Regarding the strength of the opponent, Coach Mai Đức Chung said: "Facing Indonesia in the semifinals will be a promising match. Indonesia has progressed quickly compared to what I knew about them before.

Previously, the Indonesian team had never reached the SEA Games semifinals. Compared to the team we faced at the AFF Cup in Hai Phong, there have been many changes. Especially, the naturalized players have brought new energy to them. This is a good progress that we will be cautious about. I highly respect the opponent and will focus fully on this match.
