Coach Park Hang-seo said at a press conference after the 1-3 loss to South Korea: "We lost the match but I think the players played as well as they could. We will prepare for the bronze medal match right after this match."

"Losing to Korea is acceptable. The goal that narrowed the gap is also commendable. I thank my players for playing their best."

"I saw the players were nervous before the match and between the two halves, I told my players to play more confidently. After moving Dinh Trong to the middle to mark Son Heung Min, everything was better in the second half. I have nothing to say about the Korean players because I am the head coach of the Vietnamese national team at the moment. But I want to congratulate coach Kim Hak Bum and the Korean national team for reaching the final."

"I am proud of my players" - Coach Park continued.

Coach Park Hang-seo talked about not using Van Quyet and some other key players in the starting lineup: "When choosing the starting lineup, I am the head coach and I always base it on the best form and condition of the players. I take full responsibility for this decision. The result of the match is my responsibility."

Midfielder Minh Vuong, who scored the only goal for Vietnam, shared: “This was a very difficult match. Korea is very strong and the whole team tried their best. My teammates have played many matches so they are not in the best physical condition for this match. Son Heung Min is a world-class player. In Vietnam, Quang Hai plays intelligently and has a great influence on the team."

"I didn't fight for the free kick in the scoring situation. Once on the field, whoever is confident will take the kick and I took that free kick."

Speaking after the match, coach Kim Hak Bum of the Korean Olympic team had many compliments for Vietnam. "I think both teams played well in this match. I want to thank the players for their great efforts. In fact, the match was smoother than what we had prepared.

WithSon Heung Min, scoring goals is not the most important thing. His teammates trust him and he makes a big impact. Whether Son plays on the wing or in the middle is good for the team. There are no easy matches in the tournament, we are ready for each step. The players are quite tired but I believe they will have great motivation for the final match," coach Kim Hak Bum shared.

Meanwhile, double-scorer Lee Seung-woo was also happy to have reached the final of the 2018 ASIAD: "There were some players injured and the weather was quite hot, so it affected the match. We always trust our strikers, so in this match we were able to score early and win.

We are happy to have reached the final as our initial goal. I would like to thank my teammates. Because this match was against the Vietnam Olympic team with a Korean coach, we really wanted to win.

Any lineup depends on the coach, all 20 players contribute to the team and no matter who plays, we will give our best. The loss to Malaysia probably won't affect us. In the tournament, we have long-term goals, not a specific match. The important thing is that the Korean Olympic team can pass the group stage and reach the final."
