At first, it was quite difficult to breathe, but gradually we got used to it. After the recent matches, the whole team has adapted more.”Huynh Nhu admitted that she and her teammates had difficulty practicing and competing in the hot weather in Cambodia.

Talking about the important victory against Myanmar on the afternoon of May 6, Huynh Nhu said:“After playing well for the first 30 minutes, the team was a bit overwhelmed at the end of the first half and lost concentration, so we were tied. In the second half, the whole team regained their spirit and played better.”
