From there, the coaching staff selected the best lineup and built a playing style suitable for the team. Of course, the goal of the Vietnam women's team is to win all 3 points against Cambodia in the opening match.
At the press conference before the tournament, coach Mai Duc Chung emphasized: "The Southeast Asian Women's Championship is an important front, and at the same time an opportunity to compete, helping us prepare directly for the SEA Games taking place at the end of this year.
The opponents have made very positive changes. So we have to try, focus and make efforts in each match. An advantage for the Vietnam women's team is playing at home.
The support of the fans will give us more motivation. I hope fans will accompany and cheer for the Vietnam women's team in this tournament".
Playing at home is a big advantage for the Vietnam women's team. Therefore, the whole team will give their all and bring about favorable results.
On the other side, the Cambodian women's team also has relatively serious preparation. They have just appointed new head coach Koji Gyotoku - who will lead both the men's and U23 Cambodia teams. This shows the great ambition of this team in unifying the goals and competition tactics.
