What did the Nepal Olympic coach say when he lost to the Vietnam Olympic team?
On the evening of August 16, Olympic Nepal lost 0-2 to Olympic Vietnam. Speaking to the press after the match, Coach Kozi Gyotoku praised the performance of Coach Park Hang-seo's students.
Before entering the match with Olympic Vietnam in the second match of Group D of men's football at ASIAD 2018, coach Kozi Gyotoku declared that he would play offensively to score goals.
But in reality, Olympic Nepal could not do that and accepted a 0-2 defeat.

Speaking after the match, coach Kozi Gyotoku expressed:
"My players tried very hard but it was not enough. Vietnam Olympic team played very well.
In the match against Olympic Japan, we focused on defense and played quite solidly. But in today's match, we want to create more pressure on Olympic Vietnam.
We wanted to score and get points so we exposed many loopholes. Congratulations on the victory of Olympic Vietnam."
Present in the press conference room, midfielder Chand Rohit - one of the over 23 names of the Nepal Olympic team, briefly shared:
"We know that Vietnam Olympic is very strong and understand their way of playing. We tried to limit the ability of Vietnam Olympic's attack but were unsuccessful.
We played better in the second half but still lost. Anyway, we still have a match ahead of us against Olympic Pakistan and we will do our best for our country."
I am happy with the way we played today.
