Coach Kim Sang Sik said: "Reaching the final is the combined result of the support from Vietnamese fans and the dedication and sacrifices of the players." He cited a Vietnamese proverb, "With effort, iron is ground into a needle," meaning the team has trained hard and strived for a long time, and he hopes for a positive outcome in tomorrow’s final against Thailand.
According to Coach Kim Sang Sik, U22 Thailand is well-organized and has many players with strong individual skills, good physicality, and speed. Forward Yotsakorn Burapha has scored multiple goals and contributed in various ways. Therefore, Ly Duc and all the defenders of the Vietnamese team need to defend well to achieve the desired result.
The Vietnamese team coach affirmed that U22 Vietnam will prepare diligently for a strong final performance. The most important thing is to play safely without injuries, and the referee’s role will be very crucial. He expressed his hope that the referees will officiate fairly to allow both teams to play well and for the match to proceed smoothly.
Meanwhile, U22 Thailand’s head coach Thawathchai stated: "Tomorrow’s match is highly anticipated by Thai football fans. This will be the fourth match at the Rajamangala stadium... U22 Thailand has recovered well and resumed training. We have an optimal lineup, good morale, and players who work well as a team."
According to this coach, during their training camp, U22 Thailand faced many strong Asian teams. Meeting U22 Vietnam now is a big challenge, but Thailand aims to be a strong team in Asia. The goal of U22 Thailand is to win the gold medal, and they will strive to achieve victory tomorrow.
