At 11pm on January 16, the Vietnam team will have a decisive match in the 3rd round of the group stage of the 2019 ASIAN Cup.
With the results in the final round of the 2019 Asian Cup group stage, the Vietnam team needs a victory against Yemen to increase their ability to continue. This is considered a not-so-difficult task because at this year's Asian Cup, Yemen is considered one of the weakest teams in the tournament, so it is not surprising that coach Park Hang-seo is full of confidence towards 3 points in the final match of Group D.
Sharing with the press, the Korean coach said: "Yemen is in the same situation as us, wanting to improve the results after 2 losses, but we want to continue and are determined to win.
The team will not have many changes compared to the previous 2 matches, everything still depends on the preparation of the players, ensuring 100% physical strength to go on the field".
When reporters questioned the starting lineup of the Vietnam National Team, coach Park Hang-seo refused to reveal. The captain of the Vietnam National Team continued: "It will be an important match, but for me, every match is as important as the match against Iran and Iraq. Regarding the match on January 16, I had a few options in mind but now I can't say.
When I choose players to play, I always choose people who are physically and mentally ready, in addition to considering how strong and weak the opponent is. My experience is to choose players who are ready in all aspects".
Yemen is conceding 8 goals and has not scored any goals, thereby finishing last in Group D of the 2019 Asian Cup due to a lower goal difference than Vietnam. Before the tournament started, the Yemen team faced the Philippines team and only had two draws. This is the basis for belief in a victory because the Vietnamese team has defeated "The Azkals" 3 times recently.
In the upcoming match, the Vietnam National Team will not have the service of Duy Manh, however, Coach Park Hang-seo still has many replacement options. As long as we defeat Yemen by 2 goals or more, our team's chance of advancing is very high.
