Former SLNA player Tran Dinh Dong: "Vietnam will beat Malaysia"

I am very impressed with Coach Park Hang-seo and the Vietnam National Team at this AFF Cup. Under the guidance of Mr. Park, our team has become a solid system thanks to the close connection between the lines and positions. The defense supports the attack very well and vice versa, the attack also actively participates in supporting the defense. Defeating the Vietnam National Team at this time is an extremely difficult task for all teams in the Southeast Asian region.

In my personal opinion, the Vietnam team will not face many difficulties due to the pressure of tens of thousands of spectators at Bukit Jalil Stadium, but it will also be a motivation for coach Park Hang-seo and his team to achieve favorable results against the home team Malaysia. As we have witnessed, the Vietnam team always shows danger and effectiveness in playing tight defense - quick counterattack. Surely when playing at home, Malaysia will have to attack to find goals. That is an opportunity for our players to launch "counterattacks", like the match between the two teams in the group stage.

As a player and a fan of the Vietnam national team who has followed the entire tournament, I believe that Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will have a favorable result against Malaysia in the first leg of the final. The form and fighting spirit of the Vietnam national team players are currently very high. The score could be 2-1 in favor of our team and the duo Quang Hai - Van Duc will continue to shine brightly. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will leave Bukit Jalil Stadium with a victory./.
