Laos national team coach: The class gap between Vietnam and Laos is quite large
Coach Ha Hyeok-jun highly appreciated the visiting team's players and said the class gap between Vietnam and Laos is quite large.
On the evening of December 8, the press conference before the match between Laos and Vietnam at the ASEAN Cup 2024 took place.
Sharing about this match, Mr. Ha Hyeok-jun - Coach of the Laos team said "I understand that the gap in class between Vietnam and Laos is quite large. We do not have any secret weapons or specific tactics for the match with the Vietnam team. The goal of the Laos team in the match on December 9 is to cause as much difficulty as possible for the Vietnam team".

In fact, the Laos team participated in this tournament with many young players. For the new coach Ha Hyeok Jun, this is an opportunity for him to monitor the actual performance of his new students, helping the players accumulate experience, serving the plan for the future.
At the pre-match press conference on the evening of December 8, coach Ha Hyeok Jun took the initiative to greet in Vietnamese and then started the conversation modestly: "We don't have much time to prepare for the match, but we will try our best to get good results, even though we know that the Vietnamese team is a strong opponent.

The draw against Thailand last month was a good result, but I am worried that my players might fall into a state of overconfidence. What they need now is to keep their feet on the ground. Regarding coach Kim Sang-sik of the Vietnamese team, he is younger but I respect him a lot. He and I are a bit different, while I am strong in details and he is strong in strategy."
Regarding the force, the Lao team currently has 4 players playing abroad but cannot participate in this tournament. However, coach Ha believes that focusing on the current generation of players is the most important.

Also attending the press conference, player Bounphachan Bounkong shared: "We know many Vietnamese players because we have met them many times. I also know that Vietnam has added many new players, including naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son. Honestly, I don't have much information about them. However, I believe the Laos team will play a good match tomorrow."
The opening match of the Vietnam team at the 2024 Southeast Asian Championship, against the Laos team, will take place at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow (December 9) at the Laos National Stadium. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are aiming for victory to create favorable momentum for the race to the top spot in the regional arena./.
