Mr. Nguyen Cong Bay talked with the writer.

Reporter:Sir, before tonight's match, what has your family prepared to welcome neighbors to cheer for Cong Phuong and the Vietnamese team?

Mr. Nguyen Cong Bay:Tonight, our family will prepare a pot of delicious green tea to welcome the neighbors who come to cheer for the Vietnam team, along with some roasted peanuts, that's just the countryside, uncle.

Father and son of national team player Cong Phuong.

Reporter:In the previous match, were there many neighbors coming to cheer? And in tonight's match, to welcome the neighbors, should we bring the TV outside or keep it inside the house?

Mr. Nguyen Cong Bay: The previous match had about 50 to 60 neighbors cheering. Tonight the TV screen is in the house, I will move out the tables and chairs and spread out mats in both rooms of the house for everyone to watch.

Reporter: How did you and everyone else feel when the Vietnamese team scored the equalizer in the previous match?

Mr. Nguyen Cong Bay: Everyone jumped up and cheered, an extreme joy. Cong Phuong's equalizer contributed to the Vietnamese team's spirit and confidence to win after the 11m penalty shootout.

Reporter:So sir, in tonight's match Vietnam will have to face a very "tough" opponent, so what is your prediction for this match?

Mr. Nguyen Cong Bay: The Japanese team is a very strong team, one of the top teams in Asia. I think that before this match, the spirit of the Vietnamese team will be more relaxed than the Japanese team. The players will affirm the spirit of determination and victory of Vietnam, and will do their best to win the right to enter the semi-finals. The Vietnamese team will take advantage of good opportunities to score..

Reporter: In your opinion, what will be the score in this match? Will Cong Phuong continue to score another goal in this highly anticipated match for Vietnamese fans?

Mr. Nguyen Cong Bay:With a relaxed spirit, the Vietnamese players will score first, the match score will be 2-1 in favor of the Vietnamese team. The first goal will be scored against the Japanese team in the second half. My hunch from yesterday until now is that my son Cong Phuong will continue to score goals.

Reporter:Yes, thank you for this interview. I hope your “premonition” will come true, Cong Phuong will continue to score, and the Vietnamese team will win!

Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, Cong Phuong's mother, said that she does not know much about football, so she does not know how strong Japan is, but this mother from Nghe An still believes in a victory for the Vietnamese team.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa - Cong Phuong's mother hopes her son will enter the field and score.

“The previous teams also said they were very strong, but Vietnam still won. So if the players play really well in this match, they will win,” said Ms. Hoa.

Regarding whether Cong Phuong will be able to play or not, Ms. Hoa believes in coach Park Hang-seo's decision. "I also want Phuong to play and score like the previous match, helping Vietnam win," Ms. Hoa said.

Predicting the result, Ms. Hoa thinks that Vietnam will win with a score of 1 - 0.
