Responding to his colleague, Coach Kim Sang-sik said: " I agree with this (the tight AFF Cup schedule). The Indonesian team just met Laos 2 days ago and immediately went to Vietnam, so their physical condition is not guaranteed. But in this tournament, the teams' schedules are the same. Tomorrow after the match, we also have to move to the Philippines for the next match. My plan is to rotate the squad to achieve the best results in the matches ."

At the beginning of his press conference, the Korean coach thanked the media and fans for always supporting the Vietnamese team. The match against Indonesia is very important and the players are preparing well for this match. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are confident of winning 3 points.

The winning score is not important to Mr. Kim, the Vietnamese team only needs to get 3 points.
" We know that Arhan and Indonesia players have good throw-in ability, this is also their important card. The whole team has prepared and determined not to concede goals in such situations, " said Mr. Kim.
Meanwhile, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai believes that each team has different strengths and weaknesses. Not being able to play in the match between Vietnam and Indonesia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Quang Hai is focusing on his maximum and waiting for the opportunity to play in the 2024 AFF Cup. He and his teammates have the best preparation for the tournament.
" People see me as smaller, but I see many bigger things. That is, the whole team has greater determination and higher concentration. We must show solidarity, determination, and effort in each match to be able to achieve favorable results.
In the past few days, the Vietnamese team has been training comfortably and receiving the affection of the people of Phu Tho. We will try our best to give our fans the best performance. I think there is no difference when training and competing in Phu Tho or Hanoi ," Quang Hai said.
