Vietnam U.17 coach said something very interesting after the resounding victory over Malaysia: It was wonderful and… wonderful

"U.17 Vietnam deserves what they have achieved"

In the final match of Group C, U.17 Vietnam won 4-0 against U.17 Malaysia. Thereby, coach Cristiano Roland and his team won tickets to the 2026 AFC U-17 Championship. After the match, head coach Roland shared: "We deserve what we have achieved. We have shown that this is a strong team. As I said from the beginning, U.17 Vietnam always sets goals for each match."

"My job is to show the players the way and they have done it excellently. The U.17 Vietnam players are truly amazing, through what they have done. The U.17 Vietnam achieved a great result, proving that we are a strong team. I am grateful to all the fans who came to the stadium. I want the best for Vietnam, for Vietnamese football. The truth is that I am here because of love, for the development of Vietnamese football", Mr. Roland added.

And it seemed that the joy was so great that his speech became cumbersome. He kept mentioning the phrase "I am a happy coach", then explaining that happiness with a bit of confusion. The confusion was lovely and interesting. He kept using the word "wonderful" to describe his students and emphasized "they really deserve to be congratulated. Wonderful and... wonderful.

At this moment, the most important thing for me is that I am very happy and satisfied. The players did everything I asked and believed in what I conveyed. I am also very happy because I have completed my mission. Tomorrow, I will return and work at Hanoi Club. I have 14 more days to prepare my team to participate in the upcoming U.19 national tournament. Therefore, I am happy but tomorrow will be another mission."
