Coach Park is not satisfied despite the big win over Indonesia
"The opening match is always difficult, but the Vietnamese players have tried their best and achieved a worthy result. There are many matches ahead, and we will try to achieve the best results," Coach Park shared at a press conference after the match at Viet Tri Stadium.
"After 60 minutes, I noticed Indonesia's physical strength was declining. In the first half, the players played with concentration. During the break, I told them to continue to maintain it. The first tactic had to do with Van Tung. He was good but lacked a bit of experience. I brought in Manh Dung. I also changed between Van Xuan and Van Do. Van Xuan had been practicing on the left wing recently but also played well on the right wing. I changed wings and they played well, thanks to that Vietnam had a successful match."

Regarding the overage players, he said: "When choosing the positions of the overage players, we aim to fill the positions that the young players lack. They have experience, compared to the young players, as I said, they lack practical experience. They play a lot on the national team, they understand the tactics. On the field, they often cheer on the young players. They bring a positive influence to the team."
