Coach Park Hang-seo thanks his players
When asked about Vietnam's opponents in the final, Coach Park Hang-seo appeared quite calm: "Before going to Thailand, I received a lot of criticism for my personnel selection. This is not my biggest goal, my ultimate goal is the World Cup qualifiers. We have not yet decided which personnel we will choose for the final match (against Curacao). I will need to discuss this further with my assistants."
Recently, Coach Park Hang-seo has had consecutive victories against Thai football at the two highest levels, but for him, everything is quite normal: "I am currently in charge of the Vietnam national team and the Vietnam U23 team, not that winning against Thailand is a special thing for Vietnamese football. In every match, we will try our best to promote the Vietnamese spirit and achieve the best results."

Coach Park Hang-seo seemed quite happy with his student Nguyen Tuan Anh, who was recently called up and played nearly 90 minutes on the field: “After a period of injury, Tuan Anh tried to regain his form today. Tuan Anh is a talented player and today's match proved his talent. In the future, if he can adapt to the team's tactics, he will be a quality addition to the team.”
"It must be said that the King's Cup is a long-standing tournament and winning against Thailand is not an easy task. I would like to thank all the players for their efforts" - Coach Park did not forget to thank his players before leaving the press conference room.

In an interview after the match, Coach Sirisak said that this was an unfair result for Thailand. "Our team created more chances. But the only goal in injury time by Vietnam made us lose the match. This is an unfair result. But anyway, we need to forget today's defeat and look forward to the future."
"I don't think Vietnam is the absolute number 1 in Southeast Asia. In the second half, we controlled the ball more but conceded a goal. That's football. You can't say Thailand is only number 2 after a loss."
