Although they had to accept a narrow 1-2 defeat, what coach Mai Duc Chung's students performed was commendable.

Page 163.com ran the headline: “Surprisingly, the Vietnamese women’s team only lost 1-2 to Germany. Their strength is now not inferior to China’s.”

Below the article, the Chinese newspaper gave many compliments to the fighting spirit of the girls in red.

“Despite facing the world's number 2 team, the Vietnamese women's team did not back down and only lost narrowly 1-2.

In the European Women's Football Championship, Germany is the current runner-up. Previously, the Vietnamese women's team also defeated both Frankfurt and Hoffenheim clubs of Germany.

A year ago, the Vietnamese women’s team was outside the world’s top 40. The gap between them and the top 5 in Asia was quite large.

But through the latest training trip in Europe, the Vietnamese women's team has shown strong progress in quality.

The most obvious change is the increased defensive ability. The ability to take advantage of opportunities of the Vietnamese strikers has also improved.

Although the German team fielded a strong lineup with many key players, that was not enough to help them easily defeat the Vietnamese women's team.

With the Vietnamese women's team, even though they were behind, they did not give up the game," 163.com continued.

At the end of the article, the Chinese newspaper said that, with what they are showing, coach Mai Duc Chung's students will be one of the biggest rivals of the billion-people country's football team in Asia.

At the same time, the writer of 163.com also affirmed that the salary that Vietnamese female players receive is too little and not worthy of what they have brought.

“Thanh Nha, the player who scored the only goal against Germany, only receives a salary of about 500 yuan/month.

The above salary is not worthy for them. This amount is much lower than that of male players,” reported 163.com.

After the match with Germany, Huynh Nhu and her teammates moved back to Vietnam to continue training for the 2023 Women's World Cup.
