Former SLNA player Tran Dinh Dong: "Vietnam will beat Malaysia"
(Baonghean.vn) - The defender currently playing for FLC Thanh Hoa is impressed with the performances of Coach Park Hang-seo's team at the 2018 AFF Cup. He believes that with what they are doing, the Vietnamese national team will defeat Malaysia right on the Bukit Jalil stadium.
I am extremely impressed with coach Park Hang-seo and the Vietnamese national team in this AFF Cup. Under his leadership, our team has become a solid system thanks to the close connection between the lines and positions. The defense provides excellent support to the attack, and conversely, the attack actively participates in supporting the defense. Defeating the Vietnamese national team at this time is an extremely difficult task for all teams in Southeast Asia.

In my personal opinion, the Vietnamese national team will not face much difficulty due to the pressure from tens of thousands of spectators at Bukit Jalil Stadium. This pressure will actually motivate Coach Park Hang-seo's team to achieve a favorable result against the home team, Malaysia. As we have witnessed, the Vietnamese team consistently demonstrates its dangerous and effective defensive style combined with quick counter-attacks. Certainly, playing at home, Malaysia will have to push forward to find a goal. This will be an opportunity for our players to launch counter-attacks, similar to the match between the two teams in the group stage.

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