Park Heong-suk: It makes sense to defeat China on the first day of the Spring Festival The Vietnamese team will regroup in mid-March

After Vietnam's 3-1 home defeat to China, Vietnamese coach Park Heng-suk was interviewed by Vietnamese media.

"We've lost all seven games before and although the players are still united, we've been under a lot of pressure and fatigue for a long time. Today, on the first day of the Spring Festival, and on a very meaningful day, we defeated the Chinese team, which was the first time in the history of the Vietnamese team to defeat the Chinese team, and the first time that a Southeast Asian team won the final stage of the World Preliminary Round in the Asian region, I want to thank the fans for their support of the team. ”

"The fans may be expecting too much and expecting us to be able to make the World Cup? Perhaps because it has been 60 years since Vietnam last entered the final stages of the World Preliminary Round in Asia, we are asked to succeed again. We have been working hard, but it is too unrealistic to ask the team to win consecutively, we should judge the future by our own efforts, and the strength of the players is not only determined by winning or not. Once we fail to win, we are often criticized. ”

"After this game, the players will return to the club. In mid-March, our national team and the U23 national youth team will assemble, and in the round of 12 we have two games left against Japan and Oman, and the U23 national youth team will also participate in the Southeast Asian Games. After the SEA Games, I will focus on the national team. ”
