Because they just played against Iraq, Coach Park Hang-seo divided the team into two groups for this training session. The group of players who started yesterday's match practiced recovery at the hotel's gym while the other group exercised at a higher intensity outside the training ground to ensure their physical strength as well as practice more tactical moves.

The good news is that after the opening match, there were no unfortunate injuries. Defender Duy Manh only suffered a slight scratch on the bridge of his nose due to a collision with an opposing player, which did not affect his health or training plan.

Speaking to the press before the training session, young striker Ha Duc Chinh said the whole team is focusing on the match against Iran. "After the match, when returning to the hotel, the team members encouraged and shared with each other as usual like any other match, reminding each other to try to rest and eat well to prepare for the next match. Iran is a team with good physical condition. The team will try to overcome mistakes, improve and perfect the way they play," Duc Chinh commented.

Striker Ha Duc Chinh answers media interviews.

When asked about the criticism of the team on social media, Ha Duc Chinh said: "I don't go on Facebook these days to read negative comments so I don't have any comments. I and all my teammates feel regretful that the team couldn't get 1 point in the match against Iraq. What is needed now is to focus on the next match."

This afternoon, the team will rest and recuperate and will return to the training ground tomorrow afternoon./.
