Before the decisive match in the group stage of the 2017 SEA Games, Coach Huu Thang let his players practice lightly.

Yesterday, August 23, Coach Huu Thang and his team did not go on the field, but stayed at the hotel to do light training to prepare for the match with Thailand. |

After the 0-0 draw with Indonesia, many players were exhausted, including Duy Manh who was injured and could not play today. Therefore, the coaching staff mainly let the players relax at the base to recover their physical strength. |

Striker Ho Tuan Tai (in jacket) was criticized by the public for missing many opportunities in the match against Indonesia, but he was protected and defended by his teammates. "We are a team that has to encourage and comfort each other. Football is unpredictable and not everyone can score goals just because they want to," a player shared with VnExpress. |
 |
Meanwhile, a member of the coaching staff said: "The players are very united and do not have any fear or anxiety at all. The players are very eager to go out on the field and play a good match to win a ticket to the semi-finals." |

Cong Phuong remains one of Vietnam's biggest hopes, after scoring four goals in the first four matches. |
 |
After practice, the players practiced shooting the ball into the basket. Here, the coaching staff organized a small game for the players to shoot the ball into the basket to create a fun atmosphere. The players who hit the ball would be given a break and the ones who didn't shoot would have to treat the whole team to a cup of coffee. |

At the 28th SEA Games, Vietnam lost 1-4 to Thailand in the group stage. But this afternoon, Cong Phuong and his teammates only need a draw, while their opponents must win to get a ticket to the semi-finals. The Vietnam - Thailand match will take place at 3:00 p.m. (Hanoi time), live onbaonghean.vn |
