The world's 5th highest scorer praises the Vietnam National Team

Striker Sunil Chhetri, the world's fifth-highest scorer, highly appreciated the strength of the Vietnam national team before the match against India.

“We have to really get back to our best form, we have to improve ourselves against Vietnam. We have to really work hard. The next match will not be like when we played against Singapore,” India’s top scorer said.

“We watched the match where Vietnam crushed Singapore 4-0. They are really a very good team, especially when playing at home. They are one of the most impressive teams in Asia in the last 5 years,” Sunil Chhetri shared before the match against Vietnam in the final round of the international friendly tournament - Hung Thinh 2022. Chhetri affirmed that if they continue to play like they did against Singapore, India will have to pay the price against Vietnam. Because he believes that with a superior force to Singapore, home advantage and sharper playing style, Vietnam is capable of defeating India.

Thailand must use bonuses to "stimulate" players at King's Cup 2022

It was a rather "embarrassing" truth when host Thailand had to admit to using hot bonuses to "stimulate" the psychology and motivation of the players in the final match of King's Cup 2022.

After losing to Malaysia in the first match, fearing that a domino effect might occur, destroying the players' fighting spirit, leading to Thailand losing to Trinidad & Tobago, Madam Pang offered a reward of 2 million baht (about 1.2 billion VND) to give the whole team more motivation to compete. Fortunately for Thailand, they won 2-1 after 90 minutes of play. Despite winning 3rd place, Coach Polking and his students still could not avoid public pressure.

It should be emphasized that before entering the tournament, the home team set a goal of winning both matches to improve their ranking on the FIFA rankings, but in the end, they were deducted points and dropped from 111th to 112th in the world. Even coach Polking was under a lot of pressure when he did not call up two players who played successfully, helping the home team win the AFF Cup 2020 held at the end of last year, midfielders Sarach Yooyen and Teerasil Dangda.
