The Vietnamese women's team is very focused, but also mentally relaxed when facing Myanmar.
"The hot weather has significantly affected the physical strength and performance of the whole team in the opening match against Malaysia. However, after this match with the victory, with a relaxed mentality and in the past days, we have gradually adapted. The entire Vietnamese women's team is currently in good shape and we are ready for the key match against the Myanmar team," midfielder Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy told the Vietnamese press at Acleda Stadium.

"With our opponent Myanmar, we were surprised when they defeated the Philippines 1-0. However, Myanmar women's football has also invested a lot and they have developed strongly in recent times. Facing this opponent will certainly be difficult. However, the Vietnamese women's team is very comfortable mentally and determined to enter the match to achieve the best result," Bich Thuy added.
