Vietnam U23 players received "hot bonuses" from coach Park Hang-seo
Coach Park Hang-seo understands his players' psychology very well and often has "tricks" to help the players feel comfortable before going onto the field.
After defeating U23 Qatar in the semi-finals on January 23 and winning a ticket to the final match of the 2018 U23 Asian Cup, coach Park Hang-seo spent the entire day of January 24 for his players to rest.
Because the final match will take place at Changzhou Stadium, U23 Vietnam will not have to travel far and will have more time to rest.
The players will be free to play and shop on the 24th before gathering at the hotel on time. This is the Korean coach's psychological approach that has helped the whole team feel really comfortable before playing the last and most important match, the final.

In the quarter-final win over Iraq, Coach Park Hang-seo did the same thing with U23 Vietnam to help his players relax after exhausting minutes on the field. And this worked when the players fought confidently against U23 Qatar in the semi-final.
On January 25, U23 Vietnam will return to training. The team will have 2 training sessions to prepare for the final match with U23 Uzbekistan. The final match of the 2018 AFC U23 Championship between U23 Vietnam and U23 Uzbekistan will take place at 3:00 p.m. on January 27 at Changzhou Stadium (Jiangsu, China), where Quang Hai and his teammates impressively defeated U23 Qatar in the semi-final on January 23./.
