Midfielder Tuan Anh: 'The Vietnamese team will try to implement the tactics set out by the coaching staff'

On the morning of September 6, just 12 hours after the match with the Russian team at the 2024 international friendly tournament, the Vietnamese team continued to practice to prepare for the match against the Thai team on September 10. Before this practice session, midfielder Tuan Anh shared his determination.

At the beginning of the interview, Tuan Anh commented on the current Thai team: "Teams in each period are different, Thailand has now changed a lot in terms of playing style and personnel compared to 2019 and so has the Vietnamese team. For their part, the Vietnamese team will try to implement the tactics set out by the coaching staff."

Sharing about the fact that the Golden Temple team's roster this time lacks important faces like Chanathip Songkrasin or Theerathon Bunmathan, the Thai Binh player said: "Those are two important players for Thailand. Despite the absence of this duo, Thailand still has many other excellent players. The other team has a clear playing style based on team spirit and this is a strong team."

"The whole team hopes to win against Thailand. Whether or not they start is not important, the team's performance is the top priority. After the match with Russia yesterday, coach Kim Sang-sik encouraged the whole team and asked the team to focus on the match with Thailand on September 10," Tuan Anh said about the upcoming goal in the match against Thailand.

In the training session on the morning of September 6, the players who started in the match against Russia last night such as Van Lam, Ngoc Hai, Thanh Chung,... were not present. The players did not play a single minute or came off the bench to practice lightly with the ball for about an hour.

The Vietnamese team will face Thailand at 8:00 p.m. on September 10, before that is the confrontation between Thailand and Russia on the evening of September 7.
