Since May 26, the Vietnam Women's Team has started practicing with the official match ball for the 2023 Women's World Cup. Talking about the OCEAUNZ ball, Van Su said: "I also heard my teammates say that the new ball is quite hard and the ball's trajectory is uncomfortable, but the whole team is gradually getting used to the new ball. Although they have not fully adapted to the new ball, they have achieved about 90% success."

"The upcoming match with the German team is also difficult to predict. For me, Germany is like the Philippines, with a tall physique and a strong physical source. Coach Mai Duc Chung always tells the whole team that, with a smaller physique, we must be fast and have good technique to pass people when facing stronger teams. I will also try to be on the list of participants in the Women's World Cup finals. The whole team is excited, because this is the first time Vietnamese women's football has participated in this arena," Van Su added.
