"Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Tien Linh have some injury problems. Although they cannot participate in 100% training with the team, this does not affect tomorrow's match. I believe that the Vietnamese team will have good results against the Indian team," coach Kim Sang-sik opened the press conference on the afternoon of October 11 before the match between the Vietnamese team and the Indian team at FIFA Days in October.
The Korean coach said that in the next match, he will not have too many changes in defense.
"In attack, the team still has many talented players. If the whole team plays together and aims for victory, everything will be fine and I believe in a good result. Before that, I watched the performances of players like Nguyen Van Quyet and Chau Ngoc Quang in domestic tournaments.
The Vietnamese team needs more playing experience and new energy. All players are having good connections. This is very useful for the future. I am doing my best to create positive energy for the whole team. We always try to bring joy to fans and spectators after each match," Mr. Kim Sang-sik affirmed.
The captain of the Vietnamese team expressed that he is not too worried because tomorrow's match is also the last match to prepare for the ASEAN Cup 2024. Recently, the players have been in good physical condition, so the whole team is very confident looking forward to tomorrow's match.
Also at the press conference, young striker Nguyen Dinh Bac said he is in the best spirit and physical condition for tomorrow's match.
"This is my first time officially working with coach Kim Sang-sik. I think everyone has to meet the professional requirements because each coach's playing style is different.
I think I can meet the requirements of coach Kim Sang-sik. Whether I am on the field or not, I will still maintain my best spirit of dedication. If I am on the field, I will play my best," Dinh Bac said.
The match between Vietnam and India will take place at 6:00 p.m. on October 12 at Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh.
