Coach Park affirmed that Vietnam is not afraid of Thailand, got angry in the press conference room

At 7:00 p.m. tomorrow, September 5, the Vietnam national team will enter the first match of the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia against Thailand. Before this match, the Korean coach chose Que Ngoc Hai to attend the press conference on the afternoon of September 4.

According to Nghe An Newspaper reporters present in the press conference room, there were about 250 reporters from Vietnam, Japan and South Korea participating. Before entering the press conference, Coach Park Hang-seo prioritized Que Ngoc Hai to answer reporters' questions first so that he could attend the training session in time.

True to the spirit of the captain of the Vietnam National Team, Que Ngoc Hai shared: “The Vietnam National Team has had 10 days to prepare for tomorrow’s match. All players are very comfortable mentally and very confident for the match with the Thailand National Team.”

Assessing Thailand's strength, the central defender from Nghe An continued: "The Thai national team has just appointed a new Japanese coach. The Thai players are eager to have a good performance in the first match under coach Nishino. That is the motivation for them to play well. The players playing abroad are very important to Thailand. That is their strength in tomorrow's match."

When asked by reporters about the intensity of the confrontation between Thailand and Vietnam, Que Ngoc Hai said: “In football, collisions are inevitable. We will enter the field and play with determination and a desire to win. Both teams want to win, so we will try to give the fans a great match full of emotions tomorrow.”

Regarding the head coach of the Vietnam national team, sharing about the victory over Thailand in the King's Cup, Mr. Park said: "Vietnam's victory over Thailand in the King's Cup does not have much significance. In the past, Vietnamese football often had unfavorable results against Thailand.

However, things have changed as Vietnamese players have been able to play more confidently against Thailand. I believe that after the recent victories, generations of Vietnamese players from now on can believe that Thailand is an opponent that can be completely defeated, there is nothing to be wary of them."

In addition, coach Park Hang-seo also highly appreciated midfielder Chanathip, the most dangerous player on the host Thailand side. Coach Park said that the Vietnamese national team and the defense need to be especially vigilant against this player.

“I am the head coach of the Vietnam national team, so for me, every match and tournament has pressure, especially this is the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, the next match is played away. I know the Thais have prepared well for this match. They just got a new coach, I think tomorrow's match will be difficult for Vietnam.

We have prepared for the match in the most calm and focused way. We do not know what the result will be tomorrow, but we will prepare with the same spirit as before, that is the Vietnamese spirit, the collective spirit to do the best things," the Korean coach affirmed.

Two days ago, a Vietnamese online newspaper posted a photo of the Thai national team practicing from a hotel. This photo immediately became a hot topic because it was a private practice session of the Thai national team and the media was not allowed to cover it.

Answering questions from Thai reporters at the press conference before the match, Coach Park Hang-seo expressed his disappointment: "I am not too concerned about this issue, I only care about my team and tomorrow's match. I have seen this information on Korean newspapers and the President of the Football Association of Thailand has also commented on this issue.

I don't think it's a sensitive issue. Do they need to do that? I'm the head coach and I have no authority in this matter. But I think it's too sensitive to push reporters to the lower floors to make sure they don't steal the news."

There was another interesting detail in the press conference, because he felt that the Thai reporters were quite noisy and unruly, Coach Park Hang-seo was annoyed and frankly asked the reporters to keep order. Coach Park Hang-seo's statement made the entire press conference room silent.

“I ask the reporters in the distance to be quiet, when we respect you, I have answered your questions and we answered very seriously. So you should also respect us. If you do not want to listen, you can go out so that the press conference can take place in a quality way, so that both sides can exchange information in a quality way. Besides, the time is very short, we can save time to complete the practice session”./.
