Coach Park Hang-seo: "After defeating UAE, we aim to defeat Thailand"

Speaking after Vietnam's 1-0 victory over UAE, coach Park Hang-seo said the next goal will be to defeat opponent Thailand.

"The joy of victory over UAE will soon end. Tomorrow we will return to training to prepare to face Thailand. I determined that this is the most important opponent" - Mr. Park said.

He said: "We still have four more matches in the World Cup qualifiers. The road is long. We have an important match this year against Thailand. The joy of victory over the UAE will soon end. Tomorrow, we will return to training to prepare to face the Thais. I consider this the biggest and most important opponent."

Korean media praises Vietnam football team

Just a few minutes after the referee blew the final whistle at My Dinh Stadium, many Korean newspapers reported on the victory of Park Hang-seo and his team - a football legend of the kimchi country.

Chosun Ilbo news site ran the headline "Park Hang-seo's magic helps Vietnam team beat UAE 1-0".

Hankook Ilbo did not spare any ink to praise Tien Linh. This newspaper assessed that the striker wearing the number 22 shirt had an exemplary handling that not all European strikers could do.

Meanwhile, Sport Seoul commented: "The Vietnamese people are experiencing an excitement they have never had before, and the red shirt army is getting closer to the third qualifying round."

Record rain at Wembley, England team wins ticket to Euro 2020

Just one more point would have been enough to complete the target, but England did more than fans expected in their 1,000th match as they officially qualified for the Euro finals next summer.

A series of former Three Lions players from many eras were present at Wembley Stadium to witness England's biggest victory in the qualifying round and the young team of coach Gareth Southgate, thereby also stepping both feet on the Euro 2020 train just waiting for the departure time.

With 18 points after 7 matches, England officially won a ticket to the Euro 2020 finals.

How much was the Vietnamese team rewarded after winning against the UAE?

Coach Park Hang Seo and his team were awarded 2 billion VND for defeating UAE 1-0 at My Dinh Stadium on the evening of November 14.

This result helped the Vietnamese team rise to the top of Group G with 14 points, 3 points more than Thailand and 4 points more than the UAE. With this achievement, Coach Park Hang Seo and his team received a bonus of 2 billion VND. VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh said that the above amount includes 1 billion VND in bonus from VFF and 1 billion VND from a real estate company.

Thai fans complained: "If we play like this, we will be defeated by Vietnam."

Thai fans are frustrated and have lost faith in coach Akira Nishino's team after the reverse loss in Malaysia.

Witnessing the performance of their team, Thai fans could only lament. On the homepage of the Thai team (Changsuek), many fans made negative comments about this team. They even said that the "War Elephants" would be defeated by the Vietnamese team at My Dinh if they continued to play like they did against Malaysia.

Thai fans criticized their team on Facebook.
Fan Chang Monkon commented: "I don't understand what tactics coach Nishino is using anymore." Fan Toe Fol bitterly said: "Losing after scoring an early goal is such a bad result. I don't remember Thailand ever losing in an area like this."

Losing to Malaysia, Thailand fell to second in Group G, 1 point behind the Vietnamese team. If they continue to fail at My Dinh on the evening of November 19, the "War Elephants" will have very little chance of entering the next stage of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.
