“We’re facing Indonesia in the semi-finals, and this promises to be a great match. Indonesia is a rapidly improving team; compared to the team we faced in the AFF Cup in Hai Phong , they’ve changed a lot. In particular, the naturalized players have brought a new energy to the team.”
"This is good progress, but we will be cautious. I respect our opponent and will focus all my efforts on this match," said coach Mai Duc Chung.

Regarding a more detailed assessment of the opponent, coach Mai Duc Chung said: “I know Indonesia has naturalized players. We have also studied the opponent and will have a strategy to deal with their tall and strong players.”
We will press high, utilize our best abilities, and play in top form. Even though our opponent has many naturalized players, I believe Vietnam will win.”

Meanwhile, Indonesia's coach Akira Higashiyama said: "We are here to make history. This is the first time the Indonesian women's team has been in the top four at the SEA Games."
Speaking about the semi-final match, I feel confident and relaxed. Vietnam is a very strong opponent; they have won the SEA Games many times and are a strong contender for the championship. We will try our best to play well in tomorrow's match and win.”
This afternoon, December 13th, the Vietnamese women's national team will have a training session at San Suk Stadium (Chonburi, Thailand) to prepare their tactics for the semi-final match against Indonesia at 4:00 PM tomorrow, December 14th, at TSNU Chonburi Stadium (Chonburi, Thailand).
