Assessing the tense nature of the match, Mr. Kim said: “Tomorrow’s match will certainly be very difficult. There is no specific factor that guarantees victory. However, the players have prepared carefully and shown better and better performance with each match. Confidence is also increasing. If we play according to plan, I believe the whole team can achieve positive results, even a worthy victory.”
Speaking about physical and mental factors, coach Kim Sang-sik added: “We may be slightly better physically than Indonesia. But in a final match, physical strength is not everything. Competitive spirit will be the deciding factor. The team that is better prepared both physically and mentally will win.”
Also at the press conference, midfielder Viktor Le expressed his readiness and confidence before the decisive match: “We have prepared carefully for this tournament and have gradually entered the final. The whole team is feeling very good. After playing against Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines, we are familiar with the tournament and ready for the next match.”
Regarding his personal fighting spirit, Viktor Le shared: “In every match, I try to stay confident. I don’t think too much about scoring, because when you think too much, it will be harder for you to achieve that. I just want to go out on the field, enjoy the match and do my best. If I score, I will be very proud. If not, as long as the team wins, I am still very happy.”
At the end of the press conference, both coach Kim Sang-sik and midfielder Viktor Le emphasized the ultimate goal of bringing the championship trophy home to the Fatherland.
