Xuan Truong again demonstrated his ability to communicate in English with foreign reporters. |
At the end of the training session, beIN Sports reporters wanted to interview Coach Park, but the Korean coach refused. After some persuasion from beIN Sports, the Korean coach sent Xuan Truong to answer the questions from the reporter of the above TV channel.
With good English, Xuan Truong communicated directly with beIN Sports reporters in fluent English.
Xuan Truong said: "U23 Vietnam is aiming for a new historical milestone in the match against Syria. My teammates and I are very determined, however, Syria is not an easy opponent.
Although we just had a good performance against Australia, Syria will be a big challenge. However, U23 Vietnam still really wants to achieve a favorable result to create a historical milestone."
In response to the question “How can U23 Vietnam play well against Australia to create a big surprise in this year’s finals?”, Xuan Truong said: “I think this question should be for coach Park Hang Seo. He knows how to make the team play as well as possible.”
Talking about the upcoming tactics that U23 Vietnam will use against Syria, Xuan Truong said: "The tactics we apply in the match against Syria will be decided by Coach Park and the team's coaching staff. Personally, I think that to win, the players must enter the field with the highest determination."
If U23 Vietnam draws, they still have a chance to continue.
Specifically, the following scenarios may occur:
* If U23 Vietnam wins U23 Syria
If they beat U23 Syria in the final match, U23 Vietnam will win a ticket to the quarterfinals, regardless of the result of the match at the same time between U23 Australia and U23 Korea.
Coach Park Hang-Seo and his team will even continue with the top position in Group D if U23 Korea does not beat U23 Australia in the match at the same time.
* If U23 Vietnam loses to U23 Syria
If this result happens, U23 Vietnam will be eliminated.
* If U23 Vietnam draws with U23 Syria
If U23 Vietnam draws with Syria, U23 Vietnam will advance if U23 Australia cannot defeat South Korea.
