In an interview with the media before the training session, Que Ngoc Hai said: "This will be an emotional tournament because the AFF Cup is also Coach Park's last tournament. The whole team's goal is to unanimously win the championship as a gift of gratitude to Coach Park. As a coach after 5 years of working together, Coach Park will certainly have many memories, there will be successful periods and difficult times, but the important thing is that the whole team is always united. All of us players feel very lucky to work with Coach Park. The team entered the AFF Cup with high spirits, the pressure is certain because the highest goal we are aiming for is the championship. Personally, I believe that with the current squad and careful preparation, the team will achieve the highest success at the AFF Cup. In my career, this is the 5th time I have participated in the AFF Cup and the person who has been with the team the longest is Coach Park. What he taught, I will pass on to the young players or if I become a coach in the future, I will teach them again. Quote What I remember most is that coach Park always told us that when we enter the field, we must fight with all our might for the flag and the Vietnamese team to be worthy of the trust and love of the fans"./.
