What did coach Park Hang-seo and U23 Jordan coach say after the goalless draw?

Coach Park Hang-seo shared: "Before that, UAE won against North Korea so we had to win this match, but the reality is we only have 1 point. The goal was 3 but only 1, so we accept it because that is the best result. Thank you to the players for playing very hard."

"Throughout the match, we had a good tactical approach but could not score. In the final situation, it was up to the players to shoot or pass and score, which I could not intervene in. We had clear opportunities to score and that was the most positive thing," Coach Park continued.

Answering the question about the improved play in the second half, Coach Park said: "The Vietnamese team has some players without international experience, so I have to work from the beginning on psychology, build confidence for the players and have to wait about 60 minutes, when the opponent is tired, then the players can develop what I require and instruct."

Regarding the possibility of advancing, the Korean coach said: "If we have the opportunity but cannot take advantage of it, we have to accept it. According to AFC regulations (head-to-head rules and goal difference between opposing teams), we must comply and will try our best in the final match to win against North Korea. What happens after that must follow AFC regulations."

As for Jordan U23 coach Abu Ismail, he said: "This is not the result we expected. We had 5 chances but could not score, especially the chances in the penalty area. Hopefully the players will play better in the final match.

Jordan had an unlucky game. We could have scored at least 3 goals in the first half. The important thing is that we have a better chance of going through to the next round.

When asked about the playing style of U23 North Korea and U23 Vietnam, coach Abu Ismail said: "There are many differences in the playing style of the two teams. We respect both. Vietnam has many technical players, while North Korea has better physical strength. In the final match, it is clear that both UAE and Jordan want to win. That is football."

In the final match against U23 North Korea, U23 Vietnam must win and wait for the result of the match between U23 UAE and U23 Jordan, there must be a winner and a loser. If this match ends in a goalless draw, other goal differences will be taken into account and if the two teams draw, U23 Vietnam will definitely be eliminated.
