I, a strong Indonesian, am not yet skillful.
After carefully analyzing the opponent and having the entire team review the match footage, Coach Mai Duc Chung stated: "The Indonesian women's team has 4-6 new and naturalized players to strengthen their squad for the SEA Games 33, but overall, the quality is uneven. They have 4 players who are nearly 1.90m tall, and the remaining players are of Indonesian origin, also small in stature like the Vietnamese players. We can definitely play against them, and we shouldn't be as apprehensive as when facing the Philippines." The Vietnamese women's team may not have too much trouble neutralizing Indonesia's playing style, but they still need to maximize their strengths and avoid complacency.
The Indonesian women's team possesses good physical fitness, but their ability to handle situations and coordinate effectively is not yet fully developed. The naturalized players are strong in aerial duels, mainly playing long balls and high passes, but lack finesse. Their movement and agility remain limited. Indonesia suffered a heavy 0-8 defeat to Thailand simply because their playing style was monotonous and their defense lacked solidity.
The Vietnamese women's team is determined to win in the semi-finals, defeating the Indonesian team.

Indonesia's 3-1 comeback victory against Singapore was thanks to the individual efforts of their naturalized players. However, that won't be easy to replicate against Vietnam, as our defenders are experienced and possess the composure to press, cover, and neutralize their attacks. Simply by preventing the opponent from creating space for long passes into the penalty area, the Vietnamese defense is capable of containing Indonesia. Captain Pham Hai Yen emphasized in yesterday's press conference: "Even though the opponent has naturalized players, that's not a big problem. The coaching staff always reminds us not to worry too much about that. What's important is how the Vietnamese team plays. As long as we showcase the qualities we demonstrated in the victory against Myanmar, we will definitely defeat our opponent and reach the final."
S will overcome the opponent.
Both Japanese coach Akira Higashiyama and Indonesian women's team captain Gea Yumanda emphasized their desire to continue making history after achieving the impressive milestone of reaching the SEA Games semi-finals for the first time. The coach and his team even suggested that the six days of rest after the match against Singapore would be an advantage, allowing the entire team to fully recover and be in good shape to play well against Vietnam.
But will this advantage be realized tomorrow afternoon? Coach Mai Duc Chung said: "In football, if the match schedule is the same for all teams, then having an extra 1-2 days of rest is an advantage for any team. But at the SEA Games, Vietnam's match schedule is very stable with the same rest period for all 3 matches. Indonesia, in their group of 3 teams, only played 2 matches, so more rest time isn't necessarily good because they might lose their rhythm. Physical fitness is good, but it's also related to mental state and ball control. A longer rest period in this case isn't necessarily an advantage."
Coach Mai Duc Chung added: "The semi-final promises to be very exciting. Indonesia is improving quickly, but they are not too difficult for us to face. I will not be complacent and will field the tightest possible formation, maximizing the strengths of each line. We have solutions to counter long balls and 'close off' space so that some of Indonesia's tall players cannot have opportunities to head the ball. The Vietnamese players will play aggressively, perform at their best, show collective strength, and strive with determination to win deservedly. We will do our utmost to secure a place in the final."
