The Vietnam team has not conceded a goal after two matches, but that does not make them weak.Coach Park Hang-seoCompletely satisfied, he said: "Our defense in the last two matches still made a few mistakes, maybe because the players were not focused, those were not big mistakes but still caused danger to the Vietnam team's goal. I will have to remind the players to play more focused".

Indonesia is playing very strongly, however the team has conceded 1 goal and coach Park Hang-seo thinks that the defense is the weak point of the team from the archipelago.

"When playing against Cambodia, Laos will be different, Indonesia is a stronger team so they will play high pressing, proactively play offensive and attacking a lot also means facing risks. I do not mean to underestimate Laos or Cambodia, however, I think that playing against these two opponents and conceding goals, the defense is Indonesia's weak point. I hope they will play offensive in the next match, this is good for the Vietnam team", Coach Park Hang-seo continued to share.

Indonesian press said that with the absence of Nguyen Trong Hoang and Doan Van Hau, the two wings are the weak point of the Vietnamese team. In response to this information, coach Park Hang-seo happily replied: "If Indonesia thinks we are weak on the two wings, then please let them attack our wings."

Also at the press conference, center-back Bui Tien Dung said that Indonesia cannot be underestimated even though the team has many young players. He said: "Each match will have different difficulties. The victory over Malaysia showed that the whole team completed the strategy well and controlled the opponent. However, Indonesia will bring other difficulties. The Vietnamese team must always concentrate and be united."

"The Vietnamese team has been practicing recovery and reviewing their physical strength and tactics to prepare for the match against Indonesia. I did not start in the match against Malaysia due to the coaching staff's tactics. For matches, I am always ready to play, whether in the official squad or on the reserve team, I am always ready to show my best."

"The team achieved the desired result after the victory over Malaysia. However, no matter who the opponent is, the Vietnamese team always respects the opponent and tries to achieve the best results. We do not care if someone thinks we are the champion, the strongest team, we only care about achieving the best results in each match."

Indonesia played very aggressively against Vietnam, leaving many Vietnamese players bruised after the match. Bui Tien Dung commented: "Playing against Indonesia is always difficult because they have many fierce moves. We have played against Indonesia many times so we are no longer surprised and know how to handle the situation. Vietnamese players will know how to dodge attacks. There is still a referee in the match so the players need to know what to do and what to avoid."
