning training session after each match, the Vietnamese women's team was arranged by the coaching staff to practice in the evening. Continuously practicing during this time frame will also help the players adapt better to the cold weather in the evening in New Zealand.

Hoang Thi Loan, the team representative, responded to the media.

During today's training session, defender Hoang Thi Loan, representing the team, shared: "At the end of the match with Portugal, I felt very sad because I tried very hard but just a few unprepared situations caused the team to concede an undeserved goal. The atmosphere of the whole team was really not as happy as after the match with the US. Although we played our best, the team still did not follow the coach's tactics."

"We will continue to play our best in the final match of the World Cup with the highest fighting spirit! I think the coaching staff will calculate to have a suitable lineup to play against the Netherlands, aiming for a good result" - Hoang Thi Loan added.

This is a rather special stadium among the 4 stadiums hosting the 2023 Women's World Cup in New Zealand. Forsyth Barr Stadium is also known as the "Glass House" with a closed space covered by a glass roof.
