Before the match against Myanmar, coach Calisto pointed out the weaknesses of the Vietnam team.

Vietnam team just won 2-0 against Malaysia team to confidently get a ticket to continue in Group A of AFF Cup 2018, ahead Vietnam team will face a challenge named Myanmar in a match where we have to play away.

Despite having two previous victories, the Vietnamese team must not underestimate their opponents, especially Myanmar, which has made great progress in recent years.

Sharing before the match with Myanmar, former head coach of Vietnam team Henrique Calisto advised this year's players to improve their attack, most importantly keeping their feet on the ground: "Through the match with Malaysia, I saw that Vietnam's defense played quite well, but I'm not very confident about the attack coordination. I feel that Vietnam's attack coordination is still not smooth and sharp. Hopefully this will be improved in the upcoming matches."

"With the victory over Malaysia, the media and public opinion will certainly put the players on cloud nine, but don't forget that this is only a group stage match and there is still a long journey ahead to reach the final. If we are not alert, the Vietnamese team will easily lose, and then those who once cheered will turn around and crush the home team." "10 years ago, my students and I were heavily criticized right before the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2008. If we had not been alert that time, we probably would not have been able to win the championship."

Today (November 19), the Vietnam National Team will have a practice session at Thuwunna main stadium before entering the match at 6:30 p.m. on November 20.
