Ranganathan shortens the score

* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

Losing to host Uzbekistan in the first match made the door to the next round for coach Mai Duc Chung and his team very narrow. Therefore, the goal that the Vietnamese women's team set was to win against India before facing the number 1 team in Asia, Japan, in the final match.

The Vietnamese women's team (right) needs a win to regain their spirit.

The Indian women's team is currently ranked 61st in the world, 27 places lower than the Vietnamese women's team. However, under the leadership of coach Thomas Denerby (Sweden), the Indian women's team has shown progress with positive signs in recent times, most recently in the 0-7 loss to Japan in the first match of Group C.

Captain Huynh Nhu said the whole team has prepared well for the match with India, the coaching staff also has a strategy to aim for the best result against an opponent that the Vietnamese team has won against before but is making progress. Midfielder Bich Thuy said she and her teammates will enter the field with the highest determination to not let down the fans.

Regarding the match against India, coach Mai Duc Chung hopes that his players will overcome the defensive mistakes they made in the loss to Uzbekistan, need to pass the ball accurately from both sides and take advantage of opportunities better. If they defeat their opponents, this will be a gift of gratitude and thanks to coach Mai Duc Chung, who will say goodbye to the Vietnamese women's team after the tournament. "Everyone also talked and understood that this is the last tournament that coach Mai Duc Chung leads the Vietnamese women's team. So, we sisters also encouraged each other to try our best, put all our spirit and best concentration into the match against India and Japan to demonstrate the spirit of Vietnamese women," midfielder Bich Thuy shared during the afternoon training session on October 28.
