Coach Mai Duc Chung is proud despite losing to China
Despite losing 1-3, coach Mai Duc Chung believes that Vietnamese players showed their full potential against a top opponent in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Asian Cup women's tournament.
"I am satisfied and proud of this performance," Chung said after the match at DY Patil Sports Stadium. "We know China is stronger, has a higher level and is also superior in stature. They only had two easy matches in the group stage, while Vietnam faced very strong opponents. Therefore, losing 1-3 is commendable. I feel a little regretful about the penalty at the end of the second half. If successful, the close score will encourage the players in the next matches."

Coach Park Hang-seo adds central defender before China match

Viet Anh was added because central defender Que Ngoc Hai was infected with Covid-19. After a positive rapid test, the central defender from Nghe An continued to be tested by PCR and the result remained unchanged. Ngoc Hai will be tested again on January 31, but even if it is negative, it will be difficult for him to play because he has not practiced in the past few days.
Without Ngoc Hai, Coach Park is not too worried about the personnel problem for the central defender position. In addition to Viet Anh, the Korean coach also has Bui Tien Dung, Do Duy Manh, Tran Dinh Trong and Nguyen Thanh Binh. In addition, Pham Xuan Manh also played well when he was pulled in to play central defender in the recent match against Australia.
