Coach Kim Sang-sik: It's very difficult to win big against Indonesia

" The players also expected many goals. I know the fans expected many goals and I also expected so, but in reality it was very difficult. Quang Hai scored 1 goal to bring home the victory. We won 3 important points and I thank the whole team for trying ," coach Kim Sang-sik said in the press conference after the match.

Quang Hai scored the only goal to help Vietnam win 1-0.

As expected by experts, the Vietnamese team completely controlled the game in the match against Indonesia. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team had a ball possession time of up to 72%. However, the first half witnessed the stalemate of the Vietnamese team. There were no truly dangerous opportunities created except for Van Vi's shot near the penalty area in the 3rd minute.

In the second half, the situation was more positive for the Vietnamese team. Nguyen Quang Hai was the main player with many good passes. In the 77th minute, he shot from a distance and the ball hit the crossbar. Immediately after that, Tien Linh's handling created conditions for Quang Hai to score the only goal.

Coach Kim Sang-sik won against Indonesia.

" We didn't get good results against Indonesia before, so I'm satisfied with this victory. In this match, Indonesia played with a low formation, making it difficult for us to attack in the first half. But the players tried very hard and scored a goal in the second half. I'm very satisfied with the players' performance. I think Quang Hai was the best player in this match, leading the team very well.

This match is very important for the whole team. Everyone is worried, the players too, but the team has prepared well. When it rained, I reminded Nguyen Filip to make a decisive choice. I expected a victory from the beginning and I did it ," Mr. Kim excitedly said.

According to the Korean coach, the upcoming match schedule of the Vietnamese team is very tight. Coach Kim and his team will travel to the Philippines and return to Vietnam to welcome Myanmar in 6 days. The coaching staff has prepared plans to ensure the players' physical strength.
