After the match, coach Kim Sang-sik shared about his players' performance.

"The large presence of fans at Binh Duong Stadium today is a great source of encouragement for the Vietnamese team. I would like to express my sincere thanks and consider this big win as a gift of gratitude to everyone. With such a result, I am completely satisfied. The only thing that makes me regret is not being able to create opportunities for more reserve players to play," coach Kim Sang-sik opened the press conference.

"Minh Khoa has performed excellently in the role of midfielder, with flexible and effective movement. I believe that the decision to choose him was completely correct. And I expect Minh Khoa to continue to develop and shine even more in the upcoming matches," the Korean coach continued.

Coach Kim Sang-sik continued to praise Minh Khoa, emphasizing the player's impressive performance in the midfielder position, especially his ability to move flexibly and effectively. He affirmed: "The decision to choose Minh Khoa was absolutely correct. I believe he will continue to improve and shine even more in the upcoming matches."

Also attending the post-match press conference, Van Vi, who scored twice, shared: "I feel very happy and joyful with the two goals scored. There is nothing to regret, only the joy of winning with the whole team."

Speaking about Van Vi, Coach Kim stated: "Van Vi showed impressive form at the 2024 ASEAN Cup and continued to maintain that in recent matches. Today's two goals are clear evidence of his sharp attacking ability. In a highly competitive squad, I prioritize using players who are in the best form."

Recently, defender Jason Quang Vinh Pendant has successfully naturalized. This helps the Vietnamese team have more options for the left-back position. Accordingly, Van Vi will have a formidable opponent, if both continue to play well.

"I appreciate Jason, he is a quality player. However, I think professional football needs healthy competition. The coaching staff will be the ones to make the final decision on personnel selection," Van Vi said.
