(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Huynh Nhu hopes that her experience playing for Lank FC will contribute to the Vietnamese women's team in the upcoming match against Portugal.
On the afternoon of July 25, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team had a closed training session at Fred Taylor Park (Auckland). Before the training session, President of the Vietnam Football Federation - Mr. Tran Quoc Tuan visited and encouraged the female players before the second match of the 2023 Women's World Cup.
Before the important match against Portugal, captain Huynh Nhu shared: "After the first match with the US women's team, the teamVietnam women's teamhave gained experience and lessons for the next matches. Now, the whole team must practice more, improve the mistakes in the last match, try to overcome them to enter the next match against Portugal. In this tournament, the teams ranked lower in terms of ranking and level have created some surprises. I think the difference in level between women's football teams in the world is not too big. This is an opportunity for Vietnam to get closer to world football. I believe that if Vietnam has the opportunity to compete in the next World Cups, the team will play much better.
Huynh Nhu hopes that her experience playing for Lank FC will contribute to the Vietnamese women's team: "I spent some time playing in Portugal. I saw the potential of this team. I also know the strengths and weaknesses of Portuguese players when they play in the national championship of this country. I will have solutions for myself. Hopefully that will help the Vietnamese women's team in the upcoming match."
In the opening match, Portugal only lost 0-1 to the current runner-up Netherlands, showing that this team has prepared very carefully for the 2023 World Cup. In terms of physique, fitness and ranking on the FIFA rankings, Portugal is rated higher than the Vietnamese women's team, but in this match, Huynh Nhu and her teammates believe they can make a difference.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese women's team will travel to Hamilton on the morning of July 26. Here, Huynh Nhu and her teammates will have an official training session at Porritt Stadium in the afternoon of the same day before playing against Portugal at 2:30 p.m. on July 27 (Vietnam time)./.
