Thanh Vũ |

Center back Nguyen Thanh Chung of the Vietnamese team said that he and his teammates have no fear of the Thai team.

On the evening of January 2, the Vietnamese team won 2-1 against Thailand in the first leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final. This was a pretty good match for center-back Nguyen Thanh Chung. He also had a spectacular save in the 81st minute.

This was the situation where the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back after Suphanat's free kick, forcing Thanh Chung to rush back very quickly to head the ball to prevent the opponent from finishing into the empty net.

Talking about this situation, Thanh Chung shared: "For me - today's match is no different from a war. Not just me, in that situation, everyone would do the same as me."

Thanh Chung continued: "The whole team is very determined in this match. We still have the second leg of the final, we can't say anything yet. The whole team will stay focused for the final battle in Thailand.

We have no concept of being afraid of Thailand. I have seen and heard many people say that we are afraid of Thailand. We love football, we are not afraid of anyone. I hope everyone will support the team. The team will strive for the championship, bringing joy to the fans in the new year."

The second leg final between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at 8:00 p.m. on January 5 at Rajamangala Stadium (Thailand).
