Striker Nguyen Tien Linh: Vietnam team determined to achieve the highest goal in Asian Cup qualifiers
Before the second training session of the Vietnam National Team, striker Nguyen Tien Linh shared about the physical condition, preparation of the whole team as well as the goals ahead.
On the afternoon of March 13, the Vietnam National Team entered the second training session in Binh Duong. Before the training session, striker Nguyen Tien Linh shared with the media: "Currently, the whole team is in very good spirits and looking forward to the important matches in the Asian Cup qualifiers. Hopefully we can maintain good physical condition and solidarity to achieve positive results in the upcoming matches."
Besides, Tien Linh also emphasized that the team's physical condition is quite stable thanks to playing regularly in the V-League. Players like Tien Linh and Thanh Binh are in the process of recovery but it will only take about 1-2 days to return to normal training. Therefore, this is not too worrying for Tien Linh personally as well as the whole team. Although some players have minor injuries, the team's spirit is still very comfortable.
Facing Southeast Asian opponents is no longer a strange thing for the Vietnam National Team. In the upcoming journey, we will face Laos in the opening match of the ASEAN Cup, and may face Cambodia in the remaining group. Tien Linh emphasized that the team must maintain confidence and courage when facing teams in the region, thereby affirming its position.
One of the most regrettable losses of the team this time is the injury of striker Nguyen Xuan Son.
Tien Linh expressed regret that the team lost an important player: "Xuan Son's injury is unfortunate and a big loss for the Vietnam team. He had an extremely successful tournament. However, the whole team and I will try to play well to make up for Xuan Son's absence, especially in the next two matches."
In addition to the pillars of the team, this time the squad also has the appearance of young faces such as Vi Hao and Minh Khoa. Tien Linh said that this is a special opportunity for the young players of Binh Duong Club to play right on their home field: "Not only Vi Hao or Minh Khoa, but the first time the young players of Binh Duong can play on Binh Duong province's stadium is also a great motivation. Personally, Vi Hao and Minh Khoa all feel that this is a special opportunity, that is to wear the national team jersey right on their home field. That will certainly be a great source of motivation for us to give our all''./.
